i am trying to connect to my friend's wifi, i have a very strong signal indicated on my ipad, but cannot connect to the internet.  Yesterday i connected without any problem, can anybody tell me why i cannot connect today?

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

    can anyone tell me why maps cannot determine my location over wifi?

    If you only have the wifi only version iPad then the location is derived from the router that you are connected to - if it's not in the database that Apple use then your location can't be determined. Only the 3G iPad has a built-in GPS chip. If you have another wifi-only iOS device that does get a location then you could try this https://discussions.apple.com/message/15446656#15446656

    You don't need to have Lightroom 3 and 4 installed on your computer to install Lightroom 5.  Just install Lightroom 5 and input your serial number for 3 in the previous version box and your serial number for 5 in the upgrade box.

  • I bought my iPhone 5 almost an year ago and since the last 2 weeks my battery lasts about 2 hours or less, while before it lastre a whole day. Can anybody tell me why is this happening or how can i solve my problem, please? Thank you.

    I bought my iPhone 5 almost an year ago and since the last 2 weeks my battery lasts about 2 hours or less, while before it lastre a whole day. Can anybody tell me why is this happening or how can i solve my problem, please? Thank you.

    You can follow these steps to save battery.
    1. Turn on Auto-Brightness - The iPhone has an ambient light sensor that adjusts the brightness of the screen based on the light around it (darker in dark places, brighter when there's more ambient light) to both save battery and make it easier to see. Turn Auto-Brightness on and you’ll save battery because your screen will need to use less power in dark places.
    Find it in the Settings app -> Brightness & Wallpaper -> Auto-Brightness On
    2. Reduce Screen Brightness -the brighter the default setting for the screen, the more battery it requires. Keep the screen dimmer to conserve more of your battery.
    Find it in Settings -> Brightness & Wallpaper
    3. Stop Motion (iOS 7) -It's really cool, but it also drains battery. You may want to leave it on to enjoy the effect, but if not, turn it off this way: 
    Settings -> General -> Accessibility -> Reduce Motion -> move slider to green/on
    4. Turn Bluetooth Off-  Turn off Bluetooth except when you’re using it to squeeze more juice from your battery.
    Find it in Settings -> Bluetooth -> Move Slider to Off
    5. Turn Off Location Services -
    This allows your phone to know where you are and give you exact driving directions, give that information to apps that help you find restaurants, and more. But, like any service that sends data over a network, it needs battery power to work. If you’re not using Location Services, and don’t plan to right away, turn them off and save some power.
    Find it in Settings -> Privacy -> Location Services -> Slide to Off
    6. Don't Automatically Update Apps (iOS 7)-
    If you've got iOS 7, you can forget needing to update your apps by hand. There's now a feature that automatically updates them for you when new versions are released. Convenient, but also a drain on your battery. To only update apps when you want to, and thus manage your battery better:
    Settings -> iTunes & App Store -> Updates -> move slider to off/white
    7. Auto-Lock Sooner -
    You can set your iPhone to automatically go to sleep – a feature known as Auto-Lock - after a certain amount of time. The sooner it sleeps, the less power is used to run the screen or other services. Try setting Auto-Lock to 1 or 2 minutes.
    Find it in Settings -> General -> Auto-Lock -> Tap your Preference
    Few more things that would consume battery even when not is use are the applications that run in background.
    Follow the below steps to quit all running applications.
    1) Double tap on the home button on the iPhone ( this will display all apps that are running in the back ground).
    2) Just click on the tiny red X to quit application ( if iPhone is running on iOS 6 and below) else just swipe yhour finger over the running app upwards to quit ( if running on iOS7).

    The only companies that can make a Scrabble game are the companies that own the rights to the game; Hasbro owns the rights in the US & Canada, Mattel owns the rights outside of the US & Canada.
    You need to be speaking to those two companies.

  • HT1451 I used to be able to sync all songs that I downloaded from CDs to my iPad. Now I can only get the songs that were purchased from iTunes.  Can someone tell me why?

