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 the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
On your iPad go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings and see if that enables you to connect.

I have a modem, and a separate (hard wired from modem) router in a part of my house that gets poor reception from the modem.My iPad won't connect to the auxillary router like my laptop does with ease. How do I get the iPad to connect? It does see the router in my wi-fi connections list - just won't connect. !

How do I get the second HD to be a shared network drive??

PowerPC G5 / dual 2Ghz - used as our file server.
running OS X Server - v.10.3.9
Have one internal HD - 160GB partitioned into two drives (General Access & Archive) in the Public folder of this computer
Appears as Network: Local / G5 Server. When you click the connect button you get a choice of which volume to mount/connect to (ie. General Access; Archive or both)
Running out of space on the drive so I purchased a second 160GB HD. Installed it, formatted it (with DiskUtility), named it, and copied all files from Archive (partition)
The thought is to make this new 160GB drive Archive and to remove the partition from the original 160GB HD and have that be just General Access.
How do I get the second HD to be a shared network drive??
Also can I remove the partition to the first without having to clone it and reformat?

Roam & Ali B,
Thanks!!
Next dumb question(s).
We have a laCie FW external HD that I was using as a back-up drive (temporarily)
I do have some files on it that I have to bring back onto the server to use. I get a admin user&passsword prompt every time I have to copy something back. It usually copies over a locked file that can only be deleted from the Server terminal.
1. Why isn't this working without the admin prompt? I used DiskUtil to format it before I could use it.
2. How exactly do I "clone" the current content - its not a simple 'Select All' and drag&drop? Is it going to bring over the partition as well??
3. Once I have everything on the FW HD, re-boot using it as the System, and re-format the original 160GB HD - will I run into #1.

How do I get the Photo icon back to my home screen?

How do I get the Photo icon back to my home screen? I don't know how I managed this - but my lovely 'happy' photo icon is gone from my home screen and I can only access it through the double click - I would like it back on the home screen...any ideas???

You looked on every page & in every folder(if you have folders)? Still don't see it? If so: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Home Screen Layout...see if you see it now.

Can't get the Express to connect to the internet.

So for whatever reason, my express, which was working fine for a long time, jsut stopped working today. I had to do a hard restart (pushing the restart button then plugging the unit in till the light flashed green) and I ran Airport Utility to reset the settings. I've tried both ethernet and PPPoe with the password and account name, but to no avail. I have DSL and a DSL modem which connects to the the Airport Express. Also, after resetting the settings in Airport Utility and getting the message that all is well, the light on the Express still flashes yellow. What does that mean? I know it should be green, shouldn't it? FYI I have restarted the computer and the modem many times and tried every combo I can think of. Any one got any bright ideas?

How do I make sure that the computer isn't trying to connect with a PPPoE?
On your computer that has the PPPoE connection on board,
Open System Preferences (gear icon) on the dock
Open Network
Look for a connection on the left associated with PPPoE. If it's present, make sure that the light is yellow and the status is "Not Connected".
It would be better if you deleted the connection by highlighting the connection and clicking the - (minus) button at the bottom of the connection list. You can always set up a new PPPoE connection in the future if you need to connect the modem directly to the computer.
Do the same for any other computers that may have the PPPoE connection setup software installed. You only want the PPPoE credentials on the AirPort Express.
If you don't see the PPPoE connection in Network, then another application has probably been installed on your computer with this information. Look under Applications to see if you can find a listing with the name of your service, etc.

I lost the dial up connection dialog box. I unchecked a check item in the dial connetion box. How do I get the dial up connection back?

I established a dial up connection by updating to automatic the remote managers and telephony in administrative tool services area on my XP system according to firefox help instructions.
At first I had a dial up connection but I unchecked an item in the
dial up connection box. I am not sure what I unchecked or toggled
off. I then lost the dial up connection. I need to get the dial connection dialog box back. What needs to be done
Thank you.

I see no direct connection.. a printer and the computer setup for internet are not related.
But it sounds like the router in the wife's office is now in the wrong mode..
If you have an existing main router replace the second router for a switch .. that is the easy way.
Otherwise you need to bridge the router if it has that option.. most do not. Or use wan bypass.. where you turn off the dhcp server in the router and fix its ip to match the range of the main router.. this is the hassle of using router as a switch.
BUT I am making a huge number of assumptions.
What I need is the full network layout.. a quick picture would help.
I need main modem.. main router.. (maybe same box or different).. make model and current IP address and how dhcp is setup.
I need secondary router.. if that is what it is, IP and settings.
I want the printer type and model. How it is connected.
BTW I much prefer to see a network printer plugged into the network rather than usb.. it is only a matter of sorting the IP settings and driver pointing to the network rather than local.
Or you should think of it as a broken washing machine and call the technician.. who could fix the whole lot in an hour.

How can I get the hot spot connection to say working on my phone?

I cannot get my hot spot connection to stay working.

There are phone companies that do only allow tethering with more expensive rates. Would have to talk with your company to see if your phone can rate tethering.

How do i get the data that is in Firefox Home, back onto my PC?

