Recently I connected my AE, but the iPad Wi-Fi settings showed it as locked (requiring password).  After each time I re-set it, it returns to a locked status.  What is happening?

After a re-set, the AE keeps returning to a locked status.  Try again, the same results.  What do I need to do?

The locked indicator on your iPad means that the network is "secured" and requires a password to gain access. Once your iPad successfully connects it remembers the password for you so that you don't have to enter it again.
If you change the password on your network, You'll have to change it on your iPad as well.  In order to do this.
On your iPad:
1. select the system preferences (gears) icon.
2. tap on Wi-Fi and make sure the Wi-Fi switch is ON
3. tap on the blue arrow of the network that you need to change the password for.
4. at the top of the next page. tap on "Forget this Network"
5. tap on the Forget button
6. close the app by pressing the home button on the ipad
7. now go back into system preferences and tap on your network name when it comes back up.  It should ask you for the password.  Type in the new password and your should reconnect.
Let me know if you have any further problems.

    You've connected the iPad via cable to your computer, and your computer's iTunes is up-to-date ? If it's icon isn't showing then try one of these troubleshooting pages :
    PC : iPhone, iPad, or iPod not recognized in iTunes for Windows - Apple Support
    Mac : If you don't see your connected device in iTunes for Mac - Apple Support
    If the iPad is disabled then you'll need to reset the iPad back to factory defaults, after which you can restore to your backup

  • When connectipad to Imac the itunes bar show the ipad but the screen of itunes is blank w small lock. What can i do

    Restore ipad=done, reinstall itunes done, reset ipad done... No resolved. Help!

    The technician apparently doesn't believe, or at least isn't sure, that the crack would have appeared without some sort of impact to the iPad. I have no way of knowing whether or not the crack in your device appeared spontaneously nor not, but what I believe really doesn't matter; it's what Apple believes, and if they believe that some damage occurred to the iPad, due to a drop, being hit, having something dropped on it, whatever, If you can't convince them that the crack occured spontaneously, then the problem will not be covered under warranty and you have to pay for the replacement. You can try going to the Apple Store, explaining the situation, and hope that the technician agrees that the problem wasn't due to user damage, but no one here can guarantee that. You'll just have to try.
    And yes, sometimes people do lie. I'm not saying that you did, but the Apple technician has I'm sure heard a number of lies from people in similar situations.
    Regards.

    I have music in icloud but the ipad "loses the connection".
    The music is loaded onto my imac and I want to be able to access it from the ipad
    The only way I can do this is to sync with the imac.  This does not use the icloud as I thought.
    The library shows on the ipad but it does not play.

    - If it happened after an iOS update try:
    Fix for “No Content” on iPhone & iPod after iOS 4.2.1 update
    - Next try resetting your iPod:
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Then try restoring your iPod via iTunes.  First from backup and then to factory defaults/new iPod.  Then resysnc.

    I recently changed my apple ID but the old on is still on my iCloud account. The old address is dimmed on iCloud on my iPad so I can't change it. How do I change to the new address?  I don't want to delete the account as I don't want to lose the pictures

    To change it, you have delete the existing account.  However you can avoid losing any pictures in the process.  To avoid losing photo stream photos, save them to your camera roll (if not already there) before deleting the account.  To do this, open your my photo stream album, tap Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, then tap Save to Camera Roll.  (Camera roll photos are not effected by deleting the account.)
    Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in with the new ID.  This deletes the account and your iCloud data from your device, but not from iCloud.  Provided you are signing back into the same account, your iCloud data will reappear on your device when you sign back in.

    How old is the MacBook Pro?  AirPlay is only supported on 2011 and newer models, due to the requirements it has in hardware for graphics acceleration.

    Have you tried restarting the printer? Reboot the iPad as well.
    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 - let go of the buttons.

  • HT1296 I want to synch my address book using the usb connection to my computer, but the IPad doesn't appear on the desk top?

    I want to synch my address book to my I-Pad using the usb connection to my computer, but the IPad doesn't show up on the desk top or in I-Tunes. Any suggestions?

    Try again to install the latest version of iTunes; http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Otherwise when your iPad is connected with your computer and iTunes open try several times; Keep the Powerbutton and the Homebutton pressed at the same time until you see the Apple logo on your iPad screen.

    iOS devices do not have the BT profiles that support file sharing and othr general functions. See:
    iOS: Supported Bluetooth profiles
    Basically it support headphones, keyboards, speakers, peer-to-peer gaming

  • I have 2 id apple. 1of them don´t recongize my adress in Brazil. I tried to create another account but the ipad refuse it. I´d like to exclude these 2 accounts and creat a new account with my same email. How can I do it?

    I don't know if that works on the iPhone, but....
    View your SETTINGS and choose ICLOUD. That will give you your cloud settings. At the very bottom it has a delete button. Click it an see what happens. After deleting the account (and potentially loosing data connected with it) you should be able to log in to iCloud using your old id.

    Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school enviroment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.

    ‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
    Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
    I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
    Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
    1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
    2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
    3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
    4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
    5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
    6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
    7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
    8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
    If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.
     Cheers, Tom

  • I deleted all Apps on iPad as they were associated with an out of date Apple ID and I could not update them, but the "App Store" logo still shows that there are 2 to be updated and when I go there I cannot delete. Please assist. Thanks.

    Why don't you explain what happens when you try to delete these two apps that are showing that they need updates. You can only delete them if they are actually installEd on the iPad. Are they on the device?

  • Do I have to use my computer for my ipad or can i just connect to itunes through the ipad?

    Do I have to use my computer for my ipad or can I just connect to itunes through the ipad only?

    Vague.
    What are you trying to accomplish?
    The ipad is not a stand alone device.  It is designed to be synced to your computer regularly.
    You can buy itunes content from your ipad, but you need to transfer it to your computer and included it in your regular backup of your computer.
