IPad iOS 4.2.1 WIFI problems (Server cannot connect)

my iPad is experiencing problems where after 5 minutes of browsing pages stop loading and I get an error saying cannot connect to server. any ideas? my router is lnksys and this is getting really annoying to renew cache evey 3 minutes.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
One solution that has helped some users of Linksys and Belkin routers in particular is to power cycle the router. Make sure it is completely shutdown, not just reset.
Then reset the network in the iPad.
And if the problem persists, change channels in the router, there may be interference from another network causing part of the problem.

    Nah... there simply is not iOS 6 Wi-Fi problem with the 4S.  I have not experienced any issues and neither has anyone else I know with iPhones.
    User's like yourself really should drop the attitude and try some basic troubleshooting.

  • ITunes tells me there is an update (5.1) but it never gets any further than trying to connect to the iPad server. I've tried updating directly from my iPad and it too times out saying it cannot connect to any server. My regular Apple updates work fine.

    I haven't updated yet. Apple's download servers have been too busy. Did you know you can update via wifi instead of connection to your computer?
    Here's a description of the update. Not a lot of changes for iPad 1/2.

    You can wait a while & update at your convenience.

  • Trouble updating to iOS 5 on my wife's iPhone 4 connected to our iM, right before download finishes downloading iTunes comes back with the error message Software corrupted during download.  Please check network settings and try again later.

    Try disabling your firewall; both on your PC and the external Firewall/Router.

  • DPM 2012 R2 Rollup 1 x64.. cant save scheduled report.. gives error: "Reporting services server cannot connect to the dpm database"

    The error also has "to repair the configuration, follow steps for repairing dpm from DPM setup help ID: 3001
    I tried the solution outlined here:
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/8be919ee-f358-47a4-9cc3-d23eb05d3f18/system-center-2012-r2-dpm-smtp-issue-reporting-services-server-cannot-connect-to-the-dpm?forum=dataprotectionmanager
    and also the graphical depiction here: http://www.ms4u.info/2014/01/reporting-services-server-cannot.html
    I tried these steps, but everytime i try to change it, it tells me:
    "The permissions granted to user 'domain\userid' are insufficient for performing this action rsaccessdenied..
    Nothing seems to work.. 
    I thought if i went into sql management studio and made sure my userid had admin rights to the db it would work.. but i cant change it there (via integrated security).. i believe i need to login as SA, but i dont recall the password for SA, though it appears
    i can change the SA password from within sql management studio.. i'm unsure if doing so will break DPM though or is even needed to fix the reporting integration issue..
    Any thoughts on this?
    Thanks
    Tech, the Universe, Everything: http://tech-stew.com

    Using:
    data source="servername\MSDPM2012";persist security info=False;initial catalog=DPMDB 
    I used the domain sqlservice account and test connection was ok.
    However.. accessing reports still crashes in the MMC
    Tech, the Universe, Everything: http://tech-stew.com
    When i recreated the db.. i called it Reporting2 or similiar.. 
    Then the reports folder i created called "Reports Folder"
    Then datasource name "reports datasource"
    The issue here is that the DPM reports in the reporting web interface are gone, since this is a new DB.. how do i redeploy them
    Tech, the Universe, Everything: http://tech-stew.com
    i went back into the sql reporting services area.. hit change db.. chose the original .. then back to the url.. went to the OLD reporting services folder and datasource.. added the connect string and now reporting area works.. so does scheduling..
    Problem now solved
    Tech, the Universe, Everything: http://tech-stew.com
    Oops spoke too soon.. the first time i set it to do "status" as a schedule.. it seemed to work (clicked ok, no error).. went back and added an email notification..
    Now i'm getting.. "an error occurred causing the reporting job to fail" "system files may be corrupt".
    Seems to only occur if i try to add the email address portion
    Tech, the Universe, Everything: http://tech-stew.com
    rechecked the datasource.. i think there was an error in the connect string.. now everything seems to be working.. email notifications and all.

