iPad

It doesn't have a word processor, but you can get little apps that will keep notes and text files. You can also type into emails. But it's more for browsing the internet rather than for typing homework.

It has a keyboard that appears on the screen which takes a bit of getting used to. You can also plug in a keyboard.

1. Sync your iPad with iTunes or iCloud. My preference is iTunes, because you can sync with a local computer through a cable and not have to worry about communication problems throught WiFi or 3G.
2. Plug the iPad into your computer. Wait for the computer to recognize your iPad and load iTunes. Wait for iTunes to complete the Syncing process -- sometimes seven steps.
3. Backup your iPad. Click the Back Up Now button in iTunes and wait for the process to complete.
4. Restore your iPad. After the backup is complete, click on the Restore Backup... button in iTunes. When prompted, select "restore from a backup." Follow the instructions to restore the backup you just made.
5. Sync the iPad with the Computer. After the backup is restored to your iPad, click the Sync button in iTunes. This will ensure all the apps, music, etc. is restored to your device.
6. Watch you iPad restart. Disconnect your iPad from the computer and wait for it to restart. In a few minutes, your device will restart, and your apps, settings, and other data (like contacts and music) will be restored.
7. Smile. Your jailbeak is now unbroken and your iPad is back to its original jailed state.

Unless that computer has all your music, you will lose all the music on your iPhone and it will be replaced with their music. So instead, if you just want their music but still keep your music, just drag the music files to your iPhone.

The answer is dependent upon what you intend to use it for.

For example:

The iPad supports Wireless-N technology while the iPhone supports up to Wireless-G.

The iPad supports up to a 64 gig flash drive while the iPhone supports up to 32 gigs.

While this may seem like the iPad is technologically superior, and technically it is, it may simply be a factor that the iPad has more room to put this technology into the space it provides as compared to the iPhone/iPod touch.

But then again maybe it's not, and they're saving this for the next generation of the iPhone. It's impossible to tell with Apple, which is why the rumor mill always churns at full speed with this company due to their secrecy. But to be honest, my iPhone doesn't need to connect at wireless-N speeds. If I needed something with that much speed, I'd own a laptop and a 4G wireless card.

One thing I'd consider an upgrade personally is that there is no proximity sensor in the iPad. I've lost count how many times I've hit the 'home' button on my iPhone only to have it open an icon on my bottom menu because my knuckle was near the screen, without actually touching it.

All in all, if you need a "light computer" go with the iPad, if you MUST select an Apple product. Otherwise, the iPhone/iPod touch should work for you fine.

BUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

On the i pad you cant get on anything flash (no facebook) you cant open or have anything .jpg (most pictures, songs, documents) you cant multitask (having to things open at once, so you have to completely shut off the internet to open a picture) for reading books on the iPad, you have to have PERFECT lighting or the glossy screen will make it nearly impossible. They say the battery lasts up to 10 hours, which would be great if you could buy a replacement battery so that you wouldn't have to wait 12 hours for it to charge! So, the iPad is pretty much just a big iPod touch with less functionality!! NOT worth the money!

Apple products don't support flash because that's Apple's decision. Steve Jobs himself claimed that flash was 'too buggy' and therefore wouldn't support it on an Apple platform, so regardless of what you choose, you won't get flash. You simply get facebook on the iPhone/iPod touch because, pardon the cliche, 'there's an app for that.'

Personally, for the price, I'd just buy a laptop. Why spend 700 bucks for a 64 gig iPad with limited capability when you can buy a full-on Windows 7 laptop like mine for 100 bucks more that supports blu-ray playback, a 17.5" screen, a far larger hard drive, etc?

While I think Apple hit a home run with the iPhone (I LOVE mine, and how many 'iPhone killers' have come and gone?), however, I see the iPad being as big a flop as AppleTV.

It really depends. The iPod Touch is way more convenient if you are constantly on the go or use it in the car, away from home, on airplanes, etc. It also charges faster and is (obviously) less bulky.

