Im trying to connect my ipad 2 to my new airport extreme
but it says ''not connected to the internet'' even though i have full wifi bars. what should i do it works fine on the computer.
The "full bars" indicator just means that your iPad is receiving a strong wireless signal, not that it is connected to the Internet.
Does your iPad have any issues connecting to other Wi-Fis for Internet access or just to your new 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn)?
Regardless, please check out this Apple Support article: iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections

How to connect my iPad, Brother printer, and AirPort Extreme?
How to connect my iPad, Brother printer, and AirPort Extreme?
I don't believe any of the Brother printers are AirPrint-enabled. Is your Brother printer network-ready? That is, does is support either/both a wired or wireless connection or just uses USB to connect?

Problem connecting MacBookPro Core Duo to New Airport extreme
I have just bought a new Airport Extreme and both my Core 2 Duo and G5 iMac connect to the internet fine.
I rent a flat out to tenants downstairs and my tenant shares my internet connection using a number of Macs. However he cannot connect his Core Duo MacBook Pro.
Looking in System Preferences Network I note that it tells me that :
Airport is connected to the network "Internet". Airport has a self assigned IP Address and may not be able to connect to the internet"
Looking under TCP/IP the setting is set to Using DHCP. However rather than having a 10.0.1.200 address it has 169.254.231.100 and the Subnet mask is 255.255.0.0 instead of 255.255.255.0 and it cannot see the router 10.0.1.1.
Any thoughts. Does it need a firmware update or somethingI assume you are not using one of the "n" only settings on the AEBS. With the radio mode set to "n" only, the core duo will not see the base station. This discussion might help-http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=4155162�

I can't connect my ipad to the wireless printer hp photosmart 6520e . Ipad is stating no air printers found. My MacBook and desktop are connected and working well.
S the printer connected to the same Wifi network as the iPad? If so, is it wirelessly connected to it?
That particular pinter model does appear on Apple's list of compatible printers.
About AirPrint
You might want to try to reboot the router and try again as a first step. -
Trying to connect Canon MF6540 via IP to Airport Extreme
I recently purchased an Airport Extreme so I could use the USB port to attach a hard drive to run Time Machine for my two laptops wirelessly. I wanted to connect my Canon MF6540 printer via IP (like I'd done with my old Linksys router).
Unfortunately I've called both Canon and Apple support and neither can help me.
According to the printer network settings the Airport Extreme is not automatically assigning an IP address and I don't know enough about networking to manually assign one.
Can anyone help me?L_O wrote:
I don't know how to ping on a mac - could you help?
Go to your Utilities folder and launch Network Utility. You'll see a tab labeled "ping". Enter the address of the printer and hit the button.
You can also use the Terminal program. It's also in the Utilities folder. Type "ping 10.0.1.200" or whatever address your printer uses. Control-C to quit.
Either of these methods should return something like the following:

10.0.1.100 is the address of my printer. If you're not getting anything like the above there's something wrong with your network connection so that's what we have to fix first.
Wireless security has been turned off but I don't know if that matters since I'm connecting directly via a Cat5 cable.
Correct. Doesn't matter.
Canon's setup utility is only for PC... so I'm out of luck on that.
Are you sure about that? Check the following - they're labeled "drivers" but make sure they're not something you need:

I'm trying to connect my iPad to my tv so that I can mirror whatever is on my iPad. I want to stream movies online and watch on the tv. I have the digital av adapter and an hdmi cable but it's not working. Any tips ?
If this is an iPad 1, it won't mirror, but it will still output video from the 30 Pin dock connector.
If your new TV has a conventional VGA in and stereo inputs you can try this connector.
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC748ZM/A/apple-composite-av-cable?fnode=3a
I used to stream video from both Netflix and YouTube and from my Mac using iTunes sharing through my iPad then with this connector plug into my iPad and TV.
It won't be high resolution, but it will get you picture from iPad to TV.
Good Luck. -
I am trying to connect my ipad to my mac book pro. I want to use the ipad as a software instrument (playing from garage band) and to record in garage band on the mac book. I have plugged the ipad in, turned on the ipad and opened up garage band but the mac book pro has not picked it up. Why? Any suggestions.
Maybe it should, I'm all PC here so I can't actually test it myself. As far as I can recall all the stuff I've read has GarageBand for iOS acting as the recording instrument in the MIDI relationship rather than an input device for something else.
Could be worth posting to GarageBand for iOS Feedback and suggesting it as a feature.

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

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.
Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim

Reboot your router by unplugging it for a couple of minutes, then try it again.

im trying to connect my ipad to my connection at home and its taking the password but still wont connect and doesnt tell me why?? .i even tried to reset network settings
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 the screen blacks out or 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, my guess is that it's a router issue. You'll need to get administrative access to the router and determine if it has a firewall. If one is present, turn it off and test the iPad. If that solves the problem, don't leave it that way. Turn the firewall back on but weaken it a notch and test again. Repeat as required.
For what it's worth, a router firewall can stop iPad communication without affecting computer communication. I do not understand why the difference.
Edit...
I just saw the post from Diavonex. An off/on is certainly worth a shot. Leave it off for ten seconds. -
I'm trying to connect my iPad to my Samsung galaxy s by bluetooth but the ipad will pair with it but not connect and says "its not supported" does anyone know what this means and how I get it to work?
iOS devices do not have the BT profiles that support file sharing and othr general functions. See:

Basically it support headphones, keyboards, speakers, peer-to-peer gaming -

Hi Boscoboi,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
You may need to check the settings for your iTunes Store on the iPad and iPhone.
Sign out of the iTunes account, restart the device and sign back in.
