I have a wifi signal but says it cannot connect to server
What are you looking for on the server?
What application on the iPad are you using to connect to the server?
In many cases, you will need additional applications.

My iCloud email on iPad keeps saying it won't connect to server.
My iCloud email on iPad keeps saying it won't connect to server. Tried removing and adding iCloud back on device already. Says last update was Thursday (3 days ago). I don't use this email much but got a few emails and attachments I need for work from that address. I logged in online from another computer and it worked. Any ideas how to fix this now? I do get email from other accounts and do have internet connection.

Also, when I tried to connect my iPod to my MacBook Pro, and sync it into iTunes, 'iTunes could not connect to this iPhone.' First it's not an iPhone, and second, my iPod could sync perfectly fine before the wifi problem. Is there a way to return it back to normal; fix it? Someone please answer.
Does the iOS device connect to other networks?
Does the iOS device see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iOS device connect before?
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on your router
.- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

About 3 days ago the wifi started to be very weak in my room until it just stopped connecting. The Macbook picks up the wifi signal, but when I try to connect it says "a connection timeout occurred". If I bring the laptop about 10 feet closer to the router (I'm the farthest room in the house from the router), it will pick up the signal and connect to the internet and be able to load pages. If I then bring the laptop back into my room, it will still say it's connected to the wifi, but it won't be able to load any web pages until it just disconnects itself from the wifi. When I run diagnostics on this, the wifi and settings is green, but the ISP is yellow until it just turns red. So the Wifi signal reaches my room, but the internet doesn't?
I've also made sure nothing in my room is interfering with the wifi, and the same thing happens on my iPad. The router is also in the same place it's been in the past month, and I've tried moving it about 5 feet closer, but it doesn't help and I can't move it any further.
How can I fix this problem? Is it just my router/modem, or is it some sort of settings on my Macbook?If your iPad and MacBook operate normally when close to the router, then it is most likely a signal strength issue. Here are a couple articles to help you evaluate your signal strength on the Mac:

http://thenextweb.com/apple/2014/03/13/better-wi-fi-statistics-analytics-built-r ight-mac-os-x/
You said you confirmed that there are no other devices which might interfere such as a microwave, but please review
http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/collateral/wireless/spectrum-expert-wi-fi/ prod_white_paper0900aecd807395a9.html.
Could anything around your house have changed? Did you add any wifi devices or moved the location of other items which might cause interference?
Another possibility is external interference. Do you have a neighbor close by? Could they have added a wifi router or something else that might be the source of the problem?
If you have a cable router/wifi combo unit, could your cable provider have updated the firmware? Maybe try rebooting the routiner. -
I'm lost with my new "used" iPod touch 4th gen. Just downloaded iOS 6; seems to be trying to access a WIFI signal but I have it hard wired into my MAC and I do not have WIFI. Need iPod for dummies - very basic and simple help.
On the computer you should be able to go to the network properites. Go to the TCP part and unchec the line that says obtaind DNS automatically and check the one that says use the following. Add the 8.8.8.8 and Google other 8.8.4.4.

I just got a new iPhone, and i need to restore it. But my phone won't connect to WiFi and i'm AT HOME. It just says LTE. Why is this??

I have a new HP Officejet 6500A plus. I cannot get it to connect to my Airport Extreme V5.6. It see the wifi signal but Fails on "Filtering" and possibly the channel. Does anyone know how to reset or reconfigure filtering and channel on the old airports?
This is a part of the larger MacBook Pro connectivity issue. There are several related threads dealing with the MBP's networking problems. If your unit is suffering from this type of difficulty, good luck ... (or a long ethernet cable)
(PS Everybody please make noise on this one so apple comes up with a solution.)

Have base station and added extender for downstairs. Worked great upon initial setup, but now it won't connect despite an "excellent" signal. All i get is a blinking amber light; only get green if I bring it into the same room as the base. Both units are the latest models; purchased 2 months ago. What's wrong? Thanks!!
Power off both the AirPort Extreme and AirPort Express
Wait a minute
Power up the AirPort Extreme and let it run for a few minutes
Now locate the AirPort Express about half way between the AirPort Extreme and the general area where you need more wireless signal coverage, and report on your results.
The more that you can minimize obstructions between the AirPorts like walls, ceilings, etc. the better the wireless will operate. -
I have changed to AT&T U-verse, which has a new modem and router combined. Safari 5.1.10 will not recognize the wifi signal, but Foxfire will. What settings do I need to change on Safari?
Hello SalsburgD
The first thing I would check is to make sure that the router is using the recommended settings to get online. Another troubleshooting step is to create a new Network Location and then join your network to see if that changes things.

I can't sign into face time. My account has been verified and I have full wifi signal but it comes up with check network connection how to i fix this?
What IP does your iPad show as having?
Try a reset. Press & hold the Power and Home buttons together for 10+ seconds, ignoring the red power-off slider, until you see the Apple logo.
Some folks have discovered that changing their DNS service fixes FaceTime connection issues.
The ideal way is to configure your modem/router with DNS service, but often settings in System Preferences/Network on your Mac will override the router settings. Try either of these;
OpenDNS
208.67.222.222, 208.67.220.220
Google Public DNS
8.8.8.8. 8.8.4.4 -
I just got Apple TV it is working great but I can't get it to pair with my ipad2, they both search and the ipad says it is discoverable but they just won't connect. All my iCloud stuff has appeared successfully onto the apple TV
My sister in America has paired hers so it means you can use it instead of the remote it is much better when searching for a movie title or song

Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

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)
