Original iPad on Verizon MiFi

First, this has been working without an issue for some time.
However, the last couple days, I can no longer connect to wi-fi via my Verizon Mi-fi. It sees the connection and does connect, but then constantly disconnects and reconnects to the network. This occurs every second or two.
I have no problems connecting my Macbook Pro or a PC to the Mi-fi.
Anybody have a suggestion.

Chuck-
Try removing power from the MiFi for a few seconds.  Then reset the iPad's network.  Go to Settings-General-Reset-Reset Network Settings.  You will need to reconnect the iPad to WiFi.

    I have a verizon mifi 2200 modem and wonder if an ipad with retina display will connect with it to use the internet

    It should work. Have you tried and it doesn't work?
    FYI
    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

  • IPad mini no connect w/Verizon MiFi

    I just got an iPad mini and it refuses to connect with my Verizon MiFi. It's not the iOS version that's the problem because my iPhone with iOS 6 connects just fine. My old iPad v1 connects, my iPhone with iOS 5 connects, my MBAir running Lion connects just fine. The new Mini is the only thing I can't join the network with. Anyone with a clue on this problem?

    Hi-
    Yes, I would very much like to use my new iPad mini with my MiFi card.
    I can promise you that between my husband and me we must have tried connecting 20 or 25 times so I seriously doubt the SN was being entered incorrectly the entire time (if at all) and we are using the correct number as we've checked it against all the other devices we use with it that do work.
    Speaking of which, while we have six devices that use--or at least have attempted to use--the Verizon MiFi, there is rarely more than one (my laptop) and never more than two (laptop, iPhone/Pad). Our two phones (iOS 6), my MacbookAir and the old iPad1(iOS 5) all successfully connect. My new Mini (iOS6) and my husband's desktop iMac (OS 10.7.5) are unable to connect. We tried connecting with the iMac just to see if it could.
    The only message I get is the tiny notation at the top of the "Enter Password" window is: "Failed to join (network name)" If I should tap "Join" again a separate message might come up reporting: "Unable to join the network 'name'" with a "Dismiss" button.
    All devices, including the new iPad Mini, are able to join the home network and I am able to join networks at coffee shops, bookstores, etc.
    Also you should know that one thing my husband tried in troubleshooting this issue was updating the MiFi card's firmware to its latest version from your website. That unfortunately did not solve it. However the other devices are still connecting to the MiFi after that maneuver.
    So that's the rub. Don't know what else I can report to you. We were about to try changing the password but this communique came in first so we'll hold off until we hear back.
    thank you

  • IPad WiFi and Verizon MiFi Hotspot

    I started using the Verizon MiFi 2200 Intelligent Mobile Hotspot with my 32GB iPad today. Works like a charm. I used it with my iPad, Windows 7 netbook and iTouch simultaneously. I authorized it on the Windows 7 machine. I need to try to install Verizon Manager on my MacBooks and authorize it for them so that I can use it untethered and off the MiFi's battery.

    I have a MiFi too (from the 3Gstore). Works absolutely great with all my devices (iPad, iPhone 4, Sony laptop). Speeds vary by location, obviously, but the signal strength is very solid, with no drops so far.
    The connection problem mentioned by poster Nielsen is almost certainly due to not having gone through the "activation" process on the VZ Manager. If the MiFi isn't activated you will see that your devices are connected but you still won't have access to the Internet through the connection. You MUST activate that connection (i.e., Verizon confirms that your MiFi is registered with them and you have purchased a data plan with them).

  • TS1398 I am trying to connect an IPod Touch to a Verizon MiFi at home.  I have connected a computer, Nooks, and a tablet to this WiFi with a password and the IPod says it is unable to join.  Help!

    I am trying to connect an IPod Touch to my Verizon MiFi Hotspot.  It has a password.  I have set up a computer, a tablet, and 2 nooks to this MiFi but can't get the IPod to connect to any network that has a password. Please help!

    There are other things to try.
    Turn WiFi off on the iPad, restart it and then turn WiFi on again.
    Reset the network settings on the iPad. Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings, that makes you have to start all over again.

  • How do I connect my hp 1505n printer to my Verizon mifi

    I have windows vista  and I need help on how to connect my Verizon mifi to my hp 1505n printer.

    Hi  Dixieo,
    Welcome to the HP Support forums.  I see that you would like to learn how to setup your Deskjet 2540 printer so you can print from your iPad.
    The first thing that needs to be done is to setup your printer onto your wireless network.  I have included the Installing the Printer Software for a Wireless Network Connection document for you.  Please click on the operating system of your computer and follow the steps provided.
    Now that the printer is on the wireless network, you should be able to use Apple’s AirPrint feature to print. I have included HP’s document How to Use Apple's AirPrint Over a Wireless Network, as well as Apple’s AirPrint Basics document.  Both documents will assist you in learning how to print using Apple’s AirPrint.
    I have also included HP’s All-in-One Printer Support App FAQ document.  If you download and install this app by HP it will allow you to scan from the printer directly to your iPad.

