Why does my iPad lose the Internet connection ?

Why won't my iPad battery recharge?  Sent this message before & would

I didn't do the most recent upgrade as I had problems with it when I did the previous one.  I have the  IPAD WI-FI 32GB .  It seems to be charging ok .  I did a Sync yesterday and now it won't connect to the Internet although it was working fine last evening and I didn't change any settings. 
When I plug it in to my iMac, the iPhoto applicaiton opens and I have to open the iTunes application even though I have it set to open when I connect the iPad. 
Appreciate any help or suggestions you can offer.  Thank you in advance.

  • Why does my iPad lose the network I'm on when it goes to sleep?

    I Just moved in with someone and I have to manually join the network every time I turn my iPad on. Now all of a sudden, every time my iPad goes to sleep it loses the connection all together. I've already tried resetting the network and also location in the settings. Any other 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

  • Why does firefox crash when the internet connection is lost?

    We have been having trouble with our internet connection recently and firefox crashes whenever the connection is lost, but this didn't used to happen, so I was wondering why this was happening.

    If there is any intermittent issues or connection is lost you will revert to the menu, regardless. The 'apps' are fed via server and there is nothing stored on the unit, it simply caches when you are online.
    As for the initial wait time. That could be due to ISP throttling, interference, using another DNS
    Note: This is a user forum, there is no service provided here by Apple. If you wish to get official tech support you need to contact them.

  • HT1689 Why does my ipad always says CANNOT CONNECT TO ITUNES STORE even when i got all the internet connections needed?

    Why does my ipad always says CANNOT CONNECT TO ITUNES STORE even when i got all the internet connections needed?

    Check to make sure you don't have your restrictions turned on, which may be preventing your access to iTunes.
    Tap on the settings icon, then tap General, then check to see if you have restrictions turned to ON.  If so turn it off.

    Try this first - 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 - let go of the buttons.
    This works for some users. Not sure why.
    Go to Settings>General>Date and Time> Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead by about a year.Then see if you can connect to the store.

  • My computer loses the internet connection

    hello,
    I have a big problem. When I connect my iPhone, my computer loses the internet connection. Before everything was perfect. I have my iPhone since June 2010.
    I need your help please

    I may have the same/a similar problem.  I got the my WRT54GS v7 router on Wednesday (12/26) but I didn't have a change to install it until Sunday (12/30).  I was able to get it set up just fine (PPPoE access through local SBC DSL)... my wife and I got our computers hooked up (wired) to the router, and our Wii was hooked up wirelessly.  Everything seemed to be working great... but the router seems to be dropping the connection every few hours.  If I power off/power on the router, it finds the connection again... but I don't want to be resetting the router every few hours from now until forever.  I'm not 100%, but this may very well be happening every time we connect wirelessly... the first time was when we got the Wii set up, then when a friend connected wirelessly, and then again with the Wii a few more times.  I know it is not the internet connection myself... we've had this connection for a few years, and used an older Linksys router that worked just fine (we went to WRT54GS to go wireless).  The router is locked down with WPA2-personal encryption, and quite a long random string to get in, so I'm pretty sure it is not outsiders.  I tried a firmware upgrade and that didn't help at all either.  I'd be interested in seeing a solution to this problem soon please!  (I'm not sure I understand the instructions of the one response already on this thread.)

  • Why do i keep getting the "internet connection timeout" error message?

    i have been upgrading a few standard itunes albums to itunes plus versions through my 3g mobile broadband connection, while not exactly a fast process, it was working fine until i started to get a backlog of 3 or 4 albums which were waiting in a queue to be downloaded, now every time i do the "check for downloads" option i get the "internet connection timed out" error message...this has been going on for 2 days! am i right in suspecting the backlog of albums is too much for my 3g mobile broadband connection? this is really doing my head in, if any of you techies could help me, it'd be much appreciated...?

    yes i have recently updated to itunes 8.2.1, but i am starting to think its apple's servers (i tried to download at my brothers house...different computer and connection...same connection timeout error), because it will still let me download an album, but not necessarily all of the tracks. when i questioned itunes customer services about the seemingly hit and miss state of affairs with downloading, they told me to wait 3 weeks before trying to download the tracks that were giving me the grief (2 tracks from an arctic monkeys album)...which kinda indicates they know there is a problem and are trying to fix it, why else would they say wait 3 wks??? they gave me 5 free music tracks too, which is handy.

  • Why does my iPad shut down internet unexpectedly

    Why does my iPad mini shut dow

    Hi Jenidoran,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    It sounds as if you are having unexpected Wi-Fi signal drops on your iPad. In this situation I would recommend the steps in the following article.

  • Why does Airport card lose AX network connection intermittently??

