Missing iPad Wireless icon

Why does my iPad's cellular LTE icon display when I'm on a wireless network, that connection confirmed by a checkmark next to my network list in Settings?

This happens to me, too, when my iPad connects to a wifi-network which needs to use a VPN login to use the internet. I suppose that the iPad just looks for an internet connection, if it can't reach the internet, it will use the cullular network instead of the wifi. I were able to solve this by turning on the VPN client, which firtsly connects via the cellular network but after the successful connection to the VPN it switches to the wifi icon.

IPad 2 icons go missing from desktop on rotating basis

As stated, iPad 2 icons go missing from desktop on rotating basis. My iPad was new as of Xmas day. I have NOT synced to iTunes (I don't want to at this time) and I have NOT upgraded the software to iOS 5.0.1 (still on 5.0).
I have downloaded about twenty apps; five of which cost money from Apple's app store.
I don't get it. This is a new device that I have been using for less than ten days for only an hour or two a day; I don't believe new purchasers of iPads should be having to contend with icons going missing (icons take turns disappearing when swiping back and forth between the pages of app icons, the names of icons remain, however).
I have re-booted the iPad. At first the icons all reappear and all seems well until about an hour of usage of opening up various apps and using them, and then the problem re-appears. I have done this three times now, and have resorted to just contending with the problem as the apps will still launch and they run fine, it is just that the full icon doesn't appear (only the name of the app and a missing icon above the name of the app):
I am thinking the cause could be due to one of two problems/issues, but wonder what others' thoughts are.
1). Glitchy App. If it is due to a glitchy app (and does not Apple test these apps before giving the all -clear to be downloaded from the Apple app store?), how best to figure out which one it is?
2) Glitchy OS (iOS 5.0). If this is due to a glitchy 5.0 iOS, is there no other choice than to upgrade to 5.0.1? I really do not want to do that just yet unless it is necessary. [And if it is necessary, would Apple really release a glitchy iOS knowing ahead of time it had problems? Seems strange....]
Anyone got any ideas or have been experiencing the same issue (is it a known issue)?

And if you restore as new, you can re download the apps for free as long as you are using the same apple id.
If it was a single bad app, you would have said so. If it was a common problem with the os, it would have been reported by a zillion users.
I think your os got corrupted. ( potentially from a bad app, or maybe just gremlins). It is a new machine, just start over. Reload the apps in small groups so that if it is a bad app, you can narrow the issue down.

Hi
I am experiencing wireless connection problem on 4s after ios 8.1 upgrade. The wireless icon appears showing that it's connected but webpages do not load. I have checked my internet connection with other devices and seems to be alright. what to do?
I have tried reseting the network settings and forgetting my wireless connection and re-connecting to it. I even backed up my phone on itunes and restored it, factory reseted it. Nothing seems to work.
Also after my upgrade to ios 8.1 my personal hotspot option under cellular data has disappeared.
Would you please help me out? I would really appreciate it.

Hi..
Restart your router then restart the iPhone to test.

Itunes will not load on my ipad. Icon is there. When I open "Music", it shows itunes with no content briefly and then takes me back to home page. What to do?

itunes will not load on my ipad. Icon is there. When I open "Music", it shows itunes with no content briefly and then takes me back to home page. What to do?

Quit the app and restart.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Restart the iPad.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Or reset the iPad.
Reset 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 - let go of the buttons.

HT201335 Can I connect an Ipad wirelessly to a projector?

Can I connect an Ipad wirelessly to a projector?

Epson has a bit of software called EasyMP for PC's or Macs - this can be used wired USB / VGA / HDMI - or used wirelessly from either device without too much trouble.
If you give the Projector an IP Address in its own "Settings" Menu and then connect wirelessly using Epson's iProjection App for the iPad it should work.

Hi, I`d like to connect my Ipad wirelessly to a stereo to listen to my music from the iTunes library on streaming, but also to movies online, games, Goear-) and so on. I guess I can do that using an Airport express connected to the stereo and via airplay

Hi, I`d like to connect my Ipad wirelessly to a stereo to listen to my music from the iTunes library on streaming, but also to movies online, games, Goear…) and so on. I guess I can do that using an Airport express connected to the stereo and via airplay to my Ipad. My question is, can I listen to all the audio that come out from the ipad (movies online, games, Goear…) or only to the music from iTunes library? I`d appreciate any help. Alex.

