No wifi connection on new iPad 4th gen

Help please ive just bought the ipad 4th gen and it wont connect to any wifi networks, im unable to complete the setup because of this. Ive tried different networks and still nothing.I have also tried reseting it but nothing same thing keeps happening, is this common with the new ipads because i have the first one and have never had any trouble connecting to wifi

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

HT4060 what is the charging time of new iPad 4th gen??

Hi have bought a new iPad 4th Generation. it takes more than 3 hrs to full charge even when i use its 10W adapter supplied with box. How much time exactly iPad takes to full charge??

That's a lot faster than most users report. Usually overnight.
The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W or 12W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night. Also look at The iPad's charging challenge explained http://www.macworld.com/article/1150356/ipadcharging.html

TS4062 Home Mac running iOS 10.5.8. I can not sync new iPad 4th gen. I'm told I need iTunes 10.7,but I can not download the new soft ware. Unable to up grade soft ware for my Mac because its telling me its already up to date. What next for me to do?..than

Can't photo stream from iMac 10.5.8. To new iPad 4th G. Can't seem to upgrade iTunes software . What can I do?.. Thanks John.

Buy Snow Leopard upgrade:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
See if the iTunes update is available with software update, get it from downloads (http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1576), or otherwise find the link to 10.7 in the "how do I downgrade from iTunes 11" threads. Most of them link to non-Apple sites carrying previous software versions like itunes 10.7.

I am having problems with the wifi connection on my ipad 4th generation only 3 weeks old. Have left it back to the shop i bought it in and they said they have to send it away now i am left with no ipad. What after sales support do you give really?

Does anyone else have problems with the wifi connection on their 4th generation Mine keeps going off line and its only 3 weeks old.I had the ipad mini and this problem never existed. I brought it back to the shop where i bought it Expert Laois last week and they said they couldnt find a problem but had to take it back today as it keeps disconneting from wifi still, anyway they are sending it back for repair and it am left with no ipad. After spending in excess of 700e i feel that this is really bad after sales service. I bought something that i want to use now and cant so what a waste of money it is .

Thankyou, but the shop said that they spoken to apple and that they have now changed their policy and that they do not give a replacement. So are you telling me that their information is false. Also what should they have done. This problem has existed since i bought it.????? What should i do?????

Wifi connection with new iPad mini

New iPad mini; cannot connect to mobile wifi router. Connected successfully with iPhone...Restored iPad as suggested; reset network settings.. running 6.0.2 on iPad. Still get Unable to Join Network.

You have a "good WiFi connection". What does that mean exactly? Can you send and receive email and are other internet related activities working OK for you? Have you tried restarting or rebooting your iPad? Sometimes that helps. If nothing else, it's a good place to start.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Reboot 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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

Cellular connectivity issue with iPad 4th gen

Hi folks,
I'm currently running iOS 7 beta 2 since it was made available for tablets on Monday. I am having a major cellular connectivity issue with Rogers. My iPhone 5 is also running iOS 7 beta 2 and has no issue with cellular connectivity (also on Rogers's network).
On my iPad, I'm having full or almost full reception but data doesn't work at all. Tried reboot and hard reboot, resets of wireless settings and nothing fixed my issue.
Is it related to iOS 7 beta 2? Is anyone having a similar issue?
Btw, model is iPad3,5.
Thanks!
Chris

Is Win 7 Pro compatible with new iPad 4th gen Wifi?

Actually I know that it is... but my computer is failing to download the driver when I plug the iPad in to synch my music from iTunes. I am synching what I've downloaded from CD's not what I've purchased through iTunes. Anyway, is the driver available somewhere that I can manually download? I've restarted several times and keep having the same issue. I've looked online, downloads.com and other places, but not found anything I recognize as the solution.
Thanks for your help!
David

Driver is included in Itunes software during download and after download is in AMDS. You can try to reinstall driver as long as itunes download was not corrupted by your security or firewall.
It is actually described here, but not an easy process sometimes.

