IPads banned from Princeton network baring software upgrade..

Basically, My ipad appears to be a giant ipod with no internet : / Princeton university network has basically banned the devices from the network.
It would appear that they won't let ipads back onto the network until apple fixes the the software issue they are referring to below:
"Apple iPad Network Connectivity Issues
Status: Start Time: End Time: Last Update:
Alert In Progress 4/8/2010 10:13am
Details:
Network monitoring has shown that many iPad devices are causing a problem on the campus network. These devices are continuing to use an IP address they have been leased well beyond the time they should. This behavior causes a disruption on the campus network.
At this time, we have seen this behavior from the majority of iPad devices connected to the campus network. We believe this is a bug within the iPad operating system. OIT has reported this bug to Apple in hopes that they will be able to provide a fix for this issue.
Until a fix is provided by Apple, OIT recommends not connecting your iPad device to the campus network as it is extremely likely it will malfunction. iPad devices that malfunction in this manner while connected to the campus network may need to be blocked to maintain the stability and reliability of campus network services.
Services Affected:
Apple iPad
Does anyone have an idea as to how long something like this might take to fix? Or if there might be a fix?

I read the article that deggie posted:
http://www.pcworld.com/article/134941/ciscosays_network_gear_caused_duke_iphoneflooding.html
The article says that network was being hosed by an ARP storm, which is a very common network problem. It can be caused by any improperly behaving device on the network. Google 'ARP storm' if you want to read more about it.
I'm a retired Cisco router guy. If Cisco says that their software bug caused it, you should believe them.
Here is a document about a Cisco ARP storm vulnerability that they fixed in about the same timeframe as the reports about the ARP storms on iPhones:

How to get Leopard for iPad, iPhone, or other hardware or software upgrade?

Disclaimer: Apple does not necessarily endorse any suggestions, solutions, or third-party software products that may be mentioned in the topic below. Apple encourages you to first seek a solution at Apple Support. The following links are provided as is, with no guarantee of the effectiveness or reliability of the information. Apple does not guarantee that these links will be maintained or functional at any given time. Use the information below at your own discretion.
If you need 10.5 (Leopard) or 10.6 (Snow Leopard) for upgrading 10.4.11 or earlier, realize the following:
1. Mac OS X 10.5 may no longer be available on Apple's authorized reseller websites, however, Apple's online store phone number sometimes has 10.5 available for purchase. You may also find it in stores that specialize in used or refurbished Macs.
2. Neither Mac OS X 10.5 nor Mac OS X 10.6 is available for download legally.
3. Mac OS X 10.5 and above restrict your access to Mac OS 9, as is covered by this user tip:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2176255&tstart=0
4. Mac OS X 10.5 has these system requirements:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3759
Some Macs may be able to upgrade to 10.5 with unsupported system capabilities, using a third party software
called LeopardAssist. No Mac can upgrade to 10.6 without the the requirements for 10.6 being met.
5. Mac OS X 10.6 has these system requirements:
http://www.apple.com/macosx/specs.html
A more detailed coverage of if a Mac is Snow Leopard compatible is in this user tip:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2126451
6. Make sure all your software and hardware is compatible with your desired operating system upgrade before installing.
That means if a software says it is compatible with 10.5 or above, it is only compatible with 10.5 and 10.5.1.
If it says it is compatible with 10.5.x and above, it is only compatible with 10.5, 10.5.1, and 10.5.2.
If it says it is compatible with 10.5 to 10.5.4, you can't say for certain if it is compatible with 10.5.5 through 10.5.8.
Check with the software or hardware vendor the intention of their compatibility label if uncertain.
7. Backup your data at least twice, and shut down the computer and remove the backup medium from the computer before upgrading to
any version of Mac OS X.
8. Note: 10.6, and 10.5 are newer than 10.4.11. 10.4.11 is newer than 10.4.10, and both are newer than 10.4 through 10.4.9.

Both app.execMenuItem("FindAgain") and app.execMenuItem("FindPrevious") work just fine in Acrobat 8 Pro (from the console), but only after manually running the Find version once.
Think about it, all that JS does is call these functions. So calling Find from JS will basically not do anything because you can't specify to it what to search for. Even typing the string you want to search for in the "find" field doesn't work.
If you want to find words in a file using a script you will need to use getPageNthWord.

Ipad disconnected from home network and now is not showing it for me to connect to again

I live in a student house where 5 of us are all connected to the same house network. The other day both my Ipad and my laptop lost connection to the internet and I was unable to see my home group as an option to connect to on my laptop, but once i restarted the router I was able to connect again. However my Ipad still is not showing the option of my home network, even though it was previously connected to it for a couple of months prior. I know how to make all assessed networks appear on your laptop, but I have no idea how on my Ipad. Any suggestions please?

Try restting your iPad.
Reset iPad: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Ignore the "Slide to power off".
If that doesn't cure the problem try Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings.

