Wifi gone...why?!

the wifi on my ipad2 just stopped working (worked fine for 2 weeks). It finds the router but no DNS etc. wifi works fine on iphone and ipod touch. What's happened to my ipad?!

You should have the password for the wifi router.
In Settings you can tell the iPad to "forget" the connection and then you can set it up again from scratch ( Remember to power down, not just sleep, before you set up the wifi  again.).
Let us know what happens.

  • K1 - When turn off WIFI gone , WHY ????

    When I turn-off my K1 , then turn back on again my WIFI just gone , I have to reconnect the WIFI by entering the WEP password .
    It's seem likes the K-1 does not keep/save/store the WEP password. Any place in the set-up so I can save the WEP password. ???
    Best Regards.

    Manual update your k1 till you have updated it to the latest.
    If you updated your k1 to the latest update and still does weird things. Consider returning your k1 for a replacement or for a refund. Alot of people already gave up on the k1 and returned it for a-refund. It saved them alot of aggravation.

  • IOS 5 used to allow Airplay between iPad (WiFi) and Apple TV (Ethernet) as long as they were on the same network. In iOS 6, now both the iPad and the Apple TV have to be on the same network and both have to be connected using WiFi ? Why did they change ?

    iOS 5 used to allow Airplay between iPad (WiFi) and Apple TV (Ethernet) as long as they were on the same network, i.e. connected to the same wired/wireless router. In iOS 6, now both the iPad and the Apple TV have to be on the same network and both have to be connected using WiFi ? Why did they change this ? Means that the iPad and the Apple TV box both have to be in range of the wireless router when this wasn't a restriction before. Apple TV could be anywhere as long as it was connected to the same wireless router via ethernet cable. Seems like an unnecessary thing to restrict.

    I have found with AppleTV that it is the IPV6 on the computer you want to access is the problem.  The issue is that Homegroup on Win 7 or Win 8 requires IPV6 to work, but AppleTV won't work with IPV6.  (So maybe double check you have IPV6 turned off)
    So you have to make a choice - Homegroup or AppleTV.... but you can't have both, until Apple brings ATV up to date. (crazy that it does not recognise IPV6 - c'mon Apple!)
    You can set up sharing individually in Win 7 or 8 and have the ATV access files that way.
    Having said that, there is always the exception.. I have an old HP home server running Win8 and it services ATV - but is part of the Homegroup... have no idea why it works on both, but no other machine on the home network will talk to both ATV and Homegroup at the same time!

  • Download of update in Mountain Lion has disabled my Wifi.  Why

    For at least the third time, I have downloaded an update to Mountain Lion and it has disabled my wifi!  Why?  Can anyone help?

    The pop up saying there were updates to my OS (Mountain Lion) available and I chose the Update button which restarted my MacBook.  When it restarted, it would no longer connect to the Wifi.  When I went to Network Preferences, the Wifi is turned off and will not allow me to turn back on.  Additionally, the device does not recognize any networks and just continues to "search" for them. 
    This is the 3rd time this has happened to me when downloading updates to the OS!  Every other time has required support to get involved.  I am wondering how many other people this has happened to?

  • I just added an iphone for my wife.  Why do we both see each others texts on both phones

    i just added an iphone for my wife.  why do we both see each others texts on each phone??

    Well this is happening because you have the same apple id.
    You can create one on your device or on itunes on the computer for free.

  • How many miters is the iphone wifi and why dosnt the wifi atchive long rang networks

    how many miters is the iphone wifi and why dosnt the wifi atchive long rang networks

    I don't understand your question at all. I think you are asking what the range is for WiFi on an iPhone. It meets the WiFi standard, which is 40 meters if there are no obstructions, much less if there is anything at all between the phone and the router. My iPhone meets the standard.

  • TS1398 i cannot receive emails on my iphone 4 if i turn my wifi off, why is this?

    i cannot receive emails on my iphone 4 if i turn my wifi off, why is this?

    Can you receive emails from other accounts when Wi-Fi is off?
    Make sure Cellular Data is on in Settings > General > Network.
    Also, you may want to try the ideas here -> iOS: Unable to send or receive email

  • HT3529 I'm sending an iMessage from my iPhone to another iPhone but the recipient phone does not receive message because not on wifi. Why does recipient iPhone not automatically receive in text messaging?

    I'm sending an iMessage from my iPhone to another iPhone but the recipient phone does not receive message because not on wifi. Why does recipient iPhone not automatically receive in text messaging?

    Wi-Fi is not required for iMessage. Internet access is required for iMessage which includes when the iPhone is connected to the cellular network.
    If an iMessage cannot be sent, it will fail to send and you will be prompted to send as an SMS if text only.