The iPad is good for if you want to read, play games while looking at details (doodleBuddy would be fun on an iPad) and have a way easier keyboard. However, it would be really bulky in say the car, would break easily, considering its size and weight bc ppl would drop it. Also if you brought it on an airplane ppl would steal it while you were in the lavatory, basically guaranteed. And it charges way slow and would be hard to play games like DoodleJump and CatchTheEgg on. But Cupcakes! would be fun. ;] so I guess it really depends on your taste and what your gonna use it for.

you guys are all wrong the iPad is better because you can do more things than an iPod touch can. but my friend always says they are technically the same thing because it's like the iPod is a cheaper and miniature iPad. but i choose iPad

The original iPad, just know as the iPad was first, then came the iPad 2. The latest model is known as New iPad. (not iPad 3 or iPad HD or ????).

Get an app to text with. Type in: texts or something like that in the search box.

Some of the apps which are available only allow messages to be sent to other Apple mobile devices with the same app installed. Apple's own messaging service works on this basis. This is obviously a bit restrictive. Skype is good, though not free - texts cost about 6p each.

Go to Settings > General > Usage There you will see a list of all the apps that are using space on you iPad. Just click the game you want to delete, and it will display a large, red DELETE button.

No. The iPad's memory is non-removable, and not accessible by the end-user (without physically tearing the entire device apart, and then ripping it from the logic board).

You can simulate extra memory by using various cloud services (e.g., Dropbox, Box.net, iDrive), but ultimately anything you use will have to be transferred to your local iPad's memory to be worked on or viewed.

You use the volume control buttons located on the right hand side of your iPad.

Connect iPad to computer with USB cable. Open iTunes. Click on iPad on the left hand column. Click on Videos tab on the top. Here you can select videos and import files to view on your iPad. The next time you sync, they will be transferred over.

To get apps you have two options 1 When you first get your iPad and have set it up , it should have some basic apps. One of those basic apps is the app store . Tap on the app store and get started! 2 This will only work if you have a computer . Plug your iPad into your computer and click on iTunes. If you haven't registered your iPad to iTunes you will have to before you buy any apps . After you have registered your iPad , there is a list of different options . Click on iTunes to get started .

It depends on the ipad. Some ipads can take a few hours to fully charge while others only take a hour or so. The manual has the time it should take written in it.

A replacement screen for an iPod Touch can be had for about $80.00. So, it would probably be around twice that, at this time. However, in the future, as more iPads are sold the price will come down. One can only conjecture at this time, as the iPad hasn't been made available for sale yet. The price - in the beginning - will probably run about $150.

Apple is making about a 20% profit on the lower end iPads, which isn't much. Retailers usually double their cost when they sell an item. It's called "keystoning". Apple does this because they make additional profit from iTunes and their partnership with AT&T. I say this, because if you bought all the parts of an iPad, you'd pay more than it's worth. So, trying to build an iPad part-by-part would be much more expensive than buying a complete iPad. This is a good thing, because Apple is keeping the price down - way down.

Other companies do this as well, for example Microsoft takes a loss on every XBox 360 sold, same with the Sony PlayStation 3, because they make their money through subscriptions to their respective online services and through partnerships with game makers (game makers pay a "licensing fee" for every game sold to the makers of the platforms they write the game for. This is why replacing parts or getting a unit that has significant damage repaired often isn't cost effective, because some companies making the hardware sell it at a loss, with no profit, or very little profit.

LCD screens made now days are quite durable, much more durable than older LCD screens. The iPhone and iPod Touch screens (particularly the 2nd and 3rd generations) have proven to be very, very reliable, with very few bad pixels over time. So, the iPad will probably prove to be quite durable as well. However, if the screen does go, it may be wise to weigh the pros and cons of replacing the entire unit. It may be that replacing the entire unit, and selling the broken one on Ebay may prove to be the smarter choice.

One other caveat, often times it isn't the LCD screen, but rather the bulb that provides the illumination that is the problem. Replacing a bulb is far cheaper than replacing an entire LCD screen. I replaced a bulb on a first-generation iPod Touch for $10. I bought it for $10 on Ebay, spent $10 fixing it, and got a perfectly good iPod Touch for $20 (plus $5 for shipping). I've done this with many units and given them to family, friends or sold them to co-workers. Point being, sometimes it's cheaper to fix a unit, and sometimes it's better to buy a new one and enjoy the increased capacity, functionality and fresh longevity of the new product.

