Problem registering sim in USA for iPad

I have come from Australia for holiday & brought my iPad to use for navigation etc. Bought an AT&T sim in New York city but cannot activate account for access to 3G. When I log into AT&T site & try to fill in details, the drop down windows will not accept a non-USA state. Is this a Mac system issue? Seems to be set up to only accept two digit (I.e. USA) states. My home state is Victoria which abbreviated to "Vic". AT&T NY couldn't help & neither could Apple on 5th Avenue. Any suggestions? I'm relying on free wi Fi at present!

Go to your local grocery/Wal-Mart/Target, etc and purchase a pre-paid Visa card. Use that number and the US address of your hotel or wherever you're staying. That seemed to work in the past. Hopefully it still does. Others did the same and used the address of the closest Apple Store.

HT5163 where do I get a SIM card tool for iPad 3? My cellular data doesn't work now that I downloaded iOS6. Instructions are to remove SIM card and then reinsert and it SHOULD work.

Where di I get a SIM card tool for iPad 3? My cellular data doesn't work now tht I downloaded iOS6.1. Instructions tell me to remove SIM card and then return. Will that work? Verizon tells me it's an Apple issue.

I did that but was intimidated. With your adivce I was more aggressive and it popped open. And I removed and replaced. It works. Thanks!

Problem with downloading iOS 5 for iPad 2

I face problem while downloading iOS 5.0.1 for iPad 2. First, I have upgraded the latest version of iTune and followed the onscreen instruction for downloading iOS 5.0.1 already. However, when the downloading process continues about half an hour, I get the following message: "There was a problem downloading the software for the iPad. The network connection timed out. Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, or try again later." I try to verify and see that there is nothing wrong with my network connection. Then what should I do to get iOS 5.0.1?

Have you a firewall or anti virus software enabled? If so, disable it temporarily.

Having problems with my VGA adaptor for iPad.

I bought the VGA adaptor for iPad from BB the other day, and when it arrived, I could not get it to work with my iPad (iPad 1 with latest OS). I tried adjusting settings on my monitor (I'm using it with my second computer monitor, a 24" AOC brand), but I could not get anything to display. I tried plugging it into my new iPhone 4S, and it worked flawlessly with every application. I then tried using it with my new iPod Touch, with latest OS installed, and it would not do anything either. So I have this adaptor for iPad, and it works with my iPhone 4S, but not my iPad or iPod Touch. Does anyone out there have any answers or suggestions?
Thank you for your time...

JCinINDY-
The iPad 1 only sends video to the adapter when a slideshow or a video is playing. You can not see the normal iPad 1 display on a VGA screen. It does not support "mirroring" the way an iPhone 4S will.
That said, it is possible you have a bad connector on the iPad 1. If you can take it to an Apple Store Genius, they should be able to verify whether or not it is working correctly.

Have unlocked 3GS from EUR-can I buy a SIM in USA for Data, phone and text?

Hi -
I live in Germany and am planning a 3 month trip to the US. I have an unlocked iPhone 3Gs that I would like to use while I am in the states.
I'm exhausted and confused looking at the various prepaid phone plans in the US and I am not entirely sure that if I get a SIM card for my iPhone, will it even work. Anyone know?
Has anyone already been down this road and have a recommended prepaid monthly plan that includes unlimited data, texting, and phone calls?
Thanks for your help.

After 10 days in Scandinavia, this is what I have learned:
1.) getting the mini or nano sim has been impossible _ in Sweden, Norway and Denmark the carriers I worked with have the old sim cards that they suggest that you trim down to nano size. The one I tried was still too thick to fit in the sim card drawer on my iphone 5.
2.) Verizon was very cooperative and unlocked my phone before I left the USA.
3.) The Verizon plan may be competitive with plans that cover multiple countries in Europe. The pricing is sufficiently confusing that providers are hard to compare, ie. initial plan / sim card purchase amout, voice, data, text send / receive rates, varying monthly or package amounts of mintes and data allowances.
4.) Keeping cellular data off, using wi-fi has mostly kept cellular data usage low, with a few exceptions resulting from data use for either google or i maps and a probable butt-call or mistaken program left on without wi-fi.
5.) I am still going to check out France's rate, but I won't report more if the story stays the same.
Good luck out there.
Thank you to all that responded. Even though the information did not help resolve the problem it gave us traction.

Are there any problems saving files in Pages for iPad?

I have a new iPad, and I need to chose a wordprocessing App. Friends have advised me that there may be a difficulty saving files from Pages. If so then is there a recommendation for a different wordprocessing App ?

I use Pages every day on my iPad. I have had great success with it.
I use it with iCloud, and I use it on my Mac. I have created documents on the Mac, saved them to iCloud, opened them on the iPad, edited them there, saved that back to iCloud, opened them in the IOS Beta in iCloud.com, downloaded them to my Mac at work, and so on and so on...
I have used Pages every way that you can possibly use it with iCloud, iCloud.com, and locally on my Macs. No problems whatsoever.
Pages documents are saved automatically on the iPad as are all documents in all apps - at least as afar as I know. You do not have to actually save them on your own... no Save As... no Save commands at all in tha app. They are saved automatically with the last set of edits that you make in place.

Has anyone had any problems with the latest upgrade for iPad?

