Really weird WiFi problem with original iPad, please help!!!

Hey everyone so I recently inherited an original iPad from my uncle who stopped using it because of WiFi issues. Unfortunately he didn't do much to try to figure out the problem and there's no warranty on it but I'd really like to fix it!
The problem is that it doesn't display nearly any available networks under the WiFi settings, but it DOES seem to show and connect to unsecured networks (and works really well...I'm in a hotel typing on it right now). But at home, in the hotel room, at my uncles place, etc...no networks show up. Also I can't connect to them if I enter manually.
So far I've tried a hard reset, fully restoring, resetting network settings, and resetting all settings...I would take it to Apple but there's no warranty
Any ideas of how I can fix this potentially?
Thanks!

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.

  • Weird install problem with OS X, please help!

    I've been upgrading a friend powerbook firewire 400Mhz G3, we installed 1GB of memory and put in an 80GB HD. I partioned so that OSX can be on the first 8GB, put 9.1 on the second parition of 7GB, upgraded the firmware, and i think i have tried just about everything i could find here on the discussion board.
    I have several versions of X including the first version, panther (retail), and tiger (borrowed, on DVD). tiger and the original version get as far as installing, then go into kernal panic (you must restart right now.....etc). 10.2 just gts to the apple screen then a white jagged bar pops up.
    i'm at a loss. i really don't know what i try to make this better, any help is greatly appriciated!!!!
    oh, and the memory seemed fine when her original 6GB drive was in there, which had tiger installed.
    j

    jhw1,
    I will just run by you some potential causes for your problem and hope that one hits the target.
    - I will ask, out of curiosity, why you are making an 8GB partition for OSX? This limitation applies only to the older Wallstreet powerbook. There is no need to partition the HD unless you have a specific reason.
    - Since the HD is new, and you still want to run Classic and also boot 9.x, make sure you install the MacOS 9 HD driver, an option in OSX's Disk Utility when erasing an HD, or go ahead and install OS 9.x first...this will automatically install the OS9 HD driver. If you install OSX first on a clean HD without installing the OS9 HD driver, MacOS 9 will run fine in Classic under 10.x but 9.x will no longer boot.
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107285
    - The Pismo has a history of failing DVD-ROM drives and usually the CD-side starts acting up first. If you have access to another Pismo or Lombard, swap drives and try the install. If you have access to a FireWire CD-RW, you can also boot OSX CDs using it.
    - Reset the PRAM if you have not done so.
    - You may have dirty or bad CDs; carefully clean or try others.
    - You mentioned the 'book ran fine with 1GB of RAM and running Tiger on a 6GB HD, but probably the 1GB was installed after Tiger was on the HD. There is the remote possibility that the RAM is problematic when running the installers. A Wallstreet, for example, often has problems installing with 512MB, but if one 256MB module is removed, the install goes fine, then the RAM is reinstalled.
    If this were my 'book, I would try this:
    1. Disconnect all peripherals and reset the PRAM.
    2. Boot to the 9.x CD > use Drive Setup to repartition the HD (if you wish) > install 9.x to make sure the HD, RAM, etc, are good-to-go.
    3. Boot to your OSX CD and see how the install proceeds. If it fails, it may be a problem with the optical drive and/or CDs. Try the options I mentioned earlier.
    4. If you wish, remove the top memory module and try the install again. If successful, reinstall the module.
    5. If there is no workaround for the optical drive, you might try installing via FireWire Target Disk Mode. The 'target' will be the Pismo's HD on the desktop of the 'host' computer and you will boot the host computer to the OSX CD and select the Pismo's HD as the destination.

  • Really weird network problem... Please help!

    This is really starting to tick me off, so I hope you can help me. This isn't exactly Archlinux related, but the problem persists on the whole network regardless of OS being used.
    Ok, so I got my new D-Link 5-port switch home a few days ago. I wanted to hook up my laptop so it could access the internet.
    I'll try to illustrate how the layout of the network is made up in my home:
    Internet -------> Router -------> Switch -----------> My dad's computer
                                                             |
                                                             -----------> My switch -------------> My main desktop
                                                                                             |
                                                                                             -------------> My laptop
    As you see, we split the internet between our 3 computers, where 2 of them are mine, and 1 is my dad's. The problem is, that we can't run more than 2 computers online. DHCP just won't function.
    If I have both of my computers online, my dad can't connect to the internet. If my dad has his computer online, I can't connect with 1 of my computers. So we are constantly only able to be 2 on the internet. I see no logical explaination for why this is happening, because the internet is split on the first switch, to my dad and me, then from my own switch, I split my connection between my 2 computers.
    Please help me, this is really giving me an edge. I REALLY hope you can help

