Ipad2 with wifi but no 3G how would I upgrade to 3G

Is it possible to upgrade my iPad to iPad 3G .?

A lot depends on how much you intend to use it when away from home. Would you be in the vicinity of Wifi hotspots?
The 3G model costs £100 more (an extra 25% of the cheapest model) PLUS whatever your data plan is.
If you are not regularly in the vicinity of hotspots, and not likely to be a heavy user, the cheaper option is to purchase a Mifi (yes, Mifi) device from a network such as 3. It is the size of a small mobile phone and connects wirelessly to your iPad. The device AND a 12gb download over 12 months costs very little more than the extra price for the 3G model. Other plans are also available with the 3 network. Google the words '3 Mifi'.

You can get Mifi devices (the iPad connects to it via wifi and they then give access to 3G networks). I've never used one and I don't know if they are available in Canada (and if so how much they would cost). If you have an iPhone then you could also use that as a mobile hotspot

Help needed I updated my ipad2 with iOS5 but few of my dashbaords are not working now can any one let me know how to downgrade the OS

Help needed I updated my ipad2 with iOS5 but few of my dashbaords (HTML5) are not working now ,can any one let me know how to downgrade the OS as we have a meeting coming up .. its urgent

Downgrading the iOS is not supported. If you are using Safari this try clearing its cache via Settings > Safari.
If that doesn't work then try closing Safari completely and then re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with Safari 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Safari app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
A third option is a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Updated iPad2 with OS5 but forget backup password, how do I retrieve password or go back to before update since I saved password on iPad

Updated ipad2 with OS5 but forget my backup password, can I reset from previous setting and try again since my password is somewhere on my iPad?

If you want to restore to a backup then you need to know what the password for that backup is - so no, you are stuck in a loop, as in order to find your password that you've got stored in that backup, you will need to enter the password so that you can restore to that backup

Can I use Ipad2 with wifi +3G with an Alltel Motorola MilestoneX 3g hotspot phone?

Alltel is my mobile service provider, and they are now offering the Motorola Milestone X running Android 2.2; this phone can function as a 3G hotspot. If I have an Ipad2 with wifi+3g, and I turn the hotspot functionality of the phone on, can my Ipad then connect to that hotspot signal created by my phone--even though my service is through Alltel and not Verizon or ATT? Alltel charges $20 a month for this functionality on top of my smartphone plan, but it provides unlimited data usage. The fee for 3G Ipad date service for both Verizon and ATT is just a little more, but they have data limits on those plans.
Any assistance/info you can provide will be appreciated!

ok, so the phone creates a wifi signal, not a 3g signal--then the Ipad connects via wifi, not 3G, to the phone-- and then gets data off the 3G network ...that is where I was confused. Data flows from the Alltel 3G signal to the phone, then from the phone's wifi hotspot via a wifi signal to ipad's wifi receiver...
I was not sure if the phone "created" a 3G signal that the Ipad was then supposed to connect to...
Much clearer now...thanks!
So, if this is how I am going to use it, do I even need the Ipad+3G--I really would only need the Ipad2+wifi, correct???

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

That's an interesting question Chris let's look at the original text and parse it:

So the wifi iPad is what he's got and he's moving to japan in a month. Are we clear on that point? But when we get to the second sentence, "Can I use the verizon version of the ipad in Japan network? That's where I'm assuming he's not gotten the Verizon ipad YET. And that is how getting an AT&T iPad is going to solve his problem. Tx.
The Verizon iPad has wifi.
I'm assuming he has a Verizon iPad (why else ask about Verizon?) and the OP simply did not specify "I just got an iPad 2 16GB, Verizon version".

Hey, I'm trying to authorize my new laptop with my iTunes account. How would I go about doing this?

Hey, I'm trying to authorize my new laptop with my iTunes account. How would I go about doing this?

Hi Michael1296,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Here are the steps to authorize a computer in iTunes:
How do I authorize a computer?
Open iTunes on the computer you want to authorize.
Choose Store > Authorize This Computer from the menu bar.
You might need to show the menu barto see this option in Windows. In earlier versions of iTunes, you can access this option from the Advanced menu.
Enter your Apple ID and click Authorize.
If your Apple ID uses an expired MobileMe account, you can still use it to authorize your computer.
If iTunes asks you to authorize your computer again, it won't use a new authorization. iTunes uses the same authorization for the same computer.
You can find these steps and more information at this link:
Authorize your computer using iTunes
All the best,
Jeremy

Can i use the ipad2 with WiFi+3G in china? If i want to use 3G in china, can i ?

Sure, go to a Chinese cell provider that offers a microSIM compatible with the iPad, take out your AT&T microSIM and use that one.

Skype works with WiFi but not with 3G

I have a Sony Xperia M, Andriod 4.3 and the last version of Skype. Skype runs perfectly with WiFI but when I turn it off it gets offline with my 3G. While other apps like Facebook Messenger, Whatsapp, etc work well, Skype is logged in but offline: I can't send or recieve messages or calls and I see all my contacts but I can't see who's online. A friend has Sony Xperia M2 with Android 4.4 and is having the same problem with his 4G connection.
What can I do?
Note: Clearing data, as it has been suggested in other posts, doesn't work.

I have the same issue with a Samsung Galaxy S4.

I have an ipad2 with wifi which I am planning taking abroad. Can I use one of those prepaid USB devices to acces Internet not having 3G? Is there a way around this

Other than using wifi I have been trying to see if I can use my iPad2 to access the Internet. I don't really want to upgrade to 3G now as ihave alredy purchased my ipad2 with wifi only.

Not if they could get a microSIM from a local carrier that supported tethering. Plus I believe that I have heard that various US carriers have a different roaming rate for data than for phone calls which is not as expensive, OCICBW.
