Can't connect to WiFi even though I see my network....help...please!

I think one of my kids messed up my 1st generation iPad. I can see my networks including the router I use all the time however when I click on the network I want all I get is a list that looks like:
DHCP BootP Static
IP Address
Subnet Mask
Router
DNS
Search Domains
Clint ID
HTTP Proxy
Off Manual J Auto
There is nothing filled in in any of those colums which is not the case with our other iPad that has all those filled out (and is working fine).
I'm assuming one of these settings is wrong but the DGCP at the top and Off at the bottom are both highlighted in Blue as is the case with the working iPad.
My internet and my router both seem to be working fine, this appears to be specific to this iPad
Thoughts???
Thanks in advance....Dan

Look at iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
Additional things to try.
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.
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

My itouch isnt connecting to wifi even though my wifi has 3 bars

i've been having trouble with my itouch lately. its been unable to connect to wifi even though i have a strong signal of 3 bars and have been using the wifi for about a year now. but just recently anytime i try to join my wifi it says "unable to join "linksys"
please help

Here's the basic WiFi repair steps:
1. Reboot your router (unplug the power cord)
2. Reset the touch network settings - tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
3. When your touch restarts, tap Settings > WiFi > Other. Re-enter your network name, security, and network password.
If you still have problems and appear to be logged in, tap Settings > WiFi > and then the blue ">" next to your network name. You should have a device IP, Subnet mask, router IP, and DNS IP. If you device IP starts with 169.x.x.x then you have a bit more work to do. Write back.

Both parties must be connected to wifi to use FaceTime (and you must have FaceTime turned on in Settings>Facetime). If you're phone shows 3G at the top when it's on, you're not connect to wifi; you'll have to solve that problem first.

TS1559 Since upgrading my iPhone5 to the newest iOS (6.1.2) I can longer connect to WiFi. It sees the wireless network but will not connect.. Other devices in my home that weren't upgraded can connect just fine.

Since upgrading my iPhone5 to the newest iOS (6.1.2) I can longer connect to WiFi. It sees the wireless network but will not connect.. Other devices in my home that weren't upgraded can connect just fine.

I had the same problem. I did the reset networks on my iPhone & it did not work. My husband read somewhere that changing the channel on the router to manual & selecting the highest available channel number might help. I did that & it solved the problem. I have not had the problem since.

Forgot password.Tried to wipe by using Find my iPhone but won't connect to wifi even though it is turned on in the lock screen.Then tried to restore through iTunes but couldn't because Find my iPad on. Removed the iPad but iTunes still not working. Help!

My daughter stopped using her iPad when she got an iPhone for Christmas. It has been over one month and she has forgotten her passcode. I tried to wipe it via Find my iPhone but it won't connect to the wifi even though wifi is switched on on the lock screen. I then tried to restore it through iTunes but was unable to becuase Find my iPhine was switched on so I removed the iPad from the device list only to find that it didn't solve anything with the iTunes situation and it still won't connect to the wifi. I ahve tried turning wifi on and off, tried leaving the house and re-entering all to no avail. Is there any other way to restore the iPad????

FORCE IPAD INTO RECOVERY MODE
1. Turn off iPad
2. Turn on computer and launch iTune (make sure you have the latest version of iTune)
3. Plug USB cable into computer's USB port
4. Hold Home button down and plug the other end of cable into docking port. Do not release button until you see picture of iTune and plug (very important)
5. Release Home button.
ON COMPUTER
6. iTune has detected iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with iTune.
7. Select "Restore iPad"...
Note: Data will be lost

Can't connect to express even though signal is there

I set up a new airport express and even though my wireless devices and PC can see the signal, when I click to connect it doesn't work. I just see the spinning circle. What am I doing wrong?

Thank you for the solution to my problem. For the record, I am using a wireless router and there is no difficulty accessing the internet using an older Satellite model computer. I tried your suggestion of going into Windows Updates, turning off the automatic update feature (Selecting "never check..") and rebooting the system. After that, I was able to access my homepage (yahoo.com). However when I tried to do a Google search on "How to turn on Windows Defender" and was given pages to access, the screen shfited to "This page cant' be displayed" after I clicked on one of the Microsoft based websites. I was able to return to the yahoo page but whenever I tried doing the Google search or clicking on favorite websites, the screen immediately went to "This page can't be displayed." In addition, when I try accessing the internet and am unable to do so, I get the "This page can't be displayed" screen. Lastly, I didn't try your solution of "installing updates one-by-one until the network fails" as I'm not sure how to go about doing that. I don't have strong computer troubleshooting skills which is why I had to come onto this forum. Thank you for your patience in helping me resolve this computer mystery of why I can't access the internet. Kind Regards, Newtringo

Suddenly can't connect to internet even though it's still connected to the network. Why?

