TS1398 I am setting up ipad. When I attempt to choose the wi fi network, nothing happens. Cannot continue set up! Why?

Just received ipad in mail. Started to set up. When it comes to wi fi network, there is our home network showing. I attempt to choose it by touching it. Nothing else happens. Cannot proceed with ipad set up. Why?

Look at iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
iPad: Issues connecting to Wi-Fi networks http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3304
iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4199
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.

HT5569 When I attempt to choose the wi fi network I set up my iPhone message says "unable to join the network." It's my network!

Recently, my iphone 4s lost connection with the wifi network I set up on my imac desktop. The message I receive is "unable to join the network..."
Can anyone offer a solution to this problem? Thanks!

Oh, so the problem has nothing at all to do with the iPhone ... it is that you cannot remember the network password! No wonder the iPhone cannot join the network.
Why not simply destroy the network and set up a new one with a password you remember?

When I touch my apps the screen blinks but nothing happens what can I do?

Hi Eric Ferguson,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
For troubleshooting on this, take a look at this article:
iTunes: Specific update-and-restore error messages and advanced troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3694
Error 13, 14, 35 and 50 (or -50)
These errors are typically resolved by performing one or more of the steps listed below:
Perform USB isolation troubleshooting, including trying a different USB port directly on the computer. See the advanced steps below for USB troubleshooting.
Put a USB 2.0 hub between the device and the computer.
Try a different USB 30-pin dock-connector cable.
Eliminate third-party security software conflicts.
There may be third-party software installed that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting one or more TcpWindowSize entries into your registry. Your default packet size being set incorrectly can cause this error. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet-size modification for assistance. Or, follow this article by Microsoft: How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) to reset the packet size back to the default for Windows.
Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, bypassing any routers, hubs, or switches. You may need to restart your computer and modem to get online.
Try to restore from another known-good computer and network.
Best of luck,
Mario

UDPATE:
Spoke with Express lane, and issue was escalated. Kudos to the support guys that handled this one (Brian and Yi). Went through everything in detail and took all the crash dumps off the iphones and ipads to send to engineering.
After backing up the contacts, the recommendation was to delete all contacts in iCloud. Doing that caused my iCloud to crash (in the browser), so more crash dumps were sent to apple.
Eventually got all contacts deleted, then did a resync. Looks like IOS devices are coming back to life and syncing again.
Also, Outlook iCloud connector has just been updated to ver 1.0.1 so i installed that on their recommendation.
BOTTOM LINE workaround:
1. Backup contacts
2. Delete contacts in iCloud
3. Delete accounts on IOS devices
4. Recreate accounts on IOS devices.
Hoping a real root cause can be found and real fix implemented. This has caused me to doubt the stability of iCloud, so i will procees with caution.

TS4036 iPad issue: "This iPad hasn't been backed up in 12 weeks. Backups happen when this iPad is plugged in, locked, and connected to Wi-Fi." Nothing happens when I press "OK" - the iPad is locked.

The following message appears on my iPad screen "This iPad hasn't been backed up in 12 weeks. Backups happen when this iPad is plugged in, locked, and connected to Wi-Fi." Nothing happens when I press "OK" - the iPad is locked. I can't use the "slide" feature to "unlock" the iPad either. What should I do?
The iPad is connected to my laptop, so please send me instructions I can follow up on by using my MacBook Pro. Cheers!
p.s. I don't know what iOS system I'm on and I can't access it since my iPad is locked. This is an iPad and not an iPad2.

A reset should help. Tap and hold the Home button and the On/Off button for approximately 10-15, Seconds, until the Apple logo reappears. Release both buttons and await restart.

After update.. i can not start the ipad, when i press agree in the terms ...it will freeze and the screen not working///help please

How do I delete photos from my iPad? When I push the red delete button nothing happens.

How do I delete photos from my iPad? When I push the red delete button nothing happens.

Which photos are you trying to delete?
You should be able to delete photos in your Camera Roll that have been taken by your device or copied to it from emails, websites, etc.
Photos that were transferred to your device during a sync process are deleted by doing another sync but before syncing deselect those albums you no longer want.

I have entered the wong password on mi iPad 2 too many times and it says disabled connect to iTunes so when i plug it into the computer , iTunes says pad locked cannot sync until you unlock the iPad but i don't remember the password nor can i put it in

You have to restore the device within iTunes. You want to use the same computer that you always sync with so that you can restore your app data and settings. You can restore with any other computer, but you will lose everything on the iPad.

Try a reset. Press and hold both the home and power buttons 10-15 seconds till the Apple logo appears. Release both buttons. Wait 15-20 seconds till your iPad starts on it's own.

HT4623 I updated my ipad to iOS 6 yesterday and it worked immediately after update. I left home for about 4 hours and when I returned I was uable to get my ipad to come up. I only have a black screen. When I press the on off button nothing happens.

I updated my ipad to iOS 6 yesterday and it worked immediately after updating my ipad worked as it should. I left and came back in about 4 hours and have a black screen. When I press the on off button nothing happens. Help.

Assuming that the battery isn't empty (and it can take up to 15 minutes of charging before it will respond), then have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep/on/off and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds, after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

When my MacBook pro late 2011 wakes from sleep i have it set to make me enter my password, but when that pace comes up the resolution of it is smaller than my screen. Why is this happening?

I was at the Apple Service. The problem was the 750Gb Toshiba HDD. It's incredible what noise can make that little thing
I didn't know the hdd position is on left on MBP 17" , I thought is the same position like MBP15"
I did't lose any kind of data.. it was fix on time.
Anyway, thank u guys....and don't forget that noise !!!
P.S. I'll make a song with that noise sample to remember it
