IPad 2 WiFi / 3G GSM cellular failure on iOS restore to "new device"

I have restored an iPad 2 GSM to "new device" on iOS 8. Still, GSM connectivity fails after a while. Resetting the network settings helps - but not for long.
I think this must be a (serious) bug for iPad 2 GSM owners - not just me - because several iPad 2 GSM owners seem to report the same error to forums all over the place.
Do anybody have a more stable fix than resetting the network settings continuously? Thanks!

Hi,
SOLUCE
1- Restart iPad
2- Go to "settings"
3- "Operator"
4- Desactivate "automator" ans check manually your operator.... and that's all    :-)
Bye and good night

  • IPad WiFi Greyed Out After Update To IOS 8.1!!!

    So I finally bit the bullet and upgraded my iPad from 7.1 to 8.1, but now I find that my wifi won't work!   So I've tried all the common things to try to get my wifi working again (resetting network settings; rebooting,  turning wifi networking off in privacy settings), but still no joy. The only thing I haven't tried yet is a full reset to factory What's going on Apple?  How can an OS update kill my wifi/hardware as others are saying???

    Hi shaun297,
    When you did the full factory reset, did you test the Wi-Fi before restoring from backup?  Please try that.
    And it does look like you did most of the steps in this article.
    iOS: Wi-Fi settings grayed out or dim - Apple Support
    Follow these steps to resolve the issue:
    Restart your iOS device.
    Make sure that airplane mode is off by tapping Settings > Airplane Mode.
    Reset the network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
    This will reset all network settings, including Bluetooth pairing records, Wi-Fi passwords, VPN, and APN settings.
    Make sure that your device is using the latest software. To do so, connect your device to your computer and check for updates in iTunes.
    If you still can't turn Wi-Fi on, please  contact Apple for support and service options. If you can turn Wi-Fi on but are experiencing other issues with Wi-Fi, see  how to resolve those Wi-Fi issues.
    Take care,

  • Apple, pls let the iPad 2 owners make a downgrade to iOS 7

    Apple, pls let the iPad 2 owners make a downgrade to iOS 7.
    Our devices have become useless after upgrade to iOS 8.
    Thank you for understanding

    Try some basic troubleshooting:
    (A) Try reset iPad
    Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
    (B) Try reset all settings
    Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings
    (C) Setup as new (data will be lost if you do not have backup)
    Settings>General>Reset>Erase all content and settings

  • Why won't my ipad connect to the wifi after I updated it to ios 7.1.2

    Never have I ever been so upset at an electronic device
    If I had know my iPad would cause such distress after this update I wouldn't have attempted it.
    Because of this bloody update a plethora of problems have appeared and I have no clue how to fix it.
    Firstly at around 4 this morning the wifi connection was spotty so I had to keep on reconnecting, but that was fixed by getting closer to the router. I thought "problem solved no biggie right?" WRONG! I left my house and came back expecting the wifi to connect again, but that was a fail.
    SOOOOO I figured I needed to forget the network and log back in. That didnt work. I should not have done that. I should not have done that.
    I got the *Unable to join the network. Dismiss* crap over and over and over again!
    So now I figured I'd look up some help! Why not give it a go! So i got that whole (general-  reset- reset network) with or without turning on airplane mode bs. Didnt work. Trust me I tried both.Twice.
    Since that didnt work I figured a reboot would. No. I turned my iPad off so many times I probably gave the poor thing whiplash
    Now this has been going on all day and I finally gave in an hour ago and decided if I restore it to the ios 7.1.1 it'll work again.
    Well it must be my freakin birthday cause guess what? You have to turn off your icloud's "find my ipad"to restore and to do that you need a........ wait for it................. internet connection!!!! Brilliant. Just. Brilliant. -_-
    Do you FEEL my struggle yet????
    all my problems...... they all lead to that dang wifi connection. Fml.
    Any of you magical smarty pants have any help for this poor unfortunate soul.
    it would be much appreciated.

    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 drooping 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.
    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.

