Why wont my iPad connect to the closest/strongest wifi?

Why wont my iPad connect to the closest/strongest wifi at home? It alway defaults to the one upstairs even when I am right next to our extender in the kitchen?

Try #5.
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

IMAP fine in Mail; "Connection to the Server Failed" on iPhone?

So on my Mac, I have both GMail (works great on iPhone) and an IMAP account for my work's Exchange server set up.
Both accounts work just fine on my Mac; I don't even need to connect to the VPN on my Mac to read Exchange email via IMAP through Mail.
The problem is that the iPhone gives me the "connection to the server failed" whenever I try to connect on either EDGE or wi-fi to read the IMAP Exchange email. The settings in both Mail and the iPhone are identical.
If I turn on the VPN on the iPhone, I get the same message...but at this point, I'm thinking the VPN on the iPhone is worthless.
Can anyone think of a reason why the iPhone can't connect to IMAP even though the laptop can? I'm wracking my brain here trying to figure this out. The purchase of 2 iPhones for other staff to use depends on me getting this up & running! I can tell you that the others will NOT accept "setting up a Yahoo!/GMail account for forwarding. They want their email coming in & responses going out with the company's headers.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

This morning, I was able to fully "unlock" and "open" the correct ports (I believe), and now I'm able to receive email from the IMAP Exchange server. According to the IT guy who's helping me, we opened ports 143 and 25 on the ISA server (firewall), and I'm able to receive. Does this sound right to you?
The only problem now is sending. I cannot send any mail through this work account on the iPhone. Mail just "hangs." I can still send/receive just fine on my iBook Mail account for Exchange (IMAP), but no dice on sending.
The Incoming Mail Server and SMTP/outgoing Server addresses are identical. Works fine on the Mac, but not the iPhone. I do believe the 143 port is now fully open...I think.
Am I still missing something? Thanks for your help!

TS4002 Why am I unable to log onto my iCloud? Why can it not connect to the server?

I have tried numerous times to log in and check my emails but keep getting a window pop up saying that it cannot connect to the 'server'. I have checked on the support page and it says that the iCloud has no reported issues.
Please help!

Hello there, amy_1505.
It seems like you were referred to us from the Knowledge Base article below:
iCloud: Troubleshooting iCloud Mail
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4002
This is the best troubleshooting guide for the error message you’re seeing. Be sure to try all of these steps if you still get the error:
If you can't access iCloud Mail at iCloud.com
Make sure that you're using a supported browser and that your browser is up to date: Choose Software Update from the Apple () menu and install any available Safari updates, as well as any security and OS X updates. Instructions for updating other browsers should be available from the built-in or online help for those browsers.
If your iCloud Mail issue occurs only when using a particular browser, try clearing that browser's cache:
Safari 6 or later: Choose Reset Safari from the Safari menu, then select the "Clear history" checkbox and click Reset. Or choose Develop > Empty Caches (if you don't have a Develop menu, choose Safari > Preferences, click the Advanced icon, then select the “Show Develop menu in menu bar” checkbox).
Safari 5 and earlier: Choose Empty Cache from the Safari menu.
Other browsers: instructions should be available from the built-in or online help for the browser.
If you're having issues accessing iCloud Mail from one location or Internet connection but not another, contact your Internet Service Provider (ISP) or network administrator. Some Internet configurations intentionally or unintentionally prevent access to certain websites or services, such as iCloud Mail.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro.

Yosemite Mail Connections to the server on the default ports timed out.

I have upgraded two machines to Yosemite and I am having huge problems with Mail. It works perfectly well with my .mac mail but it does not work with my xServer running OS X server 10.6.something. I have little triangles but the mail account and I get the message "Connections to the server “mailgate.cp-lighting.co.uk” on the default ports timed out."
Any machine running an older version of OS X has no problems connecting.
The machine running Yosemite all have the same problems, they all have the triangle, they all receive mail but if you read it or delete it, it re-appears as unread so I can receive 20 emails read then delete 6 and a few minutes later I have 20 unread emails again.
Worse mail in the outbox get stuck behind a queue so it takes ages to send any mail, if I look at activity viewer I can see processes constantly running "Moving Messages" , "Synchronizing Sent", "Updating Cache directory"[sent] , "changing flags" and finally "Updating Cache directory"[Inbox]
If I go to mail and preferences/accounts I cannot edit the incoming mail server it is greyed out. I wanted to change the domain nane for the ip address of the server to see if that made any difference but it is not possible. I don't understand what Apple have done it is a nightmare.
Is anyone else having these problems?

