TS1398 have been connected to my wireless network using a netgear sky broadband router succesfully for a few weeks, suddenly can't connect, network is showing but no signal - all other wireless gadgets are connected just fine - including iphone - any idea

my ipad 4 has been connected to my wireless network using a netgear sky broadband router succesfully for a few weeks, suddenly can't connect, network is showing but no signal - all other wireless gadgets are connected just fine - including iphone - any ideas?

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

  • Since upgrading to Maverick I cannot send/share photos through iPhoto. Dropbox says "not connected to server". All other online email activities work just fine.

    Since upgrading to Maverick I cannot send photos while in iPhoto.  Dropbox says I am not connected to server.
    All other internet email activities work just fine.

    And again why do you think Dropbox is involved in any way?  There is no connection of any sort between iPhoto and Dropbox
    THis sounds like you either need to (my personal suggestion) change your email client to Mail in the iPhoto preferenceemail if you want to use the iPhoto client under the accounts tab delete your account and re-enter it

  • My inbox is suddenly empty & won't retrieve new emails (use Thunderbird / Windows 7). All other boxes/folders are there just nothing in the inbox .

    From my main computer, all old emails that were in the Inbox are suddenly gone & I cannot receive new emails. All other folders/boxes are there (nothing has happened to those files) and I can send emails. I can see the emails in the inbox through my providers site. I have a laptop and the Thunderbird email account on it is working fine. I've compared all the email settings between the main computer & laptop & both are the same. Can you please tell me how to get the old & new emails on my main computer?

    After trying lots of other ideas (including removing a mail account and recreating it), I have deleted my preference files and my Library/Mail folder. Starting over completely from scratch seems to have fixed it.
    I'm disappointed that I could find a better solution.

  • TS3276 I am connected to internet...all other devices receive emails except my main computer.  Any ideas why?

    I am connected to internet...all other devices receive emails (ipad, iphone).  However, my main computer will not receive emails anymore.  Why?

    Ok.  So this is interesting.
    Previously, I had checked my storage with Yahoo Mail Plus and I had tons of available space.
    Similar to this post, I sent an email to Yahoo Mail customer service outlining my problem.  Did not receive a response.
    Despite my Yahoo Mail Plus account showing plenty of available space, I decided to clean-up (delete emails and delete the resulting Trash) the various folders in the Yahoo Mail Plus account.
    While deleting emails from the Sent folder and Spam folder in Yahoo Mail Plus, my Mac Mail started uploading my inbox from Yahoo Mail Plus.
    I don't know if someone at Yahoo Mail "fixed something" in response to my customer service email or whether Yahoo Mail wasn't allowing Mac Mail to upload my Inbox due to some "folder sublimit" issue that wasn't readily apparent (which was "resolved" when I started cleaning up the Yahoo Mail folders).
    I know it wasn't the overall storage that shows on your Yahoo Mail account because I checked that as one of the first things. 
    Anyway, I'm back up and running.  Thanks for responding and working with me to try to figure this out.

  • Have Windows 8.1 and have tried all fixes suggested on her but still can't get it to ask if I want passwords saved. These are sites that do permit it.Any ideas?

    I have one computer with Windows 7 and an older version of Firefox, not sure exactly which one. I have never had a problem with saving passwords on it. I now have a new computer with Windows 8.1 and the latest version of Firefox, installed 5.29.14, and it is only randomly saving passwords. All the sites I've tried are ones that permit this, and I was able to save them on Explorer. I've checked my settings and save password is enabled--it seems Firefox is being selective about what it will save passwords for. Is this something new or is there a way to change it so it the box will always pop up asking me to if I want to save a password? Thanks for any help!

    I appreciate your help but I am not a very expert computer user. I have checked that I am permitting passwords to be saved and it does work on some sites. I don't know how to do the first two things you mentioned
    "You can toggle the signon.overrideAutocomplete pref to true on the about:config page.
    You can remove autocomplete=off with a bookmarklet to make Firefox store form data like names and passwords. "
    I found a bookmarklet on the page above but I don't know how one applies them.
    What baffles me is why I've never experienced this issue with Windows 7 and the version of Firefox I am using on it. It works just fine on the Aetna site and all the others I'm having this problem wit Do you think it may be a Windows 8.1 issue? Or something with the new version of Firefox? As I said, I've got Win7 and an older version of Firefox that I use with it. I'm reluctant to update to a newer version of Firefox on my old computer in case that is the problem.
    Thanks very much for your help and any other suggestions are very much appreciated.

  • My Iphone (4) rings ..but keeps losing all other tones (mesage mail etc) ..., My Iphone (4) rings ..but keeps losing all other tones (mesage mail etc) ..., My Iphone (4) rings ..but keeps losing all other tones (mesage mail etc) ...

    Can anyone help. My Iphone 4 (9 months old) rings ok, but 3 time in the last weekend the tones have just stopped working. when I notice it and check a fewq settings ..nothing has changed. 3 times when I have connected to 'itunes' on my macbook ..the tones have 'come back' ... any one help please?

    OK I have found the answer, and NO thanks to Apple support!!! who had me running in circles around the website support rubbish, denying my guarantee (after recognising my serial number by the way) and telling me my phone number (in Hanoi) is NOT valid. disapointing APPLE ..... its the first time I have ever said that!
    The solution is very simple - clean your docking port with a toothbrush!!! it is simply a matter of dirt and foreign objects getting into the port and fooling the phone into 'thinking it is docked' ....
    Get a grip Apple support I should not have to find this out from strangers ......

