IPad Air, freezing & losing wifi connection

Have had the iPad Air (128GB) since December 2013. Up until the recent security update (7.0.6) has worked as needed.
In the past few weeks performance has been terrible beginning with hard resets that were not initiated by me resulting in a loss of all emails (thankfully I do not rely on the iPad as my main source of sending and receiving). What is lost to me was all emails sent from the iPad. This has not reoccurred.
What has been a constant is constant freezing of the sceen. Unable to swipe or initiate anything for upwards of minutes. Hitting the home button does nothing until it un-freezes. Additionally, wifi signals are being lost all to frequently where the iPad is not able to even see the network that other Apple products are on.
I first blamed the network (restarted it multiple times) yet every other apple product had no issues (Apple TV to iMac's to other older iPads, etc.), then the internet source (nope).
It seems every 30 minutes my iPad is claiming there is no network or is freezing.
For the most part this is a light use item with 100GB's of free space as I write. I use it mostly for reading and airplay and my last resort is to restore it as it is an issue.
Any others with similar issues or even a solution.
Thanks in advance.

  • IPad (3rd gen) losing wifi connection during BBC iPlayer downloads

    Hi,
    I am having a strange, app-specific problem with my iPad 3rd generation (wifi only, 64GB) running iOS 6.1.3.
    When I use the BBC iPlayer app (version 2.0.5.33) to download a TV show to watch offline, my iPad almost always loses wifi connection a minute or two into the download, and it stays disconnected until I go into Settings > Wifi and select my home network again. If I resume the download in iPlayer, the same issue will typically recur within a minute or two.
    I am not having any other connectivity problems with this iPad, and other sizeable downloads (e.g. from iTunes, from the App Store etc) are not having the same issue. Similarly, I can stream live BBC iPlayer content without issue - it is just the iPlayer downloads that seem to create this condition (which then effects the whole iPad / all other running apps).
    I have tried to "forget this network", resetting network settings and restoring my entire iPad - none of these have stopped the issue. Interestingly, during restore of the iPad I received ugly BIOS-esque messages relating to AppleBCMWLANCore, which have disappeared after a hard reboot (power + home buttons together) - does this indicate a problem with the iPad hardware itself?
    Anyone else experiencing something similar? Any suggestions to fix this? Or am I dependent on the BBC updating the app?
    Cheers,
    James

    Hey James,
    I would try out standard third party application troubleshooting and see if that resolves the Wi-Fi issue. :
    1. Update your device software
    2. Check for app updates
    3. Install another app from the App Store
    4. Restart the application
    5. Restart your device
    6. Reinstall the affected application
    For more info on each step, check out the full article:
    iOS: Troubleshooting applications purchased from the App Store
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1702
    If none of those steps work, then you would want to contact the developer of the application for further assistance.
    Regards,
    David

  • IPad (3rd gen) losing wifi connection during large downloads

    Hi,
    I am having a problem with my iPad 3rd generation (wifi only, 64GB) running iOS 6.1.3.
    When I download large files (e.g. via the iTunes app, the BBC iPlayer app, The Economist app), my iPad almost always loses wifi connection a minute or two into the download, and often stays disconnected until I go into Settings > Wifi and select my home network again. If I resume the download in relevant application, the same issue will typically recur within a minute or two.
    I am not having any other problems with this iPad - general internet browsing / streaming of video has been fine. I originally thought the issue was only with the BBC iPlayer app, but sadly have found it to be more widespread.
    I have tried to "forget this network", resetting network settings, restoring my entire iPad (twice), and resetting all settings - none of these have stopped the issue. Interestingly, during the first restore of the iPad I received ugly BIOS-esque messages relating to AppleBCMWLANCore, which disappeared after a hard reboot (power + home buttons together), and did not recur on the 2nd restore.
    Anyone else experiencing something similar? Any suggestions to fix this?
    Cheers,
    James

    Locate the iPad as close as possible  to your router.
    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 droping internet connection)

  • After about a half hour or so my new iPad air looses the wifi connection

    My laptop in the same location never looses the connection. Why does it happen with my iPad air ? I can get the connection back by either shutting off my ipad or going into settings then wifi and turning wifi off and then back on again. It connects right back up. The signal strength is full, I cannot find out why it does this, does anyone else have this problem or know how to fix it ?
    Thank you for any help.j

    The prolem is from fabric, You are not the first one with that problem. Those are the bad things of buying new technology when its aout, most of time comes with problmes. I recommend you to go to an apple store and them to tell you whats going on. I had the same problem and I pay a little and they change it to me to a new ipad but from the same model.
    Turn it on a try everything on the same store like that you dont need to go again and pay again.
    Good Luck.

  • IPad mini keeps losing wifi connection

    Since yesterday my iPad mini keeps losing the wifi connection, especially when playing video on YouTube. Stopping the You Tube app and starting Safari seems to restart it temporarily but only for a short while. I've tried reinstalling the YouTube app, but it then happened playing You Tube via Safari. I've reset my router and deleted all cookies, browsing history and rebooted the iPad. Even done a complete new install of the iPad after the iOS update failed (grrrr) and deleted everything but this issue was happening before the update and after the rebuild.
    Any Ideas or help gratefully accepted.
    Thanks

  • Ipad mini freezes, loses wifi connectivity and loses touch response since IOS8. Reset has cured NOTHING.

