IPad 2 (3g or Not?)

Considering buying iPad 2 and need to know why I would need 3g version if i have iPhone (verizon) - couldn't I just use the iPhone wireless signal somehow to get internet service to my iPad if I was not near a wireless hot spot?

The WiFi only iPads do not have a GPS, it comes with the 3G chip. I would recomend getting the iPad with 3G even if you never activate the service.

  • My ipad mini does not find my Nokia bh-111 Bluetooth headset, yet all other devices do and pair without issue

    I use my bh-111 with my windows phone, my laptop and my wife's android jellybean phone without issue but the ipad mini will not find it, any ideas?

    Hello Jamessm,
    I would try the troubleshooting steps in the following article about Bluetooth and iOS devices.

    My iPad 2 does not find my Big Blue Live speaker! What do I do?

    Make sure you're using an original apple ipad charger and plugging into a wall outlet to charge, not computer.
    Its possible that the charger is bad and may need replacing.
    Its also possible that the battery has gone bad and it may need replacing.
    Apple does offer battery replacement, you will have to send to them or take it to an apple store.

    Before you do that though, I would recommend reading through these links first for some more information on how your battery works, needs to be charged and maintained.
    Apple Batteries - iPad
    http://www.apple.com/batteries/ipad.html
    Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.

    OK great info!
    I found 2 possible ethernet to USB adapters:
    By "Plugable":  USB 2.0 to ethernet LAN wired network adapter - seems this will work, but I'll contact Plugable.
    2. Apple USB Ethernet Adapter
    Easily connect your MacBook Air computer to an Ethernet network with the Apple USB Ethernet Adapter. Small and light, it connects to the USB 2.0 port of your MacBook Air and provides an RJ-45 connector that supports 10/100BASE-T performance.  BUT NOT SURE IF THIS WILL WORK ON ANYTHING BUT a MacBook Air…
    One person commented: 
    This little gem used to be the device of choice for adding a second Ethernet interface to a Mac Mini Server and I'd been using one that way for about a year. After doing a software update to 10.6.6 it stopped working. Forewarned is forearmed – it appears that Apple is finally enforcing the MacBook Air system requirement.
    Thanks for any additional comments.

    My iPad 4 does not show up on my TV screen when in AirPlay mirroring mode using WiFi.  The iPad displays AirPlay set to TV with the Mirroring On (green).
    My iPad IOS software is 8.2 and my Apple TV software is at 7.1.  The TV displays the Apple Menu.  The “Settings” does however displays the General menu allowing me to see:
    Apple software:          7.1 (7003)
    Apple TV:                   Model No. A1464, Part No. MD199B/A
    Signal Strength shows 5 circles.
    It does not display the iPad screen but when I use the BT Sport App I can hear the sound but there is no video.  I have searched the internet for a solution to no avail. The problem first arose when the IOS was at 8.1+ but it worked correctly briefly when I updated to IOS 8.2.  Can you help please?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
    Check AirPlay is turned on on the Apple TV (turn it off and on if it already is)
    Check that both devices are on the same network (Settings > Wifi, on the mobile device and Settings > General > Network, on the Apple TV).
    Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
    Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
    Restart your router. (Also try removing it’s power cord for at least 30 seconds)
    Restart your mobile device.

  • My Ipad 2 is not working. Is not tuening On. I dont' know what's happening. I'm trying to turn on and I have no ansewr. Screen is out, nothing come to the screen.

    My Ipad 2 is not working. Is not turning On. I dont' know what's happening. I'm trying to turn it on and I have no answer. Screen is out, nothing come to the screen. Battery is ok at 60% charged when I turned off last time, and after minutes when I turned on, it not worked anymore. If somebody have an idea what may happenning, please let me know.

    I don't know what yu mean by "screen is out" but try this.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds 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.

  • My iPad 2 will not restore using iTunes. It keeps telling me - the iPad "iPad" could not be restored. An unknow error occurred (4) - I have tried every suggestion I could find so far. Any ideas as to what I can do?

    My iPad 2 will not restore using iTunes. It just quit a week or two ago and showed that I had to connect to iTunes.
    When I do the "restore and update" it does not complete the "verifying iPad restore with Apple" and then shows the following message:
    The iPad "iPad" could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (40).
    I have tried it a number of times. Also turned of anti-virus and firewall. Tried on different computers. All resulted in the same message. The iPad is only 2 1/2 years old, so I hope it can be fixed.
    Does anyone have a solution?

    I Have the same issue on a brand new iPad mini 2. My battery is only lasting up to 5 hours. I went on chat with Apple last night and they said my battery is fine and its a Safari issue. I'm literally losing 1% every 3-4 minutes. I tried recalibrating my battery, signing out of iCloud, shutting off all locations, turning off background app refresh, restoring network settings, restoring all, and finally restoring from iTunes with no luck. This is just awful. I got this iPad so I could use it on my long flight for a trip I have coming up, and unfortunately, it's not going to last that long, plus I'm concerned about how many times i will be recharging my battery because of this since battery's do have a life cycle dependent on the number of charges. This is frustrating and needs to be fixed ASAP and addressed by Apple.
    By the way, Apple told me to bring my device to the Apple Store because it's still under warranty. That's great and all, but I'm going to waste my time if there is no fix for this issue.
    Ok so you want Apple to address the problem, but yet you don't want to take it to them just in case they can't fix it? What if they can fix it? Complaining here certainly won't fix it.
