TS1398 Why does my iPad2 not display the WiFi icon?

Why does my iPad2 not display the WiFi icon? I have implemented ALL of the troubleshooting tips, but my WiFi icon is still missing, and it will NOT recognize the internet connection that I know to work on my computer and iPhone.

Try the following:
1. Reset the AirPlay devices
2. Reboot the router
3. Reboot the iPad
Note: The AirPlay icon is now in the Control Center

  • Why does my MacBookPro not see the WiFi signal?

    When I open up my MacBookPro in the room where the WiFi transmitter is located it will not connect with it. When inspecting the networks list I notice that my own network is not listed. When the name of the home network does appear trying to connect with it will lead to a timeout error.
    When I take the computer upstairs (3rd level, 20 meters away from the WiFi box and have two solid concrete floors between it) the network will be recognized and connected to right away.
    Windows 7 computers, the iPad, an IPodtouch, and 4 smartphones of diverse brands do not have this problem. My other Macbook with osx 10.6 has the same problem.
    Anybody solved this?

    Try the following on your MBP, in order, until (hopefully) resolved:
    1a. Delete Preferred Network(s)
    System Preferences > Network > Wi-Fi > Advanced > Wi-Fi tab
    Under "Preferred Networks," delete the network(s) you regularly use from the list.
    1b. Delete AirPort Keychain Entries
    Launch the "Keychain Access" application located in Applications/Utilties.
    In the windows on the left side: Select login for Keychains and "All Items" for Category.
    Click on the "Kind" filter at the top, and look for any "AirPort network password" entries...and delete them.
    1c. Add Preferred Network(s)
    System Preferences > Network > Wi-Fi > Advanced > Wi-Fi tab
    Add the preferred network(s) using the "+" button.
    Restart or log out then back in.
    2. Move System Configuration Files
    (Note: You will have to reestablish your network connections settings.)
    Go to /Library/Preferences
    Move the SystemConfiguration folder to the desktop.
    Restart your Mac. (Note: OS X will rebuild the files that are now sitting on your desktop. If this doesn't resolve the issue, you can move the folder back to it's original location.)

  • Why does my image not reach the edges of the page when printed, but appears fine as pdf?

    Why does my image not reach the edges of the page when printed, but appears fine as pdf?

    Check a printable area of your printer.
    Make a (grey) rectangle that is larger than the paper size. Print it,
    you'll get a message that some cropping will occur, that's okay. Then take a
    ruler and measure the dimensions of the rectangle printed on the paper or
    the white borders around the printed rectangle.

  • I have just updated to ISO 8 and my app icons are not displaying the correct icon but just a generic icon. Anyone had a similar problem?

    I have just updated to ISO 8 and my app icons are not displaying the correct icon but just a generic icon. Anyone had a similar problem?

    That happened to me for a short period of time after I updated. It didn't do it with all apps, but it did it with a few here and there. Try a few basic standard troubleshooting steps. Close all apps and reset the iPad.
    In order to close apps, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
    You can also try resetting all settings. You will not lose any data, but most of the device settings will have to be entered in the settings app again. Settings>General>Reset>Reset all Settings.
    Hopefully it will be something simple, but don't rule out restoring the iOS software, if nothing else works, but start with this easy stuff first.

  • My iPhone is not showing the wifi icon

    My iPhone is not showing the wifi symbol  at the top of the screen, but the 3G symbol. Settings shows that there is a connection to my wifi router. In fact, my iPad is showing a wifi connection. My iPhone is less than a meter from my router. Help please.

    Try turning wifi off and back on.
    Try an iPhone reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.
    Try resetting your network settings.
    Try power cycling your router.

  • Why does Email text not display, only the header?

    When opening an email message, the text or graphics if applicable does not display.  The messages display in my Inbox along with the Preview Pane, but when opened the text box is blank.  Why?

    Close out of the mail app, then double tap the home button and completely close out of the app.
    Then do a reset, no data loss.  Hold down the home/sleep button together until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up.

