Ipad won't remain connected with network
I can connect our Ipads to our home wireless network (Netgear) without a problem, but they both intermittently drop their logins and have to be manually logged back in. This doesn't happen with my Macbook or my Iphone. What gives? They are both registered in my router.
Try #5.
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

IPad Won't Stay Connected to Networks without Internet Access
We use iPads for onsite demos with customers where we bring our own network using an ASUS WL-330N mobile router.
iPads on iOS6 will connect to the router but then anything that touches the internet, it bumps it off the WiFi network.
Upon reading some other postings we have even tried to route the IP for www.apple.com to the computer on the network with spotty success, about 20%. All we are attempting to do is use the iPad to hit a site hosted on a PC within the same network via IP Address. iPads on the exact same router at the same time running iOS5 work without issue, Android tablets, phones and iPhones on iOS5 or later work just fine.
There has to be a workaround for the iOS6 need to hit https://www.apple.com/library/test/success.html please assist.Same issue.
I use my private network just to print from my iPad, but as soon as i connect to my wifi, iPad tries to access internet (www.apple.com).
No such issue with ios5. -

I updated my 4s to IOS 8 and now it won't automatically connect with my Ford SYNC. I have to turn the phone off and then on again for it to connect.
Why is this? My husband's 4s is still on IOS7 and it still connects automatically.I do not know if this will help.
For a limited time Apple will allow you to downgrade to 7.1.2. Hurry do not wait.

I recently updated my ipad and then I connected with my computer for sync, not realising that I had a new version of itunes with none of my apps. Now I have lost all of the apps and books etc, that I had prurchased. How do I get them back?
As long as the apps and ibooks are still available in the store, and you use the same iTunes account as you originally used to buy them, then you should be able to re-download them for free : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519

IPad won't bluetooth pair with Mac mini
I would like to use Mobile Mouse by RPA Tech on my IPad mini to control my Mac mini running OS X 10.6.8. It would be my preference to use a Bluetooth PAN instead of WiFi, I say this because Bluetooth peripherals seem to auto-connect better than Wifi, might be my imagination. Anyway, I can't get my iPad to pair with the Mac. The Mac sends a code, the iPad asks if I want to pair, then the pairing comes back as unsuccessful. Any ideas?
It is not designed to. The ipad will not even connect with it with air drop. You can only pair a mouse or keyboard.

I lose connection with network (router: Airport Extreme, latest firmware) whenever MacBook Pro put to sleep. Have to use diagnostics to reconnect. Tells me network configurations have changed, then reconnects me to network. What is the fix?
Try the following, in order, until (hopefully) resolved:
1a. Delete Preferred Network(s)
System Preferences > Network > AirPort > Advanced > AirPort tab
Under "Preferred Networks," delete the network(s) you regularly use from the list.
1b. Delete AirPort Keychain Entries
Launch the "Keychain Access" application located in Applications/Utilties.
Click on the "Kind" filter at the top, and look for any "AirPort network password" entries...and delete them.
1c. Add Preferred Network(s)
System Preferences > Network > AirPort > Advanced > AirPort tab
Add the preferred network(s) using the "+" button.
Restart or log out then back in.
2. Move System Configuration Files
(Note: You will have to reestablish your network connections settings.)
Go to /Library/Preferences
Move the SystemConfiguration folder to the desktop.
Restart your Mac. (Note: OS X will rebuild the files that are now sitting on your desktop. If this doesn't resolve the issue, you can move the folder back to it's original location.) -
Today for some reason my Ipad won't tether properly. The iphone says it's connected and on the Ipad next to Wi-Fi in settings shows I'm connected but at the top left of the screen there is no connection icon and I cannot load and display web pages. My Ipad is about three weeks old and I have never had this problem before. I have rebooted but this did not solve my problem.

