MY i pad 2 is not charging and can not pick up wi fi

my ipad is not charging right and not picking up wi fi.

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 drooping 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

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.

When excite comes up the page loads and about 7 or 8 seconds later a pop up appears with "The URL is not valid and can not be loaded" on it. I can't figure out what URL is not valid. It does it every time I refresh or come back to the homepage. It just did it again as I type this.

  • My iPad will not charge and will not switch on, blank screen.....

    My iPad will not charge and will not switch on, blank screen.....

    Have you tried a soft-reset to see if that gets the iPad to turn on and/or to charge ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds, after which the Apple logo will hopefully appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • My iphone will not charge and will not turn on?

    Today my iphone is dead. It will not charge and will not turn on. Could it need a new cord? It is just 5 months old! It has always been in the Lifeproof case. Ideas?

    Plug it into a wall outlet for at least 30 minutes, then try resetting it, again: Press the Sleep/Wake button & Home button at the same time, keep pressing until you see the Apple logo, then release.

    computer crashed had to factory recover OS and can not play the 2 movies i purchased prior  to computer crashing can not play and can not locate! How do I recover them?

    You definitely need to resurrect the old password associated with the Apple ID you used to purchase the music.
    Go here: https://iforgot.apple.com
    An email will be sent to the email address associated with that account with instructions regarding resetting that Apple ID's password.
    If you no longer have access to that email, the resolution to this problem becomes considerably more difficult. In that event you would need to contact iTunes Support and explain your dilemma.

  • My iphone 5 will not charge, and will not power on.

    My iphone 5 is 14 months old and it will not charge, and it has died. My charger cable works as it charges my ipad, and I also used a second charger for good measure. Please help.
    When I try to power on, it goes to the battery sign with the lightning bolt underneath.
    It has been on the charger for a while, and still no luck.
    I tried a hard reset to no avail, and I connected it to my computer, but it is dead and itunes won't recognize it if it is dead.

    Inspect the charging port area for dirt/debris/fluff build-up that may be preventing a good connection and use a wooden toothpick, soft clean toothbrush, or a can of compressed air to clean it. Also look for bent or broken pins. Try another cable and/or charger block (be sure to always use a genuine Apple certified brand) in a known good outlet. If you're using a USB port, try another port. If you're using a hub, try a direct connection. If you're using a USB port in the front of a desktop computer, try one in the back. If all these fail, make an appointment at your nearest Genius Bar to have the device evaluated.

  • Battery not charging and MBP not waking up from sleep

    I've got both of these issues happening. Sounds like I just have to wait it out on the sleep issue until a point at which Apple will issue a fix. The battery not charging is becoming especially frustrating though. I've had the computer for about a month and it just started a few days ago. I've checked the battery to see if it qualifies for replacement and it has the correct model number but the s/n has a different last for digits. I've unplugged/removed battery/held down the power button and no change, the battery still does not charge. Seeing as the MBP will run with the power cable inserted and the battery removed, I'm assuming that the cable's ok, the light has rarely come on at all lately -- no green or amber. Any advice here? I'm getting pretty frustrated with this thing.

    I met the same issue, the difference is while i touch the track pad or move mouse or hit keyboard, the screen responds rapidly and then back to black. tap the keyboard, it beeps... I can do nothing except "command+control+power" to restart or long press power to power off it.
    I found it only happens after I installed 10.8.2, it works well before 10.8.2 update.
    any help please?

  • My new computer with Windows 8.1 will not charge and will not disply playlists

    My new computer with Windows 8 will not charge my iPad and iPods.  Also iTunes will display the music on the Apple devices but not the playlists

    Hey, I may have to if I can't get this one to work!!
    I have tried a different USB to no avail.  Both cables work on my old Dell so I don't believe they are the issue. 
    I uninstalled iTunes as directed by Apple Support and reinstalled.  Apparently, Apple Mobile Device Support is not loading with it because it does not show up in programs.

  • IPod touch 5 is not charging and is not syncing.

    My ipod was working fine yesterday, but then last night I tried charging it and it kept saying "USB device not recognized" it's not even charging either. I just bought this charger a couple weeks ago for like $20 I can't get a new one because my grandpa would kill me, and i can't buy a new ipod. i tried everything i could think of. I uninstalled itunes on my windows 8 laptop, and then i reset everything on my ipod. it's still not working at all. they are both up to date. should i take it to a best buy and see if they could do anything? or is there anything i could do at home to save me the trip? please help! thank you.

  • P10 504 will not charge and will not operate from mains

    hi
    I'm having difficulties with my P10-504. I plug my charger in the back of the unit and nothing happens. No lights come on at the front and no charging or powering of the notebook.
    I have some charge left in the battery and it shows that the computer is operating from battery power (discharging) and not AC power.
    I have checked to make sure that the charger is operational with a volt meter and it seems to be fine.
    Can any one offer a soloution for me?
    Thanks
    Adam

    Hi there
    What's the ASP?
    I've had a similar problem before, somehow the prong in the power clug snapped off in the charging cable and so the computer would only charge if the cable was held in place.
    I sent my computer to Toshiba who fixed the problem, replacing the motherboard I believe.
    I now have the problem that the cable and socket appears to be fine yet the computer will not charge.
    If I hold the cable in a certian position the light flicks on. If I find that position and leave it there within seconds the lights go out and will not come back on.
