Can't locate my location... M using ipad2 wifi only
Hi m using iPad 2 wifi only version from three weeks and am still can't able to locate my location...
The wifi only iPad doesn't have a built-in GPS chip like the 3G and 4G models do, it relies on getting it's location from the router that it is connected to being in the database that Apple uses (and I don't know how they get added to it).

Does ipad mini 2 wifi only can access to LTE signal by using pocket wifi 4g lte?
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.

how can I find my lost ipad-2 with WIFI only. I have only its serial no. icloud says alway the
device is offlineIt will only show if the device is turned on. And if someone else has it, they can turn that feature off. Your best options are to return to the location where you think you lost it, and see if anyone returned it. Also contact your local law enforcement.

Ipad2 wifi-only with non-Apple mobile phones as hotspots
Does the Ipad2 wifi-only work with Nokia E-7 as hotspot / Are there any reasons or restriction from Apple side that make such set-up with a non-Apple mobile device impossible? Thanks
I use my Samsung Mesmerize phone as a Wi-fi hot spot and I have no problem what so ever with it, it works great at my moms so we can FaceTime with my sister! I used to pay AT&T extra for 3G, but you can't FaceTime using 3G, you have to have a Wi-fi connection, and my phone works great with it! Plus, I don't have to pay extra for it, I never use my full 5 GB data plan.

I have a 13.5 month old Ipad2, wifi only that has had problems with wifi com from the beginning. I am learning that this is not unusual for apple. Any suggestions?
ronald1094Try #5.
Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
• Launch Settings app
• Tap on Wi-Fi
• Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
• In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

My iPad2 (wifi only) is significantly slower since upgrading to iOS 8.0.2. Is Apple addressing this? Any way to go back to iOS 7?
I run an iPad 2 on iOS 8.0.2 and have no significant speed issues (FWIW).
Try resetting the iPad by holding the home and power keys down until the Apple logo appears.
Any way to go back to iOS 7?
No. Apple does not support iOS downgrades.

No reason it shouldn't as WiFi is the same anywhere.

How can I use the embeded GPS in my Sprint MiFi Hotspot for my location on my iPad4 wifi only device
The iPad uses the wifi network to determine the location My default connection is through my Sprint MiFi, but it does not use its location gps eventhough it is active for Maps. It did use a local tower in a wisconsin town yesterday and no it thinks I'm there and I cannot refresh it. I am brand new to apple IOS as I won the device last Thursday. I'm trying to upgrade the OS to 7 as it has 6 installed. I need to find a faster connection to do it though.
Any help wpuld be appreciatedRe: How can I get the best out of my battery life?
Hi,
When I make phone calls people on the other end have difficulty hearing me. They describe as they can hardly hear me as if I was speaking through the pillow etc). I am not touching any buttons and obviously it is not mute. This was happening couple of time in June, then every now and then. Recently it happened a few time in 2 weeks. I was trying to check if it was a reception issue but the place I spoke from is my office I make 70% of phone calls from. Can you book time for me in repair shop and address the issue.
Thank you.

I am about to buy an ipad mini for my daughter, with wifi only capability & wondered if I was able to share my internet connection via my personal hotspot on this device. I know that you can on an ipad with wifi + cellular device, but wondered how it worked for the wifi only model. I have an iphone 5 ios7.2 & would be using my personal hotspot from this to share with the ipad mini in car journeys etc. The wifi obviously is great when at home. Thanks for any advice or comments.
Thank you so much, a direct answer on something Ive been trying to get an answer for all morning. ipad mini with wifi only, is capable of sharing a personal hotspot on my iphone 5, but you think that in some cases it can be expensive. My provider insists that my personal hotspot sharing is free. I am with 3. Problem solved.

Can't find my phone - can i locate it using the GPS?
Yep, I can't find my iphone. Is there a way I can locate it given its GPS capability? Any help, whatsoever, would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!Do you have any idea where it is? If its on, the phone company can figure out where it is, roughly. I'm not sure how one would go about asking the company to tell you this information though. I assume it wouldn't be easy to get this information. At least I hope it wouldn't be easy.
Think of all those cop shows where the cops track people by their cell phones. -
Can't locate disk (using Disk Utility) when reinstalling OSX v10.2
Having problems after wiping drive and reinstalling - Disk Utility & Installation do not show a drive for the machine. Viewing other posts suggest clicking on Erase tab and selecting MAC OS Extended - but the drop-down box is greyed out with MAC OS Standard displayed. Tried to use Disk Warrior but nothing displayed when I booted up from the CD. Is this an indicator that my drive needs replacing? Machine is old - G4 /450, and can't remember if I used the old software or Tiger with the previous installation.
Thanks for any suggestions!do you have your original mac install disks? try to use the apple hardware test program...it will check the main hardware and if there are hardware failures with your HD, or other components it'll give you heads up.
also post this question in the powermac G4 forum, might get more bites since this is the G4 MDD forum. -
Can I use Ipad2 wifi + 3g with 2g network?
I have Ipad2 3g+wifi. Can I insert a microsim with 2g connection and download data? I am based in India.
Thanks for the reply. I inquired about the availability of microSim card. Will be getting one from Vodafone. Yeah I know 2G is slow. But 3G services have been rolled out quite recently here, and hence are very expensive. So will have to use 2G for now. Thanks again!
