Can an iPad Air Wi-Fi be updated to Wi-Fi  Cellular?

I bought an iPad Air and didn't think I needed cellular. I now find that I need it. Can an iPad Air Wi-Fi be updated to Wi-Fi  Cellular?

No, it can't. If you bought the iPad from Apple within the last fourteen calendar days, you can return it and then buy the Cellular version. If you bought from a dealer, you'd have to check with that dealer about a return.
If you're beyond the return period, then other than selling the iPad you have now, your options are to see if any of the carriers servicing your region offer a MiFi device, basically a portable WiFi-to-cell router, or you can tether through a cellphone, if you have one that offers that service.
Regards.

  • My iPad Air stalled during an update and I cannot restart my device even after pressing the on/off button for 15 seconds. Any suggestions?

    My iPad Air stalled during an update and will not restart even after pressing the on/off button for 15 seconds. Any suggestions?

    Have you tried a soft-reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds, after which the Apple logo should appear and it should reboot.

  • Can see iPad Air in iTunes but can't sync or back up. Could 2 days ago.

    Can see iPad Air in iTunes but will no longer sync or back up, could 2 days ago. Can drag apps from library onto device however 'apply' is not available, nor is 'sync' under Devices.

    Disconnect other USB devices from your computer and connect iPad to a different USB 2.0 port on your computer (not on your keyboard).
    Turn iPad off and turn it on again. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button on top of iPad for a few seconds, until a red slider appears. Then slide the slider.
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
    Restart your computer. Then reconnect iPad to your computer.
    Download and install (or reinstall) the latest version of iTune

  • Can my iPad air connect with the blue tooth on my iphone5?

    Can the iPad air connect to iPhone5 blue tooth?

    If you turn on home sharing on your iPad (Settings > Music) with the same account, and it's connected to the same network as your Mac, then you should get a 'shared' option at the bottom of the Music app (possibly via a More button) - tapping on that and selecting your Mac should let see your Mac's library (via the Playlists, Artists, Songs etc tabs at the bottom of the Music app) and be able to stream its content to your iPad

  • IPad Air Apps will not update after ios8.0.2

    I Now have 17 apps that will not update after I updated my iPad Air to 8.0.2. What gives?  Some apps are stuck in mid update, so i can't use them. My wifi works. I have restored my iPad twice using iTunes. I have plenty of empty storage. I have reset my iPad. I'm out of ideas.

    I have been having the same problem but was able to get around it by updating the apps in iTunes on my Mac then syncing my iPad to iTunes on my Mac. Certainly not an elegant solution but until Apple gets this fixed it is the only way I have found to get updated Apps.

  • Slow iPad Air 64 GB after update on IOS 8

    Hello, my iPad Air 64 GB WLan became after the update on iOS 8.0.2 8 and iOS slower. 
    That is that all sides very much more time take open itself until this itself.  The new progress beam in the upper window area moves very slowly.  That is so in the flight mode and in the WLan mode. 
    That everything went before the update, under iOS 7 substantially faster.  I removed already all my photos.  That brought however also nothing.  At memory location, I still have 45 GB free
    Someone knows do again so quickly can react what I therewith the device like before the Apdate. 
    Please my bad English excuses.
    if possible, answers me in German language
    Thank you very much.

    Thank you. I have the same problem with slow iPad. If I do a reset will I loose any data? I have removed 20 gig of videos but it hasn't seemed to free up any space on the iPad. Any insights you can give will be greatly appreciated.

  • Can an iPad Air 2 battery be used to recharge it's wireless Bluetooth keyboard?

    Can the battery of an iPad Air 2 be used to recharge it's bluetooth keyboard ?
    I have a female-female USB adapter to connect the 2 male USB cords

    Hello Eric3171, I'm sorry but the battery in a iPad only supports itself and can't give power to other items. If you have a blutooth keyboard then it must have some sort of charging system. If it has a UBS charger, then it can be plugged into any computer (doesn't have to be Apple). If you still have the box it came in, see if there is a manual/ guide on how to use it. Hope this helped you.
    Have a nice day

  • I purchased an iBook on my iPad air and all software updates are done but the book is listed under purchased and will not open to view

    I Purchased a book in iBooks on my iPad air with all updates complete 8.0.2 and the book is listed under purchased and will not open to view

    Tapping the icloud arrow should get it to download to your bookshelf and it should then get 'downloaded' against it in Purchased instead of the arrow. See if any of the following fix it :
    - close the iBooks app via the device's taskbar and then re-open the app and re-try downloading it : iOS: Force an app to close.
    - soft-reset of the device : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the equivalent of a reboot.
    - log out and back into your account : select the Featured tab in the app, scroll to the bottom of it, tap on your id and log out, and then log back in

  • HT1766 Can the iPad 1 (the original) be updated to current iOS? I cannot figure out any way to update it's software so I can use newer apps

    I'm trying to update the software on the original iPad.  Cannot figure it out.. Can it be done at all? If so how?

    If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.0.1. For the iPad Mini the iOS is 6.0.2. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623
    If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
    Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily.  Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

  • IPad Air Firmware Stuck During Update

    my ipad appears stuck during update. It hasn't budged an inch for the past hour. Ive noticed in the firmware updates that it goes through two rounds of installing/loading process... The first round finished quickly and started the next round in the usual orderly fashion but as shown in the image, its now stuck mid-way. I don't want to anything that might turn this into an expensive paperweight.
