My iPad2 quit connecting to wireless network. Won't turn on, won't search for networks, no connection

A couple of days ago, my 1 month old iPad2 quit searching for wireless networks, won't recognize my home network, and the wi-fi connection won't stay on. I can switch it on, but it doesn't do anything (won't search for wifi) and as soon as I move away from that window, it switches back to "OFF". Anyone have a fix for that, or is it a problem that can only be resolved with returning the product for repair or replacement?

If no change after resetting network settings on your iPad and/or after restoring your iPad with iTunes as a new iPad or not from the iPad's backup, your iPad has a hardware problem.

Take it back and have it replaced.

Won't search for wireless networks

My iPhone 4S (iOS 5.1.1) won't search for wireless networks. At all. It's irritating because I can't backup or sync without being on a wireless network.
If I go to Settings > Wi-Fi, I show that it's on but the wheel just spins and spins on "Choose a Network" but none show up, even though I know there are at least 5 in my immediate area.
I've tried turning off the Wi-Fi, then on again.
I've tried resetting the Network Settings.
I've tried turning the phone off then on again.
So far, nothing has worked.
Any suggestions?

OK, I see you indicated that you turned the phone off and back on again, but did you do a soft reset? Hold down the Home button and the Sleep button at the same time and hold them down until you see the silver Apple (ignore the red slider if it appears). This will restart your iPhone but you won't lose any settings or anything.
Cheers,

Why is my iPhone4 so much slower than my iPad2 on my home wireless network?

I have installed a new Linksys 3200 wireless router. And, I find that my iPhone4 is MUCH slower on the wi-fi network than my iPad2. I expected it to me slower, but not this much! Here are the speedtest results:
iPhone4 - Ping at 399 ms, Download speed at .73 Mbps, Upload speed at 1.00 Mbps
iPad2 - Ping at 84 ms, Download at 5.63 Mbps, Upload at .91 Mbps
My cable modem is supposed to be rated at 5/1 (Download/Upload), so it seems that the iPad is maximizing the use.
I've tried a complete shutdown and restart (modem first, then router, then computer). And, it seems a little faster, but not much.
Is there something wrong with the iPhone? I don't remember it being so slow before...and it seems faster on my office network!
Suggestions, please.
Robert

P.S. It also seems to lose the connection from my iPhone4 pretty easily. I have to go back to settings and reset the wireless network. (Don't have to on the iPad).

My wireless keyboard won't work for one of the users

All of a sudden the wireless keyboard stopped working for me, but it works when my wife logs in. I had to create a new account for myself and the keyboard now works. However, the keyboard won't work for my original account. Any thoughts?

Does it shows up as a device in your BT menu under the problematic user? Does it connect? If you delete it from your admin account and re-pair it, does it work?
There is a command called ioreg, which can help as well.
Here is sample output from ioreg -lw0 | grep -i keyboard

IMac won't search for trackpad and keyboard after restart

I've recently experienced problems using the trackpad and keyboard to wake up my iMac. Twice in the last 2 months we have been unable to wake the mac, so we would use the power button to restart it, and when it came back on again the keyboard and trackpad would be fine.
However, the same thing happened yesterday and when we restarted the mac it refused to search for the bluetooth trackpad and keyboard. normally if we have an issue we'd get the "connection lost" then "connected' message, but none of that is happening. Both devices are on, and the batteries are fine. I've tried using a usb mouse but there's no response with that either. We're stuck on the log in screen

The classic turn off and on (disconnect power cable etc)? Just gave that a try, didn't work I'm afraid. Thanks for your reply though Barry.

Itunes won't search for available downloads?

I have a game on my ipad that I can't update directly from the ipad since I don't have the space. I tried and it tells me to log onto my computer and it will be avialable for download but when I go on my computer and check for available updates I get nothing. It'll search but it won't recognize any app that needs to be updated. I also have another app that's got an update availalble for it and that one doesn't come up either.
Anyone have any idea how to solve this problem?

bumping it up. Anyone have any ideas what might cause this and how to get it fixed?

Ihpone 4 won't search for songs in library

not sure if this topic already exists, but i didn't find it if it does.
the problem is, i formatted my computer and backed everything up, reinstalled itunes, and all my songs are now re-synced to the phone (iphone 4). i also upgraded to ios 6 just last night. however, now some songs are not searchable with the built in search function. i can find them manually, but i'd prefer to have the old functionality i had with ios 5. other songs are searchable, so there doesn't seem to be a rhyme or reason to which ones are searchable.
any insight would be super awesome.
thanks!
--plummyness

strong view to response ratio.
appreciate it.

Spotlight is not indexing my hard drive? Mail won't search for anything.

Ok, So I tried the command prompt: "sudo mdutil -E /" and it just tells me that indexing is disabled. I've tried everything I can think of. Any ideas? I can't find a way for spotlight to re-index my hard drive. Also, when I search for anything in mail, nothing will come up. And I have it set to search for everything. Any ideas with that? Help with either problem would be appreciated! thanks.

Why won't Adobe X search for hyphens?

I'm using Adobe X with Windows 7 to proof fiction for a publishing firm. I would like to be able to search for words at the end of the lines where there is a word break but Adobe X will not let me search for those.
For example, I found in the text I'm reading the word animals and it is at the end of the line and is broken out like this:
ani-
mals.
I would like to search for ani- and see if there are more occurances like this so I can make sure I catch all broken out words to see if they are done correctly, but if I search for that hypen, it won't bring up this example in the results (or any other words at the end of lines that are broken). If I copy and paste ani- into the search box it won't paste the hypen at the end.
Now, If I manually type in the hypen it won't search for the right kind of hyphen. It always leaves out in the results the ones I need to look at the most, which are broken words with hypens at the end of the lines.
Is this some sort of "special character" that I'm searching for? If so, how do I search for it? Any suggestions would be most appreciated!

