Is my ipad locked to the orange network

I purchased an iPad with an Orange Sim in December for my partners' Xmas present.
My question is: Is that iPad locked into the Orange network and if so, can I get it unlocked?
I intend to take it to Spain shortly and do not want to pay extortionate rates as Orange have quoted.

You might want to check directly with Orange. I believe they do lock their iPads to their network so that you wouldn't be able to use it with someone else. Which is weird to me, I might add.

I've recently purchased a second hand iPad 2 and it is locked to the Orange network. How can I get it unlocked without paying on top of what I have already done for the device?

Hi, I have recently purchased an iPad 2 and only just found out after trying to use a Giffgaff sim card that it is locked to the Orange network in the UK. I don't want to be paying any extra over and above what I have already paid so my question is, is there any way to get the iPad carrier unlocked via apple or orange. I am waiting a call back from apple today and have read on the web that orange will charge me to unlock it.
Thanks for any help you guys can offer

Some iPads which were subsidized by the carriers are locked to the carrier, and in that case only the carrier can authorize an unlock. You'll need to talk to Orange, and pay their fee if necessary. They may well only unlock for the original purchaser, in which case you'll need to contact the person from whom you purchased the iPad. Apple can do nothing directly in the matter, since they can only issue the unlock when the carrier provides authorization.
Regards.

My MacBook Pro, running 10.7.3, does not recognize when my iPhone and iPad are on the same network, thus it does not synch. Any ideas?

Try the basics first:
Change your router channel number. Most times this works & is all you have to do.
Disconnect & reconnect your modem. unplug it for about 10 seconds. Plug it back in. Do the same for Apple’s routers. Wait for everything to reboot.
System Preferences>Network
Click the Assist Me button.
In the next window that pops up, click the Diagnostic button & do the necessary.

Apple doesn't unlock phones. You will need to contact the original cellular provider to determine if they offer unlocking and if you qualify.

HT4108 I have an iPhone4, used and locked to the UK network. I need to pay for the phone to be officially Unlocked. In the meantime we used it as a device to check emails and games etc.. We put a pass lock and after many failed attempts we forgot what it

I have an iPhone4, used and locked to the UK network. I need to pay for the phone to be officially unlocked.
In the meantime we used it as a device to check emails and games etc.. We put a pass lock and after many failed attempts we forgot what it is. Now the phone is Disabled and iTunes can not fix it since it can not update the Software without the phone being officially unlocked..
any idea how to do this?
Please advice

You need to visit Apple Store, and show ownership proof in case of forgotton pass code.

Does anyone know how to get an ipad to use the wireless network from an airport?

Does anyone know how to get an Ipad to use the wireless network from an airport express?

By default, the AirPort Express will broadcast an unsecure wireless network with a Network Name of something like: Apple Network NNNNNN. Your iPad should "see" this network and be able to connect to it. Have you tried going through the iPad's Settings > Wi-Fi > Choose a Network... option. If so, does the AirPort's wireless network appear in the list of available networks?
Can other wireless devices connect to the AirPort's network?

How can I get my iPhone 4S unlocked - it's currently locked on the 3 network and they won't unlock it unless I have an account with them.

Only 3 can authorize unlocking it. If you don't meet their conditions, then you're out of luck.

There are 3 things you should do to "lock down" your network.
1. Change the default administration password. The default is password or password1.
2. Change the SSID and set to not broadcast.
3. Set the security to WPA-psk or WPA2-psk and pick a password key.
To do this, log in to the router by opening your internet program and type 192.168.1.1 in to the address bar. Type admin and the password into the login page. Once logged in, click on "wireless settings". Click on "basic settings". From there you can change the SSID and turn off WEP. Once that is done, click apply. Now click on "advanced settings". From this page you can select your security type, set the password key (recommend a sentence that is easy to remember) and turn SSID broadcast off. You can also set mac filtering for extra security. When done click apply. You should be all set.

When I connect my ipad to a wifi network, the iphone connects to the same network

When I connect my iOS 8 iPad 4 to the guest network at work, my iOS 8 iPhone 5s automatically connects to the same network. When I disconnect the iPhone so I can send an email from my iCloud account (which is blocked on the work network) and tell it to forget the network, it disconnects my iPad too. Each time I tell the iPhone to forget the network, when I reconnect my iPad, the iPhone connects again.
How do I tell my iPhone to never connect to the work guest network while allowing my iPad to connect?
I do not like this feature in iOS 8.

