Hi I am bringing my verizon iPad air to Brazil later this month and would like to access cellular data. How do I do that? I understand there is something about swapping or disabling sim cards, but I am a little unclear and verizon was no help. Thanks for your help in advance.

You must have Verizon unlock the device from their service. In Brazil you will have to find a compatible provider and use their SIM in place of Verizon's SIM

Since you have another Mac, you could share it's DVD drive in System Preferences > Sharing.
Then use Remote Disc found on the MBair's finder's sidebar. This will mount the DVD in your old Mac to the MBair.

HT4972 It says iTunes will not back up games, apps, etc. Does that mean they will be lost? I have iPad 2, and would like to get iOS 6. Can I do that? Right now it is iOS 4. If I can get 6, do I have to go to 5 first?

I would like to upgrade my iPad to iOS 6. It is currently iOS 4.3.5. Can I do that? The article from apple says iTunes will not back up games, apps, etc. Does that mean I will lose them? Some of them I paid for and don't want to lose.

Yes you can upgrade from 4.3.3 to 6.0.
Your media - apps, games, music, photos, and so are not included in the backup. Your app data, settings, and many other things are included in the backup. After you update the iPad, you should sync with iTunes in order to put all of that content back into the iPad. This is what I recommend doing - I do it myself every time I update my iPads, or iPod Touch.
What you should do anytime that you update the device is to transfer purchases from the iPad into iTunes - File>Transfer Purchases - and you should backup the iPad as well. When you update the update the device, if something goes wrong, you can restore from the backup.
If you have any other important files, you may want to transfer them to your computer as well, prior to the update.

I have a IPad 4.3.5 and would like to upgrade to ios7 how do I do it?

I do not have a software update button on my general setting. Is this normal?

The option to update without the computer (Over the air) was made available with iOS 5. If your iDevice is using a version of iOS lower than 5, you will need to use iTunes on your syncing computer to perform the upgrade. Use the Apple link below as a guide for the upgrade.

I recently bought a new ipad 4 for my wife for xmas and would like to start using her old ipad.How do I personalize it to me 1

How do i get a separate itunes account for my wife?

On the old iPad go to settings>General>Reset>Erase all content and settings and that will totally erase the iPad. You can set it up as a new device and use your Apple ID in Settings>Store>Apple ID - or Settings>iTunes & App Stores>Apple ID.
Your wife can create a new Apple ID here.

Or she can go to Settings>Store>Apple ID and create a new ID in there.

iPads are not sold locked in the U.S. You can use a Verizon iPad on AT&T. However, you can't use an AT&T iPad on Verizon as those iPads are not in Verizon's databaase.

Verizon ipad air will only register if you call verizon pre-paid?

I bought an Verizon ipad air yesterday. I went in on the ipad and signed up for a monthly plan. It told me it would charge me immediately. I then tried to use it and it said that I had used all my data for the month. I chatted with verizon wireless and they said they couldn't see that the payment went through. They told me to call verizon prepaid. I called verizon prepaid and they said that they could see that I had "set up" the credit card, but that I would have to call them any time I wanted to change the amount of data and that I needed to call them to have the payment go through. She took a payment over the phone. Is this right? I thought we were to be able to do all of this from the ipad. What is the use of having the menus if I have to call them anyway?

I am having a bizarre experience in trying to set up my iPad Air with Verizon.
The problem comes down to the "Name as it appears on your credit card" field. My last name is a "Mc*" but that field will not let me capitalize the letter after the "Mc". If I type "McL" as soon as I enter the next letter the L automatically reverts to a lowercase l. If I type "Mc Lxxx" but then go back to delete the space between the "Mc" and the "L" the L again automatically reverts to a lowercase l.
I have turned off all the keyboard settings that pertain to automatic spell check, etc. to no avail.
I even tried typing my name in a Note and then pasting it into that field. When I did that it pasted as it should but when I tapped the "Next" button to go to the next step in the account setup process I got an error message that highlighted that field and when I checked it it hade reverted to a lowecase l again.
This is really baffling and is really p$ssing me off. I bought a new Nexus 7 a few weeks ago and it was a breeze to setup with TMobile.
Other than changing my last name to "Smith" anbody have any suggestions?

Can my verizon ipad air be changed over to Sprint?

I purchased a Verizon IPad Air. Since T-Mobile had the 200mb free ad going I had a T-Mobile SIMcard installed. Now, Sprint actually has a plan that would work for me, can I change to Sprint?? All of our phones are on Sprint, but because they didn't have a competitive tablet plan I didn't pick Sprint when I ordered my ipad.

