IPad 2 wifi not working. Was working fine, now won't find the network. Any suggestions?
Help! Bought an iPad 2 for my mother, brought it to Scotland (from Chicago); initially worked fine. Wifi suddenly stopped working. Wn't find the network. My iPad 2 has no problems. Reset the network settings, did a hard restart, reset all settings, rebooted the router. Nothing's working. I'm returning to the U.S. In four days. Any help would be most appreciated.
Patrick-
Did your "hard restart" involve holding both buttons until the Apple logo appeared?
Are you sure that Airplane Mode is OFF?
The solution may be to swap iPads and leave the good one with your Mother. If you erase all content and settings on both, you can restore the good one from your Mother's computer.
When you get home you can do the same with the problem iPad and your computer. If you haven't sorted it out by then, take it to the Apple Store Genius.

Hello, my name is brad and I recently had a voicemail app that I was using and now i got rid of it. But now my voicemail for the phone will not work. I tried to reset the network settings and nothing happened. I was wondering if you could help me out?
When you set up a voicemail redirection, usually you have to remove that redirection from the account that redirected it. Like Google Voice, if you activate Google Voice to receive your voicemail, you will have to log into voice.google.com to turn it off. If you contact your carrier, they can tell you exactly what program has taken over your voicemail functionality just in case you are stuck, but if you know the name of that App, I'm sure you will be able to figure it out. Hope this helps you out.

Hi
I have an IPad mini WiFi (not cellular) and an IPhone 5. I use the bluetooth connection between both devices when on the road. I downloaded a navigation system on my IPad using GPS positioning. Is the Bluetooth connection working to use GPS positioning on the IPad using IPhone 5 as the hotspot?
Thanks for your input

Just bought a new Airport Extreme BS. After setup my iphone4 won't find the network (not even with manual entries), but my iMac (2009) does. What is wrong?
Well, after another call with Apple support and the engineers, no success. After spending over 20 hours trying to debug this, I give up. Apple was basically fishing for a solution with trial-and-error settings on the iphone. Then they wanted me to plug in software to log my iphone connections to the router, etc, etc., etc., at which point I decided I no longer wanted to participate in their testing process and will simply return the router.
25 hours of my life I'll never get back.
Big bummer, and frustrating for all the obvious reasons. -
IPad Mini wifi not working even after updating to 6.0.2
I have updated my ipad mini to 6.0.2 still it says "Unable to join the network". I have tried everything possible Restored it to the factory settings, erased network settings, hard reset ipad (as told by apple personnel). Also the following, as suggested by many:
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)
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
Have also, removed encryption settings from my router even in that case it does not connect. HELP PLS !!!!I have the same issue, nothing I did fixed the problem, I would suggest if you can visit apple store and give us your feedback with them.
for me I can't go to apple store because I don't have any store near me, I will have to wait for 2 months to travel! -

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
This works for some users. Not sure why.
Go to Settings>General>Date and Time> Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead by about a year.Then see if you can connect to the store.

If so this is a current issue in Yosemite:

My ipod mini si not working and I can't find the answer.
My ipod mini is not working. I have done all the R things. It won't switch on unless I toggle the hold key, once switched on it asks me to choose a language but pressing the select button does nothing. Can it be saved or should I throw it in a heap with my Dyson vacuum?????????
It's no longer under warranty? Rather than throw it away, there are 3rd party repair site here in the UK (iPod Doctor is one).
Might be worth a try because it seems like a hardware issue rather than software. -
IPad 2 CDMA not working after iOS8 upgrade (always "searching for network")
My iPad2 CDMA version cannot find the Verizon network anymore after upgrading the device to iOS8.0.
The version 8.0.1 and 8.0.2 have not solved the problem so far.
I have tried to reset completely the ipad as new but it still shows "searching" on top left corner.
I have also lost GPS capability.
Went to Verizon and Apple stores but no luck! and Apple store refused to take this issue under their responsibility.
Everything else on the device are working just fine.I've had the same problem for weeks. None of the solutions in Apple support or on this community board have worked for me. I've sent several feedback forms to Apple with no reply. Seems like the Apple store "genius" folks are telling people it's their IPad and that they need a new one. It seems odd that all these devices worldwide all just happened to go bad at the same time as the software update. This clearly is a software problem that Apple should fix. I don't why they're not.

D7150 worked fine now won'tprint after blue ink change
D7150 worked fine changed blue ink now won't print anything on page; alignment ok what now????
Try giving your iPad a reset. Hold down the sleep and home keys for about 20 seconds. When you see the silver apple, let go and let it reboot and try again.
How are you charging it? its's best charged plugged into the wall not via USB. So if you're trying via USB, try using the supplied power block plugged into the wall. -
Overdrive Media console not working with iTunes when transferring audio books. Any suggestions?
Overdrive Media console not working with iTunes when transferring audiobooks. Some parts don't transfer.
Robin, I have the 4S too. Here's wha I've been doing. Well, I am downloading wma books, but it is super time consuming and annoying. First, shut off genius in your preferences in iTunes. Also change to spoken podcast for speed. Then, you start to transfer from Overdrive. It will create a playlist with your book title. Open up books though because you need to keep an eye on it. It may download like three parts and then you may have a grey one. When you get the grey, cancel the transfer, delete the greyed part, exit iTunes, re-enter iTunes, and then try to download the remaining book parts. I usually have to re-enter iTunes three or four different times during a book. When your book is downloaded, all black and none grey, open up the playlist folder and double check that all parts made it in there. If not, carry them from the books folder to the playlist and then move it into numerical order.
Re non bookmarking problem. I now have a new habit of checking what part I am on before i shut off my phone or switch to another book. It does save where you were, it just doesn't show you. For instance, if I start part three and then play music, and then go back to the book playlist, it will appear as if we are back to the beginning, but if I go to part three, it will start up from where I was. So, just start checking and then it is easy. I am flabbergasted that no other proper solution has been offered by Overdrive. This has been a problem since October. I also wish they would acknowledge the problem on their website as well as post what version number of update they have. I have 3.2.1.0 and think that's current. Does anyone have newer than this. Good luck, and happy commuting!
An easy, quick workaround is to plug external speakers into your laptop and take it with you in the car. A bit unwieldy, but I can't commute without books. -
I recently installed vista to my mac (32bit). My headphones are not working on it. I could not find the "3.5mm jack" that apple suggests to "solve" this issue. And I have tried installing/uninstalling audio drivers. Can anyone help?
you don't need several drivers, you just need the audio driver for your Mac, which you didn't list, but would be Cirrus or RealTek.
Along with uninstalling programs, go to Dev Manager and uninstall driver, or even rollback driver.
some people have trouble installing or finding driver that will install. -
i recently got a contract sim with talk talk on my iphone 3gs but i cannot send mms using the settings from their websidt and going through them over the phone with talktalk they said the only people to contact is apple any suggestions please
As you haven't responded I assume you are using an old CPW mobile sim in your iPhone ,as Tim has said
CPW ( talktalk) are not an Apple supported carrier and will not support the features of the iPhone
Get a supported sim and you should then get all the features working
You will know them
