After connecting to Bluetooth keyboard, iPad 2 will not connect to Internet (wifi) at all. Wifi is ok, have tried turning off bltooth, wifi on iPad. It sees the network but won't connect. Help? Have also reset network settings etc
My iPad wifi was working great until I I connected it by Bluetooth to a keyboard (zagg). It was the first time I'd used Bluetooth
Immediately Internet was dropped on my ipad. My iPhone was and is still connected no prob. And I cannot get the iPad wifi to work again....at all!!!
This is major as I am away from my desktop for three months. Any fix cannot involve being at my desktop with iTunes which is 10,000 km away
So far This is what I've tried based on other discussions-
-turned Bluetooth off and unpaired to keyboard which was also turned off
- turned iPad wifi off and on (several times)
- forgot the network I useArrive Jul 19 depart Aug 25th. Originally it was Sept 9.
-- reset network settings
What happens is that the iPad sees the network and I enter my password. But, instead of getting "check mark" indicating a successful connections it keeps "circling". Sometimes the airport bars will show, but disappear or flicker. It never connects with a check noted in settings. Any attempts to use internet confirm there is no connection
My network is not a cafe or public network. It is one I regularly use here at my family's home where I am visiting
Any ideas!

Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

Unable to Connect After iOS Update - saw this solution on another post.

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.

My hotspot won't connect my PC to the internet since I upgraded the op sys on the 4s iphone. The PC sees that hotspot but won't connect. The op sys on the PC is windows 7 ultimate. Can anyone tell me what to do please?
Glad to hear it is all straightened out. You are right about the upgrade cost. That is one reason why Adobe switched to monthly licensing—no more upgrade cost <g, r, & d>. Of course we do have nearly monthly product upgrades. It is almost like playing whack a mole.

IMac sees the ethernet but won't connect to the internet
we had a power outage that crashed the imac. now it won't connect to the internet. the imac can see the ethernet connection. we have several other apple and dell devices that all see the internet so it's not cabling or hardware. it's a cable modem connection that uses automatic DHCP configuration. I've created a new Location setting with no change. I'm assuming that there is a corrupted file since all the other systems connect fine. any idea which one it may be or what else I should be looking for?
Shot in the dark, but did you try an SMC reset?
SMC Reset
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer’s power cord and disconnect peripherals.
Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
Release the power button.
Attach the computers power cable.
Press the power button to turn on the computer. -
After updating to iOS7 on my iPhone 4 I cannot enable location services. How do I enable location services? I have tried turning off restrictions but that did not work.
I finally just resolved this after not being able to enable location services since upagrading to iOS 7. Posting the solution here 'cause I couldn't find it anywhere else.
I enabled Restrictions under Settings > General > Restrictions and created a passcode (I'm not sure if this was part of the solution, but it wasn't enabled for me by default.)
In Restrictions, under Privacy, Location Services was set to "Allow Changes" (This still didn't solve the issue of the greyed-out Location Services switch though - I still couldn't turn it on.)
Also in Restrictions, I also switched "Find My Friends" to "Allow Changes"
Once I did step 3, the switch under Settings > Privacy > Location Services was no longer greyed out and could be switched on.
Hope this helps! -

I was downloading the new IOS and message could not find Iphone appears in Itunes window - Now my my phone is stuck with the power symbol and an arrow pointing to the Itunes symbol, I have tried turning off my phone and turning it back on but nothing seems to work
So when you plug it into your computer, you're not getting a message in iTunes that it has discovered a phone in recovery mode?
Reboot both the computer and the phone and try again. -
I have tried manually removing itunes and reinstalling. i have gone through the sevices anf tried turning on the AMDS. i have tried turning off the firewall. i have tried restoring my device. i have tried "fixing" the AMDS in the add/remove programs. I have tried using a different device. i have tried using a different cable. I have tried all of the steps given in the link supplied by Apple. None of these things have fixed my problem. I still have the Error Message "The Apple Mobile Device Service started then stopped. Some services stop automatically if they have no work to do, for example, the Performance Logs or Alerts service. I am using Windows XP. I am leaning towards a last resort which would be to wipe my hard drive and start from scratch. Does anyone have a solution?