    Hi,
    We have had several customers report this after installing DPM 2012 R2.
    To get past the below error while scheduling reports to be mailed.
    Reporting Services Server cannot connect to the DPM database.
     To repair the configuration, follow steps for repairing DPM from DPM Setup Help.
     ID: 3001
    Perform the following steps as necessary:
    1. Created a new local group called "DPMDBReaders$<DPMServerName>"
    2. Created a new user called, "DPMR$<DPMServerName>" and added this user to DPMDBReader group that we created on step 1.
    3. Open SQL management studio and  add the DPMDBReaders$<DPMServerName  group to Logins under Security in SQL Management Studio.
    4. Modify the properties and under General – change the default database to the current DPMDB name.
    5. Under User Mapping – select the current DPMDB name and check the db_datareader checkbox.
    6. In SQL Management Studio, navigate to the Databases > DPMDB > Security > Users > and select the DPMDBReaders$<DPMServerName>" group.  
    Right-click the DPMDBReaders$<DPMServerName>" group and select properties. Under the
    Securables section, click on Search. On the add objects dialog, click OK. 
    On the Select Objects dialog, click the Objects type, then check the
    stored procedure checkbox. Browse and add the following two stored procedures
     “Prc_MOM_Heartbeat_Get” and “prc_MOM_ProductionServer_Get”.    Grant the Execute permission for both of the stored procedures added. 
    7. In SQL Reporting Services Configuration manager, under Report Manager URL - click on the link to open the portal (http://localhost/Reports)
          i. Click on the DPMReoprts_GUID to open the DPM reports.
          ii. Click on the DPMReporterDataSource
          iii. On the poperties page, enabled "Credentials stored securely in the report server" on DPMReporterDataSource configuration page and added “DPMR$<DPMServerName>” user account that we created in step 2. 
          iv.  tick "Use as Windows credentials when connecting to the data source." 
          v.   Click ‘Test connection’ on the same page to verify whether it can connect successfully.
    8.  In SQL Reporting configuration manager - change the Service Account to use build-in account: Network Service
    9. Reboot the DPM Server.
    10. You should then be able to schedule e-mailed reports.

  • IPad iOS 8.0.2 WiFi issues and mitigation

    So, I've been having lots of issues with WiFi connectivity and my iPad Air ever since updating from iOS 7.1.2 to 8.0.2, and it sounds like I'm not alone.  I've verified that the issue is not local to my home WiFi network (I can reproduce the issue on other WiFi networks) and I've preformed a fresh install of iOS 8.0.2, which did not help.
    This *****, but until a fix comes out I've found the following procedures seem to get me back on the network....at least for a while.
    1). A Reset:
    http://www.imore.com/how-restart-or-reset-your-iphone-or-ipad
    2.)  Disabling the Wi-Fi Networking services:
    http://www.iphonehacks.com/2014/09/fix-ios-8-wifi-problems.html
    Neither of these will fix the issue for long, but both have seemed to work for a while.

    Don't do it. I updated my iPod touch 5th Generation to ios 8.0.2 and it will keep dropping wifi, and safari has lots of bugs. I suggest waiting to 8.0.3 where we shall see if the update fixes wifi issues for real.
    Hope this helps

  • IOS 6.1.3 wifi problems

    Hi, and i have been having problems with wifi and ios 6.1.3. I log in to my wifi, hit join, and it says "Unable to join the network *****". Then i hit join a few more times, and it works. Why is this? I have a Cisco Linksys E3200 router. Is there a problem with iPads and cisco routers?

