Ipad2 3G coverage outside the US

I travel quite often and I'm not sure whether I can connect to 3G with my Ipad2 outside the US. Is it locked with AT&T or Verizon? I need to use it in the US with either one but have the facility of using it overseas. I'd appreciate the help.

Verizon iPads are effectively locked as they are CDMA based, not sim card, and hardly anybody else uses CDMA. In terms of AT&T iPads you should be able to swap in a local micro-sim card

I live outside the US and am confused if i should get a locked or unlocked Iphone 4s?

I live outside the US and probably will not move their either. I am confused if i should purchase a locked or unlocked IPhone 4S. I travel frequently but buy a sim card for each country i travel so i want a phone that i can insert any sim card into. At the same time i also want it so that if i move to the US it will work their too. PLZ HELP FAST!!

Did you read the specs I linked to? All iPads have a sim card slot for local sim cards regardless of where worldwide. Again, a local carrier must offer local iPad data plans and a local sim card.
The Verizon, etc. carrier designations only have significance in the USofA where two networks are avaialable, GSM and CDMA. In the USofA if you subscribe to a USofA carrier using CDMA then you must purchase the iPad designed to use CDMA. But again and per the specifications, any post iPad2 iPad, GSM or CDMA will work worldwide on GSM networks.

How far outside the "38 cities" will 4G reach?

I'm primarily asking about West Lafayette. I live about 3-4 miles outside of West Lafayette in the city of Lafayette. Does anyone know how far outside the "city limits" the 4G access will reach? If I am able to get 4G speeds, I'll hold off on upgrading until the 4G phones come out. If not, I'll be upgrading at the end of the month. Looking at Sprints 4G coverage maps, the service seems to reach pretty far outside the city limits. I know it is different technology and different companies, but I was just curious how this would progress.
Thanks

Follow this link; http://phones.verizonwireless.com/4g/
go to the map feature, and their is a zip code lookup available. I live outside of Pittsburgh proper by about 25 miles, but my zip is included in the 4G coverage area. Now I just need the phones to show up!!

3g question for outside the us

So let's say I order the new 3g iPad 2, And I ship it outside the US... I go to my celular company (Setar, Aruba)... I buy a new 3g sim card... I buy data.... I set everything up... Will I get 3g services? Because there is only At&t and verizon option... can it be done?

Around the globe the mobile networks are mostly based on GSM which is what AT&T is using. Verizon uses a different network. So if you know the the provider in your country is GSM based you should get the AT&T version of the iPad2.
Obviously I don't have experience with the new iPad yet, but the 'old' one is in no way locked or limited. When I was traveling to Europe I just picked up a one month data plan with a micro SIM card and was ready to go.

Does location based services (LBS) work for international locations (outside the USA)?

Does location based services (LBS) work for international locations (outside the USA)? For example does it work in Canada, European countries etc. Any help is appreciated.

Yes, but possibly limited to coverage of Skyhook database..
Applications that use location services also use the data from Skyhook...
Skyhook is a service that records the MAC addresses of Cell Base stations/towers and wireless access points.
Google Maps vehicles records the wireless AP data at the same time they get street view images.
There was some controversy over this - but they effectively record the location and the MAC address of any AP they find as they drive round. This gets sent to a massive database at Skyhook and is used to either locate without GPS or enhance/aid the GPS information. It's also why the location is always the road outside!
If your location/MAC relationship has not been mapped by Skyhook, Google or others - then the good news is that you can add it - although it can take a month or two at least - to work. The reason is that it depends which database is being used by Skyhook's clients..
Add your Wireless Access Point (or Wireless Router) here: http://www.skyhookwireless.com/howitworks/submit_ap.php
The main website for Skyhook is here: http://www.skyhookwireless.com
Hope that helps...!

After Upgrade to os 10.6.8 Prints from CS4 Photoshop show blue tint outside the printing area

After Upgrade to os 10.6.8 from 10.5.8 Prints from CS4 and 5.5 Photoshop show blue tint outside the printing area, not so when printing from CS2. I could not beleive this was still an issue. Is there any known solution to this long ongoing and well known dispute between apple and adobe?

