Interesting.

I've talked to two guys who said I needed a laptop or computer to set the iPAD up.

I'm not worried about syncing anything. Just want to get it set up and start toying with it is all.

If you have a wireless connection, you can get it up and running without a laptop. Apple realizes that half the goons out there never sync their idevices, so they don't require it.

At least I'm 95% sure this is the case. I think I've set up like 3 of them without a computer.

Ignorant question.

In order to set it up -- I'll need an internet connection, my iPAD and a laptop or computer, correct?

You'll need an internet connection or a computer. It doesn't require both, but you have to have one or the other.

I feel like a putz.

There's a little button right above the volume control which apparently turns off the sound effects.

Durrrrrrrrr.

Glad you found that..it's a little frustrating. The same thing happens when you try to view videos through a non-first party app while the mute button is toggled.

You can actually dig a bigger hole if you have that toggled to mute and switch the functionality of that button to rotation lock.

could be a knob on the game or go to preferences in the game and check the routing there.

You did try a reboot I hope.
Edit never mind. Appears you found the issue.

I have a question. I don't use my iPad much anymore, but I need to get around 30 pictures off of it. I have no idea how to do this, and it's driving me ****ing insane

Several ways to do that, depending on what OS you have.

Ohh, thanks a lot! I was trying to make that way too difficult.

Well that's the thing. I don't really use my iPad anymore, and I've divested myself completely of the Apple iTunes/iCoud infrastructure. But a friend put a couple of pictures on there, and I wanted them on my other computer. I figured I could just do share, and then email to myself. Or something. I just wanted the damn files. But it was giving me all sorts of trouble and frustrating me.

Of course, the easy thing to do was just plug the ****ing thing into my computer, and that worked fine. It's funny how when you go so long without using cords, you ignore the most obvious solution. And, in fairness, if I had set it up with my Google Drive account, I bet that would have made things easier as well. So mainly me being an idiot.