  • Switched from BB Torch 3 mths ago, not 100% satisfied, I'm trying...I plugged in my bfs Macpro to charge, I didn't get a prompt asking what I wanted to do(BB does), all my bfs txt msgs,pics were on my phone, EVERYTHING, my holiday pics R gone:(  why

      I don't understand why there wasn't a prompt to ask what I wanted to do, when my phone was plugged into my bfs computer.  My BB always asked what I wanted to do, and in order to answer, I had to unlock my phone.  I lost everything, from pics of us cutting down our tree, which was actually the top of a 17ft tree, and us holding it after we had trimmed it to the size we wanted... All pics of our holidays & New Years, which was our first year we got to spend it together, so they were really special to me.  I have had my issues with not being able to go in the middle of a word, to correct spelling, and not having the keyboard like the torch, but I was trying my best to learn to love the iPhone, like anyone I know who has one, had told me I would come to love it.  I am completely devastated over this, and I can not understand how this could have happened.  Shouldn't I of had a prompt, asking me to restore my phone???  Something to notify me of what was going to happen...Anything, but it went ahead and changed my phone over, which even has the background/wallpaper choices of the iPhone5.  I lost all my contacts, and my notes???   I have health problems and kept a record of everything, which I have done with my blackberry, and its all gone...every bit of it:(   All my apps had my bfs AppleID and had to change all of that, and to my surprise, all my reminders came back the day after.  How could this possibly have happened to me???    I had a lock on my phone, and if anything, I thought the iPhone would be the same as the blackberry when it came to that, but even better, and I was wrong, but I paid for my poor lack of judgement...to me, the price I paid for it, I will never forget it.  When I saw the reminders had come back, I thought there may be a chance of recovering the rest of the data I lost on my phone....well, I am hoping, praying, there is a way to retrieve it all. 
      If anyone can help me with this, please, please, please, I would soooooo appreciate it...it means the world to me, and if its possible to do, I'll stay with iPhone:)
    Thank You

    There was a prompt. It asked if you wanted to set it up as a new phone or restore from a backup. You, or someone, selected "Restore from Backup".
    What were you backing it up to before you did this? If your computer, plug it in to your computer and restore.
    If iCloud, go to Settings>General>Resets>Reset All Content and Settings. When it goes through the setup, tell it to restore it from your iCloud backup.
    If nothing, then the content of your phone is gone.

  • After backup...newer text messages are gone. why?

    I have a complicated problem. I had an iphone 5. It was a prepaid number. I dropped it and the screen was black. I plugged it up and recharged it...tried to reset it and still just black screen. I could hear the alerts and it would ring but I couldn't answer it. I had backed it up about a month ago. Well my father got me a new iphone 6 and added me to his verizon plan. They gave me a new number but when I put in my apple id and password, my contacts showed up and a couple of pictures. Well today, I hooked up my new phone to my laptop and it loaded all the stuff...photos, texts,wallpaper...to my new phone. But my problem is that I had some new text messages just from this past week of using my new phone and now they are gone. I had some texts from my son who just went to boot camp a couple weeks ago that I really want back....is there anyway I can get those? Why did they go away? Is there anything I can do? Thanks for any help.

    I hate my iphone at this moment. I don't even remember it asking me to restore...it just ***** right now...but thanks for the answer. He had just sent me his address. I'll have to get it from some one. But I really would like to have our conversations also.

  • Why can't I access my own wifi? why do I get a blue screen on start up or after watching a netflix movie, and why is it getting so hot?

    My mac has been showing a blue screen on start up and before shut down, especially after netflix. Is it silverlight? Why can't I get on my own wifi? It defaults to a linkys public network, I try to access the secure network, type my password, enter, and I get connection timeout.

    I was re-decorating my blogger .. then I got the 'Bad Request Error 400' ..  I re-formatted my computer, reloaded all .. I can now access my Blogger sites .. Don't know what the problem is/was, but I solved it by reloading my computer to Out-of-Box condition, and all is perfect now  .. I have an alert set up for this Error 400 .. Masses of people are having problems daily ..

  • Hi, recently my Iphone 4S having wifi problem. I have try to restore it and accidentally get everything clear off. I have also notice that my phone is not USB recognized by my laptop before my wifi gone. Is there any ways to restore my contact?

    Hi,
    My Iphone 4S having wifi problem. I also noticed that the USB is not longer recongnized by my laptop anymore.
    I tried to upgrade my IOS6 into 7 hopefully it work...
    Somehow, all data (contacts, sms, photo and etc) were gone after I did that.
    Since my USB and wifi is not function, is there anyway to retrieve my lost contacts?
    For Icloud, is the data retrieve via the phone sim? Phone mac ID? Apple ID? or everything?

    Did you backup your iPhone 4S before to upgrade? If you did, you may recover your contacts from it.
    iOS: How to back up and restore your content.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
    Or you should use an iPhone recovery software to get your lost contacts back. Please follow the blog's tips to have a try.
    For iCloud, it does not retrieve the phone sim data. It can only restore your backup data. And, if you want to find your Apple ID, you should read this:
    Apple ID: How to find your Apple ID.

  • HT1222 Since I downloaded my update my iPad will not stay connected to the wifi. Why? & how can I fix it?

    What networks do not work?
    It could be that the ports used are being blocked. See:
    Using FaceTime and iMessage behind a firewall
    Try using Google's  DNS with the other networks. When connect to those networks, go to Settings>wifi and change the DSN to 8.8.8.8