Mobile Broadband with Gobi 2000 outside the US

Hi all,
Just got my X201 with a Gobi 2000 card inside. Since I live outside the US I was never really sure how it would work outside the AT&T and Verizon networks. Even after I received the Thinkpad it was not very easy to find information about how to set it up, so I thought I would post it here - I am sure someone is looking for it...
This is what I got: X201, Windows 7 Professional 64-bit.
First of all you are wondering where to put the SIM card. Take the Thinkpad battery out, and you will find the slot of the SIM. The cut off corner on the SIM should stick into the slot.
Next, you can use the Lenovo "Access Connections" software to make the connectivity, also outside the US. This is the same software as you use to to manage your Wifi - the one that shows Wifi signal strength in the Windows task bar.
(Note it should also be possible to use the Microsoft Dialup software, the the APN needs to be entered directly into the modem using "+cgdcont=1" - google that if you want to try.)
Back to Access Connections.
For someone new to Thinkpad, you may start with the Lenovo ThinkVantage Toolbox. That is the blue button on the keyboard, and the blue toolbox icon in the task bar. After you have done all your Lenovo and Microsoft updates here, you will notice an exclamation mark under "Security & Networking", "3G Mobile Broadband". It will essentially tell you: "A Wireless Wide Area Network (WWAN) card is installed in your system. Please run Lenovo Broadband Connect to activate your card."
This is somewhat confusing, particularly in the GSM world. What is it will do is not activating your Gobi 2000 card, but activate a subscription with a carrier in the US. Either an AT&T subscription, with an AT&T SIM and GSM/HSDPA, or a Verizon subscription with EVDO (which does not use a SIM). If you have put your European SIM in the Thinkpad this will lead you nowhere.
Just click "Ignore Issues" to get rid of the exclamation card.
Go back to Access Connections - just click on the Wifi signal in the task bar.
For the record, I am running version 5.61 of Access Connections. There is also 5.62 available for download, but it only seems to be adding Sprint settings, which we do not need outside the US.
Now, in Access Connections click on the "Location Profiles" tab, and up to the right do "Switch to: Advanced".
Now "Create...", so you can enter settings for your mobile network.
Give it a name, and as type of network choose Mobile Broadband.
Choose the Gobi 2000 hardware, and click next.
Next screen you will change the technology used from EVDO to HSDPA/GPRS, and finally get some life in the hardware.
Under Select WAN Settings you may choose to go Automatic, or Custom. I believe the Automatic covers about 30 non US networks, mainly European, but if your network is not covered, go Custom, and click Edit Settings.
Now you an choose settings from one of the 30 or so networks in the drop-down list, or just enter them by hand.
For the record, you just need the APN, the Username and the Password. There are the same settings you typically enter into your phone for GPRS connectivity, and they are probably available on your providers website. You will probably want to change your Authentication Option from PAP to NONE, depending on what your provider's instruction says.
For the record, for MTN Cyprus these are "internet", "wap" and "wap".
Click Next, and although the next page looks messy there is not really anything to change - just click Finish.
OK, we are done. Now you can test your connection, either by choosing that as a Location and clicking Connect, or by using the Mobile Broadband radio button and the Connect button.
You should now be able to use Access Connections as a single point to switch between Wifi and HSPA, and have no annoying exclamation marks from the Lenovo ThinkVantage - also outside the US.

Perhaps that is all you needed, but there are definitely 3G ISPs in the world that will need somewhat more than that.
There are also 3G ISPs that check the IMEI of devices and will only connect devices thay have sold.
3G services globally are only semi-standadised, at best, in terms of what is needed to establish a connection and it it is quite important to pay close attention to all the information provided by the particular ISP that a connection is attempting to be established with.

I have a dialog window on my iPad2 labeled iCloud Bakup -- the iPad hasn't been backed up in 4 weeks. The screen is frozen. I can't clear away the dialog box to close down iPad and I can't get to settings to make any changes there. Ideas?

A dialog box has appeared on the screen of my iPad2 and has frozen the device so that I can't close it down or make changes to the settings. The titel is "iCloud Backup" and it reads: This iPad hasn't been backed up in 4 weeks. Backups happen when this iPad is plugged in, locked, and connected to WiFi.
I'm not sure why it hasn't backed up but I can't do anything to clear the dialog box, turn off the device or get to any settings or apps on the device.
Any suggestions? Please help -- I'm caring for my mother in hospice and don't have time to deal with this at the Apple Store!

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Hold Sleep and Home buttons for 10 seconds until the device restarts, so you will be able to use the iPad again.
It will try to make a backup every time your iPad is plugged to the charger and connected to a network. To prevent that this message appears soon, open Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup, and choose Backup Now

Connect to a cube with Integrated WIndows Sercurity for Windows user with computer outside the domain

Hello,I am trying to connect to an MSSAS cube with a windows user ( and i need this user to be the end user that connect to the cube) from outside the domain.It will be .Net application.I use msmdpump.dll before but the thing is it impersonate the connection
so the user that connect to the Cube is not the real client user with is a problem for me because i like to manage the security throw roles.
SSRS is able to do what i am trying to achieve ( it ask you your domain user and password) then connect to the cube with these credential which is great,but i do that ?
With ADOMD.Net how do you provide windows user/password in the connection string ?
I tryed to only active windows security access with IIS and MSSAS but it's not working with a computer outside the domain even if in excel i provide a windows user/password.

