BOB we need you urgently
Perhaps Bob will see this thread, he is the professor in these cases.
You do not use a WEP password but wpa/wpa2 on router and equipment.
All equipment connects to WiFi, but for your iPad.
Even with all other equipment WiFi off, you cannot connect your iPad.
Your iPad connects to other WiFi nets correctly.
All resets etc done on iPad and Router.
Still I am not sure it is your router for sure, frustrating...
I want to test 2 other things:
1. in your iPad, set everything OFF in Settings/Cellular, turn off/then/on your WiFi, and see whether it will still not connect...
2. If that does not do it: disconnect the router as well as the modem from the power, for 15 seconds, then reconnect the modem, let it fully start, then reconnect the routet let it fully start, turn of your WiFi in iPad, then on, and see whether it will connect.

  • Iphone 3gs- updated to the ios 5.0.1... since then i plugged it into itunes, an now my phone restarts itself every 3-4 minutes! Restored 4 times and still not working help please!!!!!

    iphone 3gs- updated to the ios 5.0.1... since then i plugged it into itunes, an now my phone restarts itself every 3-4 minutes!!! it so annoying! its useless, i cant do anything with it. restored it 4 times and its still doing it!!! please help!!!
    i contacted o2 and they said id have to pay to get it fixed after sending it away for ten days if their was a fault, when im still under warranty!! contacted apple who will get back to me!

    I am assuming you updated to version 5.1.1, not 5.0.1 since no legitimate version of 5.0.1 is available.
    Where is this iPhone from and what means did you use to unlock it?

  • My Mail application is rejecting my password even though I'm putting it in correctly. Mail is working fine on my iPad and iPhone but not my iMac so it must be something to do with the Mail settings on my desktop. My software is up to date.  Can you help?

    I have an iMac, operating system 10.7.4 with up to date software. My mail application is rejecting my password even though I know I am putting it in correctly. I have an ipad and iphone and the mail application is working fine on them. On my desktop however I cannot receive or send mail. I think it must be something to do with the settings but cannot work out what. I have contacted BT who provides my email and internet. As I have another email address with them that is working correctly they believe it is a problem with mail rather than with them. Please can you help?

    OK Vicky, good clues...
    See if this helps...
    Open Keychain Access in Utilities, use Keychain First Aid under the Keychain Menu item, then either check the Password under that item, change it, or delete it and start over. See if there are duplicates, should be one for Incoming & one for Outgoing.
    Resetting your keychain in Mac OS X...
    If Keychain First Aid finds an issue that it cannot repair, or if you do not know your keychain password, you may need to reset your keychain.

  • ICal syncs Google calendar with iPad and iPhone but not MacBook Air

    Hi there,
    Sorry to post another thread about syncing issues, but the solutions posted in the ones I looked at didn't quite solve my problem, so I'm wondering if I'm having an issue that's specific to the way I've set things up with my devices?
    I created a Google account for the sole purpose of having a Google calendar that I could share with my Dad. We both access this Google calendar through iCal.
    My Dad generally checks or posts updates using iCal on his iPad and iPhone. Meanwhile, I'm using iCal on my MacBook Air, which FWIW is also running Snow Leopard. (I don't have an iPad or iPhone - this is my only means of accessing the calendar.)
    Any change he makes on the calendar will show up on both of his devices, but not mine. Any change I make will not show up on his devices.
    I logged into the Google account in a web browser (Chrome, FWIW) and checked the calendar through the same browser - all of his changes aren't showing up on it, but mine are.
    I had my Dad reload the same Google calendar in his devices (i.e. delete the account and add it back again) and confirmed he's using the right Google address and password. This doesn't do anything to solve the problem.
    What else am I missing? It's a little frustrating trying to fix this because my Dad's in another state so I don't see him that often, and even though I taught him how to use an iPad and an iPhone, he's still not the most computer literate person, so talking him through this is a little tricky.

    On the MBPro and the iMac open System Preferences > iCloud
    Switch Calendars off then back on.
    Give iCloud a few minutes to re sync the data.