    Hey rmacbeth, I'm sorry to hear about your iPad troubles. It seems like with every major iOS release, these issues come up on older models (the iPad 3 is relatively new though...weird)
    Anyways, it sounds like you've tried everything already and nothing seems to be working. If you're sure that it's a software issue with iOS and has nothing to do with your physical home button, I'd recommend restoring your iPad to factory settings by doing the following:
    1. Make a backup of your iPad (just connect it and select the backup option in iTunes)
    2. Next, select factory restore. It'll ask you to back up your iPad here if you haven't already.
    3. Try quickly setting it up as a new iPad.
    4. Try to duplicate the issue with the freezing, just use it for a day and see if it happens at all
    5. If everything seeems to be working, restore again except this time, do it from the backup you made earlier
    6. Try again to see if the issue comes up by using it normally in a day
    7. If it does happen again, take it in to the Apple store to get it looked at as there may be some underlying software issue that a factory restore can't resolve
    Again, sorry about your iPad, I hope you can resolve your issues quickly!

  • Wifi problem with iOS 6 and new ipad wifi/4g

    This is my first ipad and have been very disappointed so far.
    At first it was working normally and I was connecting to the Internet without problem.  It would stay connected.   I only use the device with WiFi and have cellular turned off.
    After the iOS 6 upgrade I have been having problems staying connected to wifi.  It works until the unit goes to sleep.  Then if try to use the ipad  later in the day It will only connect it i go and reset network settings . 
    I called apple and they said since I am over 95 days from purchase I can no longer call them for help.  They said I do have hardware support, but I have no way to call and see if is software or hardware without paying for a service contract.
    Can someone help me out with this. I have tried the online solutions and the only one that works is resetting the network settings.  I is only temporary and not an acceptable fix for a 800 device.
    I have both linksys and buffalo routers but it happens with both

  • Cannot connect to iTunes Store after iOS installed on iPad wifi 3rd generation

    My iPad 3rd generation was just updated to iOS yesterday without any problems. I can use the Internet and the wifi network just fine.
    But, I am unable to access the iTunes store no matter what I have done. I reset the router / modem. I am really ****** that this has happened. At home there are no problems. There is nothing that I have done that caused this as far as I can tell. I took my Apple ID off and then put it back on the iTunes & App Store a number of times. Nothing works. It keeps asking me to Sign In and then it says I can't

    Hey tpolevoy,
    Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like you can't connect to iTunes store on the iOS device. A frustrating situation for sure. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you resolve or isolate the issue.
    Can't connect to the iTunes Store
    Troubleshoot issues on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    If you haven't been able to connect to the iTunes Store:
    Make sure your date, time, and time zone are correct in Settings > General > Date & Time. 
    Note: Time Zone may list another city in your time zone.
    Make sure that your iOS software is up to date by tapping Settings > General > Software Update (iOS 5 or later) or connecting your iOS device to iTunes and clicking Check for Update on your device's Summary page.
    Check and verify that you're in range of a Wi-Fi router or base station. If you're on a device with cellular service, make sure that cellular data is turned on from Settings > General > Cellular.
    Note: If connected to cellular data, larger items may not download. You may need to connect to Wi-Fi to download apps, videos, and podcasts.
    Make sure that you have an active Internet connection. You can check the user guide for your device for help with connecting to the Internet.
    Make sure that other devices (portable computers, for example) are able to connect to the Wi-Fi network and access the Internet.
    Try resetting (turning off and then on again) your Wi-Fi router.
    If the issue persists, try troubleshooting your Wi-Fi networks and connections.
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Have a nice day,
    Mario

  • IOS 5 used to allow Airplay between iPad (WiFi) and Apple TV (Ethernet) as long as they were on the same network. In iOS 6, now both the iPad and the Apple TV have to be on the same network and both have to be connected using WiFi ? Why did they change ?

    iOS 5 used to allow Airplay between iPad (WiFi) and Apple TV (Ethernet) as long as they were on the same network, i.e. connected to the same wired/wireless router. In iOS 6, now both the iPad and the Apple TV have to be on the same network and both have to be connected using WiFi ? Why did they change this ? Means that the iPad and the Apple TV box both have to be in range of the wireless router when this wasn't a restriction before. Apple TV could be anywhere as long as it was connected to the same wireless router via ethernet cable. Seems like an unnecessary thing to restrict.

    I have found with AppleTV that it is the IPV6 on the computer you want to access is the problem.  The issue is that Homegroup on Win 7 or Win 8 requires IPV6 to work, but AppleTV won't work with IPV6.  (So maybe double check you have IPV6 turned off)
    So you have to make a choice - Homegroup or AppleTV.... but you can't have both, until Apple brings ATV up to date. (crazy that it does not recognise IPV6 - c'mon Apple!)
    You can set up sharing individually in Win 7 or 8 and have the ATV access files that way.
    Having said that, there is always the exception.. I have an old HP home server running Win8 and it services ATV - but is part of the Homegroup... have no idea why it works on both, but no other machine on the home network will talk to both ATV and Homegroup at the same time!

