    IMovie on iPad

    The camera connection kit works fine with Apple video devices. You can plug an iPhone 4 directly into the kit and the iPad and download movies to iMovie easily. Some versions of the Flip camera download the same way. It's the video format that isn't compatible with your iPad. You can...

    Ipad 2 now? Or 3 later?

    For some strange reason, when I was looking to sell my original iPad quickly online (Gazelle.com), I watched the pricing rise for my model until one week before the new iPad started shipping. That's when the price actually peaked. I sold mine at that time and watched the prices fall again...

    Mine was replaced well after 14 days with a brand new ipad2 that works perfectly. Where did you hear that your 3 iPads were remanufactured?

    The Official I have returned my ipad 2

    Do you have an Apple Store in your town? Don't mess with other retailers, you can take a new iPad to any Apple Store. If you can demonstrate the problem they will replace the iPad. I had a problem that wasn't even covered under warranty (the iPad fell on the floor, shattering the screen)...

    Cracked the ipad screen, got a free replacement from the apple store

    The cat pushed my iPad2 off a counter and onto a tile floor. The case was folded behind the iPad when it fell, and of course it hit the floor screen side down. It was shattered, so was I. I went to my local Apple Store and they gave me a new one on the spot. No wonder Apple has so many fans!

    I will be annoyed if the iPad 3 is released this September.

    oh...that topic... :) I don't see any way that Apple would refresh the iPad in September. That will be the timeframe that the new iPhone5 will be shipping, and iOS 5 will launch. Apple likes to spread out their launches of major device. And, it's been widely noted that the iPad2 was built...

    I will be annoyed if the iPad 3 is released this September.

    The tablet market is almost non-existent?? Global shipments of tablets are expected to top 60 million in 2011 alone. 40 million are expected to be iPads, a 60% share of the market. Right now now Apple owns 82% of the tablet market. Tablets are stealing market share from the netbook sector...

    Ipad 2 4.3.3 terrible battery life

    I don't track the actual hours, but I use mine on and off all day (9am - 11pm) for browsing, email, and creating Keynote decks, etc. When I plug the iPad in to the charger in the late evening I still have around 45% battery left.

    How do I increase the Volume?

    Jambox is fantastic. I use it every day, big sound, tiny size. The rechargeable battery lasts longer than the iPad.

    imovie on ipad2 can ONLY edit ipad videos

    Not necessarily. The iPhone has a higher resolution sensor. And there are iPhone apps that give complete manual control over white balance, focus, and exposure which keep the image settings from floating around during shooting. The Flip is all automatic.

    The Official I have returned my ipad 2

    iOS5 is only in beta testing right now, as stated, it won't be officially released for a few months (fall). For those waiting for the iPad 3 because they don't like iTunes, this will be a much more immediate solution.

    The Official I have returned my ipad 2

    Many of your issues will be solved in a few months. With iCloud you will not need a PC or Mac or iTunes to manage pictures or music, it will all be wireless, automatic, and mostly free. The camera connection kit lets you use many USB devices from pro microphones, to card readers, to keyboards...

    The Official I have returned my ipad 2

    Not to worry. Millions of users have upgraded to 4.3.3 and as you said, there are no specific threads about issues. I've been using 4.3.3 since it launched and find it more stable than the previous version. I havn't had a crash yet with any of my memory intensive apps.

    AT&T: 250Mb Sure Goes Fast!

    I'm not sure about smartphone plans, but when I sold my ATT iPad 1 (which had the unlimited plan) I could have rolled it over to my iPad 2. But because of the horrible local ATT coverage I went with Verizon and the 1GB $20 data plan. It turns out that 1GB is all I need, and I'm saving money...

    Belkin transparent rear cover ...

    I've had several clear back covers. If you want quality, spend $25 and buy the best, be done with it. The SwitchEasy CoverBuddy is a class act. I haven't even been able to scratch it from the many surfaces it has rested on. It covers more of the iPad than the other clear covers, fits...

    ipad 2's Smart Cover burn-like stain on the magnet

    That's definitely a defective cover, get them to exchange or refund. I keep the Smart Cover on my iPad as it charges all night (usually 10 hrs. per night) and I have no sign of bleeding or burning.

    ipad 2's Smart Cover burn-like stain on the magnet

    I spent the same amount and have had none of those issues with my 2 ipad2s or the smart cover. So take yours back for exchange soon. You shouldn't have to put up with defective gear. Good luck!

    Not sure about getting ipad 2 now

    Yet in your case they did give you the option to replace your iPad, no? They gave you a refund and now you can buy another one. But in the majority of all cases I've read about, Apple has gladly replaced the faulty units. And, Apple has a clear official policy to deal with the issue which...

    Good news

    Variations in backlight bleeding occur in even the most expensive LCD displays. My $2,000 30" display has a touch of it on the left side if I look for it really hard, friends who have different pro displays have some of it in varying degrees. Having said that, I'm impressed that the two...

    Not sure about getting ipad 2 now

    They were great. They said that the warranty didn't cover dropping the iPad onto a tile floor and shattering the screen. But they went ahead and replaced it with a brand new one for free, same model and carrier. They said they would only do this one time.

    Not sure about getting ipad 2 now

    I've had 2 ipad2s (dropped my first one) and the screens were perfect on both. Apple keeps completely different stock on hand for replacement iPads. My replacement was in a simplified brown Apple box and had none of the accessories included. It took all of 5 minutes to walk out with the shiny...

    The official ipad2 smart cover

    Those lineas are the oils from your fingers that were already there. The microfiber on the inside of the cover soaked them up everywhere but where it doesn't actually touch the screen, in the fold recesses. Those you'll need to wipe off those remaining area with a microfiber cloth.

    The official ipad2 smart cover

    For typing angles you can fold either side out and it will be stable. For stand up position you can only fold the microfiber side out or it won't be stable.

    2 month old ipad 2 charger drops dead for no reason

    I've never found Apple tech support to be sneaky. They will simply give you a new charger no questions asked. They gave me a free replacement when I dropped my ipad2 a shattered the screen. I'm sure they will take care if you.

    Scratched screen...replacement cost?

    That is such the opposite of my iPad experience it makes me wonder if there's a variation in the screen coating on different iPads. My iPad gets very aggressive swipping due to the various playable instruments in GarageBand and the screen stays in perfect condition. Maybe you have more dust in...

    Scratched screen...replacement cost?

    I've had 3 (naked) iPads and have never had any scratches. I use a thick microfiber cloth, rub gently, and never use liquids. A good microfiber cleaning cloth will suck up fingerprints with very little pressure.

    Smart cover "cleaning" abilities

    Only use a thick microfiber cleaning cloth to screen the screen. The cloth seems to absorb the oil with very light rubbing. Just gently swipe off any large grit or dirt before rubbing the screen. This is how I cleaned my original iPad for almost a year (3 or 4 times a day) and the screen...

    That level of customer service is exactly why Apple is so successful. You get what you pay for IMO.

    Scratched screen...replacement cost?

    I don't have any insurance. I don't even have AppleCare. They replaced my $829 iPad2 even though I told them it had fallen on a tile floor, screen side down. That's excellent customer service.

    Was it an iPad 2? My iPad's screen was shattered yesterday. The Apple Store gave me a new iPad. Don't they do that in the UK?
