buying used ipad

He should use iTunes to "restore as new." It's real easy and iTunes walks you through it.

Checking it out? I don't know. Connect to the Internet. Browse the web but don't be surprised that Flash is not supported. Download some free apps and confirm that they work. There really isn't much else.

Also, there is a one-year warranty that is transferable but I don't know the details regarding how to do it. Perhaps call Apple at 800-275-2273 and ask them.

In addition to being able to transfer the original Apple warranty, that would also include the Apple Care extended warranty if he bought it, but if he did not buy Apple Care and if the original warranty has not expired, you still have time to add the extended warranty to cover the iPad 1 for another two years.

I would also check that the moisture seals have not been activated. If they have, then it may have been exposed to a lot of moisture or gotten wet. At that point it is an Apple determination as to whether the warranty is still valid.

Actually, the iPad AppleCare extends the warranty to *two years total*, not two additional years, same as the iPods.
-> AppleCare - iPad
"With the AppleCare Protection Plan, you can extend your service coverage to two years from the iPad purchase date"

So it is a bit different from the Apple Care for Macs?

Sorry, I did not realize that the coverage was different. Well he should be able to get an additional year then.

A bit expensive for just an extra year!.

Yes.

De nada amigo.

I have been offered a new & sealed iPad 32GB Wifi+3G with Part Number PC908LL/A and model number A1337. I have search this part number, but cannot find any reference. Please advice if this is a different iPad model than the one with part number MC496LL/A

The numbers for that series are not close to that number;
MC349LL/A (16 GB) MC496LL/A (32 GB) MC497LL/A (64 GB)

I have no idea what you may getting into.

Also, this is called threadjacking. It is best next time to start your own topic with your issue.

Sorry about that. I posted a new topic. Anywasy, thanks for your response.
