IPAD 2 Connectivity

My IPAD 2 is quite new. My connection to my home network has been working fine ... but has suddenly stopped working. When I go into Settings/WIFI I can turn the swith on but it doesn't seem to do anythin ... the WIFI setting still shows as OFF on the main Settings menu. Two things that might be affecting it ... I tried to access another network at another location ... but did not have the required ID and Password ... and I have just started using a new ZAGG bluetooth keyboard. Can someone help with this ?

When something like this happens, there are a couple options. The simplest and least work is to reboot your iPad. Hold the power and home button at the same time for at least 10 seconds (holes past the swipe to shut down if it appears) until the Apple Logo appears, then let go of both buttons and your iPad will restart. No settings will be lost. If that doesn't solve your problem, make sure you know your router encryption code (usually a 13 digit number or combination of numbers and letters) and go into settings and reset network settings, which will cause your iPad to forget your router, then you reselect the routher and reinput the encryption key........Hopefully one of these will solve your problem.
I doubt your new wireless keyboard is causing the issue. The Keyboard uses bluetooth to connect, not wifi.

I recently connected my new ipad to my itunes, but now itunes will not recognise my ipod classic, and 50gig of music has gone. ipad connects ok but no longer ipod which has been there for two years! help!!!

I recently connected my new ipad to my itunes, but now itunes will not recognise my ipod classic, and 50gig of music has gone. ipad connects ok but no longer ipod which has been there for two years! help!!!

What happens when the iPod is plugged in? anything? any errors?
Why is 50GB of music gone? All music should exist on the computer. Only a fool would rely on a single device which could easily be lost or stolen to store their content on.

Already gone through troubleshooting guide a zillion times. Thanks.

This worked for me... A little time consuming but once you get rolling it goes GREAT... Thanks....
I got my artwork and saved it to my Desktop
Opened up Microsoft Paint and clicked on "File" and "Open" and found it to get it on the screen to resize it
Clicked "resize" and a box for changing it opened up
Checked the box "Pixels" and "Unchecked maintain aspect ratio"
Set Horizontal for 640 and Vertical for 480
Clicked on "OK" and went back to "File" and did a "Save As" and chose JPEG Picture
It came up "File Already Existed" and clicked "OK" (really did not care about the original artwork I found because wrong size)
Went to iTunes and on the movie right clicked on "Get Info", clicked on "Details", then "Artwork"
Go to the little box on the top left that shows your old artwork and click on it to get the little blue border to appear around it and hit "Delete" to make it gone
Click on "Add Artwork" and find it where you put the one from above on your Desktop and hit "Open" and OK and your new artwork is now there and all good.
Sounds like a lot of steps to follow but after around 5 or so you will fly through it. This worked perfect on my iPhone 6 Plus and I have artwork on my Home Videos now.

Currently I have two iPads connected to the same Apple ID and one connected to Game Center. I want to connect the second iPad to Game Center so that I do not lose my progress on apps like Clash of Clans.

Currently I have two iPads connected to the same apple iPad. One is connected to game center(iPad air) one the other(iPad 2) is not connected to Game Center. How can I connect the iPad 2 Clash of Clan progress to game center when I already have another clash from iPad air connected?

You cannot transfer content between two accounts. The sooner you make the conversion, the better. Just pick the new one and start using it(buying music etc).
*A lot of people open new accounts when their email changes or they have a new email. You can just access your apple id account and change the primary email that you use to log in along with other details.

I don't understand how to fix this and I don't seem to understand where the problem is coming from.

Let's try the simple approach first. Restart your router. Any change?

IPad connects to free WiFi Hotspots, but NOT on my home WiFi network

First, let me say that I have my iMac and a PC laptop working on my home WiFi network with no problems. My iPad connected to my home WiFi network for several months until about a week ago or so, somewhere around the time that I updated my iPad to OS 4.3.3.
In the General settings section I have reset the NETWORK setting several times to no avail. I changed my network SSID twice, and changed my WAP2 password 3 times. My iMac and PC laptop worked like a charm for each change. But, like I said, my iPad has no issues connecting to free WiFi hotspots like at coffee shops, but "cannot join my Clearwire WiFi network" at home.
My guess is that I have an OS issue, but if anybody knows anything better, please let me know.
Thank you.

