My iPad Mini with retina display suddenly will not connect to the Internet. It shows full wifi bars, yet no web pages will load. My Internet is working with all other apple devices in my house. The iPad also no longer works with celluar data. I'm not sure what has happened. It was working fine a few hours ago. I have tried resetting it, ive restarted my browser etc. I tried to erase all data from my Ipad but I can't do that because it needs to sign into my Apple ID and use the Internet!

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.

  • My AppleTV says my iTunes password is incorrect, but it works on all other Apple devices. Help?

    My AppleTV says my iTunes password is incorrect, but it is correct when logging in via my Macbook, iPad and iPhone.  Do I need to reset it entirely in order for it to work on all 3 devices?  This happened randomly without me logging out and back in, and I've already tried restarting the AppleTV.  I really dont want to have to create another new password.

    Change your router channel number.  Most times this works & is all you have to do.

  • I have a I Pad, which I down loaded IOS 7. I have a HP Photo smart D7460, which works within my wifi internet system. Works with all other Apple devices. How can I join the IPad?

    iPad trouble with printing on hp D7460. All other apple devices work with it wifi.

    There's a list of printers that support AirPrint, the native mechanism for printing from iOS, here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4356
    If your printer doesn't support AirPrint, HP has app that enables printing to some of their other wireless printers. Third-party printing apps such as PrintCentral are also available. All such apps have limitations, so check them out thoroughly before you pay for any such app.
    You can also route the printing through your computer. If you have a Mac, Printopia would be worth a look. Fingerprint is another option that is available for both Mac OS X and Windows system. You could also consider an AirPrint-capable print server. Lantronix makes a couple of models, including one that supports a USB printer:

  • Wifi does not work correctly on iPad Mini w/ Retina display

    I've found that Wifi does not work properly on the iPad mini w/ Retina display.
    Some background: I own three iPads (iPad mini w/ retina display, iPad mini, and iPad 3rd gen), an iPod touch 5th gen, and a Macbook Air, and use them all frequently with my pocket Wifi router.
    None of them exhibit any Wifi problems whatsoever except for my iPad mini w/ retina display.
    Here are the details:
    In the middle of using Wifi with my pocket Wifi router, the Wifi connection will abrubptly drop, then reconnect. After the Wifi reconnects, it is no longer able to connect to the internet (even though Wifi itself is connected).
    Once the iPad mini w/ retina display's Wifi gets into this state, the following may or may not restore WiFi temporarily:
    Restart the device
    Reset network settings
    Yet, even if connectevitiy is restored, the problem will happen again within minutes.
    When the iPad mini w/ retina display gets into this state, the Wifi on my iPod touch, other iPads, and on my Macbook Air work perfectly fine, so I know the problem is not with my Wifi device or it's connection, but specifically with the iPad mini w/ retina display
    Note:
    The iPad mini w/ retina display never has any issues with my home or work Wifi networks. The problem only happens when connected to my pocket Wifi device. Yet, all of my other iOS devices and my MacBook Air work perfectly with my pocket Wifi device, therefore I know the problem is not with the pocket Wifi device, but with the iPad mini with retina display.
    Solutions:
    Resetting the iPad mini w/ retina display to factory settings does not solve the problem
    Resetting network settings on the iPad mini w/ retina display does not solve the problem
    I have even replaced my original iPad mini w/ retina and got a new one. Yet, the new device exhibits the exact same behavior as the original device.
    Conclusion:
    I know this is not a hardware problem (since it happened with both my original as well as replacement device).
    I know this is not a problem with my pocket WiFi router, since it works perfectly with all of my other iOS devices and MacBook Air.
    Therefore, this must be a software / firmware bug with the iPad mini w/ retina display. Apple will need to fix this in a future software update.
    Has anyone else seen this problem?

    I too have experienced this issue over the past two days... I have a 16gb ipad mini retina, for reference. I bought the device one week ago, and had not experience any issues at all until bringing my device to work. I logged into my work's enterprise level wireless network both yesterday and today, maintained normal wifi capabilities for 2-4 hours each day, and was then randomly dropped, both days. I tried hard resets, resetting my network settings, airplane mode, etc. Nothing has worked. I am still offline on my ipad mini retina.
    My iPhone 5 is sitting right next to my iPad mini retina. The iPhone is currently connected to the same very network, and has been for the past two years. I have never lost connection on my iPhone's wifi, just my iPad mini retina.
    This must be some kind of bug, as it does not sound like a hardware nor network issue.
    Hopefully they fix this in 7.1.

