I just purchased an ipad with wifi do i need to buy something else in order to get wifi? i have internet at home but no wifi connection

I just purchased an Ipad mini with wifi. Do i need an additional piece of equipment to make this work? we have Internet but it is through cable.

Yes. You need a router for WiFi now. There are many, many routers on the market. You need to run the cable into the router to set up a WiFi network. I have no idea where you live, but in the U.S., stores like Best Buy and Radio Shack can help you with this.

Apple has one called AirPort Express that is portable if you travel and have a need for a router on the road.

They also offer an AirPort Extreme and Time Capsule which would probably be overkill for you but you can check them out here.

No one from Apple here - this is a user-to-user forum for the Apple Thunderbolt Display. If you don't like your iPad, sell it.
If you want to ask questions about your iPad, go to the iPad community forum.

I just purchased the iPad2 with wi-fi and need to know if I can connect in hotels.

I just purchased an iPad 2 with wi-fi and will be traveling to Europe and wanted to know if I will be able to connect to the Internet from hotel rooms and Internet cafes?

For some hotels, you may need an Airport Express

HT4628 I have internet at school, but i cannot connect because i've tried entering a password in before, and they changed the password. So now when i try and connect, it will just fail to connect and not ask me to enter the password in for the network.

Ive tried to connect to the school wi-fi before, and it failed. now i just got given the password and i can't even connect to it, because it won't give me the enter password option. And i can't even forget the network because its not saved on my mac!
So now whenever im at school, it will try and attempt to connect to the school wifi, but always fail due to an issue? and i don't have the option to re-enter password! Even tho the network isnt saved on my macbook!
PLEASE HELP!

Nyxaelia, you can create a new Location in the Network System Prefs where you could have one setup for school and one setup for home. When you have more than one Location in Network, you will get a Locations menu in the Apple Menu where you can switch easily between the two.
On the Location popup menu, select Edit Locations. Select Automatic, then select Duplicate Location from the gear menu button. Rename each one for the specific location, and set each one up as required.

Hi, I own a I phone 4, a ipad 1 and just purchased a ipad 3, I have 15g worth of icould data but my photostream doesn't stream all of my photos to my new ipad when connected to wifi???? It appears to be streaming photos from the last 10 or so days but no more? I have enough storage on my new ipad??

Photo Stream does not count towards your iCloud storage plan.
Your iOS devices keep a rolling collection of your last 1000 Photos in the Photo Stream album. Only photos taken within the last thirty days and since Photo Stream was activated will be synced.

What make, model and version router do you have?
Is MAC address filtering turned ON in your router?
Do you have a limit on the number of connections set in your router?
What type of security are you using, i,e, WEP, WPA, WPA2?
Have you tried restarting your router? (remove power for 30 seconds and restart)
Does your iPad 2 work on any other networks? Starbucks, Borders, etc

I just purchased an iPad 3 and it works great with most of my email accounts, but with an imap account from school it will download the content of the folders in the account, but doesn't download the messages in the inbox.

Hi,
I just purchased an iPad 3 and it works great with most of my email accounts, but with an imap account from school it will download the content of the folders in the account, but doesn't download the messages in the inbox. I have deleted and created the account several times. I have checked the status of the account and it's active and works either from safari or from my Mac or iPhone. I have turned off both my Mac and my iPhone as not to have competing devices, I can even send emails from the account successfully. It simply won't download the content of the inbox. Help!

Hi Csound1, thanks. The email host is 1and1.co.uk, however, i am going to fess up and make myself look like a plonker now -
the email account in question was set up in Outlook as POP - stupid, stupid, stupid me, wasted an afternoon on this! I have now changed the Outlook account to IMAP and Mail.app works perfectly - and looks much nicer than Outlook did. Im in the middle of converting from Windows to a Mac, and still finding my way around the Mac
The lesson learned, never assume - always double check! All my other email addresses with 1and1 are all imap, except this one, and it happened to be the first one I set up in the Mail.app. (bows head in disgrace!)
Thank you anyway for attempting to help me!
Cheers

Owned an iMac for 5 years - have no idea what my password is for my AirPort Express which I set up about 3 years ago My wife has just purchased an iPad 2 and it is asking for my forgotten password - how do I retrieve it ?

