TS1398 I have just purchased an iPad mini and it will not join my wifi. It detects my wifi network but will not join. I have a Mac, 2 iPhones and an iPad 4 and all work perfectly. The new iPad mini just won't behave. Any ideas?

I have purchased an iPad mini and it will not join my wifi network. Any ideas?

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.

  • Does Smart Cover Work on The New iPad?

    Does Smart Cover work on The New iPad?
    Jeremy

    I am talking about so-called third party cases like from Zenus, not on apple smart covers. If they happen to have the wrong polarity, you can just trash them. But maybe apple has a deal with them, so that they can sell yet one more. And i guess then they reverse polarity for the next model... Extremely annoying, and, I repeat myself, extremely customer unfriendly product policy.

  • My smart cover is not working with the new iPad

    The smart cover for my iPad 2 won't work with the new iPad.  I have verified the toggle is enabled in settings.  Does anyone have a solution or is experiencing the same issue?  Thanks :)

    It's the polarity of the magnet in the older Apple Smart Covers (and many third-party cases and covers) that is causing the problem.  All you need to know about this situation is detailed at my blog post:

  • Nfl mobile not working on the new ipad

    could anyone one tell why nfl mobile is not working on the new ipad with vz data plan

        Brigrat and Kevbraah, I know you want to enjoy NFL Mobile from your iPads! I checked the description on the NFL Mobile app from the AppStore, and unfortunately the new iPad is not supported at this time. This may be updated in the future, but not at this time. I apologize for any inconvenience. Here is the link to the description. http://bit.ly/Po3mah
    See the "Live video and in-game highlight videos are not available on iPads and the new iPad is not supported."

  • Can I download and use final cut pro 7 on new mac pro tower?,or I must work with the new final cut pro x only?

    can I download and use final cut pro 7 on new mac pro tower?,or I must work with the new final cut pro x only?

    Disclaimer: This response assumes that a "new mac pro tower" is the new cylindrical model.
    1. You cannot download Final Cut Pro 7. FCP7 is part of Final Cut Studio (2009) a.k.a "FCS3" and it was only released on a DVD set. It can still be purchased online (maybe even from Apple) for prices ranging from a few hundred to $1K and it is 5 years old and unsupported.
    2. Although there are reports of systems running FCS3 on Mavericks, there are also a host of problems associated with this OS/software combination.
    3. A new version of iMovie Pro Final Cut Pro X has been released which is reportedly very fast and is supported.
    It's all a matter of what kind of movies you make...

  • Does this iPad 2 case work with the new iPad?

    Would this iPad 2 case work with the new iPad, or any other similar cases that do?
    http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00545KFFQ/ref=pd_lpo_k2_dp_sr_3?pf_rd_p=1036 12307&pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=B0050NG1PU&pf_rd_m=A3P5ROKL5A1O LE&pf_rd_r=1DFKVP1TXB9TEN4YGM61
    Thanks for the help.

    If it's made of rigid material (which I think is the case), then, most probably it won't. I certainly wouldn't pay 30 pounds for it just to find out it doesn't work.
    As sagarpachorkar has stated, iPad 2 cases made of non-rigid materials, generally, have a much better chance of fitting the iPad 3 too.

  • Does anyone know if a lightning 30-pin apdater works with the new iPad?

    I have a Philips Fidelio DS9000 and the new iPad doesn't fit! Apparently a 30-pin adapter will work (according to Philips), but on the Apple site it doesn't say if this pin is compatible with a new iPad. Please help! Thanks.

    If you mean this one:
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD823ZM/A/lightning-to-30-pin-adapter
    Then yes, its designed for the new iPad, iPad mini and iPhone 5 as specified in its compatibility chart in that same page.

  • Siri is not working on the "New iPad" (iPad 3)

    Why is that happens?
    I updated my iPad 3 (The new ipad) software to iOS 6, and now when I'm trying to hold the home button, nothing happens..
    Any idea what causes the issue?

    I just went to my Settings menu, there is an option inside the General called Siri, and I turned it on.
    Than I could just launch the Siri by holding down the Home Button until its shown up.
    Thanks for IIIaass.

  • IMessage not working on the new iPad

    Try to send iMessage to same person. iMessage works on my iPhone 3GS but not the new iPad. Any ideas ?

    Does the person you are sending a message to, own an iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad running iOS 5 or higher?  iMessage only communicates with other iOS devices.  And as a follow on question, if you are trying to text to a cell number from your iPad, it won't work.  That would require SMS, which is not part of iPad.  You can MMS, which means text to an email address, but again, only to other iOS devices with iOS 5 or higher.