  • Ipad Mini w/Retina Display - Question -

    Recently purchased the new iPad Mini w/Retina Display for teaching/education purposes. I want to use it with a ViewSonic VGA Projector to make use of my purchased iTunes content. (please note not yelling here, just trying to highlight my question) WHAT CONNECTOR DO I USE TO VIEW ITUNES PURCHASED CONTENT VIA A VGA PROJECTOR??? - I know everyone is disgusted with many of the Apple connectors that they offer which does the trick for displaying YouTube or NetFlix content or KeyNote Presentation info, but I need to view my legally purchased iTunes HD content - The error message that I get is as follows - "The Connected Display is NOT authorized to play protected movies" - yet, I purchased these movies? so what is up with that? I want to know what connector I can buy that gets around this issue. Thank you.
    AND if there isn't a connector available then how to I get around it, because there is always a way... Thank you.

    A mini-education:
    GPS signals are separate from and completely unrelated to both the Internet and the cellular telephone network.  GPS signals come directly from the GPS satellites.  They provide signals that allow GPS receivers to calculate latitude and longitude information.  Map software then takes that latitude/longitude info and converts it to land mass, roads, bridges, highways, buildings, etc.  Navigation software is "map software on steroids."  It goes one step further in that it provides real-time directions to enable you to reach a desired destination.
    Most navigation software stores the maps right in the iPad/iPod/iPhone but a disadvantage is that the maps must be periodically updated (perhaps once/year).  The Internet is not required to use the system but it is required to update the maps.
    Some navigation software gets the maps from the Internet and requires an Internet connection to function but an advantage is that the maps are always up-to-date.
    The WiFi+3G/4G iPad and the iPhone both have a GPS receiver.  The WiFi-only iPad and the iPod do not and these devices require an accessory.

  • IPad Mini 2 (Retina display) Not Out Yet??  Are ya kiddin me...

    Are ya kidding me iPad Mini 2 (Retina display) is not out yet???  I thought they are released the dame day as the iPad Air no?

  • Does the newest macbook pro with retina display have an ethernet connection port?

    I am looking at getting a computer for college and am trying to decide between the newest version of the macbook pro and the one with the cd/dvd drive in it and the way i get internet connection in my dorm room is going to be by an ethernet cable so i am trying to cover everything. Thanks for all of the help!

    does the newest macbook pro with retina display have an ethernet connection port?
    No.
    -> http://www.apple.com/macbook-pro/specs-retina/
    But you can get a Thunderbolt to Ethernet connector.

    i can no longer shoot directly into phaseone software - neihter version 6 or 7 - since i use my new macbook pro with retina display. pictures are not transfered from the camera into captureone. anyone else with this problem? any solutions?

    My eyes just glazed over...Please in the future break down each of your issues with paragraphs separated by two carriage returns. It would be much easier when trying to address your issues.
    Go to Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Keyboard and Mouse -> Mouse
    And edit your mouse settings to do what you want it to do.
    Secondly, this is not the place to vent. If you have a complaint, there is:
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/
    or http://www.apple.com/contact/
    We are just end users here helping other end users.
    Third, from my understanding, it would appear you are concerned about the noise the hard drive makes when it falls asleep? Why not put your machine in screen saver mode instead? Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Energy Saver turn off all Energy Saver settings, or set them to run Never.
    Fourth, if your machine was purchased just a few days ago, you may still be able to get an exchange from the store, quicker than you can get a repair done. You may want to look into that possibility.
    Fifth, it does appear you found the Logic forum. I would persist in asking there how to solve your technical issue with Logic regarding the audio. It may be you don't have to do anything special to the hard drive. Remember audio can be transmitted by wire, avoiding ambient sounds.
    Good luck!

  • Two of our ipod touches won't connect to the home wifi.  They have done before. All other apple devices connect fine.  They can see the wifi devices, appear to try to connect (the circle whirls around) but connection doesn't complete.  Ideas?

