IPad loses home network settings from time to time

IPad 2 loses home wireless Internet from time even though settings still indicate connected...I just click forget this network and sign in with pass word and it connects ok. Is there a setting to keep IPad from disconnecting from home network while I am in the house?

Try #5.
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

Home Network Settings on N80

I have been trying to set up the home network settings in order for me to access my files on my home computer. I have a WLAN and i am able to browse the web from my phone on it. I have enabled UpnP on my wirless router.
When i try to set it up on the phone i get the message telling me to congifure an access point. I have done this. When i try to turn sharing on I am not allowed to change any of the settings. Has anyone had any success with this and what am i doing wrong?

What is the home media server? Is it available for download?

Can't load Network Settings from System Preferences

For some reason I can't load Network Settings from System Preferences anymore - it just stalls with the bar showing "Loading Network" and doing nothing. This is happening in conjunction with a new inability to connect to a network printer - it won't show up on the list of printers, even when I manually enter the IP address. Something is obviously mucked up - can anyone tell me what it might be & how I can fix it? Thanks!

I was able to fix this myself by using one of the techniques suggested here for a different problem. Basically I went into Library/Preferences/System Configuration and deleted networkinterfaces.plist, preferences.plist & com.apple.nat.plist. All were rebuilt when I restarted and went to System Preferences/Network and I was able to load the Network Settings. This didn't fix the problem with my printer, but at least it got the settings up.

Transfer Network settings from one machine to another?

I'd like to transfer my Network locations on my old PowerBook running Panther to my new one that's running Tiger. What files would I have to move over? Is there an easier way to export these settings and import them into the new machine?

You can use the Migration Assistant to bring over network settings from one Mac OS X installation to another. The transfer can be done through FireWire or from another drive connected directly to the computer.

The local firewall is off out of the box.
The log on the Netscreen shows nothing out of the ordinary. Shows the connections being established then closed.
Support for the firewall is long gone.
I can try calling Apple but I do not look forward to that call just to be told the firewall is at fault and there is nothing they can do about it.

My iPhone 4s cannot join a public unsecured network but my iPad and macbook can. I have reset the network settings twice. Both times it worked, but only for a few minutes. What can I do?

My iphone 4s cannot join a public unsecured network, but my ipad and macbook can with no problems. I have reset the network settings on the iphone twice. Both times that fixed the problem but only for a few minutes, then I get the "cannot join network" message again. Please help! What can I do?

Anyone have any ideas or information to help with this? Any help and consideration is MUCH appreciated.

Network times out on my Windows 7 Lenovo when trying to load IOS 5 on my iPad 2 what network settings do I need to change?

When I try to upgrade my iPad 2 to IOS. 5 on my Lenovo PC it says the connection had timed out. I have disconnected the firewall and check the connection through the troubleshooting guide on the PC. Can someone tell me what network settings I need to change to make this work? Also iTunes is also up to date on this PC. If I cannot get this to work is there another way I can do a direct update to my iPad? Thanks so much

Try temporarily turning off all your firewall and antivirus software until the download has completed.
An alternative is to try downloading the update via a browser : https://discussions.apple.com/message/16703914#16703914

Why does the iPhone lose home network connection?

My new iPhone 5 keeps losing my home network connection. Any advice? I've tried resetting network settings, turning the phone off and on again and turning the router off and on again. Thanks.

I'm looking into that possibility.......have a cordless phone in the office, a PC, cell phones, etc. Will clear them out and recheck. The maddening thing is that the iBook is totally bulletproof even in that environment. Why would the iMac be having these issues, but not the iBook? Is Airport Extreme more robust, or that much better than Airport?
Even now, the iMac shows no network - yet I'm writing this on the iBook right next to it, and it's had no network interruption whatsoever.
Do you have any knowledge of those "error" notations from the syslog? Could they be pointing to anything else?
Thanks much.....

Hp Officejet Pro 8600 Premium - wireless home network printing from multiple devices

We have a wireless home network with several desk tops, lap tops and tablets using the network for internet access. There is only one printer in the home, our hp Officejet pro 8600 Premium. Right now everyone who has access to the network can print. We want to prevent printing from specific devices while allowing printing from others. How do I password protect the printer so that only certain devices may print? Or alternatively, remotely prevent devices from printing?

