iPad Locked Up or Frozen, Rebooting the iPad
You just got your new iPad and tried connecting it to your computer and it LOCKED UP. So, what do you do? First, I'd advise you to upgrade your iTunes software to the latest version. Second, reboot your iPad.

Resetting your iPad does not erase music on your iPad, but you might lose some customized settings you made.

iPad Sound Quality - MP3, AAC encoding and bitrates
By default music you buy from iTunes is in AAC format, encoded at 128 kbps (kilobits/second), which is a reasonably good sound quality. When ripping music from your own CDs using iTunes, you can choose from a variety of speeds and formats. First, should you us MP3 or AAC? If you only have iPads, then choose AAC - iTunes produces much better quality AAC files than MP3 files for a given bitrate. Second, what bitrate should you choose? The lower the bitrate, the worse the quality (however, the less the space taken by music files).
You can set the encoding quality by going to the Preferences option under the Edit menu. Click on the "Advanced" tab, and then click on the "Importing" tab. Next to the "Setting" option, select "Custom".

Converting Video to iPad Format
If you have your own personal digital video content and want to convert it to iPad format, one of the best choices is iPad Converter. It's simple to use and best of all.