    SomeoneWithAPurpose wrote:IP-Address: 87.58.149.226
    That confirms my suspicion.
    I think I can explain the problem. Every computer that connects to a network needs an IP address. Normally you connect a router to the internet and the router gets a public IP address from the ISP's server. This is the address that people see when you connect to their sites. When you connect your computer to the router, the router gives you a different IP address. that only people on your LAN can see. The router can give several addresses because they are only used on the LAN, so you can connect multiple computers to it and each one can get a unique IP address. When you connect to the internet, your computers communicates with the router using private IP addresses on the LAN, then your router communicates with computers on the internet using public IP addresses.
    In your case, your router is not configured to give out IP addresses. Instead, when you connect you are getting a public IP address directly from the ISP's server. Your ISP only has 2 public IP addresses that it can give you so that is why you cannot connect more than 2 computers at a time. You need to configure your router to act as a gateway between your LAN and the internet. To do this,  you have to access the router's menu and set up a dhcp server (which gives out IP addresses on the LAN) along with a firewall and whatever else you need (your current setup makes your computer directly accessible from the internet which can be unsafe, especially when running Windows).
    Oh damn.
    I went downstairs to find out where the manuals for the router were... Turns out we don't have a router ...
    All we have is 3 boxes; A internet phone adapter, a ethernet xDSL modem and a switch. Maybe this is why it's all ****ed up? Sorry for the misleading, but my dad always told me that we had a router. =\
    Ah... yeah, that's a problem. What brand is the modem? Maybe it has some router functionality anyway.

  • ICloud problems with my iPad. please help me.

    Each time i tap on icloud in settings on my ipad, this is the message that i get. And my main worry is that the device can not be located using find my ipad/iphone, it appears offline though it will be connected to the internet and having 'find my ipad switched on. So i wanted to try turn it off and on again and when i put in my apple id password to turn off 'find my ipad', the same information on the screenshot appears. The other thing is that i cannot do icloud backups. I tried to erase and do a new setup and restore from my itunes backup but the problem persits. I am also having problems in signing in with my apple id in appstore and i cant download apps. How can i solve this problem. Thanks in advance.
    iPad 3rd generation, wifi only, ios 7.1

    Try resetting All Settings:
    Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
    (This will reset the settings in the Settings app back to default)
    Is this a Wi-Fi only iPad?
    Have you tried connecting via cellular (if available)?
    Have you tried on a different Wi-Fi network?
    You can also try resetting (rebooting) your router. Unplug it from the wall for about 20 seconds then plug it back in, wait for it to finish booting and try again.
    If all else fails, restore.
    Backup your iPad, connect to iTunes on your computer and restore. Try restoring from your backup. If the problem still exists then the problem may exist in your backup also. To be sure, try restoring again, this time as a new device (not from a backup).

  • 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.

  • My iPad just stopped recognizing wifi, but my iPod and iPhone are working well.  Does anyone else have a wifi problem with their iPads?

    Today my iPad simply stopped recognizing the house network.  I have an iPod Touch and iPhone4 that aren't having any problem with wifi.

    First, try Airplane-Mode for 10 seconds. If this doesn't help, try resetting the network-configuration. This can be accomplished by heading to Settings --> General --> (at the very foot of the page) Reset --> Reset Network Settings. Then reboot iPad.
    However, if all that didn't help, you can get to a near Apple Store, or, in case of functionality, there's still the guarantee.

  • Really weird sound problem with rhythmbox[SOLVED]

    Well, I can't find anything on this, so i'm posting it here. I have no sound problems with alsa or other gstreamer apps(totem, banshee plays sound just fine). But when I try to play something in rhythmbox it just does not work. Mostly there is no sound, but every couple of seconds you can hear a distorted sound that is suposed to be playing for a moment. Rhythmbox does not issue any warnings or errors when launched from terminal. Is this some kind of bug?

  • I have a problem with my microphone, please help if you can

    Hello everyone.
    I have a problem with my microphone. After i bougth Creative's sound card "Sound blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio" and installed it, everything was allright and my microphone was working great, but this was when I used Windows XP, when i started to use Windows 7, it suddenly was very weak and i almost didn't heard it.
    Currently, I have bouth Windows XP and Windows 7 installed, so I know the microphone is working when I am switching up between the OS, because it still works good on Windows XP.
    If you can help please tell me.
    I am using Windows 7 64 bit, I made sure the flexijack settings in the Audio controll panel are set to microphone and not line in, in the Windows 7 audio controll I have set the microphone volum to maximum and made sure it is configured properly.
    Thank you for helping.

