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 droping 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.

    If you're sure you've installed the latest version of Flash, take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. After each step, relaunch Safari and test. For a "missing plug-in" error, start with Step 5.
    1. If you're only having trouble with YouTube videos, sign in to your YouTube account and load this page. You may see a link with the text "Leave the HTML5 Trial." If so, click that link.
    2. If you're getting a "blocked plug-in" error, then from the menu bar select
     ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
    and click Check Now. Quit and relaunch your browser.
    3. Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    /Library/Internet Plug-Ins
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted text and select
    Services ▹ Open
    from the contextual menu.* A folder should open. Delete the following item, or anything with a similar name, if present:
              •          Flash Player (failing).plugin 
    You may be prompted for your login password.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combinationcommand-C. In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
    4. Re-download and reinstall Flash. Download it from this page:
    Adobe - Install Adobe Flash Player
    Never download a Flash update from anywhere else.
    5. If you get a "missing plug-in" error, select
    Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
    from the Safari menu bar and check the box marked Enable plug-ins.
    6. Select
    Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
    from the Safari menu bar. If any extensions are installed, disable them.

  • My Ipad (3rd generation) will not back up to iCloud

    My iPad (3rd generation) has not backed up since Sept. 14. I have the latest iOS 8.1.3. It starts but ends abruptly. Any suggestions?

    Howdy gigi40,
    If I understand you correctly you can tap the "Back Up Now" and it appears to start, but it then stops and nothing happens. I would start by quitting the Settings app on your phone:
    iOS: Force an app to close
    Double-click the Home button.
    Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
    Swipe the app up to close it.
    When you have done that restart the device and test the issue again:
    iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
     Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

  • Airport Express (1st generation) does not reconnect to wireless network after router is cycled on/off

    Operating System: os x 10.9.1
    Airport Utility 6.3.2
    Airport Express 802.11n (1st generation)
    Linkus router: Model WRT310Nv2, Firmware Version 2.0.01
    Motorola Cable Modem: Model 2210-02, Firmware 7.7.3r5
    The Airport Express (AE) is setup to join my wireless network using Airport Utility.  A printer is connected to the AE with a USB cable.  After the setup the AE light is green and the printer can be accessed over the wireless network.
    The problem starts if the router is cycled off/on.  Now the AE will not rejoin the wireless network and there is a non-flashing amber light.  If the power to the AE is cycled off/on the AE reconnects to the wireless network.
    This is about as handy as a screen door on a submarine.
    Is it possible to see the setting of the AE the same way the modem and router settings can be accessed?   Can this issue be fixed?

    If they send you a replacement printer it will have ink tanks with it.  You can store the ink tanks from your current printer and use them later on you "new" printer if you wish.  Store them nozzle-up so they do not leak.
    Say thanks by clicking "Kudos" "thumbs up" in the post that helped you.

  • Ipad 4th gen will not upgrade from v 6.1.6 to 8, have current update on Itunes

    I have a 4th generation touch which will not upgrade. I did all the steps I could find, but have not done a reset. I have a current v of Itunes on my laptop which is on a windows operating system. I can down load apps and there is no problem in recognizing my account. I can not upgrade some of my apps because my ipad is not up on its version. Anyone know how to fix this?

    The fourth generation iPod touch can't be updated past 6.1.6; iOS 7 requires at least 512MB of RAM, and iOS 8 requires a dual-core processor.

  • IPad 2, iPhone4 will not connect to wifi network. However, my Mac desktop connects perfectly. I can't figure out why?

    Hi, I cannot get my iPad 2, iPhone4 (nor husbands HTC One) to connect to my wifi network. However, my Mac desktop connects perfectly. On the other devices I just get an error message saying that Safari cannot connect to the internet. This has been going on for a few days so I've tried all the fixes I can find on the web (restarting modem/router, forgetting netork settings, etc), but nothing seems to work. I've done all the latest updates on my devices. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks in advance.

    Hello Csmo2013,
    Since multiple devices from different manufacturers are having the same issue, I think it would be a good idea to test the mobile devices on a different network to see if they work. That way you can isolate the issue to being with the router/modem or not. I see you have already restarted the router/modem, and forgot the network settings on the devices, but allow me to offer this article for assistance.
    iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1398
    This section in particular:
    Unable to access the Internet while connected to Wi-Fi
    If you are using a public or commercial network that requires a login or subscription, see this article for more information.
    Check to see if you have a self-assigned IP address:
    Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and locate the Wi-Fi network to which you are connected. Then tap >.
    If your IP address is 169.254.xxx.xxx, see this article.
    If you do not have a self-assigned IP address, see if other Wi-Fi devices on your network have Internet access.
    If they do not, consult with your network administrator or ISP for further assistance.
    If they do, reset network settings on your device by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
    Note: This will reset all network settings including: previously connected Wi-Fi networks and passwords, recently used Bluetooth accessories, VPN and APN settings.

    Hi Guys,thanks for your replies and suggestions. I had bought the phone from my nephew as he had upgraded to an Iphone 5. It has come to light (after many days of strife, frustration, and visits to various mobile phone shops, without success). The Iphone must be unlocked from the original Itunes account IE the original owner of the phone, not the person who buys it. I hope this information will be helpful to others who find themselves in this situation in future. None of the staff at the O2 or Vodaphone shops or online support could tell me why the phone would not unlock. The message I was getting on the phone was telling me the phone could not be unlocked at this time and try again later. If problem persists contact customer services (Apple.....good luck with that one with a second hand phone over a year old).                                                                                                                                                                                      My phone has now been unlocked by my nephew after a whole load of hassle Thanks Guys.

    That has always been the case, the original owners needs to unlock the phone thru the carrier.  One of the qualifications is that you have use the carrier service.

  • Daughter Lost Iphone 5S.  It is not showing up on Icloud when logged in, and figure the battery is dead.  Any suggestions?

    Daughter Lost her Iphone 5S two days ago.  Initially thought it was misplaced at friends home however have searched endlessly without luck.  Icloud may not have been set up previously ( Im not entirely sure) however when logged in on a computer the Find my Iphone through Icloud does not show her device so assuming it was not.  Therefore cannot see it there of lock it.  Any suggestions?

    If you don't see it on the devices list in Find My iPhone, it probably wasn't enabled on her phone.  Also, the phone must be turned on with a connection to the internet in order to be located even if Find My iPhone was enabled.
    If Find My iPhone was enabled there is no way to track it.  All she can do is physically look for it or call her number to see if someone answers.
