Is there a way to totally turn off 3G/LTE on iPad and make it a wifi model?

I know this is a kind of odd question but let me explain. I bought an original iPad around 18 months ago and now I'm going to upgrade to a new iPad as soon as possible, when I bought the original iPad I bought the 3G version but after a couple days I didn't think that I was going to use it much so I returned it to the store and got a wifi model, but there were a few times that I was travelling and I didn't have wifi around and 3G would be useful, plus other times that I didn't knew the city I was in so I used my iPhone's GPS to get around but I kept thinking how better it would be to use the iPad's larger screen so I'd like to have the 3G+GPS there just for convenience. I'd like to know if it is possible not have a SIM inside the iPad, not recieve the no SIM error, have data turned off and see on the top left corner the iPad name instead of "no SIM" or the little airplane icon since that was one solution not to recieve the no SIM error.

Without checking myself, just be aware that the iPad OS generally only provides error signals that are relevant. It wouldn't seem relevant to report on a missing SIM with Cellular turned off, and I'd therefore expect that you wouldn't see that message after having done so.
Don't turn on Airplane Mode, however (that's what's shown by the "little airplace icon") as that also shuts down your wifi.
And yes, with Cellular off it just says "iPad" there on the status bar, exactly as described in your User's Guide and other locations.

HT1694 Is there a way to have emails sent to both your ipad and desktop and then be able to delete them off of your ipad while having them stay on the computer? Two people use the same email account.

My parents use the same email address and both want to access all the emails that come in. My mom uses the ipad and my dad using the desktop. Recently the ipad started deleting emails off of the desktop when you deleted them off the ipad. Is there a way to get the messages deleted from the ipad to stay in the inbox on the desktop? Thanks!

Yes, that would require a POP type email account. What you describe now is the proper functioning of an IMAP type email account.
Contact your email provider to see if they can help.

Is there another way to completely turn off my iPod to save battery?

I've heard that turning off my iPod by holding the Play/Pause button is just putting it into a sort of "Sleep" Mode, where it appears to be off but is actually still using a considerable amount of battery.
Is there another way, a better way, to completely turn it off?
Thanks.

After it is off for a while it will go into a deeper sleep on its own.
It is not using much battery power when you put it to sleep by holding down the play button. Make sure you activate the hold button after you do this so it does not inadvertently "wake up".

On my new ipad air, my photostream turned itself on, but i didnt want to have my photos go to my photostream, is there any way i could turn off the photostream without having to delete all of the photos that are already on the ipad?

HELP!!!

Welcome to the Apple Community.
If you turn off photo stream it will only remove the photo stream album, it won't remove photos from your camera roll.

I accidently deleted some contacts that I need. I still have them on my IPAD because I disabled my contacts in icloud. Is there a way to reload these deleted contacts using my IPAD and icloud?

I accidently deleted some contacts that I still need. Because of Icloud they are now deleted on all my devices such as my Iphone and PC (outlook). I still have them on my IPAD because I disabled my contacts on Icloud on my IPAD. Is there a way to reload these contacts from my IPAD back to my Iphone and PC using Icloud? Thank you.

Hi mth3333,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
You can sync the contacts on your iPad with your computer. See this article for the steps:
iOS: How to transfer or sync content to your computer
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1296
Contacts
To sync contacts with your computer, choose "Sync Contacts with" within iTunes for Windows, or "Sync Address Book Contacts" on your Mac.
You can sync your contacts with:
Microsoft Outlook 2003, Microsoft Outlook 2007, Microsoft Outlook 2010 (Windows XP, Windows Vista, or Windows 7)
Windows Address Book (Windows XP)
Windows Contacts (Windows Vista / Windows 7)
Address Book (Mac OS X)
Microsoft Entourage 2004, Microsoft Entourage 2008, or Microsoft Outlook 2011 for Mac
Note: If using Microsoft Entourage, use Microsoft Entourage 2008 12.1.2 or later if syncing with Mac OS X v10.6 or later. If you would like to sync data on your Mac with Entourage, enable syncing between Entourage and Address Book.
Notes:
When syncing contacts, you can choose to sync all of your contacts or only selected groups. The option to sync selected items may not show up until after the first sync.
You can select a group of contacts to which all new contacts created on your iOS device will be added.
Regards,
Jeremy

How to turn off syncing between My iPad and iPhone

Every time I send an iMessage or text message from my iPhone, it shows up on my iPad's iMessage app. This also works vice versa. This is quite annoying because if I get a text message (or phone call) while I'm out, the iPad will ring and give of all my notification sounds at home.