I think the OS issue is with the password because free WiFi hotspots don't require passwords. So, all of my RF circuits are fine. My password is correct because when I changed it in the Clearwire WiMax modem\router, I was able to connect with the new password on my iMac and PC laptop with no problems.
I have a 3 month old Clearwire 4G modem\router. My iPad worked great from the day I installed it. It stopped working around the time that I updated my iPad OS to 4.3.3.
I am hoping that there is an OS fix because I had Clearwire on the phone for over an hour and we re-booted the modem\router several times and reset it to its default values. Again, I have no problems connecting with my iMac or PC laptop. They work like a charm, just like my iPad used to.

Why won't my iPad connection kit work, Why won't my iPad connection kit work

My iPad connection kit won't work properly, the SD card part isn't working at all...... I plug it into my iPad all it says is "Cannot Use Device: The connected USB device requires too much power." I have tried putting the SD card into my MacBook and tried reading it by DCIM, tried reading it again with out the case on. But it still doesn't work, can someone please help me???

Try resetting your iPad. HOld down the sleep and home keys until you see the silver apple. Let it reboot and try again.
Beyond that, what kind of card are you using? As in 32 gig SDHC or 64 gig SDXC or whatever.
If you're using an XC card that could be the issue because the CCK doesn't read XC cards.

Why wont my ipad connect to wifi ???

why wont my ipad connect to wifi ???

You just aren't suppling us with enough information. Are you trying to connect to the WiFi at home or at work? Will other WiFi devices connect successfully with that WiFi access-point? Is your WiFi access point showing up on the list of available access points when you're trying to connect to it from the iPad, or are you being forced to manually enter it in? We really need more info about your specific situation before we can help.
Thanks,
L.

Why wont my iPad connect to the closest/strongest wifi?

Why wont my iPad connect to the closest/strongest wifi at home? It alway defaults to the one upstairs even when I am right next to our extender in the kitchen?

Try #5.
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

I had my schools iPad connected to my laptop on iTunes and then i looked at my iPad and i didnt have any of my apps. How do i get them back?

U must have synced with your library on your laptop thereby erasing the school apps , the only way to get them back on is by taking it back to school and get them to reinstall them back on using there library.

Is the Canon EOS 1Ds Mark II compatible with iPad Connection Kit

Hi All,
First post in the forum. I was wondering if the Canon EOS 1Ds Mark II is compatible with the iPad connection kit via USB, as it uses CompactFlash not SD.
Thanks
Dill

Lightworksuk-
I would think so. My 5D Mark II and three other Canon cameras are compatible.
Some people have received an error message that their camera drew too much current from the USB adapter. In those cameras, there was usually a setting option to charge their batteries from the USB cable. By turning that option to NOT charge, the problem went away.
There are several CF to USB adapters on the market. I have a couple that work with the Camera Connection Kit's USB adapter, but others that draw too much current. For those, as well as cameras that draw too much current, use of a powered USB hub may solve the problem.

Have my ipad connected to my PC and can't sync all my material

I have iTunes open on my PC and my ipad connected but cannot find a lot of my material as a choice to sync to my ipad

If you were to describe exactly what happens when you try to sync music and videos it would helpful. Some very basic things to check are to make sure that you are using the same Apple ID on both devices, make sure that no restrictions are set on the iPad that would prevent music or videos from syncing, Settings>General>Restrictions. Turn them off if they are enabled.
You really should post back with more detailed information.

Recently purchased iPad Mini. Could not get it to connect. Changed router's setting to Channel 6 and IPad connected. Even after 6.0.2 it will not connect to some home networks although it will to public networks e.g. McDonald's.

Recently purchased iPad Mini. Downloaded iOS 6.0.1. Could not get it to connect to Home WiFi using Linksys G Router. Have another Wifi Network in Home (CenturyLink provided it as a DSL/Router combo). Would not connect (nor would my iPhone 4s or my wife's iPhone 4) until I accessed the router's setting and changed to broadcast on Channel 6 and then IPad connected. I suspect the only reason the iPhone were still connected to the Linksys network is that they were before I "upgraded to iOS 6. Even after 6.0.2 the iPad and both iPhones will not connect to some home networks (its random) although thye will connect to public networks e.g. McDonald's, Panera, etc.
