HT1695 Hi. I recently purchased the Ipad with Wifi + 3G but cannot get the Wifi to work. Do I need a password for that?

Hi all. I recently purchased the Wifi + 3G Ipad version and am trying to connect the Wifi but I'm not sure if I need a password for that or not.
I am a bit of a beginner so anything technical goes over my head so would really appreciate any help.
Thanks :)

it depend on your wifi network
I hope you do use a password otherwise you have an unsecure wifi network which could be abused by other people

    No one from Apple here - this is a user-to-user forum for the Apple Thunderbolt Display. If you don't like your iPad, sell it.
    If you want to ask questions about your iPad, go to the iPad community forum.

  • I recently purchased an IPad 2 wifi with 3 G.

    I can hook up to my WiFi but I don't know how to tell if it is browsing the net using the 3G or it is using WiFi.  The icons in the upper LH corner say Vorizion and have the WiFi icon next to it.  which is it using and can I force it to use WiFi?

    If there is a usable wifi network (e.g. it knows the wifi network password) then that will be used in preference to 3G - if there is a wifi symbol at the top left of the screen then that should indicate that wifi is being used. If you want to be absolutely sure that you aren't using 3G (e.g. if the wifi network is weak and it occasionally disappears), then you can should be able to turn off 3G in Settings > Cellular Data

  • I just purchased an ipad with wifi do i need to buy something else in order to get wifi? i have internet at home but no wifi connection

    I just purchased an Ipad mini with wifi. Do i need an additional piece of equipment to make this work? we have Internet but it is through cable.

    Yes. You need a router for WiFi now. There are many, many routers on the market. You need to run the cable into the router to set up a WiFi network. I have no idea where you live, but in the U.S., stores like Best Buy and Radio Shack can help you with this.

    Apple has one called AirPort Express that is portable if you travel and have a need for a router on the road.

    They also offer an AirPort Extreme and Time Capsule which would probably be overkill for you but you can check them out here.

  • Airport working with my desktop, but cannot get my Iphone to recognize base station

    Airport express, brand new, seems to be working with my desktop, just fine, and playing Itunes thru airport. However, cannot get my Iphone 5 to recognize base station. Seems to periodically work, but not consistently. Is there any setting change on the iphone that will help?

    Hi myedscape,
    Happy Holidays!  If your iPhone 5 is not consistently connecting to your new Airport Express, try these troubleshooting steps:
    iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections - Apple Support
    http://support.apple.com/en-us/TS1398
    Be sure you're in range of your Wi-Fi router (access point).
    Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and turn Wi-Fi off and on. If your Wi-Fi setting is dimmed, follow these steps.
    Confirm that your Wi-Fi router and cable or DSL modem are connected to power, turned on, and connected to the Internet. If not, refer to your network administrator or Internet service provider (ISP) for assistance.
    Restart your iOS device.
    Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and locate the Wi-Fi network to which you're connected.
    Tap  and Forget this Network.
    Try to connect to your desired Wi-Fi network. 
    Note: You may need to enter your Wi-Fi password again if your network requires one.
    Turn your Wi-Fi router off and on2. If your ISP also provides cable or phone service, check with them before attempting this step to avoid interruption of service.
    Update your device to the latest version of software.
    Update your Wi-Fi router to the latest firmware2. For AirPort Base Stations, install updates using the AirPort Utility.
    Reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Note: This will reset all network settings including:
    previously connected Wi-Fi networks and passwords
    recently used Bluetooth accessories
    VPN and APN settings

  • I have a imac and a pc laptop set up with my wireless lexmark x7675 printer through my bthome hub network, but cannot get macbook pro to work

    i have a lexmark wireless printer, its connected to my imac via wireless bthome hub connection, works fine, so does my pc laptop.  but when it comes to connect my macbook pro aswell it wont work.  i have installed lexmark drivers on macbook, i have follwed the wireless connection setup and plugged in via usb port. it says it has connected successfully, but it will not print.  i had it connected at one point, but would only print if the imac was on, but now it wont even do that.
    please help, it seems like instead of connecting through bthome hub it wants to connect to my imac, how do i change this?

    Well there would probably be different settings for the wireless.
    For example, with a Lexmark printer although I needed to do nothing to get it to work via USB, to get the wifi working I had to use a special setup option for getting the wifi to work on my pc.
    You can probably download the manual for your printer from the manufacturers website, and it should tell you how to get it to work with your printer.

  • Is it possible to sync hotmail between ipad, iphone and macbook air. My iphone and ipad are synced OK but cannot sync up with my (new) macbook air - neither maill nor contacts.

    I have had ipad and iphone for a while and my mail, contacts and calendar are all synced up so that when I add or delete an item on one device it mirrors that on the other. Have recently purchased a macbook air but cannot get my hotmail to sync up - so I have to manage that separately from the ipad. Help!

    After I updated my new Ipad  with IOS 6, now Map& Dictation icon are not working. please help me

    Thank you wjsten for your soon reply. Unfortunately on these days I'm in a country that Apple don't have any retail store here and for sake of time I prefer to fix it myself to DHL it to the nearest country to use its warranty. Do you have any idea how can I fix it? Do you think it's a software issue?

