Why must I lock myself into a particular cellular carrier just to get the GPS function in the iPad Air.

I would like to have an iPad Air 128GB, but I'm being told I must lock myself into a cellular carrier in order to get the GPS feature. I don't mind picking a carrier, but I don't want to be locked in. I use Verizon now, but suppose I want to change to AT&T or TMobile in the future.

GPS works without a cellular plan.
Map programs such as Apple maps or google require a data connection to download map data.
Other programs such as copilot or tomtom download map data all at once after you purchase them and will not require further connection to the data connection.
The cellular version of the iPad has gps because it is part of the cellular radio chip.

TS4036 my ipad is locked with a box that says icloud backup. This ipad hasn't been backed up in 2 weeks. Backups happen when this ipad is plugged in, locked, and connected to WiFi. I can't get the ipad screen to unlock even if plugged in.

See above description

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You might try a forced shutdown to begin with, hold down the top and home buttons together until the device shuts down, then restart it.

Hi Myreiac,
Here's what the Apple Support site says you can do if you do not have access to a computer when your device has been disabled:
If you are using Find My iPhone, you can use Remote Wipe to restore your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode.
You can access Find My iPhone via the Find My iPhone app on your iPad.
Good luck!
Cheers,

The Three Best Alternatives for Security Questions and Rescue Mail
     1. Send Apple an email request at: Apple - Support - iTunes Store - Contact Us.
     2. Call Apple Support in your country: Customer Service: Contact Apple support.
     3. Rescue email address and how to reset Apple ID security questions.
A substitute for using the security questions is to use 2-step verification:

How do I get The ipad locked to run only one application for customers (perhaps a webapp)

how do I get The ipad locked to run only one application for customers (just one web app, or video- instructions, or just safari). What I really want is that my customers to only use one app that has all my services. It is an interactive app so I would not like them to go surfing elsewhere while they are in my store.

If you have iOS 5 installed on it, you don't need a PC. simply turn it on and set it up.
if you don't have iOS 5 then you'll need a computer.

Why can't I use WebCT chat with my computer? I get the 'spiral of death' every time I try to type in my chat. I have a feeling it has to do with compatibility issues between Java and Tiger.

I would like to move 2 users to creative cloud, but maintain all the other users (myself included) on CS5. Can I still get the reduced monthly rate? What serial number should I use?

Hi Thomasjewell,
Yes you can avail the discounted prices even you are upgrading the product just for two users. You can use the serial number for your Creative Suite 5 product.
You can follow the link: https://creative.adobe.com/plans in order to purchase Creative Cloud for Teams product.
Let me know if it works or not.

I just started getting the error message below - when I drag a file to TRASH, I get the message "Finder wants to make changes. Type in your password to allow this. Why ? and how to to stop this request ?

There should be nothing native to the OS X which would ask for a password
or other information on a restart, unless accompanied by the traditional login
box with your user name.
There are adware or marginal products that could be called malware (bad)
that would impose their presence and some items that could have been
downloaded by accident or through some corrupted free software site; of
those some could ask for and gain permission to go through your Mac
and maybe even run in the background to do other nefarious misdeeds.
You could see if startup in SafeBoot allows you access past that the Completer.
Since I don't have a pile of helpful article links on how to resolve various issues
I'd be looking them up one way or another.
There are some helpful items in the site http://thesafemac.com - see Tech Guides
listed (adware, malware, & performance) plus a link to the adwaremedic page.
Also, Apple support has a helpful page on how to remove adware and other bits:
•Remove unwanted adware that displays pop-up ads and graphics on your Mac - Apple Support
Hopefully this helps somewhat.
Good luck & happy computing!

Just started getting "The Apple Id you entered couldn't be found or the password was incorrect". Any ideas why? iTunes is running, the Apple Id and password are being entered correctly.

Hi skn728,
If you can verify that your Apple ID and password are correct by logging in at AppleID.apple.com and are certain that all your apps were purchased under that ID, you may want to try manually logging out of your Apple ID on your iPhone, then logging back in. You may find the following article helpful:

A reset should help. Tap and hold the Home button and the On/Off button for approximately 10-15 seconds, until the Apple logo reappears. When the logo appears, release both buttons and await restart.

Is there a fix coming for the iPad Air's issues with rotation locking???

The iPad Air has an annoying glitch in its occasional (frequent) shift to landscape mode, and locking in that position. Is this a known/reported issue with a fix coming?
This didn't occur with the older version of the iPad.
Thx.

Why is online support unavailable for the iPad Air?

I tried to contact support today because of a probem I experienced with iTunes U after updating to IOS 7.0.4 but, on entering my serial number I get a message saying that online support is not available for this product.
The iPad air has been out for two weeks now, is it normal for support to be unavailable this late after release?
Surely there must be another option other than driving to an apple store to ask the question in person???

I also have this problem. Fortunately there was still some Apple Care available on our iPad 3, so I used that serial number to get through. Once connected I told them what appeared when I tried to use the iPad Air serial number ( same message you got). They checked to see if my iPad Air's serial number was registered and it was and showing that I have Apple care on it. I really thought this would be resolved by now....it is 2 weeks. We have paid lots of money for this service!

Why must I lock myself into a particular cellular carrier just to get the GPS function in the iPad Air.