    Happytohelp01

  • Verizon Mifi or Sprint Overdrive

    Who has any feed back on these two systems, likes dislikes would be much appreciated. I wanted to wait for the 3G ipad but don't want to be limited as to what can be downloaded, one of these two systems sounds a little better not to mention being able to share the signal is a plus when you are on the move,

    Streaming video will consume the 5GB allocation in fairly short order, but basic web surfing and email, along with managing the odd attachment, will not typically be a challenge for staying under the limit. Going over the 5GB is an expensive proposition at .05 per MB. That equates to $250 for the next 5 GB. Having used both, my thoughts are as follows.
    Sprint - 4G unlimited/3G 5GB is a great plan if you are in a 4G coverage area. The device is larger than the MiFi from Verizon, and has user configurable security.
    Verizon MiFi - Incredible coverage model, and the ability to down select to a slower speed when 3G is unavailable. Basically an always connected state if you want it to be. Very small device with approx 4 hour run time before recharge via USB.
    The WiFi + 3G version of the iPad will not have a down select for speed. Unlike the iPhone, there is not Edge functionality built in, but $30 per month for unlimited data is a pretty sweet deal if you can live with the AT&T coverage area.

  • How can I get an HD movie from iTunes store to play on original iPad

    I recently purchased an HD movie--Brave--from the iTunes store.  I'm trying to play on my original iPad (iPad 1), but iTunes refuses to synch it because it says it is an unsupported format.  The movie is in 1080p format.  I typically get both HD and SD formats when I purchase movies, but iTunes no longer downloads the SD version automatically when I purchase the HD version.  I attempted to get an SD version from the store, but it said I already purchased the movie and instructed me to check the downloads.  There is no SD download pending and a check for new downloads was fruitless.
    Can someone confirm that the original iPad is unable to play HD video?  I imagine it is the 1080p that's the problem.  Can anyone confirm that 720p would work?  Is there no longer a means to get both HD and SD when purchasing a movie from the iTunes store?  If there is, how?
    Thanks for your help.
    Jamie

    You can get the SD or 720p version by:
    Open iTunes 11
    Click iTunes in menu bar > select Preferences...
    Click on the Store tab
    Change When downloading High Definition videos, prefer dropdown to 720p > click OK
    Click on the iTunes Store button
    Click Purchased link
    Click Movies tab
    You should now see a download icon for the movies you already have 1080p version of.
    Click on this download icon to download the 720p version.
    This will put a 720p version in the same folder on your hard drive as the 1080p version.  If you have iTunes setup to play 1080p when available, it will play the 1080p version.  When you connect your iPad 1, it will sync the 720p version.
    Don't forget to change your preference back to 1080p so you can continue to get the higher quality version.

  • How to upgrade to iOS 8.1 on original iPAD

    I have an original iPad.  The current OS is 5.1.1.  When I try to upgrade using the latest version of iTunes on my PC using the "Check for Update" function, it says that "the version of the iPad software (5.1.1) is the current version" and doesn't offer me to upgrade.  Is it possible to ugrade to iOS 8 on the original iPad?

  • Why is 'Sherlock' TV show not showing up on my original ipad?

    We have a large shared iTunes library with LOTS of movies, tv shows and music. The library is stored on an 8TB Promise Pegasis RAID drive linked to a mac mini. We aos have three 1 iPhone 4, 2 iPhone 5, 2 original iPads, 1 iPad (3rd generation) and 2 Apple TV's, an old G4 Flat Panel, a 24" imac, a Macbook Pro and a Macbook Air all of which use Home Sharing. The problem I'm having is in NOT being able to see certain purchased TV shows (in this case, the show 'Sherlock' - both seasons and all but one episode of 'Game of Thrones') on the original iPads via Home Sharing. The shows appear on every other device but the original iPads. Also, the entire season of Game of Thrones appears on all other devices...but on the original iPads only the first episode appears...with a link to purchase other episodes - However, I have purchased the entire season...and ALL the episodes are available for viewing on every other device. I should point out that these shows were not ripped from DVDs but purchased from the iTunes store. Each of these devices is linked to the exact same iTunes account for purposes of Home Sharing. I assume it must be something related to both of these iPads running iOS 5.1, but I can't imagine what that issue would be. I had originally thought that it may be due to the fact that 'Sherlock' is in 1080p, but most of the movies are also HD...as is the one episode of 'Game of Thrones' that does appear via Home Sharing, so I ruled that out.
    I realize this is not an earth-shattering issue, but it is a bit of a bother. Any ideas, suggestions or possible fixes would be appreciated.
    Thanks.

