IPad air 2 wifi problems

hi all,
im having issues with my iPad Air 2 and I'm hoping someone can help!
when using the YouTube app the videos take a long time to load and while watching a video the quality keeps dropping so you can't even make out what's on the screen. I try pausing the video for a while to see if that helps but that does nothing. Eventually the quality improves and I can watch in HD again. I've usually lost 30 secs of video by then!
im finding this very frustrating and I'd love to know if this problem can be fixed??
i have the iPad 3 which has pretty old software, maybe ios6? Can't remember now. But anyway, I have no problems with that at all!
ive tried all the switch off and back on or renew lease etc and none of this works!
can anyone help me?
Thanks.
Dan

Thanks for the advice Brian. ive been messing around with YouTube a bit more and I've found that if I change the quality from "auto" to 720p the videos stream perfectly. Is that more likely to be an issue with my internet connection or the iPad?
thanks

  • Ipad Air WIFI problem with router

    I keep losing my WIFI when downloading apps or on too long.  From what I've been reading, it's a router problem.  People have suggested changing my router settings, but I don't know to what.  I have a D-Link DIR-615 draft 802.11N router that I've had for 4 years.  On the box it says it performs at 802.11g.  My other option is to buy a new router.  Will my Ipad work with all new routers, or will there still be a different setting issue?  Any suggestions on what to buy besides an Apple Airport?  From what I've read, it will be hard to set up with my current modem and PC.  Thanks in advance for all your help.

    I ended up buying a Netgear N600 model #DGND3700 and it solved my problem.  I have AT&T DSL and this is a modem/router combo (my modem was also old).  It was very easy to install.  When I first tried my Ipad again, it didn't work, so I tapped on general, reset, reset network settings and it worked just fine.  I hope this will help anyone else having trouble with WIFI.

  • Can i get sprint internet service put on a ipad air+wifi

    I want to get the internet on my ipad air+wifi?

    Unless you purchased a Sprint-model iPad, then as AmishCake said, you cannot. If you do have a Sprint-model iPad, post back with details about the problem and someone can probably offer suggestions. If you not have a Sprint-model iPad, then a "MiFi" device for Sprint or tethering through a Sprint cellphone will be your only options.
    Regards.

  • IPad Air wifi sync a lot slower than iPhone 5s?

    I just got my new iPhone 5s yesterday and found out that its wifi syncing to itunes is a lot faster than the iPad Air I bought a few days ago. Actually iPad Air wifi syncing is so much slower than iPhone 5s, almost half speed, just as slow as wifi syncing with my iPhone 4, is this normal?
    I've tested another iPad Air of my friend, and found out that his new iPad is as slow as mine. Anyone know WHY? Is there anything / settings we're missing?
    I have the latest AirPort Extreme as wifi router.

    It's not much help but here is another thread with similar problems.

    There are many people using the basic (i5) 2012 MacMini and even older ones to edit complex films in FCP X so you should have no problems.
    I have been using FCP 7 and FCP X since they came out on my 2008 iMac Core 2 Duo and am thinking of getting the same model as you rather than pay the astronomic price for a new 27" iMac.
    The performance won't be quite as fast but it will be at least 4 times faster at rendering than my old iMac.

  • Iso8 will not download to my IPad Air WiFi it says notification has been sent and I must wait, 24 hours?

    Hi, last night I updated my IPhone 4s over home wifi with no problems but I've also been trying to update my IPad Air WiFi which just keeps telling me that a notification has been sent to Apple and I have to wait for the update, that's been the case now for over 20 hours? Please can some one tell me what I've done wrong and how do I fix it.
    MAny thanks.... marldonman.

    Last night there weren't millions and millions of new iPhone users all trying to activate and fill their devices up with apps.
    This is prime time for the US but also early evening in the UK and europe, so lots of people all trying to do the same thing.
    my experience wednesday and last night was that I didn't get decent download speed until 8-9pm central time

  • How do I transfer all my data from an iPad Air wifi 32 GB to a brand new iPad Air 2 64GB?

    I received right now a brand new iPad Air2 wifi 64 GB. How do I transfer ALL MY DATA from another iPad Air wifi 32 GB ?

    Back up your old one. I use and prefer iTunes, but back up all the data, etc.
    Then unplug it. Plug your new one in and go through the setup steps. When you see the option to set up as new or restore from the backup you just made, choose that and your new iPad will be a near clone of the old one.

    has step to step instructions.
    If you are going to get rid of your old iPad, read this before you do so, just to make sure you're not inadvertantly selling someone a brick

  • Is there no GPS in ipad air wifi model ??

