Have wifi on lap top at home, new ipad not connecting
My home laptop is connected to internet wi fi at home. Why can I not connect my new ipad to internet too? I am asked for the password which I give, but it is not accepted. . Help please.
Try this - Turn Off your iPad. Then turn the router unit & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.

TS3274 NEW ipad "Not connected to Internet" ? How do I resolve
New ipad was connected , I think correctly but now when ipad is on it states internet not connected How do I eithe connect to wifi - or be able to contact support without connection? AND some apps ie. Reminder and calendar appear to be in French all others in English
I do not understand about having to pay for internet. The iPod has no native internet. To connect to the internet it needs a wifi hotspot/router. Are you trying to connect to a wifi hotspot that chargers money and requires a credit card? If so then you need to talk to the providers. If that is not it then provide more information.

New iPad not connecting to wifi
Just brought a new iPad and done the usual setup as I have had iPhones for the last 4 years and I am constantly getting wifi issues such as it not accepting passwords to my home wifi which is setup fine as I have my iPhone 4 connected to it and it works flawlessly now this iPad is a total different case.
I have tried forgetting the network
Reset network setting
Restart iPad
Changed router password
Changer router frequency etc
Change Router name
The only time I can connect to my wifi network is when I am sitting on top of it with my iPad which defeats the object of of WIRELESS.
This is meant to be the latest thing from apple it is a joke
This needs resolving or it will be getting returned

Additional things to try.
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.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
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
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

I need help. I had an apple account on my old Lap Top to which my iPad and iPhone were synced ? I recently changed my lap top. My problem is the new lap top won't accept my apple I D it asked me to sing up for a new one which I did. After doing this I tried to sync my iPad and phone to the new lap top which I was unable to do as they didn't recognise my new ID. HELP!!!!!!

I am puzzled by this. The laptop doesn't need the Apple ID - but iTunes does. I could be missing something but ....
Why would you not be able to use your existing Apple ID and iTunes account on a new laptop? If you authorized the computer - you should be able to use your existing account - unless you already had 5 computers authorized with the existing ID - and that was why iTunes would not accept the ID. However, I'm sure that you would have received a popup message from iTunes telling you that you had reached the limit.
I just received a new MBP and my daughter did as well. My entire family shares an Apple ID and we had no issues at all with my Apple ID and iTunes on our new computers and I did not have to sign up for a new account. Did you even try the old ID? -
Help. I am on holiday and have had my lap top stolen. I need to save my photos on Gallery and my @me address. Any advice?
Change your Apple ID from your iPad or someone else's computer right away for one thing.

I have a toshiba lap top computer with vista and I can not get my new iphone to connect all the way .... it says "connected with limited activity". which means I don't get on. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
Hi all,
Guess I understand what is going on as I'm also experiencing the problem.
Basically the issue is about the iPhone 4's personal hotspot.
I'm trying to hook on personal hotspot to my toshiba laptop but it couldnt work as the connection is limited to local only without Internet access.
The hotspot works well on other laptop and I-devices, but not my toshiba...
Hope to get assistance here. Thanks -
Can I use the same plan that I have for my iphone 4s with my new ipad? or do I have to buy a new data plan for my new ipad? I would love to use my new ipad away from home but not sure how to use it? I am on Telus mobility with my iphone 4s.
See the answer on the same question you asked a few minutes ago.

Your only option is to sell the iPad and then buy the new one.

Hi, I own a I phone 4, a ipad 1 and just purchased a ipad 3, I have 15g worth of icould data but my photostream doesn't stream all of my photos to my new ipad when connected to wifi???? It appears to be streaming photos from the last 10 or so days but no more? I have enough storage on my new ipad??
Photo Stream does not count towards your iCloud storage plan.
Your iOS devices keep a rolling collection of your last 1000 Photos in the Photo Stream album. Only photos taken within the last thirty days and since Photo Stream was activated will be synced. -

iTunes won't recognize a computer as a device in iTunes.
Are you running iTunes on the iMac?
Have you copied over all your data from old computer to the iMac? -
I can't connect to the router in my home. The Ipad seeks the network but nothing happens. I went to school and connected to their WiFi network as usual with no problems. When I returned home I could not connect to my home router. The Ipad seeks the router number but nothing happens. I rebooted the Ipad a few times in the school. The numbers identifying the router, etc. on my Ipad no longer appear there.
TThe Ipad guide says to connect to the WiFi use setup but I can't find the setup program in the Ipad.
I reset the network settings to the factory defaults but this doesn't fix the problem.
What can I do to reconnect to my home router?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

A way to have the new ipad automatically connect to Wi-Fi or AT&T?
Is there a way to have the new ipad automatically connect to Wi-Fi or AT&T depending on what is available? For instance, I have the new ipad connected to the wi-fi in my office. While driving to work I connect using the AT&T network. When I walk into my office it does not automatically switch over to wi-fi. I have to physically go into settings and turn cellular off so that it doesn't use my AT&T data while I'm in a location that can use wi-fi. I am curious because my phone (not iphone) is connected to my wi-fi also and it automatically connects when I walk into my office so all my calls are free and then when the wi-fi signal is not in range is automatically goes back to the cellular network so I don't ever lose coverage. Can I set up the ipad to do that?
That is how your ipad is designed to work.
Maybe try resetting network settings. If all else fails you can do a back up and restore as new to be certain there is no issue with your software. -
I have follow all the settings for the home sharing but when I turn on the TV & go to computer then movies it still saying that the home sharing is not connected.
