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

i had the same problem few days ago
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!

TS1368 iPad mini not connecting to the iTunes/App stores

I am setting up my parents iPad mini to the iTunes and App Stores for the first time. But it keeps telling me it cannot connect to the store at this time, please try again later. I don't understand why it isn't working, my iPad is connected just fine.

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

My first generation iPad is not connecting to the internet! any helpful tips?

my first generation iPad is not connecting to the internet! any helpful tips?

Have you done a reboot by holding both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears, ignore the red slider if that appears.
If that does not help, go to Settings and turn WiFi off. Make sure you are not in AirPlane Mode and turn WiFi back on and see if it shows the wireless networks that are available.

My iPad will NOT connect to the internet.

My iPad will NOT connect to the internet..
After learning I was signed out of my iMessage AND my Facetime, I tried to sign in through settings.. After several failed attempts, I reset my network settings. When the iPad turned back on, I tried to connect to my internet and it repeatedly told me my password was wrong. After many attempts at trying the password, and making sure I typed everything correctly, it would NOT connect. I have followed at least fifty websites' directions on how to fix this problem but it will NOT work.... Help?

The correct password is printed on your router's label.
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.

My ipad will not connect to the internet unless the security is disabled.

My ipad will not connect to the internet unless the security is disabled. this was the diagnosis of the belkin router support tech, who spent 1 1/2 hours on the phone with me. my service provider is new -- one link. (Apple does not provide tech support to puerto rico after the 90 day free service expires.)

Read this for suggestions: iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
Especially note the section on using WEP security keys. In fact, if you are using WEP for security, change to WPA2. WEP has been deprecated by the WiFi Alliance since 2004 as insecure. It can be cracked in seconds with widely available S/W.

Ipad can not connect to the pc flashes on the inscription of trust ...

You can try resetting your iPad by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears.
Try again to see if the problem persists.

I do not recieve texts from iMessage friends when I am not connected to the internet(wifi nor 3G). Am I supposed to, if so is there a setting on my part to fix this? Even the techs at my provider can not give me a definative answer.

iMessage uses data not your messaging plan. You need to have either Wi-Fi or cellular data turned on to use iMessage

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

My iPad will not connect to the update section under the app store?

My iPad will not connect to the update section under the app store I've tried everything what do I do?

Can you download new apps? If you can, go to the App Store featured tab and do a search for one of the apps that tells you it needs an update. When the app appears in the search, tap on the app icon and the description window for the app will pop up. Try updating the app from there and see if that works.
Have you tried rebooting your router? Unplug it from power for about 30 seconds and then plug it in again?
Look at this article and see the section about the DNS settings on the iPad.
