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.

You already have a wireless router or have just bought one, or do you have an ad hoc connection from iMac to AppleTV?
If things worked in the other location this all point to poor network performance/connectivity. It may be the connection is intermittently lost - small files transfer ok, but interruptions during longer transfers scupper the process.
Interference from cordless phone bases or microwaves (and neighbours devices) might also cause connectivity issues.
Signal strength bars are often not that useful, but will indicate connection to the main wireless device they connect to - so AppleTv may have a good connection to the router but a poor iMac connection to router is not displayed by AppleTV which only shows the connection to the first device in the chain.
You could consider some home mains newtorking plugs such as those made by Devolo but they usually have to be on the same mains ring.

HT200028 i want to use my Apple TV while camping using my hot spot on my iPad as my wireless network.

I currently have my Apple TV set up using my wireless network in my home. I plan to use the Apple TV while camping and thinking I should be able to use my Hot Spot on my iPad to display on my TV while camping. What I'm not finding is how to find my network on my iPad? What do I need to do to assign my Hot Spot as a network? Can this be done or do I need a remote router?

So when I connect my ATV to my TV, I turn on my hot spot and go to Netflix. I can get Netflix on my iPad for streaming movies, but it won't share with my TV. The TV is telling me it doesn't recognize my network. When I go to settings, general and network on the TV screen, I'm asked to select a network. If I select other, I don't know what network to use? Does the iPad have a network assigned to it? If so, how do I access?

Ipad cannot see wireless network

Hi, I have a wireless network using several Cisco 1131AG wireless access points. I have several Mac computers that see the wireless SSID and connect to the internet wirelessly. However, Ipads and Iphones don't see the wireless network. They cannot see the SSID at all. I have tried ipad 2, iphone 4 and 5. The network is not secured at this point. Any help with this would be appreciated.

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.

Ipad wont recognise wifi network

Hi all I was wondering if anyone could help, for some reason my ipad wont recognise my wifi network, my Internet connection and router are fine and I have phones and x box's connected with no problem, I factory reset my ipad thinking it would help but forgot I needed connection to set it back up (no laptop or computer) I went away for a week and it connected and let me set it up when I came home, was on for 5 mins and disconnected again while in the middle of downloading the ios 8.1.2 update, at my wits end here as have tried everything it just won't recognise my network or any others

Hi Turn your Router off for 30 Seconds After Router comes back on Reset Network Settings After Reset Enter your Router wireless key. Also later check on website for any Firmware updates for your Router. Cheers Brian

Deskjet 3050 won't recognize wireless network anymore.

Product: HP Deskjet 3050
Operating system: Windows 7-64 bit
Printer quit printing wirelessly. Using the control panel on the printer, I restored defaults. Now it won't recognize any wireless networks. I have unplugged computer, but that didn't help. I don't want to unplug my router, because I will lost all my DVR items (we are on AT&T uverse). Any tips?

Run a Wireless Network Test from the Network menu of the front panel. What does it say?
If everything is OK (which I suspect), re-install the printer with the temporary use of a USB cable just as you did originally when you installed it.
Say thanks by clicking "Kudos" "thumbs up" in the post that helped you.

Is there any way to print from iPad without having wireless network?

My mom is getting an iPad 64GB Wi-Fi + 3G to be able to surf the internet easily since the only service available to her at her house is dial-up. She would like to be able to print from her iPad. It seems from my research that all the printers require connection to a wi-fi network to use airprint. Does anyone know of an easy way for her to print? Also, she doesn't have a computer available to her right now as it recently died. Does anyone know of a solution?

Well, without a wireless network she can't surf the 'net!
Yes, printers require connection to a WiFi network AND they must be AirPrint compliant.

AIO Remote wont recognize my network printer deskjet 3050

AIO remote app (IOS) did not recognize my network printer (Deskjet 3050), other apps (printer pro lite) did recognize the printer flawlessly, both the printer and the iphone are in the same network, I can print from my PC and my mac but not from AIO remote app (not even recognize the printer).
Can you help me?

Hello MrCrysis,
With the Printer Pro Lite app working to printer, this is excellent to hear. Although this is not an HP app. So to explain as to why the AiO Remote app is not recognizing your printer, and not being able to scan. Your printer does not have AirPrint capabilities according to the 'HP Deskjet 3050 (J610) and 3050A (J611) All-in-One Printer Series Product Specifications'. AirPrint is a requirement for the HP AiO Remote app to work, and because the printer does not have AirPrint the app can not see the printer.
Regards .

Doing a Google Search on Iphone or Ipad chokes my wireless network!

