Would teaching abroad with only an iPad 2 be an okay idea or do I need a computer?

I am moving to student teach abroad in 2 months. My 15" MacBook Pro recently died and I am debating on whether to take just my 16gb iPad 2 with me. Would the iPad have enough processing power to handle all lesson plans, pictures, ect. or do I need to purchase a new computer?

For what you want to do, you need a computer. A lot of students going off to college post the same question, and the users here always say computer.

Setting up an airport express router with only an ipad

i will be in a hotel room with only ethernet wired connection. i am traveling only with my ipad. can i hook up an wireless modem (Airport exrpress) without a laptop? How?

The iPad operating system will not support AirPort Utility, the application that is needed to configure the AirPort Express.
Your best bet for the time being is going to be to try to use the AirPort Express in its default settings.
Connect the Express to the Ethernet port at the hotel and power it up. The Express is broadcasting a default wireless network with a name like Apple Network xxxxxx, where the "x" could be a letter or number. Look for that wireless network to log on (there is no password). Then open your browser to see if the hotel's log in page appears so you can agree to terms and fees, etc.
If the hotel does not use a log in page, you should be connected to the Internet if all is well. Since you have an "open" network, anyone within range can log on to your wireless, so you might want to be careful with any sensitive banking or credit card transactions.
It's not likely that a hacker is close by, but you never know.
Once you get back home, you can use AirPort Utility to setup the Express to name your wireless network and etstablish a password. Once you save the settings, you should not need to configure the Experss again as it will retain its settings.

As I want to buy an iPad Air2 and am told that I also need a computer as backup to go with it, I was wondering if I could use the MacMini with the iPad Air2. Is this possible or do I need a computer for downloading my files from the iPad to a disc?

CAn I use an iPad Air2 with a MacMini like a computer... Using the iPad as a display and keyboardfor the MacMini???

A Mac Mini s a computer you can use with the iPad.
YO do not need a computer fro backup since yo can backup to iCloud.
However, sometimes software glitches occur and require connecting the device to a compute to restore vi iTuunes.
You can control a computer via an iPod with an app like TeamViewer or LogMeIn. There are others too.
You can also use an iPad a a SECONDAY monitor for a computer. with other apps.
You need a dedicated monitor, keyboard and mouse to setup the Mini. You can use a PC USB mouse and keyboard.

How do I set up a 4620 office jet on an airport network with only an iPad?

I only have an iPad and set up airport network no problem, but HP office jet 4620 printer won't connect without wps or computer. Any ideas?

Hi Neil1950,
You will be doing this wirelessly without the need for a cable. From the iPad Settings icon, click on Wi-Fi>Network>Select the printer's network to connect using the same steps listed above.
After your iPad is connected,
1. Open Safari in the iPad and enter 192.168.223.1in the addressbar and press enter.
2. Navigate to the WIreless Setup Wizard to setup your printer on your network.
3. Follow the steps to join your printer on the network.

I was installing a new update on my MacBook Pro. With only 20% left it said "an unknown error had occured, please restart your computer." Now that I've restarted - I can't log in!

Ok, my MacBook haven't had any issues earlier, until today. At first Safari was acting kind of weird in that sense that a lot of letters were missing when you went on certain webpages, so I thought of updating since an alert-window popped up and notified that new updates were ready to be installed. So I opened up App Store through my Applications-folder and selected update.
First it asked if I wanted to connect my Mac to a powersource but since I had charged the battery to 79% I didn't think it was necessary. So I continued, computer restarted and began installing the updates.
Everything went fine until it was approximately three minutes left. An error message popped up and said something like "An unknown error has occured. Please restart your computer and try again". I pressed OK, rebooted my computer and when it asked for my password I typed it in. After I pressed OK, the computer indicated it was the wrong password. I tried multiple times and sometimes with different passwords... so now I can't simply log in! What's the problem?
TL;DR - Updated mac, failed after five minutes and now I can't log back in since "I have the wrong password"

SQL query to retrieve families with only one generation from a family db

Hi,
I need to write an SQL query that would select families with only one generation ((which means a person - or a married couple - with kids) or (a person - or a married couple - with parents but no kids)) from a database containing families. The simplified db structure is:
person:
id - int, primary key
siblings:
id
parent_id
kid_id
marriage
id:
husband_id
wife_id
Could anyone please help me? I dont really have any idea how to accomplish that...

