IPad suddenly can't connect to Internet

Hey-
I’ve had my iPad for a few weeks now and love it. It’s been no problem.
This morning I woke it up to check emails and got a message to say I’m not connected to the Internet.
The same happened with Safari, and any other Internet based app.
I shut it down and restarted but that didn’t help. I plugged it into iTunes and saw there was an update available so I installed it in case it helped. But still nothing.
I have a full signal strength from my wireless router.
What might be causing the problem?
Thanks.

Hi -
OK - just tried that. It asked me for my router password, and again it connects to the router (I have four bars on my iPad wireless icon); but still when I open an app that requires the Internet it says “You must connect to the Internet to use this application.”
I know the router is working OK cos I’m connected to it on my desktop Mac in order to write this!
Any other thoughts?

  • IPad Air can not connect to internet after updating to iOS8.

    Safari CAN NOT OPEN ANY PAGES because the iPad is not connected to internet. I updated to iOS8 last night and have been trying to reset my ipad as well. However, the problem is still there. It even says my Apple ID incorrect. GUYS! DO NOT UPDATE YOUR iPAD TO iOS8 UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE!!!!!!!! Luckily, I did not do anything with my phone. PHEW

    Other threads I've read have had people note that the following solutions have worked for them:
    If you have a 5 GHz wi-fi router, turn off 5 GHz support and let it fall back to 2.4 GHz.
    Change wi-fi router to auto-select channels, or manually select a different channel than what it's on now.
    Disable iCloud Drive.
    I'm not saying that that any of these will work, but it's something to try (one at a time).

  • Suddenly can't connect to internet even though it's still connected to the network. Why?

    My ios 5.1.1 ipad 3 is less than 1 year old and has been connecting fine in my room. Then suddenly internet stopped working even though it's connected to the network. Tried restarting, forgetting, resetting. It worked for like 1 min randomly, then stopped working again. It only works if I move closer to router. Laptop and another Ipad both work fine. Just don't understand why my ipad stopped working suddenly when it was fine before.

    Yes I do want my problem fix. Thank you for helping.
    I was just wondering why it would be the router when my ipad connects if it's closer to the router and everything seems to be working fine too.

  • Mac suddenly can't connect to internet (but sees rest of network ok)

    for some very odd reason one of our macs now refuses to see the internet.
    all the macs are hooked up to a gigabit switch and then to our dsl line via a sisco firewall. the problem mac can see every other mac on the network and connect successfully to them but it will not access the internet. the network settings have not changed.
    any suggestions?

    hi jeff
    thanks for the swift response. we don't use proxy settings. i changed another mac to the problem macs ip address and it wouldn't connect until i changed it back. i'm thinking it must be the firewall blocking that ip address.

    Try turning WiFi off on the iPad, then reset it again, turn WiFi on again and join your network again if necessary. Or go to Settings>WiFi>Your network name>Forget this network. Reset your iPad and then join your network again. Or - settings>General>Reset>Reset network settings. Reset the iPad, then try to join your network again.

  • TS1398 have been connected to my wireless network using a netgear sky broadband router succesfully for a few weeks, suddenly can't connect, network is showing but no signal - all other wireless gadgets are connected just fine - including iphone - any idea

    my ipad 4 has been connected to my wireless network using a netgear sky broadband router succesfully for a few weeks, suddenly can't connect, network is showing but no signal - all other wireless gadgets are connected just fine - including iphone - any ideas?

    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

  • Just got new ipad2 and can't connect to internet...recognizes wifi network but won't connect

    just got a new ipad2...recognizes wifi network at home, but can't connect to internet...help???

