Using a US iPad Mini in Sweden

I live in Sweden and am going to the US soon. While there I was hoping to buy and ipad mini. My question is if I buy one with cellular serivce can I use any swedish sim card I want with it? Also does it make a difference which US carrier I choose and do I have to pay for any US data plan to get started?

The iPads are not locked to the carriers. You should be able to get a local SIM card for using in just about any country. The iPad takes a microSIM, but it is the same card just cut to a smaller size. If a carrier you wish to use does not have microSIMs, then you can get their regular SIM and cut it to size yourself.

The iPad's cable has the iPad's 30 pin connector on one end and a USB connector on the other end, so it can be attached to almost any USB power source for charging. The iPad's AC charger is universal, it can be used world wide with the correct prong adapter. In fact, the one for the US is identical to the ones for other countries, there is just a tiny part with the prongs that Apple switches out. Perhaps a UK Apple Store can get you this tiny piece to convert your charger from US to UK style prongs.
The iPhones and the iPods have 5 watt chargers. The iPad has a 10 watt charger. But they are interchangeable. The iPad's charger is self-limiting, so you can plug an iPhone or iPad into it without fear. The iPad will charge with 5 watts, it just takes longer.

THis is means they are not charging on a 30 pin cable and the touch won't work in my Apple iPod dock - no audio out or charge. Have re powered both devices to no avail am wondering if the iOS version is the problem
Help!

If it is a lightning to 30 pin adaptor, and you have a 7th Generation Nano it has to fit the Nano.
This is lightning to 30 pin adapter: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Apple%26%23174%3B---Lightning-to-30-Pin-Adapter/6651 936.p?id=1218803450821&skuId=6651936#tab=overview
Is this what you bought?
You need to contact Sony and see if they model you have is compatible with the docking adapter. It may not be.

HT5624 Can I use WhatsApp in iPad MIni?

Can I use WhatsApp in iPad MIni?

Whatsapp only works with phone numbers so chances are, you cannot run it on the iPad

TS1398 I cannot start to use my new ipad mini as it is stuck at the very first step after restoring my old backup. It says to choose a wifi, I do and then it says 'Unable to connect' There is no options for a password and I cannot access any other screen!

I have tried going past the first set up stage, still with no wifi. I have then tried restoring the ipad mini, still no wifi available. Both my ipone and Apple Mac have wifi full bars. Please help. I only picked up my new ipad today. I am thinking it may be faulty.

It may be faulty but you should try to activate it first in order to be sure.
Why don't you activate it using iTunes on the Mac and then troubleshoot the WiFi connection. Connect the Mini to the Mac with the cable and iTunes should startup and take you through activation. If you do not autosync and iTunes des not start up on it's own, then launch it yourself.

I have a IPad and I tried to send a message to a friends IPad mini and it didn't go through. She has a different carrier than I do. Can't all Apple products work together no matter the carrier? I used her apple IPad mini designated phone number.

How can I message a friend on her IPad mini from my IPad?

If both have Apple devices AND both have data plans, why don't you message each other using iMessages instead of regular SMS?
iMessages get sent thru the TCP/IP Internet rather than the cellular network so they are essentially free (other than any data cap you may have, irrellevant if the iGadget is connecting via Wi-Fi).

HT1807 Using cellular networks iPad Mini abroad

Hello everyone,
for working reasons I am going to live to Spain and I would like to know if I am going to be able to use my Ipad Mini with the celullar companies over there. Is there any reason my iPad would not work over there? My carrier here at the states is AT&T.
Thanx!
Peter

That's not what I said, WJ. If you'll re-read my post, you'll see that I said that if you want to use an iPad with either Verizon or Sprint, you must buy the model for that carrier. I said nothing about using a Verizon/Sprint iPad with AT&T or any other carrier.
So your post was missing information that may be important to other readers and could be misleading by stating that LTE support is the only difference between the three US models, something which is not the case.

How to use texting on ipad mini?

I just got my new ipad for Xmas I was wondering how to use the texting on the ipad mini

You have to set up your iMessage account on it and then you can iMessage other people using iDevices.
In the Safari browser on your mini there are bookmarks to the users manual.

I does not use face in iPad mini so can tell me what to do?

I buy IPad from Dubai now I cannot use FaceTime than tell me what to do to use FaceTime in my iPad mini

Facetime is blocked in the UAE.
You cannot unblock it.

Does facetime only use email on ipad mini?

If so, when I put in my email, it doesn't verify. I have cellular with the ipad. It has a phone number. Do I use that. How do I enter that? All I see is my iphone number and no way to change it.

I use my Apple ID email address and that should work for you as well, do you get an error message when trying to verify the email address?
Turn off FaceTime and sign out of your Apple ID. Restart your iPad, turn FaceTime on again, sign in and then see if you can verify the email address. Your Apple ID email address should be verified with no problems at all.

Using Pages on iPad mini retina

We opened Pages & were looking at the list of documents saved when it suddenly went blank showing the message "No documents". We have now been unable to find those documents, so would appreciate any help in restoring them & stop it happening in future. Needless to say they were work-related & not backed up - I know, will do better in future.
Thanks
Janet

I assume that you mean that you see the documents in Settings>General>Manage Storage>Documents & Data>Pages. I would also conclude that if you see the documents in there, them they must still be in iCloud.
First close Pages completely and reset your iPad and see if they reappear.
In order to close apps in iOS 7, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
IF the the documents still haven't appeared on the iPad, you can go to iCloud.com on a computer, log in, click on the Pages icon and see if you can find them in there. If necessary, you can download them to your computer and then transfer them back to the iPad using iTunes file sharing.
iOS: About File Sharing
Something else that might work is to delete Pages from your iPad and then install it again. If the files are really in iCloud, you will lose them when you delete the app, but they will download from the cloud again when you reinstall Pages. I have done this a few times when I was having problems with Pages. But be aware that this will not work unless the documents really are in iCloud.

My nephew doesn't remember the yahoo I'd that he used on his iPad mini. How can I bypass this?

How can I bypass this to reset the iPad?

Your statement makes no sense at all. Your nephew's Yahoo ID - whatever that is - has no bearing on whatever you are trying to do to reset the iPad.
If the iPad is locked/disabled and you can't remember the passcode, you have to restore it in order to unlock it. There is no way to bypass anything with regard to security features on the device. If you could bypass a security feature, what good would the feature do?
Maybe this will help. But of this isn't what you are asking about, post back with more information.
