Ipad Mini suddenly processes wifi very slowly

I upgraded to iOS 8.2 Thursday, and just last night (Sunday), the wifi on my ipad started running very slowly. Speed tested other devices connected to the same wireless network, and they are doing just fine. Tried resetting network settings, toggling off "wifi networking" under privacy>location and also resetting DNS.
Any ideas?

For what it's worth, switching my router's settings from mixed g, b, and n to mixed g and n seems to have solved the problem.

My new IPad mini has poor wifi reception. It goes in and out. My IPod, Iphone4, Ipad1 and Ipad2 work fine. What can I do? Does anyone else have this problem?

The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

Portege A100 suddenly started going very slowly

Hi,
I have a Portege A100 which has suddenly started going very slowly. It takes a good 5 minutes to load completely up when it used to be far faster. I have tried reloading Windows onto it several times but as soon as you start loading other pieces of software onto it the speed deteriorates significantly.
I have also tried using software to completely wipe the hard drive before putting Windows back on but this doesn't seem to solve the problem either.
Any help would be very much appreciated.

Hello David
I have had similar behavior on my old Satellite 1900. At the end I have checked HDD and there are many bad sectors. At the beginning everything was OK but after installation of few different applications Satellite was slower and slower.
At the end I have exchanged HDD and everything was OK again. I recommend you to check HDD to see if there are some bad sectors. If yes buy new HDD. Sector repair will not help much.

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.

Will ipad Mini 16 GB Wifi+Cellular (AT&T) from US work in India?

Hi,
I am planning to buy a refurbished Ipad mini (16 GB Wifi+Cellular (AT&T)) from US for a friend in India. My question is will this Ipad work in India on any sim card (cellular network) there. Am i required to inform AT&T also about moving away from their service to other service provider.
Thanks,
Sumit Kaushik.

Yes it will work anywhere, assuming the mobile provider network is compatible. No you don't have to inform AT&T but if you sign up for monthly service with AT&T, it is best to terminate the subscription before taking the device out of the country.

New iPad Mini with Retina - Wifi+Cellular causing problems.

Bought an iPad Mini with Retina - Wifi+Cellular last month.
It is lagging now. Animation during opening of minimized apps, scrolling and games are lagging. Took it to the service center, they said its an OS issue. I am using iOS 7.0.4. Please advice me what to do and will there be any updates soon from Apple for iOS 7? Will the problems be solved after update?

Do yourself a favor and search the forums on this topic. Many people ask this daily and always get the same answer. Probably, but...
Check that the LTE frequencies match your operator.
Understand and accept the fact that if anything goes wrong, the warranty is good only in the US. Apple will not fix it for you in India (or anywhere else for that matter). You will need to physically get it back to the US as Apple does not accept shipped iDevices.
You will also see that many people run into these issues and then are angry that their iDevices don't work or won't be repaired by Apple. If you're ok with accepting the risks, then it will likely be ok.

I have bought an additional iPad (mini) for my wife, but how do i set up her email address only without mine appearing on her iPad?

I have bought an additional iPad (mini) for my wife, but how do i set up her email address on her iPad only without my email accounts also appearing on her iPad?

It sounds like restored one of your own backup when you activated her iPad. If you just activated the device and you want to share an Apple ID for purchases, you should, either erase the device and start all over again and NOT restore your backup - or simply delete your email accounts and set up hers in the settings.
To erase the device and start all over again, go to Settings>General>Reset>Erase all content and settings. If you enabled Find My iPad, you will need to enter your Apple ID and password to erase the device.
You can delete your email accounts, in Settings>Mail, contacts, calendars>Account Name>Delete Account.

My ipad mini suddenly won't connect to wifi

My iPad mini is 2 years old. Today it won't connect to the wifi at all. I've tried shutting it off and turning it back on. Then I go to wifi settings, and it shows my network and asks for password. I know I'm entering the password correctly, but it says *incorrect password*. I've tried resetting the ipad, I've tried resetting the network, I've tried closing out all apps, turning the ipad off and on, etc. My laptop is connected and my smart phone is connected, so that's not the issue. I don't know why the ipad is telling me the password is incorrect! What can I do? Any help would be appreciated!
PS - I have a brand new iPad mini here for my son for Christmas. I'd rather not have to give it to him today but I'm about ready to!

As of yesterday I have the same issue with an iPad Mini bought in November 2012. I have tried resetting the network settings - no good. I have done an entire factory reset - no good. I have restored from previous backups - no good. I have reset to factory and set up as a new iPad - temporarily OK, then added some apps back - no wifi again.
Today I have been to an Apple Store who could connect the iPad to their wifi OK, came home, connected OK for a few minutes and then back to no wifi again.
It is not the router that is the problem, in the house are iPhone 6 plus, iPhone 6, iPhone 5S, iPad Air, Macbook Air, Apple TVs, and other bits of kit that are all successfully connecting. All iOS devices are on 8.1.2.
This problem has effectively bricked my iPad mini... very not happy!!!

Ipad mini retina dispaly wifi issues 8.0.2

Hello,
Ipad Mini Retina Display version ios 8.0.2
Model ME814C/A
Scenario:
Before the upgrade to 8.0.2 WIFI the IPAD connected immediately when I arrived home and browsing the Internet was fast (did not do a speed test before the upgrade).
After the upgrade to 8.0.2 WIFI shows as being connected in the General Tab but I am unable to browse the internet. Messages come in to Facebook Messenger but I am unable to respond to them because it shows as connecting.
What I've done to Troubleshoot the issue:
I have to go to General, WIFI, Turn Off WIFI and turn it back on then it connects. I leave the ipad idle for say 1 min and again it disconnects from the WIFI.
I went to General clicked on reset and clicked on Reset Network settings and the result is the same.
I went to General and clicked erase all contents and settings and I still get the same result.
I switched DNS to 8.8.8.8 and still the same result.
Apple support are you working to address these lingering wifi issues?
Much appreciated
Tacobell2000

I have two different ISPs. My connection to U-verse is very slow, but my iPad mini connects rIght away and stays connected. My TWC connection is much faster yet the iPad connection lasts for a very short time, unless I am sitting directly in front of the router with the iPad almost touching it. It always shows that the iPad is connected though. Otherwise I am constantly rebooting the iPad, removing and re entering the router info, turning wifi on and off, etc. before the 8.0 update, my mini worked perfectly.

Can't connect my ipad mini with comcast wifi?

My wifi with Comcast keeps disconnecting from my Ipad Mini and I can't get it back on.

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

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.
