IPad mini not connecting to safari

We just got back from a trip with our iPad mini, and now we cannot open apps (except game apps) at home - the message says "initialization error - unable to download data." In safari web pages time out and say "server stopped responding." We have wifi and we have done a reset - any other ideas on what we can do?

I have the same problem. We have 2 mini iPads about 1 month old and both have stopped working but only safari. Email works fine as does everything else. Have tried turning iCloud synch off for Safari and resetting. Still says server not responding but works fine with wi-fi???

IPad mini not connecting to the shared wifi from my MBP!

hi all
I am currently on a business trip, and set my 13" MBP to share the hard-wired internet connection in my hotel room. Yesterday this worked perfectly to provide a hotspot for my iPad mini to connect to.
However, today, my iPad mini sees the network, but refuses to make a connection (just a spinning wheel), even when right next to my MBP!!
I have restarted the iPad, I have renewed the lease (and then switched the wifi off and then on again), I have "forgotten" my local shared network and logged in again with the correct password, but nothing is working! I have switched my MBP's wifi off and on, and did not change any setting anywhere? How can this be for a brand new, three-week old iPad?
Any suggestions please? thanks, in advance

Open the Settings application on your iPhone, go to “General”
- To correct the error, you need to reset the time and date of the machine: On select “Date and Time”.
- Turn off “Set Automatically”, then switch it on again”.
i dont know the relation with this error but it worked for me!

IPad mini not connecting to my macbook pro

I have been trying to connect my Macbook Pro Retina (2.8 GHz Intel Core i7; OS X 10.9.2) to my iPad mini w/ Retina (iOS7) using bluetooth. Both devices are on and discoverable. I can see the iPad on the Macbook Pro and vice-versa, however when they are paired it initially says "connected" and then goes to "not connected." When I attempt to connect using the "Send File" dialogue, it says " This device does not have the necessary services." I am trying to transfer video files from my Macbook Pro Retina to my iPad mini w/Retina. Also, do I need to transfer video files using iTunes? I'm not sure how I will access the video files after transferring via bluetooth. Thanks in advance for some help with this, I've been trying to do this for a while now (pretty frustrated).

Right now the best thing to do is be patient. The last six days many people have been reporting problems with FaceTime. The source of the problems remains unknown.

IPad 2 not connected to Safari

Just received iPad2 as a gift on October 10, 2011. I have been using it successfully until this past weekend of October 22nd. I now get numerous messages that Safari can't connect to the internet even though the WiFi symbol indicates connected with full bars. Any suggestions?

This may be on the carrier-side of the problem. Contact your 3G provider to see if they have a solution to this situation.

Sorry to hear you are having issues, but there are 2 ways you can print from that device.
The first one is to simply email photos or documents to your printers email address by attaching them to a new message.
The other option is to download the HP ePrint Home and Biz app from Google Play. The app is free and should allow you to print pictures and documents to the printer with ease. I have added a link below on how to get started with this app.

Safari cannot open page because ipad is not connected to the internet

Hi, I updated too iOS7 recently and everything was fine (except iBooks!) until yesterday, when I got the message saying "Safari could not open the page ... because your iPad is not connected to the internet." I'm using wireless connection, and my iMac is working with no problem. Have tried most suggested things here like rebooting, resetting all settings etc. but am getting nowhere. Would appreciate any assistance, Thank you.

reset network settings...settings>gen>reset>reset network..
if that does not work.
backup the device on itunes.
restore with itunes.
setup as new on the device. then try it.
if it works try restoring from the backup,, if it does not work after that then the backup as a bug.
you then would set the device up as new again and just use it without the back up

IPad mini will connect to wifi WAN, but not wifi LAN?

Connecting to Sierra Hotspot, mini will only stay connected with Internet access turned on: won't connect to wifi LAN without internet access? iPad and even iPhone and MacBookAir have no problem... The mini redirects me to turn-on the Internet network when trying to connect to the wifi, and this isn't always necessary or available, and it won't allow me to do anything else until the "Internet connection issue is resolved".
I've tried all of the usual things: reseting the iPad mini, various connection techniques, even an AirPort Express bridge...

This was resolved by entering network setting manually.

Why does the iPad Mini not have music play count?

I bought an iPad Mini and also have a macbook. I had listened to various music on my iPad Mini the other day, however when I connected the iPad Mini to the Macbook and iTunes via the lightning connector to sync, it synced the ratings I gave the songs I listened to on the mini, but no play count, as if I had not listened to anything. I hope there is something I can do about this as I often look at my play count!!

It should work work but these kind of bugs pop up between updates, both hardware and software. Try closing all apps in the recently used list on the iPad. Double tap the Home button, tap and hold one of the icons at the bottom till they wiggle then tap the to close them. Tap the Home button to get back to the Home screen then hold the sleep button till you see the slide to power off message. Once it has powered down completely hold the Sleep button till the Apple icon appears.

Re: Why does the iPad Mini not have music play count?
Nov 18, 2012 11:34 AM (in response to Katrina UK)
Does it even really matter...?
Many people including myself rely on playcounts to control smart playlist to manage large libraries. Smart playlists can be created to show your most or least played tracks and used more or less as your favorites or other uses. Along with playcounts the date is transferred so to keep a fresh list of music on my smaller iPods a smart playlist set to songs not played in the last month keeps some fresh tunes on it.
Playcounts are also used to manage Podcasts in iTunes to delete older episode. Bookmarks, which can also be effected by this, can mess up audiobooks, movies and podcast playback between different devices. So yes, it does matter.

IPAD MINI cannot connect to my home wifi being run on a win 8 desktop. It used to connect earlier.

My new IPad Mini was functioning on my home WiFi till a fortnight ago, when I had to go out of station. On return, I find that the IPad is not connecting.
My WiFi is through Win8 desktop. I have given Firewall exceptions to ITunes. The Pad keeps on searching and does not connect. Someone please help.

My apple extreme wireless network is working fine with the macs but ios devices (iPhone & iPad) will not connect. I can see the network though. Everything was working until the ISP went down. Any suggestions?

My apple extreme wireless network is working fine with two Macs but ios devices (iPhone & iPad) will not connect. I can see the network and it's telling me I'm connected but Safari says I'm not connected to the internet. Everything was working until the ISP went down. Any suggestions?

Thank you, I've tried the support tips (resetting the network, checking security settings, etc.) and rebooting the network devices several times to no avail. I've actually been working on this for several days (when I can afford to have the network down).
What I have to determine is what has changed in the setup...from when it WAS working just fine with all devices.
