    Ipad 3 case that works similarly to original Apple Case

    I used this case with my iPad 2 and it also fits the 3. It is also sold under the Yoobao brand name on Amazon. The typing angle is a bit steeper than the original Apple case, but has stood up well to a year of use. Amazon.com: Pyrus Electronics (TM) Genuine Leather Case for iPad 2 (latest...

    lost everything on ipad2 while downloading iOS5

    Hi Kjweede - as long as you have backed up with iTunes, you have a VERY good chance of recovering most, and likely ALL of your info. I had a similar situation and here's what I did to the best of my recollection. It may or may not work in your situation, but it may be worth a try: 1. If the...

    Ipad 2 won't restore!

    Looks like it may be a defective unit according to this thread on the Apple support forums regarding error 9 and 28: https://discussions.apple.com/message/13204626?messageID=13204626 Or, you can try this for error 14: Fix for ‘Error 14′ during iPad Update Hope this is helpful.

    Rundown on Leather Cases for iPad

    I waited to order until the description on Amazon was updated just last Friday (4/22) to reflect the new version. Prior to placing the order, I confirmed with the seller via e-mail that it indeed was the new version that was now being shipped (very prompt an courteous response, by the way)...

    Rundown on Leather Cases for iPad

    i just received the new version of the black case. All new orders from Amazon should receive this version. Initial thoughts/observations are as follows: - Odor intensity is approximate to that of a new pair of shoes. Nothing overbearing. - Sleep/wake function works just fine and does not...

    Yes, when you connect to iTunes, select your iPad from the list of devices on the left, click on the "Check for Update" button, and you will get a message saying that there is an update available. iTunes: Backing up, updating, and restoring your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch software

    Verizon iPad 2 3G Connectivity Bug

    Issue Appears to Be Fixed in iOS 4.3.2 Just updated to 4.3.2 and it appears that the issue has been fixed. I can now turn Verizon service off, restart or reboot the iPad, and be able to turn Verizon service on again without a reboot.

    It looks like the issue is widespread enough that it is starting to get reported on sites like TiPb: iPad 2 having problems connecting to Verizon 3G? | TiPb ipad 2 verizon issue - Yahoo! Search Results Hopefully we'll see a fix in the iOS 4.3.2 in the next week or so.

    imovie on ipad2 can ONLY edit ipad videos

    Thanks, Zwiller! The instructions were well written and easy to follow. I was even able to import a 4:3 video into iMovie with the proper aspect ratio by substituting the following settings for step 7 (Resize Tab): Custom size: 960x720 Aspect Ratio: 4x3

    Anyone elses smart cover rubbing like this?

    Same problem here. I'm using my smart cover folded into the typng stand with the poly (instead of the microfiber) on the outside. Don't know if that's a factor.

    Verizon iPad 2 3G Connectivity Bug

    Got it. Thanks again, Captfx. Looks like you may have the bug on yours too, and since this is your first iPad, this issue is probably not related to restoring from an iPad with AT&T service. IIRC, my iPad 2 behaved the same as yours before I signed up for the Verizon service.

    Verizon iPad 2 3G Connectivity Bug

    Hi Captfx - thanks for the quick reply. You just described the workaround for the bug. You should be able to have Cellular Data in the off position when you power off and still be able to turn the Verizon service on. Would you be able to try one more thing? What happens if you power off...

    Verizon iPad 2 3G Connectivity Bug

    Thanks captx and lferrel. Unfortunately for me the on/off cellular switch only works if Cellular Data was on when my iPad was previously shut off or rebooted (in which case I caturn it on/off as many times as I want to - even after locking it). However, if I forget to turn Cellular Data on...

    Just got HDMI video out adapter

    Here's a $300 adapter that would seem do the trick (although I haven't tried it myself): VGA2USB | Frame grabbers | Products | Epiphan Systems Also, depending upon what the nature of your tutorials are, you could take screen captures on the iPad, import them into iMovie, and do a voice-over as...

    Video settings

    I used the iPod (not a typo) preset in Handbrake and set the width to 640. The height was left blank to preserve the aspect ratio. File size for an average length (1:45-2:00) 16:9 or 2.4:1 aspect movie is typically around 600-750MB. To me the quality on the iPad screen is very good, the...

