IPad 2 - From US to Europe (Things to take care ?)

Hello,
I have bought an Ipad 2 (AT&T Version ) from US. My friend is going to bring it over to Switzerland for me next week and I will always use it here. My question is, does she need to start it up in the US once before I can use it here in Switzerland ? If yes, does the Ipad 2 come with an AT&T sim card already installed for her to start up?
Is there anything else that she may need to take care, when getting it to Switzerland from US ? Or can I directly use it here, on inserting a local sim card ?
Many thanks !

It doesn't have to be activated in the US. It will come (I think) with an AT&T micro-sim installed, but that doesn't have to be activated or used (3G doesn't have to be activated until you want to start using 3G on it), you should just be able to swap in a local micro-sim in Switzerland

My dad bought an ipad 2 of my uncle for cheap since its a little broken but i tried to earse the ipad so all the password and thing from my uncle go away but i was stuck on the activation when i need an email and password but my uncle cant remember it because he has medical problems and he does not remember the email since he has alot of emails he thinks he remembers the password since he always keep the same password. So does anyone know what i can do because the ipad is locked and my parents are like very mad at me xD

Activation Lock cannot be bypassed, you will have to recover the email and password used to activate it.

How can I buy an unlocked iPad 2 from online store

I want to ask if I can buy an un locked iPad 2 from the online store
notice that I am not in the United States and I am going to used it out side it

I guess there's huge differences in mobile telephony and and mobile Internet understanding in US and Europe. Mobile market in Europe is much more liberated and unified at the same time (GSM being the only widely adopted system in Europe - so far at least). The question in the first post was really simple:
If I buy AT&T (GSM) version of iPad 2 will I be able to use it with other GSM micro-sim cards from other carriers worldwide? Or is iPad locked to AT&T USA like iPhone is.
Then all of a sudden people started to talk about Verizon and AT&T differences, eBay thing etc - it is not the point.
So let's wait for someone who can get their hands on iPad 2 GSM (AT&T), travel to Europe, swap the sim and then confirm here for our benefit.

How can I control an iPad screen from a Mac

I have a friend who needs help using her iPad. She lives 1500 miles away. Is there any way I can control her iPad remotely from my iMac?

"Control" would be ideal, so I could take complete control of her iPad and then show her how to do things as if I was sitting there. Think "Remote Access".
But "Share" would be almost as good. At least then I could see her screen and be on the phone explaining what to do and watching her cursor movements.
The way we try to do it now is she holds up her iPad during an iChat (video) session, but the screen is too hard to see to be of any use, and helping her this way is virtually impossible.

New Ipad missing from the sealed box

I bought an Ipad mini from Walmart for Thanksgiving. When I opened the box there is no Ipad .This looks like an organised theft and I am confused as what to do next ?Please help

I heard the same thing happened with a couple of iPads at Walmart a year or two ago. The store management apologized and gave a full refund or another iPad box which actually had an iPad in it. It should work out the same for you.
For some reason it's only Walmart. I wonder where they get their iPads.

Try #5 below.
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)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

AT&T and europe all use GSM . There is no CDMA in Europe
A genuine unlocked iPhone 4/4S from Europe will work fine
A similar unlocked iP5 will work on 3G but NOT on 4G as the
European iP5 does not have the 4G bands suitable for use in US
and the warranty will not be valid in the US it is not international

Upgrade my ipad 4 from iOS 6.1 to iOS 8.1.2?

What should I expect, good and bad when I upgrade my ipad 4 from iOS 6.1 to iOS 8.1.2? I'm starting to have crashing problems running with iOS 6. Looks like I'm being forced to upgrade, but I'm not reading good things about iOS 8.1.2.

I have an iPad 4 and I have it updated to the latest update. It works perfectly fine and how it should be working. I got it November 2013 and I have had 0 problems with it.

I restored my iPad 2 from the iTunes backup but my music, audio books and iBooks are all missing.

I restored my iPad 2 from the iTunes backup but my music, audio books and iBooks are all missing. It seems only the Apps were restored and settings. Anyone else had this problem?

Oh and the bizarre thing was that when I opened iBooks for the first time after the restore it showed all the books in the open collection and then they vanished in front of my eyes!

When i buy a ipad mini from verizon will it work in india

when i buy a ipad mini from verizon will it work in india

BobTheFisherman, thank you
I'm grateful that you helped me with understanding it. Now I get it.
Dah•veed, with all due respect,
What I asked about is the same thing ahmedsamiul707 asked about. I just wanted to know something more about the same thing. When you read the forum, you can see many threads which are exactly the same. Why add another thread if you have the same question? Only wanted an explanation. Was that so hard?
So to make it clear - as BobTheFisherman provided - all iPads are unlocked.

Restore new iPad Mini from iPad 1 backup. Ican update new apps from Apple store but most of my apps have been showing the Waiting status for over 12 hours. Store shows them as installed. What gives?

If the downloads are stalled or "waiting" - try these suggestions.
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 - let go of the buttons.
Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Go back to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Sign in and then try to update again. Tap one waiting icon only if necessary to start the download stream.
You can also try deleting the waiting icons - tap and hold down on an icon until it wiggles - the tap the X on the icon to delete it. Then try to download again.
You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your app preferences and device settings again.
If all else fails, download the updates or the apps in iTunes on your computer and then sync the content to your iPad.

I bought my ipad 2 from a friend I am trying to connect to my itunes on my computer and it will not recognize it. It keeps telling me that IPad cant be used because apple mobile device service is not started. can you help

I bought my IPad 2 from a friend. I have reset to clear all of his information out. I am trying to connect it to my computer to sync my itunes and I keep getting the message that my IPad can't be used because Apple Mobile Device Service is not started can anyone help with this?

I cannot find "Other" devices. I found Apple Mobile Device under Universal Bus Controllers but cannot see "recovery mode" or any other status. I use Windows Vista.
When I try to restart Apple Mobile Device Service I get the following message: "The Apple Mobile Device Service on Local Computer started then stopped. Some services stop automatically if they are not in use by other services or programs". What does this mean?
During the last 48 hours I was able to see my iPad in iTunes only one time during many attemnpts to connect . I haven't been able to see it during the llast several attempts.
Any suggestions? The standard suggestions have not worked: i.e. stop then start AMDS; tuurn off iPad and PC, then restart both and reconfrom iPad to PC; reload iTunes.
