Why my ipad doesn't sync wi-fi since I upgraded to iOS 5.1 and iTunes 10.6.0.40?

why my ipad doesn't sync wi-fi since I upgraded to iOS 5.1 and iTunes 10.6.0.40? I have a pc running windows 7 and my Bonjour service is started. I use the Remote app (airplay) normally but the ipad doesn't appear listed in iTunes to sync wi-fi.

Is your iPad recognized by iTunes when connected to your computer via USB?
If so, does Sync with this iPad over Wi-Fi remain selected under the Summary tab for your iPad sync preferences with iTunes?

HT1689 I bought an Ipad recently with WiFi only - can I now upgrade to a 4G connection?

Do you have to get 4g connection when you first buy the Ipad or can you change your mind and upgrade from Wifi only to 4G coverage?

There is no upgrade.
You can get a mifi device and plan from your cell provider or use your cell phone as a hotspoy if it has hotspot capability and you have a hotspot plan.

If a get a ipad mini with wifi cellular model can i insert a GSM sim card avialble i my country india

If i get an Ipad mini with wifi + cellular , can i insert a GSM sim card available in my counrty India , and what is called nani sim card.

Have you read my reply on your duplicate thread : https://discussions.apple.com/message/22097599#22097599
If the iPhone 5 is sold in India then that implies nano-sim cards are available there - the iPad Mini takes the same size sim as the iPhone 5
What sim card a device uses : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5554

My ipad only has wifi can it be upgraded to 3g?

My ipad only came with wifi can it be upgraded to 3g?

No, the wifi-only version doesn't have a sim-card slot not the associated hardware inside. A couple of options are to get a mifi device, or if you've got an iPhone then you could use that as a hotspot.

Have you ever connected this iPad to your computer? Looked at the manual (it is bookmarked in Safari)?
1. Use the USB cable that came with your iPad, connect one end to the dock on the iPad, the other end to your computer.
2. When iTunes on your computer opens, click on the name of your iPad. It will appear on the very left hand frame under the heading DEVICES.
3. Move to the right and make sure the tab that says Summary is open. Look down on the page and you will have a selection for Restore. Click it.
4. When asked select Restore as a new iPad, not Restore from Backup.
5. Wait for the Restore to finish. Do not interrupt it before it is done or disconnect.

iPads do not do SMS.

Wi-Fi only iPads cannot receive cellular data nor can they be updated to a cellular iPad.

Update your iOS.
If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.1.3. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily. Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).
Tip 2 - If you're updating via wifi, place your iPad close to your router to preclude getting a corrupted download.

Sorry but that was a completely pointless post.

HELP! I don't know why my iPad doesn't have an app store, or maybe someone uninstalled it, but how do you access the app store? My iPad doesn't even have an app for it!
