Ipad2 wifi or wifi and 3G

if i purchase an ipad2 with wifi only can i use the hotspot from my iphone to use internet when im out of the house?

If it's an iPhone 4 or 3GS with iOS 4.3+ (I think), and your phone carrier supports it, then yes you can use the phone's hotspot capability - the iPad should see the phone as a wifi network.

    I have the ipad2 and now I want the 3G instead. Any options out there besides the obvious??

    The iPad itself can't be upgraded. If you want 3G and you don't want to sell yours (or return it if you are within the returns period), then you could use an iPhone as a personalobile hotpost for it, or get a mifi device which act as a mobile hotspot

  • HT4623 I have a ipad2 wifi and do not have the software update function, how do I update this unit?

    I have a ipad2 and do not have the software update, I need to update this unit.

    The option to update without the computer (Over the air) was made available with iOS 5. If your iDevice is using a version of iOS lower than 5, you will need to use iTunes on your syncing computer to perform the upgrade. Use the Apple link below as a guide for the upgrade.

  • I have the ipad2 wifi. and have downloaded some games, do i need to stay connected to a wifi hot spot to play them?

    do i need to stay connected to wi-fi to play games i've downloaded, i went to the skating rink and was looking forward to pass my time playing game apps i downloaded but couldnt play them because of no hotspot??

    Wi-Fi is only needed for the download, not to play the game. Unless, of course, the app description states that the app needs Wi-Fi to play.

  • Ipad2 wifi vs. Ipad2 wifi + 3g

    Is there some sort of component added to the Ipad2 to allow it to receive the 3g signal?  In other words, what exactly is the difference between the Ipad2 wifi and the Ipad2 wifi+3g?

    ipad 2 wifi you can only use when you have/on wifi, so if your some where with no wifi, then your ipad won't get any service.
    where as 3G you can basically get service anywhere there is signal.

  • My wife and I each have an iTunes account. We just got a new iMac, and we want to merge our accounts into the main machine and use them together on our iPhones and ipad2.

    My wife and I each have an itunes account. We just got a new imac, and want to put all of our media on it. Can we share songs and media from two diffrent accounts on the imac, our iphones, and the ipad2?

    Decide which device will be changing accounts.  On that device, if you have any photos in photo stream that are not in your camera roll that you want to keep on the device, save them to the camera roll by opening the photo stream album in the thumbnail view, tapping Edit, then tap all the photos you want to save, tap Share and tap Save to Camera Roll. 
    Once this is done, go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account.  (This will only delete the account from this phone, not from iCloud.  The device(s) that will be keeping the account will not be effected by this.)  When prompted about what to do with the iCloud data, be sure to select Keep On My iDevice.  Next, set up a new iCloud account using a different Apple ID (if you don't have one, tap Get a Free Apple ID at the bottom).  Then turn iCloud data syncing back to On, and when prompted about merging with iCloud, choose Merge.  This will upload the data to the new account.
    Finally, to delete any data that you don't want in each account (such as deleting your wife's data from your account, and vice versa) you will have to go to icloud.com on your computer and sign into each iCloud account separately and manually delete it.

  • I have an ipad2 with wifi and 3G.  My wife and I are traveling in France (Nice) then into Italy.  We are unable to purchase a data plan because our Verizon IPad will not accept a sims chip...we are told.  We were advised that this model wound work in Euro

    I have an ipad2 with wifi and 3G.  My wife and I are traveling in France (Nice) then into Italy.  We are unable to purchase a data plan because our Verizon IPad will not accept a sim chip...we are told.  An Apple store employee here said this model is good only in the US. The iPads here take a sim card. We were advised by an Apple Store Employee at home that this model would work in Europe and that we could buy our service here.  That does not seem to be the case.    We have been told that we must invest in a modem at 200.00€ and then purchase a separate service plan for each country. We can use the free wifi wherever it is available but we cannot connect to the outside world when out of range. Is there anything else we can do?
    Thanks, John

    Unfortunately, no other solution is available.
    Hope this helps

    I've thought so but if that's true we could use a t-mobile SIM card in the ipad2, that' s why I'm suspicious :$

  • Using ipad2 and airplay with appleTV; can I have the ipad2 on wifi and the AppleTV on a wired port of the same router in order to use airplay?

    can I have the ipad2 on wifi and the AppleTV on a wired port of the same router in order to use airplay?

    I belive you can, I think my friends Apple TV is connected to their internet via an Ethernet cable, and we use Airplay sometimes using our iPads that are connected to the same network via WiFi. It should work as long as they are both connected to the same network. However, I don't have an Apple TV of my own, so don't take this as a solid answer.

  • I made a pre-booking for ipad2 wifi cellular, i would like to know whether i can upgrade it to IOS6 n IOS7? and i want to know whether can i use 2G network instead of 3G as the 3G network plan is expensive??? and i want to know whether i can access siri ?

    Siri does Not work on the iPad 2.  iOS 7 is not even out yet, so we have no way of knowing if you'll be able to upgrade to it.

    I have an Ipad1 and an Ipad2. The Ipad1 cannot connect to my wifi and indicates the password is incorrect even though I am using the same password for the Ipad2??

    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

    Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.

  • Just bought an ipad2 for my wife and d display is not as sharp as mine and it gets warm when in use and mine does not. Mine is 32gb and hers is 16gb

    Just bought an ipad2 for my wife and d display is not as sharp as mine and it gets warm when in use and mine does not. Mine is 32gb and hers is 16gb

    Bunzez-
    I agree.  Mine is 64gb, and the most warmth I notice seems to be where I was holding it.
    The result of excess heat would be that its battery would run down faster than it should.  With a full charge, it should run at least eight hours, maybe ten.  Someone mentioned that their iPad charge went down ten percent per hour.
    The iPad normally stays on all the time, and is put to sleep by pressing the Sleep button.  In the sleep mode, it draws extremely low current, so the battery does not run down for many days.  With yours in the sleep mode, does it still get hot?
    Regardless, I think the display problem is reason enough to take it to the Apple Store Genius.  If there is no Apple Store near you, look for an Apple Authorized Repair Center.  There may be one in your city.  In the US, <United States>.  Outside the US, <http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1434>.

    I am currently using ipad2 (only wifi) and... having lots of difficulites accessing to Internet.
    I was wondering if Pantech 4G LTE USB modem would work.
    Or it there is another way I could get access to Internet freely? ;-l
    Please.. hepl me out!
    Thank you ~

    The iPad does not have necessary drivers for the Pantech modem, even if you could connect it.
    If you already have the Pantech modem, you might be able to use it with a CradlePoint WiFi router such as the MBR900.  That would make the router into a WiFi hotspot.  Check the CradlePoint website to be sure that model modem is compatible.
    Another possibility is a WiFi hotspot called a "MiFi" that uses the same system as the Pantech modem.  I understand there are both battery powered and plug-in versions available.  Check with your cellular provider for details.

    I'm in the US right now and want to buy ipad2 wifi 3G. Can I change the SIM card when I get back to my country in Indonesia?

    Yes, as long as you purchase the GSM version (AT&T) and your Indonesian carrier supports an iPad with a micro-sim.  Unlike the iPhone in the USA, the iPad is not locked to a carrier.
