16gb Ipad mini-wi-fi only, no cell package.

I bought a 16g Ipad mini-wi-fi only, no cell package. Can I add a cell package later thru my wireless carrier for internet connection or should I have purchased this in the beginning? Is my Ipad missing hardware for this?

If you think you will need or want cellular connectivity or the GPS function of a cellular iPad return the device to the store you purchased it from. You might be able to do this with no charge if you are within the stores normal return period. For an Apple store that is 14 days.
Or you can sell the iPad and buy the cellular model.

    If that is what you want, then you should be fine. You are answering your own question with that statement.
    Dont forget that you can store unused content in iTunes on your computer or delete content and download much of it again for free when needed. If the iPad starts to get too filled up - dump some content into iTunes or delete it.
    Sync it back or download it again when you need it. Just remember that if you delete apps that have documents and files that you want to keep, backup your iPad and transfer the files to your computer as well so that you can have access to them later.
    Remeber this though, you cannot add storage to the device later. What you buy is what you get.

  • How can I use my iPad mini 2 wifi only as gps in my car?

    can I blue tooth my iPhone 5C with iPad mini 2 wifi only and use my iPad as a gps in my car?

    Take a look at iOS: Understanding Personal Hotspot  Your cellular carrier needs to support this feature and may charge extra, on top of your normal data plan.

    Does ipad mini 2  WIFI ONLY can access to LTE signal by using  pocket wifi 4g LTE.,THANKS

    Hello Aaryn D
    You should be able to connect to that hotspot without issue as an iPad will see it within the Wi-Fi networks and you would not need the cellular model unless you want the iPad to constantly have a data connection.

  • 16GB iPad Mini Retina full with 10.3GB of 'Other'?

    My 16GB iPad Mini Retina has been giving me 'storage almost full' messages lately despite me deleting all my videos, nearly all my photos, many apps, etc. I actually have very little stuff stored on it compared to this annoying, mysterious 'other'. No music, no TV shows, no movies, very few documents, emails or anything. I deleted big apps like Twitter and it's made no difference. When I connect my iPad to my Mac and open iTunes, here's what it says is on the Mini:
    Capacity 11.69GB
    149 MB Photos
    1.08 GB Apps
    169 MB Documents + Data
    10.30 GB of OTHER
    Not sure what's going on. I can't even update to the latest iOS update or even save a single photo. Any ideas of what's wrong and what I can do?

    Thanks for that link Kappy; I'd read that previously, but that's for clearing out stuff you might have accumulated along the way - which I understand and appreciate. It's having 0.5Gb on the shrink-wrapped device that's confusing me.
    I would walk down to the Apple Store, but last time I had a problem the Genius said "I'll just Google that..." which didn't inspire confidence :-)

  • I was given a 16Gb ipad mini retina with cellular but I need more storage. We do not have the receipt as it is a gift. I like to swap for a 64Gb unit and pay for the difference my self, how do I go about doing that? I have not open the packaging yet.

    Hi
    Thanks for that. Yes, the ipad was purchased recently. I called Apple last Friday and they ask for the receipt. I wonder if anyone were able to swap their ipad for a larger storage in the past at the apple store without a receipt? 16Gb is such a small storage.

  • My 16gb iPad mini 2 only has 11.6 gb of free storage, while iPad 3 has 13.x gb of free storage.

    Why is my iPad mini 2 free storage so much smaller? I read online that other people have about 13-14gb free storage while I only have 11.6gb free storage, and I'm keep running out. Is my iPad mini 2 normal? I feel like I have an inferior iPad from other iPads. I don't know if other iPad mini 2 has similar free capacity.

    All models which are the same will have the same space available. However, depending on how you use it and any possible corrupted files, your own free space could vary. To get it back like all others, and to get rid of any possible corrupted files, you should reset your iPad back to its original factory condition. Then you can see how the empty space compares to all the others. But, be sure you do your backups, first.

  • HT201232 I puchased lord of the rings extended trilogy and did not have enough storage on my 16 gb ipad mini. It only downloaded the first movie. Is there a way i can view the other 2 or get a refund?

    I Purchased lord of the rings extended trilogy but do not have enough storage on my ipad mini 16gb. onky 1 movie fit, is there a way to view the other 2 or to get a refund?

    To have them all on your iPad at the same time you would need enough free space, which you won't have on a 16 gig model.
    You might be able to download them on your computer's iTunes, possibly via the Store > Check For Available Downloads menu option, or by going to the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage. If you can you can then sync/watch them one at a time to your iPad, or stream them from your computer's iTunes to your iPad via homesharing : homesharing will need to be enabled on both your computer's iTunes (File > Home Sharing menu option) and iPad (Settings > Videos) ; both will need to connected to the same wifi network ; and iTunes on your computer will need to be open ; you should then get a 'shared' library option in the Videos app on your iPad

    Hi
    I am a complete novice and just bought my first Apple product a Ipad Mini Retina 16gb . On reflection if I had been wiser ( and/or  richer!) I would have bought the 32gb versi instead for recording audio ,  storing photo's and documents .
    But  I have ton make do with what I have got so Is there a way ( a work a round)  of saving these files  instead where capacity is a problem on a SD card or external hard drive using the lighting connector ?

  • Is gps possible on iPad mini with wifi only?

    The specs for the new retina ipad mini show gps capability for only the wifi+cellular model, and not the wifi only version.
    I've only ever needed wifi enabled iPads, hotspotting them with my iphone, so I'm wondering, is there any way to get the ipad to use the iPhone's cellular capability and show gps mapping?  Of course I could just use the iphone, but the iPad mini screen is much better. 

    mende1, where did you get "Personal Hotspot is designed to make GPS work in Wi-Fi-only devices"? Since for location the iPod use the location of wifi router that are in Apple's database. Since the iPhone does not have a permanent location, it is not in Apple's database. This is confirmed by other posts and ggfromcp statement that "In the past I've tried this with my ipad2 and it hasn't worked".
