Apple tv works for iphone4s not ipad2 over wifi

The Apple tv has all the latest updates as do the iphone 4s and ipad2. The ipad 2 intermittantly sees the apple tv and gives me the option to mirror the ipad etc. The iphone4s ALWAYS sees the apple tv and allows me to mirror it.
Why is the ipads connection to the aple tv not consistent?
thanks

Hello MHPIGVALVE,
I was researching what we might be able to do to help troubleshoot the different wifi reliability you are seeing with the iPad 2. I found an article called iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections found herehttp://support.apple.com/kb/ts1398 that may help get your wifi more consistently working.
Resolution
Many Wi-Fi issues can be resolved by doing the following:
Basic troubleshooting
Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and turn Wi-Fi off and then on again.
Verify that you are in range of your Wi-Fi router or base station.
Confirm that your Wi-Fi router and Cable/DSL modem are connected to power and turned on.
Check whether other devices (portable computers, for example) are able to connect to the Wi-Fi network and access the Internet.
Update your Wi-Fi router to the latest firmware.For AirPort Base Stations, refer to this article for information about firmware updates. For third-party Wi-Fi routers, check the manufacturer's website for details on updating your firmware.
Restart your iOS deviceHold the On/Off button until "slide to power off" appears. Slide to power off your device. When it is off, press the On/Off button to turn it back on.
Cheers,
Sterling

Apple ID Works for Purchase not with FaceTime/iMessage

After resetting my Apple ID password, I can no longer use FaceTime or iMessage. Both apps always prompt for the password.
Here is my scenerio:
Launch FaceTime, prompts for password, key password - failed
Go to App Store, download any app, prompts for password, key password - success (app is installed)
Launch iMessage, prompts for password, key password - failed
Reset password again, repeat above steps with the same results

HT204053 I recently changed ny Apple ID but it did not transfer over to my iCloud account. How do I change my iCloud ID? The login popup for iCloud will not go away so I cannot get into my iPad since it pops up as soon as I turn the device on.

I recently changed my Apple ID but it did not transfer over to my iCloud account. How do I change my iCloud ID? The password for the new Apple ID does not work since the iCloud default user name is imbedded in the login box. The login popup for iCloud will not go away so I cannot get into my iPad since it pops up as soon as I turn the device on and re-occurs every few seconds.

You have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use. If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPad on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iPad when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

Hi, I have a problem with getting my apple Id working for me. It's been 2 months since it happened and Apple failed to act. I can tell my story proerly, but am not sure, you guys can help, so I just copy my message to them today, I am trying to get it across all the places around to pay their attention. This is a desperate move, so if you are not the right people to help me to get my message accross, may be you can advise where can I go.
Thank you, and sorry for the language.

I am sorry to say that, but your security makes my life miserable – it’s been 2 months since my Apple ID account got stuck, and since then I cannot update 37 applications (to date), i.e. most of my applications. Half of them I bought. I also paid for iCloud, and it is not working. I paid money and I am stuck with old applications and no iCloud. Your security *****. Your service ***** too. It took your service 1 month to finally understand why this happened to me, and it took me tens of emails to you and 3 hours of telephone conversation to find out the reason for my problem. And the problem is still not fixed. NOT FIXED. You just leave your customer – the one who paid you money and spent so much time with you trying to help you help me – and nothing. You tell me: “Vitas, Stick your stinky iphone in your *** and enjoy life, we do not care!” *************.
It is ******* outrageous, and you should know that, guys. Get into the ******* database and correct the bug. Get someone in the partners-telephone carriers company (it is Orange as carreer and Cellcom as seller of the phone) authorized to Identify me in personal encounter in one of the branches in Israel (where I live) and make sure it is really me, and get the ******* system accept my password and let me use my phone.
Otherwise **** off. None of my friends will get my advise to buy an iphone or any of apple products. And I think you should be very attentive to cases like this, guys. Do your work for the money we pay, or disappear. There are many others eager to take your place, and if the problem is not fixed I will eventually go to the others. My patience is lost, and as soon as I can afford another phone I will change it. AND I WILL TRY TO GIVE BAAAAAD PUBLICITY TO APPLE – I am threatening here, so ACT NOW.

