Ipad can't connect to internet using 30 pin

Hi
My question is i am trying to connect to Internet using Ipad 2 WIFI version only. By using 30 pin connector connects to my Mac Mini. I thought this is supposed to work and able to connect to the internet, but it isn't happening.
I don't have WIFI access at this location so i need to connect to Internet by using Mac Mini as tethering.
Please help or advice.
thanks

You can create an ad-hoc Wi-Fi network on your Mac Mini using the built in airport card and network sharing pane.
Provided that you Mac Mini is on this will broadcast a Wi-FI signal that you can you can now connect your iPad to.
Step by step
click on Apple menu and open System Preferences
Under Internet & Wireless click on the Sharing folder
In the left hand pane tick Internet sharing
In the right hand side where it says Share your connection from select Ethernet
Under To computers using tick Wi-Fi
Now click the Wi-Fi Options button
You are now going Add a name for your Wi-Fi Network (It will broadcast its SSID by default)
Select a channel select 6 or 11
Set a security level and password click ok. RIGHT DOWN THE PASSWORD !
Now go to your iPad .
Tap on Settings then Wifi and slide the Wifi button to on and allow iPad to scan for your network name.
When found tap on it and in the next window enter the password as written down.
You iPad will now be sharing the Mac Mini Internet and should allow you to use Safari/ e-mail etc......
All cable free as far as the iPad is concerned.

depending on your experience level should tell you all you need to know.
You don't need mobile me, you just need to know your mac's ip and have vnc
client software of some sort running on the machine you are travelling with.
Read the entire article, as once you get past the part about monitoring multiple machines there is some useful info.

IPad will not connect to Internet using 3G

I have an iPad 2 with both wi fi and 3G capabilities. I purchased Verizon month to month plan once I purchased it from the Apple store. My iPad works fine with wi fi but if I am on the road and try to use my 3G it randomly will stop working for days then suddenly will work again. And yes my account is always paid up with Verizon so I don't understand why I can't connect to Internet unless I use my wifi. Any suggestions?

Check with Verizon to see if they have good coverage in the areas where you don't get 3G.

Can't connect to internet using Nokia Suite

Hello. I have a Nokia Asha 311. I could connect to internet using my USB cable and Nokia Suite without trouble in another computer similar to the one I'm using now. The difference is that that computer had windows 7 and this one has Windows xp (probably there are more differences, but this is the most noticeable). I have Nokia Suite version 3.8.48, it recognizes my phone, but everytime I tried to connect to the internet using the phone as modem, it says, inmediately (it isn't even trying to connect) "Failed to establish a network connection"
What can I do? If I was able to use my Nokia Asha 311 in the other computer as a modem, I'm sure I can use here too for that. But there is something preventing it from working well. What can it be? I have already read the other posts about similar issues but I haven't found any solution in them.

Hi overo,
Welcome to the forum!
Is the OS of your Windows XP PC updated? It's advisable to keep both PC and phone's software up-to-date. Try also to repair Nokia Suite to isolate the issue. Just click the PC's start button, and then go to All Programs > Control Panel > Installed applications. Select Nokia Suite, and then choose Uninstall / Change > Repair. After this step, try to share our phone's connection to your PC and see if it'll work. Make sure that Nokia Suite mode is selected in your Asha 311 when sharing the internet connection to your PC via Nokia Suite.
Let us know how it will go.

Connected to network but can't connect to internet using wireless

Hi, I just installed a Linksys WRT 45G and can connect my pc and my laptop to it and use the internet fine when I use ethernet cable, but if I try to use my laptop wirelessly I can't connect to the internet. It says that I am connected to my network and that strength signal is excellent but no internet connection. I have that bluetooth button on the front of the laptop turned on. The laptop is a Toshiba Satellite with Centrino. I was told that I don't need to buy a wireless card as the Centrino already does this. Thanks in advance for your help.

I think you can try to update the firmware of the router, to check if that stops connection dropping. To update the firmware of router try this: 1. Go to www.linksys.com/download and select correct model number and version number. Download the firmware and save it on your computer. 2. Check the file it sould be firmware image file like .bin etc. If it is a compressed zip file extract it to get firmware image file. 3. Open setup page of router by typing http://192.168.1.1 in browser’s address bar, and typing password as "admin" and no user name. 4. Go to administartion tab there 5. Go to fimware update sub-tab there 6. Browse for the firmware image file and click update 7. when update completes turn off modem & router. 8. After 2 minutes turn on modem and after 2 more minutes turn on router. To get network key, connect your computer to one of the four ports on router using ethernet cable. 1. Open setup page of router by typing http://192.168.1.1 in browser’s address bar, and typing password as "admin" and no user name. Use your password if you have changed it earlier 2. Go to wireless tab. 3. Go to wireless security sub-tab 4. If security mode is wpa or wpa2 note down passphrase/shared key, if security mode is WEP note down wep key number 1. This will be your network key Well you need to input all the wireless settings of your wireless network on Wii. To get these settings: 1. Open setup page of router by typing http://192.168.1.1 in browser’s address bar, and typing password as "admin" and no user name. 2. Goto wireless tab. Here you will get the wireless network name/SSID. Here make sure wireless SSID broadcast is enabled. 3. Now goto wireless security sub-tab and here you will get the security mode and the security key. If security type is WPA note passphrase/shared key, and if its WEP note down wep encryption level and key 1 from listed 4 keys