Well this is a little tricky. You have a 'home' network so we assume you want everyone to print went they want. If you are talking about 'guest' that come over and use the printer, the best thing is to get a router with a Guest Network which isolates your home network.
That being said there is no 'password' you can put on the printer , however you can add security.
Start/Devices and Printers/ Right click on your printer and select Printer Properties , select the Security Tab. Now you can set security.
Say thanks by clicking the Kudos Thumbs Up to the right in the post.

There is a solution; set your network settings from scratch,

If you are moving to the MBA from another mac computer, set your network settings up totally from scratch. If you have been having network wifi problems, did you migrate from another mac?
If you look at the previous macs, all of them had networking primary interface as en0 = ethernet.
On the MBA, alone of all macs, the primary network interface which is en0 is the wireless and therefore different from any mac you have used via wifi before.
There is nothing wrong with the Network interface on either but they are not the same and should not be treated as if migration can transfer the settings and be expected to work perfectly.
If you have had wifi problems, reset your network preferences, not just your wifi settings themselves.
As someone else posted in internet topic, migration could be your network problem. Reset all network and re "apply" settings if you are having wifi difficulties.

I know this is late, but here's the only way I got around this issue without having to start all over with a blank iPhone.
I restored my backup to a DIFFERENT iPhone 4. The restore still "failed" at the very end of the restore, but when the phone rebooted, everything I had restored was there! I then backed up the newly restored iPhone 4, and then restored that backup to my iPhone 5. Problem solved.
One thing to note; if you restore your original backup to an iPhone 4 that still has data on it, the restore will combine all the photo albums & Music.
I tried a lot of other things first before comming to this solution. I also jailbroke my iPhone and tried deleting the camera roll, deleting the iTunes sync information, deleting different preference files, resetting settings, etc. Nothing worked!
I also contacted Apple Care and spoke to an Advanced Support Rep. She told me that other than starting over, the only thing I could try would be to use some unsupported 3rd party software. There are a lot of great jailbroken apps that do great things with restoring data like your call log, sms, etc, but you can't use them if you can't jailbreak the device you want to restore your data to.
Apple needs to add the way to backup your iPhone data with iCloud, not just the all or nothing setting they currently have. Starting with a blank phone isn't so bad if I can backup/restore my sms log, call log, etc independantly.
Everyone who reads this should recommend this by filling out this form: http://www.apple.com/feedback/

Home network access from Iphone 4S

I have a new Ipone 4S. It recognises my home network but I get error message " Unable to join the network". When viewing networks mine has the small padlock beside it. It does not ask for a password? Any ideas please... Jeff

Hi Jeff
First of all try this
Unplug the modem,
wait 30 seconds,
plug it back in,
go to the iPhone settings and select general and then network settings and Reset the network settings,
Restart the iPhone and try to connect again, putting in your password when asked
If this does not work then we'll need some more information like
1) What else uses your home network?
2) What encryption do you have 64 bit / 128 bit etc
3) What have you tried (for ruling out purposes)
4) What router do you have?
5) Go to iphone settings, wi-fi, select the blue arrow next to your network, what does each section say?
Thanks
Craig

I set my iPad exchange with same settings from my iPhone. iPad email says it cannot connect to server?

I've tried setting my iPad exchange email with the same settings from my iPhone. However, iPad keeps saying it cannot verify account. Any suggestions on what I may be doing wrong. There is a small chance I may have the wrong password but I don't think that's the case.

Update....following a Power cycle the iPad SW was able to be updated and iTunes recognised it!!
Note iTunes SW version is 11.1.4 (62) 64 Bit.
All cables are OEM.

Why does my iPad lose the network I'm on when it goes to sleep?

I Just moved in with someone and I have to manually join the network every time I turn my iPad on. Now all of a sudden, every time my iPad goes to sleep it loses the connection all together. I've already tried resetting the network and also location in the settings. Any other ideas?

Cannot access itunes in appleTV or iPhone or iPad via home network

iPhone and iPad access to iTunes is possible from 3G network no problem but not via network. AppleTV problem more critical though

even on Windows it asks me to sign in 10 times, I've really had enough.

IPad loses advanced mail settings

I have set up e mail on my iPad from my own domain Rogersfamily.uk.net. The advanced main settings that define that the POP server uses password authentication keeps getting lost. I re-enter it again and it stays for a while then gets lost again.
Any ideas what the problem may be?
