this still didn't fix iPad connectivity after updating to iOS 6.0.1 !!! intermittent wi-fi connection, even with a direct line-of-sight to the router.

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

Why does my camera connection kit not work with my ipad 1 after updating on ios 5?

Why does my camera connection kit not work with my ipad 1 after updating on ios 5? What can I do to make it work again?

It should. It will only respond if there's something on the card for it to respond to, so do you have pics on the card?
And if it's messing up; try giving the iPad a restart. Hold down the sleep and home keys, past when you see hte red power down slider and until you see the silver apple. Let it reboot and try again. That can clear up any glitches on the device itself.

Ipad disabled after updating to ios 8

I updated my ipad 2 to ios 8 and it asked for a password, I never had a lock on this device, I guessed the same one I have on my iPhone but that didn't work, now it is completely disabled. I don't have iTunes and never plugged this iPad into a computer.
Everything is pointing now to losing all my data, but I cannot!! there are pictures of my best friend that passed away in January, I cannot lose those! I see lots of people are having this problem PLEASE help me get my pictures. They are very dear to me.

MeganTD,
I completely understand how you feel. This has happened to me as well when I updated to IOS 8 when it first came out and now I can't get into my Ipad. The difference is that I actually had a passcode on it and just typed it in just like the million other times I did and it says that the passcode was "wrong." I thought it was just a mistake so I did it again and it said it was "wrong again, please try in 15 minutes." This went on for about a day and when I tried to login again with the passcode it completely locked me out to where it says to "connect to itunes" which I did but the Ipad doesn't show up unless I put it into recovery mode, which doesn't help either because I don't want to restore my Ipad until I back it up first.
I even took it to the apple store to the genius bar and explained my situation and they couldn't even help me, saying that unless you have a backup on your computer there is no way to recover your data on your ipad before restoring it. I thought that was completely ridiculous that it wasn't my fault that the Ipad is disabled after updating to IOS 8 and that there is absolutely NO WAY of recovering your data. I even asked if there was 3rd party software that could backup the ipad before recovering and they couldn't give me that information either.
I have been looking all around the internet for a solution but to no avail. I hope there is some information out there that can help us because there has to be SOME WAY that you can get into your ipad and backup without having to rely just on itunes and icloud.

Safari not work for iPad mini after updated to ios 6.1.3

After updated to ios 6.1.3, Safari just not response. I cannot input any web address. Do anyone has this problem? Do anyone know how to solve it?

First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

Can't send email through my aol mail on my iPad 2 after updating to iOS 7

I had to update m iPad because I was no longer able to work a lot of my apps because they kept telling me that there was an update that I had to do in order to even work my apps! I was very reluctant to do it in the first place fearing that I would loose a lot of my pics, videos and or more! Anyway so the other day I sat down and finally did it. After updating my iPad 2 to the new operating system of iOS 7 now I cannot send emails through my aol mail on my iPad. I tried putzing with the settings for smtp and to no avail nothing, I then decided well maybe downloading the aol app would help but still not good enough because it takes up so much room that I had to delete some apps just to get it. I had since deleted the aol app and am still trying to figure out why I keep getting the message I am getting is incorrect] hen it gives me two options which are option 1) Settings and option 2) Cancel. I am in need of assistance here because I can receive mail but cannot send it. Oh and I am able to send mail through my other email addresses on my iPad mail including my me.com and iCloud.com as well as two others but am not able to send through aol. I am loosing my patience with apple very quickly as one why did I have to update the system and why am I forced to update my apps which I feel is completely ridiculous in the first place. Everything was fine until I had to do that and now I cannot keep my iPad on for more then an hour when the battery drains so quickly now because I guess it takes up so much unneeded space! PLEASE HELP ME!

Hello, PriestessJeanann.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Here is an article I would recommend going through when experiencing issues with mail. The usual fix would be to delete the email account in question and add this account via the preset AOL option. I would also recommend checking with your email provider for security procedures such as two-step verification as this could cause this issue.

Hi Turn Router off for 30 seconds Goto Settings Reset Network Settings After reset you need to enter your router wireless key. Also later check on website for a Firmware update for your router. Cheers Brian

Line is not usable in ipad air after updating to ios 8.02

After I updated my ios to 8.02 in my ipad air, "line" is no longer usable. The failure symptom is that I can find my friend, but the "chat" function is not usable. I've tried to close the machine and re-start up again also I tried to delete "line" and re-load from appstore but it came out in vain. Did any one suffer the same issues? Please help me, thanks a lot!!

Hello Shaun0606,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
The following article provides information for resolving issues with third party apps:

My ipod touch is showing I am Connected to Wifi, yet when I attempt to visit a website It Says Not Connected to the internet. I have reset my settings and ipod and this still didn't fix the problem

My ipod touch shows that I am connected to the internet but when I attempt to visit a webpage it says I am not connected to the internet. I have reset my settings & wifi . And that has not helped the problem! PLEASE HELP ME!

Your Wi-Fi seems to connect as a local network but not to the Internet.
Since you can connect to the Internet using your neighbour's Wi-Fi, the problem is definitely your home router.

Slow start-up time on iPad 4 after updating to iOS 7

I have just updated my iPad 4 from iOS 6 to iOS 7, and realized that it took much longer to switch off and back on than it used to be (at least double the time). Anyone have the same issue? How to make the start-up time faster? Thanks.

Try This...
Close All Open Apps... Sign Out of your Account... Perform a Reset... Try again...
Reset ( No Data will be Lost )
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
If no joy...
Reset all settings
Settings > General > Reset > Reset all Settings.
This will return all iDevice settings to factory defaults... you will not lose any data.... But you will have to re-enter all of the device settings.
If the issue persists...
Connect to iTunes on the computer you usually Sync with and Restore
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
Make sure you have the Latest Version of iTunes (v11) Installed on your computer
iTunes free download from www.itunes.com/download
Note:
Also consider Deleting any Apps you have Purchased / Downloaded but you now never use.

Unable to connect after update to ios 5

I have recently updated my ipod touch 2nd generation to ios 5. when im connecting to my home network, it finds it ok then all i get is the little spinner next to it. ive checked my iphone and this shows up as a tick and is working fine. everything else on the network is also working fine. i do get the bars showing up on the wifi connection but when i try to go on safari, mail or apps it says theres no internet connection.
ive tried all of the main points ive seen in the forums. Powering off, resets etc. but nothing changes.
any help would be greatly appreciated.

Have you powered off and then back on your router?
Does the iPod successfully connect to other networks?
When you go to network properties what IP addres, gateway and DNS server is listed?
Have you tried here:
iPhone and iPod touch: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections

After updating to iOS 7.0.3 wifi won't connect.

I've never had this problem before iOS 7. Now whenever I try to connect to my wifi at home I get a notification saying "Unable to join the network".
I've also tried reseting my network settings and it seems to help temporarily... sometimes. Other times it just takes a long time before it will finally connect. And it's getting very frustrating.

Oy... they moved it out of iTunes and into the Dashboard that you swipe from the bottom. just go there and you should see the Airplay button. I guess they did this because other programs can now access airplay beside itunes.
