  • I have an iPhone with an unlimited data plan. Is there a way to go online with a wifi only iPad using my phone for access?

    I have an iPhone with an unlimited data plan. Is there a way to go online with a wifi only iPad using my phone for access?

    If your iPhone cell carrier allows you to use Tethering, you can turn your iPhone into a wifi hotspot, then your iPad Air can connect to that for internet access.  Not all cell carriers allow tethering without you signing up for additional fees/services.  For example, AT&T in the US still has grandfathered "unlimited" data plans, but they do not allow tethering for those plans.  With AT&T you need to switch to a Mobile Share plan (or a tiered plan if still available) to use tethering (legally).

  • Will my phone carrier be charged for streaming video on a wifi only ipad?

    If you are using your phone as a hotspot for you to connect your iPad to for streaming then YOU will be charged for data... not your carrier.

  • Apple website says WiFi only iPad will geotag, but they also say only the 4G version has a GPS. How can it geotag without GPS?

    How can I add a new iPad?
    My 90 year old Mother is getting an iPad, but she is not able to sync it. I would like to handle the syncing chores for her, on my computer. Tried this with my brother's iPad, and iTunes rejected it, saying only one device could be synced with iTunes. I can do it with my iPhone, why not with a second iPad?

    are you asking how to add an ipad ???? or are you asking how wifi only ipads geotag??
    how does a wifi only device geotag by rigor
    wifi only devices scan your surroundings for the Mac addresses and ssids of your surrounding wifi networks, and most likely the power levels of those networks. they send this information to several different places, either google, apple or skyhook. i think its called skyhook, from what i recall from this question before. well anyway. once you send the list of wifi networks to them, you will get back what is most likely your gps coordinates. its not as exact as gps, though.
    this technology is also used by other devices that have actual gps chips in them, like the iphone, as a way to speed up gps locates. gps you need to understand can take a few minutes to 14 minutes to actually receive the radio signals from the satellites, so surrounding wifi networks and cell phone towers and sometimes constallation maps are used to speed up the process of obtaining your location
    this is what google does with all those vans you see driving around. they scan the networks and their gps corridinates for your ipad wifi. apple collects them from our iphones, because it is cheaper. this was widely reported as a bug, and the media was saying that apple was tracking your wearabouts, but it was just a bug.
    this is also how a mac computer (mini, mac book air, mac book pro) can be located on icloud. it does not have a gps receiver either

  • Can I connect my wifi only iPad 3 to my iPhone 4's personal hotspot?

    I have an iPhone 4 and have upgraded to iOS 6, so can I tether between my phone and my wifi only iPad 3? If yes, how? I can't find an option to set up a personal hotspot on my iPad.

  • HT201365 What do I do if my wifi only iPad mini is offline? Is there any way that I can locate it while being offline or turn it online remotely or possibly use the built in GPS?.

    What do I do if my wifi only iPad mini is offline? Is there any way that I can locate it while being offline or turn it online remotely or possibly use the built in GPS?.

    Answer would be no unless application provided such feature. Numbers does not as far as I know.
    Note that even if you have complete list of formulae used in a table, identifying formulae referencing any given cell is not simple.
    E.g., cell T20 is referenced not only in
    =T20+1
    but also in
    =SUM(T)
    =SUM(20:20)
    =SUM(S19:U22)
    =OFFSET(S1,19,1,1,1)
    =INDIRECT("T"&(10*2))
    In order to identify such formula, we have to actually evaluate it to see if it references the given cell. Especially such formula as OFFSET() and INDIRECT() may not be found by static parser because their parameters can be dynamic.
    Sorry to be the bearer of bad tidings.

  • Connecting WiFi Only iPad Through A Hotspot On Your 4G Phone?

    Has anyone tried using a hotspot app on their 4G phone to connect their WiFi only iPad to the internet? If so, what were your experiences? What app did you use on your phone?
    Thanks!

    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

  • GPS on wifi only ipad

    what are my options when using a wifi only ipad mini to download maps requiring gps??

    A mini-education:
    GPS signals are separate from and completely unrelated to both the Internet and the cellular telephone network.  GPS signals come directly from the GPS satellites.  They provide signals that allow GPS receivers to calculate latitude and longitude information.  Map software then takes that latitude/longitude info and converts it to land mass, roads, bridges, highways, buildings, etc.  Navigation software is "map software on steroids."  It goes one step further in that it provides real-time directions to enable you to reach a desired destination.
    Most navigation software stores the maps right in the iPad/iPod/iPhone but a disadvantage is that the maps must be periodically updated (perhaps once/year).  The Internet is not required to use the system but it is required to update the maps.
    Some navigation software gets the maps from the Internet and requires an Internet connection to function but an advantage is that the maps are always up-to-date.
    The WiFi+3G/4G iPad and the iPhone both have a GPS receiver.  The WiFi-only iPad and the iPod do not and these devices require an accessory.
    WARNING:  Some users have reported problems with IOS8.3 and the external GPS devices.

