Another miserable iPad owner with painfully slow wifi (if at all...)

The entire point of buying the iPad was its portability. But if it can't connect to the internet, or connects at painfully slow speeds, what's the point? I've read every 'fix' but found nothing to solve the problem. Going to return the thing.

Reset it by going to settings, general, scroll to the bottom, touch reset and your iPad should restart and be faster. The only things that will be gone are your passcode, your background, and your Wi-Fi. Thanks please like.

  • Time capsule painfully slow wifi

    New time capsule , painfully slow wifi , cisco works lightning fast so the issue is with the TC. Looked at forums and I see it's a common isssue. Any ideas that actually work?

    Download the free  iStumbler  app to examine the strength of your connection.
    If it's not good, look for interference with another wireless device, cordless phone, microwave oven, etc.  Turn them off temporarily;  if you find an offender, move it farther away.  See  AirPort and Bluetooth: Potential sources of wireless interference  for more.
    Try different WIFI channels.

  • I am unable to configure my ipad 2 with my existing wifi of linksys though I have entered the all ip address as per my laptop but still I am not getting thru network kindly suggest the solution

    The ip-adress cannot be the same as your laptop. You have to make sure that your ip-adress is unique in the network. if your ip is 192.168.1.100 try 192.168.1.112 or somthing. More advanced is to check avalible adress in your router.

  • My Ipad connects with my hotel wifi, but does not indicate that it is a secure wifi, even though it requires a password to access - no lock symbol, hence no password request, hence no internet access - help.

    My IPad connects with my hotel wifi, but does not indicate that it is a secure wifi, even though it requires a password to access - no lock symbol appears against the wifi network, hence no password request, hence no internet access - help. My collegue who also has an Ipad can access the same wifi with ease, so it must be something to do with the settings on my machine, although checking the two machines, there appears to be no difference in the settings.

    My experience with hotel wifi is that it's an open, and unsecured, connection, but unless you agree to their terms on a launch page, you can't go any further or connect. Sometimes I need to force safari to come up and even make it go to a page, to trigger the auto load of the 'agree to our terms' page.
    Unless your machine is work provided so maybe could be blocked from unsecured net access?

  • Why are most of the apps (anything that has to search) on my iphone4 and ipad (1) running very slow (or not at all) since iOS5 update...esp google. Search seems to go quickly, but then when I try to open a link..nothing. I have turned off icloud.

    I am having the same problem. Did turning off iCloud work? Did you just turn everything off or did you actually delete the account off your iPod?

  • Just upgraded to OS X Lion.  Now Safari behaves erratically.  Some sights load at lightning speeds, other load painfully slow or not at all.  Any ideas here?

    I would recommend running Disk Utility (Applications - Utilities - Disk Utility) and Repairing Disk Permissions. Please run this at least 2x. It that doesn't help then post back, there are many other things to try.

  • My ipad mim with retina display isnt responding at all and it's only 2 days old, what do I do?

    My ipad mim with retina display isnt responding at all and it's only 2 days old, what do I do?

    It's not turning on at all, it turned off and won't respond to any buttons. I've tried to charge and all it does it turn on to the apple screen than turn back off, and does this the whole time while on the charger. I tried recoverying it through itunes also, and that didn't work either.

  • IPad interfering with other devices wifi

    Is there any fix to this problem?
    I have a 64gb wifi only iPad.
    When it's wifi is turned on, my 3DS and blackberry cannot connect to the wifi network.
    When I turn my iPads wifi off, they can.
    Various other devices seem unaffected (iPhone, iPod, MacBook, pc, ps3, wii.)
    Just the blackberry and 3DS

    With no details on what networking equipment you have (make, model, and version) or how your network is configured it is difficult to comment on what is causing this problem.

  • After Mavericks, applications tend to become slow, painfully slow. Particularly iMovie; all other applications, Mail, Browser (Chrome) and others too are either running slow or 'not responding'. Help, please

    After upgrading to Mavericks, from Mountai Lion, all applications are slowing down. iMovie particularly is painfully slow. When iM is running, any other application that is opened up also runs slow or does not respond altogether. It was fine before Mavericks, can somebody help, please.
    Thank you.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches. 
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and  Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • For all iPad owners with video freezing concerns- read this first!

    First of all, take a deep breath, acknowledge that it is not your fault, and there is nothing you can do with the software to fix it. It is a hardware problem, most likely video chip related, that is ONLY solved with replacement. I have had several discussions with senior tech support who won't say exactly what the cause is, but admit that there is nothing a user can do to fix the problem other than replacement. Which they will happily provide. This is where it gets tricky.
    If you are like me, you can't live a day without your iPad, even though you also have a smart phone, a net book and a laptop....if I can admit it, so can you. So if your local store has a brown box replacement for your model, go in and get it replaced, and you are done. Most of the time, this will fix the issue because they test these ones first. If you are like me and your store does not have a replacement for your wifi only model, then you have to either drop yours off and wait for a replacement to be shipped in 4-5 business days, or purchase apple care where they will hot swap a new iPad with you with overnight to your doorstep. This is the way to go and here is why: you can't be without your iPad and you won't be. AppleCare is $100 that is fully refundable at a pro rated time period. So you have it for 1 week and then cancel it. Cost of use? Should be about $2. And the experience is seamless. This is just my opinion, but it worked for me!