  • Ripped 20 CD's into iTunes, syncs with phone and iPod, but not iPad

    So, maybe sync isn't the right word. All three devices will sync, but the songs ripped from CDs only appear onmy iPhone 5 and my iPod touch, but not on the Ipad. I have recently purchased songs from iTunes, and they do appear on the iPad. Anyone else have this problem? Thanks for any help. Oh, btw, I have the newest iPad, right before they went to the Lightning connector

  • I just secured my WiFi with a WEP password. I can connect my MacBookAir and iPhone, but not the MacBook Pro (MBP using Lion-MBA Mountain Lion, iPhone iOS6

    Using a DLinkVWR (Vonage enabled) router, I just secured the home WiFi with a WEP password. No problem in establishing a WiFi connection on my MacBook Air (OS Mountain Lion 10.8.2) or with my iPhone using iOS6. They both accepted the password and connected directly.
    Not so with my wife's MacBook Pro, using the latest version of Lion, 10.7.5. It can find the WiFi, but upon attempting to connect, the alert is shown that there is no internet connection. This is unique to this MacBook Pro. The drop down menu shows the router checked and 4 bars, but the Alert remains: No Internet Connection.
    What am I doing wrong? This MacBook Pro connected without problem before I secured the router.

    WEP as a security measure is laughable nowadays. Even a kindergarten kid with a netbook can crack the password in a few minutes. Try using WPA2 if available on the device. And the Macs will be quite happy connecting with that protocol.

  • Ios 5 wifi syncing working on iPhone but not iPad

    I've updated all my devices (mbp to 10.7.2, iPhone 4 and iPad 1 to ios5).  I've turned on wifi syncing for both the ios5 devices. The iPhone syncs just fine over wifi (when I unplug the usb cable it stays in the DEVICES list, when I plug it into an ac charger the wifi sync starts).  The iPad doesn't.  When I unplug the usb cable it disappears from the DEVICES list.  Any ideas?

    When I went to bed last night I unplugged my iPad from my mbp and it disappeared from iTunes.  When I got up this morning, it showed up in iTunes (I didn't even have to plug it in).  When I plugged the iPad into my AC charger, iTunes saw it and started a wireless sync.  Go figure.  Maybe it was just a time issue.  I'd done my iPhone yesterday morning and my iPad last night.  Maybe iTunes needs a few hours to actually recognize the wire connection..........

  • Why does iTunes send music via iCloud to my ipad and iPhone, but not music videos

    When I get music via itunes, icloud pushes them to my ios devices, but music videos do not.

    Were the music videos purchased with a different Apple ID than the one you are using for iTunes Match?  If so, I don't believe they are eligible (same is true if the music video was not purchased from the iTunes Store).

  • Gmail Mail/Contacts/Calendar Working with iPhone But Not iPad

    I recently got an iPad Mini and input my "Mail, Contacts, Calendars" settings the same exact way as they are in my iPhone...
    o Exchange account
    o E-mail address is "[X]@gmail.com"
    o Server is "m.google.com"
    o Domain is left blank
    o Username is "[X]@gmail.com"
    o Password is correct
    o Use SSL is turned on
    o S/MIME is turned off
    Nevertheless, when I launch the Mail app in my iPad Mini, I get the message "Cannot Get Mail: The connection to the server failed".  Similarly, my contacts and calendar data haven't synced at all.  I'm not having this issue on my iPhone so am a bit bewildered as to why I'm encountering it on the iPad.
    Anyone know what's going on here?  Thanks in advance!

    Hello there Alex,
    Here is some good info to try and isolate what is not connecting correctly. From iOS: Unable to send or receive email found here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3899.
    If you are unable to send or receive email, try the following steps:
    Restart the iOS device.
    Tap Safari and attempt to load a webpage to ensure that the device has Internet access. If you're unable to load a webpage, try the Wi-Fi assistant.
    Try an alternative Internet connection.
    If your email is provided by your Internet provider, try connecting from the home network.
    If your iOS device has an active cellular data plan, try to disable Wi-Fi:  Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and turn off Wi-Fi.
    If not, try a different Wi-Fi network.
    Log in to your email provider's website to ensure that the account is active and the password is correct.
    Delete the account from Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars and then add the email account again on the iOS device.
    If you're still unable to send or receive email, contact your email provider and verify the account settings are correct. You will need to gather this information (PDF).
    Additional Information
    Using more than one device to check the same POP email account may create a lock-out issue that is easily resolved.
    Take care,
    Sterling

    Google discontinued Exchange support for free Gmail accounts as of 30 January 2013. Devices that were already set up wiht it will continue to work. However, as you've discovered, attempts to set it up on a new device will not. You will need to set up the account as a regular Gmail account.
    To sync your contacts, you need to add a CardDAV account as well:

  • Can I save my pictures as I am in Europe with my ipad and iPhone but the ipad won't charge?

    My photos didn't transfer from my ipad to iPhone.  I am in Europe for 2 more wks. My ipad won't recharge and the battery is draining.

    Your photos will still be there if your iPad turns off. Hopefully you have also turned on photo synching in iCloud? You will also then have them backed up there for at least 30 days. Follow the advice already given. Be sure you're using the proper charger and that your cable is not defective.