Well, it seems waiting is not my strong suit..! I renamed a javascript file called recovery to sessionstore. This file was in the folder sessionstore-backups I had copied from mozilla 3 days ago, when my tabs were still in place. I replaced the sessionstore in mozilla's default folder with the renamed file and then started mozilla. And the tabs reappeared as they were 3 days ago!
So there goes the tab problem. But again when I started mozilla the window saying "a script has stopped responding" appeared, this time the script being: chrome//browser/contenttabbrowser.xml2542
If someone knows how to fix this and make firefox launch normally, please reply! Thank you

HT204291 i cant mirror my i pad 1 to apple tv, works for air playing music though

i cant mirror my i pad 1 to apple tv, works for air playing music though, i can play videos, and mirror from i phone 4 s

Welcome to the Apple community.
Unfortunately the iPad 1 does not support mirroring. Mirroring is only supported on the iPad 2 or better or on the iPhone 4S.

Will my Apple ID work for any apple device

Absolutely. Assuming that you are talking about your own devices. You can sign in on another person's devices, but it's not advisable to do so.

What Apple app works for adobe flash player?

On christmas i bought my iPad 3G+wi fi, my first dissapoint was to play in internet adobe flash video in two sites www.tuparada.com and www.integridadysabiduria.org, appstore recommends some apps equivalent to adobe flash, i tried Skyfire ($4.95) but it doesn't work, and i lost my money because Skyfire said they can not refund because Apple doesn' has policy refund, anyway my core cuestión is : how can i play internet vídeos which request adobe flash player.?

I think Apple should probably have to take most seriously this problem, because this kind of video is high popular , besides retailers do not quote the warning that we will not be allowed to play this type of video

There is no guaranteed solution for the iPad as flash is not and probably never will be supported.
Apart from Skyfire there a browser apps such as iSwifter, Puffin and Photon which 'work' on some sites, but judging by their reviews not all sites.

Can't get Apple watch and iPhone 5S to communicate over wifi. Any suggestions?

one feature of the watch I'm very interested in is the ability for it to communicate over wifi to my phone. Put the phone down or be charging it in another room and still use the watch. So far it works fine Bluetooth but I haven't had any success wifi. Phone is definitely connected wifi. i don't see any options on the watch or watch app on the phone that would address this . Anyone have any ideas?

According to this:
https://support.apple.com/kb/PH20767
If your Apple Watch and iPhone are on the same network but aren’t connected by Bluetooth, you can also do the following on Apple Watch without iPhone:
Send and receive messages using iMessage
Send and receive Digital Touch messages
Use Siri
It implies you should get iMessage but not email.

App Store not loading over wifi on iOS 6

Since I've updated to iOS 6, I haven't been able to load pretty much anything in the App Store while connected to wifi. It all works perfectly fine over 3G... But I have 130 updates waiting and I'm not using my 3G data for that. I've also been having trouble loading notifications, photos and messages in the Facebook app but the news feed works fine (this is also over wifi only). Safari seems to be working fine most of the time. Any ideas?

I have a very similar problemon my iPhome 4S: Updating apps switched over to use 3G (after I left my house for example) or starts in 3G even that wifi is available. This consumed my free 3G budget completely and costs already more than 15€ on extra charges. This never happened in iOS 5. I think I need to either avoid updating my apps or switch off mobile data completely. The best alternative would be, to disable app updates over 3G. But this is not possible.

What to do for ipad1 not lost connection wifi

what to do for ipad1 not lost connection(wifi), between on/off sessions of it?

Does you router need a firmware update perhaps?
Have you tried rebooting your router? Unplug it for about 30 seconds and then plug it back in again.
You could try rebooting your iPad as well. Reboot 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 - let go of the buttons.

Computer not waking over wifi

After updating to Mountain Lion, my iMac will not wake over wifi for admin access. I have tried to access the iMac through my MacBook, my iPad, and an iPod touch, but none of these devices with their various apps (file sharing, splashtop, file browser, good reader) can wake my iMac when it's sleeping.
Wake over wifi is supported on my Mac.
I have wake for admin access checked in system preferences.
I am uncertain how to proceed. Any ideas?

Still have the "can't wake up (or sleep)" problem after changing the Energy Saver option. I closed my laptop's lid. About 3 hours later I verified that the laptop was indeed "snoring" (front light) so I assume it was sleeping. I opened the lid and again the LCD panel remained off. Of interest, an external 20" display did turn on and did display content. I don't know much about the internals but it appeared that the video driver was still active and it's video memory had good contents. Otherwise, the laptop was completely frozen. I did try disconnecting and reconnecting the external display, hoping that it might trigger some interrupt handler--no luck.
I've now changed my MBP's video selection to "Better Power". I also tried closing and reopening the lid, leaving it closed for just long enough for the laptop to start snoring. It came out of sleep without problem.
FYI, for the three-hour test I did not add or remove any peripherals, including power; so no config change.
