Looking for Answers about VTech VTech InnoTab Learning App Tablet, Pink?

It has an AC adapter for the house and another one that works in the car, neither one comes with it. They also don't charge the batteries, just gives you a power source while plugged in.

It does not come with an adapter, but you can purchase one.

No, it just runs on 4 AA batteries.

No. You have to use batteries or an ac adapter for vetch toys. Rechargeable batteries would last longer than regular batteries. If the kid is sitting in one spot you can remove the batteries and use ac adapter.

No, there isn't a charger. I would suggest using Lithium batteries.

you have to buy it seperatly and from vteck but if you go to walmart and in the electronics they hav a universal one that is about $15 that will work

yes. But it is sold seperately.

V Tech sells the charger separately. It was $10 at Walmart, but from what I read you still need batteries. The charger just helps the batteries so they do not drain quickly. But no, the charger does not come with this product. It is usually hanging right next to the Innotab though.

You can purchase a wall adapter just about anywhere. I bought mine at Walmart, but you can get them online (Amazon, Ebay, Vtechkids.com, etc) and maybe in other stores.

Online at any store basically or on vtech's site. Great investment.. Also think about rechargeable batteries for on the go :)

Walmart, toysrus, vtech website, amazon

The wall adaptor and car charger can be found on VTECH's website at www.vtechkids.com. the following are the links directly to each product.

guess what ! i just found out you can use the charger for your laptop if you have one !!! :) or you can go to vtechkids.com & they sell em for 9.99 !

Vtech has a standard wall adapter for there devices that are sold at walmart for $9.97.

most walmart stores have them, toys r us has them as well as the vtech kids website they are around $10 and work with all the vtech toys (mobigo, cyber pocket) and are totally worth it

If you work with your 2 year old it might be benificial for her. It says 4-9, but it really depends on the child.

My 2 year old LOVES it. Some of the games are a little hard and she needs help, but most of them are easy for her to navigate. I would reccommend getting her the Dora, Tinker Bell, and Mickey games...they are pretty easy.

it's tough to say, my 3 yr old just turned three one month before she got her Innotab and she had it figured out right away. My 18 month old likes to try and play with the Inno Tab but she is too young to really get beneficial use of it.

My grandson is only three and he loves it. In fact, he's been playing with my iPhone and iPod for at least a year.

I Love the e-books - the stories are recorded and the words appear. You could let your daughter listen to the story and then when you click the corner of the page, it turns to the next page.

There is a paint app that by simply clicking on one of the paint colors and then the picture, it colors that part of the picture, so she could probably do that

I bought this for my daughter and she will be 3 on Friday. If nothing else, she will be able to view photos, watch movies, listen to her music, and also use the art on it. Although she may not have any use for the organizer or the clock, the rest of it will definitely benefit her.

My two-year-old daughter plays with my IPod all the time, so when she found this in the store, she used it like a pro. However, the E-Reader, Calculator, etc wasn't fun or useful for her. I haven't bought it for her yet, but I think that it will be useful if we modify a few things. Instead of trying to have her read the books on her own, I'll start off with character names, colors, and such. The way I see it, she can use basic apps on it now and be able to enjoy it for more years.

yes

Yes, there is a spot to plug headphones in next to the spot for the ac adapter.

Yes, it does, but you would need to buy headphones.

Yes.

yes it does

Yes, you can adjust the volume with a button on the front of the innotab. You can put pics on using a SD card from a regular camera.

you can adjust the volume, and pictures we had on our regular camera we loaded them onto our computer and we were able to load any pictures from our computer onto the Inno Tab

Yes you can adjust the volume. There is 2 buttons on the lower right hand side of the tablet. And yes u can download regular pics from ur computer or other camera to it. I just downloaded 200 pics each on both of my kids tabs. Easy peesey! :)

Yes, the volume is adjustable. Also, you can transfer pictures from your computer to the Innotab regardless of the source. You do need an SD card in order to do it though.

yes there is buttons right on the front to turn the volume up or down, and you can put any pictures one this whether from a regular camera or kidizoom, you just use the usb to hook it up to the computer and add the pictures

i don't think so.but they said they are going to use power from adapter and stop using on batteries.

No. U have to put them in a battery charger. The plug only lets it work off electric. I was hoping that would work too.