Hi. As a workaround you can enable "Always use native photo browsers" in the PS Touch settings. It's listed under "Preferences" -> "Access Local Photos setting". See attached screenshot

Many Problems: System won't search, things taking very long time...

My G5 is having lot's of problems and I'm dreading having to reinstall the OS.
Problems:
The system won't search for files, either in the finder or in applications
The finder seems to get jammed up for long periods of time (I mean, like I can let it go for an hour and still be jammed.)
Applications like Motion run very, very sluggishly. I know that Motion is a monster program when it comes to Ram, but it's gotten worse over time.
Encoding in Motion seems to take a lot longer than it should. I've got a lot of experience encoding, so I know which files should take a long time and which shouldn't, there seems to be some problem.
I have run Tech Tool Pro (latest version) and the monthly disc utility stuff (repair disc permissions)
Anyone have any ideas that could help me? (I'll be sure and give helpful and solved points).
Thanks!
Alex

Hi, Alexander.
1. As a general check, run the Procedure specified in my "Resolving Disk, Permission, and Cache Corruption" FAQ. Perform the steps therein in the order specified.
2. See my "Tuning Mac OS X Performance" FAQ for a variety of troubleshooting and optimizing tips regarding Mac OS X performance. In particular, see the "Troubleshooting performance problems" section therein
3. re: Search. See my "Spotlight tips" FAQ. You may want to rebuild the Spotlight indices for your startup disk (I assume the search issue is in searching your startup disk). I presume by Finder being "jammed up" you're referring to Finder during search. See also "After installing Mac OS X 10.4, the computer may seem slow and the fans may run more."
After you install Tiger, Spotlight begins indexing your hard drive. If there is a white dot pulsing in the center of the magnifying glass of the Spotlight icon, it is indexing. Clicking the Spotlight icon while indexing should tell you the status and provide an estimate of how long it will take before indexing completes. It's best not to do other work during the initial indexing.
If you've been running Tiger for some time, but the Spotlight icon shows it is indexing, then something may be amiss with your current index or your drive. Indexing is very resource-intensive.
More details on "jammed up" would help.
4. See my "Problems from insufficient RAM and free hard disk space" FAQ. If your hard drive is getting full, then, despite having 4GB of RAM, the system could be thrashing. This is discussed in the FAQ.
5. See my "Troubleshooting Startup and Login Items" FAQ for steps that might help you with this problem.
6. re: Maintenance. Repair Permissions isn't maintenance. See my "Maintaining Mac OS X" FAQ. It covers my advice on "regular maintenance" and dispels some common "maintenance myths."
Good luck!

Hp C4580 printer won't connect to wireless network, but see network is available.

I've sat through quite a few of the threads here with regard to photsmart C4580 printer not connecting to wireless network.
My issues started with a cartridge issue, which I resolved with a new cartridge, but only after trying out different solution offered on HP forum.
Now printer won't connect to my network which it has been connected to for over 2 years with no issues. The wireless network is working perfectly fine and I even printed out a HP photosmart C4500 series connectivity status and in this report printer can see the network I need to connect to.
I've tried downloading various programs from Scan doctor to complete install of all HP programs and even tried installing printer from Windows 7 "add a printer", but none can see this printer.
lastly I was hoping trying to locate IP address for printer which looks like it may help, but report says IP Address "not applicable".
I believe printer, wireless network and PC are working correctly, this there a way to switch printer to online so it can be seen.
Help would be great.

G4 (MDD) with AirPort Can't See/Won't Connect to Wireless Networks

Hi all. I've seen topics/threads that get close to my question/problem, but not quite.
I inherited a PowerMac G4 (MDD)/Dual 1 GHz/1.5 GB DDR SDRAM/running 10.3.9.
I purchased a used original AirPort card from eBay, opened up the machine, and plugged it in. When I went to update the software (from a CD), my machine told me that it was up to date (though one HD is running OS9 and one running OSX -- so the software wouldn't install because the HD running OSX said it was up-to-date and the HD running 9 said it was impossible). The machine recognizes the card/shows it gray in the toolbar/says it has Firmware Version 8.70 in the System Profile.
My problem is that the AirPort can't see any wireless networks 99% of the time, even though 3 (including mine) are in range all the time. I've seen my network only flicker into possibility a few times, and even though I've disabled all security measures on the wireless router (Linksys Wireless-G, Model WRT54G), it simply won't connect. One time in 3 hours it momentarily looked like it was going to connect, then said "out of range," then disappeared completely. It has seen 0 wireless networks for the past hour.
I've read everything far and wide trying to solve this issue and am totally stuck. At first I thought I needed an antenna for the AirPort, but this is an internal card, so that doesn't seem right. I know the AirPort card (and not Extreme) is right because a) I don't have a FW800 port and b) the machine recognizes this card. Finally, I thought it may have had to do with the WPA security on the Linksys, but even with security disabled...nothing.
I'm feeling very frustrated. Any advice?
Thank you very much.

Thanks, Tom. I did as you suggested, and the Max Signal under the Log is showing a red 12, which is terrible, yes? What, exactly, does this tell me? That this is simply a case of old technology (AirPort b) struggling to communicate with new technology (Linksys g) over a medium distance (Linksys is in next room, through wall)? If plugging straight into the ethernet were an option, I'd just do it. But I can't get my G4 onto the Internet without running cords down the hallway and through my TV room, which is an obvious eyesore.
Is there a chance this AirPort card is only partly functional and I should return it? Or do I need to accept the fact that this G4 needs to either be moved closer to the Linksys router or be plugged in directly?
Thank you.
