from wikiHow - The How to Manual That You Can Edit

Have you had your eye on an iPad but can't convince your parents that getting one is a good idea? This article will offer some tips to help.

Steps

  1. Try to be reasonable when asking your parents for an iPad. Explain the advantages of owning one and let them make a list of disadvantages to compare. If they still say no, don't push it - wait until they’re in a good mood, and talk to them then.
  2. See customer reviews on the iPad at certain selling sites. If you don't want to pay full price, check out eBay or Amazon for used iPads.
  3. Think about what you'd do with it, and take responsibility.
  4. Try to find a good deal, or trade. You could offer to pay half of the price if your parents are seeming a little unconvinced.
  5. Learn everything you can about the item by reading actual owner reviews, not just what Apple describes on its website. You may find that it's not as good as you had expected.
  6. Understand that the iPad is a big investment and may not be worth it in the long run.
  7. Keep control of your temper when coaxing your parents.
  8. Ask for it on birthdays, special occasions, Christmas. Visit Apple's website and show them photos, videos, and features of the device.
  9. Try not to keep on about it, as your parents will likely become stressed and annoyed.

Tips

  • Make a list of advantages and disadvantages. If there are at least 7 - 10 more advantages, then they may consider allowing you to purchase it.
  • Your attitude matters. If you take care of your own things well and don't lose them, or if you have kept a pet well, then it would be reasonable to say that buying you an iPad is fine.

Warnings

  • Do not press this if your family is having money issues.
  • Do not beg or whine, this will only show that you are not mature enough to handle a $600 piece of equipment.

Things You'll Need

  • Persuasion and coaxing skills
  • Money
  • A list of reasons why you should have one and why you shouldn't
  • Anything else necessary

How to Buy an iPad

from wikiHow - The How to Manual That You Can Edit

One of the hottest gadgets on the market today is the Apple iPad, a revolutionary tablet computer that's easy to use and more convenient than a bulky laptop. This article will offer tips on what options you have purchasing and setting up your iPad.

Steps

  1. Visit Apple's website and learn as much as you can about the iPad. Do you really need all of the features encased within the iPad, or would a smaller iPod Touch work better? Do you need 3G network coverage, or standard WiFi? Can you afford all of these perks, or just the device itself? Weigh these options and decide on which iPad would suit your needs best.
  2. Decide on what the primary use of your iPad will be. Do you plan on using it for leisure (games, browsing the web, reading iBooks), or for business only (email, banking, etc.)? This step is very important, as you can determine what features will work best for your lifestyle, but using it for both purposes is perfectly fine as well.
  3. Once you've read up on the iPad and decided on buying it, go out for the purchase. There are currently three ways you can order an iPad:
    • In-store: Visit an Apple Store location near you and tell a salesperson you'd like to purchase an iPad;
    • Over the phone: Call Apple's Customer Service telephone line (1-800-MY-APPLE);
    • On Apple's website: Order direct from Apple's website and have your iPad, as well as any other accessories, shipped directly to your door (via FedEx in the United States).
  4. Consider the technical specifications. There are currently three levels of storage space on Apple's iPads, which are the following:
    • 16 Gigabyte ($499 USD): The least expensive model; adequate for home or limited use, as well as storing apps and music.
    • 32 Gigabyte ($599 USD): The moderatley-priced model; good for storing lots of apps (shorthand for applications), music, and several movies.
    • 64 Gigabyte ($699 USD): The highest priced model, but offers a generous amount of storage space for apps, music, videos, movies, iBooks, etc.
  5. Choose between a WiFi model or one with 3G coverage. The only difference between these two models is the latter can access the Internet anywhere AT&T network coverage is available, while users of the WiFi models can only browse the web where Internet access is attainable. The 3G models are supported by AT&T Wireless, and are adequate for frequent travelers, but have an optional a $15-25 monthly charge for Internet coverage.
  6. Lastly, add on any accessories. While the iPad comes with a charger and USB cable, you can choose from a leather case (see above photo), charger extension cord, headphones, etc.
  7. Once you've purchased your iPad or have it delivered, carefully unbox it and connect it to Apple's iTunes. This will register the device into your computer and allow you to synchronize songs, apps, movies, photos, etc. from iTunes to your iPad.
  8. Enjoy your new iPad! Browse the web, view photos, listen to music, play games, watch movies, and appreciate the enhanced and enlarged screen size!


Tips

  • Consider taking out a warranty on your iPad. This covers incidents like malfunctions and accidental damages, and you'll be glad you spent the extra money should you drop the device, crack it, etc.
  • Set a passcode lock on your iPad to prevent people from accessing your data. Go to Settings, enter a four-digit code, and select what options you would like the lock to perform. Be sure to write down the code somewhere safe so you won't forget it!
  • If you've decided to get the warranty when you purchase your iPad, consider buying all additional accessories for the device (e.g. case, keyboard, etc.) on the same receipt. Few people know that in most cases, the warranty will only cover the items listed on the original iPad purchase receipt.

Warnings

  • Be careful with your iPad. Handle it gently and avoid letting young children use it without your supervision. The last thing you'll want to do is go through the hassle of replacing your newly-purchased device if someone accidentally damages it.
  • Exercise caution when traveling with your iPad. Avoid flaunting it out like a piece of jewlery for all to see, as thieves will go out of their way to rob you of such a popular and expensive device. If possible, you may want to pack it in a non-revealing bag as opposed to Apple's iPad case when traveling.