  • Face Time with Wifi only iPad to iPhone

    Is it possible to Face Time on a Wifi only iPad from an iPhone ? Or on a Mac Book Pro from iPhone

    To answer my own question, the answer is yes.  Add the phone number you want to Face Time with, on the iPad. It works just fine.

  • How can i download all my music from the cloud so it is always on my wifi only ipad

    I have a wifi only ipad with music stored on the cloud.  I want all the music to be on my ipad so when I don't have wifi, I still have access to the music. How do I do that?

    Download the music. Go to the purchased tab in iTunes and download the songs. Are you using iTunes Match?

  • Can I tether my iphone to a wifi only iPad Air?

    I can tehter my iPhone to my original iPad which was both wifi and 3G. I am thinking of buying an iPad Air. Could I tether my iPhone to a wifi only iPad Air? Or do I need to buy one with 3/4G capability?

    If by tether you mean use your iPad's Wifi only internet connection on your Phone then no.
    If by tether you mean use your Phone's cellular internet connection on your Wifi only iPad then yes.
    The iPad does not need to be Cellular. If it is a cellular model it can share out its own internet connection, and would be redundant to connect to the phone to get an internet connection if it can already do so on its own through its own cellular connection.
    If you want to allow your Wifi only iPad to use your Phone's cellular internet connection  then yes it can be done on a Wifi only iPad.
    Basically a cellular iDevice can share its cellular internet connection out to any Wifi device. A Wifi only device cannot share its internet connection.

  • Can wiFi only iPad be tethered to to iPhone for 3G data transmission

    Can WiFi only iPad be tethered to to iPhone for 3G data transmission. I already have an iPhone with data plan and don't want or need a second data plan. Can I connect the WiFi only iPad to iPhone with USB (iPhone) cable for 3G transmission. Any help here would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
    Dave

    pharmercist,
    Since you're in canada you might be on Rogers or another carrier that does support tethering. Check with your carrier of course before turning it on - data can be costly.
    The iPhone is designed to tether via Bluetooth PAN or USB dock connector. See http://www.apple.com/iphone/iphone-3gs/tethering.html
    The iPad explicitly does not support tethering on Bluetooth. See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3647 I've never heard of a 30 pin to 30 pin connector or any mention of the internet coming in from a 30 pin connector on any device so I doubt USB tethering could work on the iPad or any device in the family.
    Your only bet would be to make or find an app that would proxy the data from 3G/EDGE and serve it up WiFi style. It wouldn't be built into the phone as a background service like proper tethering is and learning to code and join the developer program so you can install your own apps is a lot of work and expense. I don't know if the bluetooth issue is a software decision or built in limitation to the hardware - either way - it looks like iPad WiFi isn't going to tether easily.

  • CAN MY WIFI ONLY IPAD WORK WITH SGUARE

    I got the newest version of ipad for my wife and she wants to add the Sguare Reader for getting paid on items she sells on occasion - will it work on a wifi only ipad. I am confused by some of the answers I have got. Thanks in advance - Denny

    Try a reset:
    1. Hold the Sleep and Home button down (together) for about 10 seconds
    2. Until you see the Apple logo (very important)

  • What benefits are there to iOS 6 update on a "wifi only" iPad 3?

    I am so glad I did a little research first before following through with an the iOS 6 update on my 5 day old 64 GB iPad 3 +wifi. So far, I don't have any confidence there is any improvement on a "wifi only unit", even Siri falls short of expectations in comparison to the basic dictation software already included in iOS 5.1.1- and I am afraid to loose the excellent dictation software. Additionally, it appears the iOS6 update could cause my wifi to become inoperable. Not a risk I am willing to take after dishing out 850.00 of hard earned money to have my iPad deemed useless and becoming frustrated.
    Until, there is an actual benefit or improvement to the current iOS for a "wifi only" unit I see no reason to change to iOS 6, unless of course there are some improvements in updating on a wifi only unit that I am not aware of? I really wanted to update but too worried after reading the trouble people are having. Can someone advise what benefits there are in updating to iOS 6 on a "wifi only" new ipad3? I am not sold on Maps (turn by turn doesn't work for wifi), or on Siri to make the change.
    Can someone tell me what benefits there are to updating the new iPad3 which is wifi only?

    Nobody here will convince since you have already made up your own mind. That's fine. It's your choice. If you aren't comfortable updating the iOS - don't do it.
    I have a WiFi only new iPad and I have never had any issues at all - with anything concerning WiFi connections or networks - as long as the network was dependable. I am using my personal MIFI hotspot right now and it works great, here are the features that iOS will provide for you If you decide to make the update.
    iOS 6 features and capabilities vary between devices, with some features available only with certain devices and models.
