Q. I am having a problem with my ipad, when i try raising the volume or lowering it nothing seems to pop up, but when i put on my headphones the sound works, when i take them off the sound turns off. i tried going into the setting of the ipad but nothing seems to work. can someone please help me fix this problem? please 10 points right away for the answer that works!
A. There are two volume setting on the iPad.
When you plug headphones into the iPad it activates the headset volume.
When you take the headset out it activates the iPad volume. The volume for both is controlled by the control on the top right of the iPad. You should see on screen when you use this control which volume is being changed.
There may be two solutions:
1) When you unplug the headphones, the iPad does not recognise that the headphones have been disconnected. Chech that the headphone socket is clear of debris, try blowing in the socket, also try plugginn in and unplugging the headphone socket.
2) The other oiption is that you have set your iPad to use airplay. In the iPod app at the top you may see a little rectangle that looks a bit loke an envelope. If this is visible tap on it and ensure that Airplay is set to play on your iPad.
Hope this helps.
iPad vs. MacBook Air?
Q. I am taking a math class online for college and my parents are generously considering buying me a laptop. I was looking at the MacBook Air and it seems like a great laptop for carrying around campus and for taking online classes. However, the price is a little steep. Would a iPad be just as useful and convenient? The price is a little better but my concern is not being able to type as easily. What is your suggestion? Is there another kind of laptop I should be considering?
A. The iPad is not a laptop replacement. It may work for some note taking, but it's not a computer and you'll need a laptop anyway. Congratulations on your choice of a Mac, but consider a 13" Macbook Pro rather than a Macbook Air. The Air lacks an optical drive and has a small solid state drive (SSD). The Macbook Pro at the same price point has a hard disk drive (HDD) that is twice the size of the same priced Air with SSD. The 13" Macbook Pro is $100 less than the 13" Macbook Air and weighs just a pound and a half more. The HDD is twice the size of the Air's SSD, and the Pro's Core2 Duo processor is twice the clock speed of the Air's Core2 Duo. The Pro also has twice the RAM of the Air.
The Air is a great second laptop for a business traveller. It isn't a computer for a student. The extra pound and a half you won't notice. The missing speed and storage you will. The iPad is for content consumption, like movies, magazines and books--not for a student unless it's in addition to a laptop. As a laptop replacement it's not a contender.
BTW, my 13" Macbook Pro fits easily into the same kind of envelope that the old Macbook Air commercials showed the Air being pulled from! It's barely bigger.
Help with Mail on iPad mini?
Q. I just got a new iPad mini and synced it with my other apple device. I'm trying to go into Mail and when i click into iCloud and put in my email it just comes up, "-my email- is already added"!! Any help? A.S.A.P!!
A. Not sure what you mean by 'click into iCloud', but if it tells you it was already added, look for an app that looks like an envelope. That is the Apple email app. Your email acct should be there.
If that does not show your email acct then go to the Settings app, then "Mail, Calendars, Contacts", and click on "Add account". Answer the questions and at the end it will test connect to your email, showing that you did it properly.
