IPad without mifi option

If I am understanding what I've been reading, I can get the iPad and use it strickly over wifi and not use the MIFI and the extra data plan? My plans for now is to use the iPad at home, and when traveling at hotels with wifi and other wifi hot spots.
Maybe in 2011 I will pick up a mifi for other access.
Thanks...

yup, the iPad works with wifi, when it's available.
it surprises me how pervasive wifi is; the garage in Manassas where I take my car in for work has a 20 mb/s connection; I go there just to download movies (in like 6 minutes!). Wifi's in airports, starbucks, even some rest areas along Interstate 10, 20, and 40 (others too, probably).

IPad without 3G option pairing with iPhone to surf Internet

I would like to buy a iPad 3 without the 3G option.
Question:
Can I use the iPad without 3G option to surf Internet thru iPhone hotspot when I am outside with no wifi connection ?

No, you'll need to enable Mobile Hotspot through your carrier. To access it, go to Settings<General<Network<Personal Hotspot on your iPhone. It takes a while for me to load, but again, your carrier needs to enable the hotspot feature on your plan.
About third party apps (if you're curious), such apps have been available on the App Store for very small windows of time. You need to pay each month, unless you want to jailbreak, which voids your warranty.
When you have the hotspot setup, just connect your iPad to wi-fi, and your network name will show up. Connect to it, and there ya go.

How to connect garmin 500 to ipad air. poinrless for me to buy the ipad without that option.

How do I connect a Garmin 500 to ipad air?

I'm not sure what you mean by "use the gps app". There is no gps app as such on any iOS device.
Location services, a component of iOS, can use GPS on those device with it (iPhone and cellular iPads), but as a user, you use apps to access that location data and display it or whatever.
There are geotracking, biking and hiking apps in the App store that might do just what you want. Have a look through the app store for some of the navigation apps that might be suitable replacements to the Garmin device.
Just search for cycling apps in iTunes or the App store and you should get several hits (there is one called Cycle Tracker Pro I've heard of, by a company that makes a whole host of geotracking and exercise related apps - BlueFin software).

Thanks for your response, Pennbank.
From what I understand, when I hook up my computer to my TV, the only thing I need to do, (in order for audio to be transmitted from my TV) is to 'select a device for sound output' in System Preferences. But my computer does not read or register at all that it is connected to any device. The picture is all there on my TV and the connection is there, but it is not showing me any other option to select for sound other than Internal Speakers. Here is a screen grab. The sound from my TV is totally fine when I watch it. Are you saying I might need to make an adjustment in my TV setting?

How do I copy photos from my Mac to my iPad without deleting the ones that are there?

I understand how to sync photos from my iPhoto library to my iPad. I want to copy photos from my Mac to the iPad without syncing, because syncing deletes everything on the iPad that isn't included in my sync selections. In addition,I have several iPhoto libraries and want to copy photos from each of them to the iPad. A further issue is that apparently photos can be synced from only one computer to the iPad -- how would I copy photos from a different computer? (What happens when I buy a new Mac?) I am extremely experienced with Mac, iPhoto/Aperture, iPad, etc. A year or two ago I transferred 1000 photos to the iPad but I don't remember how, and it was probably done with my previous Mac. Now I just want to add some recent photos without deleting the ones that are there. Bottom line: is there a way to add photos to an iPad without syncing and losing what's there?

You can still sync the photos and keep the photos that are already on the device. You have to include all of the albums or events in the pictures folder that you sync from. If you are using iPhoto, select that in the Sync Photos from drop down menu and then select all of the albums or events that you want to sync. Make sure to check Selected Albums, events, faces and automatically include (no events). Using that option will allow you to choose exactly which albums and events to sync.
You have to remember that all photos must be included in every sync so you cannot sync photos from iPhoto today and then try to sync photos from another folder tomorrow, or you will erase all of the photos that were synced from iPhoto. You need to maintain one main Photos syncing folder for the photos that you want to transfer to the iPad. You can have subfolders within that one main folder and you can selectively sync those subfolders. You just have to place all of the photos that you want to sync into one main iPad syncing photos folder.
There are WiFi transfer apps that allow you to transfer photos to the iPad without having to sync with iTunes. I use this one. This app (and others like it) will allow you to use multiple computers to transfer photos.

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just canceling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.

