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.

Mac mini will connect to AirPort Extreme, but not internet

I just picked up an AirPort Extreme and hooked it up. My Mac mini connects to the base station with no problem, but will not connect to the Internet. Wen using the airport utility it is an amber light next to Internet.
I am able to get my iPhone and iPad to connect correctly. They both show that they are connected to the base station and the Internet. No sure what I need to do on my Mac to get it working properly.
I'm running 10.8.2 on my Mac. APX is 5th gen.

have you configured your Airport extreme to provide addresses via DHCP?
If your WiFi settings are:
IPv4 Address: 10.0.1.4
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Router: 10.0.1.1
DNS Server: 10.0.1.1
and WiFi is working with no problems
then having the same settings, just different IP address' last digit should work for Ethernet...
Have you connected the Ethernet cable to the computer as well as the Airport Extreme ?
Alternatively, you may change DNS server address to 8.8.8.8

What is the cheapest way to get wifi in a home for Ipad mini - if we already have internet (but no wifi setup)

Trying to get my sister set up with wifi. She is getting an ipad mini for Christmas and has internet, but no wifi. Is there any restriction on the Airport version that this ipad mini will/won't work with?
I have found many 'used' Airport Express units on Amazon, but just need to make sure that these older models will work with this new ipad mini for her.

I don't use Facetime, but if it is available on the Internet, she will be able to access it by entering the Web address for the site in the browser of the iPad.
I just need something inexpensive since we are having to 'add that' for her.
Since you are familiar with Apple products, the Express would make sense.
The setup of the Express will very easy from the iPad. Look for the info in this link about Easy Setup:

You can download a manual for the Express Model A1264 by using the link below:

IPAD WILL CONNECT TO OPEN NETWORK BUT NOT HOME NETWORKS

My ipad 2 has stopped connecting to my home network ( Plusnet ) will also not connect to Virgin or Sky home networks but will connect to Asda Walmart
open network. I have tried reset network,forget network, airplane mode on and off and reset device but nothing seems to work. I have version 8.1.2 and the model number is MC706B/A and would be grateful for any advice.

When you keyed in your password for your router when you were prompted to enter a password on iPad, what did you enter? If your router is recognized on your computer as say, Harry's Internet, that's not the password iPad is seeking. What iPad is looking for is the encryption key from your router. And that encryption key is often a 13 digit code comprised of numbers and letters.

My Mac Mini will read some commercial DVDs but not others.

I have a Mac Mini running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 on a 2.53 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor. I've had it for a couple of years now and just recently decided to run one of the video ports out to a wall mounted LCD TV for viewing both internet tv and DVDs. However, turns out my DVD player (SuperDrive, and rarely ever used ... maybe 10x since I bought the thing) won't read certain DVDs. For instance, it will mount and play Charlie Brown's Christmas, but not Pirates of the Caribbean. It appears to be a 'new dvd' vs 'old dvd' issue. Is that a real issue? Is there software I can install that would cause the drive to mount and play my newer DVDs? I'd appreciate any advice here. Thanks.

I have a new mac mini w/o superdrive but I can play all dvd's on the superdives in my MBP and my iMac. The MBP is new but the iMac is 2007 vintage. You may want to try cleaning the lens in the drive. Radio shack and others sell cleaning disks.

Wifi will connect to other routers but not the one at my house

This macbook has had no trouble connecting to this particular router since we got it in august, but all of a sudden 3 days ago it stopped connection, just says connection timed out. It connects to any other router, bt hotspots, mobile tethering, just not our router at home. I'm currently connected to the troublesome router via ethernet cable with no issues. My other computer, tablet, and our phones are all connected to the router wirelessly with no issues as well.
I've tried messing with the DNS settings, forgetting the router and readding, updating software etc but no luck so far, any ideas?
I'm on OSX mavericks 10.9.5, macbook pro is from 2010, 2.4ghz core 2 duo, 4gb ram,

I realice the same kind of problems after update to 10.10.2 version. My Mac unable to connect but no problems with iPhone and iPad.
After trying some setup changes suggested by the support team through the chat the solution was:
1-Change the channel the router is using if not within the 9 - 15 range (formerly my one used the channel 1 and I changed to 11). It can be checked at Apple>About this Mac>System Report within the Network>WiFi paragraph under the network ID.
2-Change the DNS servers to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 (System preferences>Netwok>WiFi>Advanced>DNS).
3-Turn off the Bluetooth connectivity.
In my case it means I can't use my bluetooth magic mouse when need the WiFi connection running, but .......

