IPad internet connectivity failure

I was sailing along with my 40-hour-old iPad2, getting all the apps in the right folders, setting up and using email accounts, having a wonderful time surfing the web. And then, Wham! My brand-spanking-new 32GB White Wi-Fi model decided it didn't like the Internet and refused to join the rest of the civilized world.
After talking to an Apple rep, quitting the home network and rejoining it a couple of times, doing a complete Restore (there goes all those hours spent moving apps into folders and getting the settings for sounds, etc., almost right) twice. Nothing.
I've got an appointment at the Indianapolis Apple Store tomorrow afternoon. If that minor problem cannot fixed by the good folks at Keystone, where the connectivity issue did not raise its head while there Friday on a couple of other issues (did you know your Touch, and possibly your iPad, can have slooooow issues if you leave apps running in the latest version of iOS? By double tapping the home button and holding down an app icon at the bottom, the jiggles begin, the minus sign pops up and you can immediately close all those little guys making the Touch run slowly). But then, last evening ...
Is it possible someone in this community has found a similar problem and has found a solution?

IPad Internet connection preference

Simple question:
I have an iPad 2 WiFi & 3G model with SIM card installed. If, say, I'm in my apartment and my iPad is connected to my home WiFi network (which has access to the internet), how will it prefer to connect to the internet: through WiFi or directly through its 3G connection?
Thanks

verizon has a glitch so that turning 3G on and off often requires a reboot of machine, so prefer to leave both wi-fi and 3G on at same time -- so resolving which preferentially serves data is valuable to me (and perhaps to other verizon iPad users)

Safari - Internet Connection Failures

My fathers Mini Mac has started to play up when using Safari. When surfing, the connection will appear to have been lost and no page can be loaded. The only apparent solution is a restart.
I downloaded Google Chrome to see if that was affected in the same way. It appears to be affected too.
What is strange though, is that Mail seems to run and connect fine after the browser failure. My iPhone has a full internet connection, so no problems with the wireless.
Any ideas?

Hi,
Make sure it's not a proxy...
Open System Preferences / Network then click the Advanced button then select the Proxies tab.
If any of the boxes are checked on the left under: Select a protocol to configure: Deselect the boxes then click Ok.
Restart the Mac.
And just to make sure it's not a connection issue, click the Assist Me button then click Diagnostics in System Preferences / Network. If any of the buttons on the left are red, click Continue.

HT1695 iPhone + iPad internet connection?

I have an iPhone, and would like to get an iPad, but because an iPad with cellular is so much more expensive (I am willing to buy it if it is necessary), I was wondering if there was any way you culd use your iPhone to get internet connection where there is not wifi on your iPad? Maybe through iCloud or something?
Thanks ever so guys!

If your phone carrier supports the personal hotspot function (and you many need to contact them in case it's an extra fee/subscription) then yes, you can use that to share its 3G connection with the iPad - the iPad will see it as a wifi network.

MacBook Pro internet connection failure.

I have a 13" MacBook Pro with Lion and I connect it to Internet through WiFi. But in order to watch contents on a bigger screen I use to connect it to the TV as well via MiniDisplay Port-HDMI. But as soon as I connect it to the TV, the Internet connection is disrupted. If I disconnect it from the TV´s HDMI, the internet connection works as normally. What can be the cause?

Troubleshoot ipad internet connection

I have no internet connection but its connected to the wifi and now the app store wont load or or the safari wont load and i can't check to see if i can upload it and im not sure why it wont if its connected to the wifi

I have no clue what you're talking about. Perhaps you can rephrase with correct spelling and real sentences that include initial caps and periods and other grammatical niceties.

Another internet connection failure

I have an iMac G5, Macbook, and PC Laptop hooked up to an Airport Express Base Station. I will suddenly lose internet connection (not network connection) with the iMac while the Macbook and PC run fine. If I turn off the G5's airport card and turn it back on, it internet will start running again, but only for a minute or two. I have seen many posts on here with the exact same problem, but have yet to see a solution. Is there some type of buffer that is getting full? I can't figure out why resetting the G5's airport will only fix it for a few minutes.

You would do better re-posting over in the AirPort Express Forums where the Airport users hang out.

