IOS 8.1 WiFi issues on iPad Air

Dear Apple Support Community,
I wonder, if anyone else has the same issue as me:
If I don't use my iPad Air I turn the Fly Mode on. If I use it I turn it off and the iPad is connecting itself to my WiFi network. After some seconds the WiFi connection is interrupted and it taked some seconds to definitely connects itself again and finally to the WiFi network.
My iPhone 5s (iOS 8.1) or my MacBook Pro (OS X 10.10) do not have this issue.
Also my WiFi connection is good and stable. The issue appears since my iPad Air uses iOS 8.
In advance I thank you for any help.

I can't get Apple TV mirroring to work from any of my iOS devices (Ipad2, iPhone 5 and iPad air).

I can't get mirroring to work from any of my iOS devices (Ipad2, iPhone 5 and iPad air). I click on airplay, and select mirroring, but nothing appears on the tv screen and the connection with the Apple TV drops off after 5 seconds. Any ideas why

Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
    1.    Check AirPlay is turned on on the Apple TV (turn it off and on if it already is)
    2.    Check that both devices are on the same network (Settings > Wifi, on the mobile device and Settings > General > Network, on the Apple TV).
    3.    Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
    4.    Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
    5.    Restart your router. (Also try removing it’s power cord for at least 30 seconds)
    6.    Restart your mobile device.

TS3988 My wife bought an iPad Air and synced contact from our PC (Outlook), now all our contacts in Outlook have gone and we have to go to iCloud to get them, and even then they are a bit jumbled. How do I get my data back onto my PC?

My wife bought an iPad Air and synced contact from our PC (Outlook), now all our contacts in Outlook have gone and we have to go to iCloud to get them, and even then they are a bit jumbled. How do I get my data back onto my PC?

If you can see the iCloud contacts in Outlook, you can copy them back to your PC by selecting all the contacts (click one, then press Control-A), then drag and drop the selected contacts to Contacts under My Contacts on the left sidebar of Outlook.
If you want to copy your calendar back to Outlook, select your iCloud calendar on the left sidebar of Outlook, switch to the list view (select View from the ribbon, then click Change View>List), select your events (click on a single event, then press Control-A), then control drag and drop them to Calendar under My Calendars on the left sidebar.
Then you can sign out of iCloud on the iCloud control panel and your local copies will still be there. If you want to add your iCloud email account back to iCloud, you can do this with these settings: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4864.

Mifi devices are usually quite small. Think Credit Card size, and maybe slightly thicker. So not really a big device you need to carry around.
In any case if you are still within the 14 day return period you may be able to return it to an Apple retail store. It needs to be an Apple Owned store, not sure Authorized Resellers will let you do it.
Other than that, bob points out, you may want to try to use the iPhone as a hotspot for the iPad. If your Carrier supports it. Like the Mifi device, the iPhone will share its cellular internet connection out to other devices over a Wireless network the iPad can use.

Safari ios7 issues on iPad Air - can't open new tabs - + sign closes app

Safari ios7 issues on iPad Air - can't open new tabs or view other tabs.
The + sign just closes the app every single time!
In some cases, the back and forward buttons don't work.
It's driving me crazy becuase if the webpage I'm on opens and ad or tab that I don't want to look at, I can't close it and go back, I have to retype the web address in and find where I was on the site!

I, too, tried all the fixes...nothing worked.
Found another thread on this forum and looks like a lot of us are having same problem.
Next time it happens, go to SETTINGS/GENERAL/ABOUT and check to see it there is a "low memory" incident report.
If there is:
See the discussion thread "iPad Air Low Memory Crashes".
Seems to be common....this could turn into a HUGH issue.