Hi Joshua.Clapper,
I understand you no longer want to receive messages and sms on your iPad. You can do this by disabling SMS Relay, or by signing out of iMessage entirely. The following articles offer further guidance:
Connect your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Mac using Continuity - Apple Support
SMS
With Continuity, all the SMS and MMS text messages you send and receive on your iPhone also appear on your Mac, iPad, and iPod touch. Even if the person you’re communicating with doesn’t have an iPhone. And regardless of what phone they have, you can reply from whichever device is closest to you, including your iPad or Mac. You can also initiate a conversation by clicking a phone number in Safari, Contacts, or Calendar.
To use Continuity for SMS and MMS with your iPhone and your Mac, iPad or iPod touch
Your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch need to use iOS 8.1, and your Mac needs to use OS X Yosemite.
Sign in to iMessage on your iPhone, your other iOS devices, and your Mac using the same Apple ID.
On your iPhone:
Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > You Can Be Reached By, and add a check to both your phone number and email address.
Go to Messages > Text Message Forwarding, and enable the device(s) you would like to forward messages to.
Your Mac, iPad, or iPod touch will display a code. Enter this code on your iPhone to verify the SMS feature.
If you can't send or receive messages on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
Turn iMessage off and back on
Go to Settings > Messages and turn iMessage off
Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
Take care,

Is there a way to get a different browser on my iPad AND do it through a sync form my MacBook

I need a different browser on my iPad so it will go through my firewall, I use Sonic Wall.........I can't get on the Internet with the iPad to download anything so I would have to download something to my MacBook and sync to the iPad, sounds like a nightmare right?? Any suggestions.

No really, just use iTunes to find another browser in the App Store for the iPadm, and then sync it over.
With that said, I{m not sure a different browser is going to do any good. Perhaps your firewall can be configured to let the iPad through?

Ts. It is in iCloud, but not in Yahoo. My iCloud Contacts had way more contacts, so I turned of contacts on my IPad and deleted them. I turned it back on and they were supposed to Sync.

Is there a way of swapping all data over from one ipad to another ipad and vice verse?

Another family member and I both have iPad 3, they have with 3g and mine just wifi. We are discussing swapping so I can have the 3g feature as its more useful for me. Is there a way of swapping all their data to my ipad and my data to their ipad so it is a straight swap?

What you want to do would be no different that restoring your current content to a brand new iPad. You should both do as described below and then erase your respective devices and make the swap.
First ... and you both want to do this.... Transfer purchases from your iPad into iTunes on your computer, backup the iPad and then sync with iTunes.
These two articles will explain how to do that.
Transfer purchases.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848
How to backup and restore from a backup
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
You may want to import photos from the device to your computer as well so that you can sync them back at a later time. Your camera roll photos are stored in the backup, but it never hurts to be proactive.
Read about importing photos here.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083
After you have transferred purchases, backed up and transferred photos, you can erase your iPad before you swap devices. Settings>General>Reset>Erase all content and settings. That will completely wipe your devices.
Now you can swap and you will both be starting from scratch like you did when the iPad was new.
When you re-activate the new iPad, the one you are getting from your family member - toward the end of the activation process you will be given the opportunity to restore from an iCloud or iTunes backup. You want to select the iTunes option. So you will have to connect the iPad to your computer's iTunes and restore from the backup and then sync with iTunes.
Restoring from the backup will recover all of you app data and settings, syncing with iTunes will recover all of your apps, books, photos, music and other media

I turned off icloud on my calendar and it deleted my entire calendar. I did this because I wanted to add a sport site to auto add my daughters hockey schedule. For some reason it was not accepting this URL? Is there a way of getting my calendar back?

Perfect, that worked. But I still cannot get this certain URL to work. It gives me an error message 1. Any ideas on that?
