IPad 2 lost cellular service after upgrade to iOS 8.1

Device: iPad 2 Model A1397 16GB
My cellular service worked fine prior to the upgrade to iOS 8.1. After completing the upgrade, my cellular connection always says "Searching..." and never finds service. I have tried restoring iOS 8.1 through iTunes, but end up with the same results. I'm new to upgrading apple devices, so I didn't create a backup of my OS prior to upgrading. With Apple not signing iOS 7.1.2 anymore for my device, I'm in a bit of a pickle and cannot revert back. Any suggestions?

Make sure ringer is on and volume is up.

Hello there, jjthurlow.
The following Knowledge Base article offers up some great steps for troubleshooting issues with touchscreen response:
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Troubleshooting touchscreen response
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1827
If your device is experiencing any of the symptoms listed above, try the following steps:
Restart your device
Hold the On/Off button until "slide to power off" appears. Slide to power off your device. When it is off, press the On/Off button to turn it back on.
If you can't restart your device, reset it by pressing and holding the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for a least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
Clean the screen with a soft, slightly damp, lint-free cloth.
Avoid using the device while wearing gloves, with wet hands, or immediately after applying hand lotion.
If you have a protective case, or if you are using a plastic sheet or film on the display, try removing them and testing the device without it.
If the steps above don't resolve your issue, please schedule a service appointment with an Apple Retail Store for evaluation. If an Apple Retail store is not an option, contact Apple to find out your best service option or see the Service FAQ for your product.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.

My iPad Mini Retina LTE got No Service after upgrade to IOS 8.1

After upgrading to IOS 8.1 my iPad Mini Retina lost GSM signal and No Service indication appears in top left screen.
Tried to reset, switch off without positive results.
With manual carrier search, my carrier is still in the options but no results.
Please help

I upgraded ipad mini 2 with LTE from 7.1.2 straight to 8.1.2 hoping all the bugs are ironed out by now.... nope!
Got the free 200MB/mo Tmobile sim and 4G works. LTE network connection seems fine. I get an LTE next to Tmobile on the status bar. But I get a message saying "Could not activate cellular data network. You are not subscribed to a cellular data service." as soon as I try to use a browser.
With AT&T sim, 4G works just like Tmobile, but as soon as I switch on LTE, there is no network connection at all with "No Service" on the status bar and falls back to 4G after a while. So seems like something broke LTE even on 8.1.2.

Lost my music after upgrading to iOS 8

After upgrading to ios 8 I lost all the music downloaded through iTunes (from ripping my CDs), on both iPhone 5 and iPad 3rd generation, except the music purchased online.

Hey Keisha, Are the photos in your iPhoto library on your computer? If so, you should be able to check the photos option in your iPod's summary page in iTunes and add then back. Hope this helps, Cheers.

IPad mini retina. After upgrade to iOS 8 and after to 8.0.2 I can't use my iPad because of wifi problem!

After upgrade to iOS 8 and after to 8.0.2 I can't use my iPad because of wifi problem

I am having a similar experience. Since upgrading my Ipad 2 to iOS 8 and then iOS 8.0.2 I have not been able to use wifi consistently and it is very frustrating. I can no longer watch any video because the wifi shuts down and won't come back without a complete reboot of the iPad. And forget about consistent bluetooth! My ipad worked perfect before the "upgrade" to iOS 8 and beyond but now it is really worthless. I have spent a lot of time and have tried every fix that I have read about online and NOTHING has corrected the problems created by the upgrade. After spending a lot of time trying to resolve this I am certain the problem is the buggy "upgrade" but I feel like no one at Apple is listening. I have always loved Apple products but this rotten Apple experience is making me think about exploring what else is out there. Apple folks, I recommend getting this fixed quick or your stockholders won't be smiling!

