What is the best way to use an iPad while travelling?

Wanderer

I'm going to Europe and have always been a PC user. I now have an iPad and don't want to lug my bulky HP laptop around Europe just to be able to download pictures and videos like I'm used to, so I'm bringing the iPad and leaving the laptop at home. Now I'm having the issue of what apps to download. I use Picasa to edit pictures and Windows moviemaker to edit movies for YouTube. I am wondering what the best options are for picture editing and movie making from an iPad. I have the SD card reader for the iPad so getting the pictures on the iPad isn't an issue. I just have no clue what to use to edit them and how I can still make high-quality videos for YouTube, Facebook, Blogging, etc...

Help?? :)

Answer
First of all, I would get a security (anonymity) app for private browsing and tracking-free iPad security. This is important if you'll be using your iPad on public WiFi connections in Europe:

For video editing on the iPad, I recommend the "Magisto" app. It's availabe on iTunes. For photos and editing, there's:
- Photo Editor by Aviary
- GroupShot
- Panorama 360 Camera
- Photo Soft Box Symbols HD

To create your own travel blog, there are two iPad apps -- TravelPod and Travelog.

iPad security for children - What precautions can I take both for myself and the children?

Trisha M

Also, is there a security app I can install for online security and email privacy?

Answer
Other than having separate email accounts for yourself and your children (if they are old enough to have one), there are a couple things you can do regarding iPad security.

Firstly, if you want to selectively share your iPad itself with your children then use the iPad's "Restrictions" feature to temporarily disable apps that you do not want shared. You can find this under Settings > General > Restrictions, and also set a 4-digit passcode for it. This lets you set restrictions for communications-centric apps like Safari, iTunes, YouTube, Camera, FaceTime and Ping.

Other than app restrictions, you can also have online restrictions in the form of data privacy & Internet encryption. This keeps your IP address anonymous and your children's browsing activities un-trackable by online services.

For this, I use an app called HidePad on my own iPad. It's a great little security application for children and parents alike, specially on a shared iPad.

Is iPad Home Sharing the only way to securely share your iPad with home users, computers or family members?

Maggie

Answer
iPad Home Sharing and family sharing are two different things though they overlap somewhat in function. Home Sharing is an iTunes feature that lets you share your media library with up to 5 computers (called authorized computers) in your house. This can include movies, music, apps and TV shows.

However, if you want to selectively share your iPad itself with other family members (including minors) then you can use the iPad's Restrictions feature to temporarily disable apps that you do not want shared. You can find this under Settings > General > Restrictions, and also set a 4-digit passcode for it. This feature lets you set restrictions for the major apps like Safari, iTunes, YouTube, Camera, Facetime and Ping.

Other than app restrictions, you can also set online restrictions in the form of private browsing. For secure sharing and better online security, install privacy & data security apps like HidePad.

Help deciding - iPad 4 vs. iPad Air?

Contra

Ok, so I have a set budget. I was going to get the 64GB iPad 4 w/ Verizon, but I can't help but feel like it's just not going to be as good as the iPad Air. Is the iPad Air really that much faster than the iPad 4? Is the speed that much different? That's my main concern - speed. I don't want lagging or freezing or anything like that and I just want to know are they really THAT much different when it comes to it?

My 2nd concern is that if I do get the iPad Air, I can only afford the 32GB w/ cellular. I'm not quite sure if that's enough space either. I don't have many songs to put on there. My iPhone is a 16GB but it's completely full. I can't ever download anything else, even when I delete an app or 2 - it's not enough space for new things. I have 6 songs, about 1,000 pictures (the pictures alone take up 3.7GB) and about 88 apps including the ones that come pre-loaded (App Store, Camera, etc.). I'll want to put MOST but not all of those apps on my iPad - I don't really need a lot of music, I have Pandora & Spotify, and I want to watch TV but not download movies/shows, just use apps like HBO Go and Hulu to stream. I like to take pictures, but not sure I'll be using it as much as my iPhone for that.

Can someone help me decide? Is the iPad Air worth getting or should I stick to the last model with more space?

Also, when getting a cellular model, do I have the option of never activating it unless I need to? I read Verizon has daily plans - how do those work exactly? If I went somewhere that didn't have wifi could I just pay for a daily plan and use it for that day/until the MB were used up? Or do I have to have an actual cell plan/contract with them to use the cellular network period?

Thank you for your help!

