Problems wireless connecttions with my ipad 3
I been having problemas with the strength on the signal in my iPad 3, I dont get all the signal I should.
Look at iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398

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 (Auto is best). 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.

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.

Can't print to HP LaserJet Prof. P1102w_1 wireless printer with my iPad.
I cannot print to HP LaserJet Prof. P1102w_1 wireless printer with my iPad although it appears that this is a compatible printer. My computer prints to this printer. All other components of my wireless options and router are working.
Hi,
Did you updated the printer firmware?
The P1102w only support AirPrint with the latest firmware, not with the version shipped with the device.

If you have any issues after updating the device please clarify your router brand and model. -

WiFi problems - Wireless clients with .local extension?!
Hi,
I'm using a Time Capsule with Firmware 7.6.4. Since a few weeks it noticed droputs in my WiFi. It mostly noticeable when I stream videos using my Apple TV and once every 10 minutes the stream stops and needs a minute to buffer again.
I used the Aiport utility tool as well as WiFi diagnostics and the only thing I noticed is that I have a few wireless clients being listed with a .local extension. Could that be the cause of the problem? How can I resolve this?
Thanks!I am not really sure - I found this doing a quick browse and thought you may find it helpful:

How do you sync the wireless keyboard with the Ipad? It doesn't ever find
How do you sync the wireless keyboard to the Ipad
Have you read the iPad manual (Page 22)?
http://manuals.info.apple.com/enUS/iPad_UserGuide.pdf
and the Bluetooth Keyboard manual:

If your keyboard is already paired with another device that is in range then you must unpair it first (see page of the keyboard manual). -
Has anyone used the Seagate wireless plus with an iPad?
I would like to use this wireless external drive to store videos and then stream them to my iPad. Has anyone used this drive and if so how do you like it?
Hi everyone,
I am frustruated with the Seagate Wireless Plus. I think most of you just download movies in it and then watch it on your tablet. I thought this can be my external storage for everything including the content of my iPad. Not so easy!!! I can't see anything from the content of my iPad when I connect it wirelessly to Seagate. I wrote to Seagate and apparently there is another thing called WebDav in order to do it. I think Windows are winning here how easy it is to connect devices. Simply, I can see the demo stuff from the Seagate on my iPad but nothing the other way, no pictures, no music, no videos stored on my iPad can be seen from the Seagate. If there is somebody who can explain to me how to do it before I will return the Seagate to the retailer please do it in a way normal people understand. Don't say "I think" as most of people in these forums do, please say only "I know" and lead me step by step what to do. I have the latest iPad mini with iOS7, 32GB WiFi & Cellular with Retina display. I've already updated the Seagate OS to 2.2.0.005 exactly as they advise by installing the 2.1.0.014 prior to that.
Please forgive me for the tone but those 10 hours I spent so far without any results are too valuable to me.
Thanks in advance. Danny. -
I am experiencing problems using BBCiPlayer with my iPad 2
Whilst my iPad has worked fine with the BBC iPlayer for years, three days ago it stopped working. I am either getting the message that I cannot use the iPlayer on this device or else I am getting a message telling me I have insufficient broadband width.
I have discussed the issue with my Broadband provider and all is fine with the Internet provision.
All other apps are working normally ie. ITV Player, 4OD etc although SKY on the go seems to think I am offline!
All other things are working normally.
I have rebooted. I have removed and reinstalled the player.
I have tried a different browser.
I have cleared the data history/cache.
All without success.
We have other devices using this app but we have removed them and I am still having problems.
Any advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.As for the iPad not showing up in iTunes-
Firstly, make sure that your device is not hidden (left hand pane). If it just reads device then toggle between SHOW and HIDE.
Secondly, try all the other ports on your computer, even a number of times.
Thirdly, if you have another computer try plugging your device into it without taking any action, give it a moment, remove it and try it back in your other computer again.
Failing all that, see here - http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538 for Windows and http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1591 for Macs
And failing all that put the device into Recovery mode. See here and note the paragraph 'If you restore from a different computer.... ' down near the bottom of the page -
http://www.apple.com/support/ipad/assistant/itunes/
As for not fining the apps - Settings, General, Reset (scroll down) Reset Home Screen Layout -
Problem wireless connection with WPA2 Enterprise
Hello,
I am experiencing an annoying problem while trying to connect at the wireless network at the University, adopting WPA2 Enterprise. After some days of frustration I decided to post a help message here, I hope it's the right section (my problem could be kernel related...). Basically I can't connect to the network, no matter how many times i may try. Other operating systems do not give me the same problem, I can connect without issues thus my card is working properly.
Summarizing:
- My card is a BCM4313 (Broadcom), natively supported within the kernel by the module brcmsmac.
- I tried the module wl as well, with no result.
- I tried both Arch standard kernel and the LTS one.
- I am Gnome user, hence I use NetworkManager (never had a problem in the last 2 years at least...)
- I tried Wicd as well (in the past it was working when NM was failing), with no result.
- Both MS Windows, Ubuntu and Linux Mint (driver brcmsmac) allow me to connect to the network.
- The problem occurrs only in case of WPA2 Enterprise, unfortunately this is a "parameter" I cannot change...
What follows is a portion of NM log file, where I isolated the part related to one connection attempt.

