How can I use New iPad in Japan?

I just bought the new iPad and was planning to use it to access the internet on my upcoming trip to Japan. When I purchased the device last week, the Mac Genius assured me that all I needed to do was buy a SIM card once I got there. Unfortunately, as I'm doing research, I'm finding out that it isn't possible to buy a SIM card withouth being a resident there. Any advice regarding this issue would be greatly appareciated.

I can't help with the sim card issue, but you will still have Internet access in any area where WiFi is available so in the worst case scenario, look for WiFi hotspots in Japan.
Have you seen this?

  • How can I use an iPad with two itunes accounts?

    How can I use an iPad with two itunes accounts?
    Hi there
    My partner has a works iPad, which has her works Apps on (ones that are specifically made by her company and are NOT available in the App store).
    What I want to be able to do is to ALSO have my itunes account on there so that I can put all the apps I have purchased previously from my iPhone on it.
    This is so I can put on VLC player (thats already in my itunes account) so I can add videos to the iPad.
    How do I do this please?
    I tried it before by connecting it to my mac, but it wiped everything off the iPad completely and also deleted the data settings for using 3G.
    So I want to avoid this happening again the future as it had to be sent back to her head office to be sorted again.
    Any advise please?
    Thanks

    You can't. The iPad is desgined to be a 'one user' device and only really works with one apple ID at a time.
    The only way would be if she, at work and with her work apple id, downloaded your apps (repurchasing them of course).
    It's not meant to be a multiple user/multiple ID device.

  • How can I use my ipad in a hotel that only has ethernet connections.    The apple store clerk told me that I can't use airport express unless I also have a computer with me in the hotel.

    How can I use my Ipad in a hotel that only has ethernet connections?  The Apple store clerk told me that travel express won't work in my hotel unless I also have a computer.

    The issue with the Airport Express (or any of the Apple routers) is that you need the Airport Utility to configure it.  Airport Utility works on OSX and Windows, but not on the iPad (or iPhone or iPod Touch.)  It will work, if you can preconfigure the Airport correctly ahead of time, but you'd be stuck if you did need to reconfigure while at the hotel.
    You can use most any other router that is configured with a web page, which means you have a chance of configuring with Safari on the iPad.  If you want something somewhat portable, I use a "travel router" made by D-Link. The current model is the DAP-1350.  Other companies make similar travel routers, but I have no experience with the others.

  • How can I use my iPad to check-in and check-out books to my students in my classroom?

    How can I use my iPad to check-in and check-out books to my students in my classroom?

    Assuming there won't be any wi-fi netwokrs, will there be cellular reception there?
    If so, you need to check if a carrier or the carrier if there is only one, offers a data only plan for the iPad and similar devices along with providing a mico-SIM card. If a carrier offers a data only plan with a full size SIM card, you can cut the SIM card down to mico-SIM size. There are devices that provide for this.
    If there is cellular reception but a carrier or the carrier doesn't have a data plan only for the iPad and similar devices but offers a tethering plan for phones on their network, you can tether your iPad to the cell phone for internet access via the carrier's cellular network.

  • How can I use my iPad in France

    I live in Canada and I am going to France and Italy in August. How can I use my iPad in Europe.

    Do you have a wifi only version or a 3G one?
    You can always use free wifi services, anywhere, so hotels, cafe's, restaurants, libraries, and so on which offer free wifi will be available to you (there are even travel web sites available that will list what is available if you search a bit).
    If you have the most recent iPad, you can also get a SIM card when over there, with a local carrier and use that (the newest iPads all have international GSM slots).
    Or, ask your Canadian carrier what sort of international plans/roaming they may offer.
    All depends on just how much access you want or need, and how much you are willing to pay for it.  Free is free, a local carrier will almost certainly be cheaper than any roaming plan, but you may need to research who offers what plans (a pre-paid local SIM would be the best option).

  • How can i use my ipad in canada?

    How can i use my ipad in canada?

    You can certainly use your iPad in Canada. You'll need to find out from your cellular carrier though if you can use cellular in Canada with paying hige roaming charges.
    If there will be roaming charges, or if your carrier will not let you use cellular in Canada, you can still use the iPad. Turn off Cellular in Settings. You can still connect to Wi-Fi anywhere you go.

  • 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.

    Hi,my friend has forgot his ipad 4 password,how can he use his ipad?any other ways expect restore??

    Forgotten passcode (Recovery Mode)
    1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
    3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
    4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button.
    5. iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.

  • Can i use new ipad charger for ipad 2 and vise versa

    I have ipad 2 and i bought new ipad for my dad. Both ipads charge quickly with ipad2 charger as compare to new ipad charger.
    So, my question is.. Is it okay to use new ipad charger for ipad 2 and vise versa...???

    The iPad 1, iPad 2 and new iPad all use the same 10W charger.
    The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W 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 (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%.
    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. Also look at The iPad's charging challenge explained http://www.macworld.com/article/1150356/ipadcharging.html
    Also, if you have a 3rd generation iPad, look at

  • How can I use an iPad Mini as a external display for any new Vixia Series Camcorder?

    Hey Everyone, 
    I've worked with Vixia's previously and am looking to purchace one of my own, a G20 or G30 most likely.
    I'm very interested in using an iPad Mini as an external display and wondering if anyone has had luck with this.
    Cheers and thank you!

    do you mean you want to play your videos from your Vixia camcorder on your iPad mini? Well, that may be a little difficut. Because the video came from your camera may not be a very friendly format. 
    Here you can try install VLC on your iPad mini , VLC should support AVCHD (*.MTS) natively.
    If this can't work, then find yourself a free converter;
    Handbrake, Any video converter ,ffMPEG etc.
    If this can't wrok , or the output quality is jerky.
    try this one free mts/m2ts converter from pav, I used it and considered to update it.

  • How can I use an iPad upgrade for an iPhone?

    My iPad (Verizon) and iPhone were stolen from my car. My iPad has an upgrade available. I understand that normally the iPad can only be upgraded to another tablet. But someone told me I may be able to switch the upgrade to a phone.
    I have an old Verizon phone I'm not using. I think the process was perhaps to activate this old phone on the iPad's phone number then upgrade to an iPhone.  Or perhaps it was to activate the old phone on a new line and then switch the iPad's upgrade to it.  I am not sure.
    Can anyone see a way to use my iPad upgrade toward a new iPhone?

        Hi damormino,
    Oh my! That definitely sounds upsetting. I fully understand how aggravating it can be to have your devices stolen. The good news is, we do have options. Do you recall if insurance was selected on either lines? When it comes to upgrading a tablet line unfortunately our system does document the type of upgrade and type of device that was previously used even if you were to activate a basi device. My sincere apologies that you would be unable to utilize this upgrade to obtain a smartphone or basic device. Have you considered utilizing http://vz.to/ZILXBT? Please keep us posted, thanks!