Hi there,
I recently installed Firefox Sync/Home and I sucessfully synced my tabs/history etc onto my iPhone (still there now).
I formatted my machine, and put on:
* Windows 7
* Firefox 3.6.8
* Firefox Sync Add-on
I hit "Sync" but none of my data is coming back, so my question is, how do I retrieve the data from Firefox Home, onto this new machine?
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks in advance

How do I get my library to share across a home network?

I was at college, and I could connect to several other people's iTunes libraries, and they could connect to mine. Now that I am back at home, I wanted to be able to access my library on other computers (both Macs and PCs) throughout my house...but it gives me an error (-3529) telling me to check the communication on port 3689. How can I get that working?

Okay. It would be best to first check to see if you've got that port open. See:
iTunes for Windows: Music Sharing with Windows Internet Connection Firewall

Connecting to existing home network via Airport Express

I had my Macbook Pro connected to our home router which allowed me access to our home network and the internet. On this network we had connected both my MBP and my flatmates PC (which is connected directly to the router via network cable).
Through this configuration i was able to both access the internet AND access files on the PC. I have recently purchased and airport express to eliminate the need for the network cord. Since setting up the AE i have been able to connect to the internet no problem by creating a wireless network and using all the automatic settings, however in the process i have lost my ability to connect to the home network and my flatmates computer. In fact, under "networks" in finder the home network has disappeared. Also in network prefences i am getting a warning saying "The cable for Ethernet is not plugged in".
Is anyone able to tell me what im doing wrong?
thanks ....

The problem is that the AirPort Express (AX) is creating a subnet.
To prevent that, configure the AX to act as a bridge (so that it is NOT sharing a single IP address).

Having trouble connecting to existing home network

I have US Robotics Wireless Turbo Access Point & Router. We have a mixture of PCs and Macs that connect without problems. Router is set Mac Filter Disabled and Wep disabled.
I have a new imac 17inch with Airport Extreme.Using Network Diagnostics the network name is found but then says it needs a network password. Box asking for Wireless Security - Wep Password.
We have older imac, ibook, a new powerbook all connecting without any problems.
Help appreciated as I am a convert from pc and excited to get on.
It may be relevant that during set up when it failed to connect to our network by name, I clicked on 'wireless'. It obviously found a connection of sorts and set up. I was puzzled why access was so slow. I assumed it was connected to out own network. Thank you.
Imac 17inch Mac OS X (10.4.7) Using US Robotics Wireless Turbo Access Point & Router

Hi Duane. Thank you for responding so quickly. On Wednesday I bought a Mac Mini from our new Apple Store here in UK. It was dead-on-arrival. Took it back and decided to go for the imac to avoid any further frustration and go completely mac.
It is definitely looking at my network. If I turn the router off it disappears from the drop down menu at top of screen. It reappears when I plug the router back on. So it is recognising that the network exists. When I try through System Preferences, Network, it lists my network - when clicked there is no signal level.
I get 'There wan error joining the AirPort network etc'.
When I try through Assistance I get message 'Enter AirPort information .........stating my network requires password etc.
I am logged onto my router via my pc and WEP is definitely disabled. I am thinking I have another faulty machine.

I am unable to connect my PC to my Mac using the Migration Assistant. The two computers do not seem to connect and I am not sure on how to do so. I'm using an Ethernet cable and neither computer recognizes the other. How can I get the two to connect?

The PC keeps saying "Waiting for your Mac to Connect" and the Mac keeps saying "Looking for Computer" I have no clue what to do.

I suspect you didn't follow the Migration Assistant instructions. Please carefully look over:

If you still cannot get it give AppleCare a call, the number is in your owner's manual. You have 90 days of free telephone support when you purchase a new Mac. They can assist on the OS X side but remember they may not speak MS Windows.

My mac is connected to the wireless network, but I still have not internet connection. How do I get the computer to connect

Everytime I move, I have to reset the TCP/IP settings. I am haveing touble getting a router number that area. Can you help?

It might help to reset the connection settings on your Mac using these steps one at a time until the problem is resolved, recognizing that, depending on your problem, not all of these steps will make sense:
1) Use the AirPort/Wi-Fi menu bar item to turn AirPort/Wi-Fi off, then on again.
2) Try to select your Wi-Fi network from the AirPort/Wi-Fi menu.
3) In the Network panel of System Preferences delete the AirPort/Wi-Fi item from the left column, then add it back.
4) In the same panel as (3), define a new location and see if you can make that work.
5) In the same panel, select the AirPort/Wi-Fi connection item, click the "Advanced" button, select the "TCP/IP" tab, then click "Renew DHCP Lease". Note that the fix this step implements may be temporary.
6) In the folder /Library/Preferences ( _not_ <yourhomefolder>/Library/Preferences), move the folder SystemConfiguration onto the Desktop, then restart your computer. See if you can now make your AirPort connection work.
These steps may not help, but they'll only take a couple of minutes to try. Before you try these, if you have any special network settings on your Mac for things like DSL credentials, note all your network settings, because the latter steps will destroy them. If you got all the way to the last step, if things don't work any worse than before, you can trash the saved SystemConfiguration folder.
