Slow wifi speeds ipad 4th generation

I have a MacBook Pro and an iPhone which are getting the best speeds possible for them. My router is a virgin super hub which I know are notoriously pants but I've tweaked all the settings and got it running fine. Ipad download speeds are never better than 16mb/s and I have a 60mb/s download. Is this a hardware issue or is there something I can do?

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

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.

Replacement iPad 4th generation WIFI/3G saying no SIM CARD and unable to restore previous settings

Hi Inez2317,
Thank you for participating in the Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you see a "No SIM" message on your iPad. You can find some troubleshooting steps that can help at this link:
If you see 'No SIM' alert on iPhone - Apple Support
Although the article references the iPhone, most of the steps can help troubleshoot an iPad as well.
All the best,
Jeremy

What is the meaning of "(MM)" in ipad (4th generation) wifi cellular (mm) ?

What is the meaning of "(MM)" in ipad (4th generation) wifi cellular (mm) ?

I don't know what the "MM" stands for specifically, but those are the CDMA models, A1455 for the mini and A1460 for the 4th-gen iPad Retina.
Regards.

They may be purchased unlocked at full price. But whether you can use them in Brazil depends on whether you have GSM service there.
Note that if you buy in the US then any warranty work will require you to bring the device to the US for service. The US warranty is only good in the US, not in Brazil. You would be better off buying it in Brazil which will also save you duty and import taxes plus US sales tax.

IPad 4th generation charging seems too slow. After 7 hours started at 20%, now only up to 60%.

iPad 4th generation seems to be charging too slowly. After 7 hours, started at 20%, now at 60%. Is there something I can do to speed things up?

Do you have the iPad busy doing many tasks while charging, perhaps without your knowledge? For example, do you have Bluetooth on, even though you are not intentionally using it? Are you using geofenced reminders (e.g., "remind me to ... when I arrive home")?
You can stop many tasks from running by double clicking the home button, seeing those tasks thar are currently running (displayed to the right of the home screen display), then swiping toward the top of your iPad the icon above the bottom one that shows the icon as it appears on your screen.

HT4157 I have iPad 4th generation but no option for cellular what can I do

Hi everyone , I have iPad 4th generation. Today I had no wifi and wanted to connect with the cellular but could in,t find that option in my settings , what should I do

Do you have the iPad 4 with WiFi + cellular data or the WiFi-only model?
If you have the cellular model you should have a option: Settings > Cellular Data
Have you setup a cellular data plan with your carrier?

HT204023 Can you use the personal hotspot on the iPhone 4 with an iPad 4th generation ?

Can I use the personal hotspot on the iPhone 4 with the iPad 4th generation which only has wifi ?
Thank you in advance for your help :)

Unlimited Internet is different than the carrier supporting the hotspot feature. I don't have an iPhone or an iPad with cellular. My limited knowledge about the hotspot is from reading support articles about it and from what I have read here in the forum.
I don't know that circumstances with the carriers have changed, but initially, the was an extra cost to enable the hotspot feature on the iDevice. I believe that Verizon was charging an additional $20 per month for the feature. Check out the support article that I posted above.
This is copied from that article that I posted above.
Note: If you do not see the option for Personal Hotspot, confirm with your carrier that this feature is supported and your wireless plan is configured for Personal Hotspot. For additional troubleshooting, see this article.

I bought an ipad 4th generation with wi fi 4g verizon can I change SIM card and use att sim card

Can I change my verizon SIM card to att sim will it work on my ipad 4th generation wi fi+4g

Theoretically, yes. However, you'll only get 3G speeds. You won't be able to use 4G LTE.

I have an Olympus E620 and have bought an IPad 4th Generation. How can I transfer my pictures from the camera to the IPad?. My camera does not take SD cards.

I have an Olymput E620 and iPad 4th generation, how can I download the pictures off the camera to the iPad?
The only cable I can find with lightning and usb is the apple camera adaptor but it is £25 from Apple which is a bit expensive if it will not work. Some peoples reviews seem to say this will not work, I can not use the camera reader by Apple as this only takes SD cards and my camera takes XD and compact flash cards. I have realised that you cannot use this cable on a card reader which is a shame and means taking more cables on holiday with you and more likely to get lost. This is so frustrating as one of the reasons of buying the iPad was to use, to transport photos whilst away instead of having lots of cards which do get lost and damaged. I hope someone can help as there seems to be a lot of confusion as to what works in cases like this.

go to start - computer - right click on ipod and import pics.
Peace, Clyde

Since updating to iOS 8 my iPad 4th Generation wont synch any media like music or movies, just artworks of the music I already have

Since I updated to iOS 8 my iPad 4th generation my iPad wont synch any media like music, movies or TV shows. It always starts to synch like any normal iPad but just when its stars to transfer the movies, music or what ever new media I want to get on the iPad, it instantly restarts the synch, and the only thing it does is synch the artworks for the music and movies, but I does not transfer any media. I have restored my iPad 4 times, nothing different, I have reinstated iTunes on my PC 3 times, nothing changed and I dont know what to do.

Thanks for all (Ocean20 & Courcoul) who replied.
Reset the device did not help me but it does triggers me to attempt to resend the PDF file attachment on email--and it works the 2nd time. My problem is now solved.
The Adobe Reader is very helpful--it allows me to scroll through the document easily, unlike iBooks, where I cannot scroll straight up or down.

Connecting ipod classic to new iPad (4th generation)?

Which adapter connects older ipod classic to new iPad (4th generation)?

The "connection" for the iPod needs to go through iTunes on a computer. You cannot connect your iPod directly to an iPad.
So (for example), if your intent is to transfer songs from iPad to iPod, you need to use the copy of the songs that are on the computer and use iTunes to sync them to the iPod. If you can't do that because you bought the songs on the iPad from the iTunes Store, you can use the Purchased screen in iTunes (on the computer) to re-download them (at no cost) into your iTunes library. The link to Purchased is on the iTunes Store Home screen, to the right, under QUICK LINKS.
You can then sync those songs to the iPod.
