Does ipad needs to be unlocked to use outside US. I mean GSM in India

Hi, Do we have to unlock the ipad to use outside US. I am trying to use it in India. I bought a GSM (AT&T) ipad first Generation one.
I bought a GSM 3G connection here in India and it doesnt seem to be working. So do I have to get it unlocked or does it come unlocked.
My Ipad shows Airtel and 3G with full signal strength but am not able to use saffari to browse internet.
Please let me know what is to be done.
Regards
Sutheesh

The AT&T original iPad is not locked to AT&T. Does the microSIM that you have actually provide a data plan or just phone service?

I bought an IPhone 4s at an Apple store whilst living in China with the carrier China Mobile. It is a prepaid phone (no plan). Can I use it in another country by changing the SIM card? Or does it need to be unlocked? Can it be unlocked?

I lived in China when I bought the IPhone 4s with China Mobile. It is prepaid so I have to put money on my phone when it runs out. Now I'm living in Mexico and I was wondering if I could keep using my IPhone with the mexican carrier TELCEL. Can I just insert a new SIM card from this company? Or does it have to be unlocked? BTW I had no contract with China Mobile. Thank you in advance:)

Could it be because the SIM card got damaged while I cut it to fit the IPhone?
Very likely. Hard to believe the carrier in Mexico doesn't have a micro-SIM card available.
Or somehow the Chinese carrier found out and locked it?
No, which is not possible.
What can I do? Get a new SIM and see if it works again?
Get a micro-SIM from the carrier in Mexico that you don't have to manually cut down. If that carrier doesn't provide one, switch to another carrier that is not so low-budget.

Purchasing and iPad 2 unlocked for use around the world on GSM?

I travel all over the world for my job, can I buy an iPad in the USA, that is unlocked to use on GSM around the world? Or should I buy an iPad outside the USA to be able to use it both in the USA and internationally on GSM?
Thank you,

The AT&T version in the US is GSM/sim based and unlocked - you'll just need to get micro-sims from wherever you go.

I live overseas.Can iPad Air be bought unlocked and used with Ukrainian SIM card?

I am an American living overseas. I already have an iPhone which I bought in NY with a Verizon plan, and they unlocked it for me since I am in Ukraine most of the time. Can I buy from Apple now an iPad with is unlocked to use in the US or Ukraine? Someone said I can get it with a universal part or port. Or can I get it configured for Verizon, have them unlock it as they did for my iPhone, and use it here with a local SIMcard and just buy credit through Verizon for when I am in the States? (The SIMcard appears to be the same kind, and I can just cut down my Ukrainian card again, right?)

Not sure what iOS -- whatever is newest when I buy. Probably will be in January.

Does iPad need activating everytime I insert a new SIM?

I have a 32GB WiFi+3G iPad. I'm currently using it in the UK with an Orange microSIM.
I know the iPad is not SIM locked.
My question is, if I take my iPad on holiday and pick up a local microSIM on a PAYG data plan do i need to connect my iPad to iTunes before it will work?
This would not be convenient as I won't have a laptop with me.
Thanks for you help

... No, you don't need to hookup the iPad to a computer when you change the sim card.

Does email need to be setup to use iMessage?

When using iMessage (iPhone to iPhone), does the iPhone need to have an email account setup to send pictures/videos? Text messages work fine.

Does Apple need prove of ID to use warranty?

My friends moving away to the UK and I am thinking of buying his iphone as his not going to be able to use it, the only problem is that if the phone were to break in some sort of way does it mean I'll have to pay to get it fixed or get it fixed under warranty as it is still under warranty. I plan to go to the apple store if needed
Also he bought the phone at telstra
Currently Living in Melbourne
thanks in advance

Warranty is tied to the device.
Any one can walk in off the street with an iDevice and get it replaced under warranty, assuming the issue is something covered under warranty.

Try a reboot by holding both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears, ignore the red slider if that appears. See if that clears the glitch.

Just received new ipad does it need for charge before I can use, as I tried to turn on but just get flashing apple

I just received a new ipad and started charging but when I try to turn on all I get is a flashing apple and it won't turn on, does it need to charge for timeframe before?

well try to place it in recovery mode, WARNING placing the ipad in recovery mode, will ask you to connect to itunes, and you will need itunes to restore ipad, which will erase all content.
Now follow the same steps as before, but you need to make sure it is plugged in to a outlet with power or a pc that is on, hold the sleep/wake button first, and then the hold the home button, keep holding them down until you get a itunes logo with with usb cord trying to connect to it.
make sure itunes is up to date.
after that you will have to use itunes to restore it.
itunes will tell you the ipad is in recovery mode and needs to be restored, press ok, then restore ipad.
there is not another step to take.
if you are unable to place the ipad in recovery mode, then yes visit a apple retail store, make sure you set up an apt. you can also call in for the issue, but if you do not have apple care plus, or apple care, then you will have to pay $19.00 for them to troubleshoot.

Can I set up home sharing from my iPad? Or does it need to be a "real" computer?

I'm trying to set up my new Apple TV on home sharing. I'm doing it from my iPad. When I go into iTunes from my iPad, it doesn't give me the "advanced" option.
Do I need to set this up from my PC?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Yes you can set up homesharing on your iPad (settings > music), however the library won't display on the Apple TV as it does from itunes on a computer. Use AirPlay from the ipad to play music from it on the Apple TV.

What does an ipad need in order to connect to the internet?

I have an an wireless internet router at home from Verzon. Can my ipad connect to the internet using that or does it need something else? What is the wifi+3G data plan? I really don't get this wifi and wifi+3G thing. Can u explain it to me?

Nope. You should be good. Any iPad can connect to almost any WiFi network.
WiFi is the wireless network created by wireless routers or base stations.
All iPads support wifi.
3G is the ability to get internet over cell towers. Like a cell phone, only data.
The 3G data plan allows you to get data from the provider, in the US it's ATT and Verizon.

Why is this file locked (man chflags), does it need to be, and is it safe to unlock it?

Why is this file locked (man chflags), does it need to be, and is it safe to unlock it?
~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Enterprise/Resources/Resource_3_1.db
Type this into a terminal in OS X, the above file appears to have a flag set to lock.
x-man-page://chflags

<the-sound-of-crickets>
The reason I'm asking, we have a bunch of computers we inherited that have some permissions issues within each user's respective home directory ("~"). The issue effects Acrobat Pro X's ability to launch ("Internal error occurred") since it tries to get access files/folders it doesn't have access to when the user launches. Recursively setting ownership to the respective user fixes the problem (and follows Apple's guidelines). However, that one file appears to have the unix file lock set (man chflags). So we are using a pre-installation script on our push policy to loop through every home directory. It appears the above file is the only one that won't let us change permissions.

Hi guys, so I wonder if ipad cellular works outside of the US. I need to send an iPad cellular overseas. Can an iPad cellular that is unlocked by AT&T/Verizon be usable outside of the US? I dun really know about iPad. Please help! Thanks

I bought an AT&T ipad air in USA. I spend quite a bit of time in Sri Lanka and have been using it the past month with a Sri Lankan carrier's SIM and it has worked perfectly.