  • Why does my Macbook not choose the 5Ghz network?

    Hi there! Can anyone tell me why, if I have a dual band simultaneous Airport Extreme and iStumbler says I have a 58% 5 bar 5Ghz on channel 100 signal right at the top of the list of available networks and the other examples from my network are 45% and 42% on the 2.4Ghz band - then why does my Macbook insist on choosing one of the lesser signal strength networks to log in to? I am extending my network via an Airport Express in the bedroom and I think it is that which is showing the highest signal (probably as it it considerably closer than the Extreme where I am sat right now!). Just wondered, doesn't seem very dual band to me if it never connects to the better band? Don't want to force it to connect to 5Ghz as that's not required, at the moment it chooses.

    Chances are that the extended network is using the 2.4 GHz radio band as this band allows for greater range. Remember that the AirPort Express can only operate in one band or the other. It is not a simultaneously dual-band device like your Extreme.

  • Why does Firefox SOMETIMES not show the AVG toolbar

    I have Firefox 14.0.1 and when I open it SOMETIMES the AVG toolbar is not there but sometimes it is. When it is not there the space for it to be in is there but nothing is in it. This happens often and I have to open another Firefox screen and go on doing so until one with the AVG toolbar appears

    Do you need the AVG toolbar? Some people have reported that it causes problems with Firefox.

  • Why does Photoshop Elements not remove the old version after installing an upgrade?

    When I install a new version of Photoshop Elements, it converts the old catalog but does not remove the old programs.  I just installed PS 11 over PS 10 and it did not remove it.  I have had the same problem with each upgrade.  I have to manually uninstall the old version.
    Thanks.

    It's good to have the software you paid for
    Uninstalling the older version post an upgrade might be discomforting to many users, so...
    Catalog conversion works fine irrespective of whether you uninstall or do not uninstall the older version since the catalog folders are not touched during uninstall.
    Thanks

  • Why does my iphone 4s display the incorrect album artwork when a song is playing?

    When I rotate my phone, it makes no difference what song is playing at any given time,  the artwork and track list is incorrect.  For example when I rotate my phone horizontally from a song list view or a album track list view the album artwork is diplayed on the left and the track listing is on the right. Additionally the pause button is at the bottom of the album cover.  The problem is that iTunes is not diplaying the song and ablum that is currently playing.  What is the solution?
    The image below is what is diplayed when a track is playing.  How did the iPhone select this ablum to display?

    Thank you for your help but it did not solve the problem. My lyrics are working again though so that's good. Additionally iTunes has duplicated some of my albums. Some albums appear normally but those that are duplicated show the iCloud download next to it.

  • When I drag and drop an icon from the address bar to the desktop is does creat the shortcut but will not display the website icon, only the firefox icon, how can I display website icons?

    When I drag and drop a website icon from the Forefox address bar to the desk top, the short cut is created but the icon that appears is the firefox Icon. I want to disply the icon from the website that the short cut refers to. I have checked all I can think of in my computer to no avail.

    You have to assign the favicon yourself to the desktop shortcut (right-click the shortcut: Properties) after you have dragged the link to the desktop.
    You can usually find the favicon in Tools >Page Info > Media and save the icon there.
    Otherwise use the main domain of the website and add favicon.ico (e.g. mozilla.com/favicon.ico ) to display the favicon in a tab and save that image to a folder.

  • I have a Iphone 42 and want to transfer my photos to my PC why does my computer not recognise the Iphone when I connect it to the pc?

    Can any help. I want to transfer photos on my Iphone 4s to my PC, my computer will not recognise the phone when I connect via the USB port to the PC.  Any Ideas would be appreciated.

    Do you get any response from the computer when you plug the phone in? I'm guessing that you are going into Computer to see if you find the phone? If you go into Device Manager, do you see any errors in the USB area?
    See this support document and pay particular attention to step 5 regarding drivers. http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