  • PROBLEM WITH NEW ROW  --- PLEASE HELP

    Hello,
    I've had it with the framework. It's been 20 hours and counting that I am trying to insert/validate a new record.
    Things just don't work as advertised.
    Here's the situation:
    I have an entity object with various validation rules in the validate() method.
    Then I have a simple JSP page to insert new records.
    At submit of button, I follow the framework's default
    create new row and fill it up, with the difference
    that i need to validate the row as soon as I fill it up
    with data from the http request:
    <jbo:OnEvent name="Create">
    <jbo:Row id="newrow" datasource="ds" action="CreateInRange" >
    <% try { %>
    <jbo:SetAttribute dataitem="*" />
    <%
    newrow.validate(); //******* NOTICE HERE THAT I VALIDATE
    } catch (JboException ex) {
    newrow.remove();
    throw ex;
    } %>
    </jbo:Row>
    </jbo:OnEvent>
    Unexpected behavior 1: If the validation fails,
    newrow DOES NOT GET REMOVED!!!! I know this
    since when I view data thru a data table component,
    the row is there WITH THE ERROR INFORMATION set!!.
    If I do a commit transaction, then the erroneous information ENDS UP IN THE DATABASE!!!!!
    Unexpected behavior 2: If I do a rollback, every
    call to subsequent pages results in a jsp error:
    java.lang.ClassCastException: oracle.jbo.html.jsp.datatags.OnEventTag
    PLEASE HELP.
    Chris Lambrou

    I have (hopefully) found a solution to my part of this problem. I was getting the ClassCastExceptions on any page with a <jbo:row> tag after doing a failed DML action. I have tested this with the delete event. (btw, I am using jdev9.0.3.3 w/ BC4J/JSP) Before what I was doing was this:
    <% try { %>
    <jbo:Row id="delrow" datasource="ds" rowkeyparam="jboRowKey" action="Delete" />
    <% } catch (JboException jboEx) { %>
    do something
    <% } catch (Exception ex) { %>
    uh-oh, this is bad
    <% } %>
    If I removed the try/catch block everything worked fine. Unfortunatlely, I need to try/catch block here. To work around the problem I changed the code to this:
    <% Row rowDelete = ds.getRowFromKey(params.getParameter("jboRowKey")); %>
    <% try { %>
    <%
    rowDelete.remove();
    %>
    <% } catch (JboException jboEx) { %>
    do something
    <% } catch (Exception ex) { %>
    uh-oh, this is bad
    <% } %>
    The second bit of code does the same thing (but it doesn't use a bean like I think <jbo:Row> does) and it doesn't cause the ClassCastError on subsequent errors.
    I really hope this helps someone else because it took me forever to get a workaround!

  • Problem with "Package Spec" please help.

    Hello once again.
    I'm developing a master-detail form, so I'm using a "Package Spec" variable to hold the primary key value from the master form. The primary key value for the master is generated by a sequence.
    Here's the package spec:
    PACKAGE primary_keygen IS
    pkey varchar2(15); 
    END;Now the master table has the following "Before Insert" Trigger .
    CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER MASTER_NUM_GEN
    BEFORE INSERT
    ON MASTER
    FOR EACH ROW
    DECLARE
    primary_key_value varchar2(15);
    BEGIN
    select lpad(to_char(ref_gen.nextval), 4,'0')
    into primary_key_value from dual;
    primary_keygen.pkey:='ABC/'||primary_key_value;
    :new.Ref_Number:=primary_keygen.pkey;
    END;For the detail block. I have the following "Before Insert Trigger" to generate the primary key values.
    CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER DET1_NUM_GEN
    BEFORE INSERT
    ON DETAIL1
    FOR EACH ROW
    BEGIN
    if :new.M_ref_number is NULL THEN
    :new.M_ref_number:=primary_keygen.pkey;
    ENd if;
    END;Works quite fine if I have only one detail block. But if I have multiple detail blocks. Depending on the user's selection. i.e. After entering data into the master block, the user selects a detail block ('Letter type'- using stacked canvases for this purpose and radio buttons for selecting the view) and then Inserts data into it. here's what I do in the Detail block2.
    CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER OREF_NUM_GEN
    BEFORE INSERT
    ON DETAIL2
    FOR EACH ROW
    BEGIN
    if :new.O_ref_number is NULL THEN
    :new.O_ref_number:=pkey_gen.master_key;
    ENd if;
    END;Now the problem is that When I enter one record into detail1, works fine, but for the second time, when I try to insert another record. the master table gets a new reference number (primary key value) while the detail block gets the previous value that was used in the first record!, so that means 'pkey_gen.master_key' is holding the old value, while in my opinion it should hold the new value, I dont know whats wrong here. If I try to insert two consecutive records into the same detail table, I get an error saying "Unique Constraint voilated", becuase the variable is holding the old values.
    And lastly after it inserts the record into the database, I get a dialog box saying, "successfuly inserted 2 records into the database" and when I click ok, the Form closes by itself, any ideas on how to stop this?
    I'm really stuck here. Please help me out on this.
    Thanks.
    Note: I'm using Form6i with Database 10g.

