Traveling with IPAD through Scandinavia

Has anyone had experience traveling through Scandinavia using an IPAD? I understand that you need to be careful about roaming as that can be very expensive. Do you recommend ATT vs. Verizon? Any particular IPAD usage that you found to be indispensable?

For an iPad 3 it does not matter. If iPad 2 you need a AT&T model.

Traveling with iPad in Italy

I am traveling to Italy this summer. I have purchased a power converter, should I anticipate any problems charging my iPad or iPhone? Can I use a multiple plug with the converter and charge both devices? Thanks.

The iPad needs 10w and the iPhone 5w
The ipad Apple powerpack will happily charge both
it is 110-240v 50/60 cycles so will work anywhere on the planet with a suitable
pin convertor
( it will not damage the iPhone which will only take the charge it requires )

Car travel with ipad

I am car traveling across the country with my new ipad and will have to leave it in the car at times.
What is the best way to do this? I will be out West where it is 95 degrees. If I take it hiking it will be in
my backpack in the sun, also.

The best thing to do is not leave it in the car at all. A car's interior can easily rise above 120 degrees and often more, temperatures that will not be good for your iPad and well above Apple's statement of allowed nonoperating temperatures (113 degrees max). If you do have to leave it in the car, make sure at least that the windows are open a bit and use a windshield screen so as to try to keep the temperatures down.
As to a backpack, it's unlikely that your backpack would get hot enough to damage the iPad, but keep your iPad insulated in something, use a light-colored backpack if you have a choice, and try not to leave the backpack sitting in the sun for a long time.
Regards.

Ill be traveling on an extended road trip, and would like to leave my Macbook Pro home, and only take my iPad.
Id like to be able to access all my files on the Macbook via internet with the iPad. Is it possible ?

Any computer can be hacked. Passwords can be bypassed.
I would reduce the amount of sensitive information on your iPad to the absolute minimum.
According to media reports, law enforcement officials (who can sometimes also be criminals) have tools to hack into handheld devices.

I had the same trouble. This link provided all I needed to download over 1300 photos via Bluetooth.

Travel With Ipad

Is the Ipad able to be plugged into 220 plugs in Europe like the Iphone?

Re: iPad use when traveling in Europe.......Would it be better to get/use an iPad there instead of my iPhone? All I want to do is email, but don't want the long distance charges on the phone, (so I'll turn off my "push"). I'm not the most savy user, but it seems like iPad's separate billing system is good for traveling?

Travel with iPad to China

Do I need a converter to use my iPad in China? I have a plug adapter, but do I need a converter to change 220V to 110V in order to use my iPad safely?

Yes. But to be sure look at the small writing on the charger. It should say 100 volts to 220 volts or similar.

I am unable to see the airplay icon on my macbook air, iphone or iPad which would enable me to use my Bose speaker through airplay. I set this up in the UK but have taken my macbook and bose speaker travelling with through Thailand. Ive wifi in my room and am able to access the internet on my laptop, Ive also been able to through the Bose Soundlink air wifi set application connect the bose speaker to the Wifi too.
I am only able to play my itunes through my macbook speakers and cannot find the airplay button which should be next to the volume slide once turned down to less than 1/3 of the volume..

Thanks for your help. Since I'm uninterested in loading all my photos (the only option) into photostream, I won't be able to use the settings in ATV. I guess I'm just stuck with using iPhoto on my MB Air. Thanks again.

Traveling with your iPad? A warning.

If you are planning on traveling to/through Israel with your iPad, don't. Israel has banned the iPad there and is confiscating them from travelers. The problem is purported to be the WiFi frequencies used by the iPad. (Yes, the same frequencies that seem to be OK in laptops and smartphones, which are NOT banned).

Jake81 wrote:
Israel is banning iPads for the same reason some universities such as Princeton are banning them from their networks. The ipad's wifi signal operates on a frequency that doesn't play nice with other machines on the network.
Not exactly.... Israel is not allowing iPads because of a radio frequency concern, while Princeton is requiring students with iPads to follow certain steps to make sure they do hold onto their DHCP lease longer than they should. Princeton has asked Apple for a fix and in the meantime has advised their students to follow certain guidelines to make sure it renews the lease when appropriate. Only in extreme cases will they prohibit an iPad from accessing their network- if the student follows their guidelines they will have no problem.

I tried for update but when i saw the screen its showing an arrow with a USB cable towards itunes icon, and now i'm not able to do anything, i also tried to connect ipad through my laptop but no use

That message means that you have to restore the iPad now. There was a problem with the update. So connect the iPad to your computer and restore your iPad.
You can read bout it here.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1414
If that does not work you will need recovery mode. You can read about it here.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4097
Or you can follow these Recovery Mode Instructions
Disconnect the USB cable from the iPad, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
Turn off iPad: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for iPad to turn off.
If you cannot turn off iPad using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the iPad turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to iPad. When you reconnect the USB cable, iPad should power on.
Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears you can release the Home button.
If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the recovery mode alert that iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode.
Use iTunes to restore iPad.

Can I use iPad (in contract) in other countries while I am travelling with there local SIM? Or, only WiFi will be available when I travel?

Can I use iPad (in contract) in other countries while I am travelling with there local SIM?
Or, only WiFi will be available when I travel? Or, nothing will work?

Either will work. 4G only works in Canada and the USofA. In foreigh countries the New iPad will fall back to 3G if you have a local sim and iPad data plan from a local provider.

Is it safe to use the Belkin power strip with USB ports to charge my iPad? Or is the iPad USB adapter the safest route to take when traveling with device?

Is it safe to use the Belkin power strip with USB ports to charge my iPad?
Or is it better to travel with the Wall Charger provided with iPad?
Concerned about safety of the device. Thanks for your thoughts.

The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

Photos uploaded through icloud control panel are only synced with iphone but not with ipad

Photos which are uploaded through icloud control panel are only synced with iPhone but not with iPad. Photos taken with iPhone or iPad are synced with all devices. So, why I do not get the uploaded photos from my pc to iPad? I alredy disabled photo stream on all devices - same failure

If only one device is not getting updated data, you need to troubleshoot that device and not photostream itself.
Verify that ipad is connected to wifi, charged over 20 percent, camera app is closed and take a photo of the screen (or anything else, but then close that camera app).
Open photostream folder on that ipad and see if picture shows up. If you network is good, should not take long.
Don't forget that while your phone can use wifi and cellular (even it suppose to use wifi for photostream, cellular networks got much better since original photostream was implemented) - you ipad is probably wifi only.
If picture shows up - you ipad and photostream have no problems and you can go to other devices one by one.
