Is the iPad locked or unlocked?

Sigh...
For the last three weeks after countless of calls to Apple USA/Canada, AT&T and Rogers...I have been getting different answers everytime! Out of 40% of Apple representatives claimed that the iPad is LOCKED. While duh, it says so on Apple.com that it is UNLOCKED! When Steve Jobs announced the iPad in the keynote he mentioned "The Magical Revolutionary iPad is UNLOCKED!"
AT&T has been very unhelpful and every one of them claim that the device is LOCKED.
Who am I to believe???

US market iPads are effectively locked to AT&T because there is no other cellular provider with a compatible service, however, the iPad itself is not locked. Prior to the launch in other countries, US iPads have been used successfully with service providers elsewhere.

  • How do I get The ipad locked to run only one application for customers (perhaps a webapp)

    how do I get The ipad locked to run only one application for customers (just one web app, or video- instructions, or just safari). What I really want is that my customers to only use one app that has all my services. It is an interactive app so I would not like them to go surfing elsewhere while they are in my store.
    Is it possible to do this on the iPad ?

    Try this:

  • I am having an issue where whenever I am at the document list and do edit, to copy or delete a document the iPad locks up. Happens for both pages and numbers. Also happens on my iPhone, but only once in a while. Help.

    I am having an issue with both Pages and Numbers on my iPad. Whenever I am at the document list page and use "edit" to make a copy of a document or delete it, the iPad locks up. Happens almost every time. Also happens on my iPhone but only once in a while. Thought of completely redoing the iPad, but if it happens on the phone as well, won't help. ???

  • HT1349 I've been desperately trying to locate my iPad for 3 days now.  I'm traveling in the Middle East and do not have the Serial Number with me.  The iPad was linked to my iPhone, how can I either locate the iPad, lock it, or find the Serial Number usin

    I'm trying to find my iPad but I'm traveling and don't have the serial number.  I cannot figure out how to use my iPhone to locate it.  Can anyone assist?

    Download the Find My iPhone app from the App Store to your iPhone.
    Then, launch the app, log in with the Apple ID & password used for your iPad.
    Note that unless you had enabled the FMiP function on the iPad under Settings > iCloud, you will not be able to track the device.

  • Problems placing graphic into table cell. It makes the iPad locks up when previewing that page.

    I have 3 table cells that need a jpeg graphic placed into them.
    I can paste a grahic into a table cell, but when i try to preview that page on the iPad, ibook shuts down. I must be placing the graphic wrong or formats are wrong, like object wrap or "inline" "floating" or "anchored". the graphic shows up in the fill once I copy and paste into the cell, but it doesnt show up when I look at the file info in the inspector. Also, once I preview the iBook author project on my iPad, that page will shut down the iBook app.

    Well KT.....I tried that. But it still didnt work. I have 2 pages that have tables. The first page is just a full page with text only with a gradient colored screen in the table column heads. The 2nd page has the graphic illustration in the 3 table cells. Both pages shut down when opened to full screen view. But when i remove the graphic, there is no problem with a shut down. I know its got to be something you have to do but is unwritten in any manual.

  • HT4946 My Ipad is plugged into the wall.  It is locked and telling me to backup to icloud.  The ipad will NOT unlock, even after I push ok.  Help!

    My ipad is plugged into the wall.  It is locked and telling me to backup to icloud.  I can not unlock it even after I press ok.  Do you have any advice?

    A reset should help. Tap and hold the Home button and the On/Off button at the same time for approximately 10-15 seconds, until the Apple logo reappears. When the logo reappears, release both buttons and await restart.

  • TS4036 my ipad is locked with a box that says icloud backup.  This ipad hasn't been backed up in 2 weeks.  Backups happen when this ipad is plugged in, locked, and connected to WiFi.  I can't get the ipad screen to unlock even if plugged in.

    See above description

    You might try a forced shutdown to begin with, hold down the top and home buttons together until the device shuts down, then restart it.

  • Is the iPad 2 unlocked?

    Help, someone:  Is the iPad 2 (3G) unlocked?  Meaning if I take it to Australia on a trip, can I put a locally bought SIM card into the slot and have it work like a US SIM card would in the US?  Thanks.   Cliff

    The GSM/3G iPad is not sold as carrier locked.
    If a GSM carrier in another country provides a data plan only for a device like the iPad along with a micro-SIM card, you should be able to use it with a GSM/3G iPad purchased in the U.S.

  • Suggest RIM change the lock screen unlocking style

    the current  lock screen unlocking style is fresh and great,BUT too many times unexpected unlocking happened when we put the Z10 in the pocket because the skin of our body under the pocket touch the screen then unlock the lock screen unexpectedly and randomly.

    It could tap the screen for x seconds? I think your situation is very unlikely

  • How can I check to see if my iPad is factory unlocked

    Hi, I'm having problem using a sim in my iPad when there is no Wi-Fi. I have been told that iPads lock to the first sim that is installed. As I have now changed my network provider, could this be the reason my new sim does not work?
    If this is the case, how can I check to see if the iPad is still unlocked, as I do not have another sim card to try. More importantly, How do I unlock my iPad???
    Thanks for your help
    RM

    The only iPads that are unlocked (for use in the US) are iPads that shipped with the Apple Sim card.  I believe that is the iPad Air 2 and the iPad Mini with Retina.  The other iPads are locked to the carrier they were purchased for use with, and that cannot be changed.  The only exception would be in using a sim card in another country. 
    If it is an AT&T iPad, you have to use AT&T.  Same for Sprint, Verizon & T-Mobile.

  • 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.
