HT5569 iPad 2 (ios 7) has been working perfectly fine, but suddenly has ceased to connect to home wifi

My iPad 2 (ios 7) has been working perfectly fine for years. All of a sudden it's stopped connecting to my home wifi. The password is not recognised, even though it is the right password. I've tired the reboots and forget network etc. The renew lease option is not there, maybe because I reset all network settings. It's just puzzling. I haven't changed anything; my HP laptop is fine. Why would my ipad suddenly do this? is it just an ios7 glitch that apple haven't addressed yet?

If you are having WiFi problems it is necessary to isolate whether the problem is with your network or your iPad. Note: Do NOT consider your network to be blameless if some other devices can connect to it.
First, test your iPad on some other WiFi networks: a friends, Starbucks, Barnes & Noble, etc.
If it works well there then the problem is probably with your network. Try restarting your WiFi router by removing power for 30 seconds. If that does not help check for a firmware update for your router. If none exists which corrects the problem consider replacing the router.
If your iPad does not function well on other networks it possibly has a hardware problem. You could try Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings to see if that corrects the problem. If not, contact Apple Support or visit an Apple store for evaluation. They can provide a replacement if your iPad is bad.
If you need more help please give the make, model, and version of your WiFi router and how you have it configured.

  • I am using Numbers app for the ipad and it has been working absolutely fine but now, when I want to email a spreadsheet as a PDF via the 'share and print' option, the file now doesn't appear as an attachment to the recipient. Any ideas please?

    Hi mafiose15,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    Restoring your iPod to factory settings is the best way to try and get it back to working order. You can use the instructions below to restore it:
    How to restore iPod
    Verify that you have an active Internet connection, because you may need to download new versions of the iTunes and iPod Software.
    Download and install the latest version of iTunes if necessary.
    Open iTunes. Connect your iPod to your computer using the USB or FireWire cable that came with your iPod.
    After a few moments, your iPod will appear in the Source panel in iTunes.
    Select your iPod in the Source panel. You will see information about your iPod appear in the Summary tab of the main iTunes window.
    Click Restore.
    If you are using a Mac, you will be asked to enter an administrator’s name and password.
    A progress bar will appear on the computer screen, indicating that stage one of the restore process has begun. When this stage is done, iTunes will present one of two messages with instructions specific to the iPod model you are restoring.
    Disconnect iPod and connect it to iPod Power Adapter (typically applies to older iPod models).
    Leave iPod connected to computer to complete restore (typically applies newer iPod models).
    During stage two of the restore process, the iPod displays an Apple logo as well as a progress bar at the bottom of the display. It is critical that the iPod remain connected to the computer or iPod power adapter during this stage.
    Note: The progress bar may be difficult to see, because the backlight on the iPod display may be off.
    After stage two of the restore process is complete, the iTunes Setup Assistant window will appear. It will ask you to name your iPod and choose your syncing preferences, as it did when you connected your iPod for the first time.
    You can find the instructions in this article:

  • Macbook Pro's Wifi only works at my house, it has been working perfectly fine everywhere for the past 2 years

    Hi there,
    I have a 13-in Macbook Pro, 2.4 GHz Intel Core i5, Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5.
    My wifi only works at my house. it has been fine for the past 2 years everywhere else, but now the wifi says its connected, but the internet doesnt work.
    I have already tried a number of things to resolve this as it has been happening the past 2 months by looking on here and some have worked, but I can't seem to get anything to work anymore.
    When I run the Network Diagnostics the Network Status is the following:
    wifi- Green
    Wifi-settings- Green
    Network Settings- Red
    ISP-Red
    Internet Server-Red
    I am home right now so the internet is working fine, but seeing as I use my macbook for school and work, I need it to work everywhere.
    Thanks!

    jcupat,
    when you ran the Network Diagnostics above, was that run from home, or was it run away from home?
    If it was away from home, do you get all green lights when you run it at home, or does it work properly despite not all of the lights being green?
    Does your school or work allow anyone’s computer to connect wirelessly, or do these sites require whitelisting of some sort to permit a computer to use their respective networks?

  • My iPad 3 wifi connection has been working perfectly.

    My iPad 3 wifi connection has been working perfectly. Now I have lost automatic connections and when I join wifi told it is the wrong password. IT IS NOT. I have reset the network settings and can then connect with no problem. Keeps happening every time I try to join another wifi connection. Seems I can only store one connection at a time. This is a new problem and previously all of the connections I am tying to join worked absolutely perfectly. Is this a software update problem?

