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 Ipad mini does not see my printer. my wife's ipad2 does. We both use IOS8 and upgraded at the same time. How can I remedy this?

OK great info!
I found 2 possible ethernet to USB adapters:
By "Plugable": USB 2.0 to ethernet LAN wired network adapter - seems this will work, but I'll contact Plugable.
2. Apple USB Ethernet Adapter
Easily connect your MacBook Air computer to an Ethernet network with the Apple USB Ethernet Adapter. Small and light, it connects to the USB 2.0 port of your MacBook Air and provides an RJ-45 connector that supports 10/100BASE-T performance. BUT NOT SURE IF THIS WILL WORK ON ANYTHING BUT a MacBook Air…
One person commented:
This little gem used to be the device of choice for adding a second Ethernet interface to a Mac Mini Server and I'd been using one that way for about a year. After doing a software update to 10.6.6 it stopped working. Forewarned is forearmed – it appears that Apple is finally enforcing the MacBook Air system requirement.
Thanks for any additional comments.

Hi, can anyone tell me if I can have more than one iTunes account on the same PC. I've just bought my wife an iPad2 and want to create a separate account for her. Can I do that on the same PC as mine?

Hi, can anyone tell me if I can have more than one iTunes account on the same PC. I've just bought my wife an iPad2 and want to create a separate account for her. Can I do that on the same PC as mine? Thanks.

I would advise that you not set up a second Apple ID. It's really not necessary - having two Apple IDs won't affect how iTunes works with your iPads - and will just complicate matters. Each iPad will be treated independently and can be set to sync only the items you want on that particular iPad. If you really want to keep the two iPads separate, set up different iTunes libraries and have only those items you want on the related iPad in that library, rather than a different Apple ID. If you plan not to use a computer and just download directly to the iPads, you can again choose what apps and content each iPad gets.
But answering your specific question, you can have content from up to five iTunes Store accounts on any one computer or iPad. To create a new iTunes Store account, you'll need a different email address, and from there you just create the account the same way you did the first one.
Regards.

How to sync my wife's iPad2, iTouch

How to sync my wife's iPad2, iTouch (iOS5.1) & iMac account to Mountain Lion when it was originally sync'd to my account on Loin using my ID?

Ok, to clarify:
1. You had the iPad2, iTouch, and iMac account sync'ing on 10.7 Lion under your account?
2. Now you want change those devices to your wife's Apple ID and maybe a new login account for the wife?
(Did you upgrade from Lion to Mountain Lion on a single iMac that you share?)
If that's what you meant:
1. If the devices were activated and sync'd under your Apple ID on your computer then going to a second computer you will receive an error in iTunes about the device being sync'd to a different computer. You will have to wipe the devices and start over to change that... You could also end up having Apps installed on the iOS devices some under your AppleID and some under your wife's AppleID. That can be painful as you need to logout of the App/iTunes stores and switch accounts then update. You'll see updates available but not be able to update all of them because half are under a different AppleID.
However, it is possible to share an Apple ID for purchases between devices. I use my AppleID between my work iPad3, iPhone4S, the wife's iPad2 and iPhone4 as well as my Mac's and the wife's iMac. This way all purchases are made under one account. I then setup the wife with her own iCloud account while still using my AppleID for the App/iTunes stores. All she has to know is the password to my account and I think I can trust the wife with that.
Going to need very specific information to provide you the proper course of action to save you time and effort.

TS1398 Why does my iPad2 not display the WiFi icon?

Why does my iPad2 not display the WiFi icon? I have implemented ALL of the troubleshooting tips, but my WiFi icon is still missing, and it will NOT recognize the internet connection that I know to work on my computer and iPhone.

Try the following:
1. Reset the AirPlay devices
2. Reboot the router
3. Reboot the iPad
Note: The AirPlay icon is now in the Control Center

How to share an ibook from my ipad2 to wife's ipad2?

How to share an ibook from my ipad2 to wife's ipad2?

Unless both ipads were set up with the same Apple ID, there really isn't.
This does depend on the app however. I don't read iBooks, but there are some e-reader apps like Kindle that may allow you to 'loan' the book to someone else. Or, using an e-reader app, the book can be 'checked out' of a library that supports downloaded books. You have an account, 'borrow' the file, use an e-reader app to read it, and have a certain time frame in which to finish reading.

Do Apple have any plans to launch anything to convert a wifi only ipad2 to 3g?

I'm wondering if I made the wrong decision in buying the wifi only ipad 2...
Does anyone know if Apple have any plans to launch anything to convert the wifi only ipad2 to 3g?
If not, is it possible to part exchange in order to upgrade anywhere in the UK?
Vicki

As others have said you can get either a Mifi from 3 mobile or a similar Novatel Wireless device from Orange
These devices use a 3G SIm card .
They connect to the 3G , GPRS or Edge mobile network convert the mobile signal to broadcast a secure WIFI signal just about anywhere.
You can connect your iPad and upto 5 other Wifi devices simulataniously.Your Laptop perhaps !
This is the Orange device

Hello joe2616,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
To troubleshoot this issue where your Wi-Fi network is dropping, please follow the directions outlined below.
Symptom: The network connection drops unexpectedly
Your Mac may not not stay connected to your Wi-Fi network reliably.
Your Mac may stop accessing the Internet during use.
Solution
Use these steps if your computer disconnects from its Wi-Fi network unexpectedly.
Check your range to the Wi-Fi router and reduce the effect of interference.
If your computer is too far from your Wi-Fi router or your environment has too much Wi-Fi interference, then your computer may not detect the Wi-Fi network properly. The easiest way to check for range limits with your Wi-Fi network is to move your computer or your Wi-Fi router closer together and make sure that there are no obstructions (such as walls, cabinets, and so forth) between the router and your computer.See Potential sources of wireless interference for more information about interference and solutions.
Try connecting to a different Wi-Fi network. If your computer works fine when connected to a different Wi-Fi network, then the issue may be related to your network router or ISP. In that case, contact the manufacturer of your router or your ISP.

Try this first. 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.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.

If this does not help, please post the make and model of your Wi-Fi router. Maybe there is a way to monitor the connections from the router side.
Even if the iPad2 has a bad Wi-Fi radio or antenna , the chance of you getting another one should be small. Also if you go to an Apple Store, I am sure you will be able to test it before you leave the store.
Actually, my bet is riding on sibling rivalry.

No, the iPad cannot share it's connection with other devices. Have you read the replies in your duplicate thread : https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3483987?tstart=0 ?

Using Facetime on wifi only iPad2

Any options for still using the facetime app on a wifi only iPad2? I wonder if using Skype on some other similar app is the answer?

FaceTime on iPad 2 uses your email address instead of a phone number.
Go to Settings>>FaceTime and turn it on. Validate your email by entering Apple id and password.
Good Luck.

Does the Wifi+3G iPad2 sold in the UK has sim lock?

Does the Wifi+3G iPad2 sold in the UK has sim lock?

Buy from an Apple Store and if it is like the iPad 1 you will be able to use any UK micro sim
there is no evidence that the iPad2 will be locked as long as no carrier has subsidised the purchase price
