Network problems with (only) ipad 2

I have some problems with the wifi-connectivity with my ipad 2. The wifi-connection is not stable. This is not that bad, but when i'm using my apple tv device to listen music, the connection will be disconnected within (most of the time) 10 minutes. I have also an Ipad 1 and an iphone 4s. I don't have any problems with these devices. So what can be wrong with my ipad 2 and the configuration? Does anybody have the same problem? what is the solution for this problem? my router is a sitecom wl-160, does this matter.

Have you tried basic troubleshooting steps like rebooting your iPad?
To reboot your iPad, hold down the sleep/wake button and the home button simultaneously until the screen goes black and the Apple logo appears. If, during this process, a slider appears on the screen to power it off, ignore it and keep holding the buttons down.
Rebooting your iPad can solve a lot of problems. If the problem remains, try to reset your network settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings. Note that this will erase any stored wifi password and you'll have to enter them again.
If you haven't tried these things yet, please do so and report back.

  • Wifi problems with new ipad

    I'm trying to learn how to correct wifi problems with new iPad.  It is the wifi only, 64GB model.  I want to be able to use it at work, where we have a great wifi network.  I can usually connect to our network with no problem, but after an hour or so my iPad loses the network.  When I try to reconnect, I see that the network is showing full strength reception, but I get the error message from the iPad that I am "Unable to join" the network.  My iPhone connects to the same network seamlessly, as do all of the other iPhones of my co-workers and the older generation iPads that some of our staff has.
    At other locations, I typically have no problems (home, apple store, etc.) but I have had the same situation pop up at a coffee shop where I could see that there was a wifi network available, but I could not join it even though it was the shop's free wifi. 
    I have tried turning the iPad off, turning off wifi and turning it back on again, and forgetting the wifi network in question.  I can't think of any other methods that are available to an end user to correct the problem. 
    I have already gone to the Apple store to swap out the unit, and the newer one is having the same symptoms. 
    Can anyone offer any advice here?  This is quite frustrating.

    No problem! Have a read at this most interesting article which has special significance as regards your models!

  • Problems with my iPad Air

    I am having so many problems with my iPad Air that I got for Christmas. It is not jailbroken. Sometimes it doesn't work. The internet keeps going out all the time but it's not with my network because I got my network checked out and it was perfectly fine. Safari never works even when I am connected to the internet. All of the apps keep crashing. On the app store it doesn't let me download anything. I still have about 15 gigabytes left on my iPad Air. It doesn't let me sent or recieve messages. On the mail app it doesn't let me check my email because it just says I'm not connected to the internet even though I have all 3 bars. It is so slow. When I am on any app that acually works then it takes about 10 minutes just to load one thing. I think there is an internal problem with it or it might just need to be restored. I never dropped it and I always keep it protected so I don't know what is going on.

    The wifi icon only indicates he presence of a wifi signal, not that you are connected.
    First do 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
    iPad running slow? How to speed up a slow iPad
    http://appletoolbox.com/2012/07/ipad-running-slow-how-to-speed-up-a-slow-ipad/
    If You Think iOS 7 Feels Slow Here’s How to Speed It Up
    http://osxdaily.com/2013/09/23/ios-7-slow-speed-it-up/
    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.
    Some things to try first for internet/wifi connection:
    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.

  • I have a problem with my iPad, the "other" part of the capacity summary keeps growing like ****

    Dear all: I have a problem with my iPad, the "other" part of the capacity summary keeps growing like ****, every time I sync the iPad gets bigger and bigger. What is this "other" and what do I do to keep it from getting bigger? Thanks to all!

    Marcos,
    I did not try your trick, didn't see your post until after i visited the Apple store.  The tech at the genius bar did not know why my "Other" memory had grown so huge.  It was over 24GB, which only left me with 1 GB free on my 32GB iPad.   I had been loading and unloading video's yesterday thru itunes to try various compression settings.  I did not notice the other categrory growing until I tried to load a 3 GB movie file and it told me I was out of memory.
    I probably loaded and unloaded 30 different times, trying different compression settings.  In the process of doing this, it apparently loaded up the "Other: stuff.  To me it seems like recycle bin in windows, but no one knows how to free it up. 
    So here is what he did and it worked.  He reset the iPad.  Press and hold both the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.  Then he hooked it up to itunes on his computer.  Fortunately I have everything backed up on my home computer.  When my iPad showed up on iTunes at the store, it showed the 24 MB of "Other" momentarily, then it reduced to about .7 GB giving me 24.5 GB free.  Resetting it seemed to do the trick, but he still could tell me how this is happening and how to prevent it. 
    I think I'll try to call someone at applecare to get an explanation, hopefully.

  • I have a problem with mi iPad 3 and iCloud.

    I have a problem with my iPad 3 and iCloud.
    First. When i try to turn on the automatico downloads of apps and music on my ipad ican't. I put on the buttons but they automaticly turn into off.
    Second. I have an macbook with iWork and mi iPad has iWork too but i can use iCloud because the documents that i create in the iPad doen't go online.
    I did a little research and i think the troubles are because apple didn't associate mi ipad with my apple id, i had retored mi ipad a lot of times and it doen's fix the problem.
    What do i can do?
    I'm sorry but i'm learning english, so i'm sorry if you have a hard time trying to understand.
    Thank you

    Hi Omar1510,
    If resetting your iPad allows it to charge, but only temporarily, you may want to make sure that you have your data backed up and try restoring the device (you may want to test the charging before reloading your data). You may find the following article helpful:

    I'm having some problems with my ipad and charging it. I am having to leave it in charge for a lot longer, but when I take it out and want to use it the battery is still not completely full and goes down a lot faster than usual. The other day, I had charged  my iPad overnight so that I could take it to university with me for the day, and when I had switched it on the next day the battery was on 5% and I had not used it since charge.

    Your battery may be dying. THey are only good for so many charges/discharges. If you have an apple store near by make an appointment and have them check itout

    We are fellow users here on these user-to-user forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support nor Apple.
    Have you tried closing all apps via the iPad's multitasking bar and then doing a soft-reset and seeing that helps ? To close all apps :
    iOS 7: double-click the home button to open the taskbar, and then swipe or drag each app's screen from there up and off the top of the screen to close it, and click the home button to close the taskbar.
    iOS 6 and below : from the home screen (i.e. not with any app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of each app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    Soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
