I have an ipad2 with wifi and 3G.  My wife and I are traveling in France (Nice) then into Italy.  We are unable to purchase a data plan because our Verizon IPad will not accept a sim chip...we are told.  An Apple store employee here said this model is good only in the US. The iPads here take a sim card. We were advised by an Apple Store Employee at home that this model would work in Europe and that we could buy our service here.  That does not seem to be the case.    We have been told that we must invest in a modem at 200.00€ and then purchase a separate service plan for each country. We can use the free wifi wherever it is available but we cannot connect to the outside world when out of range. Is there anything else we can do?
Thanks, John

Unfortunately, no other solution is available.
Hope this helps

  • HT5569 iPad will not accept my wifi password

    I had my iPad replaced today due to battery failure. The replacement iPad will not accept any of my wifi passwords at work or at home. Is there a setting that needs to be reviewed? I have rebooted both the iPad and routers at both locations, no one else is having problems with these passwords or their wifi connections.
    Any suggestions?

  • IPad will not accept new Enterprise password

    I normally am able to access my workplace email (via Microsoft Outlook Exchange) on my iPad. I was required to change my Enterprise (and Outlook) password on my workplace computer. Now iPad will not accept the new Exchange account password which renders all other functions on the iPad inoperative. How do I bypass that Exchange password prompt?

    We have similar issue with our corporate ipads.
    Enter the new Exchange password then reboot the iPad. Exchange should accept the password after reboot, seems to be some peculiar quirk!

  • Ipad will not accept new version of itunes

    ipad will not accept new version of itunes

    What version of iTunes are you trying to install. If its 10.6.3 or 10.7, those versions are installed on a computer, not the iPad.

  • HT201263 Ipad will not accept my wifi network, after restoration. What now??

    My Ipad froze up with the announcement that the I cloud had not been backed up for 3 weeks. after frustration, I went to support and restored..Now I pad will not accept my wifi..help  I am a novice

    Some things to try first:
    1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)

  • Ipad will not accept wifi password

    My ipad will not connect to my home wifi internet,it will not accept the password which I have checked many times to make sure it is correct,
    can anyone help.

    Hi Diavonex Thank you for your reply, Ive tried what you suggested but it hasnt made any difference,although the wireless connection complains my password is wrong, its possible ive put in the wrong email address but when the box to connect to wifi comes up on the ipad screen it no longer gives you the option to enter both email & password, only password, ive tried setting the ipad wireless network settings to factory default but it doesnt work the connection settings are still there & they have a padlock which im assuming means you can not delete them, do you know how I can either delete the wireless network settings & start again or when the ipad wants to connect to the wifi network how to bring up the box with the options to put in both email address & password.

  • My iPad will not accept my ID and Password

    I just purchased a second hand iPad, I tried to activate it but it will not accept my password. the exact error is " Incorrect Apple ID [email protected] cannot be used to unlock this iPad"
    I have changed passwords but no luck.
    Any help would be appreciated
    Carmazo

    If you are trying to activate an iPad or iPhone and it is asking for a previous owners Apple ID and password, you have encountered the Activation Lock. This is a security feature that prevents thieves from setting up and using a stolen or lost iPad or iPhone. You have no alternative. You must contact the previous owner to get permission to use the device. If you cannot contact the previous owner return the device to where you bought it and get a refund. You will never be able to activate the device and no one can help you do it.

  • I have the ipad2 with the latest Os upgrade.  On certain websites, I get the following error message: cannot open page. Safari cannot open the page because the network connection was lost. I have rebooted, turned off wifi and reset the password.

    This is happening to only certain websites.  Unfortunately, the work ones that I need to access.  I appreciate any help.
    Error message:
    Cannot open page
    Safari cannot open the page because the network connection was lost
    I reset the wifi and the password, I also rebooted several times.

    Do you have any other browsers on your iPad? If you don't have one, why don't you try downloading one of these free browsers - they will all be "lite" versions (not full featured)  - but if you can access these websites with one of those - then I assume that we can point to Safari as being the culprit. That will not solve the Safari problem, but it will give us another point from which to work.
    http://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=free+ipad+web+browsers&ie=UT F-8&oe=UTF-8
    I have Mercury, iCab Mobile, Opera, Dolphin and Atomic. iCab Mobile - the paid version is great.
    BTW ... have you tried to access these sites from another WiFi connection - like a library, a friend's house - any other WiFi network?

  • Thumb drive will not accept duplicate numbers altho pics are different from iPhoto. Can numbers/labels be changed?

    iPhoto 11, vers. 9.2.3 - Photos downloaded from my camera have a set of numbers which are repeated with each download posing a problem when trying to place them on a CD or thumb drive as the duplicate numbers are not accepted. I have well 2500 photos and possibly dozens of duplicate numbers. I thought I could simply modify the name of each photo but that does not work. Any suggestions would be appreciated, thank you.

    Two simple solutions
    1 - export to different desktop folders on the desktop and then drag those folders to the thumb drive - duplicate file names in different folders are fine (you can not have duplicates in the same folder)
    2 - export to a desktop folder using the sequential file name option - Exporting From iPhoto - and drag that folder to the Thumb drive

  • IPAD will not accept wifi login

    I am so frustrated; at hotel, ipad picks up wifi just fine; safari opens for me to enter password and login; I enter the correct one (I've done this dozens of times and had others try too) and the screen either freezes or never connects. I've reset factory settings; turned off autofill in safari;
    I've never had this problem before with any wifi connection with my iPad.
    The provider is the Cloud; I'm traveling in sweden.

    Hi and welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    So, you have turned off autofill, so you know that little trick, and have reset the iPad, have you also gone to Settings > WiFi and manually entered the network information and told it to join that network?
    Are you sure the hotel is using up-to-date WiFi hardware? iPads seem to be sensitive to out-of-date routers based on some of the posts on here. Not much you can do about that in a hotel except carry your own Airport when traveling and use your own network.

  • I have upgraded to IOS5. Now my Iphone will not accept my Sim?

    I have update the software to IOS5 but now my phone has rejected the Sim. any ideas?

    If you've already upgraded, this will be tricky. If you want to stick with a Quicken-type product, purchase Quicken Essentials. It's not nearly as good as Quicken, but it works as a simple account register. Find your old Quicken data file and copy it to a flash drive. In the Quicken Essentials install disk, there is a Quicken File Exchange Utility. Copy that to the drive as well. Plug the drive into a Mac running 10.6 or earlier and run the utility to convert the Quicken File to a Quicken Exchange File. Move the drive back to the Lion machine and import the Quicken Essential file.
    If you haven't upgraded yet, convert a COPY of the Quicken data file then upgrade.Install Essentials then import.
