My iPad will not forget a wifi connection when I click forget

So the subject says it all I'm staying in a hotel for work and get the free lite version of wifi but tried to download a couple movies off of iTunes and since I have a crappy slow wifi it takes forever so I'm trying to forget the network and reset it and pay for the faster wifi connection but it will not forget the wifi I have hooked up now PLEASE HELP

Hello Joulec,
I was looking into the issue you are experiencing and have come across some info that might help you out.
I recommend first, to turn off the iPad, and turn it back on.
Restart iPad
To restart iPad, first turn iPad off by pressing and holding the Sleep/Wake button until a red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider and iPad will turn off after a few moments.
Next, turn iPad on by pressing and holding the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
from here: http://www.apple.com/support/ipad/assistant/application/#section_4
Also the Network Settings may need to be reset. Our Wifi troubleshooting article named iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections found here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1398 outlines how to do that.
Reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Note: This will reset all network settings, including passwords, VPN, and APN settings.
All the best,
Sterling

  • Just bought a macbook pro 2008, will not pick up wifi connection that my old lap top has very quickly. whats wrong?

    I just bought a used macbook pro, turned it on and it will not pick up wifi connection n my house that my old lap top has done very fast and easy wifi connection. What do i have to do to log on to internet with wifi with my macbook pro?

    That could be the reason they were selling the old macBook Pro.  Does the network utility even see any WIFI networks?  If it doesn't, and you know they exist, something with the WIFI might have failed.  Can you connect using the wired ethernet port?
    You might have to take it to an Apple store or an AASP for a checkup.

  • The WiFi button is gray and will not turn on WiFi. When I push the Bluetooth on button, all I get is the spinning gear. It does not go on. What is the problem? Is there a fix?

    After trying resets and a full restore, I went to Apple Store. Genius kept me waiting 1/2 hour beyond app'tment time, then had to go through all sorts of tests before concluding the problem was what you said. They replaced the phone. Thanks.

  • After recent update to my macbook pro itunes will not open, it just bounces when I click on it

    fter recent update to my macbook pro itunes will not open, it just bounces when I click on it

    Means they are going to mess up your iPhoto Library pictures database  so it's unreadable by older versions of iPhoto on older OS X operating systems.
    You have the choice to right click on the iPhoto Lbrary and inside is a folder called Origianls, use the Finder to Duplicate this folder, then move the OriginalsCopy out of the iPhoto Library folder and save it elsewhere.
    I dont' think Apple will every intentionally touch the originals, however it's possible they could.

  • HT201263 Ipad will not accept my wifi network, after restoration. What now??

    My Ipad froze up with the announcement that the I cloud had not been backed up for 3 weeks. after frustration, I went to support and restored..Now I pad will not accept my wifi..help  I am a novice

    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.

  • HT5569 iPad will not accept my wifi password

    I had my iPad replaced today due to battery failure. The replacement iPad will not accept any of my wifi passwords at work or at home. Is there a setting that needs to be reviewed? I have rebooted both the iPad and routers at both locations, no one else is having problems with these passwords or their wifi connections.
    Any suggestions?

  • My ipad will not shut down or connect to the internet if i try and go to settings it will not open

    I tried to get on my ipad this morning and it wouldnt connect to my wifi, i then tried to go to the settings and see what is happening but it will just try and then go back to the home screen. I then tried to shut it down and am unable to.

    Try a reset:
    1. Hold the Sleep and Home button down (together)
    2. For about 10 seconds
    3. Until you see the Apple logo (very important)
    4. Ignore the red slider

  • My ipad 3 keeps dropping the wifi connection when my android tablet, android phone, and laptop have never had any issues.

    I just got a verizon ipad and am having wifi connection problems.  It will connect to my wifi but every 5 or 10 minutes it will drop the connection.  The only way to get it back is to go and manually connect to it again in the wifi settings.
    Is anyone else having this problem?  My android tablet and phone and laptop do not have this problem.

    It appears hundreds are having this problem.  You must not have done a search for this subject before posting.  Try a search for "wifi connection problem on iPad 3" and you'll get lots of information regarding this problem and a few suggestions you can try.

  • Firefox will not open my email client when I click on a "mailto" link on any website. How can I fix this.

    Anytime I drag my cursor across, or try to click on a "mailto" email link on any webpage, it will display an incorrect e-mail address (it seems to default to one in particular). It will not open a new e-mail window and if I "copy e-mail address" it's the wrong one. I've tried everything and was hoping with new updates the problem would solve itself but obviously it hasn't.
    HELP ! This is driving me CRAZY

    For the settings to check to ensure that Firefox opens your email client, see [[changing the e-mail program used by Firefox]]. I don't know why it shows the wrong email address.

  • Apple TV not connecting to iPhone / iPad at home over Xfinity wifi, connects when on my work network. Please help!

    I have a 3rd gen iPad, an iPhone 5 and 3rd gen ATV, all have been updated to latest OS. The iPhone and iPad easliy connect to the Apple TVs that we've got at work on our corporate network, but do not connect on my home network. Sometimes, if I'm lucky, they'll connect for about 5 minutes and then disappear. Really frustrating!
    I'm on Xfinity wireless at home, and the router is Arris TG852. I'm not technicaly at all when it comes to routers or home networking. Someone said that my home network might be preventing the devices from talking to each other..
    Can anyone help please? I'd apprecaite any assistance just to get it working normally! Thanks!

    Thanks deggie, I'm hoping there might be another fix. I went through there and submitted a request for a new router, this link is useful after going through a number of posts on the comcast site: http://www.comcast.com/deviceupgrade/?SCRedirect=true and I've got to wait for 4 - 6 weeks for a new one to arrive!
    What I'm confused about is why is works for a few minutes, as that proves it can work, but stops and doesn't work at all after that.

  • My ipad will not turn on, charge, connect to itunes, or restart

    Please help I've read through so many forums and all of them saying the same "hold down the home screen and top button" which wont work so I really need help. I got the ipad as a gift but havent used it for about 2 months and its been sitting on the same place on my desk ever since. I decided to start using it again and plugged it in to charge and it wont charge or connect to my itunes on my computer. I don't know what to do

    Yea I feel rather stupid it finally turned on after 30 minutes of charging... Still seems excessive to me HAHA but I guess it makes sense. Thank you anways (:

  • My iPad will not restore after an issue when synching

    I have been having problems with my iPad. I have been trying to synch it and it gave problems and now appears to lost everything on it. I have connected it to iTunes and tryed to do a rstore but about half way through it says it has detected an iPad that requires a restore and then completes but does not do the reset. How do I rest the iPad to take it back as a new device and try and start again from there ?

    Recovery mode does exactly that.  At this point, you need to contact Apple Support 800-275-2273 in the U.S.) and get help there.
