3G problems new iPad

I can see 3G coverage in the top left corner but when I try to connect it says no cellular network available? Ive seen a lot of people with this problem is there a fix or something I should turn on or off?

  • Is anyone having a problem with the new iPad (Gen. 3) not staying connected to the charger? It seems to ALWAYS get jiggled loose and no longer be charging. My iPad 1 has no issue but I can't browse Internet w/o new iPad unplugging. Horrible!

    I notice that my new IPad (3rd generation) will not stay connected to the power cord at all, I'm not exagerating, if I plug it in and browse the Internet without fail it will become unplugged and I will have to push the plug back in (Ba-beep). Ive actually grown to despise that sound when you plug your iPhone or iPad in because it reminds me of how much money I spent on something that PHYSICALLY will not charge while I'm using it.
    I know the problem with it holding a charge while in use, I get it, the screen is amazing and it takes a lot to run the display, however, it is unacceptable to me that I can't even keep the thing plugged in while I'm using it. I can not even leave it on my Cal King bed overnight because I will wake up in the morning to find that the plug has been jiggled loose in a corner, so it's still attached but not making a connection thus not being charged. 
    I love the 4GLTE from Verizon and I love the iPad, but I'm actually using my 1st generation IPad while I am at home so I can leave my new $900 iPad on a table to charge free of incident so I can use the 4G while I'm away from wifi during the day. I have been getting more upset about this because I can not even use the Griffin extended cord to charge the iPad and be far from the plug because only the original apple sync/charge cord will have a better shot at staying in. Absolutely none of my non apple cables will stay in the iPad 3 while having it in my hands.
    The plug is at an angle, unlike the first iPad, not sure about the iPad 2. Please let me know if they have same issue.
    If anyone else is having this problem with the Gen 3 iPad please let me know because I'm tempted to do something about it with apple and I'm hoping that I just for some reason have a bad cable receiver or something and maybe I can get a replacement and enjoy the iPad as I had expected to. There is no reason why I should be even using my first iPad and I have friends that want to buy it but I am not selling it because I'm unable to sell it because I can't handle the new iPad while it's plugged in, that is ridiculous if it's a common issue so please let me know!

    Thanks for the swift reply, I have been looking online and a loose plug seems to be somewhat of an issue with many, I hope mine is actually a problem and not what others are experiencing. It's taken me this long to even reach out for the simple fact I HATE being a complainer but this is just horrible.
    Do you have an iPad 3 as well? And is yours not experiencing any issues close to mine?
    Thanks again!

  • Face time fades out and then tries to reconnect on new ipad retina display on WiFi.  Iphone 4s has no problem with face time from exact same location and same contact.  WiFi signal strong on both devices.  What gives?

    Is the router to small?
    Not necessarily, if you are using Facetime all the data goes through your WiFi router, your cable/DSL modem, your ISP and the internet to Apple's Facetime servers and then, in reverse, down to the Facetime recipient. If your ISP connection is too slow or there is excessive traffic on the internet you can have Facetime problems.
    Most WiFi routers can handle this unless others in the house are also using WiFi at the same time. The problem may be your ISP connection or congestion on the internet, etc.

    You should sync your ipod to your computer regularly.

  • Problems with the new iPad and Joikuspot premium after iOS 6

    Hi,
    I'm experiencing serious problems with my new iPad after last iOS update. Usually I was connecting to the internet through Joikuspot premium on Nokia mobile phone (E6). I was able to do everything, https sites surfing, absolutely everything with no exceptions.
    Now, after iOS 6 update, I can't connect to https sites, google+, sync calendar etc.
    I've tried to change connection criteria on joikuspot but nothing. The fact is also that other devices as laptop or other smartphones are still working perfectly, in any case, sharing the wi-fi connection created by joikuspot.
    Finally the problem is 100% due to the iPad and the new iOS.
    disappointing, amateur for such a device... (iPad I mean).
    Any help?
    Many many thanks
    Vittorio

    Ho lo stesso problema, dopo l'aggiornamento a IOS 6 l'ipad non riconosce più il mio nokia N8. Con IOS 5 andava una cannonata...
    vorrei ritornare a IOS 5

  • Problems with HP TouchSmart 300 and Itunes - not transferring to iphone 4s or the new ipad

    Hi
    I've got problems with trying to transfer music to my iphone 4s or new ipad with itunes on this computer.  It will only transfer some songs....and what it does transfer is not complete i.e. starts 10 seconds in etc.  It doesn't do this with our ipods, which are both new.  Music transfers fine onto them.  We never had this problem with our old acer laptop.
    It also does this with photos, but I bought a camera connector for that problem.  This Touchsmart has always been a bit jittery with itunes, but still worked after for playing music music after launching task manager, and opening again.  This does not rememdy this issue.  I read a while back that people suggested completely removing itunes (and all it's components such as bonjour etc, but I'm not sure how to do this)and re-installing it all again.
    I believe this is a HP issue with software compatability with itunes and the 4s and ipad.  If anyone could help - that'd be appreciated, as it's driving me mad!!
    Thanks