On the iPad you can stream videos, photos, or music from the Video, Photos, Music, and YouTube apps to an Apple TV OR just stream music to an AirPort Express Base Station.

Exclamation Mark on wireless icon

Hi,
I have a MacBook 5,2 Intel Core 2 Duo 2.13 Ghz 2GB Memory running snow leopard. I connect to my personal wireless at home and a wireless at my university campus (set-up on campus).
Since my upgrade to snow leopard I have had no issues at home however on campus the wireless icon shows an exclamation mark with a message on the drop down menu "alert: no internet connection". this happens on my university campus only (at least so far). The strange thing is the internet is working and I can browse/download etc. I have contacted the IT department on campus and they have said the issue has only started with people with snow leopard and have no idea. To clarify, the internet is working but I am being told it is not (on campus only, not the case at home). It is not a huge issue as I can access the internet but the exclamation mark is driving me crazy and cannot find a solution.
Any ideas? anyone else encountered this issue? Thanks for your help!

We too have similar problems. I have an older macbook with leopard and it's fine - but a new MBPro with snow leopard has all these problems.
I was prompted to respond here in particular because when we tried to wirelessly connect the MBPro to my home router (it worked for about 30 seconds initially - internet connection as well, but then died) it not only doesn't work (and shows the exclamation mark) but it hangs the router - ie: the old macbook loses connection as well. The only fix here is to restart the router.
This result is completely repeatable. Now (because we successfully connected for a few seconds with the correct wep password) all we have to do is open the lid of the MBPro and my old trusty macbook stops working as well!! (I can't ping the router at this stage either) Power cycle router and comes good again (having turned off airport on the MBPro).
Now, at a different location our BT broadband has gone pear-shaped (almost brand new homehub looks as if it might have died) one wonders if the MBPro is suspect again..
I do hope an OS update will fix this annoyance.

I have a Airport Extreme that is dropping the wireless signal alot (several times a day). The green light will go amber but the internet service (ethernet cable) will still be fine. The wireless icon on devices with go away.

I have a Airport Extreme that is dropping the wireless signal alot (several times a day) The green light will go amber, but the internet service is still ok if your using an ethernet cable directly plugged in. When the light goes amber all devices that is using wireless will lose there wireless icon. The only way to get the green light back is to unplug the Airport device and replug it back in. I tried the reset on the back but still no luck. What is the fix?

Let's see if I can get this straight.
You have an Airport Extreme base station that is set to "Create a wireless network" and you have the box checked for "allow this network to be extended"....
Then you have an Airport Express that is set to "Extend a wireless network" which you selected the name of your network in the box...
Correct?
See this Apple document:

The wireless unit on the right of the diagram can be either of the newer Apple base stations.
Extreme, Express, Time Capsule

Missing iPad

Missing: iPad (first generation3G and WifI 64G), March 16 2011 on flight 1560 from Dallas to Newark,black case. My iPad was in airplane mode when I closed it and put it in my back pack upon arriving to Newark. Somewhere between disembarking plane and getting on tram, it disappeared from my backpack. I tried the Find function but since I didn't have a chance to take it out of airplane mode....no good. I finally cancelled data service today because I was hoping it would be returned. Lost and Founds and airline at both airports have my info but nothing. I am putting this out there just in case someone found it and thinks to look here.Reward if found.
BTW: since it is in airplane mode and password protected, no one can get in, right?

Leaving it in airplane mode really makes no more difference than, say, leaving it OFF before it goes missing. The Fine Me app doesn't work unless and until the u it pops up on the net somewhere, always assuming that the feature had been turned on in Settings.
How secure it is will, of course, depend mostly on what you mean by "password protected", on how strong the password is, how good the new owner is at getting around that sort of thing, and etc. My own expectation would have been that at some point that goombah's going to figure out how to get out of Airplane and to start trying to use the iPad online and, and at point, the app can go to work.
