HT2731 My new ipad won't get online

My new ipad won't accept my password to get onto wi-fi.  What should I do?

Hello there, rorifromfl.
The following Knowledge Base article offers up some great recommendations for troubleshooting connectivity:

If after reviewing the primary steps, the issue persists, the following section may provide additional assistance:
Unable to connect to a Wi-Fi network
Verify that you're attempting to connect to your desired Wi-Fi network.
Make sure you're entering your Wi-Fi password correctly. Passwords may be case sensitive and may contain numbers or special characters.
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

    Reboot your iPad and then see if you can set the security questions.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

  • HT201304 New iPad won't allow me download apps

    New iPad won't allow me to download apps or go to iTunes store. How can I correct this?

    usually when you get that message "you account have never been used in itunes store" you just need to review your information and update what they want to have on your file and once you do that you can use account.

  • When I try to connect to the wi-fi net work at my work place on my new iPad 3  I get a message, "unable to join the network". I have verified the password, so I know it is correct. I know the wi-fi works, because I can connect at home.

    When I try to connect to the wi-fi net work at my work place on my new iPad 3  I get a message, "unable to join the network". I have verified the password, so I know it is correct. I know the wi-fi works, because I can connect at home. I have already tried the following:
    turn wi-fi off and on again
    did a hard restart of my iPad
    reset network connections back to factory settings
    verified wi-fi is working as my computer accesses internet without issue.
    verified that my software is up to date.
    Does anyone have more suggestions?

    Couple of suggestions.
    First, many companies have a gateway on their networks that block non approved devices.  I work in such a place.  You might check with an IT guy , and see if they have a block in place.
    Second, the message you are getting means that you have not negotiated the security settings.  So either the password is wrong ( case sensitive), or, in some cases, they want a network key as opposed to your normal password.
    Again, if you can find one, talk to an IT guy and see if he has some suggestions.

  • I have just had a replacement IPad as the camera stopped working. Now the new iPad won't recognise my aol e mail for face time as well as my apple id. I have tried adding as a second e mail, but it says already in use

    I have just had a replacement iPad as the camera stopped working.
    Now the new iPad won't receive FaceTime calls at my aol.com email.
    If I try to add it as a FaceTime address it just says email address already in use.
    I guess it is still linked to the old iPad in some way
    Any suggestions? The old I pad is wiped and back in the store

    This Apple article should be able to help ya out -> iOS: FaceTime is 'Unable to verify email because it is in use'

  • My brand new IPad won't connect to my wi-fi box.

    My brand new IPad won't connect to my wi-fi box. I have been entering the required 26-character code (this is in France) over and over, phoning my supplier but to no avail. I have also checked bluetooth connection as some-one suggested in a discussion and its ok. I'm at a loss ! Can anyone help ? Thanks !

    Turn Bluetooth off in Settings > General > Bluetooth
    Having Bluetooth enabled while using Wi-Fi can cause interference.
    Now tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
    Restart the iPad. Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button down until the red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider to turn off iPhone. To turn iPhone back on, press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
    Tap Settings > Wi-Fi. Make sure Wi-Fi is switched on.
    If it still won't connect, try here >  iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections

  • New iPad won't connect to Mobile Hotspot using WPA or WPA2

    I have a new iPad running iOS 6.01.  It connects to wifi networks perfectly.  I also own a Blackberry 9790 that is capable of running a wifi hotspot.  When I try to connect my iPad to the mobile hotspot when WPA or WPA2 Encryption is used the iPad cannot connect.  If I change the Encrypstion to WEP I am able to connect the iPad and wifi works on it.
    Is there a reason the new iPad won't connect to a mobile hotspot that's using WPA/WPA2?  Is there a way to resolve this issue?
    I am able to connect my MacBook Pro to the mobile hotspot using WPA/WPA2 so I know that it's not my phone or the hotspot not working properly.
    Thanks

    It appears as though I fixed my own problem...I hadn't yet tried restarting my blackberry or my iPad since I had been trying to setup the mobile hotspot and connect the iPad.  Anyways, I restarted both devices and then tried connecting using WPA/WPA2 and it worked.
    iPad is now connecting to my mobile hotspot using WPA/WPA2 with no problems.
    Maybe try doing the same if you haven't.

    You can't make calls with iPad; you still need your cell phone.
    It's a pain to use 3rd party software to make calls with iPad.

  • New iPad won't connect to Orange Liveboxs router...

    New iPad 16gig wifi won't connect to Orange Livebox router...
    I can see the router available as a choice in a list of wireless routers(presumably the neighbours' as well), I can select it, it changes from Gray to Black but then removes itself from the window...
    I DO get a message about the 'base station', does this indicate a router issue?
    I have a G5PPC imac working and a G4 powerbook and an iPhone all on this wireless connection - I can switch iPhone wifi on and off and the Livebox is readily found...
    I also have access to a 10.6 macbook and it's network choice behaves in this fashion also - ethernet OK but no wireless....

    I had the same problem. Unfortunately it seems that the Orange Live Box, which was previously the Wanadoo Live Box, is not compatible with a Mac. You can confirm this in the instructions for the Live Box. Completely rubbish and hopefully after mass buying of Apple products will convince Orange to upgrade their technology.
    The solution that I use is to use a second router plugged in to the Live Box and connect to that instead. I can recommend the FONERA SIMPL from http://www.fon.com/en/product. I've now bought 2 as my parents also use the Orange Live Box at their house.
    Hope that helps.

  • My new ipad won't sync with my itunes

    I tried to sync my new ipad (4th generation the newest one) and it says it won't load because I need itunes version 10.7 or higher. I tried to update my itunes (i have version 10.6.3) and it says I have the newest version of itunes. On the apple website I saw they have version 11 of itunes so i downloaded that but it won't install to my macbook because it says i need to have newer software. I tried to update my mac software and it says there are no updates but i have version Mac OS X 10.5.8 and there should be an update for that too. How do i update my macbook software when it says theres no updates?

    You need to update to OS X 10.6
    Snow Leopard = OS X 10.6.x
    It is Not available as a download... It is a Paid Upgrade.
    Do this first...
    Check that your Mac meets the System Requirements for Snow Leopard...

    After the Successful Install, run Software Update to get the latest updates for Snow Leopard.

  • Apps in the 'new iPad' won't open

    I just got my 'new iPad' few weeks ago but this had happened twice!
    The first time my apps won't open was after i sync my iPad to the laptop. I'd reinstalled all the apps and everything was alright again.
    I tried to sync my iPad again today and the same thing repeated. I'd tried restarting the iPad few times but it's not working. Is there any other solution? Reinstalling is very inconvenience and time consuming! Worst is that I lost all my paid apps!!!
    Is this a Factory defect?

    I have a new Ipad and experienced the very same problem with the purchased applications not opening.  It was driving me nuts and I think Apple should take this problem seriously and fix it. The temporary fix was exactly as stated by an earlier commentator which is to go to the App store and get a free app (I picked alarm clock) install it and the problem is fixed.  All other apps now will open.
