HT1695 Today for some reason my IPad won't fully connect to my iphone and tether.  For instance under settings it shows next to "Wi-FiI'm connected to the Wi-Fi but at the top of the screen there is no connection symbol and in fact i am unable to load web

Today for some reason my Ipad won't tether properly. The iphone says it's connected and on the Ipad next to Wi-Fi in settings shows I'm connected but at the top left of the screen there is no connection icon and I cannot load and display web pages. My Ipad is about three weeks old and I have never had this problem before. I have rebooted but this did not solve my problem.
Any ideas?

Additional things to try.
Try this first. 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.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
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
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

  • HT1386 For some reason my iPad won't sync anymore with my computer in iTunes the last time it would sync was on July 16

    The last time my iPad would sync with iTunes on my computer was July 16th I have tried the thinks I read to do but no help

    You are going to have to provide a few more details than my iPad will not sync.
    Does iTunes see the device?
    If it does recognize the iPad does anything happen at all?
    Does the sync start and then stop?
    Are you getting error messages?
    Help us help you - open up a little bit and share!

  • HT4060 For some reason my iPad wont charge at all I'm using the same charger I use on my other iPad n it still won't work

    For some reason my iPad wont charge at all I'm using the same charger I use on my other iPad n it still won't work

    Try giving it a reset. Hold down the sleep and home keys, past when you see the red power down slider and until you see the silver apple. Let it reboot and try again.
    But  if that charger works just fine with your other iPad and not this one, I'd call up your local apple store and make an appointment so they can look at it. Usually when an iPad wont' charge (when plugged into the wall with its supplied charger) it's
    Bad outlet
    bad power brick
    bad cable
    and if the charger is working with another iPad then that rules that out and the thing left is something wrong with the 30 pin port on the iPad, or perhaps something with the battery or software that monitors the battery. ANd things like that are beyond a user fix.
    On the upside if the device is still under warranty - and barring any obvious signs of abuse or neglect - then it should be covered under the warranty.

  • HT1695 My wife is working in London for 5 weeks and for some reason her ipad will not connect to btfon or btopenzones at her digs, but she has a ethernet socket, so can a wifi only ipad2 be connected to the internet via an ethernet cable

    My wife is working in London for 5 weeks & staying in digs, so we thought it would be a good idea to buy an ipad2 so we could skype each other, she could watch movies from the icloud, access skygo etc,and it wouldn't be as bulky as a laptop. All fine if you can get wifi, but for some reason her ipad cannot locate any btfon or btopenzone hotspots (or provider), IN LONDON??!! We can access them at home in a little village in Northern Ireland. Her digs have an ethernet socket, is it possible to connect her ipad to this socket via an adapter?

    No. She will need to come up with an alternative way to connect. A mobile hotspot perhaps.
    Finding some way to connect to these hotspots would be the ideal situation. I know that you realize that. We know nothing about what is happening, but if you can explain in some detail, maybe somebody here can help.

  • I downloaded a movie last night from iTunes and it downloaded to my laptop and my phone but for some reason it now won't play on my laptop. The album artwork on my laptop has gone and it exists perfectly on my phone. What do I do?

    Help!
    I downloaded a movie last night from iTunes and it downloaded to my laptop and my phone but for some reason it now won't play on my laptop. The album artwork on my laptop has gone and it exists perfectly on my phone. What do I do?
    I paid for it so I'd really like to avoid paying again just to see this movie. Is it because it's on my iPhone? Whenever I try to click on the movie to make it play it just does nothing like it's not there. The file for the movie exists within my iTunes library files but I can't seem to click and drag it into iTunes or open it with iTunes. Need help.

    I understand that when you originally connected your IPhone about a year ago it was recognized properly.
    Now when you connect your IPhone nothing happens but it does charger it, (until you used the last cable.)

