Suddenly iPad mini doesn't recognize my wifi

IPad suddenly doesn't recognize wifi

Try to reboot your ipad? Hold down the sleep and home keys for about 20 seconds. When you see the silver apple, let go and let it reboot and try again
You can also try to power cycle your router. Unplug the power to the router, count to ten, plug it back in and let it reboot and try again.

Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
Settings > FaceTime. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
Sign in to your Apple ID with FaceTime and iMessage.

I'd maybe try doing a search for Safari on your iPad first (swipe to the left to search). If it shows up in that search you can go to Settings > General > Reset and choose 'reset home screen layout' which will put it back where it would be by default.
All else fails? Restore it.

My iPad mini no longer recognizes any wifi networks.

My iPad mini no longer recognizes any wifi networks (at home, at friends houses, Starbucks, etc.) It's not that I can't connect to networks, the iPad won't even give me the option to connect to any networks anywhere I go. Nothing appears. Under Wi-Fi it's completely blank. So let me just get this out of the way.... I've researched every possible thing I could do and nothing has worked. So don't tell me to make sure my airplane mode isn't on, wifi is turned on or I'm in range, reset my network settings, reset my router, go to Starbucks, update iTunes etc. etc. because I've done all of that and more. We have 3 other iPads in the house who all connect to our home wifi just fine, so it's not that. I literally cannot find any solution to this problem and I find it ridiculous. Please help!

So having done everything you have, it sounds like a potential hardware issue. You didn't mention a "restore" of the device, but I imagine you did that as well. I would plan a trip to the Genius Bar.
By the way the work you have done is admirable. You did a thorough troubleshooting process.

My Mac Mini doesn't recognize my Avengers DVD--it keeps saying "Supported disc not available." I've tried other DVD's which work, but not this one. itunes and everything else has been updated to the newest versions. Help?

I have ALL the exact same symptoms as on my home computer.
It sure sounds to me like something on the iPod is broken. If it's under warranty then I would send it back for repair. If not, check out some of the web repair services, such as iPodResQ etc.

My iPad mini doesn't charge sometimes, and if it charges it only can charge to 92% then stops.

At most time, my iPad mini doesn't charge at all. I have searched the problem on Internet, somebody says it is about the temperature, but the weather of the place I live ain't that cold. Once it can charge, it can only charge to 92% everytime. Someone to help me solve it? iOS 6.0.1!

Thanks, I'm use to apple products displaying a electric plug ensuring that it switched to ac mode.

Mini doesn't recognize airport

My mini doesn't recognize the airport card. I have restarted my rounter, modem and my mac but no luck. All software on my Mini is up to date and other computers are connected to the network. The network tab in System Preferences doesn't give me an option to connect to airport.

In this thread, your first post suggests you are running MacOS 10.4.8, but the second that you have 10.4.10. If you are running the latter, did the Airport work before and since stop? Perhaps around the time of the update?
Do you see any sign of Airport, such as the empty fan in the menu bar?
In the network preferences (and I apologize, I don't presently have a Mac running Tiger to test this on), when you click to add an interface and select Airport, does it then show the hardware to be present?
Some time ago I was tracking a series of posts on www.macfixit.com which related to Airport issues in 10.4.10. It was suggested that if the Airport card was not recognized, to try an SMC reset (Intel Systems) or PMU Reset (PPC minis) Other issues could occasionally be resolved by removal of AppleAirport.kext, AppleAirport2.kext and AppleAiport3.kext files from the >System>Library>Extensions folder, but you would need a source of rreplacements, either from your existing MacOS install disk or the latest Airport Updater downloaded from Apple. In either case you'd need a utility called Pacifist to extract just those files. Sadly I don't have a Tiger system on hand to test that out at present.
One troubleshooting step you might try is to create a new user account on the system and see if that account can 'see' the Airport card, thus indicating an issue at the user rather than systemwide level.
It is a good sign however that the Airport hardware is seen by the profiler. Basically that means it's failure in the system is software.