How do I recover my password set up when I added AirPort Express to my iMmac a few years ago.. My wife has just purchased an iPad and it is asking for that "forgotten" password to make the Wi Fi connection ?

From the airport express user manual:
If You Forgot Your Network or AirPort Express Password
You can clear the AirPort network or AirPort Express password by resetting AirPort
Express.
To reset your password:
1 Use the end of a straightened paper clip to press and hold the reset button for one
second.
2 Select your AirPort network.
On a Macintosh computer:
=> Use the AirPort status menu in the menu bar to select the network created by AirPort
Express (the network name does not change).
3 Open AirPort Utility, located in the Utilities folder in the Applications folder on a
Macintosh
4 Select your AirPort Express and click Configure.
5 In the dialog that appears, make the following changes:
Â Reset the AirPort Express password.
Â Turn on encryption to activate password protection for your AirPort network. If you
turn on encryption, enter a new password for your AirPort network.
6 Click OK.
AirPort Express restarts to load the new settings

I just purchased my Ipad 2 64g. the main reason i purchased was to use in my airplane for live gps tracking. i have downloaded the software with the moving map and the gps will not connect in the air. it works periodically while standing outside. Any sug?

I just purchased my Ipad 2 64g. The main reason I purchased was to use the gps moving map feature. I have the paid AP but the gps does not work. Do I need an auxiliarry GPS?

Is it just the wireless 64g, or the one with 3G? If just wireless, you purchased the wrong one. Also, if you just wanted GPS tracking, a GPS would have been a cheaper solution, no monthly charges.

My daughter has an iPod touch using my apple ID, I just purchased an iPhone with the same ID. Is there a way to keep my stuff seperate from her ipod but still share the iTunes account?

My daughter has an iPod touch using my apple ID, I just purchased an iPhone with the same ID. Is there a way to keep my stuff seperate from her ipod but still share the iTunes account? I was looking through the photo section on my iPhone and found pics my daughter has taken from her iPod. I do not want my pics, emails, etc to show up on her iPod. Is there a way to stop this from happening or do I have to create a different Apple ID for her to use instead?

If you have iOS 8 on all devices then:
If under 13 years create a new ID for her by:
Family Sharing and Apple IDs for kids - Apple Support
The use family sharing to share apps
http://www.apple.com/ios/ios8/family-sharing/
Family purchases and payments - Apple Support
If underage and not i)S on all devices then you have to create an ID for here under your name and supervise it use:
Create a NEW account using these instructions so yo do not have to use a credit card.
Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before. Make sure you specify a birthdate that results in being at least 13 years old
Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card
More details of how:
http://ipadhelp.com/ipad-help-tips-tricks/how-to-get-free-apps-from-the-app-stor e-without-a-credit-card/
Use the new ID on her iPod but only for:
Settings>Messages>Send and Receive
Settings>FaceTime
Settings>GameCenter
and Settings>iCloud if you want her to have separate Contacts Calendar and some other things.
Continue to use the same/common Apple ID for Settings>iTunes and App stores so you can share purchases.

I have an iPad1 and just purchased an iPad Air, both on the same iTunes account. Is it possible to UNSYNC the two iPads. I would like to use the iPad1 as a library for my frequent guests: KINDLE, AUDIBLE,

I have an iPad1 and just purchased an iPad Air, both of which are on the same iTunes account. Is it possible to UNSYNC the two iPads with the purpose of using the iPad1 as a "Bare-Bones" library for my frequent guests: The content of my KINDLE, AUDIBLE, & ZINIO Accounts/Apps. How would I go about doing this, if it is at all possible?

Is it possible to have an Iphone and an IPAD on the same Itunes account on a PC?
yes.
the number of mobile devices you can use with a single instance of iTunes is virtually unlimited.

I just purchased a ipad 2 and have not sync it yet. I have an old pc and would like to move the itunes library account to a newer pc that I have. Can I move the library to the ipad and sync ipods to the ipad and/or move the library to the new pc?

Perhaps this web page will help: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1229
But I must point out that leaving the iPhoto Library on the external is worth considering. Your internal drive would be better off without having to carry the photos.
When you booted with the external connected and you were asked for the library, did you try navigating to the Library in on the external drive?