    Is there no GPS in ipad air wifi model ??

    Apple doesnt integrate GPS on the Wi-Fi only models, but you can still locate yourself and use Location Services only if you are connected through Wi-Fi. The cellular + Wi-Fi models are more precise on GPS as they use cellular signals to pinpoint accuracy of your location.
    If you meant GPS as in Car GPS, it will be tough to drive with a Wi-Fi only model as it will keep asking you to join networks every time your out of range. Otherwise, the Cellular+ WiFi can support connection almost wherever you go.

  • Can I use the sim from my iphone 5c in the ipad air wifi cellular?

    Can I use the sim from my iphone 5c in the ipad air wifi+cellular?

    Both the iPad Air and iPhone 5C use a nano-SIM. Physically, they will work, but your operator may have some restriction. You should check with them.

  • TS3899 I HAVE IPAD AIR HAVING PROBLEMS WITH EMAIL DELETING AFTER A SHORT TIME WITHOUT COMMAND CAN YOU HELP

    Q. I have an IPAD air having problems with my email deleting after a short while without command.

    I've had issues like this before.
    I ended up having to call my provide to reset the connection, which worked for a while, then quit. i then took it into my provider for a new sim card and had the connection re-established again. I haven't had issues since.
    hopefully for you resetting the connection with your provider will do the trick and a new SIM card wont be nessesary.

  • IPad Air wifi works but Safari returns message cannot connect to Apple server?

    using iPad Air wifi works but Safari returns message cannot connect to Apple server? (Friends iPad otherwise couldn't post!)

    Many thanks for contacting me Carolyn. However the wifi was working fine and I found the solution from this posting:

    So resetting the iPad by holding down the Home and Sleep buttons together to reset it did the job.

  • IPad air reboot problem

    Are lots of people meet the new iPad air restart problem? I have met it several times since I bought it a week. Any solution can avoid it or should I go to  store to change a new one As this is a really annoying problem.

    While I am using a application like safari, the iPad just restarted. Probably it wasn't a really restart because it just took a seconds and the a white screen with an  in the middle came up just like usually turn on the iPad  and back to lock screen and any application I was using were closed after that.

  • I want to change Ipad Air wifi to Ipad Air wifi Cellular.

    I have bought Ipad Air wifi but now I want Ipad Air Wifi + Cellular.. could I just go and ask to do it at Reception and Pay Extra money for it...?

    If you purchased it within the past 14 days and you have the original sales receipt, then that is exactly what you would do. Bring it back for a refund, and then purchase the upgraded iPad.
    Cheers,

  • I want ipad air wifi - celluar work in Egypt

    i want ipad air(wifi - celluar) model that  work in Egypt

    You need to tell us what you are doing to try to connect to the network.  Your Air won't connect on it's own.  You have to find the network and connect.

  • IPad Air wifi connection problems

    I Got a new iPad air as a gift from kids, Dec. 2013 to replace my iPad 1. this new iPad has never been able to stay connected to wifi...if I step away from using it for more than 20 min. I have to go into settings to reconnect. Everyday, all day long this has been an issue! For more than a year now ATT has been to my home and on the phone trying to resolve issues...new router/modems....run new wires....etc. I have documentation form office of the president for these issues For the past year. 3 days ago an ATT trouble support person concluded it was an Apple issue and told me to call them. I have been two days of troubleshooting over the phone with Apple Support and nothing could be fixed, they said never heard of the issue.....but I see hundreds of this issue online.....so they set up for me to have it replaced with a new one of the same....took it in last night 1/30/2015, since I have all documentation for the past year there would be no charge, but I lose my engraved iPad. Ok so get it home, set it up, restore and all those things.....working fine. Get up the next morning and guess what?? Safari cannot get a connection....mail cannot update....games won't updat....ALL of the exact same issues.  This ipad has a 90 day warranty......what is my solution to this ongoing very nerve wracking problem? all my other wireless products stay connected all the time...printer, laptops, iPhone 5s....other brands of phones....so far no problem with iPhone 6, but that phone is not here full time to check daily. I don't think I can take to much more of this run around....what is the solution please?
    Yes, everything has been tried.....reboot every product involved...reset....everything. What is Apples solution for this issue? Yes my iPad is updated. Thanks.

    Definetively I'm WiFried once again!
