My iPad 2 used to connect to my wifi and now will not at all. Prior to it becoming completely nonfunctional I could get it to connect by restarting it. Then that didn't work anymore so I went into general settings reset all network settings.

Prior to it becoming completely nonfunctional I could just restart it and it would connect properly to the wifi. Then that work around stopped working. Then I went into general settings and reset all network settings and that worked for a while. When that stopped working I let the battery drain completely and then after a full charge it worked again for a while. Now nothing. What should I try next that will hopefully fix this issue more permanently?

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

My ipad2 will not connect to my wifi and now i have a download that will not close or allow me to use other apps or shut the ipad off what can I do?

I bought the ipad 2 about a month ago now and have tried to connect my wifi and it says I cannot join my wifi. Now I have two pop ups for downloads that will not allow me to open apps or shut the ipad off. What should I do?

Hi,
For all people struggling with connecting their iPad to their router, constantly getting 'Incorrect Password' even though you have entered the correct one - this may be your solution as it just resolved my issue.
In your router settings online (usually found at 198.168.1.1) change your security from WPA2 or WEP to WPA. For my iPad it for some reason only accepts WPA but now it is running without problems. Let me know if this helps.
Cheers.

HT1695 I am connected to my wifi and have turned my data roaming off but my phone is still not connecting to the internet. Why is this?

Am struggling to get online through my i-phone at home. It is fine at work where I have signal (but I go through the work wifi anyway), whereas at home I cannot get online at all, despite having strong wifi signal and disabling my data roaming on the phone. I am not very good with technology! Can anyone work out what I'm doing wrong please?

If the modem is also a router, either use the modem in bridge and run pppoe client on the TC.. that is assuming ADSL or similar eg vdsl. If it is cable service.. and the modem is a router, then bridge the TC.. go to internet page and select connect by ethernet and below that set connection sharing to bridge.
Please tell us more about the modem if the above gives you issues.

I can't open my iPad because I forgot my pass and now it's been disabled for about two weeks. How can I open it?

I've been busy with school, thus making me have no time at all to use my iPad. Being the forgetful me, I can't remember my password. I tried entering some of the passwords I used but none of them worked. I forgot the recent password I've been using in my iPad. Now it's been disabled for more than two weeks. I want to use it so badly that I have to reboot it numerous times. What should I do?

FORCE IPAD INTO RECOVERY MODE
1. Turn off iPad
2. Turn on computer and launch iTunes (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 iTunes and plug
5. Release Home button.
ON COMPUTER
6. iTunes has detected iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with iTunes.
7. Select "Restore iPad"...
Note:
1. Data will be lost if you do not have backup
2. You must follow step 1 to step 4 VERY CLOSELY.

HT1430 i have a pc and when i hook up my ipod or iphone it no longer takes me to itunes, ANy ideas?

i had an iphone 4 and just got an iphone 5c. last week before i upgraded, my ipod and iphone stopped connecting directly to itunes. how do i reset my pc for this to work

WIndows is asking you to reformat the iPod's hard disk because it's probably in the Mac OS X Extended Journaled file system format which the Windows OS can neither read or write to. Reformatting will erase all content from the device and rebuild the filesystem as FAT32 unless you specify it as NTFS (which you shouldn't do).
If you want to be able to use your iPod to copy music from your Mac to your PC, you'll need to either pre-format it as FAT32 using Disk Utility on your Mac and then copy everything over to your PC, or use third party software such as XPlay that allows a Windows PC to read and write to a Mac formatted iPod.
Perhaps you could take a look at this article for other ways to copy your iTunes library and files from your Mac to the PC.

My ipad logged out from my wifi, and won't log back. It says the password in incorrect.

Yesterday my iPad logged out of my wifi, and now won't log back in. It finds it but then tells me the password is incorrect. My wife's iPad and my lap to work fine on the same password. I've turned wifi on and off, I've reset network functions but no use. Any ideas?

Hi On your iPad in Wifi click on Forget this network ie your wifi service name Then Turn your Router off for 30 Seconds Then Try again. If this doesn't solve the problem. You may need to do a Factory Reset and Restore IPAD as new this will get rid of any bugs. Also later on website check for any Firmware update for your make of Router. Cheers Brian

I tried to update my ipad from ios 4 to 5 and now it won't connect to my computer - it is fully restored and can't connect - getting an error message. Help!

I just recently tried to update my ipad from ios 4 to 5 and now I am getting an error message when I try to connect it to the computer so that I can download all of my apps, etc. please help! Error message says iTunes could not connect to this iPad. An unknown error occurred (oxE8000000A).
Help!