    I'll be working, and then abruptly the Airport card in my iMac G4 loses the AX connection to the Apple network, and can't find any network. My iBook picks it up fine. Then, maybe within a half hour or so, it suddenly finds the AX Apple network again. All the while my iBook is fine. The only difference between these computers is that the iBook has an Airport Extreme card, and the iMac has an Airport card. And, I'm also in the same room as the AX station. iStumbler appears to show a loss of signal when this occurs, but that doesn't explain the iBook working fine.
    I looked in the AP mgmt utility, and saw this:
    "Deauthenticated with station (iMac mac address) (inactivity)."
    And then:
    "Deauthenticated with station (iMac mac address) (received invalid class-3 frame)."
    What is the problem here??
    Config: Cable Modem > Belkin F5d7230-4 router > ethernet to AX > wireless to computers
    iBook G4 / iMac G4 / iPod 20GB   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  
    iBook G4 / iMac G4 / iPod 20GB   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    I'm looking into that possibility.......have a cordless phone in the office, a PC, cell phones, etc. Will clear them out and recheck. The maddening thing is that the iBook is totally bulletproof even in that environment. Why would the iMac be having these issues, but not the iBook? Is Airport Extreme more robust, or that much better than Airport?
    Even now, the iMac shows no network - yet I'm writing this on the iBook right next to it, and it's had no network interruption whatsoever.
    Do you have any knowledge of those "error" notations from the syslog? Could they be pointing to anything else?
    Thanks much.....

  • Why does my iPad 3 fail to connect to the Internet via a MiFi 4510L?

    On Sunday, I ran many tests under the guidance of a senior Verizon engineer to try to determine why the Verizon MiFi4510L mobile hotspot will not connect to the network on a third-generation iPad.
    In the course of our tests, we:
    1. Updated the firmware on the MiFi to the latest Novatel release: 2.23
    2. Tested the MiFi4510L with an iPad2, an iPhone 4 and the latest generation iTouch. In each case, they connected flawlessly to the network and held the connection.
    3. Removed the MiFi4510L from the new iPad(3) and re-installed to make sure the password was correctly set.
    4. Confirmed that the MiFi4510L unit was running the latest encryption software that the Apple iPad in fact supports. The Verizon security setting is WPA2 Personal/PSK (AES).
    5. Reset the MiFi4510L unit.
    6. Simultaneously power re-started the iPad and the MiFi4510L.
    The IPad(3) finds and marks the MiFi4510L in the network queue. It then toggles between connected and not connected every couple of seconds or so in the setting panel. One never encounters a check mark to indicate that there is a solid signal. The MiFi4510L “sees” the iPad3 (confirmed by a bottom dot.) It can handle as many as 5 “dots” simultaneously.
    I have tested the new iPad(3) with my home network, which runs on two bridged Apple Extreme routers connected to a Verizon FiOS base unit. It works fine. 
    So … Everything points to the conclusion that the iPad(3) has broken the connection to the MiFi4510L for some still unknown reason. Verizon is emphatic is its view that their unit is OK. If they are right it would mean that every buyer of the new iPad who attempts to connect wirelessly to the Internet through a MiFi4510L – and there would lots of them -- is going to encounter the same problem that I have encountered.

    I am having the same exact issue.  I just purchased the new ipad yesterday.  I can get the iPad to connect to my home Comcast network.  I can get my iPhone and computer to connect to the MiFi4510L but not the new iPad.  I know it works because my son's works on his MiFi4510L. 
    I've also "forgot the network" on the iPad.  Turned everything off and reinstalled the network after restarting both units.
    I called Verizon which said it's the iPad because I can get to the iPhone and my computer.  I then called Apple who said it's the Mifi because I can get on my home network. 
    Allansch, did you ever find the answer to the problem?  Anyone else have any ideas???? 
    I have an iHeadach!

  • Why does my iPad loose the connection to VPN in Stand-By?

    Hey!
    I got a problem with VPN and iOS (on iPad 2). When I connect to a VPN-Server (I tried it with different protocols exept the 'Cisco IPsec'-stuff) and the iPad goes into Stand-By, the iPad looses the connection and I manually have to reactivate it in the menu. I am very sure that this is not a problem of the server (tried also different services). Can I fix the bug myself or do I have to wait for an update?

    Sorry, that's Adobe, not Adoby.

  • Why does my iPad open the app store whenever an add comes up when I'm on the internet?

    When I'm on my iPad and on the internet whenever a game app add comes up on the side it forcibly takes me to the app store to download the app without me even touching it. I have tried different browsers and they all do it.

    That's because the ad contains JavaScript which activates a URL. That URL causes the App Store to open.
    Avoid those sites which cause this. Complain to their webmasters.
    Using "Settings > Safari > Clear Cookies and Data" may help.

  • Why does my iPad mini refuse to connect to the shared network connection from my mac mini?

    Sometimes it works, most of the time it just sits there "searching" with the little wheel just spinning away. I've tried resetting the network settings under the "General" tab as well as "forget this network" and have no password set, and still I get spinning. iPad Mini and Mac Mini are both up to date with software and have no current updates available. The iPad is only a couple of feet away from the Mac without anything but air between them. I have tried turning of wi-fi on iPad and back on again as well as turning off sharing and back on again and every combination I could think of and it's still spinning. I thought buying all apple products would make things easier to configure but that was totally WRONG.

    I managed to get the connection back! I renamed the network under "Wi Fi Options" from the "Sharing" screen and told the iPad Mini to forget the network. I then restarted BOTH the iPad and the Mac Minis at the SAME TIME. When they finished restarting the iPad Mini saw and connected to the new network almost immediately.