If nothing else works, you might try this one. It has worked for many others ...
Use iTunes to do a reset to factory default condition. Always be sure to do your backups before fiddling with your iPad. You might do both the iCloud and the iTunes backup, just to be sure!

Re: IPAD2 very slow after IOS 8 upgradein response to pacoKAS
SOLVED: IOS 8 Issues on iPad 2:
I just returned home from a visit to the Genius Bar. Like you and many others, when I upgraded my iPad 2 to IOS 8, it became practically unusable. It was VERY slow, lagged whenever trying to to do anything. Lots of screen freezes and apps spontaneously crashing. I was convinced that the processor on the iPad 2 just couldn't handle the new IOS and I went in to see about restoring to IOS 7.
Thankfully, I was hooked up with a very sharp guy at the bar. The problem is not with the OS, it is with it being an *upgraded* OS. He used the analogy of when you had an older Windows computer and how over time (and over upgrades), they just tended to get slower and slower because of all of the garbage that was carried forward in the upgrades. At those times (and if you've ever had a Windows computer, you get this), the only thing that would speed it up would be to wipe the machine and do a fresh install of the current OS and then reload your apps, and the viola, everything would be fast again. Well, it turns out that IOS can suffer the same problems.
THE FIX: FIRST, be sure you have a current iCloud backup of your device. Connect your iPad to a computer that has a clean fresh copy of IOS 8 on iTunes (this is best done with a computer other than the one that you sync your device to because you DO NOT want to restore it from a back up just yet). Ideally, if you do this at an Apple store you'll be assured of the right version there and someone to answer any questions you might have along the way. You then hold the power and home button down to hard-reset the device and continue to hold them down until it reboots into recovery mode. You then follow the instructions on the computer to reinstall the OS on the device (which wipes everything from it and then reinstalls a clean copy of it). Once this is done (which only takes about 15 minutes), your device will reboot and ask you to set it up. Answer the questions about language, location, etc. and continue until it asks you to log into your iTunes account. Once you do that, it will ask if you want to either 1) Set it up as a new device, 2) Restore from iCloud, or 3) Restore from iTunes. Choose (2), restore from iCloud. This will ensure that it brings down "clean" copies of all of your apps and preferences rather than the potentially corrupted ones that might reside in your iTunes backup. That's it! It will take a few hours depending on how much data and apps you have, but I am happy to report that my iPad 2 is now running IOS 8 and it's running as fast as it ever did when it was brand new!
To sum it up, this process 1) Wipes your device and the garbage causing your problems, 2) Loads a clean and bug-free version of IOS 8 to your device, and 3) restores your apps and data so that it looks just like it did before the wipe, with the exception that it works now! :-)
Note also that by following this process you don't have to go through the painful and laborious process of reloading all of your apps, data and/or settings. iCloud takes care of all of that for you.

When I updated to iOS 8.3 I lost all shared photo albums on my iPad Air. Other devises which I shared to still have access to photo albums but my iPad does not, therefore I can no longer add or delete to shared albums. I can create new shared albums.

Hello JimS19,
I'm sorry to hear you are having these issues with your iPad. If you are having issues accessing your Shared Albums from your iPad (but not from your other devices), you may want to double-check your iCloud Photo Sharing configuration as outlined in the following articles, just to make sure it hasn't changed:

My iPad air won't charge at all and I don't know if it's the charger or port help!i have had a new port put in before and it worked fine after but it's not working now! I have spent way to much trying to fix this thing one problem after another?

My iPad air won't change at all, and I don't know if it's the port or charger cable it is charging normally but it just won't charge. I have had a new port put in before after a charger getting stuck in there but it worked fine after and now it's not working at all! I don't know if maybe it's the charger getting old but I have spent far too much money on this iPad then I should have as it's one problem after another witch is causing me lots of stress.

Try giving your iPad a reset. Hold down the sleep and home keys for about 20 seconds. When you see the silver apple, let go and let it reboot and try again.
How are you charging it? its's best charged plugged into the wall not via USB. So if you're trying via USB, try using the supplied power block plugged into the wall.

2. We can't help you in these forums.
3. Apple Support and the Genius Bar won't help you.
4. You can get a virus and malware.
5. You may "brick your iPad and have an $$$ paperweight.

Help. ipad air flashes between white apple logo and unlock screen?

help. ipad air flashes between white apple logo and unlock screen? how do i fix this ?

You can try resetting your iPad by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears.
Try again to see if the problem persists.
