Can't access WiFi since updating to IOS 8.1.2

I just bought a brand new Ipad Air 2 and one of the 1st things I did was to update the IOS. Now I can't access the WiFi at work but I can't just ask the IT department 'excuse me - would you mind resetting the corporate wifi signal so my Ipad will work again!'
If your updates screw very expensive devices up, you should leave well enough ALONE!!
Do you have any suggestion as to how I can correct this problem or even to undo the upgrade?

You are not addressing Apple here. This is a user to user support forum, so your attitude is not necessary.
Did you activate this device from a backup of your old one? If so, the reset that JimHdk provided should work. It could be the corporate network is confused by a device with the same name but different Mac address.

  • Issues with wifi since updating to iOS 6 on iPad 3.

    I'm having wifi issues since updating to iOS 6 on my iPad 3. I can't access certain sites and get error messages such as 'servor can't connect' and 'request timed out.' Although some sites work fine. I can't access apps which require internet such as facebook, iMessenger, face time and games which need internet access. I can't use iTunes or App store and get the message 'can't connect to iTunes try again.' All these problems started after I updated to iOS 6. I found that the iPad works fine at another location on a different wifi but not at home. The home internet is not the issue as laptops, phones and iPad 1 and 2 all work fine on the internet here. I took my iPad to the apple store with no help and no useful advice so came back again and they offered me a hardware swap which I took. I now have the new iPad but the issue still remains. I have tried everything and I have done everything that has been suggested. Some things I have done are reset network settings, reset all settings, changed wifi dns, changed HTTP proxy to auto, closed all apps and re-opened, fully shut down the iPad, turned off the wifi router and restored the iPad several times. I have searched for help and advice and found that there are many complaints about iOS 6 on the iPad 3 when it comes to wifi. What else is there for me to do to fix this problem? I can't use internet or apps that require internet, basically my iPad is of no use at the moment. Do I have to wait for a new software update which will address this problem?

    Are you losing the connection to iTunes on the iPad or the computer? You are saying that iTunes is updated. Of course iTunes is updated when you update the iOS software. That's a no brainer.
    If you mean that iTunes is updated on the computer, that has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with downloading and updating apps on the iPad itself so changing the date on the iPad, signing in and out of the stores on the iPad .... Doing any of that on the iPad would have nothing to do with iTunes on your computer.
    If .... you have not been able to connect to the iTunes or app stores at all on the iPad - try this ...
    Settings>Privacy>Location Services>System Services (swipe to the bottom of the page to find this)>Location Based iAds>Off.
    If the downloads are stalled or "waiting" - try these suggestions.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
    If you can't connect at all - you can also try rebooting your router. Unplug it from power for about 30 seconds and then plug it in again.

  • HT5569 My iphone 4s can not find wifi after updating to iOS 7.0.4.

    I went to the Apple Store today and explained what is wrong with my phone, they didn't even bother checking it, they said I need a replacement for £150, as it's in Apple T&C's that they are not liable if a phone breaks because of an update. My phone was working perfectly fine before I updated with iOS 7.0.4, how can Apple now not take the responsibilty of fixing their mistakes. When will we receive a fix, I have tried every suggestion possible and still no wifi!! HELP..

    iPhone 4S: I have the same problem. After updating to iOS 7, wifi worked for some time, and then it stopped working. I can't even enable wifi. I just updated to iOS 7.0.2 and it didn't help at all.

  • I still cannot stream YouTube/Netflix/iPlayer etc. on my iPhone 4 via WiFi since updating to iOS 6.0.1....can anyone please solve this for me??

    I posted a couple of days ago about a problem my iPhone 4 was having trying to stream video via WiFi
    Basically, since I upgraded to iOS 6.0.1 I cannot stream YouTube videos via the app or via Safari, Netflix will not work nor will services such as BBC iPlayer.
    I've also discovered this evening I cannot stream any radio apps either.
    All of them will play for 10-30 seconds then stop buffering making them impossible to play.
    I was given several pieces of advice including restoring the phone to factory settings, restoring it as a new phone, hard resetting twice in a row, deleting all the cache/data in Safari but nothing that has been suggessted has solved the problem.
    I know it is not a problem with my internet/WiFi as I have a laptop and a PC both using it and streaming YouTube/raddio stations etc. with no problem. Also, my girlfriend has a 3GS with the old YouTube player and that works with no problems at all.
    Can anyone please help me out as it's getting a bit frustrating not being able to use the streaming function on my iPhone.
    One thing that is odd, I have no problem surfing the web on the phone via WiFi or streaming over 3G. It is only a problem when trying to stream video/audio over WiFi.
    Thanks.

  • Anyone still having issues with connecting to wifi since updating to IOS 6.1.1 (iPhone 4S)?

    It worked for about 5 mins every 40 mins up until 12 hours after updating the software. The wifi is greyed out (can't turn on or off) now, and I am becoming rather frustrated with this as I have been without internet for at least a week now, with my work relying heavily upon internet access. Any help would be great, I have done the hard reset, a normal shut-down, and I have restored my iPhone twice now and still no change. ANY help would be fantastic!

