Want to buy a new ipad mini.  What is best carrier for overseas travel?  Are all plans month to month?

No. Most plans from major carriers are minimum term contracts - usually two years. Month to month providers require you buy an unlocked device that may then be permanently tied to their service.

    I want to buy an ipad mini Wifi Cellular and use it in Central Asia,so there are two models: A1454 and A1455,what is the difference?

    Either will work fine in Central Asia as loge ad the carries support GSM (almost all do).
    One of the iPads will only work with the AT&T GSM) network if you are in the USA and the Other with the Virizon network (uses CDMA, not GSM/SIM) if you are in the USA

  • I have an ipad and want to buy an ipad mini. Can I transfer everything over?

    I have 3 ipads under one apple ID and soon to have a fourth.
    I want to rearrage who has what device.
    Here is how they are now:
    iPad 3 16m wifi:User 1
    iPad 2 16m wifi:User 2
    iPad 2 16m wifi:User 3
    User 4 currently has no ipad.
    User 1 is getting a new ipad mini and would like to transfer everything from his iPad3 16m wifi to his new device.
    User 1's old iPad 3 16m wifi is going to user 2 who would like to transfer her information from her iPad 2 16m wifi to her iPad 3 16m wifi.
    User 2's old iPad 2 16m wifi will be used by user 4.
    Is it possible to make this work without losing everyones photos, email, facetime etc.
    Note: Each user has thier own Apple ID for Messaging, Facetime, etc. but share ONE for apps.
    Thanks, Marty

    If you backup and sync with iTunes, it should be no problem at all.
    Each user should transfer purchases, backup and sync with iTunes one last time. I assume that you have all of your own sync settings already set up in iTunes for syncing content to each device, otherwise, each iPad would be identical in content. Just in case, I posted a couple of links that might be helpful for you at the bottom of my post. After you transfer purchases, backup and sync each device one last time, simply restore from the correct backup listed in the backup window, then sync each device after restoring from the backup.
    Everything should be in place on each device except for passwords which will have to be entered again on each device. Passwords are backed up, but will only restore to the very same device when restoring from a backup, and will not restore to a new device.
    The links that Kappy provided in his post are very informative and should be of help to you. Here are two links that describe backing up, restoring from a backup and transferring purchases.

    These may come in handy for setting up sync settings in iTunes 11, if you haven't down that yet.
    For Windows ....

    If you are unfamiliar with iTunes 11, it helps to see the sidebar on the left side, so if needed, enable it by going to View>Show Sidebar from the iTunes menu at the top of the screen.

  • I want to buy an Ipad Mini 2, BUT On my mba

    Okay, first time here: I am most interested in getting this Ipad Mini 2 but needed to make sure it does what it should do.  After all, it is using the same IOS7 as my Iphone5 and MBA where I have no problems getting closed captioning (CC) on both of my Hulu and Netflix accounts.  Unfortunately, while at the San Francisco main Apple store, I tested with my accounts on their Ipad Mini 2.  The CC was not working.  Three Apple techies helped me on at least three different Ipad Mini 2 and had no success. So, we all agreed that it probably is a glitch.  Thus, I am looking out to you all in this community.  Did you have any issues or successes?  I suspect that their Ipad Mini 2's system were set up as a store demo rather than a free-spirited type!  8^)  Thoughts anyone?

  • If my wife wants to buy an ipad II what does she need to do shopping for hours at a time on the internet while driving

    My wife wants to do internet searches and shop for hours on end while I'm driving.  What does she need if we get an Ipad 2?
    Some people here at the office say I need Wi-Fi.  Some say 3G.  Some say I need to sign up with a carrier on some type of monthly plan to get the internet.
    Help!!
    I need this while we drive from state to state and not for getting on the internet through some hotel Wi-Fi Connection.
    Thanks,

    3G coverage and overall performance between Verizon and AT&T varies depending on where you are, and depending on where you are you may have no 3G service at all with any carrier.
    The other consideration is the price-points of various data plans, they differ between size and cost.
    But all plans are month-to-month, meaning that you can turn the service off anytime you want, and for as long as you want, but when you activate 3G service you pay for 30 days of service regardless if you turn 3G off (so turn it off on the 29th day if you won't need 3G next month).  You can do all of this right from the iPad, and you don't have to set anything up at the time of purchase (other than choose your carrier).  I bought a Verizon 3G iPad 6 weeks ago and have not yet activated 3G, but will do so soon while travelling.

  • I want to buy an iPad mini Retina, 16GB?

      I'll mainly use it as an ebook, (like Kindle & Nook), and of course I'll have some common apps, like skype, facebook and etc. I don't know if 16GB is enough for me or not.

    Yes it should be enough I have a 16 g I pad mini and I am able to store
    40 songs
    15 shows.  And 32 apps
    Hope this helped

  • New ipad mini retina cannot select "never" for time out period. It makes the product useless for such things as navigation and frustrating for reading

    Must add the never option to the time out period or the product is useless for navigation and other purposes where continual use is required.

    This should be an option in the General settings on your iPad. The option is called Auto-Lock. There should be the following options: 2 minutes, 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 15 minutes, and Never.
    If you select Never, that should stop the screen from going to sleep automatically. If the Never option is not present, you more than likely have a Exchange account synced with the device that does not allow that option. If that account is disabled, that option should show.

  • I want to buy an iPad Air and iPad Mini online, my question is if they are unlocked so I can use it on my country

    I`m from Costa Rica and want to buy an iPad mini and Air, when I try to buy it online I have to choose Verizon, Mobile, etc. to add it to my cart, is this normal buying on line so I can use it unlocked in my country.

    Some iPads have the ability to connect to a cellular connection for data.  This usually requires a subscription contract of 2 years.  If this is not what you want, don't choose the iPads with data services and just use WiFi.

  • I have a new ipad mini purchased in Dec 2013.  I can not Picture Frame app to display my photos when the ipad screen is locked.  was this feature removed?  if not, how do I turn it on?

    I have a new ipad mini purhased in December 2013 for my father.  I want play the streamed photos on the ipad when the screen is locked.  Similar to what the ipad 2 using Picture Frame.  Unfortunately I can not find the picture frame app on this ioad mini.  Was this feature removed? If yes, are there alternative options?

    I can't personally as I never really liked nor used the picture frame feature in iPad.  Just search in the App Store and read customer reviews and you'll likely find something you'll like.

  • Hy, I have a problem with a new iPad Mini.

    Hy, I have a problem with a new iPad Mini.
    When I try to use the cameras, it doesn't work.
    I get to take 3-4 pictures and after that all I see is the shutter.
    It happends even if just start the camera app, or the facetime app, after 4-5s.
    I've reinstalled IOS 6.1 but nothing changed.
    It is a new ipad. What can I do?

    Ok, Orange Romania changed my iPad mini but now I have another problem.
    I bought the iPad mini on 01/feb/2013, took it to service on 06/feb/2013, and got another ipad mini on 12/feb/2013.
    But the new ipad mini keeps requesting the password for some user [email protected], and it does it from the first day of activation. This is suspect for me, so I checked it's serial with selfsolve.apple.com and it shows "Estimated Expiration Date: January 31, 2014" and since it has one year free service I am worried the iPad mini wasn't new.
    Please help.
