I HAVE AN IPAD 2 WITH WIFI ONLY, CAN I GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM ANY SMARTPHONE, OR DO I NEED A SPECIFIC PHONE FOR THIS?

i ave an ipad 2 with wifi only, can i get internet access from any cell phone, or do i need a specific phone or type of phone

I received an iPad 2 for Christmas (the 1st Apple item I've ever owned!) and own a Nokia N95 8GB mobile (that's pretty much on its last legs/ready to die any day).
On the Nokia I've got 2 apps (downloaded from/via Nokia's 'Ovi' app store): JoikuSpot & HandyWi. Both are the free versions.
I've not used HandyWi much - if at all - but JoikuSpot has been great. Basically, it creates a wifi hotspot (as pjl123 mentioned) in a couple of straightforward steps, and allows a few devices to be connected. It displays who/what is connected at a given time - so you can check if the guy having coffee behind you is piggybacking your hotspot or not! - data packets sent received etc.
The paid version has the benefit of allowing you to secure the hotspot and other security features.  Their website is www.joiku.com, FYI.
Given how slow behind the 8 ball Nokia has been, their phones are getting cheaper and cheaper - given Joiku's meant to work with Nokia S60, Symbian ^3, Maemo, Meego & Sony Ericsson S60, this might be a cost effective option.
Ps. Ah! One more thing - Joiku's website specifies that 3G must be used; that WAP will not work. Good luck, enjoy!

    Help.  I just upgraded.  Before I did I backed up everything from my old iPad to the iCloud.   Then I turned one my new iPad and download everything.  Problem is that all my apps just say. Installing,  but I can't get into the apps....

    Try cancelling the installations and starting them again.

    Getting connected to a mifi the first time was goofy for me as well.  The message you are getting means you have not satisfied the security on the my yet.
    On mine, when I set it up, I had to declare a password.  But it never recognized that password for connecting devices.  Turns out the password was only used for changing system settings.   When connecting a device what it really wanted was the device code, similar to a router key- not your password.   So look through the paperwork and find the key, and try that.
    I think you mean novatel, who make a number of mifi units.

  • I have a sony hdd camcorder, how can i get the videos from it to my macpro?

    I have a sony hdd camcorder, how can I get the viedos from the camcorder to the macpro?

    If you have iMovie it can import video from most camcorders, but not all.   It comes with every Mac Pro.    If you need to restore it from the original installer discs, these are the directions:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2604
    Typically iMovie can import if you connect via IEEE 1394 or USB.   IEEE 1394 comes in three flavors:
    4 pin (typical for many camcorders), 6 pin (known as bus powered Firewire 400), 9 pin (known as Firewire 800 or 1394b).   Cables exist to connect each type of Firewire to each other.  Locate your Camcorder directions on Sony's website to determine what pinout exists if you don't have the manual.
    Double check on Sony's website there isn't a firmware update for compatibility with your operating system.
    Push comes to shove, you may have to install Windows on your Mac to connect the Camcorder.

    Hi nthompson77,
    Welcome to BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
    Do you have a data plan with your wireless provider that supports internet browsing and messaging?
    If you do, is your signal uppercase or lowercase when you're having this issue? Have you tried reinserting your battery?

  • If I bought a IPAD Mini wifi only, can I upgrade to a cellular service?

    I bought a IPAD Mini with wifi only.  Can I now upgrade to add cell service?

    No. A WiFi only iPad does not have the necessary hardware for cellular service and iPad's hardware cannot be updated. If you want cellular service, you need to buy an iPad with cellular from the get-go.
    If you are in the US and bought the iPad less thatn 14 days ago from Apple, you can return it and buy the one you want. If not directly from Apple, contct the retailer you purchased it from for its policies.

  • HT1689 I bought an Ipad recently with WiFi only - can I now upgrade to a 4G connection?

    Do you have to get 4g connection when you first buy the Ipad or can you change your mind and upgrade from Wifi only to 4G coverage?

    There is no upgrade.
    You can get a mifi device and plan from your cell provider or use your cell phone as a hotspoy if it has hotspot capability and you have a hotspot plan.

  • Why my ipad 4 wifi only can't use full funtion of apple map?

    Only the cellular iPads have a built-in GPS chip, the wifi-only models don't. There are some external GPS units that apparently work with it e.g. Bad Elf GPS.

  • IPad 2 wifi only can I call and receive face time

  • HT6058 I have an ipad 4 and I can't get itunes on it. I don't have a desktop only the ipad. Please help, I want to purchase music.

    I have an iPad and it will not open itunes so I can purchase music

    Oh, you have a very old iOS.  I'm not sure this feature was available in iOS 4, but try Settings > General > Usage (if it exists).  If it does exist, it will tell you what's hogging your iPad's space.
    Note you need an absolute minimum of 10% of your iPad's total space free at all times so your iOS can run.

  • I have an iPad 2 wiFi and want to be online away from my home. What equipment do I need?

    What equipment do I need to make my ipad 2 WiFi to be online when I am away from my home?

    If you have a phone and a network that allows it, you can use your phone as a WiFi hotspot (it's known as Tethering). Other than that, you'll have to rely on random WiFi hotspots wherever (coffee houses and fast food restaurants are your best bets).

  • Can't get internet access with WRT54G router

    I recently purchased a used WRT54G. I replaced my old wired linksys router with it and my hosts are able to get dhcp addresses from the router, but they cannot access the Internet. I have tried to use dchp release and renew buttons under the status tab in the router's web-based gui to get a public IP address, but can't get one. I have attempted to reset the router to its factory settings, but I still can't get the public IP. I have no problem getting an IP and Internet access with my old router and the WRT54G works if I disable its dchp and daisy chain it to the old one. Maybe I need to do something else for a complete reset of the router. Any suggestions? Thanks, Jack

    the router that you just purchased was maybe configured for a different network before that's why it did not work initially. after making the router back to its' factory defaults, you should reconfigure or set-up the router.. If you have CABLE ISP, enable ''mac address clone'' on the router's set-up page under the set-up tab. then check if you can get a public ip address after that.
