IPad cannot connect to 3G Network, but connects. Fine to grps

Hello,
I operate my iPad with postapid 3G Data Plans in Germany and Singapore AND until last Week had fast AND reliable connections on. Singtel and O2.
Since this Week, my iPad only connects to grps (Small circle Next to carrier Name ) and not to 3G anymore, althomugh strong 3G Network is available AND My iPhone connects to 3G without Problems.
The Micro SIM i use Works for 3G in Otter Devices. My iPad Runs The newest Carrier settings And The latetst Software.
Any ideas Gould Be greatly appreciated ! Thanks

thanks a lot for your answer ! i tried this many times and of course had very good reception: the same micro Sim in my iphone 4 got beautiful full 3G, while my ipad only ever got GPRS.
I finally even restored the ipad and then had for a very brief time the 3G symbol appearing just to vanish again. I brought it to Apple service center in Singapore and they immediately exchanged it for new one.
Seems I had a bad unit.
cheers

Got my ipad mini. It works perfectly fine until I updated to ios 6.0.2. Now I can't connect to wifi. I've tried every solutions offered in every forums and internet sites but nothing happened. Still ipad cannot connect to wifi. HELP!!!

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)
    •    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

Linksys help. Already tried to search forums. AirPort 'on', full signal strength but cannot connect to internet. PC, iphone, ipad all connect fine. Any ideas?

So I have been using my imac for 15 months. Never had a problem with going online. Until yesterday. Now its impossible. I am connecting via a linksys router (model WRT54G2) version 1.5. I have tried resetting modem, router. Nothing. Keep in mind my PC, iphone, ipad all connect fine to the wireless signal. It is only the imac that won't connect. The strange thing is when I check network settings it says it is connected to a linksys router at full strength. But when I click Safari, it says I am not connected. I am completely at a loss. Any help is much appreciated as Apple wants to charge me $50 for tech support, linksys $40 and Cox Communications $75. I love the lack of customer service.

I resolved a similar internet connection issue at a friends house recently, the problem was the router was set to only accept 5 wireless devices. This was not an issue before, but soon as his sons got a new wireless phones and a Mac Book Air, it used up all the available DHCP connections from his router.
His computer had the same issue,
- was connected,
- had a 169.xxx.xxx.xxx address
- did not have the DNS or router address in his current network settings.
The key point here is the same as yours, that all other devices were connected and could surf with Safari, except for that one device, in your case the iMac.
I determined his problem by manually assigning a 192.168.1.x IP address, subnet mask of 255.255.255.0, dns for his ISP and router address of 192.168.1.1. This worked, however it wouldn't when set to DHCP... went back to a 169 address.....
The real problem, the router was config'd to allow only 5 dhcp addresses to be giving out, once the 6 device tried, it would show a wireless full bar connect, a 169 address and wouldn't connect to the internet as Safaria stated it wasn't connected to the internet.
The real fix is to raise the number of dhcp wireless devices to a higher number, or possibly shorten the lease times so others can connect. He couldn't remember the password he changed on the linksys, so I left the network settings on his 6th wireless device in manual mode till he does remember the linksys password.
I bet thats was your case too. Linksys/Cisco is one of the best routers out there, I'd use airport Apple's second, and would not recommend NetGear because of support and technical issues in the past.

Can the printer also print via wifi?
If your location does’t have wifi use a portable router.

Call your ISP (Internet Service Provider) and explain them your issue, it could range from having your router configured incorrectly to having a wiring issue. Personally, I have Comcast and they are great, no issues, and awesome customer service.
Hope you get up and running ASAP

I can see my printer and iPad on router but iPad cannot connect to printer. Printer is on list of air printer models accepted. Help!

You may have to visit the printer manufacturer's web site and look into their support pages to get a print driver for your Mac, and install it. Or see if you can see if a driver may already be in your Mac by checking settings, since there are many drivers already installed in Mac OS X.
Good luck & happy computing!

Have you tried restarting the printer? Reboot the iPad as well.
Reboot 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.

My iPad cannot connect to the app store but my iPhone can, what do I need to do?

My new iPad cannot connect to the app store and iTunes after updates from several apps but my iPhone4s can. They were both recently updated to ios6. Whats wrong with this thing?

So you are saying that after you updated several apps - now you cannot connect to the iTunes or App Stores?
"My new iPad cannot connect to the app store and iTunes after updates from several apps"
Go to Settings>General>Date and Time>Set Automatically>Off. Set the date one year ahead. Try to update the apps again. If you get an error message, go back to the settings. Correct the date and time (set automatically) then go back and try to update the apps again.
Or try this ...
Settings>Privacy>Location Services>System Services (swipe to the bottom of the page to find this)>Location Based iAds>Off.
Or this ...
Reboot 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.

