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.

I have an ipad only over wifi can i choose a plan?

I have ipad3 only over wifi if i decide to want to have a plan can i?

If you have the 4G model then you can sign up to a plan when you need to start using 3G/4G on it, until then you can stay on wifi. If you have the wifi-only model then you can't as it doesn't have the 3G/4G hardware within it - in which case you can either return your iPad for a refund and get the 4G version (Apple stores have a 14 day returns period for purchases from them), or you could use an iPhone as a personal hotspot for it or get a mifi device (which use sim cards and act as a mobile hotspot).

My iPad only has a blank screen, it will not open at all. I tried to restore and that did nothing. I am not sure how to proceed. It is charged.

My iPad only has a blank screen. If you press the two buttons to try to get it to restart all you get is a faint light for al few seconds and then it goes back to a black screen. I did try to restore by hooking up to my mac, but I still have nothing.

First thing to try is a reboot of your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
Hold those buttons a long time before letting them go. Also it might be best to leave the iPad on the charger overnight before resetting it.
If this doesn't work, it's time to make an appointment at an Apple store for a Consultation.

I have an ipad that only has wifi and I am unable to connect because all the networks are locked for access. Is there anything that I can attached to my ipad that will make it possible for me to access the internet

I need help. Just purchased an ipad with wifi service only. Is there anything that I can get that will allow me to access the internet. I keep getting network connections that have a lock which makes it unable to log on. Picking up numerous with sites with the lock. Help did I make a mistake in getting this ipad. If so, can I trade it in for one that is more network friendly.

If you expect to use a WiFi only iPad it needs a wireless network. It is customary to have your own versus using someone else's.
Nothing is more network friendly than an iPad.
You couldn't possibly have expected to sponge off a service someone else is paying for?

Well, I have been excited by the idea that BBM is available for me on an apple product. So as I pressed install in the App Store, it said I am not compatible to get BBM. If anyone does have it on their ipad mini with wifi ( model number A1432 ) Can you please respond on how I can? Thanks :) x

While the Instagram App doesn't show when searching for iPad specific Apps, it does show as being compatible with the iPad when searching.

ITunes says my 64GB iPad only has 58GB

I have a 3G 64GB iPad 2 but when I connect it to iTunes says it only has 58.12 GB, where has the other 6 GB gone and how can I get it back?
Thanks,
Dan

Not to mention the iOS which allows the iPad to run all of your apps. It is no different than what is listed for the hard drive capacity on a computer. The hard drive may have a total of 500 GB capacity - but it is not all available for use since the operating system and any pre installed applications take up part of that storage.

Got ipad without 3G Wifi- can i order it seperately?

I ordered the most basic ipad model and didn't get the 3G + Wifi preinstalled. is there any way i can order it or get internet anyway?

Yes and no. Well actually, NO but you do have options that don't seem all that attractive. Your iPad does have WiFi just not 3G. You can't add the 3G to a wifi only iPad but you could resort to something like the Verizon MiFi to get a wifi cellular connection wherever you may be. I think you're looking at around $50-$60 a month for that solution however.

IPad only has a black screen yet still lights up

My iPad 2 suddenly only has a black screen, however it lights up when home button or power button is pressed, but it is still a black screen! How do I fix this? Please Help!
I also have a game question but that is the least of my worries right now.

Hi,
With the iPad turned on try a reset by holding down both the Home icon and power button together for about 10 seconds, you should then see an Apple logo in the middle of the screen.
Let us know how you get on, good luck.
Regards,
Steve

My iPad only has sound when the earphones are plugged in. The switch that controls the volume works then, but not when I take the earphones out. Suggestions?

Can I add cellular service on an iPad that only has wifi?

i want to add cellular service to an iPad I originally bought with just wifi. Is that possible?

You can't add it to the 'guts' of the iPad. It's a sealed system.
What you can do is go for a device like a Mifi. It's a battery operated portable wifi hotspot that you can then connect your ipad to.
I believe that every major provider has their version of the device so look for hte provider that offers you the best options and go from there.

HT201401 After updating to iOS 6 my iPad only has image to connect to iTunes. I plug it in and it says it is in recovery mode and have to restore to original settings.. why? what can I do?

I did the new update for iOS 6. Afterwards it says it had to restart and it did. Then the image saying to plug into iTunes appeared. I plugged it in and it says it is in "recovery mode".. Not sure what to do? I really don't want to wipe it clean, have it alot of info saved. What can I do? Can I take back the upgrade back? I need this fixed quick.

Your device is in recovery mode. All data on it are gone.
Certainly you backed up your device before attempting something major like a software upgrade right? If you didn't perfom this most basic of tasks, then your data are gone.