Yes, but if you use an iPad running iOS 8.0, you can't use the download feature on Netflix. Because Netflix only supports iPad running iOS 9.0 or later to use download feature. But you can use a convenient tool- NoteBurner Netflix Video Downloader. It helps you download videos to MP4 or MKV, then you can transfer them to any device regardless of whether you are using Windows, Mac or Android, iPhone.

Yes, but only to HP printers using the free HP iPrint app available for free in the App Store.

Update: There are several ways to print from an Apple iOS device now.

AirPrint: Newer Apple devices (including iPod Touch 3rd gen or newer) now come with AirPrint which will allow you to print to any AirPrint-capable printer on your network. HP of course has the most models supported but other vendors like Lexmark, Canon, and Brother, etc., also have certain supported models. No app needed, just hit the action icon on your screen and search for available printers.

Printer App: Each printer manufacturer has its own app. Most will let you print to, some scan from, that manufacturer's printer on your local network. You'll get more functionality and more printer settings using the manufacturer's app than AirPrint but it works similarly. Again here, HP has the most supported models, even most of it's older printers, and the HP ePrint app is the only app that will allow you to print to local printers, print to your ePrint printer when away from home, or will guide you to a nearby hotspot location for printing like FedEx or airport lounges, Walgreens, etc. if you just want to print something out quickly while you're out and about.

Google Cloud Print: If you're wanting to print documents and stuff from the Google Cloud, you can set up your printer as a Google Cloud Printer and use the Print function built into the Google Apps. Some printers are Google Cloud Aware and need nothing more, just register your printer with Google. For most older models you first have to download some software to your PC, which will act as the go-between.

Hold down your finger for 5 seconds on the app icon. When it starts to wiggle, click on the top left corner of the icon where the black X has appeared. For games: Go to Settings > General > Usage There you will see a list of all the apps that are using space on you iPad. Just click the game you want to delete, and it will display a large, red DELETE button.

Yes, though the iPad 3 is one mm thicker than the iPad 2

Yes, iPod headphones will work with an iPad.

There are several Child-Safe Safari-like apps in the App Store.

One is McGruff SafeGuard (in the App Store).

You might remember McGruff - The Crime Dog - Take A Bite Out Of Crime - from your childhood.

There are no electromagnets on the iPad. The permanent magnets are located along the left edge to hold the iPad Smart Cover in place, and a small magnetic switch is located on the right side of the screen to turn the iPad on when the Smart Cover is opened.

Apple had plans for a tablet for the longest time. Eventually, this turned into the iPhone and later on, expanded into the iPad.

The different components of the iPad are noticeable in previous Apple products. In a sense, the iPad was invented in the public.

One aspect the iPad sports is Core Animation. This was released way back in 2007 with the Mac OS. It's almost entirely useless in a notebook or desktop computer, but very valuable in a mobile device.

Another noticeable feature is the unibody and glass design. The largest hardware Apple has that sports a glass screen is the 24" LED Cinema Display. The test of a large glass screen device was underway. The unibody design allows the iPad to not require a fan as well as allows more room internally.

The non-removeable battery in the MacBook Air and the MacBook Pro was very odd. While Apple started with the iPhone, it was still very new, even in the MacBook Air. They finally got it right in the MacBook Pros where some have gotten the battery to last ten hours (more than two removeable batteries).

Lastly, the operating system. The iPad sports an operating system that almost literally mimics Mac OS X in its core. When Snow Leopard was announced, that was the first Mac OS X revision which has not added any new features. The result was a more efficient operating system that was almost half the size of the previous.

To completely turn off an iPad, you should press the on/off button located on top of the device (at the right) for several seconds.

A bar will appear on your iPad's screen with a red slide button.

Slide that button to the other side, now your iPad will shut itself down

To reset the restriction code on an iPad go to the functions screen. From this screen select the reset function. You will be prompted for what you want to reset. At this time select the restriction code. Your restriction code will then be removed.

because it has a especial program that it is set for the factory call bios that set it that way.
