How do I keep my Ipad from dropping its wireless connection?

How do I keep my Ipad from dropping its wireless connection?
Most of the time, my iPad does not maintain a connection to the interenet via my wifi router. My PC laptop has continuous connection, so I know it is not the internet connection.
Is there a way to trouble shoot this? Can I purchase a dedicated IP Address for my Ipad? This is beyond aggrevating since internet activity is the main reason I purchased the pad.
Your help is greatly appreciated.

I would suggest that you give Apple Tech Support a call and go over your settings under WI-FI and General Settings as well as your router settings etc.. There are all sorts of things I could tell you to try but this forum is not the best place to go over all the numerous settings that could be the issue. Just call them and they will walk you through the proper trouble shooting steps.

  • How do i keep my ipad from going to sleep during presentations

    I'm using Evernote for notes during a presentation. How do I keep the iPad from going to sleep so I can read my notes?

    Bey you have have an MS Exchange account on the iPad (through your work) and they are limiting the options you have (disabling 1, 3, 4 & Never).
    Try this...
    Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
    Select the Exchange account then set it Off.
    Go to Settings > General > Auto-Lock and you should see all options.
    Set it to what you want.
    Then turn on the Exchange account.
    The Auto-Lock settings should stay.
    However, if you go back and view the Auto-Lock settings, it will change back toonly  2 and 5.

  • How do I keep my iPad from switching back and forth from my Apple ID to my husbands Apple ID?

    How do I keep my iPad from switching back and forth from my Apple ID to my husbands Apple ID?

    Your question confuses me because there is no way that the iPad can switch Apple ID's without user input. Where are you seeing evidence of this?
    If you are seeing app updates that require your husbands ID, that's because those apps were purchased with his ID and will always require his ID and password for updates.
    If you are seeing his ID elsewhere, explain....

    Thanks for trying those steps out!
    Rtbeal, I would recommend that you contact AppleCare so they can run further tests and diagnostics to help you solve your solution better.
    If you can also access an Apple Store Genius Bar or Apple Authorized Service Center, that would be much better.

  • TS1702 How do I keep the iPad from installing apps that are on my Mac?

    I have an iMac and an iPhone 5. My wife has an iPad and an iPhone 4S. We each use different apps. However, we notice that occassionally the iPad will install the apps I have on my iMac. How can I stop this from happening?

    You can select the exact content that you want to sync each and every time that you sync if you want to do so. You can also turn off auto sync so that iTunes does not automatically sync without you having the opportunity to select what you want.
    Connect the iPad (or the iPhone) to the Mac and launch iTunes.
    Click on the iPad name on the left side under devices.
    Click on the Apps Tab on the right.
    Only click on apps that you want to sync. Uncheck the apps that you do not want to sync.
    Click on the Sync Apps Heading.
    Click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes
    iOS: Syncing with iTunes
    You can turn off auto sync by launching iTunes and go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices>Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from automatically syncing. Click OK. Quit iTunes.
    Read this for more information.

    It is recommended that most users not keep auto syncing turned off all of the time so that you do not forget to backup your device. I do not subscribe to that belief myself. Besides I have seen way too many users that claim to sync with iTunes or that use iCloud and they don't have a clue about what a backup is, where they can find it or what to do with it - if they even have one. Too many users get caught in the "This device has not been backed up with iCloud for three weeks message" because they don't have the sense to backup on a regular basis.
    But I digress .... Sorry.

  • How do i keep my ipad from disconnecting from wifi when it goes to sleep

    I use my iPad mini for grades at school.  Everytime the iPad goes to sleep, it loses the WiFi connection and I have to log in again.  How can I keep the WiFi connected?

    Your ipad will always loose connection once it goes to sleep. There is no way to keep it connected. The only suggestion would be to see if whatever application you are using has a "save password" feature.
    hope this helps

  • How do i prevent the ipad from dropping wifi and tethering?

    I can tether my iphone 5 and ipad but when not in use the connection gets terminated and i have to do the tethering process all over again. The same thing happens with Softbank wifi hotspots, I have to re-enter username and password everytime I open the iPad.
    At home the wifi connection remains stable no matter what. Why is it only tethering and wifi hotspots?

    YOu could try 'settings, wifi' and turn 'ask to join networks' on and see if that limits it's push to automatically join the other network.

  • Why does my Macbook Pro keep dropping its wireless connection?

    Hi everyone,
    Last year I purchased a 2013 Macbook Pro 13". Everything had been working well up until yesterday afternoon. My wi-fi connection keeps dropping roughly every 5 minutes for no apparent reason, with an exclamation mark flashing over the signal strength icon. It runs on Mavericks with all software updates etc. up to date. I live in a student house with 7 other people, so the network could be overburdened, though it's been fine until now. I've reset Safari, deleted info regarding the wireless network and reinstalled it, and deleted all the keychain info, but it hasn't really helped.
    I would be grateful for any responses, thanks!

    Hello aidenhh,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with Wi-Fi on your MacBook.  I would be concerned about this too.
    I recommend following the steps in the section labeled, "Symptom: The network connection drops unexpectedly" in the following article to resolve an issue like the one you described:

  • Airport keeps dropping the wireless connection to my network 2 or 3 times a day.

    Hi,
    Since apple's recent firmware update for my macbook pro, airport keeps dropping the wireless connection to my network 2 or 3 times a day. It then searches for a network but can't find it, but if I select my network manually it connects immediately ???
    Any fixes for this ..... in layman's language please!
    Thanks,
    Steve

    It is not the router. There are a number of factors that are involved. If the router is a G/N router you may have to switch to G-Only (or disable N). You may also have a 5 GHz wireless phone or other routers in the neighborhood interfereing with the signal.
    Try this:
    1. Open network preferences. Take note of what IP address is assigned. Then, click Advanced.
    2. Click on TCP/IP and select Using DHCP with manual address and type the IP address below that.
    3. Click OK.
    4. Set your Router to Wireless-G only (or disable N) and change the channel to 11 or some higher number.
    This should keep it from dropping the wireless connection. It is a bug in the OS. Apple has not fixed it in 3 years.
    You wireless connection will be a tad slower, but you really won't notice.
    Hope that helps.

  • How do I keep my music from stopping when my ipad autolocks?

    How do I keep my music from stopping when I close my ipad or it autolocks?

    My wife has the same problem. I believe I found the solution. Activate "do not disturb" in settings - do not disturb - manual. Make sure to also go to allow calls from and set it to no one. A moon will appear in the status bar. You will see notifications of missed calls but it does not interrupt Pandora. Let me know if this works for you.

  • How do I keep my Imessages from being viewed on other devices under my apple ID?

    How do I keep my Imessages from being viewed on other devices under my apple ID?

    No, you can authorize any number of email addresses on your Apple Id and then select one of those to use as an alternate Send and Recieve for Messages. It isn't necessary to use seperate AppleIDs. I use my phone number on my iPhone and an email address on the iPad.
