Is the iPAD 3G really locked to AT&T & can I use a US 3G iPAD in EU?

I will leave the US in May to move back to my home country, the UK. I would like to buy an iPAD 3G from the US before I leave since I had heard it was not locked to AT&T & I could simply replace the AT&T micro sim card with a micro sim card from one of the EU iPAD 3G providers (such as Orange). Is this true & should I buy in the US. An Apple store worker told me that the US iPAD 3G will be locked to AT&T & therefore I should buy it in the UK when released. There seems to be much confusion on whether the iPAD is truly locked to AT&T or not. Thanks for any help or clarification here.

Best to buy one in the UK!!!
The iPad is NOT locked to AT&T. It uses the bands that AT&T uses so it is effectively locked to AT&T in the US. You can get a microsim from another country and use the iPad there with no issues (once they support the iPad that is).

If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup).
If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present.
You may have to force iPad/iPod into Recovery Mode

You need to ask the previous owner to remove the activation lock. If you can't(and they don't do it on their own), the device is useless to you.

HT4108 I'm trying to connect my iPad to my tv so that I can mirror whatever is on my iPad. I want to stream movies online and watch on the tv. I have the digital av adapter and an hdmi cable but it's not working. Any tips ?

I'm trying to connect my iPad to my tv so that I can mirror whatever is on my iPad. I want to stream movies online and watch on the tv. I have the digital av adapter and an hdmi cable but it's not working. Any tips ?

If this is an iPad 1, it won't mirror, but it will still output video from the 30 Pin dock connector.
If your new TV has a conventional VGA in and stereo inputs you can try this connector.

I used to stream video from both Netflix and YouTube and from my Mac using iTunes sharing through my iPad then with this connector plug into my iPad and TV.
It won't be high resolution, but it will get you picture from iPad to TV.
Good Luck.

If this is your iPhone and you set the Apple ID and password, you can releae the iPhone by logging in to your iCloud account from a computer or another device with the Find My app installed, click Find My Phone and remove the iPhone from the devices list.
You can then restore the iPhone using the recovery mode as described in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

My daughters school is linked to the Bug Club, but I can't use it on my iPad, any advice?

My daughter's school are linked in with The Bug Club, however I can't use this on my iPad. Does any one have any advice as it would be useful to be able to use this programme to encourage to read.
Thanks

They rely on flash-so you can't use it natively.
A quick search located a page from a school where they recommend using puffin-a third party browser in the App Store.

I want to ask you if i will buy the ipad mini wifi from this site,after can i use it in Europe without problems?

Thank you

Wifi is wifi (generally) and you should be able to take your american bought device (presuming that's what you mean) to europe and get it online.
The biggest issue you may face is to make sure you have a plug adapter. Your power brick is rated for world wide power variances you'll just need an adapter to make the plug fit eurpoean plugs.

Bring up Control Center. Do that by swiping up on the home screen starting down just above the home button.
Rotation lock is on the bottom row, the second icon from the left (just to the right of the flashlight).
Click it to release it.

HT4061 I bought my mom an iPad for Christmas this year. We can't use it as it will not recognize her passwords. How do I reset it without using passwords. I want this thing wiped clean, just like it came from the store so that I might start over.

No one have any idea as to what's going on with my issue?
A lot of people do, if you take a look at the More Like This widget on the right side of this page.
Try signing out and back in to iCloud in System Preferences.

Does the iPad mini have a setting so it can be used with either 120 or 240 electrical current? If yes, how do you go about setting the desired input voltage? I will travel to Northern Europe and want to know if I will need a voltage converter.

The iPad charger is dual voltage. You need only a plug adapter to be able to plug your US charger into a European wall outlet. A basic one costs about $2.00. - $6.00. Like this...

I forgot my Apple ID password, as well as the security questions answers. Also, I currently can't use any of the rescue e-mails. Is there any other way I can reset my security answers or maybe reset the rescue e-mail? I called the Apple customer service and it was helpful, except I recieved an e-mail that expired 3 hours later, I can't call them again because I am overseas and it's really expensive to keep on calling international numbers! . Can anyone PLEASE help me?
I can't use any of my apple products properly such as my iphones because of iCloud and I can't purchase items on Apple TV!
Thank you.
