iPad is back
Brief note here that my iPad is working again. A friend with a newer Mac, newer OS and newer iTunes gave it the old one-two.

Lucky you. Apparently iPads are in very short supply right now. A friend is trying to get one and can’t locate one anywhere in Montreal. I think she says Apple is taking six weeks to ship.

I do feel fortunate, although I’m a little concerned how it got into the bad state it was in. It’s been treated with kid gloves and nothing weird or experimental has ever been done to it.

Hardware fails like bodies. It will probably go for a little bit longer but you might want to put some money aside for next year when it kicks the bucket.

I ordered my new iPad on Sunday and UPS said this morning it was going to be delivered this afternoon. It didn’t, but it hopefully will tomorrow. So waiting six weeks seems like a stretch.
(Yes, I was inspired by Kate’s post although mine died weeks ago and was 7 years old. Almost bought a second hand one in January, but thought $350 for iPad Pro plus pencil and keyboard case was too much. Stupid me. Currently iPads on Kijiji are very rare and really expensive. )

“$350 for iPad Pro plus pencil and keyboard case” Damn, I would be kicking myself too!

I wouldn’t be, at that price it was almost certainly a scam. In all likelihood, it was either a cheap knockoff or a stolen iPad that probably would have been reported stolen and locked, thus completely unusable.
So unless it was from someone you personally knew and could certify the origins of you avoided being scammed.
