So do you need wifi with iPad Air to get internet? Or can I take it on the road and use the internet
Yes no?
If you don't have a cellular iPad, then yes, you must have a Wifi connection to access the internet.
That said, if you have an iPhone you can create a Wifi hotspot from your iPhone to your iPad. Data charges do apply, so you'd need to add the service from your cell company.
Or, you can buy a Mifi from a cell carrier as well, which would give you wifi access to your iPad.

I just purchased the I5, and use the same itunes as my wife. All my wifes contacts showed up on my phone. Is there a way to avoid this?
She needs to call the carrier on her old iPhone and have it removed from her account.
Once she does that you will not be able to use iMessage because that only works Apple to Apple.
You will need to use something else like Skype instead.

Mac book pro stops responding after Maverick OS restart. Currently have a circle with a line through it after 20+ hours. Tried to shut it down and use the Time Machine to restore but no response. How can I restore with Time Machine if it will not start?
sonjadg,
you can purchase a replacement pair of grey installation DVDs for your MacBook Pro from either Apple or iFixit. If Startup Manager is only showing an OS X Installer volume, then it sounds like the Mavericks installer had a problem midway through its installation process. To fix this, you’re going to need to erase your internal disk and reïnstall your original version of OS X from the grey Mac OS X Install DVD, use Software Update to get it back to 10.6.8 (presuming that your MacBook Pro originally came with Snow Leopard), and then restore from Time Machine. -
I just purchased an extreme. I have an express. The sales guy recommended setting up a hot spot with the express and use the extreme as a base station. What does he mean and how do I do this? What are the advantages? How do I set this up?????
I think he means to set up the main extreme as the main router or "main base station", and then use the express to "extend" the network.
You can look up the manual for your express here for more details:
http://support.apple.com/manuals/
Extend the range of your network by adding AirPort Express to your existing AirPortExtreme or AirPort Express wireless network (this is called a Wireless DistributionSystem, or WDS). "
Extending the Range of an Existing AirPort Extreme or
AirPort Express Network
You can extend the range of an existing AirPort Extreme or AirPort Express wirelessnetwork by setting it up in a WDS. Wireless computers can connect to the network andshare the Internet connection, share files, and play network games. If you connect yourAirPort Express to your home stereo, computers on your wireless network can useAirTunes to play music on the stereo from iTunes. If you connect a USB printer to yourAirPort Express, all of the computers on the network can print to it.
n Open the AirPort Setup Assistant on a Macintosh, or the AirPort Express Assistant on acomputer using Windows XP. Follow the onscreen instructions to extend the range ofyour AirPort Extreme or AirPort Express network.
Note: Extending the range of a network using WDS may reduce overall networkperformance. -
I am a new iPhone 5s user. I like many of the features it offers. I don't like that I cannot talk and use the internet (if I am away from WI-FI) and this phone is too small. I am actually thinking of returning it and going back to an Android. After all the hassle it took to get all my stuff working on this phone , it may be worth the switch. This phone needs to be able to multitask freely in this day and age. Also Safari is not the best search engine but I could work with it if I could talk and use it at the same time. I use my phone for business and this is a feature that is needed in my line of work.

The iPhone is working, as designed and advertised. In this case, the user failed to educate themselves properly, either by proper research or asking the right questions, before purchasing the device.
I understand that the OP failed to do research. But then, I wasn't replying to the OP. I was replying to Chris. I have Verizon. I can talk and use data at the same time with my Droid Maxx. Therefore, the problem is not just with the network. It would be technically possible for an iPhone to do that on Verizon/Sprint if Apple had chosen to use a different chip, such as the kind other phone manufacturers have elected to use.
Of course, this is probably all irrelevant to the OP's issue. It was merely a point of clarification, especially for those people who are used to being able to use both voice and data at the same time on Verizon. When they switch to an iPhone, they are often surprized at the limitation.
Best of luck. -
When I plug my iPhone or iPad directly into my lap top, using the USB cord, the devices don't even register with iTunes as being present. I am completely stumped. I believe this bagan with my last iTunes update. The last time I syced any device was Oct 23, 2013. During that time I bought two new apple products and the same problem, when I plug them in they do not even show up as being available to sync. Any ideas why this is happening?

this program works with the iRig and then iShred cable to use an electric guitar right?
Mr. Rodriquez,
Thank you very much for your response. Another concern of mine is overwelming the APs. We have 70 of the
"AIR-LAP1131-AG-A-K9" APs and from what I've seen the 386 clients the 4404 knows of includes the 162 clients the 4402 knows of.
I don't how of a way to easily determine how many clients we have per AP, so I am assuming the clients are distributed somewhat evenly. Considering the number of APs and clients we currently have do you see any problem with increases our DHCP leases to 200 or 250?
Thank You,

Hi,
I have a problem,
I use to drive costumers cars, I don't have any devices to pair to my Iphone5.. but today I drive a car and my Iphone ask me if I want to pair the phone to the car, and I chose "Cancel" ..
since that..
every time I want to play a song the phone acts like if it is connected to a car or some other device, every time I try to make a call, I only can use the hands free speaker or the headphones, because if I use the normal speaker to listen with the phone next to my face, the person that I am calling can listen me, but I dont..
so what I think it happens is like.. the phone connects to the car, the car is with the client, so, now, I can't have the the device "on" to my phone recognise it, so I would be able to delete it..
how do I solve this situation.. how can I delete a device that my Iphone is programed to use it, even when bluetooth is off....Hi jonunes!
I have an article for you that I believe will help you troubleshoot this issue with your iPhone:
iPhone: No sound or distorted sound from speaker

Are you locked into a plan (or network) with IPad Air cellular?
I just wanted to know if you can choose not to have any cellular provider until you are in need of it.
Also can you put a foreign sim card in it and use the local phone network to use your cellular??
Many thanks for your time.A wifi-only iPad doesn't have a sim-card slot, only the cellular models do. If they are available in your country then you could get a mifi device and use the sim-card in that and use that as a mobile hotspot for your iPad