Answer
While iPad Air is definitely faster and supports newer hardware, there's no reason not to get the iPad 4 because that's a prety good tablet in its own right. It was released in 2012, which isn't that old. The hardware is appreciably fast enough for movies, music and apps without freezing (I know because I have this model)

Also, if you plan to use WiFi more than cellular then simply get the WiFi model. I reckon if you go for a cellular + WiFi model then the data plans would be factored in and charged too, on a monthly basis (i.e., there would be a contract involved).

Coming back to ipad 4 vs iPad Air, if your budget is good enough for the 64 GB iPad 4 then go for it. Given your storage requirements, a 64 GB iPad 4 makes far better overall sense than compromising with a 32 GB iPad Air.

Besides, iPad 4 also supports the latest iOS 7, so it should be a good choice for you, for the next couple of years.

can i use an ipad has a security camera dvr?

best security camera ipad app image

Kevin

i have three remote cameras [security type] on my airplane. i would like to record using an ipad, rather than buying a separate dvr. it this possible?

Answer
Yes, iPad has a security cam app with which you can turn it into a surveillance or monitoring. But the key is not just apps but how you set the whole thing up so that it monitors and records everything seamlessly -- be it in your home or outside. Here are two sites that should give you details into how this can be done (using your iPad on its own or with a cell phone -- including iPhone -- or web cam)

Are macbook pro and iPad the same thing or is there a difference?

Noura

I really want to get an iPad but i already have a macbook,, will the iPad be useful to me or is it unnecessary since i have a macbook?

Answer
iPad is not intended to replace computer in anyway.it's however does a lot of things which a computer does and surprisingly it does better and faster.

But if your work are very complicated like professional video editing, creating a complex PowerPoint presentation,storing heavy data,using as server,running software and different plug Ins, then iPad won't be a right choice.


There is another side of it


If your works are not very complicated and you only create simple to medium level word document, complicated but not overly complicated spreadsheet and gorgeous PowerPoint presentation ,then iPad is better than any computer hands down.


iPad also comes handy if you understand cloud or WebDAV server storage because the time , computer takes to boot ,is enough for an iPad to upload the documents to all the WebDAV server and make them available to every computer in the world with great security.

If you use iPad heavily like me then battery lasts for approx 15 hours which is incredible. It's so light weight that I take it everywhere.
In my case, it has replaced my MacBook pro. I don't carry my laptop anymore. If my work is so complicated I access my home comp which is iMac or my office computer (IBM) from iPad.

But iPad is good enough for my everyday work like word document,spreadsheet and PowerPoint presentation.

On computer, you do everything through browser, on iPad everything is done through apps. That's the difference.

For example :

If you wanna download a video on computer, you would go to website and download it.

On iPad , install an app like GoodReader , then keep downloading any video you want.


But one negative, PC downloads viruses,spywares,adwares with the video for FREE but iPad won't download them, it downloads only the content you want.

Another minus point is,

When you watch movie online on a windows based PC, you get lot of pop ups and add banners, but on iPad , you just watch movie without any free pop ups.

Lot of people are crying over lack of flash support. But for me lack of flash support is the only reason why I love iPad because I hate flash based pop pad and add banners. I love watching movie on iPad online it's so amazing that you feel you are watching a DVD.

If by any chance you like reading and gaming then it's a blessing. I was never a reader but now I love reading books.iPad has made me organized and insanely fast.
On many occasion, I used to think ok , I will do it when I start the computer and sometimes I used to forget things. Now iPad takes care of every activities.
I connect my SLR camera directly to iPad and imports not only photos but also HD video and edit right on it and of course upload to many sites at high resolution.

So get the iPad ...it's spectacular, it's amazing , it's revolutionary.

How to use a webcam as a security camera to view on your ipad and iphone?

Sofrito

Hi,
I would like to know if there is a way that I can use a webcam and whats a good app that i can view the video on my iphone or ipad. I have a Mac. Thank you :-)

Answer
Download and install a remote-viewing program on the iMac. The LogMeIn Ignition program is one suitable option (see Resources). Launch the remote-viewing program by double-clicking its icon inside of the "Applications" folder that is inside the main hard drive.

Go to the remote-viewing program's website. Click on the "Registration" button. Fill in the required registration information in the appropriate text fields. Enter a user name and password in the appropriate text fields. Press the "Register" button to complete the registration process. Quit the Web browser.

Click once on the remote viewing program's window to make it active. Select "Registration" from the "File" drop-down menu. Enter the user name and password you had created at the Web page earlier into the text fields of the window that appears. Press the "OK" button to exit the window.


Click the "Sleep/Wake" button at the top of the Apple device, for example, an iPad, that will view the iMac's camera remotely. Swipe the slider on the screen to go to the Home menu. Tap the "App Store" icon to launch the program.