Photos are being added to my iPad, without choosing any events in iPhoto or having them sync with iCloud

Photos are being added to my iPad, without choosing any events in iPhoto or having them sync with iCloud
I just upgraded to IOS6, and now my ipad is full of pictures I did not choose to sync.
I cannot delete them without deleting them from all sources.
Actually, the message is when I go to hit EDIT, select a picture, and then choose DELETE: "This photo is used in an album. Do you want to delete it everywhere? Delete Everywhere"
Does that mean "Everywhere" on my iPad, or everywhere including whatever place on my computer it found the photos to begin with?
PLEASE HELP
Ps:
I've already done this:
To delete photos from your device
In iTunes, select the device icon in the Devices list on the left. Click the Photos tab in the resulting window.
Choose "Sync photos from."
On a Mac, choose iPhoto or Aperture from the pop-up menu.
On a Windows PC, choose Photoshop Album or Photoshop Elements from the pop-up menu.
Choose "Selected albums" and deselect the albums or collections you want to delete.
Click Apply.

You can still sync the photos and keep the photos that are already on the device. You have to include all of the albums or events in the pictures folder that you sync from. If you are using iPhoto, select that in the Sync Photos from drop down menu and then select all of the albums or events that you want to sync.

Need to sync my ipad without deleting apps.

ok, so i've been put in chrage of updating my moms iPad. so i plugged it into her comp and ran iTunes, thinking it'd be easy. apparently not. it gave me the standard "this iPad can only be synced with one library" message, even though I'm signed into her account on her computer, which is authorized for her itunes account. the only thing I can think of, is maybe the iPad is synced to her old windows laptop, and now it doesnt want to sync with the mac one.
my dilemma is, I dont want to sync with the newer computer if it means that will delete the angry birds saves on the ipad, which my younger brother has spent probably weeks of his life building up. if i do that everyone will be livid. so, how do I fix? i'm about to update iTunes and see if its just a bug, but im wondering if that doesnt work, would I be able to reinstall iTunes on the old computer and set it up, so that the apps may update to that one, then see if there's a way to transfer an iTunes backup from one computer to the next?
*hates the iTunes sync cartel* if the above doesn't work, would there be any chance this could be fixed when iOS 5 comes out, assuming i refuse the 4.3.3 update now and wait? the iPad is on 4.2.1 at the moment, by the way.

In regards to iTunes content, an iPad can be synced with an iTunes on a single computer only and photos can be transferred from a single computer only. When transferring iTunes content and photos from another computer including syncing with an empty iTunes library, all iTunes content and photos transferred from another computer will be erased from the iPad first.
You can transfer her iTunes library from her old computer that was used to sync with her iPad to her new computer per the instructions included with this link.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1751
Or iTunes includes an option to transfer iTunes content that was purchased from the iTunes store from an iPod, iPad, or iPhone, but this is for iTunes content that was purchased from the iTunes store only.
First you need to authorize her new computer with her iTunes account with iTunes if this has not already been done. With the iPad connected and without syncing, at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select Transfer Purchases From - the name of her iPad. Make sure all 3rd party apps on the iPad are now in her iTunes library on her new computer - namely this game everyone would be so distraught over if the game status were lost.
After this, create a backup for her iPad without syncing on the new computer. Right-click or Control-Click with a Mac on the iPad under Devices in the iTunes source list. At the menu window that appears, select Back Up.
Before the first sync, under the Apps tab for the iPad sync preferences with iTunes, make sure Sync Apps is selected and all apps below are selected.

Is there anyway to open a mobi format book on ipad without installing the kindle app but any other app

Is there anyway to open a mobi format book on ipad without installing the kindle app but any other app

Have you tried GoodReader? It claims to handle very large file sizes and it's very good for annotations. It's my PDF reader of choice on the iPad
From the GoodReader manual:
File types to view in GoodReader
There are two types of viewing engines - the ones that we've written ourselves, and the built-in device's standard viewing engine. Our own engines provide great flexibility and many additional features not found in the built-in engine (for example, opening very large files). The built-in engine is very powerful and knows many file formats, but has many limitations and no additional features.
Files of very big size (our own viewing engine):
very large PDF files (including password-protected). File size is not the limit. Revolutionary PDF Reflow (Extract Pure Text) mode. See Viewing PDF Files for details.
very large TXT files. See Viewing TXT Files for details.
high-resolution pictures and other graphic files (including slideshow viewing mode). See Viewing Pictures for details.
And as a free bonus - files of normal size (iOS standard viewing engine):
all file formats supported by Safari engine: Microsoft Office files - Word, Excel, PowerPoint, HTML files and Safariwebarchives
iWork'08/09 files - Pages, Numbers, Keynote (files must be saved with Include Preview option)
.ai files saved with PDF Compatible option
audio files (natively supported by iOS)
video files (natively supported by iOS)

Can you wipe a mac and still sync iPad without wiping

I plan on making a copy of the iTunes folder in the music folder, wiping the mac's hard drive, reinstall Mountain Lion, and copy the iTunes Library folder back. WIll i still be able to sync my iPad without wiping it? Has anyone tried this before?