  • We recently purchased the iphone5 (2) and are having problems with sound coming thru the earbuds when we plug them in to the iphones.  works fine with the ipad.  help please

    recently purchased the iphone5 (2 of them) and are having problems with the earpods.  no sound when plugged in to the iphone.  both phones.  works with the ipad.  help please

    Hi P5052,
    Welcome to the Support Communities ... and congratulations on the purchase of your iPhone 5's!
    It is very unusual that neither phone is working with the new earpods. 
    Have you tried a different headphone just to see if the issue is with the earpods or the iPhones?
    The article below will give you the basic troubleshooting steps for this issue.
    Click on the link below to see more details and screenshots. 
    I've quoted some helpful highlights for you:
    iPhone: Can't hear through the receiver or speakers
    Symptoms
    When someone calls, I can't hear them through the receiver or speaker phone, and I can't hear music through the speaker. I also can't be heard by someone who is calling me.
    Note: iPhone has one speaker, which is adjacent to the dock connector. On iPhone 4 or later models, the speaker is to the right of the dock connector. On earlier iPhone models, the speaker is to the left of the dock connector.
    Resolution
    Verify that there is nothing plugged in to the headset jack, including headsets, headphones, or adapters.
    Make sure the Ring/Silent switch is not switched to silent.
    While on the Home screen, adjust the volume buttons. If you see the icon below, indicating that headphones are attached, there may be debris or an object lodged in the headset jack:
    Check the headset jack. If there is an object lodged in the headset jack that is not easily removed, have the iPhone serviced to remove object.
    For Original iPhone: If there is light debris, such as lint, in the headset jack, try connecting a pair of headphones to the headset jack and then remove the headphones. Repeat this several times to remove the debris.
    If you have installed a protective film on the display, either ensure that the receiver is not covered or remove the film completely.
    Check the receiver mesh (which is on the top front of the device, above the display). If it appears blocked, use a clean, small, dry, soft-bristled brush to carefully and gently brush away any debris.
    If you have paired with a Bluetooth headset that is nearby, either use the headset or turn Bluetooth off (chooseSettings > General > Bluetooth).
    Restart the iPhone.
    If restarting the iPhone doesn't resolve the issue, try restoring the device.
    If the issue persists, go to the Service Answer Center - iPhone for information on service.
    Hope this helps!
    - Judy

  • I have recently purchased the latest ipad. Got to say I am extremely dissapointed that it does not support Java or Flash which are platforms needed to do online business banking. I am now faced with ditching it and replacing it with a competitors product

    I have recently purchased the latest ipad. Got to say I am extremely dissapointed that it does not support Java or flash which are platforms needed to do online business banking. I am now faced with ditching an expensive toy for a competitors product that offers full business functionallity. Is there any way round this ? It seems extremely bad form on apples part not to support this or make it very clear of the products limitations at the time of purchase.

    Well, my bank has an app but the website does not use Flash or Java.  While my credit union doesn't have an app, their website doesn't require Flash or Java either.
    I pay all my bills online, bank, and access my brokerage accounts.  None of the sites I have encountered require Flash or Java.  Some government sites do require Flash so I use Photon, it's a browser that does Flash content very well.  So you might check out some alternatives browsers.
    Otherwise I suppose you will either dump you bank, your iPad, or just not do online banking. 

  • I have recently purchased the new iPad and I am having difficulties with draft emails not saving. Either it saves some of the added text or it saves none of it. Any suggestions, thanks?

    I have recently purchased the new iPad. I can send and receive e-mails (iCloud) without a problem but the draft function does not seem to be working. Specifically, when you go back to work on a draft e-mail, it has not saved the changes you made previously. Kinda annoying!  I think it must be a problem specific to my iPad as my iPhone does not have this problem. All suggestions as to solutions very welcome.

    Try a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. When the screen goes blank power On again in the normal way.] It is absolutely/appsolutely safe!

  • I have recently purchased an IPad Air. This comes with "IPhoto" as well as it's usual photo App. I do not have a Mac, instead I am syncing it to my windows PC. Is there any way of actually moving a picture around, (arranging photos in a single album)

    I have recently purchased an IPad Air. This comes with "IPhoto" as well as it's usual photo App. I do not have a Mac, instead I am syncing it to my windows PC. Is there any way of actually moving a picture around, (arranging photos in a single album), in either of these apps???? They claim to be able to "Organize"  or "arrange" Photos, but for the life of me I can't figure out how......could you recommend any apps that actually allow someone to move individual photos around on an IOS Device.

    No, reordering within folders and albums is not supported. the yare arranged automatically by date. I found this, but I have not used any of the apps besides iPhone. You might check the descriptions to see if they do what you need.

  • I am using an apple ipad 2. has always used facebook on it since the first day I purchased it.  I started to use it last evening, 01/19/14 and received a blank white page on facebook..at the top it shows ipad with wifi running, time in the middle and amou

    I am using an apple ipad 2, have always used facebook on it since I purchased it. now, tryig to open facebook, I receive only a white blank page.  the only thing is that at the very top, it shows ' ipad with wifi running   middle -- time and at the right end.. the battery amount.  then my my white page.  I am not understanding?

    Quit the Facebook app then reset the iPad.
    Double click the Home button to show the screen with running and recently used apps. Each app icon will have a sample page above it. Flick up on the page (not the app icon) and the page will fly away and the app icon will disappear. This quits that app. Then reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

  • I recently purchased an ipad 2 secondhand and it appears to still be covered under the warranty. Does the warranty extend to me as the new  owner?

    I recently purchased an ipad 2 secondhand and it appears to still be covered under the warranty. Does the warranty extend to me as the new owner. The previous owner has not notified Apple that I am the new owner and has now moved away so no contact possible

    Warranty is with the device, not the user.
