I got an ipad2 for Christmas but I am unable to connect to itunes
I have downloaded OS 5.0.1 and restored factory settings. I can connect to the internet without problems, but when I try to connect to the app store or itunes the asterisk just keeps spinning and it says "loading" until eventually it says it cannot connect to the server. Without these it is basically a $600 PDA. If it matters, it is a 32gig WiFi 3G model. Can someone please help or is it defective. I have contacted Apple support and they will get back "within 48 hours". It will probably be returned before then
Assuming you've created a proper Apple ID and filled out all of the info from iTunes on your computer, you should be able to access the iTunes app and App Store App on your iPad.
Before going to exchange this for another tablet, at this point, I am at a loss for a fix, but there is one more thing we can try. If this doesn't help, if you have , reasonable, access to an Apple Store, I would and see if they can fix the issues you're having and/or see if they can give you a replacement if they feel it's defective.
They, also, maybe able to get your iPaf working from the store since most Apple store have Wifi access.
If your iPad works fine there, you know you have a problem at home with your computer and/or Wifi setup.
I forgot to ask if you're using a PC or Mac, if using a PC, you need to, temporarily, disable virus protection and any firewalls before activating your iPad. Return the iPad to its factory condition, then try hooking up the iPad to your computer, again, to start the activation and loading process, again.
If successful, then try using over Wifi, again to see if this clears up any issues. If still the same issues, it could be issues with your WiFi router. I believe, when using an iPad, you need to disable any firewalls that are setup in the router and may have to adjust the router's settings. You can keep any internal firewalls on your computer, but I believe that firewall security at the router level will prevent the iPad from working properly.
If this still fails, if your iPad is fully operational, try doing a reset, by holding down the home button and the iPad's on/off button until the iPad shuts down and restarts itself.
This is all I got, if still no go with any of this, take it to the nearest Apple retail store and see if they can get it to work or replace it there. The staff at the store will be able to help.
I forgot to mention, if you don't want to wait a long time, call your nearest Apple retail ahead of time to make an appointment at the Genius Bar to have this looked at.
Here's some info about troubleshooting Wifi/router issues if your iPad is still wonky.

My iPad 2 is stuck at "Connected to iTunes" part and won't move on...
I'm tryin to restore my ipad but it's stuck on 'Connected to iTunes' with the picture of the cable and iTunes..
It's connected to iTunes but nothing is showing up.. What should I do?The iTunes icon and cable mean that it's gone into recovery mode : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
You will need to connect the iPad to your computer's iTunes and you should be able to use it to reset the iPad, and you can then restore/resync your content to it. -

Sahil bhatejaHi，
So switch a LAN card fix this issue...seems a compatibility issue or maybe some packs or programs you installed recently cause this issue.
Have you manually check the network adapter driver from the PC's manufacture website? sometimes, it will be a time delay before Microsoft push out the driver update.
Check if issue exists in safemode with network, this mode will launch Windows with limited sets of files and drivers.
if you have a restore point, restore the pc to a previous point at which the pc is functioning fine.

Many of the internet radio stations that I usually listen to are no longer working. When I click on them, they either get stuck in connecting or just jump to the next station below. What gives?
Same thing here. Always listened to 96.9 The Eagle but not anymore. Skipped to the next station down.
This is one of many. What's going on?