    Thanks. Seems unlikely that several Wi-fi routers that were working fine have simultaneously stopped doing so.
    Have tried a full system reset and set up the ipad as a new device again. Will find out whether that has worked when I try to connect my next wi-fi router tomorrow morning. I will also double check with the other ipad users whether they have been experiencing any problems with the router I could not connect to today until I reset the network settings.
    Thanks again

  • Sim not provisioned, yet my iPhone has been working perfectly

    Can anyone please help me
    My iPhone has been working perfectly but now says sim not provisioned?

    Could be an error with the SIM itself or some glitch on your account?  I would call your carrier's tech support number and ask them about it - it may be something they can deal with over the air, or they may need to get you a new SIM.

    I upgraded from the 4s to the 5s on Tuesday and requested my O2 number be carried over to my new EE contract. Everything has been carried over fine but i have been unable to switch on Imessage and Facetime, Error message shows 'Waiting for Activation' I've done the the resets and followed the instructions from the Apple Help page but still can't get it to switch on??

    If you say you have done everything in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4268, then you should probably contact your carrier for their advice.

  • My husbands ipad2 keeps freezing on the screen, when he has entered the password what ever he working on stops after approx 2 minutes. It only started this morning and has been working perfectly prior to this.  I purchased this 64gb 3G machine via eBay

    My husbands ipad2 64gb 3G the screen keeps freezing. What ever you are working on stops after about 2  minutes the screen freezes and after another few moments you are required to put you password in again. It only started this morning and had been working perfectly until today. I purchased from eBay three weeks ago. If watching bbc new you can only watch for 2 minutes and same for video and games. Keeps coming back to screen saver where all icons are.  Sometimes we are to use the on off button to get it going again.  I set it up the same as my own iPad 32gb. Hope you can help? Thanks.

    Spilled water without flavorings and especially without sugar is something from which your computer may recover. The best thing to do is to shut off as quickly as possible and remove the battery pack. Place the computer in a sunny window with the lid open to promote evaporation of the water. On top of a refrigerator is also a warm perch that'll promote drying. It is difficult to say exactly how long it takes to dry the computer; that depends on ambient temperature and humidity, and how how water is in there.
    The biggest threat from the water is corrosion of metal parts, so drying quickly is a must. Also, water can form mineral salt deposits that can grow conductive dendrites between adjacent traces on printed circuit boards. The formation of dendrites is aggravated if you apply power before the machine is dried out. The worst damage would be if water managed to get in the breather hole of the hard drive - luckily, the way the drive is mounted, that would be fairly unlikely.

  • HT1551 My Apple TV has been working perfectly for a year now it doesn't.

    My Apple TV has been working fine for a year, and now it plays about a minute and "An error occurred loading this content" screen comes up. This has been going on for 2 months.I tried to use it with Netflix and with movies purchase through the Apple store. Iphone sych also does not work.

    Hi Brian - The light at the front of the ATV indicates it is on.  I can't see it on the iOS remote app.  Actually, I installed the app and when I went to the ATV it said 'no signal'.  So, I am not sure if it is coincidence or what, as I did NOT go to the settings on the ATV and change the remote setting.  I can't set it to another TV, can I set it to my MacBook to check?  Thanks a lot by the way!

  • Battery works perfectly fine but does not charge!! (HP Probook 4530s)

    Hi
    This has been happening for the past couple of days or so. My laptop works perfectly fine on the battery but when I plug in the charger, it says "Plugged in, charging" but the battery does NOT get charged. I ran HP Battery Check and got the following results in the charging and discharging situations:
    I will be very thankful for any help you can offer!

    Thank you for the reply Kalt. I have some questions:
    1. How do I perform a hard reset of the BIOS on this laptop?
    2. The battery does not even charge when the laptop is switched off. Which makes me think that it might not be a BIOS issue because when the laptop is off, the battery should charge on A/C power right?
    3. The battery charging LED does turn "orange" which means it is charging... but the battery doesn't get charged. Furthermore, until 2 days ago the battery was still lasting at least 2-3 hours on a full charge. Do you think that the issue is not with the battery but maybe the charging circuit in the motherboard has malfunctioned?
    I appreciate your help

  • My iphone 4 has been working perfectly until now! The bluetooth no longer switches on and the wi fi also will not switch on! Any suggestions?

    My iphone 4 will no longer let me switch on the buetooth or wi fi. It was working perfectly then all of a sudden it all stopped!!!!! Why???????

    yes, your option is as limited as getting it into the hands of an apple store employee (or if you have to ship it.. if there is not a store close by)
    My wife's old 3G had this problem, it is a battery issue.  They replaced my wife's iphone within a day, but I'm not confident any amount of user troubleshooting will fix your problem