Unfortunately, this does not help me, there are no issues with the operation of the WiFi, it is operating normally on both devices.
The issue is that in iOS 8, the WiFi network information is shared across linked devices. Therefore, if I add a network to one device, it is added to the other device and if I forget a network on one device, it is forgotten on the other.
I want to use a network on one device (the iPad) and to not use the network on the other (iPhone). How do I tell the iPhone to not connect to the WiFi without disabling WiFi while allowing the iPad to connect to the network? It is annoying to have to disable the iPhone WiFi manually each day when I get to work and it is prone to forgetting to turn it back on when I leave.

My ipad 2 is not using the wifi network

I have connected my Ipad 2 to the wifi network but it is not using it to use the internet. I have tried refreshing the network rebooting my ipad. do I need to put in the server details manually

Look at iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
Additional things to try.
Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
On your iPad go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings and see if that enables you to connect.
If none of the above suggestions work, look at this link.

How do I get my contract free iPhone unlocked from the first network it was connected to?

My husband bought me an iPhone 5 from Carphonewarehouse Wharehouse which was contract free. I then signed up for a sim only contract from EE but was miss sold a service which they do not provide so I have now cancelled that contract. When trying to buy another sim from another provider, the phone is locked to the EE network for which they say I have to contact Apple directly to have the phone unlocked? I have been back and forth on this one and it seems now that my wonderful Xmas present is rendered useless....because it seems that it cannot be unlocked! Does anyone have any ideas how I can solve this?
Apple can you help because I have no idea where to turn to now?

Apple has a extensive list of every iPhone that was made and each phone has its own number. On each number is a code that locks the phone to the service provider. The only way that Apple can change the code to your phone is if it is authorized by the service provider. So you will have to go back to EE and ask them to unlock your phone, and this will probably have an accompanying fee for unlocking as most providers do.
The strange thing is that you bought your iPhone unlocked and it managed to become locked during this process. You should have just been able to put a sim card in from one company and then just put another in from a different without any issues.
When dealing with EE make sure to raise that point if they try to charge you with an unlocking fee.
Unfortunately Apple is not in a position that can help you, they will probably tell you to call your service provider.

Hi, I have updated my MacPro, Iphone and Ipad and installed the Icloud. My Ipod merges with the Ipad and visa versa but neither merges with the notebook nor does the notebook merge with them.

Home Sharing is designed to work on your local network not across the internet/cloud.
Stuff is accessed under the Computers column where your local iTunes library on a local computer would appear.
Home Sharing would share your iTunes content (i.e. stuff stored in itunes on the computer, not in the cloud) with AppleTV or an iPad etc on the SAME network.
AppleTV2 will not be able to see itunes content on the work computer over the internet. It's not designed to. if the work computer was on the home network it would.
iCloud is in it's infancy and is not a mature product - iTunes TV Show purchases appear on AppleTV, but currently music does not unless you are subscribed to iTunes Match. I find this rather odd to be honest, along with the inability to buy music on AppleTV2. Movies purchased in iTunes are not authorised for iCloud viewing currently either.
Maybe it has something to do with iTunes Match 'getting in the way' - i think they assume you'll use that whereas you really want to be able to access Purchased music from the cloud without subscribing to itunes Match which is overkill for some.

Ipad locks while trying to delete aps

I have experienced this problem since the ios 8 update. The most recent update (8.1.2) did not correct the issue.
When I try to delete an app I press and hold until the x appears and all the apps start to wiggle, when I press on the app I wish to delete the ipad locks up, the aps keep wiggling but pressing on the x has no effect. about a third of the wiggling apps blink on and off of the screen and no other functions, buttons or swipes will work while this is happening. I have to reboot the ipad to get it working normally again. No issues otherwise, It is a 3rd generation model A1403, 16gb with cellular.

Hey landscapr,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like there an issue deleting apps from your iPad which causes it to stop responding and need to be reset. If you haven’t already, try restoring your iPad as described in the article linked below.

Take care,