Tap the "Search" icon to bring up a text field. Enter the name of the remote viewing program that is installed on the iMac in the text field using the onscreen keyboard. Tap the remote viewing program's name when it appears in a column beneath the text field.

What is the best tablet to get under £200?

best security camera ipad app image

thomas

I heard the nexus 7 was good but is the kindle better???????????????????

Answer
Google Nexus 7:

Manufactured by Asus to Google's specifications, the Nexus 7 ushers in a new era of affordable, quality Android tablets.
Packing a Tegra 3 quad-core processor, 12 core GPU, 8GB and 16GB internal storage and 7-inch 1280 x 800 screen, the Nexus 7 certainly has the skills to pay the bills, but at a highly attractive price point.
Laughing in the face of its closest rival, the Amazon Kindle Fire, it looks like Google has got the budget end of the tablet market all wrapped up. Until the Kindle Fire 2 and iPad Mini come to the fore, at least.
It's now been shoved up in capacity without a jump in price; this means you can get 16GB of storage for £159 and £199 for the full 32GB version - plus we're getting a 3G version too.


Google Nexus 10: a bit above your budget but sick tablet

The 10.1 display is one of the biggest talking points on the Google Nexus 10. At 300 pixels per inch it's the highest resolution tablet display on the planet - take that, Apple and your Retina displays.
It's a great performer too. Other than taking a while to process panoramic photos we never felt like it was struggling to keep up. It's fast and smooth whatever you throw at it.
Sure it may not be as stunning to look at, or as well built as an iPad, and the lack of expandable memory will irk some, but overall the Nexus 10 gives you a quality, big-screen Android experience which is not to be sniffed at.
On top of that, the tablet has already been updated to Android 4.2.1, which brings back the month of December in some calendar apps (well done, Google) and adds support for some security issues too, showing this is the tablet to buy if you want a larger screen that Google won't give up on.


Amazon Kindle fire HD

What's better than a modern tablet with a quad core processor? One that costs just £159. That's right: the power of the Kindle brand has mated with an HD screen and won't charge you the earth to own it.
Coming in at 16GB and 32GB flavours, the Kindle Fire HD is sure to be a big hit, bringing the simplicity of the e-book range to the tablet arena, with dedicated space to access your movies, games, apps and music too. A recent update has added a camera app for the front-facing camera and Swype support, so there are even more (admittedly tiny) reasons to shell out.
It's a little simplistic for some, but for others it's the perfect mix of curated content and easy to use interface - and despite the price, it's got a decent build quality too.

Toshiba AT200
The AT200 is extremely thin, clocking in at a super slender 7.7mm thin, which means you can slide it into your bag without issue - and at 535g, you probably won't notice it's in there.
You get a 10.1-inch 1280 x 800 TFT display, 1.2GHz dual-core processor, 1GB of RAM, 5MP rear camera, 2MP front camera and a decent array of ports including microSD, USB and HDMI.
Toshiba has also dropped the price of the AT200 just a few months after launch to keep it competitive in the market, but it's exclusively at Carphone Warehouse in the UK for the time being.

Why are fewer people using Iphones now?

TOOTAl2

Seems like everyone has a samsung phone now. few years ago everyone i know had a iphone now only 2 people i know have them.

Answer
Fewer? Not so. The iPhone 5 is the best selling smartphone today. Many of my friends & relatives have converted from Androids & BlackBerrys to iPhones & loving it.

---

@O: Because Androids are eating Apple's lunch. The Galaxy S3 in particular took the iPhone's crown as the best of 2012, the King of Smartphones, and best-selling smartphone.
Uh no. The iPhone 5 was the best selling phone in the last quarter of 2012. Hell even the iPhone 4S outsold the Galaxy S III, just like back in the day when the iPhone 4 outsold the Galaxy S II & the 4S was the best selling phone. The iPhone 5 is still the best selling phone today.


iPhones are simple devices and not very versatile. You do need to be more tech-savvy with Androids but once you master them the sky is the limit.
Uh not really. iOS is easier to use & more versatile. Essentially the same OS for the iPod touch, iPad, iPad mini, iPhone which is used in many avenues, & more than their traditional use/means.


The best feeling is when I put my Samsung Galaxy S3 on the table and my iPhone-toting friends hide their iPhones. They haven't won a single challenge so far.
Well as I said, it won best selling, better made, better OS, better camera, better battery life, better virtual assistant, better security, better performing, better app selection, better media selection, etc.


