Can i use my iPad without simcard

Hi everyone
I have an iPad wifi + 3g, but I do not use 3g and therefore there is not installed any simcard. My problem is that my ipad keeps saying "no sim card". I have turned off mobile data, but nothing helps. The message is popping up all the time, making it virtually impossible to use my iPad. My question is therefore whether it is really not possible to use my ipad without buying a SIM card and install this?
Thanks
Casper ;-)

you should be able to use it just fine. I don't have a 3G version to find where things are in the settings, but somewhere in the settings you should be able to turn off the cellular antenna and just have the wifi one on.
You might also try simply giving your iPad a reset. Maybe that'll make that message go away.Hold down the sleep and home keys for about 20 seconds until your iPad reboots.

Hello, my ipad has never been paired with any computer. My PC is ready to die and iTunes will not upload on it. My iPad is insisting that I connect to iTunes and I can't get out of that screen. How can I use my iPad without syncing it to iTunes? Than

Hello,
My iPad 2 has never been "paired" with any PC. My one and only PC is corrupted and will not, after many many attempts, download iTunes. When I turn on my iPad it insists that I connect to my iTunes. How can I avoid this and just get the iPad to work like normal? Any help is much appreciated

You cannot do anything with the iPad until you do as instructed by the iPad and connect to iTunes on a computer.
You probably need to restore the iPad and the only way to do that is via iTunes on a computer.
Take it to an Apple Store and ask for help at a Genius bar or take it to a friend's house that is running iTunes on their computer and try to restore it.
You will lose all of your data and settings now because you never backed the iPad up in the past.

Can You Use an iPad With a G5?

My mother in law just got an iPad, but has been unable to set it up with her G5 PowerMac. When she first connected the iPad, it told her that her iTunes was too old, so she updated that. Then it said the just-updated iTunes would not run with her OS (10.4.x). That's where we got stuck. Her Mac was never upgraded past 10.4, we don't have a 10.5 installation disc, and I can't install 10.6 or later on a G5. And I don't know how to downgrade iTunes, or even if that would work. I also don't understand why it would let her ugrade to a version of iTunes that won't run on her OS.
Since Apple no longer sells 10.5, does that mean she can't use her iPad without getting a new machine? The whole point of getting the iPad is so she wouldn't have to update her computer any time soon.

Doubtful. There really isn't an input method available that would work in the scenario.

Can you use your iPad alone to share iTunes music to apple tv without having to use your pc?

Do you have any music stored on your iPad or is it all on your PC?
If the music is stored on your iPad, then double tap the home button, swipe (left to right motion) and you will see the volume/brightness controls/AirPlay. Tap on AirPlay and select ATV. Then go into the music app

As noted your power adapter will handle the voltage. You might however need a plug adapter if those county's use a different physical arrangement...

How can I use my iPad and iPhone in Europe without incurring high costs?

How can I use the iPad to communicate in the Netherlands without incurring huge charges?

Depends on how you are planning on communicating. If you use Wif, then no. If you are using cellular data, you would need to discuss this with your carrier. We wouldn't know here.

IPad mini retina. After upgrade to iOS 8 and after to 8.0.2 I can't use my iPad because of wifi problem!

After upgrade to iOS 8 and after to 8.0.2 I can't use my iPad because of wifi problem

I am having a similar experience. Since upgrading my Ipad 2 to iOS 8 and then iOS 8.0.2 I have not been able to use wifi consistently and it is very frustrating. I can no longer watch any video because the wifi shuts down and won't come back without a complete reboot of the iPad. And forget about consistent bluetooth! My ipad worked perfect before the "upgrade" to iOS 8 and beyond but now it is really worthless. I have spent a lot of time and have tried every fix that I have read about online and NOTHING has corrected the problems created by the upgrade. After spending a lot of time trying to resolve this I am certain the problem is the buggy "upgrade" but I feel like no one at Apple is listening. I have always loved Apple products but this rotten Apple experience is making me think about exploring what else is out there. Apple folks, I recommend getting this fixed quick or your stockholders won't be smiling!

How can I use the gps without internet in my Ipad3 - 4G

How can I use the gps without internet in my Ipad3 - 4G. Do I need to download any additional app than the one that already came with it?

The Maps app included in iOS, at least as of the current version, requires an Internet connection, so you'll need to get an app that allows you to download maps to be kept on the iPad. MotionX GPS Drive is one such app, but there are others available.

Can I use my iPad when it is charging

Can I use my iPad when it is charging without hurting the battery?

Sure, but it won't charge as fast.
The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W or 12W (5W on Mini) USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (2.5W, most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

Can I use the ipad keyboard Dock for pairing with a non Apple laptop?

I am thinking of getting the keyboard dock for my IPad 2.
I also have an IBM laptop with blutooth. Can I use the iPad dock as a keyboard for the IBM?
Thanks

If you're referring to this dock:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC533LL/B?fnode=MTc0MjU4NjE&mco=MTg1ODE1Mjc
it is not a Bluetooth keyboard so can't be used with the laptop. And the keyboard dock was originally designed for the curved back of the iPad1. So while it does appear to work with the iPad2, some people report that it's a little loose and sometimes get intermittent disconnections with the connector.
As for Bluetooth keyboards, some can only be paired to one device. To use with two computers, you may have to un-pair from the first device, the re-pair to the second device. Some keyboards can "switch" without un-pairing, but you have to research to ensure the model you want will do that. Depending on your usage, it may be more worthwhile to get separate keyboards.

Well if you restore your iPad that might work. If its a software issue, it might solve it. If that doesn't work, it might be a hardware issue that apple can fix.

Can you use an iPad 2 if you don't have a computer

Can you use an iPad 2 if you don't have a computer? How can you update to OS 5? I want to get one for my mom but she doesn't have a computer of any type. Can I set it up on mine (I already have an account, an ipod and ipad2) and then give to her to use? Can't find any info on this. Do I have to set up an Itunes account for her on my computer initially? Will she then be able to update via wi-fi??? Thanks

To update to iOS 5 you need to do it thru iTunes on a computer. Once updated, thought, you can subsequently keep it up to date without a computer, thru Wi-Fi.
Yes, you can use an iPad without a computer, but all things normally synced to the computer will have no backup (photos, videos, etc). If you set up a Wi-Fi network for your mom, she should be able to get a lot of use from it.
Be careful about setting it up with your Apple ID, though. Once it is set up with your Apple ID it is tied to your creit card. Any future purchases (apps, books, etc) will always go thru your account.
