HT1695 cannot find "wifi" on my ipad
I have an Ipad mini. My router is a linksys. Itunes says to sync my ipad with itunes but i cannot find the wifi tab on my ipad mini
Click on the Settings icon.
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 purchased a tv programme downloaded it and it finished but I cannot find it on my iPad anywhere and says download again how do I watch it ?
Welcome to the Apple Community.
Try videos > TV shows.
If it isn't there...
You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option which is revealed in the iTunes app on your iOS device by tapping the more button at the bottom of the screen. -
I rented a movie through itunes and now I cannot find it on the ipad. How do I access it?
Mmmm, try checking for available downloads from the store menu, if that doesn't help, select the content which is causing a problem and use the 'Report a problem' button in Your Purchase History using your computer.

Macbook Air cannot see Wifi but iPhone, iPad, and boot camp Widnows can
I just started living in an apartment with a shared wifi router. I have no control over this router and i'm fine with that since I'm just with my girlfriend here and don't have a lot of other uses for it other than simply downloading stuff and using a computer.
The problem is that literally every device I have (iPad, iPhone) can see and connect to the wireless network. Oddly, my Macbook Air 2013 cannot see this network. Some days I am actually able to connect and it works fine but then it'll just disappear and I cannot find it again. I have bootcamp installed on the Macbook Air and when I switch to Windows I can see the network and can connect with no problems.
I don't understand why the Mac OS side of things fails to even see the network when this is one of the devices with probably the most powerful network card considering it's 2013 and even has the ability to connect to ac wireless signals.
Any suggestions? I would prefer to use my Mac OS side of things rather than Windows due to battery life at least, among other obvious things.I FIXED IT!!!!
I reset my airport express (for the umpteenth time) but this time I did a manual setup instead of going through the assistant. Changed the Channel to 10 (I am surrounded by other wifi networks using 1 and 11, so I just picked anything but 1 or 11) and configured it for 802.11g only (it defaults to b/g on the setup assistant).
So far, no problems, and both MBA and MBP connect.
I would guess this has started to happen recently due to one or both of
- recent Lion updates
- additional wifi networks popping up in my apartment building causing some kind of interference
That's my layman conclusion anyway.
Thanks for all your help! I feel like a heavy weight has been lifted off my shoulders. -

Cannot find wifi connection anymore
I purchased my iphone this past March and everything has been working fine until now. Last Thursday I was on wifi downloading an app that was about 12MB. After making the purchase, I was disconnected from wifi and could not proceed with the download.
I continually tried connecting, but could not find the network. It is now Monday and after resetting the network settings, trying the airplane mode trick, updating to the latest version, and restoring I still cannot find the network. I've tried on multiple networks too and still no luck. I tried phoning Tech Support but they said I'd have to pay for phone support. Any suggestions? hardware problem? Have no idea who to send it to if needing replacement. No Apple store near by either.So I have two iphones (3G and 3GS) in the family, an ipod touch (1st gen), an IMAC, AppleTV, MAC Book and a MAC Book Pro. An new dual band Apple Airport Extreme and dual Apple Airport Extreme.
The computers & Apple TV connect just find to my network (security is WPA/WPA Personal). The iphones and ipod touch cannot connect worth a hoot. My neighbor has a Belkin network (no security) and both phones and touch connect just fine. I am totally flummoxed. I have tried resetting the network settings on the iphones but to no avail. The only time the devices connect is when the phone or touch is literally within a foot of the base station.
any suggestions? -
I think i dowloaded a video from MAC but cannot find it on the IPAd, help.
Video ison my MAC and when i sync my IPAD it shows the vidoe in on the Ipad, but i cannot find it.
Hello Cargomsgt,
It sounds like you downloaded an app onto your computer and did not find it on your iPad or your computer after syncing your iPad. When you purchase iOS apps on a computer, and you want it to sync to your ios device, you need to install the app onto the devie using iTunes. The following article will help you with that:
iTunes 11 for Mac: Sync and organize iOS apps
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12115
You can also download the app to the iPad directly from the App Store on the it:
Download past purchases

Playbook cannot find WIFI networks
Hi, I have a new Playbook 16gb wifi and the wifi isn't working. Essentially what happened was after I completed the initial setup it prompted me to install an OS update after which the WIFI stopped working. I cannot connect to any network no matter the type a/b/g/n, the frequency, the channel or the mode. I have tried on two Netgear routers, 1 DLink and 1 iPhone (used as a hot spot). I have tried PBS using the actual button and the PIN but neither works. It just cannot find any networks.
I tried resetting to factory defaults but that has made the situation worse because I am now stuck at the setup screen with no networks to complete setup. I can't connect to the desktop software either because the installation hasn't completed.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers
DavidHello
Were you able to fix the wifi issue ?
I have successfully reloaded QNX OS on the Playbook using Desktop manager.
Version 1.0.7.2942 was loaded.
I still have the same problem, it is impossible to connect to the wifi network.
I have tried wpa2, wpa and wep , nothing works. I have tried at over 10 different routers. I tried with routers where other playbook wifi works well, but this one playbook won't connect, I always get the same error while trying to pair to the network, it doesn't event get to the acquiring IP address phase.
Thanks -

Suddenly I cannot find wifi on iphone 4s
I have an iPhone 4s with iOS 8.1.2.
I find myself abroad for a month. I have been using my iPhone normally for three weeks without any trouble. Suddenly yesterday, after having worked with it for several hours, it cannot find anymore the wifi of the place in which I am staying, even if all other people can still use it.
I already tried to disable the location setting and also to reset the original settings. None of these have produced any results. Can you help me?Hi ff/medic,
To browse your music by playlist, look at the bottom of the screen in the Music app, you should see a Playlists button to click. If not, select the More… button.
You can find this and much more information in the iPhone’s User Guide -

Just moved into new flat & though my Ipod touch can see the flat's wifi & connect, my Ibook running 10.4.11 cannot though it can see all my neighbours. Is there anything I can try. I have searched for the network name with the WEP passcode but it can still not find it. Any help would be much appreciated.
I just had this type of problem with my Linksys router. I pressed the reset button on the router and it erased my set up info (bad move). I contacted Linkys support chat and learned that I had to run through the online set-up procedure again. Now my iBook sees the router.
I don't want to send you on a wild goose chase but maybe all you need to do is set up your connection again.

First thing I want ask you, have you view the link below to troubleshoot your current issue:
If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch won’t connect to a Wi-Fi network - Apple Support
If yes and it was unsuccessful then I would reach out to Linksys and check the router firmware. Chances are it maybe be running an outdated firmware. Please call the numbers below to move forward.