    Verizon iPad 2 3G Connectivity Bug

    Thanks for the reply. By "working well" do you mean that if you turn off of reboot your iPad with the Cellular Data switch in the off position, when the iPad comes back up, you can turn your cellular data on and it will work without a second reboot/restart?

    Verizon iPad 2 3G Connectivity Bug

    Hi all and glad that the info was helpful. Unfortunately, yesterday's iOS 4.3.1 update did not resolve the issue for me. I tried reprovisioning (while connected to VZ and while disconnected) to no avail. Here's a link to a thread on the Apple site...

    Protect the back but still use Apple cover

    Thanks for the idea, Max. At a minimum, this is a great interim solution to use with my smart cover until I can find a suitable slim folio case. I just wound up cutting a rectangle to fit below the black plastic of the 3G antenna, to just above the speaker. In a couple of minutes I have...

    Verizon iPad 2 3G Connectivity Bug

    It looks like there is a bug in the Verizon version of the iPad 2, where the cellular radio will not turn on if the system was previously powered off or reset with the Cellular Data switch in the off position. In order to start the radio, you need to set the Cellular Data switch to the "on"...

    Ipad 2 HDMI cable??

    Here's a link: Apple Digital AV Adapter - Apple Store (U.S.) Also, while I'm a big fan of Monoprice.com for inexpensive, quality HDMI (and other) cables, the small size of the Apple-branded 1.8 meter HDMI cable was perfect for portability and to carry along with my projector. It's a bit...

    What's your experience with the VGA adapter?

    Hi Paulkalman and welcome to the forums. Which version of the iPad do you have? The original iPad (non-jailbroken) required that an application be coded to allow for VGA out. All of the apps I tried on the iPad 2 have worked properly and as expected with mirroring.

    What's your experience with the VGA adapter?

    Just tried it with my LCD TV. Yes, screen mirroring works with the iPad 2. No special settings, just plugged it in. Screen rotation works as well. If an app has special controls for an external display (e.g. Keynote or the built-in Video apps), they will override the mirroring so you can...

    Am I the only one not THRILLED with the new cover? (Case)

    According to TUAW, it looks like Targus iPad 2 cases are expected to be available at Best Buy today. Nothing on the BB website yet, but if in stock, i will definitely get one of these folio cases instead of the smart cover. http://www.tuaw.com/2011/03/11/ipad-2-case-and-stand-roundup/#continued

    Am I the only one not THRILLED with the new cover? (Case)

    You are not alone. To me, the case makes or breaks the usability of a tablet and the Apple case for the v1 iPad was perfect for my needs. It turned the iPad from a device I had to baby and worry about to a functional tool for business, home and sharing content. Aside from protecting the...

    best note taking app for ipad 2

    Thanks for the kind words, Tim. I would think that many of us have been pleasantly surprised at the effectiveness of taking notes on an iPad, and have found an app or two upon which we rely. A stylus and a good handwriting app have certainly changed the way I work for the better. Prior to...

    best note taking app for ipad 2

    I'd recommend starting out with the Notes app that is built-in to iOS and determining what other functionality (if any) you would like - as well as if you can effectively use the on-screen keyboard. While Notes Plus and Note Taker apps mentioned have a ton of functionality, they are, at their...

    Best note taking app for iPad

    I've found the Notability app interesting as an outlining tool for typed notes, although for handwritten notes it's kind of a pain to have to insert a text box each time you want to write something on a different area of the page. As for handwriting apps, I'm disappointed in the flashing and...

    Best note taking app for iPad

    Thanks for taking time to reply, Jrooney. I picked up Notes Plus in a recent sale, and it seems to have the page management functionality I'd like, although the close-up and zoom handwriting is jerky and flashes (especially in landscape mode) which is very distracting to me. Also, I can't seem...

    Does Penultimate Support Stylus? What stylus are you using?

    +1 on the Boxwave. I have the iPad case and the clip on the stylus slides securely on the hinge so it's easy to always have the stylus available.

    Best note taking app for iPad

    Has anyone else tried UPAD? There is a free "UPAD lite" app where you can check it out before buying. IMHO, the inking in UPAD rivals Penultimate, and you can markup/highlight PDFs and images as well. The biggest downfall to me is that other than being able to add a new page anywhere within a...
