Hi all,

Am considering buying a second hand iPad.

Was hoping if anyone could teach me what to look out for aside from the obvious checking for dents and scratches, buttons.

Like is there anything else on the hardware that i need to look out for?

Can you also help identify common problems with the iPad.

Many thanks

Remember to check the version of the firmware, and whether the iPad has been jail-breaked or not. Check and test the connectivity of the wifi and 3G (if you planning to buy 3G version). Test speakers and display screen...test the connectivity with the iTunes, see whether can sync or not.

What? iPad with gyro? If I'm not mistaken iPad doesn't have gyroscope

I think its accelerometer...lol

If i bought a 2nd hand ipad and i want to keep the previous owner's app while syncing with itunes is that possible?

thanks

Should be possible, just plug in the iPad and let iTunes back it up first...then the apps should be in the iTunes database...but if it paid apps its linked to the previous owner's iTunes account.

Best is still restore to factory settings and get your own apps...

When you say sync, you mean your backup files?

Multitasking <---- Thats the biggest upgrade
Folder options <---- For organizing your many apps

Those are the 2 main upgrades.

This happens to me often especially if I leave the Trade Nations game without existing. Do hold the Home and Power buttons for at least 10 seconds and it should reboot the iPad. Else you may wanna try putting your iPad in DFU mode.

Thanks bro...I stumbled upon it by accident...I think it's because the game i played didn't exit properly...

Many thanks!!

anybody can name apps that are known to be problematic causing slow backups?

i heard that might be the main cause.

Try finding this program called iPhone Backup Switch. Basically what is does is before you open your iTunes, you can choose whether you enable or disable your iTunes backup. Works well for me.

Hope I understand your question - my suggestion is to NOT use the VLC Player app on the iPad.

I experienced the same thing with VLC as you did, and am now happily using the free CineXPlayer instead.

CineXPlayer plays most AVI files very smoothly, and can even output video to the TV using the Apple AV cable.

I recall reading somewhere that the VLC team will be issuing a fix sometime in the future, I don't have a link, unfortunately.

Thanks bro for the reply. I have been considering switching to Cinexplayer I guess now is the right time.

Can we access Youtube video then ??

Bro, you better do a google search on iPad first before asking basic questions. Thanks.
