I have a new ipad. It is connected to wifi (virgin media) and shows 3 bars but server won't respond

I have a new ipad which worked well with wifi until we moved house. We now have virgin media and although the wifi shows 3 bars on my ipad I can't connect to the internet or access the app store. Any suggestion?

Despite the three bars you may not really be connected to your WiFi network.
Your router may not have given your iPad a valid IP address. Go to Settings > Wifi > your network name and touch the ">" to the right to see the network details. If the IP address starts with 169 or is blank then your router didn't provide an IP address and you won't be able to access the Internet.
Sometimes the fix can be as simple as restarting your router (remove power for 30 seconds and restart). Next, reset network settings on your iPad (Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings) and then attempt to connect. In other cases it might be necessary to update the router's firmware with the latest from the manufacturer's support web pages.
If you need more help please give more details on your network, i.e., your router make, model and version, the wifi security being used (WEP, WPA, WPA2), etc.

  • I have the new ipad when I connect to my pc I do not find the videos and photos

    I have the new ipad when I connect to my pc I do not find the videos and photos

    What OS do you have on your PC ? I assume that the video was taken with the iPad - if it was originally synced to the Photos app from a computer then you will need to use a third-party app such as Simple Transfer to copy it off, you can't copy off synced photos/videos via the camera wizard.
    If it was taken with the iPad and you have XP on your PC then large videos may not be recognised by the windows camera wizard . If the camera wizard isn't recognising the video then you could try copying it from the iPad manually :
    Note: Windows XP cannot import video files larger than 500 MB using Camera and Scanner Wizard. You can transfer these files directly from your device by selecting them in My Computer and dragging or copying the movie files to your computer's hard drive.
    If you find that not all your photos were imported from your device's Camera Roll after performing the above steps, you can either copy the photos to your computer using Windows Explorer, or you can use additional software such as Windows Live Photo Gallery or Adobe Photoshop Elements 3.0 or later to import all pictures.
    To copy the photos to your computer using Windows Explorer:
    Connect the iOS device to the computer.
    Choose Start > My Computer.
    Double-click the logo for the device to browse its camera folders.
    Navigate to [iOS device]\Internal Storage\DCIM\100APPLE.
    Manually copy the content in this folder to your computer, wherever you would like to store it.
    Disconnect your device. Open the Camera Roll and manually delete all the pictures from the iPhone Camera Roll that you just imported.

  • My new IPad 3 cannot connect to WIFI even it has a full bar of the reception. In the same location, my PC and my smart phone get a full bar connection without any issues.  How can I do to fix the issues (can I switch to IPad 2)?

    My new Ipad 3 cannot connect to WIFI even it has a full bar of reception. In the same location, my Windows 7 PC and Andorid Smart phone can connect to the same WIFI without any issues.  How can I fix it?  Without WIFI, the WIFI only IPAD is nearly useless. If it cannot be fixed, can I get a replacement for IPad 2?

    Take it to an Apple Store for evaluation. If defective, you'll get a replacement.

  • Brand new Ipad not auto connecting on wifi network

    I've read the old posts. I've adjusted the brightness and turned off auto brightness. I've changed my dhcp proxy to auto.
    Same as everyone else, my macbook, ibook and iphones all connect to the network and access internet with NO PROBLEMS.
    The Ipad will join the network, but will not access online content. Always times out.
    This just started happening on day 2.
    We all know this began back in early April.
    I'm running a brand new Buffalo Nfiniti router with updated firmware. Again, every other apple device works just fine.

    got this from the stickied FAQ.
    iPad stopped auto connecting 5 minutes after non use. Then I tried this and it worked. Guess I have to do this every freaking time I want to use the net.
    Renew IP address
    In some larger wireless networks it may be necessary to renew your IP address. Renew your IP address using the following steps:
    Tap Settings > Wi-Fi
    Locate the Wi-Fi network you are currently using and tap
    Tap Renew Lease

  • New iPad 3 cannot connect to wifi

    I've had a 3rd gen iPad for 2 years, and yesterday, after it sustained screen damage, I exchanged it for a new one. After setting the new one up, I'm incapable of connecting to any wifi connection. I've tried my home network, a friend's, my iphone's hot spot, and nothing works. I select the desired network, enter the correct password, and it seemingly attempts to connect, but the gray circle will just spin and nothing will happen. I've closely followed any and all advice the internet can offer: I've turned off/restarted my iPad and router, I've forgotten networks, reset network settings, I've gone into airplane mode, everything is updated, you name it, I've done it repeatedly, but nothing has worked. I'm baffled by this and at my wit's end. Has anyone else experienced anything this? Is there some trick that I might be missing? What is going on?

