Status bar shows "iPad" instead of signal strength

my ipad shows "iPad" in the status bar area where you would usually see signal strength/wifi/3G. I cannot get the 3G or wifi to connect. any suggestions?

Hi,
If 3G and WI FI are enabled, and you are still having problems, tap Settings / General / Reset / Reset Network Settings.
Then restart your iPad. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider to turn off iPad. To turn iPad back on, press and hold the Sleep/Wake until the Apple logo appears.
See if that makes a difference.
Make sure Restrictions is turned off. Settings / General / Restrictions.

  • Why does my status bar shows GPRS?

    I recently updated my iPad 3 to iOS 7. Why does my status bar shows GPRS and not 3G?

    No service refers to the availability of cellular service. If there was no Wi-Fi signal you would see only a dot instead of the Wi-Fi fan symbol.

  • How do I add  "little icons" to my status bar on iPad 2?

    How do I add those  "little icons" to my status bar in iPad 2?

    What little icons might you be talking about? If you are asking about the thumbnail views in Safari, there is nothing that you can do to change the way that Safari works on the iPad. Safari now uses tabs.
    If that's not what you are asking about, please provide some details.
    EDIT - OK. I get it now .....

  • My 2007 iMac (lion) starts, logo appears, status bar shows up, takes 2 mins to finish, then shuts off

    My 2007 iMac (lion) starts, logo appears, status bar shows up, takes 2 mins to finish, then shuts off. Please help!

    This sounds like a hard drive issue. First I would try to boot to safe mode: OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode? - Apple Support
    If that works do a backup ASAP with Time Machine: Mac Basics: Time Machine backs up your Mac - Apple Support or copy your important files to an external drive if they are not already backed up. If that does not work, Boot to recovery:  OS X: About OS X Recovery - Apple Support
    The next step would be verifying and if needed repairing the hard drive using Disk Utility.
    Resolve startup issues and perform disk maintenance with Disk Utility and fsck - Apple Support
    If it successfully repairs, do a restart and see if it boots as normal. If it cannot be repaired, it means that the hard drive has failed/is failing. If you do not have the data backed up you could try getting the data using target disk mode: OS X Mountain Lion: Transfer files between two computers using target disk mode ,booting from an external drive that has OS X installed on it: OS X: Installing OS X on an external volume - Apple Support, or 3rd party data recovery service.
    After data is backed up or recovered, you would need to do an erase and install of OS X: OS X: How to erase and install - Apple Support
    If it fails to erase, then the hard drive needs to be replaced.

  • Lexus 350 (2010) bluetooth worked fine with iPhone 4 until i upgraded to iOS 5. now it's a problem. Get "no connect" . Bluetooth symbol shows up but no signal strength bar. Cannot make calls through car system. Music is also intermittant.

    Bluetooth worked fine until I upgraded to iOS 5. Now I can't make calls. Get bluetooth symbol in car but no signal strength bars. Try to make a calll and can't do it. Music is also intermittant. Wifes phone ( Samsung) works fine. Problem began aftger upgrade

    I fixed a similar problem on my Audi after hours of struggle!!!
    I turned off Siri from settings.  I deleted bluetooth pairing with my car ("forget this device").  I re-established bluetooth connection.  I turned Siri back on.  All fine (so far).
    It seemed to be Siri related.
    If this works for the rest of you kindly pass it along to one or two of the other 1000 posts on this issue.  People are very frustrated right now.  Its not just Audi and Lexus and Ford - its every make/model on the planet!  This one is not obvious.
    Let us know if it works for you.

  • The old status bar showed a lock icon when on a secure site - where is that lock icon in vers 4?

    The status bar was along the bottom of the window. At the right end of that bar, a lock icon would appear when you are on a secure site, like banking or bill pay. With the status bar now gone, where do I see that lock icon?

    The padlock is no longer a part of Firefox; it can give users a false sense that a site is secure by not supplying all of the information about a site. Familiarize yourself with the '''''Site Identity Button''''' in Firefox:

  • WL5.1sp8-NSAPI-IE-Status bar shows page is loading for minutes

    I'm using WL5.1sp8, NES4.1sp6 on a Solaris 7 to deliver JSP pages over
    https.
    I notice that the status bar on the bottom line of IE5 (windows NT)
    indicates that the page is still loading for minutes, even though the
    page appears to be complete. What could be happening to cause this?
    This may be the symptom/cause of other problems I'm experiencing, such
    as occosionally I will get a "The page cannot be displayed". I have
    attempted to track that down, but when this happens, nothing is written
    to NES's access log, thus maybe the request did not even get to the
    server.
    Thanks,
    Jon

    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
    Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
    Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

  • In 1 applications, e.g. Norton Virus Scan, and Macware DiskToolsPro, the status bar shows 100% but task is still running. Where it says x of y items complete, x is y. This also happens in Windows 7 with Bootcamp. Please explain.

    In >1 applications, e.g. Norton Virus Scan, and Macware DiskToolsPro, the status bar sometimes shows 100% complete but task is still running. Under the status bar, where it says something like "x of y items complete," x is greater than y. This also happens in Windows 7 with Bootcamp. Why does this happen?

  • Finder status bar showing wrong available drive space

    The status bar in finder windows is saying that I have more space availible than I actually do.  This problem is not occuring on external drives. Everything from quick look to third party system monitoring apps all show the correct space availible, and the only thing that says otherwise is this finder status bar. 

    Having the same problem here - MacBook Pro (one week old) 10.8.2.  Started up from the "repair disk" and ran disk utility - both repair and fix permissions.  No correction.

  • New PopUp Status Bar showing up in bottom-right corner, covering items. How do I change this to bottom-left only?

    I don't know if I accidentally caused this. But the new PopUp Status Bar defaults to the bottom-right, which ends up covering up vital links on certain websites I use. I just find this super annoying and I would like to have it only show on the bottom-left. Is this possible?
    Or do I need to disable it somehow?

  • 4th Generation iPad wifi poor signal strength

    I recently purchased an iPad 4th Gen.  It seems to only want to connect to wifi when I am within 15-20 feet of the antenna.  I have tried removing the iPad from the case and still nothing.  I have the problem at home and work, and have tried 4 different routers.  My phone and laptop have full signal strength while my iPad cannot even find the network.  Any suggestions?
    Thanks,
    Bill