    I used to be able to sync songs that I imported from CDs into my library onto my iPad and iPad touch. Now I can only sync the purchased from iTunes songs. What has changed?  Do I have to subscribe to iCloud to do this now?

    Hi Cricketdaw,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    iTunes should sync your entire library, and not just songs purchased from the iTunes Store, as mentioned in this article:
    Managing content manually on iPhone, iPad, and iPod
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1535
    By default, iTunes automatically syncs your entire iTunes library whenever you connect your device to your computer. On each subsequent sync, iTunes will automatically add any new music or videos to the device and remove any items that are no longer in your iTunes Library.

  • How can I remove the first exchange server 2010 without any problems in DC

    Hi,
    our actually exchange is running on windows server 2008R2 with exchange 2010. I already install & configured a second Exchange 2010 server in the same domain. I also moved every mailbox to the new server. Now I have to deactivate the first server and
    I don't know, if I have to do something or can I deactivate the "old" server without any issues.
    If I can deactivate it, how can I do this? Is it enough to uninstall exchange 2010 on the server and after that I uninstall the windows server? Did I have to change something before?
    Thanks,
    Mesut Uygun
    btw. sorry for my bad english

    Hi MesutU,
    When you remove first Exchange Server 2010 in your organization, please confirm finish following steps:
    1. Move all mailboxes (including discovery and arbitration) to another server
    2. Move all Public Folder replicas
    3. Move OAB generation server
    4. Update SMTP flow from internet
    5. Update OWA/IMAP/POP/OA access from internet.
    6. Update any routing group connectors if 2003 is present
    7. Turn the old server offline for some days to check whether the new server works well.

  • Can anybody tell me why "Direct Input Method of BDC" said to be Obselete?

    Why it is said that "Direct Input Method of BDC" is obselete?

    hi,
    Direct Input:
    A recent technique to input data safely. An alternative to batch input.
    With direct input, the SAP function modules execute the consistency checks. However with batch input, these consistency checks are executed with help of the screens. This means that direct input has considerable performance advantages. But there are a few programs for direct input, you can use them if it accomplishes your goal. Direct Input programs work like that they update database tables directly. As you know that it is forbidden to update SAP database tables directly, since consistency and security should be considered. Exceptions are these direct input programs. So you are not able to write custom ABAP direct input programs. But of course you can write ABAP programs to update custom database tables (Z tables), if you are sure all about consistency.
    SAP has created direct input programs because SAP wanted to enhance the batch input procedure, since batch input is slower. SAP offers the direct input technique, especially for transferring large amount of data. In contrast to batch input, this technique does not create sessions, but stores, updates, inserts data directly. To enter the data into the corresponding database tables directly, the system calls a number of function modules that execute any necessary checks. In case of errors, the direct input technique provides a restart mechanism. However, to able to activate the restart mechanism, direct input programs must be executed in the background only. To maintain and start these programs, use program RBMVSHOW or transaction BMV0.
    Examples for direct input programs are:
    RFBIBL00 - FI
    RMDATIND - MM
    RVAFSS00 - SD
    RAALTD11 - AM
    RKEVEXTO - CO-PA
    I hope it helps.
    In contrast to batch input, this technique does not create sessions, but stores the data directly. It does not simulate the online transaction. To enter the data into the corresponding database tables directly, the system calls a number of function modules that execute any necessary checks. In case of errors, the direct input technique provides a restart mechanism. However, to be able to activate the restart mechanism, direct input programs must be executed in the background only. Direct input checks the data thoroughly and then updates the database directly.

  • Can anybody tell me why Safari keeps shutting down after 1 or 2 mins use?  It will start up again, but the same thing happens.

    This problem has only been noticeable for the last 2 weeks, so do you know of anything which may have caused this problem and if so, how can I put it right?

    There is no "Restore Safari" on the iPad.
    You can try using Settings > Safari > Clear Cookies and Data and Clear History
    That may help. You can also reset your iPad:
    Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds). Ignore the "Slide to power off".
    These steps might help with Safari crashes.