If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily. Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

How to Upgrade to iOS 7
The iOS 7.0 update requires around 2.5 GB of storage space, so if your iPad is almost full, you may need to clear up some space. You can check your available space in Settings -> General -> Usage.
There are two ways to upgrade to iOS 7: You can use your Wi-Fi connection, or you can connect your iPad to your PC and update through iTunes. We'll go over each method.
To upgrade using Wi-Fi:
Note: If your iPad's battery is under 50%, you will want to plug it into your charger while performing the update.
Go into the iPad's Settings.
Locate and tap "General" from the menu on the left.
The second option from the top is "Software Update". Tap this to move into the update settings.
Tap "Download and Install". This will start the upgrade, which will take several minutes and will reboot your iPad during the process. If the Download and Install button is grayed out, trying clearing up some space. The space required by the update is mostly temporary, so you should gain most of it back after iOS 7 is installed.
Once the update is installed, you may have to run through the initial steps of setting up your iPad again. This is to account for new features and settings.
To upgrade using iTunes:
First, connect your iPad to your PC or Mac using the cable provided when you purchased your device. This will allow iTunes to communicate with your iPad.
You will also need the latest version of iTunes. Don't worry, you will be prompted to download the latest version when you launch iTunes. Once it installs, you may be asked to setup iCloud by logging into your iTunes account. If you have a Mac, you may be prompted on whether or not you want to enable the Find my Mac feature.
Now you are ready to begin the process:
If you upgraded iTunes earlier, go ahead and launch it. (For many, it will launch automatically when you plug in your iPad.)
Once iTunes is launched, it should automatically detect that a new version of the operating system exists and prompt you to upgrade to it. Choose Cancel. Before updating, you will want to manually sync your iPad to make sure everything is up to date.
After canceling the dialog box, iTunes should automatically sync with your iPad.
If iTunes doesn't automatically sync, you can manually do it by selecting your iPad within iTunes, clicking on the File menu and choosing Sync iPad from the list.
After your iPad has been synced to iTunes, select your iPad within iTunes. You can find it on the left side menu under Devices.
From the iPad screen, click on the Update button.
After verifying that you want to update your iPad, the process will begin. It takes a few minutes to update the operating system during which time your iPad may reboot a few times.
After updating, you may be asked a few questions when your device finally boots back up. This is to account for new settings and features.

Since the software upgrade connecting to hotspot from my iphone with my ipad is not working.

Since the software upgrade , I cannot connect my ipad2 to my iphone 4s via the phones hotspot. Regular wifi is ok. Is anyone else having this problem? I tried resetting the network settings on the ipad, but it didn't help. The ipad sees the hotspot, but doesn't connect. My phone service is with Verizon.

I think I solved the problem. I did a network reset on both the ipad and iphone. So far so good.

I have an old version on my iPad 4.3.3 and can't figure out how to upgrade. Per the manual "Software Upgrades" is not an option from the General Settings.

The option to update without the computer (Over the air) was made available with iOS 5. If your iDevice is using a version of iOS lower than 5, you will need to use iTunes on your syncing computer to perform the upgrade. Use the Apple link below as a guide for the upgrade.

Try rebooting your router and or cable modem. Unplug it/them for about 30 seconds and then plug back in. See if it works then.
Reboot your iPad as well.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

I allow my grandchildren to play free games on my ipad that I download for them. Is there a way to prevent them from accidentally (or otherwise) purchasing upgrades? My 6 yr old just did so and has no idea how she did it. Can I block this access?

Yes. You can set restrictions.

Epson Workforce 845 will not print after IPad software upgraded

All worked well before I upgraded my Ipad2 software yesterday. No longer prints. Message when I press print says it is searching for an AirPrint printed, and finds none on my network. Nothing has changed except the software upgrade. hat must I do?

Thanks...other computers on the wireless network continue to work well. The Epson Workforce 845 is an approved printer on AirPrint. Trying to find a printer setup screen on the iPad without success. When I bought the new wireless printer, it worked right out of the box with the iPad.
I am tempted to restore the software to the original factory settings through iTunes but fear losing everything that has been added since I got it. A disclaimer on iTunes says I can back all up, and later reinstall after I reset to original factory settings, but I am skeptical. Any experience in this area?

IPad - after software upgrade the APN settings keep resetting by themselves. There are multilple accounts of this happening. Please help.

Hello,
I have a problem with an iPad 2. After the software upgrade to iOS 5 the APN settings keep resetting all by themselves (I set the APN, I get out of the setting by pressing the back arrow on the top left of the screen, I get back in there and the APN setting is gone). Of course, the internet connection si not working. I've seen other people having the same problem on their iPads after the upgrade.
Does anyone have any idea what the problem could be?

I too am experiencing this issue - on an iPad 2 using a UK BT DATA plan SIM. This is not an issue with the SIM, as I have tried it in a different iPad and it works without any problems.
I have also tried all recent iOS updates, hoping it would overcome the issue - but no joy.
Can we have some assistance from the fine people at Apple please???
It is getting rather infuriating
