TS3274 my ipad is not finding networks

my ipad 1 is not finding wifi networks . what can i try to fix it?

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

  • HT1695 Ipad will not find wireless networks that it used yesterday, but MacBook Pro still finds and uses these networks.

    Our ipad will not find wireless networks that it used yesterday.   Our Mac Book Pro finds them and uses them.   
    we have reset the cable modem and wireless router, turned off the ipad and turned it back on.   Turned wireless off and back on.
    but it just spins trying to find networks but finds none.
    What do do next?

    Settings for wireless network connections are actually stored in two separate places on your Mac, so in addition to the correct advice offered by Jolly Giant, you will also need to delete old network listings in KeyChain Access.
    Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > KeyChain Access
    Locate the name of the wireless network that you want to delete and click it to highlight it
    Click Delete on your keyboard
    It would be a good idea to go ahead and also delete the current connection as well in case it has become corrupted. This will clear out the old settings and when you next connect to the network and enter the password, the new settings will be preserved.

  • IPad 1st Generation not finding networks or connecting to bluetooth.

          So, I haven't used my iPad all day and I came home to connect to my wireless speaker via bluetooth and it said it couldn't pair; I thought this was strange because I never have issues with connecting to bluetooth, even if I do it can always be fixed by toggling the speaker's power switch as well as the bluetooth switch. I then checked the upper left hand corner to see if my wireless was working, that too was inactive. I went to my settings to select my usual network only to have my iPad search and come up with absolutely no nearby networks, I went to my Mac and the internet was working just fine. So my iPad will not work with my network or work with my bluetooth. I have already taken many troubleshooting steps. 1. I reset my network settings, 2. I adjust the brightness, 3. I rebooted the iPad, 4. I finally restored the iPad. After all this, my iPad still will not connect. Yet every other wireless capable device in the house is working just fine. After I restored the iPad I made sure not to restore from a backup so it's completely fresh. Has anyone experienced any of this, and will I need to call Support, as this may be a hardware issue, Even though I JUST had this iPad replaced not too long ago.

    Yes, that was one of the common sense steps that I left out.... mainly because, well, it's common sense. I don't mean to come off as rude or anything, but the router effecting only my iPad when there are two iPad's in the house that run the same firmware as well as other devices that are working fine seems like an unlikely answer to my problem. However, I do appreciate the input. Any is appreciated, helpful or not.

  • I have a brother MFC-J835DW printer and my ipad can not find it to print?  They are both connected to the same wirelss network via a Linksys router.  Any ideas?

    I have a Brother MFC-J835DW wireless printer (which is on the list of supported printers for Airprint), and have both the IPad 2 and the printer connected to the same wireless network.  When I try to select the printer to print fromt he iPad, it cannot find the printer.  Any ideas?

    The first thing to do is to make sure that your printer has the latest firmware. You can download the firmware updater from Brother:

  • TS3274 My iPad has stopped finding any wifi networks

    My iPad has stopped finding wifi networks

    Check to see that you are using the cable and charger that came with the iPad, especially the charger itself. If you are trying to charge using the PC, it's USB ports are likely not capable of delivering enough current to properly charge the iPad.

  • Iphone and ipad does not find the airprint printer

    After I upgraded my iphone and ipad I lost my airprint function. Ipad and Iphone does not find the airprinter. The printer is a HP Photosmart 5520, and it does work wireless with my Windows PC that is on the same nettwork.

    In our case the Airprint printers could not be found after IOS upgraded to 7.1.2, all was fine before then.  I have scoured the forums and many people have suffered the same problem.  All the solutions given are aimed at a domestic network with just a Wireless router.  They all involve restarting all the devices and rejoining the IOS devices to the wireless network.  Some people have had to do it multiple times before they regained use of the printers.
    In my case none of these work because I am talking about a business network with two wireless access points, several switches and a router.  To prove it is the IPads I have installed Bonjour onto a Windows PC (Bonjour is the technology used by Airprint).  This finds the printers perfectly so it is definitely something that was changed in the version of Bonjour on the IOS 7.1.2 that is causing all the problems.
    I was hoping that Apple would release another upgrade to IOS to fix this problem but it has been several weeks so far and nothing has emerged.
    So something that worked perfectly a few weeks ago is now dead in the water because of an update on the IPads!!!!!!!!

  • IPad does not find iphone hotspot

    I have iPhone 4S and an  iPad2 WiFi both running iOS5.1
    I use the iPhone hotspot function to get the iPad on the internett when not at home. This workes great, I had to type inn the WiFi password the first time i connected the iPad, later the iPad connects without having to type the password.
    Since iOS 5.1 the iPad sometimes have problems finding the iPhone hotspot. I turn on the "shared internet" function of the iPhone, open the smartcover on the iPad, but it does not connect (the two attached rings does not appear). If I go to Settings>WiFi on the iPad, the iPhone WiFi hotspot does not show up, the iPad just keeps searching. Then after a little while, the iPad suddently connect, ususally after I open Safari or Mail or something on the iPad. If I then close the smartcover, and leave the iPhone hotspot on, reopen the iPad smart cover, again the iPad does not seem to find the WiFi hotspot. I have to turn the hotspot function off/on on the iPhone, and then after a little while it works. When first connected,everything works OK.
    Is this a problem with iOS 5.1?

    Just going to the hotspot screen on the iPhone puts it in host mode where it's easy for the iPad to find it.
    You lose some speed due to bandwidth bottleneck of Bluetooth, but I found bluetooth tethering had fewer headaches and was more persistent.

  • TS3274 My iPad will not show up in My Computer

    After updating iTunes last night only to find that Apple Support services would not start, and doing a clean reinstall of iTunes and all its componants, I now have another problem...
    My iPad will not register on my computer, or iTunes.
    It wants to connect and my computer even gives the connection sound, telling me that a new device as been connected, but then the iPad asks if I trust this computer. (as if I haven't had the iPad connected to this computer for the last three years!) When I press the TRUST button it DISCONNECTS and my computer gives me the disconnection sound!
    I checked the device drivers and there is a Apple device USB driver but it doesn't give anymore information other than the notice telling me that "This device is working normally" Hows that for irony?
    Please Help!

  • Airport Extrem not finding networks

    I have an Ibook G4 with an airport extrem card. For about 6 months I used it with several public wirless networks , at university and cafes around town. One fine day, after not using it for about a month, it simply stopped finding networks. I turn it on via the menu at the top of the screen, but it simply does not find any network , not even ones that it used to connect to.
    I made no changes in the configuration before it stopped working.
    The Apple troubleshooting suggests that if you don't see a wireless network, try clicking Scan Again. I do not have this option, networks just appear in the menu once they are located.
    In all these places ,the wirless if working for other people, siting next to me, so it is not a problem with the networks themselves.
    Any ideas? should i take of the keyboard and check that the antena is located correctly?

    ok , ill try it. Thanks.
    Do you think I should also uninstall the software , or just start with removing the card and putting it back in place?
    Or is there any thing else that needs doing?