    Two of our ipod touches won't connect to the home wifi.  They have done before. All other apple devices connect fine.  They can see the wifi devices, appear to try to connect (the circle whirls around) but connection doesn't complete.  Ideas please?

    I have 2 of them that only connected for a day and then reset network settings and they connected again for a day now resetting network settings does not fix it either. My iphone used to work with my home network but after upgrading to the latest OS which is the same versions as the ipods it no longer works either. Acts the same as the ipods. It would seem that the latest tweeks to the OS is the problem with wifi connectivity.

  • HT204053 When I initially try to sign in to iCloud, I get the "Account not verified" screen and I am told to check my email for instructions to verify.  No email is ever sent. My ID and password work on all other Apple app's.  Why not for iCloud?

    When I initially try to sign in to iCloud, I get the "Account not verified" screen and I am told to check my email for instructions to verify.  No email is ever sent. My ID and password work on all other Apple app's.  Why not for iCloud?

    I've tried both. First, I tried on my pc, where iTunes had installed iCloud when it last updated. I have iTunes installed on this computer (and on my iPad and iPhone), but that wasn't the issue.
    So I went online, thinking I needed a separate iCloud Apple ID, but it prompted me for my current Apple ID and gave me the message about my ID being "valid" but not an iCloud account," which, lol, was what it had asked me to do in order to create one. I checked, and at least one other user is having the same issue. I'll attempt to copy/paste the Support request url: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4430653?tstart=0

  • When will iPad Mini w/ Retina Display get the full phone capabilities?

    I had hoped Apple would have been ahead of the curve and add those capabilities. Are you that worried about protecting the IPhone that you allow yourself to fall behind Samsung and others? I have been a strong believer in and supporter of Apple products. In many areas I'm thrilled at your leadership, not with iPad Mini with Retina Display. It is the perfect device to marry phone and ipad (tablet) capabilities.

    This is a user to user forum. You are not addressing Apple here.
    If you wish to offer suggestions to Apple use the Feedback link. 
    Personally I don't see the practicality of a 8 inch phone. How many peple do you see actually using an 8 inch tablet as their primary phone?  Is there really a market there?

  • Is an iPad mini with retina display the complete same size as an iPad mini without retina display?

    I'm trying to find a good sleeve for my new Ipad mini (with retina display), but keep coming across two options.
    1) Sleeve for iPad mini with retina display
    2) Sleeve for iPad mini
    Is there a difference in size? I'm mainly asking as I've found one I would like, but it doesn't mention the retina display..
    Hope someone out there has an answer to my question.
    Thanks,
    Kat

    There is a .3mm difference in depth.

  • Can I use the same adapter for my ipad mini w/ retina display as I use for my iphone 4S?

    I have an iPad mini with retina display and an iPhone 4S.  Have both the small and large adapters (5W and 12W I believe) that came with the two products.  I am traveling abroad and want to know if I can just use the smaller adapter (little cube-shaped one, 5W) for both the ipad and the iphone.  OR, can I forgo taking the Apple adapters that were supplied, and instead use one of the travel adapters that has two 2.1-Amp USB ports?

    You can use the 5W to charge the iPhone, but if it charges the iPad Mini Retina, it will be slow, so you would have to turn it off and let it sit forever to get charged.  If you were going to take just one, take the 12 W on as you can use it to charge both devices without issue.
    I would recommend getting the Apple travel adapters if you are going abroad.  The 12W adapter should have a duck head you can pop off and put the international adaptation on there. http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB974ZM/B/apple-world-travel-adapter-kit

  • Can the heat generated within the iPad mini w/ Retina Display damage the iPad?

    My iPad mini with retina display gets hot while charging or multitasking or using it for 5-6 continuous hours. It has a TPU material cover on it and sometimes the heat can be felt on the cover. So, if it keeps on heating like this is there a possibility of damaging my iPad? And also can you please tell me the maximum no. Of continuous hours I can use my iPad. Can 5-6 hours of continuous playback damage the. iPad ?

    The ipad has heat sensors in it.
    If the iPad reaches a certain temp, it will shut down to avoid damage.