Internet sharing works but the DNS part doesn't
I'm posting this message because I believe it is a bit different from other 'Lion internet sharing' posts in terms of the source of sharing and also the results I get.
Similar to other users experiencing the same problem, my internet sharing setup stopped working as expected after upgrading to Lion. However, I can't say it stopped working completely. It still does work but the DNS part doesn't. This means I can still perform pings, ssh and socket connections from computers using the shared connection. But I cannot browse the internet because web site names can't be resolved.
For example, my MacPro has two Ethernet interfaces. On one of them (en0) I vpn when connecting to work using a VPN service I created via System Preferences => Network. I used to share that VPN connection to computers using the 2nd one (en1). The other computers are linked to (en1) through a multiport hub. This setup used to work flawlessly in Snow Leopard and multiple users could use the shared vpn internet connection.
After the upgrade to Lion I can still see other computers on the local network and also ping any external internet site. I can even use Safari and navigate my ISP's home page using its IP address only. However, DNS doesn't work and internet domains cannot be resolved by name so internet browsing is not possible.
Furthermore, when I don't VPN to work but simply share the connection to the internet from (en0) to computers using (en1) everything works as it used to in Snow Leopard. The difference here is that the same DNS servers are used by both network services.
So far I'm stuck with these findings and I don't know where else to look for answers. Any input or feedback is greatly appreciated.I've to admit that i don't even know what VPN means.. but..
I have an 27" iMac (mid 2010), a iPhone 4 and a Macbook Pro 13" (mid 2009) .. and i used to share my ethernet connection to wi-fi on Snow Leopard. Since i upgraded to Lion (i'm using it since the first DP, and i think the internet sharing was working under the 1st DP .. i'm not pretty sure), it just doesn't work.
Just like solongpc, it does activate the internet sharing, my other devices can see and connect but neither of then (my iMac - host or my mbp and iphone) can navigate on the internet. And when i turn off my internet sharing (on my iMac), it still not acessing any website.. and i've to restart my moden. -
Unable to view external webcam content. I'm using IE11 with Windows 7 64 bit. I've tried deactivating Activex control, tried different browsers etc, tweeked the tools for trusted sites etc, but am totally stuck. I know the cams are working as i can view them on mobile phone via puffin browser. I can play Youtube videos etc just fine. So why not the webcam?
First, confirm that ActiveX Filtering is configured to allow Flash content:
https://forums.adobe.com/thread/867968
Internet Explorer 11 introduces a number of changes both to how the browser identifies itself to remote web servers, and to how it processes JavaScript intended to target behaviors specific to Internet Explorer. Unfortunately, this means that content on some sites will be broken until the content provider changes their site to conform to the new development approach required by modern versions of IE.
You can try to work around these issues by using Compatibility View:

If that is too inconvenient, using Google Chrome may be a preferable alternative. -
My iMac seems to have frozen during the update- how long should I expect the update to take? The 'installing software update' bar is still showing itself working but has been stuck in the same position for over an hour. Any thoughts?
Update2: There is something very wrong with wireless on mountain lion recovery. I don't know what the problem is, but this link may explain:
http://osxdaily.com/2012/08/10/os-x-mountain-lion-10-8-1-beta-released-for-dev-t esting-may-include-wi-fi-fix/
Wireless recovery would start out with over 25 hours estimated and kept on failing. It turns out to be a two step process of downloading a few Mbytes then a 4Gbyte .dmg file, but I couldn't even download the Mbyte file. I bought the thunderbolt to gigabit ethernet adapter, plugged it in, restarted recovery and download of a little more than 4Gbytes took less than an hour. My limiting factor was probably comcast home internet rate of 12Mbps. The wi-fi wireless connection should be able to do over 100Mbps, so wireless shouldn't be much slower than wired, except wi-fi wireless is broken. Now that ML is installed and updated, wi-fi seems fine now, as I am using it right now, but I haven't tried downloading a big file yet.
Don't use wi-fi wireless for Mountain Lion recovery. -
Skype 7.7 Not connecting to internet
When I first bought my new computer, I downloaded Skype and it worked perfectly. When I updated Skype, my calls started getting worse connection and then flat out Skype not connecting to the internet anymore. I check to see if my internet was down, but I could load up games and websites just fine. I've tried all the troubleshootings I've seen and nothing has worked, I need some help. Thank you.

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.
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.