    Hi,
    Maybe the best way to start is to try building a new form from scratch. For simplicity I will assume that you have one master and one detail table. Master table has a primary key and the detail table has a foreign key to the master. Based on this, with the forms you can create a database block based on your master table. Use the wizard. Again using the wizard, create a second block based on the detail table. You'll see a screen to prompt to create a relationship. Create one by selecting the master table and the right foreign key relation. Now take a close look to all triggers automatically created by the form. Also check the "Relations" object found in you master block object tree. Note that the foreight key column in the detail table has the "Copy Value From Item" property set to monitor the master block's primary key.
    This is the basic. You don't need the database triggers, except (in case you want to insert through, say, SLQPlus) the one for the master table, which will look like this:
    CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER MASTER_NUM_GEN
    BEFORE INSERT
    ON MASTER
    FOR EACH ROW
    BEGIN
    IF :new.ref_number IS NULL THEN
    select 'ABC/'||pad(to_char(ref_gen.nextval), 4,'0')
    into :new.ref_number
    from dual;
    END IF;
    END;
    Now you have to take care about the inserts in your form. Create PRE-INSERT trigger on the master block.
    IF :master.ref_number IS NULL THEN
    SELECT 'ABC/'||pad(to_char(ref_gen.NEXTVAL), 4,'0')
    INTO :master.ref_number
    FROM dual;
    END IF;
    Run the form and explore different situations to see how the form is keeping the data integrity.
    Compile with Shift+K (incremental). Sometimes forms blow just because not all of the trigers were compiled properly.
    Hope this helps...

  • Having problems with Frontrow. Please help!

    Hi,
    i've been trying to figure this out all day today but i haven't found any solution. hopefully you Mac Geniuses can help. now, my problem isn't that my videos won't play, because they do. they all play perfectly. okay, so when i launch Frontrow, all my video files appear under their respective folders; my TV Shows appear under the TV Shows folder and my Music Videos appear under the Music Videos folder. however, for some strange reason, these files also want to appear under the Movies folder. That means they're showing up twice! -under the Movies folder and TV Shows/Music Videos. is there anyway to fix this, because it's really cluttering my Movies folder and i admit i'm a really anal neat-freak.
    Also, i have correctly labeled the video files as Movie, TV Show or Music Video under iTunes. Everything is organized well under iTunes, so i doubt it's that.
    please help!!

    It might be because with the new update, it seems as though anything stored in the MOVIES folder , shows up under movies in Front Row. I have a folder of Transformers AVI'S in my movie folder, now it shows up in the movie directory of front row

  • Messaging Problem with 3.0 Please Help

    I upgraded to 3.0 and now 3GS. Prior to this my wife was able to text me from her verizon blackberry, no issues and it came in on the iphone messaging. Now, somehow the iphone is changing it into an "email". The text appears as her [email protected] It's not a real email because it's not appearing in my home outlook server which is where the iphone pulls my emails from. This is way inconvient since the text doesn't appear till i go manually pull email. Anyone else have these issues. She didn't do anything different, just texts to my phone #? Techies please help.

    As far as I am aware of you will need to have a two way trust to proceed with the integration.

  • Problem with file downloads - please help

    Good morning. Since upgrading to BT Infinity 2, I have been experiencing the following problems:
    Cannot update Sonos firmware to version 5 - download times out and gives error 30
    Cannot download most files from safari - all start for the first few kb and then just hang
    Cannot download larger PDF files from Mac Mail
    These problems manifest themselves over wireless and wired connections, with the BT Homehub 5 and an Asus router. My ipad has no problems when on other networks or if I access my email from my work computer. When talking to BT technical support over the chat facility yesterday the connection dropped once every 10-30 seconds before reconnecting again. All of this leads me to believe that I have an intermittent failure on my broadband connection however BT insist that there is nothing wrong with the line or the router. I have changed channels on my router but this does not seem to make things better. Internet is working fine on all my devices for web browsing - only file downloads experiencing problems.
    Please help.

    Oh sorry, I thought from your description you were using an ASUS connected to the HH5, but it turns out you're using them separately.
    Is there a firmware update you can get on the ASUS?