Can't connect to internet using 4G

So here's the deal. Recently upgraded to the 4S since my old iPhone broke. I had iCloud backup, used it, but I guess iCloud doesn't backup your music. So the other day I connected it to iTunes to get my music back and now I can't connect to the internet away from home. I can connect to wifi and use the net just fine, but can't use it via 4G. It obviously has something to do with the fact that I connected my phone to iTunes. Just not sure what to do here. I know I can restore my phone and the 4G service will likely work again, but that doesn't solve my issue permanently. I still need to connect to iTunes again to get my music back and to get updates etc. Any suggestions?

I am trying to connect to internet wirelessly, using my Airport Extreme (802.11n), but it won't work. When I use the ethernet cable directly to my MacBook Pro (as I am now) internet comes fine. I have done many tests, change configuration, but nothing works. I really don't know what the problem is and what to do.
Thks for helping,

Just as an update, I have been able to reestablish connection by resetting the airport base.

Can't Connect to Internet using AirPort Extreme Card and DLink Router

I have tried just about everything, but I can't seem to connect my MAC OS X 10.3.9 to the internet. I am using the Airport Extreme Card and no networks show up. I am trying to connect to my DLink router. I was told by DLink that it is compatible with AirPort Extreme cards, but the guys at Best Buy were unable to connect to their wireless routers, other than their Mac Router. Please let me know if you have a solution! Thanks

dannabee, Welcome to the discussion area!
What Mac do you have?
Do you have iMac G5 or a Power Mac G5?
Did you install the AirPort Extreme card yourself?

Can't connect to internet using 3G or WLan on Satellite A110-178

I am not able to connect to the internet neither with my 3G modem or wireless.
The error messages says i should check the settings or that it's impossible to find any connections.
When i turn on the computer, i've noticed that it takes longer than usual and there comes an error message which says this:
+"Failed to connect to a windows service windows could not connect to the System Event Notification Service service.+
+This problem prevents limited users from logging on to the system. As an administrative user, you can review the System Event Log for details about why the service didn't respond."+
I would most appreciate any ideas on how to solve this. i've tried to turn off my antivirus program as well as the firewall and all the things my 3G support
told me to do.
Thanks a lot!
/Lena

Hey Lena,
Have you already checked the system event log as the error message suggest? This is always an interesting thing where you can try to find more informations about this error so please check this first!!!
Im not a Windows specialist but check the Services (Start > Run > services.msc). Make sure that System Event Notification Service is running or try restarting this service.
By the way: Can you also tell us what OS you are using at the moment?
The driver for WLAN card is up to date?

My network is fine, iPad can't connect to internet via any router, even when other computers work fine.

About a week ago, my daughter's iPad2 stopped connecting to the internet. It will connect to some of the routers in the house, but not all, but then just hangs in Safari, netflix, app store...basically anything that requires going online. Even if the signal is super strong and other computers connect to the internet just fine, the iPad just won't.
I've tried everything short of a full reset. We're in IOS 5.1.1. 6 gigs free. She's frustrated because it's summer vacation and she would really like to watch netflix.

Hi Jenroses,
I would suggest backing up your iPad and updating it to the latest iOS, which is iOS 6.1.4
The links below should help you with this:
Choosing an iOS backup method (Should I use iTunes or iCloud to back up my iOS device?)
iOS: How to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
Be sure that you are in range of your Wi-Fi router (access point).
Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and turn Wi-Fi off and then on again.If unable to do so, see this article.
Confirm that your Wi-Fi router and Cable or DSL modem are connected to power, turned on, and indicate that they are connected to the Internet.If not, refer to your network administrator or ISP for assistance.
Restart your iOS device.
Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and locate the Wi-Fi network to which you are connected. Then tap the blue dot and choose Forget this Network. Try to connect to your desired Wi-Fi network again.
Note: You will need to enter your Wi-Fi password again if your desired network requires one.
Turn your Wi-Fi router off and then on again2. If your ISP also provides cable or phone service, check with them before attempting this step to avoid interruption of service.
Update your device to the latest version of software.
Update your Wi-Fi router to the latest firmware2.For AirPort Base Stations, see this article for information about firmware updates.
If your issue is still unresolved
Follow the steps below for the issue you are experiencing.
Unable to locate a Wi-Fi network
Unable to connect to a Wi-Fi network
Wi-Fi disconnects, or signal strength is less than expected
Unable to access the Internet while connected to Wi-Fi
Unable to automatically connect to Wi-Fi
I hope this information helps ....
Have a great day!

Can't connect to internet using my airport, PPPoE connection. Any suggestions?

I am trying to use my airport express as a wireless router. My internet connection is a PPPoE one.
Any suggestions?

Is it really? In the apple web page it says it´s a router that you could use for an apartment network, up to 10 users. That´s actually my case. It´s still an old one that I haven´t used for almost 3 years. Bought it in 2006.
