Bought A new Ipad4. cannot connect it to home wifi.

It shows the home network but will not allow entry. Every other device has signed on easily. Anybody have idea on this

Also try restarting your WiFi router by removing power for 30 seconds.
If you need more help it would be useful to give the make, model and version of the WiFi router you are using.

Just bought my ipad and cant connect to my home wifi trying to do initial set up.
My wifi is working as my macbook runs off it..any ideas?

1. Turn router off for 30 seconds and on again, this will refresh the IP address of the iPad.
2. Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
3. Try changing router security e.g. WEP/WPA/WPA2
4. Have you updated router firmware?

IPAD MINI cannot connect to my home wifi being run on a win 8 desktop. It used to connect earlier.

My new IPad Mini was functioning on my home WiFi till a fortnight ago, when I had to go out of station. On return, I find that the IPad is not connecting.
My WiFi is through Win8 desktop. I have given Firewall exceptions to ITunes. The Pad keeps on searching and does not connect. Someone please help.

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

Cannot connect to our home wifi?

How come none of our apple products (2 iphones, 2 ipad 2s) can connect to our comcast wifi home network, but every other product can? The apple products just search and search for the network, but our laptops and our kids' androids find it in an instant. Is there something we are missing in network configuration?

You should select the right network and THEN it should say that it is protected and to enter the password. The term passcode is generally the password used to lock your iPhones, iPad, whatever. Passwords for wireless networks are called passwords.
Compare your iDevice settings against your other device settings and see if you see anything different. If that doesn't work, I would log onto your WiFi router and see if there are any limitations there. Generally, iPhones and iPads are the easiest things to get to work on a network This is tough to help sight unseen.

Cannot connect to my home wifi

Hi:
My ipod touch has been in storage for a couple of months while I moved from London to northwest Spain. I connected it to my Mac yesterday and iTunes did a pretty extensive update but since then I'm unable to connect to the internet / email. Let me explain that as best I can; the network shows on the iPod and requests my alpha-numeric password which it accepts and appears to be connected BUT no web pages will load and I cannot send or receive emails. My mac and laptop work fine, it's just my iPod touch that isn't playing fair! Today I tried it with a local, free wifi and it works fine but doesn't work with my network. I tried all the reset buttons even completely resetting it and losing lots of music unique to it, all to no avail. The router is not set up with individual passwords for my mac, laptop etc., so I'm not sure what to try next... Any ideas?

I am not familiar with your router but there are two things to look at - router firmware and encryption protocol used.
If the manufacturer has a website, you can visit the website and look for firmware upgrades. These are free and the installation instructions will be on the website. You should get the manual while you are at it.
To change the encryption from WEP or to get information about what hex code is present for Key 1, you will need to log into the router control panel. You will need to do this from a computer connected to that router on your network. Open a browser and type http://192.168.1.1 into the address bar (note: some routers may use 192.168.2.1). You should be greeted with a simple screen asking for User & Password. You will need that information to proceed or, if it has never been setup, Enter may get you in.
Thing you want to look for once you are in are:
SSID - this broadcasts your network name and should be left on. You can name your network anything you want.
MAC address filtering - make sure this is off
DHCP - on. This automatically assigns the IP number (and is why you are updating the firmware)
Encryption - on and set to WPA-psk or WPA2-psk. You will have to change your other computers if you switch to this. There are two advantages - far more secure than WEP and easier to implement as the password can be any length (8 characters will be nearly bullet proof). If you have to stay with WEP, copy down the hex number in the Key 1 field and use that in place of a password.
Keep us posted on how you are doing.

I cant connect to my home wifi

All of a sudden I cannot connect to my home wifi, nor home wifi at my daughters house. It finds the connection right away, but after putting in the password, I immediately get a message "unable to connect to ......" I have tried connecting to free wifis at public places and it connects fine. The password on mine has not been changed, nor has my daughters???

Try updating router firmware and reboot router.

I just bought a new Epson projector, connected it to my Mac with a USB cable but can't get anything to display. Any suggestions?