No, the batteries will not recharge while its plugged in. It just doesn't use any of the battery power.

No, we tried and it didn't work.

I don't know for sure but I doubt it. We have a charger that you put the batteries in & plug into the wall. The light turns green when fully charged.

I bought a program that converts movies to .avi, which is the required format. The Innotab also needs a Sandisk in order to save movies, music, etc.

After converting movie to .avi, you download a sort of transfer program from Vtech's website - depending on whether you have a PC or a Mac.

Then you must set up a username/password. Once you register your product, go to 'file manager', and then you can upload from your computer by simply searching for the files. There are three options - music, video and something else (sorry but I've already given them as gifts, so I can't make a screen shot).

Then, you search for the file name and simply checkmark the files you want to transfer - the Vtech library (think that is what the installed program is called) shows you what to do.) Some files have a button that says "transfer" and others just have an arrow you click to transfer.

I followed a link on amazon.com: go to customer discussions: converting movies for the innotab. Look at lisagayle instructions posted on November 23, 2011. Hope this helps!!

I use FreeMake Video Converter. See my list of FAQs for details.

InnoTab FAQs by KBarrett...

Q1 - What do I need to download games, e-books, or transfer Music and Pictures?

A - You'll need an SD Card (8GB or larger) and goes in the battery compartment. You'll also want an AC Adapter.

Connect the USB chord to your PC and install the Learning Lodge Navigator (LLN) software.

Q2 - How do I register my child's InnoTab in the LLN software?

A - Click on the Image of the InnoTab and choose Add Child. Fill out all fields to complete registration.

Q3 - How do I register more than 1 InnoTab in the LLN?

A - Click on each individual InnoTab image and choose Add Child. DO NOT add children in the My Account section. It will not retain your child's information!!!

Q4 - How many V Coins do I get when I register my InnoTab and what do I get for them?

A - You get 3 V Coins per InnoTab you register. Each V Coin is worth $2.99, which will give you 3 free Games or E-Books.

A - There are 80 applications (as of 12/28/11). 90% of those are $2.99, with the rest costing $4.99.

Q6 - Where do I go to find the Games and E-Books and Transfer them to my InnoTab?

A - You MUST click on the image of the InnoTab once connected to your PC. DO NOT use the Downloads tab along the top!!! Once you have clicked on the image, you will see a Menu down the Left side of the screen. Click on the "Learning Apps Download Center". Select the Games/E-Books you'd like to buy with V Coins and/or Credit Card or PayPal. Download the apps and then Transfer them to your InnoTab.

Q7 - Can I access the Games/E-Books that I've downloaded previously?

A - Yes. Click on the image of your InnoTab to access the Menu down the Left side of the screen. Click on "My Downloads". You will see all the software programs you've downloaded and if the program(s) haven't been transferred yet to your InnoTab, you'll see check boxes next to each program. Select the check box you want and click Transfer.

Q8 - What format does Music have to be in?

A - Songs must be in .MP3 format and be free of DRM protection. Google search for DRM removal programs like TuneBite or SoundTaxi.

Q9 - How do I transfer Music to my InnoTab?

A - Click on the image of your InnoTab to access the Menu down the Left side of the screen and select "File Manager". Then choose the Music tab. Navigate to the folder where your music is stored, which will auto-populate the LLN with all the songs in that folder. Check the checkbox next to each song you want transferred and click the Transfer button. You can keep selecting songs as you scroll down the list and then Transfer in one click.

Q10 - How do I transfer Pictures to my InnoTab?

A - Use the same directions as Music, except select the Pictures Tab instead of Music.

Q11 - How do I transfer full length Movies to my InnoTab?

A - First "rip" your movie to a folder on your PC. I use DVDFab. Also only select "Main Movie" before ripping.

Then you'll need to convert the movie to an acceptable format (.AVI). Get FreeMake Video Converter and use the following steps and settings:

Step 1 - Once installed, open the program and click the +Video button.
Step 2 - Navigate to where your movie folder is and select all files in the folder and click the Open button.
Step 3 - On the bottom of the program select the "to AVI" button.
Step 4 - Click the blue sprocket or "Edit Settings".
Step 5 - Choose the following settings: (Videos display perfectly using these settings)

Frame Size = Custom, Width = 512, Height = 320, Adjustment = Auto, Video Codec = XVID, Frame Rate = 29.97 fps, Bitrate = Auto

Audio Codec = MP3, Channels = Stereo, Sample Rate = 44100 Hz, Bitrate = 128 Kbps.