Almost every time I do a google search in safari on my Iphone5 or Ipad2 (happened with ios 5&6), it chokes my wireless network. I am still connected, just not going anywhere. Found this article that said to change DNS entries to googles 8.8.8.8 or 8.8.8.4 but IT STILL CHOKES! Here is the article, describes the problem well. http://osxdaily.com/2012/09/27/iphone-5-wifi-problem-fix/
Help Brainiacs! I am yelling some very unladylike things upon each reboot (which solves the symptom but not the problem and leaves me vexed and mean.)
Any suggestions?
Lisa

Do you have the google app on your phone? if so i saw where somewhere else posted that if they had the google app open and not signed out of google in the app ( and not closed at the bottom, how you double tap the home button and close the apps ) then it would cause this issue also.

Wont recognize wireless extender, wont recognize wireless extender

we recently installed a wireless router extender obviously to extend the wireless range on the computer.
Although I went through all the steps, every time I try to use the internet I get "you are not connected to the internet" although I can see the network clearly. I have to revert back to the original wireless network to use the internet. This does not help me when I need to be "outside the range" and use the ext network (which is also faster and stronger). Are there settings I need to change, use?

In Airport Utility, under Manual > Wireless: Do you have the “Allow this network to be extended” checkbox?

Why does my powerbook suddenly not recognize wireless network-no connection

I did a software update yesterday (EFI Firmware Update, Bluetooth Firmware Update, Java for Mac OSX 10.5 Update 4, iPhoto Update, Safari, iTunes, HP Printers Drivers Update) and now, suddenly, my connection fails. The computer can't recognise my wireless network, while other computers in the house do. I dont know if it;s related to keychains, i've unlocked them, but nothing works. Help? Thank you.

FIXED!
The IP address of the printer had changed. I printed a new Configuration Page from the printer, which contains the IP address. I then entered the new IP address into my iMac. The iMac was then able to 'see' the printer and I can now print.
The HP forums solved this for me.

Use ipads over local wireless network to view a webpage hosted on a mac book pro?

My only experience of Apple products is my much loved iphone 4.
I am an event photographer currently using windows laptops at events. My staff download my images to a powerful host laptop, select those for use and build a webpage stored in a shared folder on the host laptop. This laptop is hard wired to a wireless router, and 3 or 4 further laptops ( much lower spec as web browsing is all that is required) connect to the network and access the webpage allowing potenital customers to view the images on site at the event. It all works very well. After the event an online web gallery with ecart is created and added to my website.
There are a couple of problems with my 5 yr old host laptop - battery is dead and now the screen backlight has died- so I need a new one, and am for the first time I am considering a Mac. Probably a top spec mac book pro 15 inch for portability - the current one is 17 inch with a power supply the size of a house brick (and heavier an than a brick!) and I am trying to reduce the weight and physical volume of kit I am carrying to events.
Can I replicate my windows set up using ipads and a macbook pro? Is so, would first generation ipads (which I could pick up second hand on a well known auction site perhaps?) suffice or would it need to second gen?
Thanks for your time people, if anyone can help it would be great!

I'm not getting a clear picture at all of what problems you're seeing. If you are seeing online accounts have their passwords changed, those accounts are being hacked. Someone may already have access to some account and is using that access to reset passwords on other accounts. Change the password on EVERY online account you have. Be sure to use a strong password, and don't use the same password on more than one site.
If you are seeing changes to your bookmarks and browser history, your Apple ID may be one of the accounts that has been hacked. After changing the password on your Apple ID, you need to lock it down with two-factor authentication:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5570
Beyond that, we will need additional details about what specific symptoms you're seeing in order to help further. One thing I can say, though, is that these problems are very unlikely to be due to any kind of malware. See my Mac Malware Guide to learn more on that topic.

Adobe reader XI on xp does not recognize wireless network

upgrade to reader XI but can not connect to internet 'cause does not recognize access through wireless network

Good morning Michael and thank you,
Little introduction. Agronomist, family farming enterprise, 53 so I am not native digital. Want to put info on and about my work in the cloud, considering adobe and google, first trying to master it, later will need more services. Several laptops running on windows 7 and XP, connect via wi-fi on cable or 4GLTE; the problem arose in the xp platform in the adobe reader XI, as a stand alone, it displays message that can not connect to the internet, meanwhile the google chrome is up and running, I disable the PDF plugin of chrome, and try different ways on the matter but it was of no use. The problem is with adobe XI on xp, could be some sort of interaction with chrome, but unable to fix it, moreover, only your paid services has, as far as I could find out, have real support, but usually I go first to try and master the thing, and try it in order to see if I can manage the thing, but when I run into trouble could not find any help (besides this, that it is a help, but did not know the outcome from the start). In the other platforms operate well and I like it so far.
Best regards and a good 2015.