My ios 5.1.1 ipad 3 is less than 1 year old and has been connecting fine in my room. Then suddenly internet stopped working even though it's connected to the network. Tried restarting, forgetting, resetting. It worked for like 1 min randomly, then stopped working again. It only works if I move closer to router. Laptop and another Ipad both work fine. Just don't understand why my ipad stopped working suddenly when it was fine before.

Yes I do want my problem fix. Thank you for helping.
I was just wondering why it would be the router when my ipad connects if it's closer to the router and everything seems to be working fine too.

TS1368 iPhone can't connect to iTunes even though laptop recognizes iPhone is connected

All of a sudden, my iPhone 5 and iPad mini won't sync with iTunes. My windows 8 laptop recognizes they are connected when i go into My Computer but no syncing happens and no devices are shown in iTunes. Any help please?

Id follow this guys idea, check for updates in itunes. In order to use the iphone 4 now that it comes with ios 4.3 you have to have itunes 10.2. As for the person who resolved it by removing the battery, i think you posted in the wrong forum becasue that answer is completely useless for an iphone(cant remove the battery without taking phone apart, defiantely not a 20 second solution).

Can't connect to X11 window server using 'md2:0.0' asWell... Is there a X display server running? (on the hp-ux, if named md2)
As suggested, you may need to talk to a sys admin / unix guy or girl.

Can't connect to internet even though Network prefs show all green lights

I have 3 iMacs in our office with the same issue.
I can get them to connect to the internet using Airport but not Ethernet. When I connect the ethernet the computers network preference screen shows that a green light and that an ip address has been assigned via DHCP.
When the ethernet is connected I can connect to other computers on the network but cannot access any external sites.
Things I've tried:
-repair permissions
-making sure OS X firewall is off
-I tried to ping the router = got response
-Tried pinging other internal office IP address = got reponse
-Tried pinging external sites = no reponse
-I've tried restarting the router and the DSL modem and the computers, but nothing works.
Any ideas?

This is usually the other way round: users can connect with Ethernet but not with Airport, so my first reaction is to think about a hardware problem with the router. I would have thought DNS might be a problem (not excluded totally) but you are not able to ping to external sites, while you can ping the router and other devices on the LAN.
To help refining the problem, how about other (non-Mac) computers: do you have any there; and are they suffering the same problem? If so, the problem may be in the router and it may be an idea to try with another. If not, there is a problem with the settings on the Macs.
When did this problem start; and what changes did you make around that time?

My ipod touch isnt connect to wifi even though it used too. this just randomly happened out of no where.

my ipod is being mean and not connecting to my wifi. this just happened one day out of the blue. its so very irritating!

- Try a reset. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings. Yu will have to reenter network passwords.

Can't Connect to Host to download files....help please....

New user here, any help would be appreciated....
I'm doing my hosting through godaddy, just got dreamweaver and am loving it, but have run into a snag.
For the longest time, I was logging into godaddy and downloading any updates through the ftp each time. My friend said I could do that with a single click, but I'm having problems. When I try to connect to the remote host I get "An FTP error occured-cannot make connection to the host. The remote host cannot be found."
I've attached a pictur of my setting....what am I missing?

Hi
Looking at your screen shot you have typed in the ftp address wrong, you do not require the ftp://

Iphone won't connect to wifi due to incorrect password,even though it is correct! Help?

So my Iphone 4s has been having problems with the no service error now and again so I decided to reset the network settings to try and fix it. Now since this reset,my iphone refuses to connect to wifi even though the password I'm entering is 100% correct! I keep getting the 'Incorrect password error'.
I've resetted the router and reset the wifi network, rebooted my phone,performed a hard reset but there is still no fix
I have many other devices connected to my wifi without any problems. 3 computers, an ipad, android tablet and other iphone.
My phone is jailbroken on 6.1.2 so I don't want to have to restore my phone.
My phone will connect to wifi with wifiFoFum but as soon as my phone goes to sleep it disconnects so its rather annoying!
I hope you can help

Well are you absolutely certain you know your password. This is a risky troubleshooting step because it could kind of make the situation worse, you should try to forget the network on your computer and really make sure you can enter your password again on another device.
It might just be a capital letter or something that is tripping you up.
If you are having an actually wifi hardware issue it doesn't pop up with an error about an incorrect password. Theres other errrors for that. Incorrect password errors only pop up because there is an issue with the password