  • I updated an iPod touch, an iPad 2, and an iPhone 4 to iOS 6, and all of them now will not connect to WiFi. They all give this wierd 404 error page from Apple and insist that I need to login to the network. Bad job testing the software Apple.

    I updated an iPod touch, an iPad 2, and an iPhone 4 to iOS 6, and all of them now will not connect to WiFi. They all give this wierd 404 error page from Apple and insist that I need to login to the network. What's the fix? None of the recommended fixes work in any of these devices. Reset device, reset network, renew lease, etc. None of them work.

    Does the iPod work OK?
    Does it charge when connect to the computer?
    Does it appear in My Computer?
    Look at the dock connector on the iPod. Compare with the iPod that does work/connect.
    I suspect you have a 2G iPod. Those can only go to iOS 4.2.1
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1353#iPod_touch_late2009
    iPod touch (3rd generation)
    iPod touch (3rd generation) features a 3.5-inch (diagonal) widescreen multi-touch display and 32 GB or 64 GB flash drive. You can browse the web with Safari and watch YouTube videos with Wi-Fi. You can also search, preview, and buy songs from the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store on iPod touch.
    The iPod touch (3rd generation) can be distinguished from iPod touch (2nd generation) by looking at the back of the device. In the text below the engraving, look for the model number. iPod touch (2nd generation) is model A1288, and iPod touch (3rd generation) is model A1318.

  • 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!

    Hey aries35,
    I found the following that goes over troubleshooting the same issue for the iPhone. I know you have an iPad, but the steps should still apply:
    Perform the following steps:
    Restart the iPhone.
    Try another means of reaching the activation server and attempt to activate.
    Try connecting to a known-good Wi-Fi network if you're unable to activate using a cellular data connection.
    Try connecting to iTunes if you're unable to activate using Wi-Fi.
    Restore the iPhone.
    If you receive an alert message when you attempt to activate your iPhone, try to place the iPhone in recovery mode and perform a restore. If you're still unable to complete the setup assistant due to an activation error, contact Apple for assistance.

  • Downloading and Installing Problem of IOS 4.2  to IPad Wifi 3G 64 GB

    Hi there,
    I've tried downloading and installing IOS 4.2 trough ITunes to my IPad Wifi 3G 64 GB, but it always failed.
    Could someone tell me how to do it? The error message said that it took too long to download IOS 4.2 (12 Minutes) and the server has denied the action.
    Thanks.

    Hi IIIaass,
    I've done as your suggestion. My IPad and IPod Touch have the IOS 4.2 updates now. I'm very happy. Thank you again.
    I never thought that I would forget the fact that before downloading some software from Internet, I should disable my antivirus, firewall, anti spyware and cos.
    Now, if you don't mind for another question. Do you know why ITunes with Windows 7 has (PC) problem to recognize my whole songs I have in ITunes with Widows Vista (Notebook)? It is around 200 titles, which are missing.

  • Can i convert ipad wifi to cellular

    How i convert my ipad 3 wifi to ipad 3 cellular ?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    As the Wi-Fi iPad hasn't got a SIM slot, you can't convert your Wi-Fi iPad onto a Wi-Fi + Cellular iPad. If you purchased your iPad less than 14 days ago, you may be able to return it and get a Wi-Fi + Cellular iPad.
    To use cellular network on a Wi-Fi iPad, some carriers sell a router that turns the 3G or 4G signal onto Wi-Fi, so you can connect other Wi-Fi devices and use the carrier's network. Check this with your carrier

  • TS3681 When  i try to install apps to my iPad it keeps telling me it needs iOS 6 but on iTunes it says it's up to date even connected to a wifi......help

    When I try to install apps to my iPad it keeps telling me it needs iOS 6 but when connect to iTunes it says it's up to date even when connected to a wifi......how do I upgrade when it says it's up to date????

    If you have the iPad 1 it cannot be updated beyond iOS 5.1.1 so you as as up-to-date as you can be.
    Check with the app developer to see if there are older versions of these apps which run on iOS 5.
