How do I link iPad to a network?

Have a new iPad and I can't link to a network. When I try two "netowrks?" listed by name appear ... Lavigne and Donald .... which mean nothing to me. When others in my building go to settings several networks appear. What am I missing?

It's a new iPad, a gift, and I know nil about them. I'm in an apt. building in the core of the city and there are several wifi networks available and showed up in a search on a friends iPad in the building. When I turned the iPad on for the first time and went to settings and then to wifi two things turned up. A name -Douglas - and another name, I think, Lavigne. Have no idea what that means. But no other network appears. And I don't know what ssid is. My only experience is with iMacs. Like I said, the iPad was a gift that I neither asked for or wanted but, that said, I'd like to be able to use it.

how do i link iPad as a wireless keyboard on pc windows7?

As far as I know you don't. Certainly not to a PC. This would require Bluetooth connectivity, and while iPad has bluetooth, it is intended to connect bluetooth speakers, headphone and keyboards. There are certainly many bluetooth keyboards you can get for your iPad. I personally like the Zagg Bluetooth Keyboard for my iPad.

I currently have a D-Link DI-604 broadband router with windows computers. How can I add wifi to the network for use with ipad? Can I use AirPort Express?

I currently have a D-Link DI-604 broadband router with windows computers. How can I add wifi to the network for use with ipad? Can I use AirPort Express?

Yes. You can directly connect an 802.11n AirPort Express Base Station (AXn) using an Ethernet cable. The AXn would then just need to be configured as a bridge to allow the D-Link to continue to provide both NAT & DHCP services for all network clients connected to either router.
In this configuration, the AXn would broadcast a wireless network for your wireless network clients to connect to.

TS1398 just purchased a new iPad. it won't link to my WiFi network.   The network is fine, my Mac links to the network as does my PC. What to do?

just purchased a new iPad. it won't link to my WiFi network.   The network is fine, my Mac links to the network as does my PC. What to do?

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

I have just acquired an iMac desktop. I want to sign on to my airport wireless network, but cannot remember the password. How can I access the password or reset it. I already use a MacBook Pro and an iPad on the network.

I have just acquired an iMac desktop (about 4 years old). I want to connect to my Apple airport wireless network, but cannot remember the password. How can I access the password or, if necessary, reset it. I already use a MacBook Pro and an iPad on the network and don't want to jeopardize what already works well. I am not all that computer literate.

Read the user manual that came w/your Airport router or you can cross-post in one of the AirPort Forums for instructions.

How do I print from an iPad to a network attached printer on my home wifi network

I am trying to print documents (ie pdf) from my ipad to a printer that is attached to my network via ethernet cable. The printer is NOT an AirPrint type printer but I can print via wifi from my laptop to it without having to have my mac desktop turned on. Everything I have read about the apps in the app store all say I can print to any printer on my network "via a mac or PC". How do I print directly to the printer since the ipad and the printer are on the same network...

Thx for the suggestion, but it defeats the purpose by having to have my desktop computer running. I am looking for an app or hardware device that will allow me to print directly from my Ipad to my printers without having to turn on a computer to do it.
I have tried the Lantronix xprint server and while it works with my older Brother Laser it does not work with my newer Kodak ESP Office 6150 (and it doesn't look like they are even interested in attempting to write support for it into their printer list)
I have tried every app in the app store and none of them do the job WITHOUT having to have a computer running on the network.
Let me re-state the problem...
I want to print from either my Iphone 4 or my original version Ipad to my network attached printers without having to have a computer running on the network to do it. I have a Brother HL-5150D laser printer hooked to my apple airport extreme's usb port and a Kodak ESP Office 6150 connected to the network via WiFi. How can I do this.

How can i link my E-mail with my iPad in a way that i can delete my messages from my email inbox server not from my iPad inbox only?

How can i link my E-mail with my iPad in a way that i can delete my messages from my email inbox server also not from my iPad inbox only?
Because when i delete emails from my iPad inbox, it will be deleted on my iPad only but when i check my email inbox server from the browser its not deleted!
So how can i set up this link so when i delete any email from my iPad it will be deleted from my email inbox server also?

Hi Pierrot10,
Insert your backup disc (or plug your external hd), then open Mail.
In the File menu, click *Import Mailboxes* and follow the steps for a *Mail for Mac OS X* transfer.
Navigate to your CD/DVD's or external HD's backup and hit "OK".
This should create a new "Imported" folder in Mail with all your old messages in it, that you can then rearrange as you wish, creating new mailboxes etc.

Beginner advise needed on how to find link for app on ipad.

I am an absolute beginner with a recently purchased ipad 2. I have just purchased garageband from the app store but how do I open it? There is no link on my ipad anywhere but when i check settings it says that garageband is installed. Can someone please advise me on how to find link or am i missing somethng really obvious here, cheers.

Look for the Garage Band icon on one of your home screens. Tap on it in order to launch it. Swipe from one screen to the next (swipe to the left with your finger) if you do not see it on the first screen.
If you still can't find it - swipe to the right from your very first home screen and a search feature appears on the screen. Type Garage Band in the text field and search for the app.

+You may have already done this, but do you have the first AirPort Express configured to "Allow this network to be extended"?+
Could not find that setting anywhere.
It's in AirPort Utility, AirPort panel, Wireless tab.
When I'm within the range of the base station I connect normally, but further away the connection drops despite the fact that the other Airport is very close and light is green. Interestingly, my PB Pro has signal almost everywhere in the house, but my iPhone and Mac Mini don't. Most likely just a hardware difference?
In AirPort Utility with the second Express, in the AirPort panel, Wireless tab, have you checked "Allow wireless clients"?
The second AP does show an IP address: 10.0.1.3.
With a "Configure IPv4" setting of "Using DHCP", that suggests that the second Express really is connecting to the first Express. In that case I have no other explanation of your your problem.

How can I link my iPad Air and iPhone 4s via Bluetooth, please? They haveBluetooth turned on but will not find each other.

How can I link my iPad Air and iPhone 4s via Bluetooth, please? They both have Bluetooth turned on but will only search and find nothing. The words 'Now Discoverable' appear under the search panel.

for the devices to find each other via Bluetooth you would need to turn on the iPhones cellular hotspot and then let them search for each other. As far as I have found this Bluetooth connection is only for connecting the iPad to internet via iPhones data plan.
To transfer photos you could setup a new photo stream and put the photos you want transferred in it. When it syncs to the iPad you can save directly to the camera roll and delete the photo stream. You may also be able to delete the photos old photos and re-add them to photo stream so it looks like they are new to the iPad.