Then you need to change the store that you bought the apps from - correct?
Go to the featured tab of the App Store and tap on your ID at the bottom. Tap View Apple ID. Enter your password. Go to Country/Region and change it to the correct store.

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.

Can I use this DIR-635 to extend the WiFi network of the "Belgacom" WiFi?
To answer this question correctly, a user would need to have a DIR-635 router connected by Ethernet to a Belgacom router.
If you think about it, the chances of another user who has these two same devices configured this way and also being on an Apple support forum to see your post are about zero.
The following might work, but you will not know until you try.
Configure the DIR-635 to provide a wireless network that uses the exact same wireless network name, exact same wireless security and exact same password as the Belgacom wireless router. Make sure that the DIR-635 is configured in Bridge Mode.
Can I purchase and set-up an Apple Airport Express or Apple Airport Extreme on my level 1 (the ethernet cable running from level 2 to level 1 could plug-into either of those)
The AirPort Express or AirPort Extreme would need to be configured exactly the same way as mentioned above.
(What is the difference in the 2 -- one is about twice the price of the other…)

Your wifi network is not working. Restart it. Delete your wifi settings for this network via System Preferences, Network, WiFi, Advanced. Reconfigure and try again.

HP8500A all-in-one can no longer scan thru wireless network but prints fine.

HP8500A all-in-one can no longer scan thru wireless network but prints fine. Have used this device several times over past 2 years on different wireless networks (at home) but usually at some point I lose wireless scan function but maintain wireless Printing. I used to be able to reload the software and resolve the issue but now in this "new network" cannot get wireless scanning to work. Setup software; original software (CD) and current download as well as "Print/Scan Dr" hangs-up at "network check" for hours. Compaq laptop, Dell Laptop, Cell phones and Roku work fine thru network. Scanner works fine with USB to Laptops.

Which model Epsons are they?
I'm assuming you're using Yosemite (OS X 10.10), and that the problem developed when you upgraded from a previous OS.
(Your profile says 10.6.7 BTW).
Maybe the scanning function is not compatible with Yosemite.
You could try a few things:
reset your wifi system:
power down everything: modem, router, computer, printer/scanners.
wait a minute.
power them all up again, in that order: modem, router, computer, printers. Let each power up completely before going on to the next.
try a factor reset on your printer/scanner (if there is such a function). You'll have to check your manual for how. If you do that you'll have to enter the wifi password in your printer/scanner, assuming you have security on your network.
uninstall any printer manufacturer "utilities" that are on your Mac, and try Image Capture again.
If it is a compatible software issue, you could try VueScan, but I've never needed to use it.

I cannot play video on safari but works fine on google chrome? What do i need to do to fix it?

If you have the ClickToFlash extension installed, that can prevent Flash based video from streaming. Safari > Preferences > Extensions
It can also be installed as a plugin in /Library/Internet-Plug-Ins.
Try uninstalling the currently installled Flash plugin (required for most YouTube content) then reinstall new > Troubleshoot Flash Player | Mac OS
From your Safari menu bar top of your screen click Safari > Preferences then select the Advanced tab.
Select: Show Develop menu in menu bar
Now from the menu bar click Develop > Empty Caches

After connecting to Bluetooth keyboard, iPad 2 will not connect to Internet (wifi) at all. Wifi is ok, have tried turning off bltooth, wifi on iPad. It sees the network but won't connect. Help? Have also reset network settings etc

My iPad wifi was working great until I I connected it by Bluetooth to a keyboard (zagg). It was the first time I'd used Bluetooth
Immediately Internet was dropped on my ipad. My iPhone was and is still connected no prob. And I cannot get the iPad wifi to work again....at all!!!
This is major as I am away from my desktop for three months. Any fix cannot involve being at my desktop with iTunes which is 10,000 km away
So far This is what I've tried based on other discussions-
-turned Bluetooth off and unpaired to keyboard which was also turned off
- turned iPad wifi off and on (several times)
- forgot the network I useArrive Jul 19 depart Aug 25th. Originally it was Sept 9.
-- reset network settings
What happens is that the iPad sees the network and I enter my password. But, instead of getting "check mark" indicating a successful connections it keeps "circling". Sometimes the airport bars will show, but disappear or flicker. It never connects with a check noted in settings. Any attempts to use internet confirm there is no connection
My network is not a cafe or public network. It is one I regularly use here at my family's home where I am visiting
Any ideas!