Syncing with iTunes on a Mac or PC requires:
Mac: OS X v10.6.8 or later
PC: Windows 7; Windows Vista; or Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 3 or later
iTunes 10.7 or later (free download from www.apple.com/nz/itunes/download)

IPad 2 fully connected to Wi-Fi and a VPN, but not getting any internet access

I'm on iOS 8.3 using an iPad 2, and the other day out of nowhere, I stopped getting internet connection to my iPad. I am still connected to my WiFi network as well as a VPN I was using before I lost internet connection (which is weird, as I figured I'd have lost that), and the WiFi icon is still there. I've tried multiple methods to try and fix the problem:
updating the iPad (I was on iOS 8.1 when I lost connection)
forgetting and then rejoining the network
renewing the lease under the WiFi network's settings
rebooting the iPad
turning WiFi off and on
turning airplane mode and Do Not Disturb mode on, then keeping the iPad turned off for 10 minutes (as suggested here: iPad connected to wifi, but no wifi icon and no internet access?)
unplugging and then plugging back in the router's power
turning off the VPN (it hadn't caused any problems for the week I had been using it, but I wanted to make sure)
doing a hard reset on the iPad
and NONE of these have done anything to help. I have no idea what to do now, as I can't seem to find really anymore possible solutions. Also, yes, I checked the network IP address and it doesn't start off with "169". And the iPad is the only thing that isn't getting internet access, every other device in my house is doing fine, so I don't think it's the WiFi network itself. Unfortunately I can't try connecting to another WiFi network either to see if I can still actually connect to the internet, as I live in a semi-rural area. I've never run into any issue like this in the 3 years I've had the iPad, and I have no idea what's going on. Will I need to take it into an Apple Store to have it fixed, or is there anything left I might be able to do myself?

When you unplugged the router did you leave it off for at least 3.minutes? Try unplugging it again, waiting & then bootimg back up.
Try to connect your iPad again,
If you have another iOS device that is connected, check it's wifi settings under your network the IP address settings & cross compare it to your iPad 2
Some routers also have settings where you can increase allowable connections. Have you tried connecting just your iPad with no other devices connected?
if that doesn't work, I would suggest you try & find a public wifi hotspot to see if you can connect there. If not, then I would suggest your next trip be to a Genius Bar to Let Apple diagnose the issue.

I plug in my iPad and make sure it is connected to the internet and locked. I still get "This iPad hasn't been backed up in (N) Days" What am I doing wrong?

Is the iPad plugged in to the mains ? You can force a backup via Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > Back Up Now
If the 'hasn't been backed up' message is stuck on the screen and you can't clear it then try a soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider if it appears), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot. You can then force a backup as above.

HT3529 my iphone just stop connecting to my wifi and i have tried all the recommended troubleshooting with no success. Also when i send a text , it shows it coming from my email address instead of my cell #. i cant get a text going to my cell #. help

If i understand what you are saying then you are seeing the WiFi indicator after connecting but Apps are saying that they are not connected to the internet?
Your router may not have given your iPod a valid IP address. Go to Settings > Wifi > your network name and touch the ">" to the right to see the network details. If the IP address starts with 169 or is blank then your router didn't provide an IP address and you won't be able to access the Internet.
Sometimes the fix can be to restart your router (remove power for 30 seconds and restart). Next, reset network settings on your iPod (Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings) and then attempt to connect. In other cases it might be necessary to update the router's firmware with the latest from the manufacturer's support web pages.
If you need more help please give more details on your network, i.e., your router make, model and version, the wifi security being used (WEP, WPA, WPA2), etc.

I ADDED A CAMERA USING wpS THAT SCREWED UP MY WIFI. i RISTALLED AND NOW MY LAPTOP IS GETTING THE NET, BUT MY IPAD ISN'T ACCEPTING THE PASSWORD--THE SAME AS i USED FOR THE LAPTOP.

I added a dlink camera and used WPS to do that. It apparently disabled my regular wifi. I reloaded the disk for my dlink router and now my laptop is getting a signal, but my ipad won't accept the [passwrd-the same one I used for the laptop.

Just double check that reloading the disk for the router did not restore it to factore settings and reset the password to the factory default password.
Try settings/general/reset/reset network settings and try again to connect with the ipad

When i click on safari to use the internet it says "safari cannot open the page because it is not connected to the internet", but i am connected to a wifi network so how do i get safari to work?

you may be connected to the wireless network but the question is the internet working properly on the wireless network...
what i mean is that i can make a wireless network without the internet so i can save and share files and have other devices connected to the same network access them... but you have to make sure that your internet it running properly... may have to reconfigure the router is your using PPPOE or if it was working prior to your post then try to restart your modem... that usually resolves most issues.