New iPad 4th gen unable to activate

Hi, just purchased new iPad4th generation, I am unable to actvate either on wi-fi or by connecting to computer through iTunes, continue to receive error that activation server off-line and to try again or contact support, (try contacting apple support in SA was onhold for over 20 minutes before I hung-up), have disabled anti-virus software to see if that would help, no luck, any suggestions,

I have eventually sorted the problem, had to disable the anti-virus software (kaspersky) then reboot the computer, even though the anti-virus software was disabled the connections were still been blocked until the computer was rebooted, thanks

New Ipad (4th gen) crashed/froze three times in the last few hours.

After resetting it stays on the apple logo screen. No indication to connect to itunes (and it doesn"t connect)
I'm stuck on the appel logo screen and need some advice
Thanks

Try and force your iPad into Recovery Mode
1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
3.While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button. iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.
Note: Data will be lost.

My new iPad 4th gen won't come on. Any suggestions?

I've had my iPad since Christmas, and haven't experienced any problems (although I have seen a couple of flickers with power or transitioning that I assumed could be typical) but this morning it just wouldn't come one. It was on the charger, so it should have a 100% charge. No storms in my area, all other electronics (including iPhone using same eletrical outlet).
I've tried turning it off/on, and get no response. I've tried plugging it into multiple ports in my computer (which work with my iPhone) and get no response.
Suggestions?

My iPad 4th gen takes 10+ hours to charge!?

My new iPad 4th gen wi-fi takes an extremely long time to charge, upwards of 8-12 hours. I have had no other issues with it so far but I came from an iPad 2 which took maybe 2-3 hours to charge. I am just curious if this is normal or should I consider exchanging it before its too late. Thanks

I've been using my 4th Gen iPad since early January and have to charge it overnight as it takes so long... not just the initial charge... every charge. It's pointless trying to do it during the day as it invariably means I can't use it, without being next to the wall.
I had assumed that the battery in this model is bigger and takes longer. My wife's 2nd Gen iPad charges in only a couple of hours.
I must say i'm impressed with the life of each charge though. My normal use means it generally needs to be charged every 2-3 days.

IPad 4th Gen purchased - is my Macbook 3.1 too old to use?

I have bought the new iPad 4th Gen with retina display last week.... when plugged into my computer, iTunes on my Mac Book (3.1) will not pick it up, saying I need iTunes 10.7 or later. BUT to upgrade my iTunes, I need OS X 10.6.8 or later - my Mac only has OS X 10.5.8 and wont download anything newer.
I'm stuffed right?? Do i need a new computer? Or is there something I can possibly do to upgrage my OS X, so I can download a newer iTunes to use my iPad?? ARGHHH! I have tried upgrading to older new versions of Mac OS X but everything says my computer is not compatible.
I thought I was somewhat computer savvy, WRONG.

Arghh thanks. I bought the iPad to save some coin by not having to buy a new Mac Book as its super old, but looks like ill have to buy a new Mac too! My iPhone 3 and 4 both worked with this Mac though but definitely no chance of the iPad working.... Thought that would be the case.

IPad 4th gen broken?

I just received a new ipad 4th gen, however after having plugged in for an hour i've had nothing but the red line in the battery charging sign and then a couple of seconds after a bright wight light over the screen, any ideas? my fault or return to the shop???
Thanks

Take it backl to Apple and ask them to replace it
There is absolutely no reason for you to have to fix a brand new device that is what the warranty is for

HT201406 Can screenprotectors affect touchscreen functionality on the iPad 4th gen?

I have a brand new iPad 4th gen and had a Zagg Invisishield screen protector put onto it. I want to know if that can cause touchscreen issues. I have found there are dead spots on the touchscreen and also at times, phantom touching happening as well. I don't want to remove the screen protector until I know for sure because it was a little pricey.

I am having the same problems with some apps. Ice Age Village does not work now with Ipad 4.

Why do I have to connect my ipad(4th gen) to my laptop to download apps? I downloaded some yesterday, but now they just say waiting. If I connect to ITunes, I can get them through that. I am not using cellular data, just through wifi.

Any ideas greatly appreciated, it will save me a journey to the apple store

I have now solved it. I signed out of my iTunes account and then held down both the power buttons until the apple appeared. When I signed back in it started downloading.