HELP! I want to know whether my hand-me-down iPhone 4 is SIM/carrier-locked or not. I was given an iPhone 4 which I think was purchased outside the Philippines.

I was given an iPhone 4 which I believed was purchased outside the Philippines. The previous owner had it jailbroken but something went wrong so it was stuck on DFU mode. So when it was given to me, I had it restored and updated via iTunes to iOS 5.1. I bought a micro-sim and inserted it on the sim tray. iTunes was able to detect the SIM card number and there was NO MESSAGE like the sim card is not supported whatsoever which can be usually seen in unsupported simcard. I thought everything went smoothly. But when I tried to set-up the phone, the SLIDE TO UNLOCK button is unresponsive. It doesn't work so I was stuck there and my iPhone cannot be accessed because of that. What shall I do? I have tried doing the hard reset several times, it still didn't work. I have tried restoring my iPhone three times but the slide to unlock is still unresponsive. I think the iPhone was able to detect my carrier simcard since it shows on the top corner the name of my carrier, mobile signal and 3g network. Now I am wondering as to why the slide to unlock button is unresponsive? Was it because of my iPhone LCD or was it because the iPhone is locked? Please help.

according to some blogs, if the sim card you are using is unsupported, iTunes will show you a message that the sim card you are using is unsupported. But when i opened itunes, I didn't see that message. Instead, it was able to detect my sim card number. So I guess, the simcard is supported. It isn't the original sim, though. Then the phone was able to detect the mobile carrier, mobile and 3g signals. So iam wondering whether my phone is locked or was it a hardware problem?

Sales orders in TDMS company/time based reduction are outside the scope

Guys,
I have had some issues with TDMS wheras it didn't handle company codes without plants very well. That was fixed by SAP. But I have another problem now. If I do a company code and time based reduction, It doesn't seem to affect my sales orders in VBAK/VBUK as I would have expected. I was hoping it would only copy sales orders across that have a plant which is assigned to a company code that was specified in the company code based reduction scenario. That doesn't seem to be the case.
VBAK is now about one third of the size of the original table (number of records). But I see no logic behind the reduction. I can clearly see plenty of sales documents that have a time stamp way back from what I specified in my copy procedure and I can see others that have plant entries that should have been excluded from the copy as they do belong to different company codes than the ones I specified.
I was under the impression that TDMS would sort out the correct sales orders for me but somehow that doesn't seem to be happening. I have to investigate further as to what exactly it did bring across but just by looking at what's in the target system I can see plenty of "wrong" entries in there either with a date outside the scope or with a plant outside the scope.
I can also see that at least the first 10'000 entries in VBAK in the target system have a valid from and to date of 00.00.0000 which could explain why the time based reduction didn't work?
Did you have similar experiences with your copies? Do I have to do a more detailed reduction such as specifying tables/fields and values?
Thanks for any suggestions
Stefan
Edited by: Stefan Sinzig on Oct 3, 2011 4:57 AM

The reduction itself is not based on the date when the order was created but the logic enhances it to invoices and offers, basically the complete update process.
If you see data that definitely shouldn't be there I'd open an OSS call and let the support check what's wrong.

Pages (or Numbers) Template Cannot Be Opened From Outside the Application

Ever since the upgrade to Mavericks, I cannot open a Pages (or Numbers) template without being asked.....
Do you want to add this custom template to the Template Chooser? Then my only options are Cancel or Add to Template Chooser.
If I cancel, it won't open anything.
But this template is already in my Template Chooser.
So the only way to open a template in Pages (or Numbers) is to open the application first, and then click "New", and choose the template.
I can't figure out a way to open the template from outside the application, which is very very handy, rather than having to open the application every time that I want to access a template.
How can I open a template simply by clicking on it?

Yes, the problem is that opening the template from outside of the application will not open the application, showing the document. I only get this....
Do you want to add this custom template to the Template Chooser? Then my only options are Cancel or Add to Template Chooser.
If I cancel, it won't open anything.
But this template is already in my Template Chooser.
Put your Pages or Numbers document on your desktop and open it by double-clicking it, and you'll understand. You can't do it, even if the template is in your template chooser.
The only way to do this now is to open the application, select "New", and the select the template. So you cannot open a template from outside the application....only from within.
