Ipad mini freezes, loses wifi connectivity and loses touch response since IOS8. Reset has cured NOTHING.

IS it true all these issues will not be fixed till the 20th?? My ipad2 wont work at all! This is a disaster like nothing i have encountered before and it has cost me dearly in lost business.

Hi ..
Sorry you're having so many problems with Wi-Fi on your iPad.
"IS it true all these issues will not be fixed till the 20th??"
Not sure where you got that information but not everyone is having issues with Wi-Fi on iOS 8. Mine is working fine.
You mentioned a reset. Which one did you try that didn't work?
Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
You may have to re enter your Wi-Fi password.
If nothing above has helped, try here > iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections

My iMac keeps on losing internet connection. Webpages get stuck after a minute or so. If I check the internet connection via diagnostics it seems to work just fine. Others, like the iPad use the same wifi connection and never fail. What can I do?

Running 10.6.8 on Intel dual core iMac, it keeps on losing internet connection. Webpages get stuck after a minute or so. If I check the internet connection via diagnostics it seems to work just fine. Others, like the iPad use the same wifi connection and never fail. What can I do?

Greetings,
I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
Good Luck - Cheers,
M.

IPad Mini 3 drops WiFi connection to hotspot under load

I have a weird problem that appears to be device-specific. Ingredients:
iPad Mini 3 (WiFi)
iOS 8.2
FreedomPop Sierra Wireless Hotspot
I have no issues with network connectivity with my Mini 3 on high speed networks at home or work. In particular, I can run the Ookla Speedtest app just fine. I can download/update apps fine. However, if I connect to the Hotspot (which has much lower bandwidth), I have problems under heavy network load, such as those. The Mini 3 will drop the connection, thus messing up what I was trying to do, then connect again. If I do the same experiment with my wife's Mini 3 (mine is 64GB, hers is 32GB), all conditions the same (OS, Hotspot, apps), her Mini 3 does not drop the connection, and everything works fine.
I have done the obvious things, but the connection still gets dropped intermittantly:
force-exit all apps
restart the Mini 3
update to iOS 8.2 (the problem was present in earlier iOS 8 versions, too)
I have concluded that my Mini 3 must have a hardware problem with the WiFi. Are there other possiblities? What are the odds Apple will fix the problem (which probably requires a new Mini 3) if I'm right?

Thanks for responding.
I don't suspect the Sierra. It worked fine with my wife's Mini 3, my laptop, my iPod, my older iPad. During my testing I used only one device at a time. The problem with my Mini 3 persists after resetting the Mini 3. I have not tried backup/restore.
My Mini 3 works fine through my home router, at least to the extent that the WiFi connection does not drop.
I agree that there's probably no widespread problem with Mini 3 WiFi. However, given the set of things that work and don't work, particularly that my wife's Mini 3 has no problem but mine does, the only remaining variable (IMO) is the WiFi support in my Mini 3. And given that my wife's identical (other than memory size) Mini 3 has no problem, it could only be the WiFi hardware in my specific Mini 3.
It remains a mystery to me what it is about the interaction between my Mini 3 and the hotspot that causes the WiFi connection to drop.

IPad mini keeps losing wifi connection

Since yesterday my iPad mini keeps losing the wifi connection, especially when playing video on YouTube. Stopping the You Tube app and starting Safari seems to restart it temporarily but only for a short while. I've tried reinstalling the YouTube app, but it then happened playing You Tube via Safari. I've reset my router and deleted all cookies, browsing history and rebooted the iPad. Even done a complete new install of the iPad after the iOS update failed (grrrr) and deleted everything but this issue was happening before the update and after the rebuild.
Any Ideas or help gratefully accepted.
Thanks
Bob