    I'm having the exact same problem! However, mine hasn't worked at all even after resetting network settings, restoring phone from back up and as a new iPhone, drained the battery and turned the phone on and off. I am really angry because apple released an update yesterday to fix bugs specifically on iPhone 4S and it has done nothing. My idea would be to book an appointment with your local apple store. I have one on Saturday and hopefully they will replace the phone as I am still under warranty. If you're not still under warranty I think it'll cost you some money, which ***** because its apples fault.

  • Can't access Video after updating to IOS 4.2.1

    I have just updated my iPod Touch 2nd gen and now every time I try and go on the Videos I just get a blank white screen, and it returns to the Home Screen.
    Does anyone else have this problem, or know how to get the Videos working?

    Update:
    - after they gave me a new iPod Touch 3rd gen on factory 3.1, I synced and everything worked fine as I stated above (with 5 movies, 15 TV shows and about 1000 music videos).
    - I upgraded to 4.2.1 and same thing happened, pressing music icon gives me white screen for roughly 10 seconds then back to home.
    - I can access videos through music icon however.
    - I then wiped everything and retored to factory on 4.2.1 and synced only Apps, movies, TVS shows... all worked well.
    - When I synced music videos, I did them about 200 at a time this time around. Each time upon completion going back and pressing music icon. As I added more videos the wait time on the white screen after pressing videos icon got noticeably longer, until I got up to about 700-800 music videos, then it would just white screen for 10 seconds and back to home.
    - I then started removing videos and the functionality came back, leading me to believe I have found a repeatable bug, which is what I will discuss with Apple shortly.
    For those of you having the same issue, how many music videos do you have? Through trial and error I have found it to be around the 600-800 mark the video icon stops working.
    Please try removing some of your music videos so you have about 200-400 and let me know if your functionality comes back.

  • Cannot connect to my WIFI network since updating to IOS 7.0

    Since updating to IOS 7.0, I have been unable to connect to my (or any) wifi network.
    I have tried every suggestion / help from the forums / web searching.
    I have tried different wifi connections (all the same - unable to connect to network).
    Waited for the 7.0.3 to see if this has fixed the problem, but no..
    I'm extremely frustrated and would like Apple to help.. I'm not the only person with this problem - and I haven't seen a single response from apple regarding this.
    Since I am now out of the 1 year warranty - I will be pursuing this through the 'sale of goods' act in the UK if I don't receive a satisfactory response - I expect my device to last longer than a couple of years and consider the ipad broken as a result of the update...
    Have been very happy with my apple devices up to this point, but loosing patience now!

    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

    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.
    You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

  • Has anyone encountered drastic shorter battery life both on iphone 5 and ipad since updating to iOS 6.1.2? How can this problem be solved?

    Dear all,
    I am new to this community even though I have been a Apple user for years, so please forgive me if this question is not in the right section.
    Has anyone encountered drastic shorter battery life both on iphone 5 and ipad since updating to iOS 6.1.2? I've always been happy with these two products until the update - now the battery life is considerably shorter which is extremely frustrating.
    How can this problem be solved? Is there any way to go back to the previous version?
    Thanks for your help.

    If you update using iTunes the phone is first wiped clean, then the new OS is installed, and finally the backup is restored. After this finishes if you sync your music should be restored. Music is not in the backup, because it is already on your computer and duplicating it would use up a lot of hard disk space.
    An OTA update just patches what has changed; it does not disturb content.

  • My gen 3 iPod Touch seems to have duplicated all my music since updating to IOS 5 so that it now only holds half as much. What can I do about it? I'm using the same iTunes library with OS 10.6 and all software up to date.

    Is the camera damaged? Could be a hardware problem.
    Try:
    Close the Camera app in the multitasking bar, then try again.
    Restart/Reset/Restore your iPod. In that order.

  • Since updating to IOS 8.1 on ipad mini can't download apps.  Apps show "waiting." Have reset to new condition with no improvement.  Any solution?

    Since updating to IOS 8.1 on ipad mini can't download apps from iTunes store.  Apps show "waiting." Have reset to new condition with no improvement.  Also turned off Wi-Fi and re-connected.   Any solution?  Thanks,

    If you restored your iPad as new, and it still didn't help, I don't know if anything in here will help. in any event, I have posted this boilerplate of suggestions many times in the past and the suggestions in here have worked for others at one time or another. Feel free to give them a try.
    1. Tap the "waiting" icon and see if you can pause it. If it does pause, then tap it again and see if it will resume. If that works, repeat the same steps for each "waiting" icon.
    2. Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    3. Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. If you see a downloads tab in the lower right corner, then there is a download in iTunes.
    4. If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
    Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Go back to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Sign in and then try to update again. Tap one waiting icon only if necessary to start the download stream.
    5. You can also try deleting the waiting icons - tap and hold down on an icon until it wiggles - the tap the X on the icon to delete it. Then try to download again. Apps may also be able to be deleted in Settings>General>Usage>Storage if you cannot get the X to pop up on the icon.
    6. You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered.
    7. Reset your router. Unplug it from power for about 30 seconds and then plug it back in again.
