Ipad1 losing wifi connection. Need to switch off/on the wifi in settings to reconnect

I having problems after updating to 5.1. The wifi continiue working on PCs so no problem  related to the router. The coverage is good. The problem come out every 5-10 minutes. Any problem with 5.1?

Look at iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections  http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
Additional things to try.
Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
On your iPad go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings and see if that enables you to connect.
If none of the above suggestions work, look at this link.

  • Need to switch off and on my apple tv v2 each time I want to connect my PC under vista

    Hello
    need to switch off and on my apple tv v2 each timeI I want to connect my PC under vista.
    After that, everything is going well...
    But it is not the best user experience ;-)
    Any idea if this can be fixed ?
    My PC is under Vista...
    Thanks a lot

    I'm having the same problem.  It seems to have started after the most recent firmware upgrade.  Does anybody know if Apple is looking into this?  It's rather irritating to have to reboot the Apple Tv every time I want to use it!

  • TS3694 my phone has switched off for the second time this week, however when connecting to itunes the restore process wont complete. the error is 2006 however i have tried a number of USB cords, and none seem to be working.

    my phone has switched off for the second time this week, however when connecting to itunes the restore process wont complete. the error is 2006 however i have tried a number of USB cords, and none seem to be working.
    I am in the noerthern [parts of australia and accessing an apple store is not possiable for another month. this is my only soucrce or telecommunication. please help

    This is what it says about error 2006
    Error 2000-2009 (2001, 2002, 2005, 2006, 2009, and so on)
    If you experience this issue on a Mac, disconnect third-party devices, hubs, spare cables, displays, reset the SMC, and then try to restore. If you are using a Windows computer, remove all USB devices and spare cables other than your keyboard, mouse, and the device, restart the computer, and try to restore. If that does not resolve the issue, try the USB issue-resolution steps and articles listed for Error 1604 above. If the issue persists, it may be related to conflicting security software. If the errors persist on another computer and known-good USB cable, the device may need service.

    Your call will be made over your cell signal, not wifi, unless its facetime.

    I  am using 2 unit provided AC charger to charge my iPad mini. After a while, I checked the device. The battery is no longer in charge mode. It is only 80% charged. When I touch the AC charger, it is hot. I need to switch off the AC charger to let it cool down before continue to charge my iPad mini again. Of course it will be 100% charge but must make sure the AC charger is cool down completely. 
    I feel that the provided AC charger that is not suitable for our charging on iPad mini.

    I would book an appointment at an Apple Store, if you have one nearby, to have it looked at.

  • Can an ipad with a 4g lte use facetime or is a wifi connection needed?

    can a 3rd generation ipad with a 4g lte use facetime or is a wifi connection needed?

    You can create a hotspot connection using your phone as the Internet source.  As far as the pad is concerned, it sees a wifi signal.  I don't think using the pad hotspot is going to work.

  • My IPad wifi connection goes on and off several times a day. Wha is the problem, My IPad wifi connection goes on and off several times a day. Wha is the problem

    My IPad wifi and Internet  connection goes on and off. But when I being my IPad to other homes, it works. What's wrong?

    Try this
    Settings->General->Reset->Reset Network Settings
    Then rejoin the wifi.
    If this does not work try this
    Settings->WI-FI->The wifi name->Forget this Network
    Then rejoin the wifi.
    If this does not work try this
    press the home button and lock until you see the apple logo.
    I hope this works ;-)

  • ' and utterly lost. the iPod is Completely switched off but the utility "Find My iPhone" is installed

    ' and utterly lost. the iPod is Completely switched off but the utility "Find My iPhone" is installed

    - If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
    - You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
    - If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
    - Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
    - There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it unless you had iOS 7 on the device. With iOS 7, one has to enter the Apple ID and password to restore the device.

    I finally figured it out.  Needed to update her Airport firmware and allow guest access, and also changed Sharing preferences to Allow Access for All Users.

  • Ipod shuffle switch off at the end of a playlist?

