I plan to buy an ipad in the USA when I go on holiday in the summer, will the 3g work in the UK and if so, do I need to buy any particular carrier

Also, I've been told that my iphone could act as a router as I have unlimited data, would I therefore need to get the 4g or just use my phone with the ipad.

The New iPad will use 3G in the UK. 4G will not work in the UK. New iPad specifications http://www.apple.com/ipad/specs/
Why would you get and use a hotspot plan for your phone when the iPad has 3G built in? Unless of course your phone plan includes hotspot functionality already. Typically a hotspot plan is extra cost. You will have to check with your current phone plan provider as to whether or not your unlimited plan can be used as a hotspot plan. And your phone also has to be capable of being a hotspot.
As for carrier if you decide you can't use your phone as a hotspot, you will need to get an iPad data plan from a local carrier that offers the iPad data plan.

Jonmarie-
Try resetting (rebooting) the iPad. Hold both the Home and Sleep buttons for several seconds until the Apple logo appears. Ignore the "Slide to power off" arrow. The iPad will restart after a couple of minutes. Resetting this way will not hurt anything and sometimes solves mysterious problems.

Using US ipad in the UK and buying iphone 4 in the US to bring back to UK

I am thinking of buying a ipad 2 in the US when I visit there to bring back to the UK. I will then be heading home to Australia next year. Can someone help me to confirm:
1) is there any issues (eg power differences, adaptors, getting wifi set up) buying an ipad in the US and then using it in the UK? Do I just need to get a UK Sim (can you get a prepaid sim for ipads rather than locking into a contract?) I was going to buy the 16gb wifi on amazon http://www.amazon.com/Apple-MC769LL-Tablet-Black-NEWEST/dp/tech-data/B0013FRNKG/ ref=de_a_smtd, this seems to be pretty much the same spec as the US version on amazon http://www.amazon.com/Apple-MC769LL-Tablet-Black-NEWEST/dp/tech-data/B0013FRNKG/ ref=de_a_smtd only difference I can see is the UK version says '
Wireless Connectivity: 802.11 a/b/g/n, Bluetooth 2.1 EDR' and the US version says '
Wireless Type: 802.11abg '
2) I presume if there's no issues for 1), then there shouldn't be any issues when I return to Australia.
3) Is it possible to buy the iphone 4 handset in the US and then use it in the UK?
thanks guys

If you are getting the wifi ony version then you don't need a sim card - you only need a micro-sim card for the 3G/wifi versions. If you do get a 3G version in the US then get the AT&T version as they are GSM/sim based; the Verizon model is CDMA based and doesn't use sim cards.
Wifi is the same.
I don't know whether the iPhones are locked or not.

My wireless keyboard no longer connects with my iMac since changing the batteries. It now shows as not connected, not paired and not configured. A friend recently connected his iPad to the iMac and since then the problem started. Any ideas to resolve this

a friend told me that he wants my os x cd for my macbook pro to upgrade his imac.
The discs that come with your Mac are "machine specfic" and cannot be used on another Mac.

I upgraded to 7.1.2 on my IPad yesterday. I cannot now get these apps: facebook, iPhoto's, iBooks and some others. I can't update the Economist or Bloomberg apps. I cannot delete the apps and reinstall. I did a reset. Any ideas?

Are there any parental controls on the iPad or iTunes?

That's normal. Most USB ports dont' put out enough power to meet the iPad's requirements. (It says 'not charging' even though there is a trickle charge...it will charge over USB, but it'll take hours and hours)
Your iPad is best charged with the supplied charger plugged into the wall.

When you say that the orientation lock doesn't work, we have no way of knowing if that means that the screen is locked in one position only, or that it will not lock in one position only. So try something g very basi and reboot your iPad.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
In the camera app, you have to swipe up and down on the screen to move between photo, video and the square photo mode options, so are you even in the correct mode to take videos?

Yes if you buy a ipad on the street, and don't realize it has a iCloud ID lock. Is their a solution?

If something is too good to be true it probably is. As Jonathan says, you are most likely in possession of stolen merchandise (seriously if you had an expensive electronic to sell would YOU sell it on a street corner where it's an untracable cash transaction or would you sell it online or to a retail place for store credit?)

My ipad will not sync with all my music and films in my itunes library. I have just carried out a restart and sync again but still not showing all my music or films.

My ipad will not sync with my library in itunes, i have music and films in my itunes library but they will not transfer to my ipad. I have just carried out a restart to factory settings and then sync of my back up but still no joy. Any suggestions?

Have you selected the content to sync to your iPad in your sync settings in iTunes. The content that you want to transfer must be selected (checked or "ticked") to sync out will not transfer when you sync.
For instance - if you want to sync music....
Connect the iPad to the computer and launch iTunes.
Click on the iPad name on the left side under devices.
Click on the Music Tab on the right.
Click on the albums or playlists that you want to sync - or the entire library if you like.
Click on the Sync Music Heading.
Click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes
This applies to all content that you want to transfer from iTunes to your iPad. Make the selections in the appropriate tabs in the iTunes window on the right.

How do I use my iPad as the display and input device for my Mac Mini?

I plan to have the following stereo configuration:
Integrated amplifier with USB input that supports up to 24/192 audio, the Peachtree Nova 125
Mac Mini with USB connection to amp, wifi to the Internet, housed in the equipment cabinet with the integrated amp, no other music source. No display or keyboard connected to the Mac Mini.
I would like to use my iPad as the display and to control the Mac Mini to run Pandora, iTunes, Spotify, podcasts, etc.
Anyone have success with this general configuration?

You need a set of apps (one for iPad and another for computer) like Team viewer or Go to my PC

Please help me on this, what happened was that i connected my ipad to the computer and the itunes library was empty although a week ago i had 48 apps on the itunes library

How can I transfer photos from an IPhone 5 to an IPad 2 using a cable. I have tried using the lightning to firewire adapter with my current lead but this only seems to allow a download from the Ipad to the Iphone and not the other way around.

The devices are not designed for transfer of that kind. Use Photo Stream as suggested by another poster, or transfer photos to your computer (a good idea anyway since they will be lost if your device needs to be reset), then use iTunes to sync them to the other devices.

I synced my iPhone with iTunes, and it deleted all my music on my computer and my iPhone except for what I'd purchased using the iPhone. The rest of my music is still on my iPad, so how do I get it from my iPad to the computer, and back on my phone?

The rest of my music is still on my iPad, so how do I get it from my iPad to the computer, and back on my phone? All my music is sitting there safely on my iPad, but whenever I try to sync it with my computer the only option I get is to wipe the iPad and replace it with the files on the computer---which is only a fraction of what I had originally. How do I fix this?? It even deleted my playlists, and I now only have some 200 songs left out of what used to be over 1000!

It can not do that all by itself.
When you plugged it in, iTunes said 'Oh goody! You got a new phone! Would you like to make it just like your old phone?'...
You explicitly said 'Yes'.
You can't undo that.
No backup of the current state of the new phone was made. It was wiped and the last backup of your old phone was restored to it.
Anything you had on the new phone is gone.

Since installing iCloud, my iPhone 3GS no longer syncs with my Outlook Calendar and Outlook Contacts. I don't know what else to try, short of resetting the iPhone and completely reloading as a new device. Any ideas, anyone?

It's good to know. The Apple instructions for loading iCloud on a PC just seem to have either overlooked or hidden this limit. The larger problem is that it partially works: partially and erratically. So clean-up is great fun.

Not Charge
- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
- Try another cable.
- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.
