If I buy a ipad mini with cellular, and not sign up for cellular service, can I use the onboard GPS, or does it depend on the cell signal since it is aGPS?

Right. But as I understand it, the aGPS is a function that speeds location using cell signals, but isn't necessary for the GPS signal. I can buy a plugin device that is a real GPS that I can use with my iPad mini. However, I would need an app for maps. I was wondering if anyone had used one of these.

  • TS1646 Can I purchase an iPad or iPad mini with cash and not a credit card

    Please help me

    I remember seeing someone else having an issue that you must at least have part paymemt on a non-gift card credit card. For some reason it is required that a name from that be attached to the pruchase. No idea why, but that seemed to be the restriction. (I think they might have been in the store, but others reported the same thing).

  • I just bought an new ipad mini with wifi and cellular. Is there any way to send text messages to people and contacts that do not have iphones such as friends with blackberrys or a samsung galaxy smartphone.

    I just bought an new ipad mini with wifi and cellular. Is there any way to send text messages to people and contacts that do not have iphones such as friends with blackberrys or a samsung galaxy smartphone from this ipad. Everytime I try to send a message to a person that does not have an Apple product ( Iphone or Ipad ) it comes up saying contact is not registered for iMessage and wont send it. I can only send them a message from my iPhone 4 instead. Do I have to install a new App from the App store to send these non iMessage cell users a message?

    No, it does not. There are some apps which will turn the screen white so you can use that as a flashlight, but it does not have an LED camera flash.

    iOS device backups are stored in your iTunes library.
    Move your iTunes library to an external drive.

  • I received a text today while at work about iCloud keychain verification code. I have not signed up for it or anything that uses it. I work out of the city with limited internet access so not sure why I would be getting this. Is my info safe??

    I received a text today while at work about iCloud keychain verification code. I have not signed up for it or anything that uses it. I work out of the city with limited internet access so not sure why I would be getting this. I only got this number about a month ago. Apparently someone else had the number before because I get texts from his family members wondering whats going on. I got one yesterday and the person didn't seem to thrilled that the number was cutoff and today I got 2 texts about iCloud Keychain which I don't even know what it is. Seems suspicious to me. If the person who use to own the number is doing it he should know it is not his number anymore because he obviously didn't pay his bills.  I'm not too sure about iCloud Keychain so just want to know my info safe?? It says it can store credit card numbers which is what gets me worried. Frankly I think it's pretty stupid to save that kind if information with any kind of app. But I don't want some random person trying to access my personal information because they are bitter they lost their number.  Please let me know as soon as possible so I can change passwords or anything that is needed.
    thanks

    If it were me, I would go to my carrier and get a new number. Since you have only had it for a month, the inconvenience would be minimal.

  • IPad Mini with RD and ipad mini

    hello again...
    At last i ordered for 32gb ipad mini with retina display. Yet to receive...
    And there now is a small voice in side my heart which says that price comparison b/w iPad mini with retina display and iPad mini is considerably more. I feel that is it worth giving more money for retina display'?..
    Could anybody help me to stop that voice..
    And my choice of 32gb ipad mini with retina dispaly is fine against iPad air with all its light weight and all other fascinating features??...
    Thanks,

    I Have the same problem. It started with using Safari, so I posted a question and then advised to do a cold reboot(home button +  power button), it helped fix some other bugs, but not the reboot. I also reset all settings in system Settings. It fixed some more bugs, but reboots still happen on YouTube app now. I think this may be a modem driver problem, because it only happened to me when I was communicating with the Internet.
    BY the way, the keyboard after iOS 8 update ***** too. It gets stuck on Cap and double-letters occasionally.

  • Have an iPad mini with latest software upgrade 8.1.2. Verizon Messaging  on use after working for 1 yr. deleted app and downloaded fresh app. Same problem. Neither Apple support or Verizon store support could find problem. Sometimes can type txt befor it

    Have an iPad mini with latest software upgrade 8.1.2. Verizon Messaging app crashes on use after one year with no problems. I deleted the app and downloaded a clean version. It crashes whether or not I have any apps running in the background. Sometimes I can type part of a message before it crashes. Other times it crashes as soon as I try to use the app at all. Neither Apple Support nor Verizon store staff could find any reason for the problems. Any ideas??
    THE TEXT SHOULD SAY THE PROBLEM IS WITH THE APP CRASHING Message was edited by: Steady_RI

    Steady_RI, thanks for keeping us posted. Did you uninstall that application by pressing/holding down the icon until the (X) appears? Tap the (X) to delete it. Once the application has been deleted, you will need to reset the network settings on your device in Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings. Power that device off/on and then download the application again. Additionally, we also recommend that you disable Wi-Fi and connect to our network to test the messaging feature again.

    Hi antony136,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If you are not able to hear clearly through your iPad mini speakers, start with the troubleshooting steps in this article:

    Note that some steps refer to troubleshooting on an iPhone, but the steps can help with an iPad mini as well.

  • Find my iPad with 3G but not signed up for service

    Hi,
    Has anyone been able to get the "Find my iPad" feature from MobileMe to work on a 3G iPad that isn't signed up for 3G service? I supposed I should just enable my 3G, but I wasn't going to bother until I needed to use my iPad outside of WiFi areas.
    I have done everything that is supposed to enable find my iPad (push notifications, enable find my ipad, add a passcode, etc.), but MobileMe just says my iPad is offline. It finds my iTouch just fine with all of the same settings.

    Yes, it will even work with 3G off but wifi on. It seems to use a connection (either way) and GPS to located the iPad. I tried it before activing an AT&T account and with cellular data off.