As I said before, it may be a kernel related problem, but it seems very strange since I would expect a higher number of users experiencing some troubles.
As a final note, I've been Arch-dependent since 4 years already and I love it. I can't really imagine to change distribution just for this...but I am stuck at present and I need to work with the laptop, so any help is really appreciated.
Thank you

I did what you suggested and I could connect to the network, ergo it was a NetworkManager problem.
I am migrating to netctl, and I will test it at the university in the next days. I hope it will work.
Thanks for the hint, I should have done this test in the first place...:( -
Having problems wirelessly printer with Airport and my Epson CX400
I recently bought an Airport Express and an Epson CX400. The printer works fine plugged in via USB to my computer but it doesn't work when plugged into my Airport Express. The odd thing is that my computer recognizes the printer in Print & Fax, however in the Epson Print Utility it doesn't and when I go to print a page I get the error, "printer is offline." I've tried re-installing the drivers and just about everything Apple suggested. I Googled the issue and I didn't find anything helpful or up-to-date. Has anyone had this problem and found a solution? A response would be greatly appreciated.
Message was edited by: DavidI have the same problem with an Epson CX9400Fax. My printer setting says Location: Base Station eb8bbb. I've done all the updates I can find, talked to the friendly people at my local computer store. No help there. I just upgraded this computer from OS X 10.3 to 10.5.6. The printer worked wirelessly then. I have another iBookG4 that prints wirelessly just fine. So, what's up? Turtle

Is there ANY wireless mouse that will work with the iPad 2 and Apple's Wireless Keyboard?
I have the iPad 2 and Apple's Wireless Keyboard and would like to purchase a wireless mouse that will accommodate my Apple products. I do understand that Apple's Magic Mouse is not compatible with the iPad 2, but would like to hear if there is any possibility that i could use a wireless mouse with my iPad.
Thanks :)You don't have to purchase a mouse. You already have one, it's wireless and the only one that will work on an iPad.

Wireless connection issue with specific iPads
There seems to be a wireless issue with specific iPads. I sat with an Apple Genius in an adjacent Peets Coffee. His iPad connected on the first try after entering the access code. I had been trying all day with my iPad. This was after the Genius had me "Reset Network Settings" to return the factory defaults. Still no luck at Peets with my iPad. The coffee shop wireless signal on my iPad was 1 out of 3 bars. Yet this same iPad continues to have no issue connecting at the office or at home.
That's interesting. We also have the 64 GB Wi-Fi iPad. It connects fine at home, but only got one bar at the coffee shop and wouldn't connect this morning. Haven't tried it anywhere else yet.