Hi,
Welcome to the forum!
Assuming that siblings (despite its name) contains only parent-child relationships, and that the parent_id could be either the mother or the father:
WITH     got_tree     AS
     SELECT     CONNECT_BY_ROOT s.parent_id     AS root_id
     ,     LEVEL                     AS lvl
     FROM          siblings     s
     LEFT OUTER JOIN     marriage     m     ON     s.parent_id     IN ( m.husband_id
                                                        , m.wife_id
     START WITH     parent_id     NOT IN     ( SELECT kid_id
                                           FROM        siblings
     CONNECT BY     s.parent_id     IN ( PRIOR m.husband_id
                            , PRIOR m.wife_id
                            , PRIOR kid_id
SELECT       root_id
FROM       got_tree
GROUP BY root_id
HAVING       MAX (lvl)     <= 2
;This will get a list of parents who may or may not have children, but who do not have either parents or grandchildren.
To get their spouses and children (if any) you will have to join this result set to all the other tables. At that point, you can eliminate poeple who do not have ancestors themselves, but are married to people who have more than one generation of ancestors.
The details of how to do that depend on the details of your tables. If you'd like help, then post a little sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements for all tables) and the results you want from that data.

I'd need sample data in order to test this, of course.

I came to Apple Store fix my iPad and they told me the only thing they can replace it for $254 but I forgot to ask Wich iPad they would replace it with I have the iPad 1

I concur with Ralph; while you can get your iPad replaced, I likewise suggest you consider putting the money toward a newer iPad. Apple has some good deals on refurbished iPads in the online Apple Store you could check out. Depending on what is wrong with your current iPad, you might be able to sell it to someone for parts - eBay is the most likely venue - and recoup some additional money to put toward a newer iPad. I'd recommend a 3rd-generation iPad if you can afford it, though the iPad 2 will still run the most recent version of iOS.

HT204053 My husband and I both have iPhones but we only have one iPad. We use the same apple ID because we also share the same email address. How would this work with iCloud because we don't share the same contacts? Thanks Elainecontacts

My husband and I both have an iPhone and we share an iPad. We also share the same email address so how would this work with iCloud because we don't share all the same contacts?
Thanks

An icloud account is designed to be used by one user. That user can have all his/her devices synced with the same Apple data (email, contacts, calendars, notes, reminders, etc.) . When two people use the same account, then problems usually occur when one user edits data that the other user doesn't want changed on their device. You can continue sharing the same ID for the itunes account in order to share the purchased music, apps, etc. itunes accounts and icloud accounts are different.
It's by far better that each user has his/her own icloud account.

I have an ipad and an iphone. For the purposes of facetime, I would like to associated my email address with just the ipad and my cell number with just the iphone. I went to settings facetime on the iphone but it won't let me remove the email address.

Please see above. I have both an ipad and and iphoen. For the purposes of facetime, I would like to associate only my email address with the ipad and only the phone number iwht the iphobne. However, I cannot remove the email address from the iphone. So, when I get a facetime via email, it rings on both the iphone and ipad. Settings>>facetime will not let me remove the email.

I wouldn't want to say exactly, however I would imagine that it has to do with the fact you use the same Apple ID on both devices. Since Facetime was activated on the phone, with the number, and then activated on the iPad with the email and same Apple ID, they are somehow linked. I'm not sure that you can separate it without having a different Apple ID on the two devices. Otherwise you can look at this support document http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3367 and see if that helps you any.

My iPad air would not start. Only show the apple logo then no reaction after that.

My iPad air would not start. Only show the apple logo then no reaction after that. This is already the 2nd time. Last time I sent back to the service center and they said it is the system problem and reset the system and charge me for the service because they said it is not a hardware problem. It happened less then 30 days and same problem again. Can someone please send me the hard-reset step so I can try myself before I send back to the service center again? thanks

Here's the hard reset info:

Post something about what happened with your visit.

I need to sync an ipad mini with a regular ipad. If I were to open them plug them both into the same computers itunes, would they have identical information?

I need to sync an ipad mini with a regular ipad. If I were to open them plug them both into the same computers itunes, would they have identical information?

You will need to choose one as the "master", back that unit up to iTunes, then restore the other unit from that backup and then sync all the same content and apps. That's the only way they'd have identical data. If you need to keep then synched on an ongoing basis, you'll probably need to use some sort of cloud-based service such as iCloud or Dropbox to hold the data, which of course will require that your apps support that service for storage of documents.

When i try to sync photos from iPhoto to my iPad using iTunes, the "Selected Folders" option is greyed out with only the "All Folders" option available, how do i change this?

When i try to sync photos from iPhoto to my iPad using iTunes, the "Selected Folders" option is greyed out with only the "All Folders" option available, how do i change this?

I add the keyword 'sync' to any photos I want added to the iPhone/iPad.
Then, during the regular process of syncing the iPhone/iPad with my computer (mac), the photos with that keyword would be copied onto the iPhone, iPad.
I've been doing it this way ever since I was shown how to; ie after I got my iPhone 2 years ago. And every time the process worked - until the last few weeks. Suddenly it doesn't do it any more.
I believe I have upgraded software (either iTunes or iPhoto or both) during this period. I try to keep my software updated but have noticed previously that the new version often is disappointing.
I've not tended to use Smart albums much.