Won't stay connected to network
Not sure if this is a Safari problem or internal with my Mac somehow. I have a G5 and I connect to a router for wireless internet. I also connect to my printer through the same router.
I've noticed sometimes when I exit safari and then come back to the computer later and click the Safari Icon it sometimes doesn't connect to the internet without me having to go through a "Network Diagnostic" test. Then usually what happens is about half way through the diagnostics my internet home page will load, or I'll get to the end of the diagnostic and it says "your connection is working" and then the home page will appear.
The problem I have now is that my computer won't stay connected to my printer. If I try to print a document or photo it does not send it to the printer, however if I turn Safari on so I know I'm connected to the network then all of a sudden the printer will work.
I guess somehow my computer is automatically disconnecting from my network and I'm not sure why or how to fix it. I've gone into the network preferences an it always shows "airport" is on and I always show all "solid" in the little icon at the top that looks like a "fan".
Any thoughts here on why my comp doesn't seem to stay connected to the network?
Thank you.HI,
Try updating your system software to 10.5.8 with the combo update available here.
http://support.apple.com/downloads/MacOS_X_10_5_8_ComboUpdate
After the installation, repair disk permissions.
Quit any open applications/programs. Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.

IPad stopped WiFi internet connection with Time Capsule
My wife's iPad is suddenly having a problem connecting to the internet via the Time Capsule (3rd Gen). Full strength on the WiFi icon but gets message that it cannot connect to the internet. This just started. Her MacBook Air connects fine and so does my MBP and my iPad as well as our daughter's MB and iPad. Both of our iPhones also show full wifi strength. Just my wife's iPad that suddenly is having a problem. I have tried powering down the iPad. I have tried turning the wifi on and off. I have sync'd it with iTunes and it reports that the OS is up-to-date. I used the AirPort Utility and checked the TC and it seems to be up-to-date. I also did a "Renew DHCP Lease"
The iPad is a Model MB293LL running version 4.3.5 (8L1)
The iPad Settings shows it connected to the Time Capsule with an IP Address of 10.0.1.4; Subnet Mask of 255.255.255.0; Router of 10.0.1.1
When I use "About This Mac" on my MBP, it shows the TC (with Version 7.5.2) info as:
Wedgewood Time Capsule:
PHY Mode: 802.11g
BSSID: 0:19:e3:30:e3:39
Channel: 1
Network Type: Infrastructure
Security: WPA2 Personal
Signal / Noise: -87 dBm / -96 dBm
Wedgewood Time Capsule:
PHY Mode: 802.11n
BSSID: 90:27:e4:5c:f6:e0
Channel: 149
Country Code: US
Network Type: Infrastructure
Security: WPA2 Personal
Signal / Noise: -81 dBm / -96 dBmPlease disregard my post...It's now connecting...go figure. Last night, I did all of the above described in my post and nothing. This morning, I do the post and then I go and do another Safari link to Apple.com and it connects.

AD "Log on to" restriction causes RDP connections with network level authentication to fail
I am running a Server 2008 R2 environment and have recently enabled network level authentication for RDP connections. Since the change, users who have their logons restricted to specific servers via AD, now get an error when logging on via RDP:
An Authentication error has occured
The Local security authority cannot be contacted
After investigating this error and reading technet I found that removing the "log on to" restriction within their user object solved the problem even tho they had rights to this server. Adding the users client PC name to the "Log on
to" list also solves this issue.
My question is, is there another way around this? We have an environment where some users may require an RDP connection from a client PC not on the same domain (over VPN) as the server. It will not be practical to add many different client PC names
to the log on to list and I don't understand why client PC's must be specified in the Log on to list and not just the actual server they are logging onto.
Any pointers appreciatedI have just come across this problem on one of my client’s domains; they have recently enforced a policy to “Allow connections only from computers running Remote Desktop with Network Level Authentication (more secure)” and users with “Log on To” restrictions
on their account are no longer able to RDP using their second account.
After a lot of fiddling around I finally resolved the problem by adding the connecting computer name into “Log on To” list. Ultimately it appears that Network Level Authentication (NLA) requires authentication to take place on both the host initiating
the connection and the remote host.