I want an iPhone 3GS wrote:
even if i copy the itunes folder? . and i want to improve performance
If you are going to restore the OS and all data from your Time Machine backup then the iOS device will not see the Mac as a new machine. But if you do an erase and install of the OS then restore just the data, the iOS device will see the computer as a new one.
I agree with Allan that the "nuclear option" is not always the best option, but since you have Time Machine backups you should be fine. Just do one last backup before you do anything. Be sure and set up the user credentials for the new OS the same as you have now to make restoring your data easier.

Can I sync my entire iTunes library to an iPad *without* transferring the music?

Is there any way to sync (or transfer) the iTunes library from my iMac to my iPad without copying over all the music files? I'd like to have access to the artists, albums and song titles for my entire collection on my iPad, so that I can tell at a glance what I do and don't have when buying new CDs in a music store. With thousands of CDs and 62,000 songs in my collection, it becomes difficult to keep all that data in my head.
I'd like to use the iTunes capabilities of the iPad to see my entire collection, with perhaps some sync-able subset of all those titles actually present on the device available for me to play.
I know a lot of this will eventually change, to some degree, with iCloud, but I imagine others with extensive music collections have encountered similar problems in the past.
Thanks!
John

I have an IPad with a Restriction code that we cannot remember. Is it possible to delete and restore the IPad without the code. If not how do I figure out the code or how to remove it?

The only option is to wipe the device clean and restore it to factory settings. Hope you have a backup.
Follow the instructions in iOS: How to back up your data and set up your device as a new device http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137 to restore the device to factory settings.
Once you have setup the device as a new one, you can then sync it back with your iTunes account and all your music, apps, contacts and any other content sync'ed with iTunes will be loaded on the device. Any content that is stored only on the device and not sync'ed with iTunes, like app logins or data, will be lost during this process. Be forewarned that this is a long process and can take a couple of hours or more to complete. This can be painful, but it is necessarily so to prevent users from working around the security settings. After the restore is complete, you can setup a new Restrictions passcode. Make a note of the passcode to avoid this situation in future.

Printing from an iPad without a WiFi Connection?

Alright, gonna see if I can get a solid answer to the golden question, "Can you print from the iPad without having an active WiFi network?"
Just got a 3G iPad 2 for my uncle. He loves it. He wants to print, but lives in a very rural area, and they have never had internet before the iPad. I have seen two possible answers, so maybe someone out there could clarify?
1.) Connect to a printer that has the ability to create an ad-hoc wireless network. One post referred to the HP Envy as a solution to this.
2.) Connect an airprint enabled printer (he bought an HP Photosmart 5514) to an AirPort Express and setup an ad-hoc wireless network.
     - I don't think #2 is possible, unless you can setup an ad-hoc wireless network using Apple's Airport Utility directly from the iPad and not a computer.
     - The printer my uncle bought (HP Photosmart 5514) IS on Apple's AirPrint supported list (with a firmware update perhaps?).
Just looking to clear the air and get an answer. I was thinking of having him return the HP Photosmart and getting an HP Envy if this is a possibility.   That way, he can join the Envy's ad-hoc wireless network when he needed to print, and re-join the 3G network when he wanted to browse.
Hoping to figure this out for him! Thanks in advance!

I have solved this exact requirement by purchasing an HP Photosmart 6520 wireless printer. Works like a charm.
I have an iPad with 4G cellular, and I have no wireless router for Internet in the house. My only Internet connection is 4G through Verizon cellular. I have no wifi router, hence no wifi network.
The HP 6520 has a "Wireless Direct" mode, and the setup guide tells you exactly how to set it up for wireless printer if you have no wireless router.
You set up the wireless direct through the touchscreen menu, and the printer publishes its own SSID.
On the iPad, and also my iPhone, I connect to that wifi SSID.
Then using the iOS print apps in Mail, Safari, Photos, etc. - Print to the HP Photosmart and it works perfectly.
No router needed at all.
And the cool part, I can print Photos from the iPad or iPhone to the Photosmart, which has a nice 4x6 photo paper tray, and the Apps and printer are smart enough to send it directly to the photo paper (vs. the normal 8x11 paper).
And this particular printer will print 2-sided if you want it to, and this option is presented to you in the iPad and iPhone printer dialogue.
This printer was $110 at Best Buy. I am quite a happy camper. Getting one now for my mother also who has iPad with 4G but no wireless router.
