My IPad original's wifi stopped working and won't connect to any hotspot. What should I do?

I have been using my IPad regularly and it would connect wifi at any hotspot including my home. Now over the last couple weeks, it will not connect to any hotspot and says it cannot find an internet connection. I have reset my wifi in the settings and updated the operating system to 4.3.5; and it still will not connect. Before I take it in to be fixed, any other suggestions?

You can start with this support article about troubleshooting WiFi on an iOS device.

Normally I would also suggest that you update your iOS to version 5 which is out now, but you may want to hold off on that and see if you can resolve the WiFi issue with the troubleshootings steps in the article first.

Since downloading iOS 8 on my iPad 2 it has stopped working and will not connect to iTunes

Since downloading iOS 8 on my iPad 2 it has stopped working and will not connect to iTunes to do a restore. I have tried to do a reset using the sleep button and home key and all I get is a white band across the screen and then it boots into the main system but it is just a series of white lines going across the screen, how can I do a restore on this?

Hey dbwithers,
Thanks for the question. I understand that you are experiencing issues with your iPad after attempting to update to iOS 8. To isolate these issues, let’s try placing your iPad in recovery mode and attempting a restore with iTunes:

WiFi randomly stopped working and won't connect, PLEASE HELP

Okay, so, I have had my 32G, 3rd generation i-pod touch since Christmas and the WiFi has worked since day 1. Today, my WiFi worked all day until about 6 o'clock. I went to google something and it said that my WiFi wasn't connected. So, I went to settings and WiFi and clicked on my router. I entered in the password and it said it was "unable to connect". I have tried this multiple times, reset network settings, turned it off and back on, and tries some more and it still won't work. Then, I went to call Apple Support, but it was too late and the stupid 90 day thing where you can only get support for 90 days after purchase wouldn't have let me ask for help anyways! So, basically, what I am asking is: does anyone have a clue how I can fix my WiFi?
Help is greatly appreciated!

HP C4280 Printer Just Stopped Working and Won't connect to Mac

One day it just stopped letting me connect to it. Snow Leopard sees the printer in the list. I click the + button and it sees the printer. I click Add and it acts like it will add it. Then it goes back to the original screen and no printer.
I downloaded HP software for it since I never did that originally. SL just used the builtin drivers. So I installed the HP driver and still nothing. I did open the HP Scan software, funny thing it actually let me scan something through that software but it won't let me print.
What is up? It's way too hard to find any help on the HP Support site. It stinks.
Please Help.
Jim

I found this post in Apple Support About the Reset Printing System feature.
This fixed my problem and now I am back to printer. Very nice!! Thank You Apple!

My iphone stopped working and won't connect to iTunes

My phone was working fine and suddenly it didn't want to switch on. I tried holding down the home/lock button but nothing worked. It didn't want to connect to iTunes either. What seems to be the problem?

Make sure it is charged, then try a reboot by holding both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears and it restarts. If this does not work, see http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3281. If that does not help visit an Apple store genius bar and have the techs test it.

My ipod just stopped working and won't charge or turn on what so ever

anyone have any ideas of whats wrong?

I have the same problem.. i dont know what to do!

My iPhone 5s bluetooth won't stop searching and won't connect to any other bluetooth device.

I've been trying to pair it with my MacBook Pro but the iPhone won't pair.
Nor will the iPhone pair with my JBL Flip.
How do I go about this issue?

If your iPod is still charging if you plug it to the adapter, let it charge for about 10min, then connect to your computer in recovery mode, explained in this article:
iOS: Unable to update or restore
If it does not charge, you'll have to get it serviced.
Apple can offer you a replacement device, but you'll have to pay for it:

If you're trying use your hotspot and connected to wifi on your iphone, does the wifi stop working and start using your data instead of staying connected to the wifi?

Thanks for the quick response. What you have said makes sense but there is no rhyme or reason to he data used. I reset my cellular data counter to zero so both sent and received read zero. I was connected to wifi and let the phone to go into sleep mode. I waited about ten minutes and sent myself the same email four times, each with a 750 kb attachment. It was sent to my .me address so it was push mail on my phone. Sure enough I checked a minute later while bringing the phone out of sleep mode and checked the data. It showed just 10kb sent but 1mb received which just doesn't tally with the 4 x 750kb mails received. It just isn't making sense.
He knows what you asked and has already answered it!
I thought I had read where the iOS4 (or maybe just the iPhone 4) was supposed to be able to keep wifi connections alive while inactive. If the phone is sitting there on a charger with a wifi connection available, why use the 3G?

Try this - Reset 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. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

My iPhone shut off and won't turn back on. What should I do?

My iphone shut off and won't turn back on. What should I do?

sometimes if the battery drains completely you will need to leave it plugged into a charger for 10-15 minutes before you get any activity at all. this is normal

My Ipad stopped working and won't turn back on.

My ipad stopped working suddenly and won't turn back on. What can I do to turn it back on?

Assuming that the battery isn't empty (and it can take up to 15 minutes of charging before it will respond), then have you tried a soft-reset to see if that gets it to boot up ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds, after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Wifi was working, and now does not discover any networks

I had wifi working, and now it does recognize any of the 6 networks that everything else discovers, any sugestions?
I read all related posts, did the software update to latest version, restarted several times, and did wifi reset. Actually my statmenet above is not entirely true. It does discover the network and connects when I place the device on top of a router, but moving to 50cm away from it and the connection disconnects and there are no networks discovered. I have tried it with 2 different routers, both of them are working well with my blackberry and laptop - and this was also working with the ipad before.

Try a reset. Press & hold the Power and Home buttons together for 10+ seconds, ignoring the red power-off slider, until you see the Apple logo.
If this does not work, then restore the iPad to its factory settings and start again.