Firefox will connect to internet/load pages but Safari won't!
This is a larger issue but I thought I'd put it here since the Safari aspect is what bothers me the most.
I've done a lot of fiddling around with my network connection settings trying to connect to a dialup connection shared through a wireless router (the less said about that, the better). In the process of trying to get that working I've done something to my settings that has limited the ability of certain apps to connect to the internet. Since discovering the problem I've tried 6 different wifi networks and the result is the same:
I can connect to:
Firefox (browsing just fine)
Azureus
Skype
I CAN'T connect to:
iTunes
Mail
Safari
Essentially, I have no idea what I've done and how to fix it! I'm using Tiger so no Time Machine. A couple strange things have happened since this has started. When I try to connect to certain wireless networks keychain asks for permission to use the passwords for all the previous networks I've been connecting to. So I went into Keychain to see if I can delete the saved passwords for these networks (I no longer use them) and I get the following error: 100013 An error occured while deleting "Network Name".
Is there some way to delete the locations in Network Prefs and start over? Any other ideas on what exactly is going on?
Thanks!Hi
Welcome to Apple Discussions
Your questions is broader than just Safari. I suggest you repost it in the Tiger Getting On-Line & Networking forum. Someone there, knowledgeable about these kind of network issues, will help you.
Good Luck -
I wanted to update my iPad 2 from 4.3 to the latest update but I got stuck in the restoring step. I couldn't restore the iPad.
The error message"The iPad cannot be restored at this time because the iPad software update server couldn't be contacted or is temprorily unavailable"Hello someone9,
There are a few possible causes for this issue, sometimes it is related to Security Software, other times it is related to the internet connection. Let's follow the steps below:
iOS: Resolving update and restore alert messages
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1275
Unable to contact the iOS software update server gs.apple.com
Error 1004, 1013, 1638, 3014, 3194: These errors may be the result of the connection to gs.apple.com being redirected or blocked. Follow these steps to resolve these errors:
- Install the latest version of iTunes.
- Check security software. Ensure that communication to gs.apple.com is allowed. Follow this article for assistance with security software. iTunes for Windows: Troubleshooting security software issues.
- Check the hosts file. The restore will fail if there is an active entry to redirect gs.apple.com. Follow iTunes: Advanced iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting to edit the hosts file or revert to a default hosts file. See section "Blocked by configuration: (Mac OS X/Windows) > Rebuild network information".
- Try to restore from another known-good computer and network.
- If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.

Safari and firefox stop working after a few minutes of browsing, regardless of what site I'm on. I have to restart my computer to get internet access again but it only works for a few more minutes, then I have to restart again. I don't get a spinning ball, it just stops working at whatever page it's on. I can close the program just fine but when I re-open it, either safari or firefox, it freezes trying to load the hompage. This started a few days ago after trying to stream a movie on my computer. I'm on a Mac Air OS X Version 10.6.8 and have downloaded all updates. When I go into finder, it says I have over 80 gigs available. Is there some other memory cache that I need to check? Thanks so much for your help.

It's not a router problem as I explained in my post. If it was a router problem then I wouldn't have the problem everywhere I go. It is an issue with the software.
Then I guess the millions of people running 10.5.7 with no issues are just hallucinating that their machines are working fine?
I'm not trying to belittle your issues; you're certainly having them and I know first hand how annoying an intermittent AirPort issue can be. (In fact, mine was due to an AirPort driver bug that no one else seemed to suffer from.)
The single best diagnostic you could do is take your system running 10.5.7 to an Apple Store, and try using their in-store network.
If your machine performs flawlessly, it may be a router issue.
If your machine has connectivity issues there, it may be a hardware problem with your machine.
There have been numerous people in multiple threads over the years who swore that an update was buggy because things used to work, but returned later to sheepishly admit that they took their machine in, a problem was found and fixed, and now their Mac works flawlessly with the newer software.
But simply reinstalling 10.5.5 in no way means the explanation of how firmware bugs may be at play here is incorrect.
In the context of that explanation, all you've done is possibly reinstall software that asks to add "2 + 3."
