Ipad: Help an elder, please. How to SAVE an mp3 music file on an older ipad?

A dear friend/superb musician/singer/songwriter recently passed away, a great loss. An mp3 music file was sent (as an email attachment); want to save on ipad. For the life of me, cannot seem to pull up “iTunes” on my ipad. (It seems itunes is ‘no more’?)

No, do not have access to a Mac or PC computer. Only have ipad. Is there any way that I can preserve for posterity this mp3 file on ipad, please? (This was all so simple and straightforward back a decade or so ago on macbook! 🙆‍♀️ Alas, macbook died also. 😓) Any clear, simple help appreciated muchly.

What’s better? iPad 2nd gen or the newest iPad Air?

Posted a bit ago about iPad pros vs airs but now I’m curious about how much better the iPad Air newest model would be compared to the 2nd gen iPad Pro.

I just have a 2nd gen iPad Pro right now and really just want to make sure I have something a little faster than that, and still good display

Thoughts?

iPad Air exterior body colour change

Hi everyone,

I already own the midnight colour of the macbook air and recently got the ipad air to complete my set, but the closest colour they had was space grey. I really would like to change it to something close to the midnight colour of the macbook for matching-sake.

is it possible to change the colour by some third party company or even ipad skins that give the appearance of matching?

just my raging OCD wanting me to inquire :)

thanks all

Best iPad for just watching movies traveling?

I travel maybe 5x a year and just wanted one for watching movies on the flight. Which iPad would be best for this? Kind of hesitant for the 10 because it seems like it’s about to be refreshed?

ProMotion: iPad Air 5th Gen/M2 versus iPad Pro Gen 2/3?

Hi all,

About to get my first iPad and I can't decide how badly I want ProMotion/120hz. Let's say I want to keep my cost around $400-600 so I can't get the new iPad Pro - is it worth going back in time and getting an old iPad Pro just to get ProMotion? Or should I just get a current state iPad Air?

I recently bought the iPhone 16 Pro so I am not sure if I'm able to go back to 60hz.

Any insight would be great, thank you!

Can You Restore to Factory Settings a Disabled Ipad Found Two Months Ago?

I had found an ipad in a shopping cart over two months ago. I had did the proper thing of waiting about a week for the owner to contact the ipad with the "Find My" to no avail.

Had posted signs outside of the business indicating I found an ipad in said parking lot of mentioned shopping cart; no response. Finally I turned in the ipad into the local police department.

After about two months, the police department called me that no one had claimed the ipad and was mine to come and pick up. With this being said, I went and picked it up.

Upon receiving the ipad it was still powered on (I assume the police thought the same that the "Find My" could be activated and owner find it) and the notifications on the screen were lit up to the max, one in particular that caught my eye, was that "all the information from this ipad was transferred to another new device".

So, my questions are of what the rest of world asks.

Can this ipad be restored on my own since not knowing the original passcode? There are nine attempts left before it completely becomes disabled, so do I go through this process first, then try to restore factory fresh on my itunes account?

Any options? other than a nice Blue colored coaster on the table to set my drinks on? Thank you anyone for all information provided .

Jelly Roll is real in A17 Pro

For anyone wondering if the jelly roll is noticeable, yes it’s very noticeable. Is it a deal breaker? Not for me but it is annoying for a $500 device. My suggestion would be to go into a best buy or Apple Store and play with a mini and web browsing before you decide if this is for you. I’m disappointed the lag exists in a flagship mini device from apple. Guess we need to wait for a pro mini with a m5 and an extra $200-500.

“Edit: I meant Scroll, Reddit won’t let me edit the title” But yeah the screen tearing when scrolling down, it’s annoying.

How important is 16gb ram for an iPad Pro?

About to pull the trigger on an iPad pro, but really don't need more than 512gb storage. I read that if you get 1tb, then they also double the memory to 16gb though.

How important is that extra memory now? I know Apple just made 16gb the base memory for all their laptops. Will the iPad Pro with only 8gb memory have issues with whatever Apple is planning for the next few years?

Bought a refurbished Air 5th gen

Seems fine so far… no scratches or dents, only thing is I can’t see battery health (would like the confirmation it’s 100%) but doesn’t show it.

If everything seems to work fine should I assume I’m in the clear?

Got it for $399 vs $299 for an iPad 10th gen — weighing between the two and feels like I have to go with the Air just because $100 is small for the difference right?

NuFix iPad mini 4 battery replacement

Found my old iPad mini 4, years after the battery died. I ordered the NuFix battery replacement kit off of Amazon and did the replacement without a problem. I know it’s not the best battery, but I was hoping it would be enough to get it working and backed-up.

It’s been plugged in all day now, but it’s not turning on. Any suggestions?

First iPad ever!

Guys I’m finally joining the club! 🍏 Got me a used (only 32 battery cycles) iPad air M2 11” 128GB with latest pencil pro and a third party cover, all of this for only 650€ which I believe was a honest price (i’m in Italy 🇮🇹 ) I am looking for a good paper-like screen protection, what do you suggest? Will also look for a keyboard, would not mind if third party / used, which one should I keep an eye for? 💪🏻 Then of course, any suggestion for must-have apps related to productivity and creativity is highly welcome 🙏🏻😍

Upgrading my iPad Gen9

I have an iPad Gen 9. Would I notice a big difference if I upgraded my iPad Gen 9 to an iPad Gen 10 or iPad Air Gen 6. My only uses are web browsing, banking apps, streaming, and Reddit and Facebook. I do no gaming, so would it really be noticeable if I chose to upgrade?

iPad stuck

I got this iPad from my sister since she got a newer one and it’s stuck on “configuring Vivint” and I can’t get past it. I don’t have Vivint. She did a factory restart when she gave it to me and I got into the iPad before but it needed updated and since I updated it it’s been stuck here.

How to remove a stain on iPad screen

Hi! First of all sorry if my English sounds weird, it’s not my first language. I have this weird stain on my iPad screen and I don’t know how to remove it

It’s my fault because I used strong glue to make something and when I came back to my iPad the glue on my hands dried but some of it got on my iPad I think?

It doesn’t really show when the iPad is on, it doesn’t affect the sensibility of the Apple Pencil and i don’t feel a "surface", it’s flat.

I’m still asking because I am scared it will end up damaging it or even if it does nothing it looks ugly. I take good care of my iPad and I really don’t want it to be damaged because of something stupid I did.