    Hello funcdoc:
             I just got back from speaking with my friend. He said that only mp3 files can be loaded into your Iphone. Yes you can use the windows media center as I mentioned above post in case Itunes software still isn't working for you. I asked him about that also. He will be here on Thursday some time after 3:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time. To give you direction on how to load music mp3 from Itunes into your I phone as well. He is going to give you the links for downloading other music websites like you tube. He said you need this software as well. He is a casher was working to night it was to busy for him to write all this all down for you. He has college classes he goes during the day and works at night. He has been doing this since he was 11 years old. Like you he is in to his music.
           I hated it when he would use my computers because all the malware he use to put on my computers and the Itune always updateing pop up would always display. Then he would mess up my settings. This time my computer has software that can delete and fix up his mess he makes. So just relax for now if need be we can go live chat with any messengers you like to use Skype will allow you to view my computer screen. He is an expert using Apple's software.  You have already updated your computer software solution 25 has the one for fix USB and other ports issue you desribe in your second post . You have a fresh copy of Itunes installed so that covers every thing. If he isn't to busy in the store tomorrow I will see if he can write down some of the direction for you. He will be here for sure on Thursday for sure just for you.  Ok. Remember only mp3 music files can be uploaded unto I phones. frrw

  • Hello everyone: I am going to buy a new ipad in Australia and after that I am going back to China. I am just wondering if I can use it in China without any problem? Do I have to unlock or something like that?

  • Wifi problems with new ipad

    I'm trying to learn how to correct wifi problems with new iPad.  It is the wifi only, 64GB model.  I want to be able to use it at work, where we have a great wifi network.  I can usually connect to our network with no problem, but after an hour or so my iPad loses the network.  When I try to reconnect, I see that the network is showing full strength reception, but I get the error message from the iPad that I am "Unable to join" the network.  My iPhone connects to the same network seamlessly, as do all of the other iPhones of my co-workers and the older generation iPads that some of our staff has.
    At other locations, I typically have no problems (home, apple store, etc.) but I have had the same situation pop up at a coffee shop where I could see that there was a wifi network available, but I could not join it even though it was the shop's free wifi. 
    I have tried turning the iPad off, turning off wifi and turning it back on again, and forgetting the wifi network in question.  I can't think of any other methods that are available to an end user to correct the problem. 
    I have already gone to the Apple store to swap out the unit, and the newer one is having the same symptoms. 
    Can anyone offer any advice here?  This is quite frustrating.

    No problem! Have a read at this most interesting article which has special significance as regards your models!

  • How do I know if I have a wifi problem with my new iPad 3 (it seems very slow) and how does one address the problem with apple if there is one?

    I just read about the possible issue that some folks are having with their new iPad wifi (my seemed to be running very slowly but I thought that perhaps it was just me overreacting).  How do I know if I have a definite problem, and what is my recourse?  Do I need to take it to an Apple store for testing?  I have apple care which I assume addresses stuff like this.  Thoughts?  Thx so much.

    Your iPad is covered by the normal warranty for one year. If you have AppleCare that extends the coverage. If you feel there is a problem with your wifi reception visit an Apple store with your iPad for a consultation. Be sure to make an appointment before you go.

  • Does anyone has a problem with the screen of the new ipad? (there's a part of the screen which the color in it is "very" bright) and when I move the aluminium part of the smart cover when it's attached to the ipad the colors change!! Help!!!

    I'd take it into my local APple store and have them look at it. There may be something wrong inside your device.

    Is there any Apple support out there that can help with my several day old new iPad?  Or maybe some smart user has figured this out?

  • Why is the sound of my new ipad cutting out intermittently and what does Apple recommend to solve the problem in lieu of any updates?

    Why is the sound of my new ipad cutting out intermittently and what does Apple recommend to solve the problem in lieu of any updates? All of a sudden without changing any settings, the audio on my NEW ipad cuts in and out on applications/ games, keypad noise and lock sounds. The rocker button only seems to work while the sound is intermittently being heard before, after a few seconds of noise not doing anything when sound goes off.
    This is highly frustrating as I've noticed others posting about such issues as far back as April. Anybody had the same thing happen to them? Is this likely software (ios6) or hardware issue? What are the solutions Apple???

    Apple has no physical stores of their own in Dubai, so unless you mean that you purchased from the online Apple Store for the UAE, you purchased from a dealer, who may or may not have been authorized. You can check the expiration date of the warranty on your iPad yourself by entering in the serial number here:
    https://selfsolve.apple.com/agreementWarrantyDynamic.do
    If it does indeed show the warranty has expired, then what you need to do from here will depend on who you purchased the iPad from and when you really did purchase it. Perhaps you actually purchased it in August and are just misremembering? Check your receipt. If you confirm that you did purchase within the last calendar year, tell us exactly where you got it and we can probably offer advice.
    Regards.

    This does help me because I am pondering on wether to buy an airport extreme to solve my ipad 2 connection woes.  I have an extremely old router dLink 524....but I have NEVER had any problems with it at all ever.  My xbox connected great to it and netflix ran flawless through my xbox.....now I have an ipad2 and an apple tv and they are BOTH having horrible connection problems.  I have read most of the forums on how to fix it by changing the settings on my router but since mine is so old I couldn't do some of the suggested solutions.  So here I am debating on whether to spend all this $ on an airport extreme?  I am just hoping that if I go and purchase this, my connectivity issues problems will go away like yours did.  Just wondering if you have ATV as well and if the AE solved its problems?  I have read about AE solving ipad2 wifi problems, I'm just hoping it will solve my ATV as well.