    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

    Try this first - Reset 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. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
    Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts   Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

  • My phone wont back up or sync to itunes 10.6. i have a windows 7 32 bit laptop. i have tried updating the ios and receive the message saying it cannot connect to the iphone update server please check network connection. any help

    have a iphone 4. i have downloaded the latest version of itunes to update the ios. I am having problems with the back up and sync and also the update. the update error message is coming up saying it cannot connect to the iphone update server. I am useing a windows 7 32 bit laptop. I have also reset my phone to factory settings. Would taking it to one of the stores and they would do it for me??
    any help will be great thank you

    All I can tell you is that I am having the exact same problem with an iPod Touch and that I was running iTunes 9.2.1.5 at the time it happened. Upgraded to 10.0.0.68 hoping that it might help, but no joy.
    I don't want to do a restore just now since the Touch seems to be working fine. Restore will have to wait until I have plenty of free time in case something goes wrong.

  • I just bought my IPAD 3 will not activate says activation server cannot be reach. How to fix this and should I take it back and get a different one.

    I have never had anything apple before and I just bought this IPAD 3rd gen. I begin doing the process of starting it up. I get to activation and it wont go any further. I have tried numerous times. Says "Your IPad cannot be activated because the activation server cannot be reachrf. Try connecting you iPad to iTunes to activate it, or try again in a couple of minutes." I am lost. Not a tech guru... Any help is wonderful. And is this a good model?
    Thanks. Crystal

    Nevermind. All i had to do was close out of itunes and reopen it and then it activated it. If anyone else is having this problem, try that trick and i hope it helps

  • HT204409 I keep seeing "change my router" as a solution to wifi problems, I cannot change hotel routers! ***, please Apple, I have been a big fan but this is crazy, only my Apple products are not working on wifi!

    This wifi issue is bad, all other products I have work fine, but my iPad (fully update, re-installed, re-booted, etc...) will not work. Time to return it and switch to another vendor? Many of the solutions I see are change your router. I cannot change a Hotel router, a companies router! Please Apple fix this ASAP prem price and not working!

    the iPad should work with most wifi routers.  There are some old wife routers it may not.  Your ipad coiuld have a hardware problem.
    Does it work with some routers?  Have you hung out in the lobby of the hotel and asked if other ipad users are having a problem.  What does the hotel staff say? 
    You could carry a mini wifi router with you and connect the mini via ethernet cable.
    Find the make and model of the wifi router.  We can check if other ipad owners are having problem.
    a 4g solution.
    I recently signed up for FreedomPop.com. http://www.freedompop.com
    FreedomPop provides 500meg of free 4g cellular data per month!  You do need to buy their wireless device at $39.  Your machine needs wifi capability. There are ways of getting bonus megs.  One gig of addition data costs $10 per month.  I used about 15megs per hour of lite internet surfing.
    When signing up, you need to be careful with your selections.  On some screens, the free option is a small link below the large button.  FreedomPop employs a Pavlovian Dog < Operant conditioning > thing of getting you used to clicking on the large button then they change the large button to a paid add-on.
    Once you setup your account, you need to go to your account options screen to turn off automatic paid data download once you exceed your quota.
    The performance seems a little slower than my DSL connection.

  • Serious problem with AppStore/iTunes WiFi Store. Cannot connect

    Hi
    I has a serious problem with my iPod Touch: When I tries to open App Store on my iTouch, I usually gets this message: *"Cannot connect to iTunes Store"*, often followed by *"Cannot retrieve download information. Please connect with iTunes."*. iTunes on my MacBook seems to work just fine.
    I might also be able to use the AppStore for a minute or so, and then the problems are coming back. All other internet-enabled apps is working fine, except the iTunes WiFi Store who's having the same problems as AppStore.
    What should I do?

    That would be a wonderful suggestion if my computer could connect to iTunes. Since about July my computer keeps giving me error 11222. I've tried everything on the support discussion board, but they haven't solved the problem either, and my software is up to date. Today instead of giving me the error, it's just been sitting for hours saying "Accessing iTunes Store". I was really hoping that I could just use the wifi on the iPod to access the iTunes and AppStore. Any other suggestions until iTunes gets fixed on my computer? Thanks for your help - Lex