I have an iPad 1 and am being prompted to upgrade to the latest version software. Has anyone had any problems when doing this? Our PC runs on Wndows 7.
Having just resolved iTunes not connecting to the store after the recent upgrade, I'm reluctant to do something that could potentially screw up the iPad which does what we want as it is.

Ok, thanks for that. I'll hang fire for the moment & see if anyone else has any comments.
That's probably a good idea. If you are happy with the system as is, I'd wait to upgrade. I can report that my friends and family have mostly upgraded to iOS 5 without any problems, but as you can probably tell from other posts on this board, lots of people have run into problems.
As the old saying goes, if it ain't broke, don't fix it!

Font size problem in pages and keynote for iPad

I've been using pages and keynote for just under over a week and when I go to make a table and set the font size in either of them, it makes the text very large even though it is on the very small setting, even if I try to cut and paste in text that was originally small once in the table it become very big, and when I try copying tables between the two apps it makes it even worse to the point that a 5x5 table takes up 5 pages or goes off the edge of the slide.
Please help.

i have a first generation ipad but i expect it works the same way. Have you selected tiny on the table font options? also, select Times New Roman. It is a bit smaller. The tiny setting should be the same as size 12 Times New Roman font. When you select the table (tap on it) there should be a small blue dot in the bottom right corner. that is used to edit the table. It is a bit annoying, but I have not found a way to copy things into the t able in the right format, you have to change it manually every time. Hope this helps!

Problem with Adobe Content Viewer for ipad

Hello,
I created an application from folio bulider 1.350 gigabytes.
Once downloaded using Adobe Content Viewer on Ipad i can display it without any problems, but when I turn off the Ipad or delete Adobe Content Viewer by applications running in the background, and I open again Adobe Content Viewer that I get stuck and does not open.
Adobe Content Viewer I see in the background but does not stay open and do not show my application.
Should I delete the Adobe Content Viewer from iPad, download it again from the App Store and re-download my application.
It could be a problem of size? 1.350 gigabytes is too much?
It could be a problem version of indesign? I use version 5.0
Thanks and looking answers ...

Problems iOS5 + camera connection kit for iPad

The latest issue of Pages for iPad: 1. Very slow. 2. Late in reacting to typing. 3. When I go to a specific file, informs me that some images were deleted and therefore file has been changed. Then when OPEN option used, opens file slowly. Please, help!

What I have to do to correct the following problems with Pages app. For iPad:
Hesitates to display results of typing, some times for 5-6 characters;
Very slow in opening files;
Before opening of a specific file displays message: DOCUMENT DETAILS. SOME CHANGES WERE MADE TO YOUR DOCUMENT. SOME IMAGES ARE MISSING BECAUSE THEY WERE DELETED FROM YOUR DOCUMENT. We'll, nothing is missing. But it takes forever to open this file. The previous issue of Pages worked very good. But they would not let me to go back to it. Please, help!

Tmobile did the exact same thing to me. So that is customer service at work in general. Nice try though lol.
To the OP
I see you said You paid for shipping, did you Insure it? Claim insurance on it. If you did not, It may not be Verizon or your fault in the sense of the phone not making it to the warehouse. There are people out in the postal world that will steal phones that are not insured. It could have been a Verizon employee, i suppose.
But, if this was to be a bought in court, if you shipped it with out insurance, sadly your at fault.
Do you still have the Serial number of your old phone? If so, you should be able to track where your phone is (if it is reported as a defect/damaged) If so, you may be able to use that as proof. If it does not show up as a defect or what ever they determine use as a loss, then you know it did not make it to the warehouse to be checked in. I would suspect Apple or Verizon could tell you what the Serial number came up as.

Can you take the SIM card from an IPad and transfer it to a NEW Ipad (not yet purchased) without any problems? Are there any complicated steps involved? Thanks.

Can you take the SIM card from an IPad and transfer it to a NEW Ipad (not yet purchased) without any problems? Are there any complicated steps involved? This is for my boss.
Please let me know. Thanks in advance.

Simple answer is YES.
The only caviat is for instance in the UK some iPads are locked to a specific network provider and therefore if the new iPad is locked then it will only work on the specific network it is locked to.

Ipad 2 not registering SIM

Hi iPad 2 not registering sim despite one being present and being put in and removed several times and rebooted ....any suggestions happened a week after iCloud update

Had this exact same problem over this past weekend with my iPad 2 after I did an upgrade to iOS 5. I had to erase the entire device, did a full restore from iTunes, and the problem went away. Saw the same symptom again today during a sync to iTunes, but went away again as soon as I unplugged the device from the sync cable. Hoping this is simply an issue with the iOS upgrade vs a hardware issue...

Does anyone have feedback regarding the Square register app for iPad?

Does anyone have feedback regarding using the Square register app for ipad?

To explore this further, using your computer's browser log into icloud.com and look at the contacts page.
1) If contacts are missing there as well, then some device is deleting contacts and the changes are affecting the icloud database. Also the iPad would not be connecting to icloud since it still has those contacts.
2) If contacts are all there, then the iphone is not syncing with icloud, and the iphone has a problem.
If #1 is true, then are you sure no one else (a family member, friend, etc.) is using your icloud account on their computer/device? If no one is, then I suspect user error on the iphone.