The S4, on sale in April, will once and for all bring the iPhone to its knees (as if the S3 didn't already).
Again not really. Sure the S4 would sell well, mostly based on its gimmicky features (the launch presentation definitely would not have helped that cause) but eventually the next iPhone will come & reduce the GS4 as the 3rd option, behind that iPhone & the iPhone 5, much like what has happened in the last 2 years.

4 iPods

And we have a lot of kids around the house. A lot of stuff that needs watch in case were out of the house. I don't really want to invest in a security system we i know all these iproducts are just as good as ip cameras

Does anyone know an app or a tweak I can use to monitor all of these ip cameras in my apple devices on one ipad?
Ideally with motion senior that runs in the background doesn't require a computer to view images (ipad/iPod/iPhone to ipad), takes video, audio and pictures (optional)

ipad 4 vs nexus 7 vs samsung notebook 10:1 - which one is better pls?

Tubetruth

Answer
This is generally a matter of preference. Actual specs like CPU speed don't mean a whole lot when you compare two totally different operating systems like iOS and Android, but I'll give them to you anyway. And if you're talking about some Samsung laptop, you shouldn't be comparing it to a tablet. Laptops are definitely a better tool, and can go far more in-depth with just about everything from programs (MS Office, Adobe Programs, etc.) and OS to hardware functionality (like having a CD drive and USB ports). First choose between "Laptop and Tablet" before you start choosing between tablets.

###QUICK SUMMARY###

iPad 4 has a smooth, reliable (but limited) software/functionality. It has two cameras (rear and front-facing) and an incredibly rich, beyond-HD display that more than triples the resolution of the Nexus. On the other hand, the Nexus 7 has a better CPU and GPU. The OS is incredibly open for you to use and adjust how you see fit, which could cause problems like lag, glitches, and (in extreme cases) crashing later on for anyone who doesn't know what they're doing. Put simply the iPad is definitely more of a "toy" than the Nexus, being visually more appealing and having a larger game library on the App Store than Google Play. However, the Nexus would be a much better asset as far as productivity and all-around usefulness goes- it's also cheaper in almost every conceivable way.

###EXTREMELY DETAILED PRODUCT INFORMATION###

***iPad 4 by Apple***
Operating System: iOS 6.0.1 (also by Apple)
CPU: 1.4GHz Dual-CoreCPU (Central Processing Unit)
GPU: Quad-core PowerVR SGX554MP4
RAM: 1GB (Probably DDR3L, not sure though)
Display: 9.7in (2,048x1,536)
Rear-facing camera: 5MP Photos/1080p Full HD Video
Front-facing camera: 1.2MP Photos/720p HD Video

iPad's and anything else running iOS are incredibly secure. This makes them almost impossible to REALLY fuck up (unless you throw the thing against a wall or something). On the software end, you're incredibly limited to Apple's yellow-brick-road. If you're perfectly content with the way the system is and have no real desire to change any major features or functions, go with the iPad. Also, if you're completely technologically illiterate but still want something that can do all the things a tablet can do, go with the iPad. They're fast, smooth, and reliable specifically because Apple made it almost impossible to screw around with. Some Android tablets easily out-perform the iPad right out of the box. However (unless you really know what you're doing with Android OS), in a matter of months the Android will have slowed down and started to develop bugs and glitches while the iPad will still be going strong after a year.

***Nexus 7 by ASUS***
OS: Android 4.2.1 "Jellybean" (by Google)
CPU: 1.3GHz Quad-core Cortex-A9
GPU: NVIDIA 12-core 416MHz GeForce ULP
RAM: 1GB DDR3L
Display: 1280x800
Rear-facing camera: None
Front-facing camera: 1.2MP Photos/720p HD Video

"As a Google Nexus device, the Nexus 7 offers a "pure Android" experience, as it features the stock Android operating system, free of manufacturer or wireless carrier modifications..." -Wikipedia

Android OS is a Linux-based operating system that is (just like Linux) completely open-source. This means (if you know how) you can do just about anything you can imagine with your Android device. Granted, the manufacturing companies (in this case, ASUS and Google) still add their little security measures to prevent any completely clueless Android users from totally screwing up their devices in a matter of hours. However, these are easily bypassed with a process called "Rooting" (MEANT FOR ADVANCED USERS ONLY). The Nexus 7 is particularly open to adjustment. Rooting it is almost effortless, customizing it is easy... it's the ultimate techno-geek's plaything. That being said, because it's SO easy to change and customize, that also means it's incredibly easy to screw up. So if you're a pretty technologically adept person and love customizing technology how you see fit, the Nexus 7 would be perfect for you.

Choice is yours, and I'm sorry this ended up being like 30x longer than I expected.
I was bored and know this topic very, very well... lol