    Hi, Dave.
    If you're using the BlackBerry browser, you can't configure anything to bypass the RIM servers.  I believe you may do so by using the Opera browser, but I haven't tried it myself so cannot comment with authority.
    I hope that clears up the issue for you.

  • TS1440 I'm trying to fix the "Blinking Grey Folder" issue, but for some reason my MBP won't accept my internet password, how do I advance past this?

    I've got an early 2011 Macbook Pro running the latest OS, but this afternoon it decided to not start properly, and I was faced with the blinking folder of death. Having googled around the subject a bit, it seems the thing to do is boot and hold the option key, then do a few things to sort it if its sortable. However, its asking for my network, and the password. For some reason, it is completely rejecting the password, even though I know thats the correct one (I'm using it now for instance!).
    So how do I move this forward? I'd rather not have to buy a new MBP, but its looking like it might be necessary at this stage, as I need a laptop for my work! I've tried to book into a London apple store, but there are no free slots at any of them.

    If you are experiencing this in the Safe Mode, sometimes Wi-Fi won't work in the Safe Mode.

    Do you have a current backup? Boot to the Recovery Volume (command - R on a restart or hold down the option key during a restart and select Recovery Volume). Run Disk Utility Verify/Repair and Repair Permissions until you get no errors. Then reinstall the OS.

  • Catalogs,my external hard drive used to show up as its own folder in my folders but for some reason it now showers up as an extension of my internal HD for my Mac . In finder it shows my External drive is a folder called volumes, along with my Mac hard dr

    For some reason my external hard drive no longer shows  up as its own folder, instead it shares a folder named volumes with my Macs HD, whats the best way to move it.?

    I have the same problem.  Let me know when you find a fix.

  • I'm trying to create folders for my apps but for some reason my iPad is not allowing to do so.

    I have held my finger on  app until the apps start to wiggle. I then try to drag the app over another app to create a folder. All that happens is the apps move location. Is there a setting that I need to find to allow me to create folders

    It takes a while for you to get the "touch" down.  With the app jiggling drag it directly on top of the app you want to created the folder and don't let go until the host app kind of enlarges a bit and you'll know you can let go and the app you wanted to move into the folder will stay.  At that point a box will come up with a suggested folder name, which you can certainly keep or if you prefer, rename. 
    You can also do this on your computer in iTunes.........

  • I recently downloaded some music, but for some reason my itunes doesn't sync it to my iphone. How can I fix this?, I recently downloaded some music, but for some reason my itunes doesn't sync it to my iphone. How can I fix this?

    I have tried this on both my desktop and laptop, and both seem to do the same thing.

    As a test, shut down your computer and disconnect ALL USB devices.  Do this procedure to Reset the shuffle
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1655
    Start up computer with nothing connected, except for standard keyboard and mouse (if it's not a laptop).  Run iTunes.  Connect shuffle to a direct USB port on the computer.  See if there's any improvement,
    If the shuffle is now recognized, there may have been a USB device conflict previously, or maybe all of the devices connected at the same time overloads the USB bus (for power).  An iPod charges its battery while connected, so it is a high-power USB device.

  • TS1398 this didn't help me at all. out of the clear clue my iPad can't even scan for wireless networks. even when I type in my home wireless network name. my phone can connect to it but for whatever reason my iPad won't. nothing I've tried works. I'm ****

    believe me I've tried EVERTHING and my iPad still 'can't scan for wireless networks'. it happened all of a sudden and is really really frustrating. I really don't want to have to drive 40 minutes to the nearest 'genius bar'. I'm about ready to break this thing over my knee. I've even tried the frig trick. it worked for about 30 seconds. and then? nothing. any non sarcastic suggestions?

  • I uninstalled older version of Itunes because for some reason it wouldn't start. I installed new version 10.7 for 64 bit (windows 7) and it WONT RUN either. help please

    I couldn't get my 10.6 version of Itunes to open, so I uninstalled it. Installed newer version 10.7 for 64 bit (windows 7) and it won't run either. Please help?

    With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:
