IPad 2 - 3g network problem

Hi.
I've upgraded my iPad to the newest iOS version and since then, whenever I use wifi, the 3G connection stops working until I shutdown and connect the iPad again. That never occured to me before, so I'm pretty sure that's an iOS problem. I wonder if Apple is aware of this problem, what causes it and if they plan to fix it.
kind regards

Hi,
I think im having the same issue.
I have exactly the same model.
It works fine on wifi, works with tether connection, it works with a SIM but only on EDGE.
It happens since it was on the IOS 4.* / I just updated to IOS 5.1.1 and I saw it show 3G for a second.
I've tried reset, network reset, turining on and off the player and also the airplane mode.
I check and change the APN, no luck...
Yes... I also tried turning on and off with and without the sim card.
I also tried moving this SIM to my phone (iPhone 4), and it gets 3G signal right away (no reset or ON-OFF needed)
Any suggestions. Anyone? =D
Thanks!!!

Ipad in WDS network: problems with roaming

We have a WIFI-network with several remote wifi-stations. Using an iPad, we have problems when moving within the network to pick up the stronger signal from a close-by station. Instead, the iPad keeps the previous station till it gets so week it drops the connection.
It looks, we had a problem with 3.0, then it seemed to become much better in iOS 3.2, now with 3.3. it got bad again.
Any experience or better idea how to get a reliable connection when moving within the wifi-network-area?

you did not say what router you are using. i am asuming you have 2 apple airport base stations, one named lab1 and the other is lab2.
if you want your ipad to steer to the nearest base station you need to run an ethernet cable between lab1 and lab2 on lab1 you set airport utility to "allow this network to be extended" and on lab2 yoiu run airport utillity and set it to "join an existing network", there should be a setting there"connect with ethernet".. once this is properly setup, the ipad should automatically steer to the access point that has the strongest signal
also on lab2, you want to set it to ""allow wireless clients". if that is not checked, then the ipad cannot join it.
if you are not using apple airport extremes or apple airport expresses in your network, then your probably posting on the wrong forum. and you would need to go to that manufactures website to see how to setup their wireless routers to wds.

How do I print from an iPad to a network attached printer on my home wifi network

I am trying to print documents (ie pdf) from my ipad to a printer that is attached to my network via ethernet cable. The printer is NOT an AirPrint type printer but I can print via wifi from my laptop to it without having to have my mac desktop turned on. Everything I have read about the apps in the app store all say I can print to any printer on my network "via a mac or PC". How do I print directly to the printer since the ipad and the printer are on the same network...

Thx for the suggestion, but it defeats the purpose by having to have my desktop computer running. I am looking for an app or hardware device that will allow me to print directly from my Ipad to my printers without having to turn on a computer to do it.
I have tried the Lantronix xprint server and while it works with my older Brother Laser it does not work with my newer Kodak ESP Office 6150 (and it doesn't look like they are even interested in attempting to write support for it into their printer list)
I have tried every app in the app store and none of them do the job WITHOUT having to have a computer running on the network.
Let me re-state the problem...
I want to print from either my Iphone 4 or my original version Ipad to my network attached printers without having to have a computer running on the network to do it. I have a Brother HL-5150D laser printer hooked to my apple airport extreme's usb port and a Kodak ESP Office 6150 connected to the network via WiFi. How can I do this.

I receive the following error message when trying to download and update my software on my iPod touch and iPad - "there was a problem downloading the software for the iPad/iPod "Mikki's iPad". T

When trying to download and update the operating system software for my iPad and iPod I get the following message - "ERROR MESSAGE" There was a problem downloading the software for the iPad "Mikki's iPad". The network connection timed out. Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, or try again. later." Is this a setting on my computer - my network is working fine. I didn't have any trouble before but have just started having trouble. Please help...

Hi Robertfrom Denver.
Did you try the solution given, and if yes, did it work?
I have done several "attempted downloads, and see the full file download, typically taking 30 minutes to complete, and then something goes wrong.
I am happy to suspend AV and FW software, but would like to know if it is a good fix or not first?

Network problems with Apple TV 3 - streaming / home share etc

My setup:
iMac (21", mid-2011) running OS X 10.7.3 and iTunes 10.6
Apple TV 3
Apple Airport Extreme router
BT HomeHub 3
HomeHub is used as a modem (ADSL), wired connection into the Airport Extreme which then provides my wireless network.
Apple TV set up last Friday (launch day). I have it set to use home-sharing with iTunes, and have tried the YouTube channel. Not tried using the iTunes Store direct.
Initially had problems with 'streaming' video from iTunes using home-sharing, buffering either took a VERY long time or simply didn't happen at all. After a reset, updating OS X, iTunes, Airport Extreme firmware etc etc it started to work fairly well. Also tried streaming video direct on the YouTube channel (very fast, no buffering delay at all) and using AirPlay from an iPad (again, no problem).
Tonight, everything appears to be broken. Home sharing from iTunes has taken 2 minutes to buffer 30 seconds of video; YouTube similar; AirPlay from the iPad doesn't appear to be streaming at all.
Have tried re-starting iTunes; re-starting the Airport Extreme; re-starting the Apple TV. Nothing changing.
Help?!

I don't have an answer for this, unfortunately. I've even had my Apple TV replaced (yesterday), and after about an hour of normal operation, it now fails to connect to servers, or connects intermittently and poorly, and it can no longer connect to the iOS Remote app. These are the exact symptoms that prompted the Genius Bar to replace the original unit.
Either there is a basic flaw in Apple TV, or I'm extremely unlucky. All my other Mac and iOS devices have positively no network problems. Very frustrating.
WiFi is provided by a late-model AirPort Extreme.

I can't connect to the router in my home. Things were working fine as usual - I attended school and connected to their WiFi network as usual. When I returned home I could not connect to my own home router. The Ipad seeks the network but nothing happens

I can't connect to the router in my home. The Ipad seeks the network but nothing happens. I went to school and connected to their WiFi network as usual with no problems. When I returned home I could not connect to my home router. The Ipad seeks the router number but nothing happens. I rebooted the Ipad a few times in the school. The numbers identifying the router, etc. on my Ipad no longer appear there.
TThe Ipad guide says to connect to the WiFi use setup but I can't find the setup program in the Ipad.
I reset the network settings to the factory defaults but this doesn't fix the problem.
What can I do to reconnect to my home router?

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

printing to a non-airprinter from an iPad
To print from the iPad, your going to have to install some more software:
-- install a printer app on the ipad. many printer makers have iPad applications for their printers. Look in the app store
-- install enabling software on a computer which you have connected the printer
For a comprehensive list of links, see Texas Mac Man list:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/21291967#21291967
There are iPad Print Applications supplied by printer manufactures -- usually free. Check for your prineter.
Helper app -- /print n share
Print directly to the widest range of network or WiFi printers available in any app. Alternatively print via your computer to ALL printers including USB & Bluetooth printers. View read and display large PDF, Office & iWork files. Easily transfer & store files from the Cloud or your computer.

I need help with IPad new update. Problem with download.

Trying to update my IPad and I keep getting message after it is done downloading. "There was a problem downloading the software for IPad. The network connection timed out. Make sure network settings is active." I have my IPad set to never turn off. Can someone help me with this problem?

Have you tried temporarily turning off your firewall and antivirus software until the download has completed ?

Wifi is working and accessible on my IPad and IPhone but can not connect with another iPad. I've tried all the listed fixes, forget network reentering password. The iPad sees the network but the wheel keeps spinning. Help thanks.

Wifi working on 1 iPad and iPhone but not on another IPad (same model). All posted fixes tried with no help. The iPad recognizes the network but the wheel keeps spinning. Any help is greatly appreciated.

first step would be reboot
http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/assistant/phone/#section_1 the cure for most ios ills
then I would troubleshoot by taking it to another wifi network to see if it had problems in general with wifi
then if it did not then I would try to update the firmware of my wifi router for better compatability

Ipad iOS5 upgrade wifi problem

Hi, since I've upgraded my Ipad 1 to iOS 5, I can no longer connect to my wifi network.
Everything was fine until the upgrade.
The Ipad sees the network but can't connect.
If anyone has already experienced this problem, I would appreciate some help
Thank you

The long and short of it is that you will probably have to restore your iPad. That giant "other" space is a sign of a corrupt file from a sync, I am pretty sure, but I am quite sure that the way to resolve it is to restore the iPad.
You can search the discussion site for similar threads but I think you will find that a restore is the way to correct it. Read this one.

So the wifi iPad is what he's got and he's moving to japan in a month. Are we clear on that point? But when we get to the second sentence, "Can I use the verizon version of the ipad in Japan network? That's where I'm assuming he's not gotten the Verizon ipad YET. And that is how getting an AT&T iPad is going to solve his problem. Tx.
The Verizon iPad has wifi.
I'm assuming he has a Verizon iPad (why else ask about Verizon?) and the OP simply did not specify "I just got an iPad 2 16GB, Verizon version".

I cannot send an email from my iPad 2? No problem receiving, why does this happen? Have tried the suggestions for setting up email and after doing the sync mail through iTunes receiving worked great but still cannot send? Any help would be great

I cannot send an email from my iPad 2? No problem receiving, why does this happen? Have tried the suggestions for setting up email and after doing the sync mail through iTunes receiving worked great but still cannot send? Any help would be great!

The fact that you can receive means you have a valid e mail address, and have established the connection to the incoming server, so all of that works. Since the send does not work, that means your outgoing server is rejecting whatever settings you used formthe outgoing set up. Try them again.
Google your particular isp, and ipad and many times you will find the exact settings needed for your isp. Or tell us here, and soneone else may be on the same isp. Some mail services need you to change a port, or have a unique name for the outgoing server.
Kep trying.

Odd Network Problem

Hi,
I have a strange network problem, can anybody help?
Basic configuration
I have three networks 10.190.0.0, 10.192.0.0 and 10.193.0.0 joined by a single server running Solaris 11 B64a with a dual port intel card and onboard intel card (e1000g0/g1/g2) each port is plugged into the gigabit port of a seperate Dell powerconnect switch.
they have ip addresses of 10.190.0.2, 10.192.0.1 and 10.193.0.1
The problem. I have connected from a remote machine through a solaris router machine on the 10.190.0.0 network to a computer on the 10.192.0.0 network (Beyond a switch).
The terminal works fine!
if I ping the 10.190.0.1 which is the other router beyond the box with the three network interfaces packets are not seen by the pinging box. However, if I snoop the interface on the three interface router I see both the ICMP echo requests and replies.
After a considerable length of time 10-30 seconds, a load of the packets suddenly appear on the pinging machine and then continue normally.
I would like to understand:
a) where were the packets during the time between the snoop seeing them leave and them arriving at the destination?
b) why does the terminal not suffer any delays?
We are suffering with a lot of strange network issues at this new site and I am trying to figure out if its the new dell switches, the solaris network stack or something else entirely!
Anybody got any idea whats going on?
Please Help I am baffled.

It may just be the pinging machine has received the packets, but it will not display them on screen until it has found a name for the remote IP address (or until it times out waiting for one).
Do you get the same behavior with 'ping -n' ?
