One ipadmini will connect to WiFi but an identical one will not.  Any suggestions?

Of 2 identical ipadminis, one will connect to the WiFi network but the other one receives the error message: Unable to join the network "XXXX".  Any suggestions?

Hi thekps. Sorry to hear about your problem. Usually when an iPad can't connect to WiFi, it is usually the WiFi/Modems fault. I'm not saying its broken as such. There are many occurrences to your problem.
You are to far from the modem
You are typing in the wrong network key in
There are too many devices attached to the modem
Here's a little trick that I like to use:
Go to Settings and click on WiFi. Press Other. Type in your SSID/ Network Name. Select your modems security type. If you dont know this, youll have to guess a lot. Then type in your password. If that doesn't work let me know!

  • Connected to wifi but unable to get on safari, any suggestions?

    I am in a hotel and connected to the wifi system. When I try to get on the Internet I am td there is no connection. I was on earlier today.  The signal strength is full. What can I do to trouble shoot?

    Hi there.
    Some hotel networks require some sort of authentication, or sometimes even payment to connect to the network. If you are connected to the wireless network, and the network requires this, you should be greeted with a page as every time that you attempt to connect to a wireless network, the iPad checks for this.
    I would also try contacting the hotel's network troubleshooting department for help also, as they may have a different configuration than normal networks do.
    Hope this helps.

  • HT4587 My airport express and wireless airplay speaker are connected to wife, but airplay and homesharing are not working...what to do?

    My airport express and wireless airplay speaker are connected to WIFI, but airplay and homesharing are not working...what to do?  Everything was working fine until about two weeks ago, all of the sudden airplay has disappeared from the iphone, itunes on the laptop, and the apple remote for iphone.  I have restarted the router many times, re-setup the airplay speaker and the airport express and booth are showing as being properly connected to the router when I log into the router IP address.  I was on the phone with Apple support for 30 minutes they blames verizon, got on the phone with verizon and they stated the settings were all correct and compatible with apple, got back on the phone with apple and they again are blaming verizon and trying to get me to get an airport extreme because that would fix the problem...any suggestions, please!

    There are three Airport resets, soft, hard and factory default.  It would probably be beneficial if you tried each one in sequence.  Actually, you could jump to the factory default reset if you don't mind reconfiguring from scratch.

  • FaceTime used to work, now it will not- any suggestions with issues that changed the functioning of it?   I cannot trash it and when I try to purchase another app for it, it says I have the newer version

    I downloaded the FaceTime app to my macbook pro-  it worked great.  All of a sudden, it won't allow me to log in with my apple ID, won't advance to the next screen.
    I tried to trash it, won't let me.
    I tried to download another from the app store- says I have a newer version
    any suggestions how to make it work for me?

    thanks for your reply.  I tried this without success.   My apple ID is fine- I verified it and it works.    I sign in and it takes me to the page saying "NEXT" but when I click on that, it takes me back to the sign in page.   My contacts all disappeared.    And I cannot open the FaceTime Preferences pane-  is grey and Not able to be clicked on to open.     My apple ID works but my FaceTime will not.
    any other suggestions
    I updated to the most recent OS mavericks too

  • My iPhone 4S shows that I am connected to wifi, but still shows 4G and not the bars for wifi.

    I have been using my iPhone 4S for one year and has been working perfectly fine until now. I connect it to wifi and it shows the blue check, showing I am supposed to be connected, but at the top, where the 4G network shows, it stays at 4G and does not show the bars for the wifi. It only connects to the one home network I have. When I am connected to the home wifi, it kicks me off the wifi everytime I put my phone on standby--> lock it after I am done using it. It also kicks me off my home wifi occasionally, when I am in the middle of using it, and have to recconect it. If I go to a store, for example, JcPenny, I try to connect it to the wifi there and it shows the blue check, and like I said, the 4G network does not change to the wifi bars. Please try to help me!

    You are detecting the wifi, but not connected to it.

    Additional things to try.
    Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

  • I am connected to wifi but it says i'm not connected?????