Longterm internet connection failure

Suddenly while surfing my internet connection dropped out. I am using an "unwired" modem connected by ethernet. I tried replacing the ethernet cable, it did nothing. I tried the modem on another computer and could get connection. On my computer i ran Network diagnostics which showed the built-in ethernet was fine, the network settings were fine, and the ISP, ineternet and server were all failed.
The modem showed adequate reception but the status light at the back for PC activity was blank. I contacted the ISP helpdesk and they could detect the modem but not my computer. At a loss I backed everything up and started again from scratch, deleting everything and rebooting.
And SUCCESS ... for three days.
And so it begins again. This time I ran diagnostics in disc utility also and came up with nothing. I tried Mac support and the only suggestion the internet trouble shooting document had which I hadn't tried was to run a hardware test, unfortunately my macbook did not come with a hardware test disc and so I am out of options.
Rebooting every three days doesn't seem like a very practical solution. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

I have tried changing the ethernet cabl, it made no difference. I tried tghe modem (and both ethernet cables) on a different computer and there were no problems. I tried all of that sort of stuff first before I tried rebooting. Cheers though

Internet connectivity failure

We are using a TC as a Wi-Fi to access internet. Around 12 people are connected to it, but some of them -some times only- don't have access to internet, although they have local access. What could be happening?

Ok.. I woud do a few things..
First of all, load 5.6 utility into a computer.. any windows computer.. easy.. any Mac up to lion.. easy.. and Mountain Lion is a bit hard but can be done.
Only 5.6 utility has access to the log and access to the wireless client graphs. v6 is useless.
See below for how to install 5.6 if you only have ML
I recommend a new clean setup of the TC..
where you change all names to SMB compatible.. this is important for non-apple devices.. and will help iOS as well.
Short names.. less than 20 characters.. no spaces.. pure alphanumeric.
Give a different name to 5ghz. This is important because it will allow you to control the load.. some devices can only use 2.4ghz but some will do either band.. if you force some of the load to 5.6 it will work better.
Time Capsule works on both bands.. but by default, almost nothing joins 5ghz unless you force it.
WPA2 Personal security only.. Use a 10-20 character password.. pure alphanumeric.
Now the most important part.
Use manual radio channels.. fix it yourself to what works best.. for 2.4ghz try in order.. 11, 6. 1
and for 5ghz try any of the low channels.. 36-40.
So the setup looks like this. (in 5.6 utility of course).
Your country will of course be different.
Then you can see the wireless log info.
I would also make sure that the dhcp server is set to a fairly short lease time to ensure you don't run out.
Since the TC is bridged you would do that on the main router.
How to load 5.6 into ML.
1. Download 5.6 for Lion.
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
Click to open the dmg but do not attempt to install the pkg.. it won't work anyway.
2. Download and install unpkg.
http://www.timdoug.com/unpkg/
Run unpkg on the desktop.. it is very simple.. drag the AirPortUtility56.pkg file over to unpkg.. and it will create a new directory of the same name on the desktop.. drill down.. applications utilities .. there lo and behold is Airport utility 5.6 .. drag it to your main utilities directory or just run it from current location.
You cannot uninstall 6.1 (now 6.2 if you updated) so don't try.. and you cannot or should not run them both at the same time.. so just ignore the toyland version.. the plastic hammer.. and start using 5.6.. a real tool.
For screen shots see this post.

INTERNET CONNECTION NOT DETECTED message with Crystal Reports 2011

Hello:
We upgrade from SQL 3008 R2 to SQL 2012 SP1. Had trouble with Crystal Reports not opening reports. Information on the internet indicated that you had to reinstall Crystal Reports after upgrading SQL. We did a repair of Crystal Reports 2011. I have the box checked to check for updates when Crystal Reports starts. I am now getting INTERNET CONNECTION NOT DETECTED and the application will not check for updates. We have tried turning of the firewall and almost everything else we can think of. I have access to the internet from that server and IE9 works just fine. Can anyone help, please.
Thank You,

TS1398 my ipad is connected to my wifi, but can't access the internet.

When I am in the same room as my wireless router, my Ipad accesses the internet correctly. When I go into a room where my Ipad and laptop couldn't reach my router, I installed an extender. Now, my laptop and my wife's Ipad can access the internet, but my Ipad can't. What should I do?