    I've the same problem as the original post. I already enabled photo stream for iCloud on both my iPhone 4S and my iPad Air. Both are running iOS 7. I didn't have this problem between my iPhone 4 and my old iPad.  Thanks for any advice.

  • I have an original iPad and when I try to login on Yahoo through Safari it will not log me in. What could be the problem?

    My original iPad will not log me into Yahoo through Safari. It's been this way for one week. I can access Yahoo on my PC with no problem so I think the problem is my iPad or Safari.

    Your description of the behavior  of the ipad1 during a login attempt is more precise than mine, it is the exactly as my ipad1 reacts and supposedly as all other iPad1 will behave. This could be solved either by apple with an update of the safari browser for ipad1. I do not think that apple will do that. Also yahoo could undo the change of the login procedure which they recently made and which is incompatible do the ipad1s safari browser. They hardly will do that either if not be urged by lots of ipad1 users.
    !!!!  SO SEND COMPLAINS TO YAHOO, PHONE THE HOTLINE ETC  !!!!!!
    Otherwise you have to buy a new iPad or to change the email provider.

  • Trying to upgrade OS on an original iPad.  Screen is locked showing iTunes/USB cable icons.  Connected to iTunes and get an error 3014 message stating it cannot be restored and screen is locked in this mode.  How do I unlock?

    Trying to update OS on an original iPad.  Connected to iTunes -- screen is locked showing iTunes/USB cable icons.  iTunes says must restore to default settings, but receive an error message 3014 that this cannot be done.  Cannot unlock screen to use nor can I update or restore, so iPad not usable at this point.  How can I unlock screen so I can use iPad, how do I fix this error?  Latest version of iTunes is downloaded and I've followed all the instructions in regard to Windows.  I'd at least like to unlock iPad so it can be used.  Thanks.

    bummer. *Note that if you are actually running iOS 5.1.1, that's it for the iPad 1st Gen.

  • Have original ipad which won't backup, itunes says there is an error but won't give me any details

    I have an original ipad which I struggled to update the OS software from 3.2 to 5.0 but eventually managed to do this manually.  HOwever, now there is an update to 5.1 which when I try to do it via wifi, it just says there is an error.  Tried to do it through iTunes but it starts to back up and then tells me there is an error but does not give details, when I click on the further information button it doesn't do anything.  Because it won't back up, it won't let me install the update.  It won't back up either to the computer or to iCloud, I have tried both.  I would be grateful if anyone has any ideas.
    Also, in case anyone can help - several of my apps won't work on my ipad - logo quiz, ibooks (worked fine until I updated software system) and a few others - just flicks on briefly and then throws me out.
    Thanks in advance.

  • I bought  an iPad 3 yesterday; this is an upgrade from the original iPad. I was told that migrating the data would be simple. My desktop is a PC with Windows 7 Professional. I can't find a way to back up my old iPad so I can restore the data to the new

    I bought an update to the original iPad an iPad 3. In was told that migrating the data from my old iPad to the new will be a snap. Alas, it isn't. My desktop is a new high end PC that came preloaded with Windows 7 Professional and I have had nothing but problems. My earlier computer was XP and everything, including my Apple interface, in particular iTunes, worked without problems. When I was trying to back up my data from the old iPad to my desktop, the only thing it would do is synchronize, then got an error message to download the latest iTunes, which I did but it still did not work. I have a lot of music both purchased through iTunes and a lot of others which were CDs that were copied to the desktop. I also have a lot of books through Kindle and other books in iBooks and audio books from other sources, plus two iPods I want to sync. I need some advise on where I find the back up feature in iTunes so I can copy all the data on from my old iPad. Your help would be most appreciated. Thank you.

    In technical support, sometimes you have to make educated guesses. I'm sorry that you were offended.
    iTunes does prompt when it is going to erase a device, and the message is clear.
    She said in her message that she was able to successfully sync the old ipad. This indicated to me that itunes wiping the data was not an issue, because either it had been setup at the apple store (in which case it doesn't actually wipe the ipad despite saying it will*) (*based on a single case I saw), or because the itunes media folder was migrated.
    Furthermore, my solution was to tell her how to backup her ipad (by either doing it manually, or as a last resort, by deleting the corrupt backup -- that she couldn't access anyway.)
    I got that last part of the instructions from the "Taking Control of your iphone" book which I found samples of when I did a google search for "corrupted backup itunes".
    She marked this as a solution, so it worked for her.
