I am moving to Alice Springs, Australia, this summer from the U.S. I would like to get the new iPad to use while traveling back and forth from the U.S. to Australia, and within Australia. How can I found out if I will be able to access all the functionality of the iPad in Alice? Will I need to purchase a local plan of some sort? I have never owned an Apple product before -- I'm a newby!

Aside form the limitation of LTE to the 700MHz and 2.1GHz bands (which rules out LTE in Europe I gather, at least as it stands now) the new iPad should let you use a GSM 3g/2g/edge network anywhere.  The CDMA Verizon model will only be able to use it's native CDMA radio band in the USA (that radio will be locked to Verizon), but it's international GSM radio is the same as the AT&T model.
Keep in mind though that by far the cheapest option when abroad is to take advantage of free wifi as much as possible (well, that is always the cheapest option, since it is free).  I know several people who have taken their wifi-only iPads and iPad2s to Europe and said they did not find the lack of 3G really inconvenient at all as most towns had plenty of free or cheap wifi access all over the place.
And in 3 years, your iPad will be at least 2-3 generations behind, LTE will have already been replaced by 5G or whatever the next new generation of cellular ends up being named (and the "young" kids will be wondering what the heck 3G even means or meant - dang that stuff was from the olden days!), and you can pitch that ancient piece of technology and start things all over again

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    What do you mean by scanned, which app do you usually view them in.

    It sounds as if AT&T has already told you they can't do what you want. It doensn't sould like anything that's fixable on your end.

    You are allowed to have two machines with activated installations, so if you only had one installation, you still have the option to install on a second without doing anything further than that.  If you originally downloaded the purchase thru Adobe then you might find a download link available in your Adobe account online.  You can also download thru the following page if you can find your version:
    Download and Installation Help -
    https://helpx.adobe.com/download-install.html
    You can have the first installation deactivated to free up the activation and have it available for another machine again as well.  YOu need to contact Adobe Support thru chat for that.  For the link below click the Still Need Help? option in the blue area at the bottom and choose the chat option...

  • How can I found out the No. of Psocess running and How can I Release them

    Dear experts,
    How can I found out the No. of Psocess running and How can I Release them.
    I have 1GB RAM with oracle 10G. and please tell me How many processes can run with this RAM.

    >How can I found out the No. of Psocess running
    well, that depends on where you are ? if you are on windows then task manager will tell you what all processes are running. if you are on unix then ps -ef will tell you about all the processes running on a particular machine
    How can I Release them.
    what do you exactly mean by Release ? if you mean "end" that again has 2 scenarios, first that process ends by itself (ie after completing its job), another can be killing the process , that again will depend upon operating system. in windows you can kill a process from task manager itself, in unix you can use kill -9 PID to kill a process.
    How many processes can run with this RAM.
    loads of other details required before one can answer this question.no of processes in a very simple manner will depend how much memory is available and how much a process is eating.

  • My old iPad has purchased movies on it from iTunes Store, however they do not appear on my new iPad - what can I do to fix this? Thanks

    My old iPad has purchased movies on it from iTunes Store, however they do not appear on my new iPad - what can I do to fix this? Thanks. My new iPad air is wifi only

    You might, depending upon what country that you are in (redownloading films isn't possible in all countries), the studios that they are from (even where redownloading is possible not all studios have agreed to it), and whether they are still in your country's store (studios ocassionally remove their films), be able to redownload them on your new iPad via the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app.
    If not then you will need to connect your old iPad to your computer's iTunes and copy them over to it via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases, and you can then sync them to your new iPad.

  • I have DSL on my PC and would like to use it with IPad2 - how can I do this

    I have DSL on my PC and would like to use it with IPad2  how can I get this set up.

    All you need is wireless. If the DSL modem does not provide routing services or does not provide wireless, then you need to get a wireless/wired router. If the modem provides wireless, then that's all you need. Consult the user manual for the DSL modem or talk to your service provider.

    I have a similar problem: I switched from mac mail to Outlook 2011 as the default client, and want to switch back. Mailto links (eg from browser etc) default to Mail.  However, when I try to email a Word document as an attachment, it continues to open Outlook.  Outlook has a button in its prefs for making it the default client, but I don't see a way to turn this pref off in either Outlook or in Word.  

  • How do I update the browser on the MacBookPro?  I would like to get newer version of Safari; however, if that is not possible, is there a version of anything that I can get for MAC OS 10.5.8?

    How do I update the browser on the MacBookPro?  I would like to get newer version of Safari; however, if that is not possible, is there a version of anything that I can get for MAC OS 10.5.8?

    Hi kwalker08865,
    It would appear that the most recent version of Safari that is compatible with OS X 10.5.8 would be Safari 5.0.6. If this would meet your needs, you can find more information and a download link on the following page:
    Safari 5.0.6 for Leopard

  • HT204088 Hello everyone, i want to know how can i found out the purchases made with my credit card (not by my apple ID)?

    Hello everyone, i want to know how can i found out the purchases made with my credit card (not by my apple ID)?
    I found out in my Credit Card bill some purchases in itunes store that wasn't made by me.
    thanks to all helpers

    This would be something you would need to address with your credit card company. Apple cannot tell you who else might have used your card nor what purchases they might have made. Call your credit card company and report the charges as fraudulent. You'll probably need to have them cancel your existing card and issue you a new one.
    Regards.

  • HT1937 My imessage isn`t working properly from my iphone. what could be the problem? how can I found out? the internet is working and in ipad i can send message.

    My imessage isn`t working properly from my iphone. what could be the problem? how can I found out? the internet is working and in ipad i can send message.

    I have no idea what the "freezer fix" is, nor why anyone would think temporary exposure to cold will somehow fix a hardware issue with a 100% solid state device.  Also, actually freezing your iPhone may very well itself cause damage.
    If you dropped it and wifi immediately failed to work, the odds are you inflicted physical damage to it - perhaps the antennae connection internally.  You could try a simple reset and see if that helps, but if not, you need to take it into Apple for an evaluation and diagnosis.
    If it has internal damage, since you dropped it, your warranty no longer applies.  Apple does not repair iOS devices, the merely swap them for factory refurbished units (and send your damaged one back to the manufacturer in China for refurbishment or recycling).  You would ahve to pay the out of warranty replacement fee (look on your country's Apple web site, under support for the iPhone for fees).

    Marc

    If it is ok for you I would like to ask you another question.
    With the filter settings removes I discover that I have more then 10'000 pictures !!!!!!!!
    As I'm organized to have one archive files per year, I'm discovering a lot of pictures which have a keywords "from MobileMe". Is that correct to assume that is represent the pictures from the old world from mobile.me ?
    Sorry but I can't help with this, I never used mobile me so I'm not sure how it worked.
    It seems safe to assume that the images tagged with the MobileMe keyword were in your MobileMe galeries but exactly what that indicates I can't say.
    regards