My ipad mini refuses to join home wifi connection. It is trying to do so continuously but with no success. I tried to reset all settings. Switched wifi off and then back on. Nothing works. The rest of devices are fine with the wifi. What shall I do next?

Maybe reboot your router. Unplug it for about 30 seconds or so and then plug it back in. Reboot your iPad while the router is powering up.
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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

Just bought an ipad mini. It recognizes my internet connection but doesn't connect. It shows a lock. How do I get to where I enter the password for my connection?

On your router/modem, there will be a Wi-Fi password. If you enter that into your iPad for your connection, then your iPad will have permission to connect to that access point and then you will be able to use your internet.

IPad mini doesn't turn on

My iPad mini stopped working and it doesn't turn on anymore.... i did try to reset it and couple other thinks but nothing is working.. What can i do? Please help!

Did you try the reset in the following way?
Device Reset (won't affect settings/data/music/apps/etc)
1. Press and hold (& continue to hold) BOTH the Sleep/Wake button & the Home button.
2. Continue to hold BOTH (ignoring any other messages that may show) until you see the Apple logo on the screen.
3. Release BOTH buttons when you see the Apple logo and allow the device to boot normally.
Is the battery charged? Plug it into the charger and cable that came with the device and allow it to charge for an hour or so, then try to power it back on or perform the reset as indicated above.

IPad mini doesn't detect wifi/unable to connect

Hello,
I've had my iPad mini since March 2014. It's been working perfectly until last Friday, when it suddenly stopped connecting to my home wifi network. Upon closer inspection, I found that the iPad doesn't even detect the home network anymore. I tried all the solutions listed on here: resetting network settings, rebooting, resetting all settings - except a total restore.
At times it started detecting the network but then when I try to connect it says "unable to connect". I tried making a hotspot out of my iPhone 3G and connecting to it with my iPad - also the same thing, unable to connect. I couldn't try any other networks yet.
What should I do next? Could this be a hardware issue? PS: I've never dropped or damaged the iPad in any way, and it was just lying on the day when wifi stopped working.
Thank you.

New Mac Mini doesn't recognize airport card

I have a new mac mini, leopard, 1.8G c2duo, and have finally resolved some display issues. Now it doesn't recognize my airport card. Ideas?

If the airport card doesn't appear in the System Profiler (select 'About this Mac' in the Apple menu, then click the 'more info' button, then click 'Airport Card' down the left hand side) then the mini likely has a hardware problem and would be in need of repair/replacement. On the other hand, if the Airport Card shows up there, the system clearly can see the card, but it then means there is likely a problem with MacOS or a setting - in which case if you could describe the symptom (ie, where it is you are not seeing the card) then it may be possible to resolve.

Mac mini doesn't recognize the second monitor

I have Mac mini mid 2011 with dual display setup - one HDMI, the Second one thunderbolt to DVI adapter.
Majority of times it doesn't recognize the second monitor connected through thunderbolt. Sometimes it start suddenly after a while, I've read there are some issues with the 10.10.2 Yosemite...
Any suggestions how to sort it out please? Many thanks, this is really a pain in the *** for me, strugling for a half an hour with a monitor...

Thanks lllaass I tried it but doesn't work. I tried with different cables, still doesn't work.
The strange thing is that sometimes it suddenly starts and works smoothly... Really strange problem. I will try a new adapter Thunderbolt to HDMI....
What is the worst, when both monitors work smoothly and I put the computer to sleep or i shut it down, when started all over the monitor is not recognized.
Ehhh :-(

Ipad mini wireless connection crashes home network

New ipad mini connects to home wireless network, but other computers on the network lose connection to include the ipad mini. Happens quite frequently. Any ideas on why this is happening? And how to fix?

HI, thanks for your response.
No I do not have the Mac enabled in my router. Just at the point were I can add one new wireless connection there does not appear anything. Unfortunately I this is my only wireless connection so no caomparison with an other working system is possible.
