IPad on the plane

When I bought my iPad I feel in love with it. I thought the flash thing wouldn't be an issue but now I'm currently on a plane and due to applications and their geographical issues, like abc application states you are over international waters when actually I'm on a flight from NYC to San Francisco, you can't watch any videos. This is an issue. Almost no videos if ur on wifi in a plane which really isn't cool!

Wifi on planes is very new. The amount of bandwidth is very minimal and the technology causes high latency. Add those two problem together and then consider a lot of people trying to use the Internet on the plane at the same time, you have a recipe for very slow Internet.
Personally, I would appreciate if the Airlines would let people know that they shouldn't download huge files (like movies) or stream movies over the airplane Internet until the technology improves.
This really isn't a flash problem, it's a matter of people who are used to fast bandwidth getting very little.

  • HT4157 I have an iPhone with a data plan through AT&T.  I just got an iPad.  Do I need to set up a separate data plan, or can I use my iPad under the plan I have set up for my iPhone?

    I just got an iPad, and am trying to figure out how to get it going.  I have an iPhone with a data plan through AT&T.  Do I need to set up a separate account for the iPad, or can I use it under my existing data plan?

    You need a completely different data plan for your iPad which you set up on the device itself and it is billed to a credit/debit card. You cannot share other plans and the iPad account will not appear on your iPhone or any other AT&T account.

  • I  purchased a used IPad in the USA to send to our charity in Ghana. It was posted from Nevada and was never delivered. I have purchased another Ipad and want to use the Apps I purchased on the missing Ipad? What can I do?

    To Clarify above. I purchased a 1st generation Ipad to send to our charity in Ghana. I posted it off from Nevada US Postal service and it never arrived inl Takaradi Ghana. My belief is that as the customs declaration said "Ipad" it was too good an oppertunity for a postal worker between the US and Ghana to get a free Ipad.
    After waiting a few months to confirm the loss, I purchased another Ipad at Schipol airport Netherlands as I was travelling back to Ghana this week. The cost was considerably more than the used Ipad and I am now out far more than I budgeted for.
    My question is: How can I download the paid apps I had on the stolen Ipad on to the one I have just purchased. I have all the details concerning the stolen Ipad but no the seriel number. Any help appreciated.

  • HT201472 is it possible to track an ipad through seeing what purchases have been made on the ipad using the serial number?

    Does anyone know if there's a way to track an ipad that has been stolen other than the methods already commonly used. For example is it possible to somehow use the ipads serial number in order to see any payments made on that specific device or for the device?

  • How do i track down my ipad using the serial number_

    o0kay i lost my ipad 2 and i really want it back or atleast i want all my data erased. i have bank statements and my email,. so in other words anyone that gets a hold of my ipad can logg into my account and get all my informaion and money ... i have my serial number so i was thinking .
    since you need to log into itunes in order for someone to import or add songs or apps into the ipad wouldnt it be easy for the apple people to tell me whenever its used or atleast where its been used or plugged into ...

    Had iPad 2 stolen in a house break in. Did not have the handy app on it. Sense would say that AT&T, the wireless provider, could still find it if it's switched on. Any ideas?

    The serial number, if registerd with apple, can be found in your support profile. It is also on the box that it came in.

  • My iPAD cellular data plan.  I no longer know which old e-mail I originally used to set up my account.  Any info on how to recover a lost account access?  The only thing on line is a lost password function but it send info an e-mail no longer valid..

    My iPAD cellular data plan was set up with an old e-mail account and I no longer have access to this e-mail.  The password is forgotten.  I am unable to access my cellular data plan to update my 3G.  Any help on account access when you no longer can remember the access information?

    I called AT&T at 1-800-331-0500 and asked for Ipad support. They are going to send me a new SIM Card. This  will solve the problem. Paul

    Yes, but all the data from your sisters PC will be erased and replaced with yours, which is probably what you want anyhow.