  • I used a G-drive external hard drive for back-up.  I unplugged it and plugged it back in and now it isn't working, no back up is happening.  Any ideas ?

    External backup not working after unplugging

    You cannot just unplug a mounted drive, you must first Eject the drive, then disconnect it.
    Attach the drive, then open Disk Utility.  The drive should appear in the left-side panel in a dimmed mode.  Highlight the dimmed drive, then in the DU menu bar select Mount.
    That should then mount the drive and make it useable again.

  • TS4050 iCloud on Safari will not open Reminders -- I've tried using other browsers, and all other iCloud apps are fine. Any ideas?

    -- I've tried using other browsers, but no luck
    All other iCloud apps are fine via Safari (mail, calendar, etc.). Any ideas?
    I've tried clearing cache, logging in and out, switching off iMac.
    I'm using latest OS X and Safari versions.
    The problem seems to have crept to my iOS devices, which now register non-sync'd versions of my reminders lists, and which will not update via iClou

    Gawd, how have you managed not to update it?! The current version is Version 3.1.2 (4525.22)!
    Small wonder it won't work with 10.4.11.
    Have you ever used Software Updater to check whether there are any updates available for your Mac?
    I would recommend that you download the latest version from here:
    http://www.apple.com/safari/download/
    But please make sure that you download the version for Tiger and not for Leopard.
    BUT before you do so, and before you install it, please go through the following routine:
    Repairing permissions is an important part of regular maintenance, and should always be carried out both before and after any software installation or update.
    Go to Disk Utility (this is in your Utilities Folder in your Application folder) and click on the icon of your hard disk (not the one with all the numbers).
    In First Aid, click on Repair Permissions.
    This only takes a minute or two.
    Background information here:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25751
    and here:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302672
    If you were having any serious problems with your Mac you might as well complete the exercise by repairing your hard disk as well. You cannot do this from the same start-up disk. Reboot from your install disk (holding down the C key). Once it opens, select your language, and then go to Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Select your hard disk as before and click Repair.
    Once that is complete reboot again from your usual start-up disk.
    More useful reading here:
    Resolve startup issues and perform disk maintenance with Disk Utility and fsck
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1417
    If all is OK, install the new Safari, and REBOOT, then repair permissions again.

  • Trying to do a password update but it asks me for a four digit pass code. Does anyone know if that would have been a significant date or set of letters or numbers I was prompt for in the past when I first bought my phone?  Thanks.

    Trying to do a password update but it asks me for a four digit pass code. Does anyone know if that would have been a significant date or set of letters or numbers I was prompt for in the past when I first bought my phone?  Thanks.

    It rather depends on where you are seeing the demand for a passcode. If, as I assumed, you are trying to change the password at http://appleid/apple.com then that will ask for a passcode if 2-step verification has been set up. On the other hand, if, as Csound1 has assumed, you have changed the password on that website and are trying to enter it in your phone (for which you need to sign out completely before you can do this) and are being asked for a passcode that can only be one you set yourself (unless of course the phone is second-hand in which case that would open a whole new can of worms).

  • Hi,my berry flip has been acting weird for a few weeks n...

    hi,my berry flip has been acting weird for a few weeks now.So is my 2 otherfriends. But specificly one of my friends. I think we are being hacked. Is there any ways i could find out who's doing this and or how can we prevent them from hacking us. Thank you.

    Hi there!
    "Hacking" of a BB would be highly unusual and unexpected -- if ever. After all, POTUS has one, and such would not be allowed if they were hackable. I believe that something else is going on, but lacking specifics, only generic advice can be given.
    Anytime random strange behavior or sluggishness creeps in, the first thing to do is a battery pop reboot. With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes. See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure.
    If that does not work, then please return to these forums (http://supportforums.blackberry.com/rim/) and register an account so that we can provide you with direct assistance.
    Best!

    This crap just happened to me this morning where I was sent 90% data plan threshold warningfrom AT&T (while sleeping at 7:09am) then 5 minutes later getting the Overage data plan warning from AT&T.  This is all while I'm asleep right next to my phone plugged into a (non-Apple) dock on my clock radio.
    Android has a limiting feature, why can't the "smart" guys at Apple learn from this??

    Hello Jesslb23,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    For more information on this, take a look at:
    iOS: Troubleshooting Messages
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2755
    To resolve issues with sending and receiving iMessages, follow these steps first
    Check iMessage system status for current service issues.
    Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive and make sure that you have registered iMessage with your phone number or Apple ID and that you have selected iMessage for use. Learn more about troubleshooting iMessage registration if the phone number or Apple ID isn't available for use.
    Open Safari and navigate to www.apple.com to verify data connectivity. Learn more about troubleshootingcellular data or a Wi-Fi connection if a data connection isn't available.
    iMessage over cellular data might not be available while on a call. Only 3G and faster GSM networks support simultaneous data and voice calls. Learn more about which network your phone supports. Go to Settings > Wi-Fi and turn Wi-Fi on to use iMessage while on a call if your network doesn't support simultaneous data and voice calls.
    Restart your device.
    Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings on your iPhone.
    If you are still unable to send or receive an iMessage, follow these steps
    Make sure that the contact trying to message you isn't blocked in Settings > Messages > Blocked.
    Verify that the contact you are attempting to send a message to is registered with iMessage.
    If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, back up or forward important messages and delete your current messaging threads with the contact. Create a new message to the contact and try again.
    If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, delete and re-create the contact in the Contacts application. Create a new message to the newly created contact and try again.
    Back up and restore your device as new.
    Best of luck,
    Mario
