Ipad mini can't tether to android phone internet

Please can somebody advise why my ipad won't connect to my tethered android's internet connection. The tethered connection is discoverable but when I attempt to connect the error message "unable to join network" is displayed. My computer and another android tablet can connect successfully use the tethered connection. Even if the tethered connection is open without a password the ipad still cannot connect. Grateful for any advice.

i'm having the same problem too. you might want to use alternative by tether wifi or usb.
it might be 7.0.3 bug

Ipad mini can send messages to android but ipad mini data only cannot, why?

My husband has ipad mini data only, I have ipad mini cellular and data ( but I never buy cellular plan except for trips, so only use wifi)I have both updated to ios8 latest version. I tested this: I sent ipad messages (using message app already on ipad) and sent messages to my own iphone 6 and my husbands ipad and someone elses iphone and then to an ANDROID phone, and it worked perfectly ( gave me a code to enter to do it) but when I tried sending to android phone off of my husbands ipad mini, it did red error message saying not delivered. same household, same wifi in same room, so I cannot figure out why his won't go through to android but mine will. bought ipad mini's same year, same model except one(his) data only, but both use same wifi (home) what do I need to do to make his send those text messages? that is what is actually being sent, text messages from the apple message app on both. please advise step by step and no I don't use cellular data on mine, just wifi).

text messages from iPad are actually sent from iPhone.
on iPhone, go to Settings > Messages
if you have the same Apple ID signed in from other devices, you should see a "Text Message Forwarding", tap and you will see a switch for other devices.
1. so just make sure your husband's iPhone and iPad are both updated to the latest iOS 8.
2. sign in iMessage from Settings on both devices with the same Apple ID.
3. check the "Text Message Forwarding" option on iPhone, follow the tips given to complete.
good luck!

How can I sync my android phone calendar with my iPad

How can I sync my android phone with my iPad ?

To move Contacts, calendar data, etc. information from Android to iOS you can use third party Apps on both devices the Apps will move this information to the "Cloud" with one App and back to your other device with another App.
See, for example, PhoneCopy at http://www.phonecopy.com/en/

I'm using an iPad mini can I make calls without using face time?

I'm using an iPad mini can I make calls without using face time?

You can use apps such as Skype For iPad from the app store, but if you are asking whether you can make 'normal' phone calls with it then no, you can't.

Can I text an Android phone from an iPod touch?

See Title:
Can I text an Android phone from an iPod touch?

If you use an texting app
The Ipod does not allow android texting on Imessage because it is messaging between only Ipods,Ipads,or any other apple product.
Download Textnow or Textfree i recommend those two apps

Can I use an Android phone without a data plan?

Please read all of this before responding. You will not be helping when you show a clear misunderstanding of my question.
I do not need a data plan. Everywhere I go has Wi-Fi, and I am perfectly content to not have internet connectivity in the event that I don't have Wi-Fi. What I want to know is if I can buy a phone from a store (not from Verizon or a contract renewal) and replace my current phone with it without needing a data plan. There is NO software/hardware reason why I couldn't, and the only reason I would need to is as a Verizon requirement.
As an additional question, if Verizon doesn't allow it, is there any workaround?
I want an android phone not to have ubiquitous connection to social media. I want an android phone to have platform to run software on in addition to making/receiving calls and text messages. I would not utilize a data plan and it would be a waste of money.
Additional info:
Can I use an Android phone that I buy from a retailer on my Verizon plan without adding data? There's no hardware or software reason why I need a data plan, and there IS a point to having a smart phone without a data plan: Wi-Fi. I don't need to have redundant internet access. The only reason conceivable for why I'd need a data plan is because Verizon wants more money for no additional service (I wouldn't USE connectivity provided by a data plan). I don't want to have a mobile platform for running software and a phone filling my pockets, I'd like it to be in one. All the connectivity I need is for calls and text messaging.

I stand corrected!
Here's an article on the subject with a good discussion and a somewhat dodgy suggestion for non-Verizon service: http://news.cnet.com/8301-1035_3-57555091-94/can-you-ditch-your-smartphone-data-plan-for-wi-fi/.
Here's a discussion on a T-Mobile forum laying out the options (as of last November): http://support.t-mobile.com/message/198200. It sounds like it would meet one of the OP's desires: "Can I use an Android phone that I buy from a retailer on my Verizon plan without adding data?" Not on Verizon, but probably on T-Mobile.

Since updating to IOS 8.1 on ipad mini can't download apps. Apps show "waiting." Have reset to new condition with no improvement. Any solution?

Since updating to IOS 8.1 on ipad mini can't download apps from iTunes store. Apps show "waiting." Have reset to new condition with no improvement. Also turned off Wi-Fi and re-connected. Any solution? Thanks,

If you restored your iPad as new, and it still didn't help, I don't know if anything in here will help. in any event, I have posted this boilerplate of suggestions many times in the past and the suggestions in here have worked for others at one time or another. Feel free to give them a try.
1. Tap the "waiting" icon and see if you can pause it. If it does pause, then tap it again and see if it will resume. If that works, repeat the same steps for each "waiting" icon.
2. 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.
3. Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. If you see a downloads tab in the lower right corner, then there is a download in iTunes.
4. 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.
5. 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. Apps may also be able to be deleted in Settings>General>Usage>Storage if you cannot get the X to pop up on the icon.
6. You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered.
7. Reset your router. Unplug it from power for about 30 seconds and then plug it back in again.

My ipad mini can't locate me on maps..how do i fix it?

my ipad mini can't locate me on maps..how do i fix it?

Is this a WiFi-only iPad, or a WiFi+Cellular unit? If it's a WiFi-only unit, location depends on the WiFi router being registered in Apple's database. If it's not, no location can be returned. I've read that if you have someone with an iPhone with location services turned on connect to that WiFi router, that will update Apple's databases, but I don't know if that's correct and if it is how quickly that will happen.
If you have a WiFi+Cellular iPad, make sure that Location Services are turned on:

I have a Netgear WNR2000 router and an Edimax EW-7438RPn wifi range extender. I have gotten the range extender to work well with my MacBook Air, however, while my iPhone 3Gs and iPad mini can pick up the wireless signal from the range extender, they cannot get to the Internet through it. No IP Address, Subnet Mask, Router, or DNS appear in the details on either the iPhone or the iPad mini. How do I get the iPhone and the iPad to connect to the Internet. It seems that the problem is with the iPhone and iPad, since the MacBook Air works just fine with this set up.

Junglemania,
Go into the setup page of the EW-7438RPn. Go to Wireless Advanced Settings. There is a WMM settings. Make sure the WMM is enabled.
This may help you out.

Try this first - Reset 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.
Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

I have a data plan on my iPad? Can you tether from an iPad to a laptop for Internet connection?

Yes if your iPad is a New iPad and you have a "hotspot" plan from your provider.

Can i use my android phone with app store gift card

can i use my android phone with app store gift card

Not with a gift card for the iTunes Store, anyway. Apps from the iTunes Store are for Apple's devices only. If you have a gift card for Google's app store, that would be a different matter.
