IPad 2 won't connect to home wi-fi, tried all solutions posted in discussions

I have an Arris TG852 wireless gateway provided by Comcast. Any suggestions other than the ones posted in the various discussions on this topic? I do not want to pay AT&T $30 per month for 3G access. I can connect to wi-fi at Starbucks, so it's obviously my home gateway that's the issue. I'm not technically savvy, so please offer solutions in non-technical language.

Tell us what you tried and what happened when you did.
The obvious thing to check, given the details you provided, is whether or not you turned on and configured the wifi in the gateway.

Ipad calendar won't save dates. I've tried all resets as well as sync options and it will still not work. Any other suggestions?

What do you mean it won't save date? What exactly are you pressing and what happens or doesn't happen?
Try this:
Open the Calendar App and Tap Calendar at the bottom of the screen. Make sure all calendars have checkmarks, then Tap Done. Do your events show up now?

My iPod classic (160gb) won't connect to iTunes I've tried all the updates (using an 07 MacBook I believe) and it keeps saying it needs snow leapord

I just bought it and it won't work! I did all the updates but it's saying I need snow leopard? Please help!!

HI there,
Snow Leopard is going to be a paid update that you will need to order form the Apple Online Store. Before upgrading, it is always a good idea to have a backup of your information. The article below has more information about backing up.

Firefox won't connect to the internet after trying all the troubleshooting, reinstalling, checking my firewall, etc. Help!

OK, I've got Firefox re-installed but it still can't connect to the internet. The original issue disabled my Norton antivirus and I'm currently using Windows defender. I've removed Mozilla from the allow list as suggested in the troubleshooting and then re-added it, but that didn't help, Any suggestions? I'm running a full virus scan now, it's been 2.5 hours now and still running. I can't figure out what is stopping FF from accessing internet and so far none of the suggestions have worked. I'm running windows 8. I'm trying to install the troubleshooting info but it keeps asking me what to open the xpi file with and I have no idea. dammit this is so annoying. Ok, got the troubleshooting info added manually. Hope that helps someone help me.

Thanks, that didn't work either. I finally got it figured out with some help from a co worker. My norton antivirus was blocking the upgrade,even though the upgrade had disabled it. Weird, but once we updated and downloaded the new norton things worked fine. Thanks everyone for the suggestions.

My ipad 2 won't connect to internet

My ipad 2 won't connect to wi-fi after installing new modem/router. It says connected in settings but " no server connection " message appears when I try to go on internet. All other devices work fine.

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.
Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim

My ipad 2 won't connect to the internet

my ipad 2 won't connect to the internet

Ok. Do other things work on your home internet?
Generally, you go into settings, wifi and you should see the name of your home network. Tap on that and you should be prompted to enter the password you set up on your network (presuming it's password protected).
If it just stopped working, you can always try to power cycle the router....as in unplug the router's power. Count to ten, plug it back in and let it reboot.

What are you trying to do?
The Bluetooth is meant for earplug, headset, keyboard, car hands-free set, and speakers.
You need a 3rd party app to do BT file transfer or other functions between iDevices.

If you carefully follow all of the instructions in this tip and none of them restore WiFi then your radio chip has failed and you need to get the phone replaced by Apple.

Ipad 2 won't connect to MY laptop - help

My ipad 2 won't connect to my laptop properly. It used to work fine, I haven't done it in a while (5 months). It charges with usb charger.
When i plug it in, Windows 7 plays the little tune indicating something is connected (tada!), but nothing show up in "My Computer" or itunes. On device manager it shows that something is plugged in to the usb port and there is some exchanged of power. Nothing changes on the ipad (does not display "not charging" at the top right)
When I plug it in to another laptop, it works fine. Other things I plug into my laptop work the way they should. So it's a problem with my computer and the ipad.
On apple support, I have followed all the troubleshooting steps for problems with connecting ipad to itunes. (nothing worked) I've also updated itunes, updated my ipad, reset my ipad and restarted my computer and various other trivial things.

Hopefully this will help:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows

MacBook Pro won't connect to home wifi, but will connect to other networks

Help! MacBook Pro won't connect to home wifi but will connect to other networks. Others can connect to my home network. I've tried diagnostics, resetting the router, restarting my computer, and forgetting the network and then trying to access it. Nothing works.

Hey Brittany,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you’ve done quite a bit of troubleshooting to try and resolve the issue with your MacBook Pro not connecting to your Wi-Fi network. If you haven’t already, take a look at the article linked below which provides some additional troubleshooting suggestions that may help you resolve the issue.

My iPad 2 loses wifi connection on home network?

My iPad 2 loses wifi connection at home, iPhone remains constant and macbook remains constant. iPad rechecks every couple of minutes, then about every 15min or so loses connection, then I have to reselect network. Wifi is working on husbands iPad and iPhone without problem... suggestions?
Is a pain while surfing - suddenly get the "no internet connection", have to exit and go to settings and reselect the network. Frequently takes more than one attempt to reconnect.
Thanks

Try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.
