My ipad works without APN settings

its posible?

Try quitting the settings app and then restart the iPad. If that doesn't help - reset the iPad.
In order to quit the app - Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

When i tried to download iOS8 on my iPad Mini it told me that I needed to connect my iPad to iTunes, I have done that and now it says I need to restore my iPad. How can I get my iPad working without losing everything on my iPad?

When i tried to download iOS8 on my iPad Mini it told me that I needed to connect my iPad to iTunes, I have done that and now it says I need to restore my iPad. How can I get my iPad working without losing everything on my iPad? I don't want to lose my apps and photos!
Help would be much appreciated!

If you are getting the connect to iTunes screen then it's too late to take a new backup and/or copy anything off it. Prior to starting the update did you take a backup, either to the cloud and/or to your computer's iTunes ? If not then have you recently taken a backup that might have your photos and apps content/settings in it ?
As long as the apps are still in your country's store then you should be able to redownload them via the Purchased tab in the App Store app (and the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage on your computer's iTunes), and if the apps store their content on a server/cloud service then you might be able to get their content back from that - if they store their content on the device then you will need to have a backup.
For our photos you could try doing a search for programs that claim to be able to recover content from a device - I haven't used any so I can't suggest one.

Will the iPad work WITHOUT first connecting to iTunes?

I picked up an iPad last week but I failed to realize that it wouldn't work with my current 10.4.11 version of OSX (G5 iMac - non intel) ... yes, I know, bonehead move.
While I"m searching for OSX 10.5, is it still possible to use the iPad without going through iTunes? I turned the iPad on but the iTunes connection illustration came up and I can't seem to bypass this component. If I connect it to the iMac a pop up window appears stating that it won't work with the current OS ... any suggestions or do I simply have to wait until I upgrade the OS?
Thanks.

You are posting a problem that has extremely few documented cases, and specifically to you. This is not affecting 99% of the iPads out there, that is not a valid reason to say it is a fact. I have had my ipad since day one and not had an issue such as you are having. So have countless other people on these forums. Yes, you have an issue with YOUR iPad. This does not mean that it will happen to everyone else to the fact that they need to be informed falsely.
The primary objective of these discussions are to educate and inform user on how to fix problems they are having. Yesterday I learned something new about finder while I was helping them with an issue with the dock. Educating and informing does not mean posting about specific case issues as if they were wide-spread when based on the posts they are not.

Will any of a WiFi iPad work without WiFi?

IF I bought a WiFi iPad mini, will it work at all when not on WiFi. I go in and out of hotspots on my way home from work and school. Or do I need the 4G as well?

If you need Internet access on the go then apps that need data from the Intenet via just WiFi won't work.
You would need an iPad with both WiFi and 4G.
Interestingly, The only exception I have found is that when using the Apple Maps app, as long as you plot a route over Wifi before you head out to the road, and as long as as you leave WiFi active, Apple Maps will show and track your movements on the map in real time.I am not sure how it does this, but it works real well for me.

Have restored iPad, have reset network settings, have tried turning on aeroplane mode and off again. Changed apn settings.

Tried this 3G card on another iPad - working fine - no problems.

UPDATE #2:
I chatted with Ashley from Apple Support yesterday and she suggested me to restore the phone and set it up AS NEW, NOT restore from backup.
And it worked!
Of course, you have to back up everything, but I have my contacts, notes, and pictures on iCloud. All I did was merge them back to the phone from iCloud Setting.
One downside: you'll lose all text messages. But it's worth it.
So, thank you, Ashley!

IPad - after software upgrade the APN settings keep resetting by themselves. There are multilple accounts of this happening. Please help.

Hello,
I have a problem with an iPad 2. After the software upgrade to iOS 5 the APN settings keep resetting all by themselves (I set the APN, I get out of the setting by pressing the back arrow on the top left of the screen, I get back in there and the APN setting is gone). Of course, the internet connection si not working. I've seen other people having the same problem on their iPads after the upgrade.
Does anyone have any idea what the problem could be?