    I just had a similar problem.  Both the ipad 1 and ipad 2 in my household quit connecting to the network even though it seemed to recognize it.  if you think it is recognizing your network, just not connecting, check to see if bluetooth is turned on.  i had to turn bluetooth off and then manually enter the DNS number. 
    My solution also came after I re-started my network and reset all the settings on the ipad2.  The DNS number then showed along with IP submet Mask and router.  I used that dns number to enter into ipad1 after turning bluetooth off on it.
    Totally unscientific fix that may have been more coincidental than correct but you might try it.  BTW--no idea how bluetooth even got turned on to begin with.

  • Suddenly can't connect to windows server

    I suddenly can't connect to the windows server. The username and password is correct, but it says "Connection Failed: Unknown user, incorrect password, or login is disabled. Please retype the name and password or contact the server's administrator." It pings the server as well. My internet and email works fine. The IT guys can't figure it out either, but they are not mac gurus. Connecting via smb comes back with "Could not connect to the server because the name or password is not correct" before I even enter login information, if that is helpful information. I also tried connecting through the server alias under the network and its the connetion failed as going through Connnect to Server and entering it as AFP://ipaddress.
    Can it be from the 10.4.11 update? It was fine before the update I believe - but I can't recall for sure. I'm a lone mac user in a very pc company, so any mac expert advice would be helpful.
    Is just strange since I have no problems connecting to our work email via GroupWise.

    Connecting via smb comes back with "Could not connect to the server because the name or password is not correct" before I even enter login information, if that is helpful information.
    Yes for any previous connection, Macs will send what's in Keychain Access, even if it's wrong, before you get asked... delete that reference in Keychain Access.

  • 5 out of 6 devices can't connect to Internet

    Just to preface,  this was all working hours ago.
    airport express,  Mac book pro, ipad, boxee box and Western digital live Nas all can't connect to internet.
    my Samsung Galaxy s3 has no problems however.
    normally if I can't get an ip address I would just say the Internet is down from the isp. But because I've got one device where it's working fine gives me cause to think otherwise.
    Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

    You want the device that is directly connected to the modem to furnish the PPPoE service.
    This is sounding like you had your Mac connected directly to your modem at one time, so in that type of setup, the PPPoE connection on the Mac would have been correct.
    But, since you have added the Time Capsule....and it is now the device that is directly connected to the modem.... the Time Capsule must be configured to provide the PPPoE connection service, not your Mac.
    Open AirPort Utility - Click Manual Setup
    Click the Internet icon
    Your settings should look like this:
    Connect Using = PPPoE   
    Account Name = Your user name with your ISP
    Password = Your password with the ISP
    Verify Password
    Service Name.....leave this area completely blank
    Connection = Always On
    Disconnect if Idle = Never
    Update to save settings and the TC will restart
    Either delete the PPPoE connection on your Mac, or if  you want to retain it in case you need to connect your Mac directly to the modem at some point in the future, make that connection inactive.
    If you are connecting an Ethernet cable from one of the LAN <-> ports on the TC to your Mac, you want the Ethernet connection to be active on your Mac. This should happen automatically if the PPPoE connection is inactive or has been deleted.
    Be sure to power cycle the entire network at this point. Power all devices down, or der is not important.
    Wait a moment or two, then start the modem and let it urn for a moment by itself
    Start the TC and wait for a green light
    Then start each device one at a time until the network is back up

  • Can't connect to internet sharing

    Ever since updating to Mountain Lion on my iMac, I can't connect to internet sharing with my iPad 3.    Does anyone know how to get it to work?  I just get the message 'Unable to join the network 'xxxx'.
    I've tried setting up new networks, I've tried it with and without passwords, restarted both machines, and it still won't work. 
    However, my iphone4 connects OK.  Anyone else having this issue with the iPad 3?
    Thanks
    Bob

    It's so simple to setup and you have been using it in the past, but just in case, this is Apple' kb article about Internet sharing with Mountain Lion.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH10740?viewlocale=en_US
    Have you rebooted your router or cable modem? Unplug it from power for about 30 seconds and plug it in again.
    You might be better off posting in the Mountain Lion forum if you haven't already done so.
