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.

  • IPad3 loses connection to home network and same happens to laptops.

    I purchased the new IPad a week ago. Since then, I often lose connection to home network. Cannot join network unless I power off and on the modem/router. This also hapens every morning. The same is now happening with our  wireless laptops.  Never had any problems all these years until the iPad was introduced to our network. Our Internet provider confirmed that modem/router protocols were set per advice from Apple Support and they did additional tweaking but problem persists. I am thinking of getting a new modem and router but wonder if it is worth it. Has anyone had similar problems where their other devices are having the same connection issues as the iPad? Thanks.

  • I can import some songs from another computer but not others.  All the songs were purchased with the same apple id. Message says "...check connection to network..." Any ideas as to what could be causing this problem?

    Using home share, I can import some songs from my son's  computer but not others.  All the songs were purchased with the same apple id.  Err msg:"There was a problem downloading ... You do not have enouggh access privileges for this operation. Please check that the connection to the network is active and try again."  The network appears to be fine .  I can import other songs from his library.  The same songs cause me a problem each time I try.  My husband had no trouble importing the same songs I have trouble with. I get the same error message if I try to import the same songs from my husbands computer as well.  "Command I" appears to show the same protections on both the songs I can import & the ones I cannot.  My husband and son are both running OS 10.6, while I am running 10.7.  I think I had this problem even before I upgraded, but I am not certain.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions..
    My first suggestion is to Repair Disk. Here's how:
    Insert Installer disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key.
    Go to Installer menu (Panther and earlier) or Utilities menu (Tiger) and launch Disk Utility.
    Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
    Select First Aid in the Main panel.
    (Check S.M.A.R.T Status of HDD at the bottom of right panel, and report)
    Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
    If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
    If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
    If DU reports errors it cannot repair you will need to use a utility like Tech Tool Pro or Disk Warrior
    Please post back and let me know how that goes.
    Here are a few links that may help you to identify the issues:

    Please don't hesitate to post back should you have further questions or comments, or with update.

  • I just purchased an Apple TV.  I have a pc running windows 7.  It is connected to a router and the router is connected to a wireless router.  I connect my iPhone, iPad and apple tv to wireless network but do not know how to put the pc on the wifi network

    I just purchased an Apple TV.  I have a pc running windows 7.  It is connected to a router and the router is connected to a wireless router.  I connect my iPhone, iPad and apple tv to wireless network but do not know how to put the pc on the wifi network so the Apple TV can do home share.

    I don't mean to be facetious but sometimes the simplest things are overlooked.  To connect to your library you have to have the computer where the iTunes library is located running and with iTunes open.  It also needs to be on the same network.  My network is dual band and works with either stream but a friend of mine does not.  He has to set the computer and the Apple TV to the same band.  Hope this helps.

    is there anything apple could do if i took it to one of their main shops???

    Sounds like a hardware failure.
    Make an appointment at the genius bar and take it in for them to look at. It will probably need to be replaced.

  • I bought a used ipod that I'm trying to set it up and it isn't letting me join my home wi-fi network. So I turn it on and I pick language, then country, then my wi-fi network. When I put in my password it says  -Unable to join the Network.  please help!!!

    Badunit you said "Continue setting up without the network. You can skip past it, right?"
    It sounds like he is setting up the iPod via wif. You can't continue. What yo can do is reset the iPod
    - Reset the iOS device.
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Then start the setup over again but this time connect the iPod to a computer and set up via iTunes. Then he can troubleshoot the connection proboem.

  • We are on holiday in Mexico. Our iPad has no problem connecting to the Internet through a subscription WiFi network. But, both of our laptops can not with the same password. What can we try?

    We are on holiday in Mexico. Our iPad2 has no problem connecting to the Internet through our hotel's subscription WiFi network. But, both of our macbookpros can not with the same password. What can we try?
    We can join the network, but can not access the Internet. The password is correct. We have tried network assistant and diagnostics, restarting the laptops, re-joining the network. Our iPhone 4s also works all the time.
    Same location. Signal strength is good.

    Since I couldn't figure out a way to edit our original post, here's another potential clue.
    Our laptops, when in System Preferences>Network, say "WiFi has the self-assigned IP address of XXXXXXXXX and will not be able to connect to the Internet".
    Strangely, my six year old MBP running OS 10.6.8 accessed the Internet straight away, just by opening Safari to my home page. My wife's six month old MBP running OS 10.7.2 could not.

    What is the make & model of your home Wi-Fi router that you are attempting to connect your G5 iMac to? Which exact model of iMac do you have?
    What wireless security type is your router using: WEP, WPA, or WPA2? If you temporarily disable wireless security, can the iMac connect to it now?

  • I have just updated to 10.7.3 and safari always reloads previous pages I have been on every time on open it, my home page is set to google yet it always reloads from the history, how do I stop this

    I have just updated to 10.7.3 and safari always reloads previous pages I have been on every time on open it, my home page is set to google yet it always reloads from the history, how do I stop this

    There is a setting in the System Preferences for this as well that may be causing it. Go to System Preferences>General>Restore windows when quitting and reopening apps - at the bottom of the window under Number of Recent items. Remove the checkmark from that setting.
    Also - if you close all of your windows when you are done with Safari - it should open to your home page.

  • Strange problem with how my iPhone (4S) sees a friend who recently moved his number from his old network and device to a new network and iPhone 3GS

    This is a weird one, so bear with me.
    My friend recently got an iPhone 3GS with a new SIM in it (3 network in the UK). I helped him set up the iPhone and got iMessage working between my mobile and his temporary number (07429...)
    In my Contacts I had two separate phone numbers for him: 07903... (his old number, on an old Sony Ericsson mobile with T-Mobile UK) and 07429... (the number that came with the 12-month contract I purchased for him; we called this his "temporary" number).
    His old number (07903...) was transfered over to his iPhone with no problems. His iPhone has worked flawlessly.
    But since that day I've had some really strange behaviour on my iPhone (a 4S, also on 3 UK): I removed his temporary number (07429...) from my contacts. But now when I try to text him at the old number (07903...) it bounces back at me as if the number doesn't exist. But if I try to text him at the temporary number (07429...) it works just fine and in my contacts and within Messages it appears as an iMessage-connect number.
    So I tried deleting everything and starting from scratch. Still the same behaviour.
    No one else is having this problem with him. I can call his old number (07903) just fine, I just can't text it.
    I'm guessing that there's something with the way Contacts works with iMessage that's caused the problem. It's as if my contacts have updated properly under-the-hood (iMessage *does* work just not with the right number).
    And yes, when I (or anyone) tries calling the temporary number (07429...) it's out of service. Which is correct. So it's not simply a case of *both* numbers being active.
    So this is very peculiar.
    In typing up this message it occured to me that I ought to try creating an all-new contact with some slight change in the name fields (e.g. include the middle initial) and see if I can get it to work properly. Then I ought to be able to change the name field (or just leave it alone, touch wood!).
    Thanks in advance for reading this far. It's difficult to explain this problem succintly!
    Cheers,
    Carey

    I've fixed my own problem.
    In the end, the issue was with iMessage on the other phone, not mine.
    While I had it connected to iTunes (the other phone, not mine), I could see that iTunes thought it was the temporary number (07429...). I turned iMessage off and back on again and the phone number in iTunes changed to the old (i.e correct) number (07903...).
    Subsequently, texts from my phone to the other phone showed up as blue-bubbled iMessages.
    Hope this helps someone!
    Thanks for reading, if you did.
