My ipad drops wifi any suggestions?
My ipad drops my wireless connection, this does not happen to other I devices in the house including other ipads.
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.

If any of the above solutions work, please post back what solved your problem. It will help others with the same problem.

My iPad mb292ll version 5.0.1 will not AirPrint to my HP 8500a office jet , but my wife's same generation iPad will. Any suggestions?
RLBAUER-
1. It is possible you have a print job stuck in the print queue. Double-click the Home button, and a row of recent Apps will line up along the bottom of the screen. Scroll across and look for the Print Center. If you find it, you should be able to clear it.
2. A bit more far-fetched, but I wonder if your iPad might have jumped to a neighbor's WiFi? I have had this happen when the neighbor's WiFi SSID was the same as mine. It showed up when I tried to print. There are a LOT of WiFis out there named Linksys!

Then they should sync over the iCloud

My pictures get shuffled into wrong events when syncing to iPad mini. Any suggestions?
Photos are sorted by date modified when you sync from iTunes. If you have them arranged out of date sequence, they will not sync that way onto the iPad. You can read more here.

After updating to Maverick on my Mac - unable to open numbers or pages docs on iPad or iPhone any suggestions or info?
I Just found it on the apple site, it arrived on a cd a few days later and worked just fine again.
i would recommend backing everything up just in case. Better safe than sorry, trust me. I've lost so much when i didnt back up once when re-installing the system.
IT shoulldnt erase everything, bt it might, so back up just in case
should you loose everything, then i have some tips on moving stuff fromyour iphone/ipod to the computer -
The APP application on my iPad does not function properly - any downloads requested immediately fail and send me back tot he main iPad screen. Any suggestions on to hoe to fix this? The software has been updated to iOS 5.1.1, and no furthe updates are available.
This is my boilerplate response when app downloads are stalled or in the "waiting" mode. There are a bunch of things here to try.
Tap on the "installing" icon and see if you can pause the install, then tap on it again in order to resume the install.
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 - let go of the buttons.
Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download and install at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. 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.
Go back to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Sign in and see if the install resumes.
If all else fails, download the updates or the apps in iTunes on your computer and then sync the content to your iPad. -

After ios5 upgrade can no longer increase font size on iPad or iPhone, any suggestions apart from getting a new pair of glasses! Also, the backlight on the iPad isn't as bright as before the upgrade, any ideas?
Hi Zak, thanks for the reply.
The filename is whatever is set to be the background fill of the site (I presume the desktop background fill, if mobile versions are set to be different). I've tried a number of different files, sizes and types/formats and the result is still the same, so as far as I can tell it's not the file itself causing the issue...
It uploads all pages (desktop, tablet and phone versions), .css files and .html files, and even the favicon .ico file but then hangs on the first image file, which incidentally is the background fill image.
The total number of files is said to be 154. It gets stuck on file number 24.
Yes the "Resume" dialog appears and upon clicking it just attempts to continue from the hang at the first image file (apparently 66% of the way through).
Re: the "BC site has changed" part - I thought as much but figured worth reporting.
... Incidentally, as I've written this reply, I left the "Resume" dialog open (ie neither clicking "resume" or "cancel" and just as I've finished typing it appears to have published the site successfully?!! (I must've left it for roughly 5 minutes)
Bizarre behaviour... I'm not sure if this will repeat itself with other sites but I'm sure there's a bug here that needs looking at regardless...?!

TS3274 Having trouble transfer photos from iphoto to ipad mini. Any suggestions?
Having trouble transfer photos from iphoto to ipad mini. Any suggestions?
What problems are you having ? You should be able to sync photos by connecting and selecting your iPad on the left-hand side of your computer's iTunes, and on the right-hand side there should be a series of tabs, one of which should be Photos - if you select that tab you can then select which photo folders (or iPhoto albums/events) to sync to the iPad. There is a bit more info on this page. You will need to sync all the photos that you want on the iPad together in one go as only the most recent photo sync remains on the iPad - synced photos can't be deleted directly on the iPad, instead they are deleted by not including them in the next photo sync.

My daughter wants something to scan photos and negatives to her ipad...any suggestions
Any suggestions on what to get for scanning photos and negative to an ipad? Thanks!
Search the App store - there are dozens of scanning apps available for free or fee. But read the description carefully or visit the developer's site as some may not be great for photo's, and especially for negatives (many seem optimized for scanning paper images or documents).
P.S. you might want to experiment with searches in the App store - using "film scanner" brings up different apps than just using "scanner" does - there do seem to be at least some apps specifically intended for scanning films and negatives. -

Trying to get my contact list from Outlook Express to fly over to my new iPAD. Will appreciate any suggestions.
Outlook Express accesses an address book app called Windoze Contacts for contact info, which the iPad supports syncing contacts with. This is selected under the Info tab for your iPad sync preferences with iTunes.