I just bought a new Epson projector, connected it to my Mac with a USB port and can't get any display. Any suggestions?

USB is not a Video Interface. to use it with this projector, you must have downloaded and be running:
Macintosh
USB Display v1.50
Mac OS X (v10.7 - v10.7.x), Mac OS X (v10.6), Mac OS X (v10.5)
epson14423.dmg - 2.9MB - posted on 10/24/11
This file contains the Epson USB Display v1.50. This software, along with a USB cable, allows you to display images from your computer to your projector.
Installation instructions:
Double-clicking this file creates a disk image on your desktop.
Open the disk image.
Double-click the installer icon to begin the installation.

I think it may be superior to get a VGA or HDMI adapter and use the display features built into your Macintosh.

TS1398 my new ipad works perfectly. the iphone 5, however, cannot connect to the same wifi, can barely get a 3G signal, and the power level is at 53% after being barely used for 1\2 a day. Is this a hardware problem?? My old 3Gs was fine until it died.

Greetings,
I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
Good Luck - Cheers,
M.

My new Ipad2 got connected to my home Wi-Fi and to the network and for 2 days everything was alright. Then I encounteed a problem. Though my Ipad2 was getting connected to Wi-Fi, could'nt access network. How to enable Data Roaming?.

My new Ipad2 got connected to my home wi-fi and to the network. For 2 days evrything qored well. Then though Ipad2 was connected to wi-fi, it did not open the web page/s. The dialogue box read, `Data Roaming is turned off. You can enable Data Roaming in the Network Section of General Settings' When I tried it, there is no item of Data Roaming displayed in the Network Section of General Settings. It shows only two settings. 1. VPN and 2. Wi-Fi. How to correct this issue? Help is needed to resolve this issue. I am from India and Apple do not have any local service providers.Pl. help me.

Sounds like the WiFi is connected, but cannot reach the Internet and is trying to use 3G, but you are in a roaming area so you get the dialog.
The first thing to try is turning the Wi-Fi off and back on again in Settings. Or simply turn the iPad off and back on again. If that doesn't work double-check that other devices are able to use the same WiFi network successfuly, or try the iPad on another WiFi network.

When you use the Airport utility what happens?
What is in the System Preferences control panel for Network settings?

Wi-Fi Setup Considerations
Things to consider before you begin
Start with a plan for the physical layout. Depending on whether you have an existing Wi-Fi network, or if you are using your AirPort Express as a standalone Wi-Fi device, there are several options available for you to choose from.
When using Ethernet, Cat6 cable is recommended.
The layout you choose should take into account environmental factors such as physical access, location, range, radio frequency interference, etc.
You will need to consider what AirPort Utility settings to adopt.
You will need to know whether you are using an AirPort Express (802.11b/g) or an AirPort Express (802.11a/b/g/n).
If you will be using more than one Wi-Fi base station, it may be helpful to read the article Extending the range of your wireless network by adding additional Wi-Fi base stations.

TS1702 My brand new iphone5 will not connect to my home wifi even though my ipad and old iphone do connect with no problem. What can I do?

My brand new iphone5 will not connect to my home wifi even though it recognizes it. My ipad and my old iphone4s connect with no problem. Any thoughts?

Although your other devices connect okay, it would be worth resetting your router by switching if off for disconnecting it from mains power for 2 minutes and then switch it on again.
Good luck and do report back.

I got a new iPhone 5s and I am unable to connect to my home wifi (through Comcast/Xfinity). I was able to with my 4s but not with my new 5s.

I got a new iPhone 5s and I am unable to connect to my home wifi (through Comcast/Xfinity) network. I was able to with my 4s with no problems but with my new 5s, I just get that a message that says "Unable to connect to network [network name]" Thoughts on how to connect to the wifi network? My laptop is connected and using the wifi just fine.

I see the following instruction:
Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Note: This will reset all network settings including:
However when I get there I am offered a screen which states "Enter Passcode", and have no clue as to what this should be given I never had to set this in the first place.
It expects 4 digit code, so any ideas?