IPad 2 connects to personal hotspot but not wifi

I dropped my ipad2, but all seems to be working fine except for my wifi. What doesn't seem to make sense is that my wifi will see and connect to my iphone 5S personal hotspot but doesn't see my wifi router. It is also picking up other wifi signals from my smart tv. If there is a wifi hardware issue, shouldn't that impact the ability to connect to hotspot?

Hello Bella9678
Start with going into Settings > General > Reset and Reset Network Settings, then try to connect to your Wi-Fi network. Check out the article below for more troubleshooting options to get your Wi-Fi working again.

My Ipad Mini will no longer connect to wi-fi

My iPad mini will suddenly no longer connect to any wi-fi network. At home all our other iPads and iPhones still work. But this problem one won't recognise the password on my home or any other wi-fi network. I can't even backup the device into iTunes (connecting by cable into a laptop) as I get an error mesaage.
I've tried rebooting the router, powering off the iPad, resetting factory settings etc. I've read on other forums that this is a known problem with iPad minis. Is this correct? Is there a fix or do I need to get it replaced?

If the above doesn't work, try reset all settings
Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings
Note: Data will not be affected but settings for Wi-Fi, FaceTime, Message, Home Sharing, Wall Paper, Sound etc will be reset

Hello there ypda75,
I have an article here that has a list of settings to get from your Email provider so you can make sure that the settings are correct. It has troubleshooting steps to try as well. Also I would recommend restarting the router, and/or testing a differnet network.
iOS: Unable to send or receive email
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3899.
If you are unable to send or receive email, try the following steps:
Restart the iOS device.
Tap Safari and attempt to load a webpage to ensure that the device has Internet access. If you're unable to load a webpage, try the Wi-Fi assistant.
Try an alternative Internet connection.
If your email is provided by your Internet provider, try connecting from the home network.
If your iOS device has an active cellular data plan, try to disable Wi-Fi: Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and turn off Wi-Fi.
If not, try a different Wi-Fi network.
Log in to your email provider's website to ensure that the account is active and the password is correct.
Delete the account from Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars and then add the email account again on the iOS device.
If you're still unable to send or receive email, contact your email provider and verify the account settings are correct. You will need to gather this information (PDF).
All the very best,

I Have the same issue on a brand new iPad mini 2. My battery is only lasting up to 5 hours. I went on chat with Apple last night and they said my battery is fine and its a Safari issue. I'm literally losing 1% every 3-4 minutes. I tried recalibrating my battery, signing out of iCloud, shutting off all locations, turning off background app refresh, restoring network settings, restoring all, and finally restoring from iTunes with no luck. This is just awful. I got this iPad so I could use it on my long flight for a trip I have coming up, and unfortunately, it's not going to last that long, plus I'm concerned about how many times i will be recharging my battery because of this since battery's do have a life cycle dependent on the number of charges. This is frustrating and needs to be fixed ASAP and addressed by Apple.
By the way, Apple told me to bring my device to the Apple Store because it's still under warranty. That's great and all, but I'm going to waste my time if there is no fix for this issue.
Ok so you want Apple to address the problem, but yet you don't want to take it to them just in case they can't fix it? What if they can fix it? Complaining here certainly won't fix it.

I cannot find the AirPlay icon for the life of me. I have iOS 7.0.2 on my iPad Mini. Connected to my WiFi network just fine. I swipe up to get to the control center badges and all I see is the AirDrop icon. Trying to disable mirroring on ipad for Netflix streaming and don't know what to do. Any luck out there?

If you last used an Apple TV to mirror your device and have updated to the newest Apple TV software, go into settings and turn airplay back on. The icon should then appear on your iPad mini when you swipe up allowing you to disable it for Netflix. After updating my Apple TV software for some reason it turned airplay off.