Step 6 - Give the new Setting a Title like "InnoTab Settings" and click OK.
Step 7 - Choose where to save the finished AVI file.
Step 8 - Click Convert.

Finally, you can either close the Learning Lodge program and navigate to the new Drive on your PC, which is the SD Card (varies by computer) or you can take the SD card out and place it in an SD Card Reader (faster transfer speeds than through the InnoTab). Once you navigate to the SD Card on your computer, go to the LLN folder and inside you'll see a number of folders. Open the Movies folder and simply drag-and-drop the AVI file you made with the FreeMaker program into the Movies Folder on the SD Card. Once done, put the SD Card back in the InnoTab and turn it on, or restart the InnoTab for it to recognize the new movie.

Q12 - How long do Batteries last?

A - There are many reports that 4 AA batteries will only last a few hours. It is recommended that you purchase an AC Adapter.

Q13 - Why does the InnoTab keep requesting to update the Date and Time?

A - The InnoTab has a very limited internal battery to maintain the Date and Time. If the batteries wear out or it is unplugged from the AC Adapter for a long period of time, it resets the internal clock. It is best to keep the InnoTab plugged in and/or batteries are replaced as soon as they wear down.

Q14 - Can you use rechargeable batteries in the InnoTab?

A - Yes. Though you'll want 8 batteries, 4 of inside the InnoTab and 4 in the charger at all times, unless using the AC Adapter.

Q15 - Can the InnoTab recharge batteries?

A - No.

Q16 - Is there an Alarm Clock included with the InnoTab?

A - No. The original press release stated that it would include an Alarm Clock, however, there is not one. Maybe with a future Firmware update, but not keeping my hopes up.

Q17 - Is there an update for the InnoTab?

A - Yes. In the LLN, click on the InnoTab image and on the Menu down the left side of the screen, click on "Update InnoTab". Follow the prompts and choose to Update InnoTab. The latest Firmware version is 6.10914 as of 12/28/11.

Q18 - Where do I access the Games/E-Books that I've downloaded to the InnoTab?

A - On the InnoTab, click on the Downloads icon, at the bottom will have the Games, E-Books and Other options.

Q19 - How do I track my Child's Progress?

A - You MUST click on the InnoTab image first, or see the Menu down the leftside! Then click on the "Progress Log" on the Top Menu bar.

Q20 - The LLN keeps saying I need Flash Player. How do I get Flash to install correctly?

A - Uninstall your Flash Player then open the LLN program. When it asks you if you want to install Adobe hit "Yes", pick the windows 7 32bit, then on the browser question DO NOT put in internet explorer, instead choose "Other Browsers".

Q21 - How do you know so much about Swallows?

A - You've got to know these things to be King.

I hope this InnoTab FAQs was of some use. Please let me know if it was.

Thanks!

I put 4 movies on a sd card and insert it into the back. works like a charm!!!!

It does not come with a memory card, but you can purchase SD cards to use in them. There's a spot for them in the back next to the batteries.

No memory card included but I just bought 2 8gb sd cards from Walmart.com for $20. I'm sure u can get a lesser gb size for alot less than that. It would prob only need about 4gb depending on what u plan to put on it.

It has an SD card slot but DOES NOT come with one!

It has a 64 MB Internal memory and an External SD card Slot for memory Expansion. I found the information on VTechs site.

no,buy seperately cost $14.xx

No, but depending on where you buy it there might be a bundle deal going on? Typically you have to purchase the case separately.

On some deals yes but if u bundle u'll get a case, the adapter, and 2 games for $150. I purchased mine from amazon and got the pad and 2 games for $104

not through walmart...through toys r us it is included in a bundle pack .

Yes, you can purchase a wall adapter for this product, as well as a car adapter.

Yes, and you will want it.

guess what ! i just found out, if you have a laptop, you can use that as the ac adapter ! instead of buying one b/c these batteries die quick. but if you dont go to vtechkids.com they have the vtech ac adapters on there for 9.99 !

yes you can