    Hi,
    I would like my ipod shuffle to automatically switch off at the end of a playlist (or after a certain time).
    Does anyone know if there is a solution to this? A firmware update or hack that solves this?
    Regards,
    - mg00se

    It's a simple player.  That's the way it works.
    If you can explain why (the situation when) you need your shuffle to play just one audio file, and then stop, maybe I (or someone else) can come up with a workaround to achieve what you need.

  • I can make a WiFi connection but pages will not load. WiFi works for a laptop using windows

    I can make a WiFi connection but pages will not load.  WiFi works ok on a laptop using Windows.  I have reset the WiFi settings but this makes no difference.

    Thanks, Linc, but  that almost helped:
    Because the retina 15 only has a wifi connection (no ethernet), that's the connection I'm stuck with for the notebook. But on the 27iMac, I did have both ethernet and wifi enabled. When I turned the wifi off on the 27, therer was a brief moment when both computers were showing their counterparts when I tried to make a network connection. BUT, after a few seconds of 'searching', the computer I was trying to connect to disappeared from the Network list.
    So I tried the opposite; the retina can only connect thru wifi, so that's a given. I swithched my ethernet off and then enabed the wifi on the 27 and ....same thing: When I try a network connection, there are a few seconds of 'searching', then the ony option I'm left with is share screen, which doesn't work either.
    I've read the 'dropped' network is a problem with the retina, but the odd thing is that I never lose my internet connection—that continues to work fine, as does Air Drop—but I can't seem to connect, network-wise.
    Any ideas about the dropped network?

    Hi. My wifi keeps disconnecting. I keep turning the wifi on and off in settings but will disconnect again after a minute or so. I use an ipad2 and my ios is updated. How to troubleshoot? - kay peralta

    Is this happening with one particular network or with all?  Make sure iOS is updated on the device.
    Try this:
    Reboot ipad by pressing and holding both the home and sleep/wake buttons at the same time until the apple logo appears on the screen, then let go. Then try to connect to network.
    Go to settings, Toggle airplane mode on/off. Make sure bluetooth is off. Turn on wif (airplane mode off). Try to connect.
    Reset Network Settings
    Go to settings/general/reset/reset network settings. Then try to connect to network.
    If its your home router, then reboot router by unplugging for 5-10min. (do this while you're resetting network settings).
    If problem persists, then check for firmware updates on your router.(you check router manufacturer support website for downloads and instructions).

  • TS1398 Since upgrading to ios6, all apple devices (new ipad, 2 iphone4 & itouch) are having difficulty reconnecting to the home hub wifi network. I.e, every time the lock screen comes on, the wifi connection is lost when you reopen the device. It's an ios

    Since upgrading to ios6, all the family's apple devices (new ipad, 2 iphone4 & itouch) are having difficulty reconnecting to the home hub wifi network. I.e, every time the lock screen comes on, the wifi connection is lost when you reopen the device and we have to reconnect through settings. This appears to be an ios6 software issue.
    Is there a solution to this wifi connection issue or do we wait for a software fix?
    I'd hate to think Apple is going down the Microsoft path, of passing untested software onto the user. What ever happened to Regression Testing, to ensure the existing functionality remains intact?
    I bought into the Apple dream, because it was intuitive, reliable & enjoyable to use, all the things that Microsoft windows isn't.
    Other issues we are experiencing are, Games are stuttering and the kids really miss the old YouTube app.
    Please Mr Browett, sort these issues out.

    YouTube is not now part of iOS 6.
    However, you can go to the App Store and do a search using YouTube. You can download several YouTube apps: YouTube (for the iPhone, a IPad app is in work), several users  like Jasmine and YouPlayer.

  • Tomcat switches off all the time

    I tried to install tomcat 5.5.12 on my windows xp computer. Unfortunately tomcat switches off all the time!!! I can not run tomcat automatically.
    What might be the problem? Are there maybe wrong windows settings?

    I think you need to look at tomcat websites and forums.