    taffytafftaf,
    Agreed; The problem might very well be a hardware one. After all, these symptoms are very weird. It's undoubtedly a great phone. The main reason I bought it was to have the first decent looking WCDMA phone out there (that works in Europe) and I still quite like it.
    To tell you the truth though, I was going to replace it with a 8GB N91, until I tried one yesterday. It's way too bulky, actually the dimensions seem weird - nothing like my old 8850. The HDD explains everything, but I really don't need another DAP or a pocket drive, so it won't quite do.
    I'll take your advice and take the 6630 to my nearest NSC. Hopefully they'll be able to revive it. If not, I'll replace it with something very small.
    "Good luck"
    Thanks, I'll need it!
    mbamg,
    I think it's a case of "what goes around, comes around". You've obviously taken good care of your phone, whereas I haven't. I definitely should've taken it to a NSC to be updated. These problems, as mentioned above, might also have something to do with the hardware, as the phone has taken some unintended abuse during the years. We'll just have to wait and see.
    The original RS-MMC card was in the phone when it was updated. After that the phone claimed it was faulty. Other cards don't seem to work either. Unfortunately formatting them didn't help.
    I still partially blame the NSU, since these problems didn't surface until the software was supposedly "successfully updated". My 6630 is a bad combo of possibly damaged hardware and new firmware.
    Thanks once again for your input guys, I really appreciate it!

  • New iPad Owner with Question About OS Upgrade

    I just purchased a new iPad and I am under the impression that I'll be able to upgrade to OS4 when it's released for the iPad this fall. If I take the 3.2.1 upgrade that just came out, will that eliminate my ability to upgrade to OS4 for free when it's released?

    What has been added/fixed from the original version 3.2?
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1060
    Does anyone know if it's worth upgrading?
    It was for me on my 3G iPad, where the update did indeed improve the connectivity of the WiFi. Your results may vary. If your iPad isn't having any issues, there is probably no pressing need to upgrade.
    I'm hearing some people are having trouble upgrading.
    No matter what device, it's always the case that some people have problems with an upgrade. For the iPad, though, the vast majority have had no problems. I upgraded both of my iPads with no issues whatsoever.
    Regards.

  • Mid-2011 Macbook Air with very slow wifi yet with OSX 10.9.1

    Yes, I am opening yet another topic on this pretty old issue because I am too confused with all that I have read so far (as also have not found a recent case similar to mine).
    I have a mid-2011 Macbook Air i5 13'.
    My home wireless network works just fine and smooth with a Macbook Pro Core 2 Duo and a humble Acer Aspire One D270 netbook.
    With my Macbook Air, connection is useless. If I want to search something on Google, I'd better off buying myself an air ticket and visiting their HQs to ask them personally to do the search.
    I have tried some "workarounds" with no success. Sometimes the internet seems to get a bit better (I said *a bit*), but nothing even slightly near what I get with my other two computers.
    Where should I begin from?

    Please take all the following steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved. Back up all data before making any changes.
    Step 1
    Take the applicable steps in this support article. The Wireless Diagnostics program generates a large file of information about your system, which would be used by Apple Engineering in case of a support incident. Don't post the contents here.
    Step 2
    Run Software Update and install all available updates for OS X or your computer's firmware.
    Step 3
    If you're not using a wireless keyboard or trackpad, disable Bluetooth by selecting Turn Bluetooth Off from the menu with the Bluetooth icon. If you don't have that menu, open the Bluetooth preference pane in System Preferences and check the box marked Show Bluetooth in menu bar. Test. Continue if you find that Wi-Fi is faster with Bluetooth disabled.
    From that same menu, select Open Bluetooth Preferences. If the box labeled Discoverable is checked, uncheck it. Click the Advanced button, and in the sheet that opens, uncheck the top three boxes, if any are checked. Click OK. Enable Bluetooth and test again.
    If the application called "Bluetooth Setup Assistant" is running, quit it (not applicable to OS X 10.9 or later.)
    Step 4
    Open the Network pane in System Preferences and make a note of your settings in the Wi-Fi service. It may be helpful to take screenshots of the various tabs in the preference pane. If the preference pane is locked, unlock it by clicking the padlock icon and entering your administrator password. Delete Wi-Fi from the service list on the left by selecting it and clicking the minus-sign button at the bottom. Then recreate the service by clicking the plus-sign button and following the prompts.
    Step 5
    Reset the System Management Controller.
    Step 6
    Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service center.

  • Is my ipad mini with retina display wifi only capable of using 4g wifi?

    I recently changed my 3g sim card to 4g sim card that is placed on my router but can i download with speeds of 4g or 3g?

    The standards for WiFi are the 802.11b, g, n, and ac (new with Apple Airports).
    Here are the standards ...
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEEE_802.11
    Apple Airports can do the 802.11ac at 1.3 Gbps ...

  • If I buy a iPad online with cellular and wifi can I use it outside the United States both cellular and wifi?

    If buy a iPad online do the cellular plan come lock to a single provider, or can be use with any provider?
    If I buy on the USA store can I use it outside the USA? 

    Read https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_iOS_devices  it lists available models of ipad and under connectivity it mentions what features each has.  Make sure that what you choose is compatible for use in US and whatever other country you want
