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)

    •    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

When I try to log on to Facebook, My iPad will not recognize my password, and I get an error code 190. What is it and why do I get it?

When I try to log onto Facebook, my iPad will not recognize my password, and I get an error code 190, but I can log on on my HP desktop. What is code 190, and why do I get it?

I was using the FB app that came with the iPad. What I eventually did was.
1. Held down both home key and on-off button until iPad shut down, then rebooted.
2. Uninstalled FB app.
3. Went to App Store and re-installed FB app.
The iPad had numerous problems. My son saw my plea on FB as I was accessing it through my HP computer, and he walked me through it. While he was at it, he taught me how to disconnect auto-correct. I am not certain that I want to keep that off, but everything is working the way it is supposed to the way it was in the beginning.
I am curious, though, as to what ears to the problem in the first place. After checking various sites, it seems that a code 190 has to do with windows not Apple.
But thank you for the response.

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just canceling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

HT204088 My purchases in iTunes on my iPad will not recognize my account balance in my desk top so purchases are put on my credit card. How do I use my account from my iPad?

iPad does not recognize my iTunes account balance

Thank you for your advice. I followed your directions, but came up with the same results. However, I did discover that whenever I open up the iPhoto Library that is already existing on my MacBook a certain set of pictures shows up. But then when I open up the iPhoto Library from the Hard drive another set of pictures shows up. BUT not ALL of my pictures are showing up on the iPhoto Library from the hard drive. At least the last two years of pictures are not showing up?! Actually, it appears that all the pictures are there from when I started using iPhoto about 5 years ago up until around the time that I got my iMac desktop computer and started using that (2 years ago). I have noticed that more recent videos I have made are showing up in a folder on the hard drive, but will not appear when I open up iMovie?! Any ideas on how to access my pictures from the last 2 years off of the hard drive???

How do I reset my incoming mail. I had virus on AOL account and had to change passwords. iPad will not recognize it now.

I Recently got virus on an AOL account that pushes to my ipad. I had to reset my password. I have changed the password on my iPad but it will not recognize it. I keep getting message that username or password is incorrect. I have powered off and back on several times. Any suggestions

Did you check the outgoing mail server setting? Make sure that your username and password are in there.
Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Your email account>Account>Outgoing mail server - tap the server name next to SMTP and check in the primary server and make sure your username and password are entered and correct - even if it says that the password is optional.

Why will my iPad 2 not recognize a Brother HL4570CDW printer that supports airprint capabilites? Is the problem with the printer or the iPad?

You may need to update the firmware of your printer from the Brother site.

R61 will not recognize recently added wireless card

Let me begin by giving some back ground info. I have had R61's for many years and when mine wears out I buy used models to replace my older worn out ones. I always was sure to find compatable models as to be able to always swap out the hdd with my own hdd. My latest purchase has me stumped. The hdd swapped out fine, laptop booted fine once i chnaged the compatibilty in the bios. Now coming to my issue...... I came to find out it didnt have a wireless card installed. So i took my intel 4965agn and installed it carefully and correctly, Making sure to connect the antenna wires to the correct posts. I rebooted the laptop, made sure the radio was on in the bios as well as made sure it was switched on a the front. Now for my issue, The laptop will not recognize the card. Also its not listed in the device manager/network adapters either. Any suggestions?

Welcome to the forum!
Try booting a "live" Linux CD/DVD/USB and see whether tha card is "seen" there.
Good luck.

My iPad will not print to my wireless hp office jet 6600 anymore

MY iPad will no longer print to my wireless hp office jet 6600 printer

Hi Everyone,
Don't spend too much time trying to figure this out. Apple has total control of what apple products can do. Since the upgrade to IOS my 6600 HP printer no longer is recognized by my Ipad. Just to add insult to injury my Iphone's wifi is now greyed out and I can no longer use wifi.
I didn't see this coming but think about how apple can force you to upgrade to other products by simply limiting a device's capability through an operating system upgrade.
I made an appointment with an Apple genius today and they said "Sorry this is a hardware issue (Iphone) and you will need to upgrade." Of course I will, a $700 phone or Ipad should only last a couple of years... right?
I am not upset but I will be more critical in my future purchases of Apple products.

After recent update my ipad will not recognize my laptop in other devices

After the most recent update, my ipad and iphone does not recognize my laptop in other devices. I have uninstalled and reinstalled itunes and also updated itunes and nothing seems to work. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Solved my own problem Uninstalled google chrome on both iOs devices and reinstalled and it's as good as new. Thanks for your help Ralph!

IPad will not recognize connection to charger or desktop

This afternoon I updated about 8 apps on my iPad 1. Now, when I connect it to my desktop via cable, it doesn't recognise that it's connected, nor does it show up in iTunes. Similarly, connecting the iPad directly to the charger is also not recognized (I have several chargers and cables, which I know are working, but no luck with any of them). Usually when I connect the iPad to the charger, it responds by turning itself on, and the little lightening bolt appears inside the battery icon. That no longer happens. Not does the battery charge. I tried rebooting the iPad by simultaneously holding down the power button and the home button, but that doesn't help. Prior to updating these apps, all was working fine. Anyone have a suggestion?

Thanks for the suggestion, but alas, that hasn't solved my problem. The iPad simply doesn't seem to recognize tht it is connected to a power source or to my iMac. I've tried several different chargers and cables with the same result. There is no debris in the cable port, which I've blown out with canned compressed air. I think it must be a software issue, as the problem only started after updating about 8 apps. Up until then, I was able to sync with the iMac and charge, just fine.

Replacement new ipad will not access my home wi fi when my previous i pad did and my i phone continues to, as does my laptop and desk top pcs. Any ideas as Apple support were baffled for most of yesterday afternoon trying to fix it.

My ipad had been working fine with home wi fi for 9 months before it developed a fault and was replaced by the Apple Store. However, the new ipad is unable to use the home wi fi, this seems to be linked to the fact the new ipad has the latest update added, which the old one did not. Also, my iphone has not, as yet, been updated as I have been out of the country. I know my wi fi works, as both my desktop and laptop pcs work satisfactorily, as does my iphone.

Try this:
Reboot ipad by pressing and holding both the home and sleep/wake buttons at the same time until the apple logo appears on the screen, then let go. Then try to connect to network.
Go to settings, Toggle airplane mode on/off. Make sure bluetooth is off. Turn on wif (airplane mode off). Try to connect.
Reset Network Settings
Go to settings/general/reset/reset network settings. Then try to connect to network.
If its your home router, then reboot router by unplugging for 5-10min. (do this while you're resetting network settings).
If problem persists, then check for firmware updates on your router.(you check router manufacturer support website for downloads and instructions).

Since performing the newest iOS update iPad will not recognize or load new e mail.

Any advice?

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