I too am experiencing this issue - on an iPad 2 using a UK BT DATA plan SIM. This is not an issue with the SIM, as I have tried it in a different iPad and it works without any problems.
I have also tried all recent iOS updates, hoping it would overcome the issue - but no joy.
Can we have some assistance from the fine people at Apple please???
It is getting rather infuriating

My ipad is not showing the apn settings when i selected cellular data option on settings? y?

my ipad is not showing the apn settings when i selected cellular data option on settings? y?

pvonk, you were right, something was amiss. It is just a shared calendar (me and my PA) and nothing I could do would seemingly connect the iCal and cloud accounts.
Late last night I upgraded from OSX 10.7.4 to 10.7.5, as I thought that might resolve some settings or minor corruptions in the way my Mac Book was working.
This morning I opened iCal, and once again it attempted to refresh the page. And a few seconds later my iCloud diary appeared on iCal.
The moral of this issue is I think as follows.... when you check all the settings and follow all the advice, and something like this is still not working then it could be the software is slightly corrupt, so a re-install or applying an update (if there is one available) will help resolve issues.
So spot on advice, something was amiss and is now resolved thanks

HT5957 APN settings don't save on my iPad after software update iOS 7.0.2

Since the software update to iOS 7.0.2 my iPad 2 will no longer save my carrier APN settings. I have spoken to the carrier (virgin) and have tried to reset the APN to factory default then re-enter the APN settings. Nothing appears to be working and virgin told me it is the fault of the apple software update. Can anyone help or can Apple please fix this ASAP? I can't use my 3G at all, only wifi and need 3G access while travelling.

I would like to be able to download updates for my Iphone and Ipad on my work computer but my home computer has all of my music on Itunes. How do i downlaod updates at work without deleting all of the music which is stored on my home computer/Itunes?

I would like to be able to download software updates on my Iphone and Ipad at work without erasing my music. My home computer/Itunes has all of my music saved. is there a way to use two computers w/o erasing information? Or can i transfer the music from my Iphone to my work computer?

- An iPod can only sync with one iTunes library. Yu can however manage music and videos among different computers by:
Using iPhone, iPad, or iPod with multiple computers
- To change syncing computer, move all the media to compute r#2
- Connect the iPod to #2 and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
- Restore the iPod from that backup
Note tha the iPod backup the iTunes makes does not include synced media like apps and music.

I am unable to connect wifi on my phone 4s since last 2 weeks... I am living in shanghai and did not have this issue since 2 weeks... iPad works fine... Please suggest some measures... Tried the on off reset settings etc. but no luck ...
In fact after updating the software to the latest version I am having more of this... Sometimes the wifi button freezes an I can't even slide it to on / off...
Thanks

Noooo! Actually I too had d same prob wit my iPhone 4S. When I connect to my wifi network it won't get connected or it wil be grey scaled! I took it to d istore and since I had warranty they replaced my IPhone. It iPad charger has high volt than ur iPhone charger so when u connect wit it, there is a chance where large amount of current passes thru ur iPhone. So for sure it wil damage ur motherboard and its parts! Many said that iOS 6 or 6.0.1 or 6.1 was d reason for tis wifi prob! But apple never made its mistake wit it's software. If and only if u hav hardware prob u wil hav these sort of wifi prob Bluetooth prob! So best way s to replace ur iPhone!

Hi everobody,
Is it possible to recharge the battery of my ipod shuffle and to share musics from only an ipad? In other word, can I work without a PC? thx for your answers

Unfortunately, you can not. Content can only be synced to the Shuffle via iTunes on a PC or Mac.

You might have better luck contacting your carrier - is this a feature they support?

Does gps work on ipad 3 without cell service or wifi connection?

does gps work on ipad 3 without cell service or wifi connection?

Yes it works. Initial position acquisition time may be longer, but works fine. Some applications download maps from the network. Unless your application has built in maps or the maps are cached, you won't be able to access maps or navigation feature. But GPS will work.

9650 Radio Companion App- suddenly stopped working error 201 need APN settings?

The error code directs me to the Advanced options/TCP settings and it asks for APN settings. It was working fine until about a week ago and I can't find these settings anywhere. The web site the help file directs you to does NOT list Verizon network. Has all the others though.
Any help appreciated!

Please contact your carrier as it sounds like something has changed on their side. Please make sure that they are not blocking you in any way. You can also contact [email protected] for help as APN settings are specific to the carrier you are using. Please check the Nobex website for more information. www.nobexrc.com.
Hope this helps!
