IPad won't recognize my WiFi. Tried resetting and it is stuck!???

New iPad2...worked fine when I bought it and before i returned home from business trip (where I bought it).  Now it says there is no network connection...but it is downloading emails???  When I try to open apps they just flash open and then shut and return to the home screen.  I followed the support help page directions which said to reset network settings....it froze the screen on the resetting page (Apple with progress bar...but no progress).  Now I'm resetting the entire iPad2 to its original settings.  Does anyone know what is going on?  Russ

Try a reset. Press & hold the Power and Home buttons together for 10+ seconds, ignoring the red power-off slider, until you see the Apple logo.

    If the issue remains it would be best for you to back up your phone then book an appointment at an Apple Retail Store to be evaluated.

    ipad screen will not slide. Tried resetting and a factory reset but still will not work.

    I have the same issue on my Ipad Air.  Screen will not rotate, I have reset the settings, still only displays in the portrait mode.  A couple of interesting things though.  a couple of days before it completely locked up into portrait I would have to turn the ipad off and hold it in the orientation I wanted because it would not change orientation after I was in an app.
    Also, I just played a Netflix video and it was in landscape mode.
    Any ideas?
      Thanks,

  • My iPad won't connect to wifi, tried everything!

    It worked fine for about a week, then I left the house and when I returned it just will not reconnect. I've tried everything including resetting the network settings numerous times, turning my actual modem on and off but nothing works, help? I've also checked, it's not just my wifi that's broken as my mum also has an iPhone and an iPad, it's just mine that won't work.
    Any suggestions?!

    Hi Moniica,
    Does your Wifi network show on your phone, but when you select it, it just doesn't connect?
    If that is the case, (I know this sounds lame but), stand very close to the router and then select it.
    I had the same issue, and when I went over and stood next to my router and selected it, it finally connected. Once it connected, it was fine (I am not permanently sitting next to my router in order to read my mail....)
    It's worth a shot! It worked for me....
    Cheers,

  • IPhone 5s restored from 4s all but my photos and won't finish.  Have tried reset and restore several times but always the same thing. Pat bottom of screen it shows downloading but no pictures transfer.

    Have tried 4 times to reset, erase and restore but always the same result.  Everything restores except my photos. When I go to photos at the bottom of the screen it says downloading but the pictures never transfer.  Every time I turn my phone on it asks to continue restore but it never finishes. It won't let me upgrade to the latest iOS due to incomplete restoration.

    How long has it been since you let the restore just happen? Sometimes photos are what takes the longest to bring back from an iCloud back up. I would recommend that you let it just keep restoring for about 2-3 days and see if more photos come back than what you're experiencing. Also make sure that you are connected to wifi as much as possible so that those photos can be downloaded faster. It is a waiting and being patient kind of thing. I did an iCloud restore from a backup that took 4 days to finish bringing down all my photos.

  • TS1398 iPad won't recognize wifi password after 7.0.2 update.  (The password is correct, but iPad says it's incorrect) How do I fix this?

    My iPad won't recognize my wifi password after 7.0.2 update.  The password IS correct, but I continue to get the message that the password is incorrect.  Any ideas how to fix this?

    I have the same problem too on my iPad 3. One thing that sometimes works is if you go to the App Store and put your password in there after a few tries it may work.

  • IPad won't connect to WiFi network, but macbook pro & iphones will.

    Both of my iPhones and my Macbook Pro easily connect to the wi-fi network. I feel like I've tried everything to get my iPad to connect. It used to connect perfectly fine and I'd watch Netflix, but then it started crashing. I work for a non-profit so it's a company network, not my personal one, but it's the only network I have considering I live here! Such a pain!
    I've reset my network settings.
    I've click "Forget Network"
    I've done a hard reset of the iPad multiple times.
    NOTHING WORKS.
    Can some super tech savvy person help a girl out?! I would greatly appreciate it.

    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 drooping 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.

  • Bought a new Ipod touch and the WiFi does not connect.  Tried Reset and total Restore, does not connect to Router on DHCP, tried Static manually and still can not get it to connect even though it registers as connected.

    Bought a new Ipod touch and the WiFi does not connect.  Tried Reset and total Restore, does not connect to Router on DHCP, tried Static IP, Subnet, Router and DNS manually and still can not get it to connect even though it registers as connected.  Using Airport for router, latest firmware, no problems with Iphone 4 or Macbook Pro or any other internet devices.  After total Restore (factory settings) tried again, showed connected to router, but does not display "check" next to router but little rotating icon even though the wifi range signal shows connected at full strength and it says it is connected.  Just can't seem to get it to generate an IP.  Any solutions other than turning it on and off again?  Not a Merry Christmas morning.

    Ok, so, a couple of things:  Denisefromwaleska and I have the exact same size/type/color iPod.  Now wishing I'd bought the black one maybe...
    Second, Airport is an Express and I have a second one that I carry with me when I travel.  Tried to connect my Airport Express to the internet and could not although the iPod did recognize the router and tried to connect to the internet for some time, unlike my previous problem.  Updated firmware on my travel router, still could not connect to the internet.  Going to try to set up a manual Static IP on the travel router here in a few and conect through it although I predict the problem will persist. Back on the Christmas Present Airport Express router, it is back in play and working fine for all devices save the iPod. 
    Thanks again for all your help, hopefully I can get a solution in place soon,

    My ipad has stopped connecting to wifi, a reset hasn't worked, what else can I try? (the wifi is fine as other apple products connect ok)

    Have you tried a 'hard reset'. You do not lose any of your data on the iPad.
    Here are the steps:
        Press the Power Buton and the Home button simultaneously.
        Continue to hold down both buttons until the iPad shuts off
        Release the buttons when the Apple Logo appears.
    Also, make sure your iPad is not in airplane mode. Settings, Airplane mode is the first option under settings,
    Hope this helps.

    After updating to 8.1.2 my iPad continues to restart. I tried resetting all the settings and this didn't work. I tried rebooting by holding the start button & power button and it didnt work either. The problem has actually worsened. I can no longer use my iPad.

    You need to restore the iPad.
    Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings - Apple Support
    If that will not work, you will need to use Recovery Mode to restore.