How to fix wifi issues on ipad 2 under ios 8.3

SIgnal of wifi from my router is great diminished under my update on ios8.3 on my ipad 2

Thanks for this guidance. However, what concerns me is that I did not have these problems until I upgraded to IOS 8. First to version upgrade 8.1 and to see if my problems would be resolved, the other day I upgraded to IOS 8.3. I still have problems with being dropped off of the wifi network in my house. More discouraging is the fact that the strength of the signal to my Ipad 2 is LESS than in the past (only one bar). Then I often get kicked off the system and have to go into it again. My newer Iphone 5C continues to have a strong wifi signal even if I am sitting in the same chair. Very odd...
I know a lot of people are having issues with the IOS 8 and various upgrades. My ipad 2 is older, and I am considering purchasing a newer version like Ipad Air 2. Do you think a newer device like that would give me good internet connection and strong signal as I had before?
Thanks for listening....

Issues after updating ios 7.1.1 on my iPad Air

I just updated my iPad Air (32GB) this morning to ios 7.1.1 from 7.1. After updating, my iPad Air just went into recovery mode... I have more than 26GB data in my iPad Air... I tried several ways to reboot the iPad. But I still cannot turn my iPad normal... It's very very very disappointing because I have to connect to iTunes and erase all my data in order to get the iPad functional... That's so disappointing!

Anyone else having issues with iPad Air touch screen x y positioning inaccuracy?

I have a 128GB WiFi Cellular iPad Air with IOS 7.0.3 installed. I have noticed, especially with the Photos app, that where you touch on the screen isnt exactly what is returned by the iPad. For example, if I want to view a photo in a display of a series of thumbnails I have to actually touch the photo to the left of the one I want to view. If I touch the one I want to view, the one to the right expands to full screen. I am hoping this is just a software issue. If not, then this one is going to be returned while I still have time in the initial 30 day window.

Well, I think I figured out the problem. I had a pdf file somehow loaded into the camera roll. All images before the pdf were opening appropriately, but the ones ater that file were always shifted to the right. I deleted the pdf file and now they all open correctly.

Why am I getting "failed to download iOS 8.11." Error? (iPad Air)

I've been trying to upgrade my iPad Air to iOS 8.1 for the past two days but i keep getting download errors to the effect of "failed to download iOS 8.1".
I've tried direct update from my iPad and via iTunes on my MBP 2011 and get the same error on both.
I don't think its my intermet connection as I've downloaded Yosemite since i started getting the errors with no problem.
There is over 7GB free space on the iPad so it's not a space issue.
Any ideas?

Hi Are you using a PC or Downloading over wifi I never use a PC for downloads Try a Reboot press & hold down power button & menu button hold both down until You see Apple Logo Then try download over your wifi If this doesn't work Rest ipad back to Factory Settings This will get rid of any bugs Then just sign in with same Apple ID then you will get al your Apps & data back Then download iOS 8.1 Cheers Brian

Loosing wifi on the iPad Air

Loosing wifi for a time on my iPad Air while still receiving wifi on my iPad Two?

Hello Pennyspain22
Try out the troubleshooting steps in the article below. Start with forgetting the network that the iPad auto connects and then rejoining it. You may also need to reset the network setting on your iPad.

Wifi dropping on iPad Air after iOS8 update

SInce updating to iOS8 my wifi on iPad Air is persistently dropping (using all apps. Restarts and power offs are needed. This is extremely annoying. Anyone else with same issue?

Go to Settings
then Cellular
you will see Cellular data network
there, you will see the option for Cellular data APN User name and password
then
LTE setup(optional) : APN User name and password
MMS:APN User name and password
But all the way down you will see the option for Personal hotspot...
there you have to put APN if you know the APN for your carrier
then go back to cellular again and wait for sometime.
you will surely get Hotspot option.

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.

FaceTime volume issue between iPad Air and iPad 2

I've noticed that when making FaceTime calls between iPad Air and iPad 2, the volume on iPad 2 is too soft and the volume on iPad Air is too loud. This only occurs between 2 different type of iPads. If both parties use the same type, the volumes on both sides are roughly the same and loud enough to be heard clearly. I've also verified with Skype which produced roughly the same loudness when video calling between an iPad Air and an iPad 2.
Just hope Apple can take notice of this issue and rectify in the new iOS release.

Yeah, what's up with this? I too have PDF's I want to sync between iPhone5s and new iPadAir. I'm not having luck!. You would think it would be SIMPLE!