    IS it true all these issues will not be fixed till the 20th?? My ipad2 wont work at all! This is a disaster like nothing i have encountered before and it has cost me dearly in lost business.

    Hi ..
    Sorry you're having so many problems with Wi-Fi on your iPad.
    "IS it true all these issues will not be fixed till the 20th??"
    Not sure where you got that information but not everyone is having issues with Wi-Fi on iOS 8. Mine is working fine.
    You mentioned a reset. Which one did you try that didn't work?
    Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
    You may have to re enter your Wi-Fi password.

  • IPad Keeps Losing Wifi Connection??

    Hi,
    About 2 days ago, my iPad 2 began losing wifi connection. I would have to tap "Forget this network" and then wait a bit and then tap on the network again and type in the password. After that, the iPad would gain wifi again until about 5-20 minutes later, it loses wifi connection AGAIN. Sometimes when I did that it still didn't even work! And it also bothers me because it still has the wifi sign in the top left corner of my ipad screen, even if the wifi connection is not working. This has happened continuously throughout the past 2 days. Sometimes, the wifi would work for a good amount of time before it was gone again, and sometimes it loses connection after like 3 minutes. But all the other electronics in my house are perfectly fine, it's just my iPad 2 that's been doing this.
    I tried to tap "forget all network settings" and then restart my ipad, but that didn't help. I'm not sure if it's the iPad's problem (since all the other electronics work) or if it's the wifi.
    Please help! This is very annoying.
    (And i have a new update which is 7.1.2, but that's been there for a pretty long time bc I always forget to update it. But I don't think that's the problem.)

    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.

    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.

    Mifi devices are usually quite small. Think Credit Card size, and maybe slightly thicker. So not really a big device you need to carry around.
    In any case if you are still within the 14 day return period you may be able to return it to an Apple retail store. It needs to be an Apple Owned store, not sure Authorized Resellers will let you do it.
    Other than that, bob points out, you may want to try to use the iPhone as a hotspot for the iPad.  If your Carrier supports it.  Like the Mifi device, the iPhone will share its cellular internet connection out to other devices over a Wireless network the iPad can use.

  • My iMac keeps on losing internet connection. Webpages get stuck after a minute or so. If I check the internet connection via diagnostics it seems to work just fine. Others, like the iPad use the same wifi connection and never fail. What can I do?

    Running 10.6.8 on Intel dual core iMac, it keeps on losing internet connection. Webpages get stuck after a minute or so. If I check the internet connection via diagnostics it seems to work just fine. Others, like the iPad use the same wifi connection and never fail. What can I do?

    Greetings,
    I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
    At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
    The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
    I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
    You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
    Good Luck - Cheers,
    M.

  • I have a problem with my new ipad air 64g with cellular. When I off my ipad for a long period of time ( around 2 hours), my ipad air freeze. Nothing is showing on screen with any button except by pressing reboot (home   on/off button)

    I have a problem with my new ipad air 64g with cellular. When I off my ipad for a long period of time ( around 2 hours), my ipad air freeze. Nothing is showing on screen with any button except by pressing reboot (home   on/off button). Anyone out there can help. Thanks.

    I have a 64GB iPad Air WiFi+Cellular (Verizon), and I don't see the issues you are describing.  First I would suggest that you update your iPad to the newest iOS update.  If that doesn't help, then you may want to schedule an appointment at an Apple Genius Bar.  If you go this route, I suggest that you let the iPad sleep for long enough for the problem to arise before you go to your appointment.

  • MacBook Pro losing WiFi connection. Problem with AirPort Card

    My MacBook Pro keeps losing Wifi connection. Sometimes it says no AirPort Card is installed.  It has also been freezing, and the only solution is to hold the power button to turn it off. Then I have to restart the computer, but everything I was working on is lost.
    Any ideas what is wrong or how to fix?

    Sounds like your WiFi chip is going bad. Have you gotten it checked by an Apple Store rep ?
    Have you deleted the contents of /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration, rebooted and tried ?

    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

  • Ipad3 losing  wifi connection after IOS 7.1 DL.  FIX??  I have reset, rebooted, etc.  This is unacceptable.

    my ipad 3 is losing wifi or not letting streaming content happen after DL of IOS 7.1.  WIll not connect to the internet either.  Fix?? I have rebooted everything. HELP! now i have a $600 brick.

    it sounds from your description like you have not made peace with your router.  suggest you reboot the router and the pad (as you have probably already done).  In settings, wifi - "forget" the network, the rejoin.  You will need to re input your password.
    In one case, I needed to actually change the password in the router, then rejoin - that seemed to wake it up.
    To test what is happening, go somewhere that has a public wifi - like a starbucks or Macdonalds - Make sure your wifi works there.  

  • Ipad air 2 no longer connects to BT mail

    After installation of iOS8.1.1, iPad Air 2 no longer connects to BTmail accounts.  Mail settings appear to be the same as on iPhone5 with the same iOS version which does connect just fine.  Have tried wiping and reinstalling mail accounts without success.  Any ideas?

    Yes Meherally I tried that earlier today. The router had been off all night and the ipad was the only thing I attempted to connect.
    Diavonex , I have rebooted the thing at least 5 times. This has been going on for days.
    Starting to think its the ipad...
    Thanks guys : )