Not with your current user id.
Far too much uneccesary information in your post, which only confuses things, a vast amount!
Let's start with iTunes.
Have you updated iTunes to 11.1.5, because the previous version did appear to have an issue about seeing iPods?
With iTunes 11.1.5 installed, look in Edit/Preferences/Devices, (or use the ALT key, followed by the E key and then the F key) and make sure that the box named Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from syncing automatically does not have a tick in the box.
Once you have doen those two things, check to see if the iPod is seen by iTunes.

By the way, what does IOS mean? (I thought IO stood for operating system, but am flummoxed by the S on the end.
Really?
OS stands for Operating System. (In computer speak, IO means Input/Output.)
iOS originally stood for iPhone Operating System, but it now refers to the iPod Touch and iPhone. The iPod Classic, which you have listed in your profile as your iPod, does not use iOS.
I assume that you have been listening to the Podcast in your iTunes on the computer as you cannot transfer it to your iPod. It's what I'd do. -

My iPad will not allow me to update apps although I have no problem buying new ones. It says "cannot connect to iTunes" each time I try.
Same problem for me, too. It happens on my iPad, iPhone, and iMac. Weird because I have great Internet connectivity and I can log into and view my iTunes account. I've downloaded three new apps with no problem. But my iPad shows 14 apps needing updates, my iPhone shows 2, and my iMac shows 1. In all cases, clicking on "update" and entering the password results in the message, "Cannot connect to iTunes Store". It's the same result across multiple WiFi networks, even after resetting them.
I'll see if someone at the Genius Bar can help and then I will repost. -
Yesterday while attempting to perform a master reset on my iPhone 5, I was instructed to log onto iTunes, plug my phone in and "follow" the instructions. After connecting my phone to my Mac book pro (bought a year and a half ago), the laptop recognized my phone and immediately after that, the apple icon and spinning wheel appeared. Not realizing that it was not part of the download process, I waited a couple of hours to no avail. I was informed by the person working at the phone store that the update could take 'awhile'.....I have tried turning on and off several times, and the screen remains grey with the apple icon and spinning wheel. Just performed a safe boot using the shift - command - v key and the screen shows a long list of Bug: launchctl with a message at the bottom "socket is not connected". Any suggestions would be appreciated.
I would like to point out the fact that I mentioned my phone is iPhone 4, iOS 7.1.2
I don't care if it is a known defect in iOS 8, my phone is not iOS 8 and can not be updated past 7.1.2
Your solution will not work because I can't see the group message in the first place, deleting it would not be possible.
Also, I can not wait for the update on a phone that can no longer update. -
Laptop sees Photosmart on network, but won't connect
I have a Pavilion dv4 with Windows 7. I have a Photosmart C4795. My printer used to be hooked up to my desktop, but my HP Desktop has crashed and it's trash. So now I'm trying to hook my laptop up to my printer on the network. For two days, I was able to connect and download with no problems, but my laptop would never print. Wouldn't even do a test page. Uninstalled and reinstalled at least 10 times. I ran the scan doctor and it said there was nothing wrong with my printer, but it wouldn't print a test page either. It then had me do an internal test page and that one work, so it diagnosed that the software was bad.
All of that was yesterday. NOW TODAY, I uninstalled and reinstalled the software. It's the most up to date software and drivers from the HP Support page. Now, my printer recognizes that the printer is on the network, but won't install the printer. It did the diagnostics, then brought up the screen where it showed my computer on the left, modem in the middle, printer on the right. It gets about halfway through setting it up, then quits and says it can't complete. I ran the scan doctor again and it says that the full software version is not installed. I JUST downloaded it from the website and installed it twice and it won't work. The version I download from the website is around 146mb, but when I download it from the scan doctor page, it's over 200 mb. I run that software and it is exactly the same.
I have tried to set it up via usb. It gets to the 7th of the 8 steps, then it won't go any further. Again, the printer is detected, but it says the appropriate drivers aren't there.
I have tried to set up it's own port using it's USB and a different driver, but that gives me an error. Unable to install printer. Operation could not be completed (error 0x000003eb).)
Would someone please help me, and then if I reply with what it is doing next, please respond?
Please help me get through this. Two days now and I don't have a solution.
Just me, friebe13Hi,
If you are using AT&T wireless router to connect the Photosmart to network, you can refer this link for a solution :