IPad 2 Wifi Problems after upgrading to iOS 6

I Updated my iPad 2 to ios6 then day iOS6 was released, ever since then i have been unable to connect to the wifi. I've reset the network setting and the wifi works for about 5 minutes until i go on any apple app ( itunes, app store, maps etc). I've reset the Network settings more than once, I've turned the HTTP proxy to auto, I've pressed Renew Lease, I've unplugged the wifi, and I've pressed Forget this network. Reluctantley i updated my ipod touch 4 gen to see if iOS 6 was the problem and I now have the exact same problem on my ipod touch. Someone Help!!

Additional things to try.
Try this first. 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.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
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
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

HT1947 Remote app on iPad no longer rotates after upgrade to iOS 7

I love Remote, use on both my iPhone and iPad. However, after upgrading the iPad to iOS 7, the app no longer rotates to horizontal view - in fact, it doesn't rotate at all. Bad enough no horizontal, but to not rotate at all means that I can't orient my iPad angled up, while having the power cord plugged in at the bottom?
Seems so strange that this would be changed - why? Maybe I need to re-install?
Help.
Thanks,
Bruce

Ipad 2 Wifi issues after upgrading to ios 7

I live in a small house, 750 sq ft area (30 x 22). Ipad wifi was working fine in all the rooms before upgrading its iOS to 7. After ipad2 iOS was upgraded to iOS 7, wifi now works in the room where the Wifi router is located. But does not receive Wifi signal in any other room. I tired everything that has been suggested in the forum - like changing the router settings (channel, security etc),playing with ipad2's wifi, etc. etc. But to no avail!
Clearly the bug in iOS 7 has caused this issue! How does one log this issue with Apple tech support team so they can rectify this issue in iOS 7 patch? Also, please let me know if I should be trying anything else. Thanks!

I have exactlythe same issue. Have had ever since the upgrade to iOS 7. It's nothing to do with the router. It has to be a bug in iOS 7. Question is, would upgrading to iOS 8 help at all??? Anyone done this.?? I used to love my iPad and it was never out of my hand. Now I just hate it and use my Kindle Fire all the time instead. I used to pick up wiif signals across the street. Now I have to be sitting on a router to connect.

No cellular data after upgrade to ios 6.0.1

I upgraded to ios 6.0.1 on my iPad.
When I try to get email or open Safari I get a message "Could not activate cellular data network"
Any clues?

Do a backup and do a restore from backup.
If no joy, do a restore as new.

Hello wabbiittt,
If your iPad is restarting randomly, even after an iOS upgrade, please follow the steps in this article.

Symptoms
See what to do if your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch either unexpectedly displays the Apple logo while you're using it or appears to restart.
Resolution
Make sure your iOS device is up to date. If you still see this issue after updating, contact Apple Support.

Ipad 2 shows No Service after upgrade to IOS 8.0.2

Hi I have upgraded to latest IOS 8 on my Ipad 2 but know i keep getting "No Service". I have reset networks, did a back up etc etc.tuned it on and off
works fine for a short time and them goes back to No service
Please help

Which iCloud update do you mean? iCloud drive?
I've tried this as well but all of the "workarounds" explained here in the forum are solving the "no service" issue only temporarily... Unfortunately also the one I described above. Sometimes the network lasts the whole day long, sometimes it breaks within a few hours.
This is annoying me so much, that if Apple doesn't provide a solution soon, this will be the last Apple device I've bought! My pleasure has gone during the last years, last but not least cause of the increased screen size of iP6. But this is another topic...

Ipad 2 crashes frequently after upgrade to iOS 8.02

safari and and mail are the worst offenders to ios 8 it seems, although I haven't tried all my apps, can't really! I have to restart so frequently that i can't use the iPad for too long. I stopped using Safari and mail and force-quit those apps completely. I am running google chrome and Gmail and the ipad holds on for quite longer than with safari and mail.
APple, come up with iOS 8.03 or 8.1 asap please. Thank you.

I have an IPad Air 16 GB model. I toyed with the settings and this works for me at the moment. In wi-fi, use the 2.4 ghz band not the 5 ghz. It works better. Turn off Bluetooth If on. Turn off cellular data. Apple may have to issue an entirely new and revamped os. There are too many issues to just put a patch on this. Good luck.