    I can't connect to wifi even though i put in the network and password and looks like it should be connected but it says not connected.......works on my coworkers with android but my co workers who have iphone we are all having the same issue

    You may not really be connected to your WiFi network.
    Your router may not have given your iPod a valid local network IP address. Go to Settings > Wifi > your network name and touch the ">" to the right to see the network details. If the IP address starts with 169 or is blank then your router didn't provide an IP address and you won't be able to access the Internet.
    Sometimes the fix can be as simple as restarting your router (remove power for 30 seconds and restart). Next, reset network settings on your iPod (Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings) and then attempt to connect. In other cases it might be necessary to update the router's firmware with the latest from the manufacturer's support web pages.
    If you need more help please give more details on your network, i.e., your router make, model and version, the wifi security being used (WEP, WPA, WPA2), etc.

  • Ipad is showing connected to wifi but it is saying its not connected to internet.  I have reset all settings, tried to change IP address and subnet mask and nothing is working.

    My ipad mini 3 is not showing that it is connected to the wifi, but it is saying it is not connected to the internet.  I have reset network settings and then reset all settings and it has not worked.  I have tried to change it to static and change the IP address and the subnet mask and that is not working either.  I have also tried to use the wifi in different places and that doesn't work either.  Please help!!!!  iPad is useless without the internet.

    1. Set router back to Auto DHCP.
    2. Turn off router for 30 seconds and on again.
    3. Re-boot iPad.

  • I have a macbook air, have never had a problem with it, but all of a sudden can't connect to wifi. Says "ip address fail". Any suggestions?

    I've also tried network idagnostics, it can never get further than ISP. Sometimes ill get lucky and it'll connect, but the connection *****. I know the internet itself is working cause the other computers in the house are working fine. Help!

  • Macbook will connect to wifi but will not connect to internet

    Lately I've been experiencing an issue with my internet, my computer will connect to wifi, but the internet will not work. I have tried multiple wifi networks, and sometimes the internet works but it is slow, or sometimes it won't work at all. For whatever reason apple.com is the only one working at the moment.. how convienent.. I have rebooted my laptop, the router and my operating system is up to date. Please help!!

    Check proxies ...
    Open System Preferences > Network > Advanced > Proxies
    Deselect any checked boxes on the left then click OK.
    Relaunch your browser to test.
    And make sure the firewall is off. System Preferences > Securty & Privacy > Firewall
    If it's on, you may need to click the lock icon to turn if off. You may be prompted for your admin password.

  • My macbook pro is connected to wifi but it will not connect to the internet.

    My macbook pro is connected to wifi but it will not connect to the internet. When I go on safari, it says that "Safari can't verify the identity of the website". Then I tried to update flashplayer but you need the internet to update it. All this only started happening after that Moutain Lion software was downloaded onto the laptop. Please help, I have been internet-less for a couple months now.

    Hi rynhelp,
    If you are not able to connect to the internet after installing Mountain Lion, see this article for information on how to start troubleshooting:
    OS X Mountain Lion: Use Network Diagnostics
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH10984
    You may find additional troubleshooting information in this article useful:
    Troubleshooting Wi-Fi issues in OS X Lion and Mac OS X v10.6

    It is written for Lion but works for Mountain Lion as well.

  • My computer will connect to wifi but not the Internet

    My computer will connect to wifi but not the Internet. It's not a problem with my router because I've tried other devices on the same router and they work. I have also tried my computer on other routers and there is still no Internet connection. Does anyone know how to fix this?

    Hello Bmowat,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
    It sounds like you are able to successfully connect to your Wifi network, but cannot get internet access.
    I found this article for you named Wi-Fi: How to troubleshoot Wi-Fi connectivity found here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4628?viewlocale=en_US
    This section in particular since you have Mountain Lion installed:
    OS X Mountain Lion v10.8.4 or later
    Use the Wireless Diagnostics application included with OS X Mountain Lion v10.8.4 and later to identify and resolve Wi-Fi issues. For further information, please see About Wireless Diagnostics.
    It is a built in troubleshooting tool to help diagnose and repair network issues and should help you resolve this issue.
    All the very best,
    Sterling

  • My PowerBook G4 says that it's connected to wifi, but it still no internet connection. The connection will work for a while, and then I'll have to run diagnostics and it will work again for a few minutes and then stop working again. What's going on??

    Restart the computer in Safe Mode = joy?