IPad Air, freezing & losing wifi connection

Have had the iPad Air (128GB) since December 2013. Up until the recent security update (7.0.6) has worked as needed.
In the past few weeks performance has been terrible beginning with hard resets that were not initiated by me resulting in a loss of all emails (thankfully I do not rely on the iPad as my main source of sending and receiving). What is lost to me was all emails sent from the iPad. This has not reoccurred.
What has been a constant is constant freezing of the sceen. Unable to swipe or initiate anything for upwards of minutes. Hitting the home button does nothing until it un-freezes. Additionally, wifi signals are being lost all to frequently where the iPad is not able to even see the network that other Apple products are on.
I first blamed the network (restarted it multiple times) yet every other apple product had no issues (Apple TV to iMac's to other older iPads, etc.), then the internet source (nope).
It seems every 30 minutes my iPad is claiming there is no network or is freezing.
For the most part this is a light use item with 100GB's of free space as I write. I use it mostly for reading and airplay and my last resort is to restore it as it is an issue.
Any others with similar issues or even a solution.
Thanks in advance.

Ipad 3 keeps dropping wifi connection and won't connect to itunes store at all

I get intermittent wifi network connection. Connection keeps dropping. When I try to log onto itunes store, connection immediately drops every time. Rest of my computers have no problem, just the ipad 3

Look at iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
Additional things to try.
Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.

How to restore an iPad mini with a frozen screen and no touch activity?

The iPad has already be restarted by using the power and central button but after restarting problem remains....

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

My wife received a new iPad Mini for Christmas-- when connected to iMac, icon appears in iPhoto sidebar; however, there appears to be no option to "unmount." Also, unlike my iPhone 4S whose icon appears in iTunes sidebar, the Mini does not. Any insights?

Ipad mini retina dislplay wifi and cellular.

i want to buy an ipad mini retina display wifi and cellular in malaysia. will it work with indian carriers?
can someone please respond soon?
thanks

As long as the indian carriers support the correct frequencies it should. Note, that warranty and service will not be valid outside of the country of purchase, so you would need to return to Malaysia to get it serviced.
Other than that most iPads are unlocked for use with sim cards from any compatible GSM carrier.
Note, that if the carrier you wish to use it on is CDMA, they will likely not activate a device that was not registered to them originally during manufacturing.
I suggest contacting the carrier you wish to use, to make sure they can give you a sim card with service for the iPad.

Downloaded 8.0.2, able to continue to connect to internet via wifi for approx. 2 hours, then, wham, no wifi connection, and when I attempt to join my wifi network, and enter my code, i am told that the code is incorrect. I rebooted my IPad 3, nogo!

I uploaded 8.0.2, able to continue to use my IPad 3, use internet, WiFi connectivity OK. Then, about 1 1/2 hours later, I loose internet connection, and WiFi connectivity. I rebooted the IPad and attempted to rejoin my WiFi network...no go, message says my password is wrong!! I then, pursuant to a suggestion in the message boards, entered "Forget Network" and then attempted to again join my WiFi. Again, message says "password is wrong" Password is correct; I am on the internet on my desktop via my WiFi network!! Is the 8.0.2 "update" defective and/or compromised?? My partner, who has an IPad Air, also updated to 8.0.2 this afternoon and has had the same problem!!!

Actually, we up-loaded the new OS in the early evening! We now have WiFi connectivity, and this is how it was achieved: turned off the power to our WiFi modem, then turned it back on; wifi booted up; in IPad's Settings, WiFi: toggled the Wi-Fi button off, waited a short while and toggled it back on; choose our network and entered our passcode...IPad finally accepted the passcode. However, at the top left-hand portion of the screen, we now have a "No Service" statement, yet we are wifi connected and have internet service on our various apps!

My Ipad 'Systems' shows my WiFi connection is working and all my Apps connect and interact ok but Safari says 'No Response from the Server' the same on my Mail. The WiFi works perfectly on everything else in the house. Any ideas ?

it was not just email it was all internet via safari but all apps including the bank account app. the laptop and pc access the same email servers which work perfectly so it is difficult to blame the servers.
by the way it has now started to work properly at lasst after a whole day of trying to resolve this year.