Yes, my husband has had this problem too with his IMAP email account. He is temporarily using Thunderbird, which is working better, but it is also reporting lost connections. Seems the issue is deeper within the networking or security services of Yosemite than the Mail app itself.

Why wont e-mail work on the iPhone for my company?

Ok i have been wanting to get an iPhone for a while now. About 8 months ago a bunch of us in our company upgraded our phones and most of us got new blackberry's because thats what we always had. One person decided to get an iPhone. When i tried to set up the e-mail for them it just didnt work well at all. Some e-mail came in, most didnt. An e-mail would go out, but most wouldnt. There was no rhyme or reason for it. We were missing tons of e-mails and in our industry i cant afford to miss e-mails and have them not come through, or not being able to reply to them. We dont use AOL, or Gmail, or any of those, but our e-mail is not on an exchange server. It is POP3. I was thinking that maybe the e-mail has gotten better and maybe it will work now? Well at least im hoping... Any ideas?

Although a POP account can be accessed with more than one email client, a POP account is designed to be accessed with a single email client only. If the account is being accessed with an email client on the one person's computer and the email client on the one person's computer is launched and running actively checking the incoming mail server for new messages while the iPhone's Mail client is doing the same, only one email client can be checking the incoming mail server for new messages and/or downloading new messages at a time.
In addition, what is the account setting with the email client used on the computer for accessing the account for removing messages from the server when downloaded? If set to remove messages from the server when downloaded and the email client is actively checking the account for new messages and downloading new messages received at the server while the iPhone's Mail client is doing the same, the messages downloaded with the email client on the computer will be removed from the server when downloaded so the messages will not be available for the iPhone's Mail client to download when the iPhone's Mail client checks the incoming mail server for new messages afterwards.
Does the account have an authenticated SMTP server?
If not, there will be problems sending messages with the account depending on the the internet service provider being used for the internet connection at the time.

Why wont my iphone connect to the internet

My iphone won't connect to the internet. I have called sprint and have tried the rest and nothing works.

No clue, you've provided no details.
What happens when you try connecting to the Internet?
Does it only happen with cellular data or on Wi-Fi as well?

Why Windows refuses to connect to the server ?

Hi,
we have a Xserve running Mac OS X server 10.5.6 and some folders are shared in AFP and SMB. With a Mac we can connect to these folders using both protocols but with PCs, some accept to connect and others not even running both XP SP3?!? We have no idea why... When we tried to connect using a recalcitrant PC we are looping at the window asking user and password.
Any tip will be welcome.
Regards.

Oh boy! Let me see what's going on. Are you using the VZW Cloud or the BUA app? Please try downloading the VZW Cloud app if you dont already have it. And once downloaded. Tap the 3 bars in the upper corner and go down to "TOOLS", then tap "RESTORE CONTENT". That should do it!

Why I can't connect to the server ?

Hi, I want to implement a simple viewer for an axis camera on the web. I have just this simple file but when I run it from the terminal I got the following error:
java.io.FileNotFoundException: http:/142.22.58.150/axis-cgi/mjpg/video.cgi?camera=&showlength=1&resolution=704x480 (No such file or directory)
I tried with different urls, but still the same error. I run the code from the osx terminal. Should I change some permissions ? should i modify the code ? how ?
thanks
public class Viewer extends JFrame {
     Viewer() {
          //TODO set frame size for the container
          //set frame size
          this.setSize(500, 500);
          this.setTitle("camera Manager viewer");
          // axis camera connection
          String cameraStreaming = "http://142.22.58.150/axis-cgi/mjpg/video.cgi?camera=&showlength=1&resolution=704x480";
          BufferedImage img = null;
          try {
          //Loading video streaming
          BoundaryMJPEGConnection bMconnection = new BoundaryMJPEGConnection( new FileInputStream(new File(cameraStreaming)));
          //getImage
          //byte[] bMconnection.getNextImage();
          try {
               img = ImageIO.read(new ByteArrayInputStream(bMconnection.getNextImage()));
          } catch (IOException e) {
          System.out.println(e);
          } catch (IOException e) {
          System.out.println(e);

That URL isn't a file. So don't use a File object or a FileInputStream if you want to read it.
This tutorial tells you how to read from a URL, among other things:
