My iPad Mini keeps saying "incorrect wifi password"
So just recently my ipad had dissconnected itself from our internet, i had attempted to re enter our regular wifi password which is about thirty numbers long, and it said incorrect, i figured sicne it was so long i mistyped something. so i typed it in another 10 or so times, no change. i later called apple which got me no where because appearently you now have to pay for phone sevices which is absouloutly ludacris. And seeing as our closest apple stores are in Detroit, or London, my parents cant just go take me whenever.
So anyways, i have googled every possible thing i can, and i still havent found any troublshooting things that work. Soft resets, and resseting network settings didnt help either. We thought it may have been our router, but yesterday i hd gotten a new phone which had no problems at all connecting to our internet, as well as my sister who had forgotten and reconected to our internet with out a problem too, i have tried updating to the latest ios but my itunes wont let me do it through the computer, and seeing as i have no wifi on my ipad i cant do it that way either.
So now im trying all i can to try and get it to update. I dont really want to restore because if i do and it doesnt fix anything, im stuck with an ipad that is basically usless because i cant download apps without wifi. And i have tried the whole turning on and off your router sequence many times and it hasnt worked.
So is there any way that i can fix this without restoring or going to apple? Restoring is my last resort.
Even though other devices can connect, it may still be worth resetting the router. Does it connect to other Wi-Fi networks?
If that doesn't work, you've done all the basic troubleshooting, so it's time for a restore.
If that doesn't work, you may have a hardware issue.

IPad mini keeps losing wifi connection
Since yesterday my iPad mini keeps losing the wifi connection, especially when playing video on YouTube. Stopping the You Tube app and starting Safari seems to restart it temporarily but only for a short while. I've tried reinstalling the YouTube app, but it then happened playing You Tube via Safari. I've reset my router and deleted all cookies, browsing history and rebooted the iPad. Even done a complete new install of the iPad after the iOS update failed (grrrr) and deleted everything but this issue was happening before the update and after the rebuild.
Any Ideas or help gratefully accepted.
Thanks

I am trying to log on to iwork but it keeps saying that my password is incorrect. I have already reset it and entered my new password and it still is not working. what should i do?
I really can't comprehend the logic that leads to believe that password for old apple id will come to e-mail for new id. Buy may be I just misunderstood something. Contact Apple for assist with password retrieval. If you can verify yourself as account owner they may be able to help you.

My apple I pad mail app will not let me send mail I can receive it but it keeps saying username or password wrong but its
Not, because I can send mail thru a Internet site.
It also has smptaol over and over as server and I cannot erase that. I do not know what to do to just make it aol.com
Any suggestions?The outgoing mail server should be smtp.aol.com. This is the correct server setting. Try using another server under Other Server. Turn the Primary Server Off and use another server under Other SMTP Servers.

I cant download hd cinema on my ipad it keeps saying cant dowload at this time and i already Tried changing the date
Hello judychang,
Thanks for contributing to the Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like an item from the iTunes Store can't be downloaded on your iPad.
Try these steps next to resume the download:
If your download was interrupted using your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
From the Home screen, tap the iTunes app.
For iPhone or iPod touch, tap More > Downloads. For iPad, tap Downloads.
Enter your account name and password if prompted.
Tap the blue download arrow to resume.
If you can't complete the download on your iOS device, you can download it in iTunes on your Mac or PC and then sync it to your iOS device. You can also transfer purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer.

My iPad mini doesnt remember my wifi network
My IPad mini doesnt remember my wifi network. When we put the router on, then we must still enter the password.
Someone a solution?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

HT201317 My iPad mini is saying that my icloud is almost full . What can I do?
My iPad mini is saying that my icloud is almost full
It could be large backups (if you back up to icloud) or a lot of emails (these count toward your max usage). One trick is to move emails (using a computer) to local mailboxes, instead of the ones that are part of icloud.
Go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backups>Manage Storage
From there you can find how much and which files are in a backup, and how much different apps use to store data files. At the bottom of the screen is the size of the mail storage. You could turn off certain things from a backup, like photos, which should be synced to a computer for safe keeping anyway. -
My iPad mini keeps freezing up is there something wrong with the iPad do I need to get it fix?
MMy iPad mini keeps freezing up on me. Is there something wrong with the iPad? It freez a lot when I'm playing the big fish casino game. What can be done to fix this?
Hello there Lsu70,
If your app is rendering the iPad unresponsive, I would recommend you use the troubleshooting in this article to help get that resolved, named:
iOS: An app you installed unexpectedly quits, stops responding, or won’t open
Start with these steps, but there are additional things to do if these do not resolve the issue:
Follow the steps below and test the app after each step.Restart the app
Close the app and open it again.Restart your device
Turn the device off and on.Update your device software and your apps
Update your device to the latest version of iOS.
Update your apps:
Open the App Store and tap Updates.
If updates are available, tap Update All.
If asked, enter your Apple ID password. The updates will download and install.
You might need a Wi-Fi connection to update some apps.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,
Sterling -

My IPad mini keeps telling me that my apple ID e-mail address is not available, but I need to verify my account. It said it already sent a verify e-mail, but I didn't get it? I can't send another e-mail and I don't understand why?