    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 drooping 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

    Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
    Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
    You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

  • IPad WiFi Connection Problems - WiFi Symbol Appears With Full Bars but I Don't Get A Checkmark?

    I was using the iPad one day and then all of a sudden it stopped connecting to the internet. The network at this hotel is very good and I've asked them about their router so it is not the router's problem.
    I go to the Settings and tap on Wi-Fi then I tap on the hotel network. After a few seconds, it says the network name beside the Wi-Fi tab and it gives me the WiFi symbol showing 3 bars. But then I never get the checkmark or tick saying everything is connected. I try going online and it says the iPad is not connected to the internet. I've tried an iPhone and it connected and got a checkmark in a few seconds. I've talked to the front desk and he took out his phone and showed me that he could connect, he even opened a page without any problems at all.
    I've been trying to find a solution for this for a long time. I've been searching Google over and over again. I turned Airplane Mode on for 1 minute, I've tried Resetting my Network settings, I've tried forgetting the network and reconnecting again, I've tried removing all restrictions from the iPad, I've rebooted the iPad A LOT, etc.
    So this is my problem for people who don't want to read the whole message:
    1. I can't connect to the internet with the iPad
    2. It shows the WiFi symbol saying its connected but I never get the checkmark or tick.
    3. It's not the router problem.
    4. I've tried other networks and it doesn't work. It just keeps on showing that loading circle right beside the network name.
    5. Do any of you know what this problem is? Or do you have a solution?
    Thank you for reading this and have a great day

    Since you are in a hotel, some of these are not applicable.

  • My new iPad does not connect to wifi

    I bought an iPad yesterday and now I can't connect to my home wifi. My Macbook connects without any problem. My password isn't accepted from the iPad.

    Does your Macbook "remember" the password and enter it automatically? If so then your own memory may not be remembering the password exactly. I would try, on the Macbook, changing the wifi password and then seeing if the new one will enter from the iPad ok. Good luck.

  • I can't find my device on iTunes and I have done the hide bar and show bar, but it still isn't working.

    I need help syncing my iPod Touch to my iTunes. It's a replacement iPod and not all of my information was transferred. I am also using a different computer than the one I used for my last iPod. So I'm trying to put the songs on my iTunes onto my iPod, but the iPod is not opening in iTunes its opening as its own file. So, iTunes isn't showing that I have a device. Please help me.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • I have a new Epson wireless printer connected and the iPad recognizes it but it won't print. What is AirPrint and how do I connect it?

    I have a new Epson wireless printer connected and the iPad recognizes it but it still won't print.  What is AirPrint & how do I connect to it?

    Patti-
    Is your Epson printer on Apple's list of AirPrint capable printers?  See <http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4356>.
    If it is an AirPrint printer, then your WiFi router may not correctly handle Bonjour data required by AirPrint.  Contact the router's manufacturer to see if there is a change to its setup or a firmware update, that will make it work.
    One other possibility is that there could be a print job stuck in the iPad's print queue.  Double click the iPad's Home button and a row of recent Apps will appear along the bottom of the screen.  Scroll across and see if the Print Center is there.

  • A way to have the new ipad automatically connect to Wi-Fi or AT&T?

    Is there a way to have the new ipad automatically connect to Wi-Fi or AT&T depending on what is available?  For instance, I have the new ipad connected to the wi-fi in my office.  While driving to work I connect using the AT&T network.  When I walk into my office it does not automatically switch over to wi-fi.  I have to physically go into settings and turn cellular off so that it doesn't use my AT&T data while I'm in a location that can use wi-fi.  I am curious because my phone (not iphone) is connected to my wi-fi also and it automatically connects when I walk into my office so all my calls are free and then when the wi-fi signal is not in range is automatically goes back to the cellular network so I don't ever lose coverage.  Can I set up the ipad to do that?

    That is how your ipad is designed to work.
    Maybe try resetting network settings. If all else fails you can do a back up and restore as new to be certain there is no issue with your software.
