IOS 8 automatic proxy (iPad 2)

Hi,
I upgraded an iPad 2 to the new iOS 8. I've got 2x second gen iPads side by side and the one running 7.1.2 with an auto proxy can browse fine. The other (running iOS 8) and the same auto proxy URL can not.
Anybody else got this issue?

In our school we use Auto Proxy Discovery to provide the iOS devices the appropriate upstream proxies.
On one VLAN we point to the Proxy PAC file using the URL, on another VLAN we use DNS discovery for WPAD.
Since several of our iPads (Mix of iPad 2s, to Airs) have updated to iOS 8 the devices do not even attempt to request the wpad.dat file off our Webserver.  Nothing else has changed.  iOS 7.x devices are behaving normally.
We're having to manually set proxy settings which is not ideal (as some sites we go DIRECT, others use different proxies/internet links).  Major issue for us.

  • Why is it that when i upgraded to ios 6, my ipad 2 no longer connects to known networks automatically

    why is it that when i upgraded to ios 6, my ipad 2 no longer connects to known networks automatically?

    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.

  • Why are pdf files opened automatically in iPad email. I need to save the pdf file itself.

    Why are pdf files opened automatically in iPad email?  I need to save the pdf file itself, so I can re-read them for later.  ANy fix.  Some pdf files I send are saved as pdf files unopened.

    I have no idea how an iPad works.

  • HT1386 Can i sync multipler iOS devices like iPad, iPhones on the same iTunes? Can each iOS device have different contents which are subsets of the iTunes complete library

    Can i sync multipler iOS devices like iPad, iPhones on the same iTunes? Can each iOS device have different contents which are subsets of the iTunes complete library

    You can share a library with as many devices as you want but they cannot have seperate subsets like you wish. They would all have access to all information in the library. You could "Manually" sync content to each device by doing the following:
    On Mac: iTunes > Preferences > Devices Tab > Put a check in the box next to sentence that says "Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically > Then click ok.
    On Pc: Edit > Preferences > Devices Tab > Put a check in the box next to sentence that says "Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically > Then click ok.
    To manually sync data from iTunes to devices see article below:
     http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1351
    If you do not want all devices to have access to all the media from the main library, you would need to create a library for each device. See the article below for more info:

    Hope this helps.

  • Bug em papeis de parede iOS 7 no iPad 3

    Oi pessoal! Eu estive chateado com o iOS 7 no iPad 3 por causa de uma lentidão e travamentos quando girava a tela do aparelho, então descobri que se usar papeis de parede nativos do sistema e estáticos os travamentos, quando se retorna a aplicações minimizadas e se vira a tela do aparelho, diminuem.
    No sistema existem outros bugs como desativar a sincronia de Documentos/Dados no iCloud diminui lentidão do teclado.
    Alguém sabe como avisar à Apple sobre isso para que consertem por favor?
    Agradeço desde já a resposta de vocês! Deus os abençoe!

    Ninguém pode me responder uma pergunta simples?

  • On iOS 7 on iPad mini how do I reset restrictions?

    On iOS 7 on iPad mini how do I reset restrictions? I forgot the password and can not disable them

    You have to restore the iPad to factory settings without using the back - if the backup contains the password for restrictions. If the backup does not contain the password, you can use it. But remember that if you use that backup, you turn back the clock on the iPad to the date and time that the backup was created and you lose everything that you have acquired with regard to data and photos since then.
    However, when you restore to factory settings, you erase the iPad complete and will have to start all over again. Much of your paid content can be downloaded again for free as long as you use the same Apple ID.
    Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings

  • Since updating to iOS 8 my iPad 4th Generation wont synch any media like music or movies, just artworks of the music I already have

    Since I updated to iOS 8 my iPad 4th generation my iPad wont synch any media like music, movies or TV shows. It always starts to synch like any normal iPad but just when its stars to transfer the movies, music or what ever new media I want to get on the iPad, it instantly restarts the synch, and the only thing it does is synch the artworks for the music and movies, but I does not transfer any media. I have restored my iPad 4 times, nothing different, I have reinstated iTunes on my PC 3 times, nothing changed and I dont know what to do.

  • Unable to update my  iOS on my iPad and iPhone.

    I am unable to update my iOS on my iPad and iPhone. Though I have had these devices and have been updating for over a year, the issue just started with this new release (iOS 5.1).
    When I connect my Pad and Phone to iTunes (Windows PC with Vista), I am told that an update is available. When I update, iTunes tries to connect to a server. Then I receive the message, "There was a problem downloading the software for the iPad. The network connection could nopt be established."
    When I try to update the devices iOS using WiFi directly (not connected to iTunes). The devices say, "Checking for Update..." and does not connect. It says, "Unable to check for update...An error occurred while checking for a software update...Cancel or Try Again"

    I solved this by downlading the iOS update via wi-fi at another location other than my home. I would still like to know why this download did not work at my home as it has for over a year. I have made no changes in my firewall or security settings.

  • Why does iTunes no longer open automatically when iPad is connected?

    Why does iTunes no longer open automatically when iPad is connected? and iPhone as well?  Setting to "auto open" is selected, but iTunes will not open automatically. Problem seems to have begun with upgrade to Lion.

    Good luck getting an answer...I posted the same question a day ago.   I can only assume it's a glitch in iTunes 10.5.

  • After upgrade to iOS 8, My ipad is getting shut down intermediately.

    After upgrade to iOS 8, My ipad is getting shut down intermediately. Even while surfing net also it happens. Earlier I thought it may be due to any software/game which is not compatible. But it happens during surfing net on Safri. No option to move back to iOS 7.

    Hi BalajiPrusty,
    If your iPad shuts down intermittently, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article - 
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting - note: the article is for iPhones but this section is relevant to iPads as well.
    Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
    Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
    Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
    Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
    After at least 30 minutes, if:
    The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
    The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
    Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
    If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
    If the display turns on, go to step 4.
    If the display remains black, go to next step.
    Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
    If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Best,
    Brett L 

  • Can't access mail after ios 8 Update- iPad 2

    Updated to ios 8 on iPad 2. Tonight mail app has ben crashing after it trys to open. Repeatedly. Everything was working fine before upgrade and now having issues with mail, slow to open anything in Safari, poor wifi connection, etc. I feel like an idiot for trusting the upgrade, should have known better!! Genius Bar appointments are booked out a week and chat wants to charge me $19 to get with them. I feel like going back to Windows!! Terrible support from Apple!!!

    Because Apple does not participate in the forum. That was indicated in the information that you agreed to when you joined the ASC. If you want to ask a question and describe your problem, maybe someone will answer. If you would like to speak with Apple, then you need to use the Contact Us link on the bottom of each page here.
    And in your original post, you indicate that you solved the problem. In regards to your final question there, I would say the problem lies with your email provider. They determine what settings are necessary to access and use their email. If the account would not work with SSL on, and works with it turned off, that indicates they do not use SSL. I would be leery about an email provider that does not use some type of security.

  • I have installed the latest version of iOS in my ipad but forgot to backup the content, what should i do!!! I don't want my media and other data erased, how can i find back all the data in my ipad? I haven't restore ipad yet, so any others way can be use?

    Once you are in Recovery Mode, it's too late to do any backup. I am afraid you are going to lose your data.
