Unable to connect iPad Mini to Wifi as of this morning
My ipad mini stopped connecting to Wi-fi just this morning. My regular iPad 3 and iPhone 5 and other devices are all able to connect. I downloaded the latest software update (6.0.2) and I am still unable to connect the ipad mini to wifi. It has been reset, restored, etc etc etc and still is not working. I've tried everything I could think of and find for the past few hours. The 6.0.2 update was supposed to fix it as per the description, but it did not. Note that everything was working fine until this morning and nothing changed - no app downloads, nothing with the wifi, etc.
My iPad Mini still will not connect to Wi-fi. Any suggestions?
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.

Unable to connect ipad to office WiFi
I purchased an Ipad4 for business, and have had no problem for the first 6 months. Recently my ipad will no longer pick up the office Wifi. I receive the message "Unable to join the network". I have tried rebooting the ipad, and letting it run out of juice for a complete reboot. I have checked my connections with Safari, and everthing appears in order.
I have done nothing to the WiFi connection and office server.
Any suggestions?try resetting your phone by turning it off and back on again. Also, try resetting the network settings under Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.

How can i connect ipad mini wifi+celluar to 2g internet plan
Hello Sir!
After weeks of testing, i found the solution of my question. It´s quiet simply!!
1º iPhone (3G Internet acess) connected to Mac mini by USB or BlueTooth or WiFi.
2ª in Mac mini must be activated in "Preferencias", "Compartir", the option "Compartir Internet",
"Compartir Conexión desde": iPhone USB or Bluetooth PAN
"Con otros Ordenadores vía": Ethernet
3º Ethernet cable must be connected from Mac mini to Time Capsule !!
4º In Time Capsule "Internet": connect by: DHCP
"Network": bridged
Nothing more!!! Sooooo simply!!
After this, Windows XP SP3 connect without problem over TC´s WiFi or Ethernet to the Internet!
Also other Devices like IPad, or other iPhone, etc.
Of course it can be a created a WiFi connection (PPP) between the iPhone and the Mac
and it´s working to.
But ALWAYS, by changing the connection mode, must be changed the Thethering mode.
In- and Out-Going!
Thank you for your help, no I made me a "small" TC expert...lol -
Ipad mini lost wifi connectivity after 8.1
Can no longer connect on my ipad mini to wifi after installing 8.1. Tried all the recommended fixes such as rebooting, resetting network settings, even resetting the ipad. Nothing.
AFter total restore, it finally came back. I don't know why except I think it was reading my ip address wrong. I had deleted what was there and finally it just came back.

The wifi connection on my new iPad mini (32GB wifi only) is so slow that I am submitting this from my iPod touch (4th gen). I actually started to access support on the iPad but it was just taking too long. Really this is not good enough for what should be out-of-the-box press-and-play technology. I have tried switching wifi off and back on - sometimes it helps. I have removed the iPad from its case - no discernible difference. I have been running both devices side by side and the Touch wins hands down every time. I'm not too upset about the yellowing around the edge of the iPad mini screen, but I really want the wifi to work at least as well as the iPod.
The iPad mini was purchased in Hanoi, Viet Nam from an authorized reseller sourced through apple.com. Both devices are being used in Viet Nam. Wifi is generally excellent.
Thanks,
Dave.The wifi connection on my new iPad mini (32GB wifi only) is so slow that I am submitting this from my iPod touch (4th gen).

Can I use hotspot tethering in iPad mini with wifi??
Can I use hotspot tethering in iPad mini with wifi??
You can use an iPhone (if your carrier supports it) as a personal hotspot for your iPad and use the phone's cellular connection to go online with your iPad - your iPad will see the phone as a wifi network.
If you are asking if you can share an internet connection from a wifi-only iPad then you can't, only cellular models potentially allow you to share its connection with other devices/computers. -
Can I use USB 3G data Modem on my iPad MINI as wifi is not Available everywhere?
Can I use USB 3G data Modem on my iPad MINI as wifi is not Available everywhere, I have just purchased one.
You can't connect a USB 3G dongle to an iPad, it won't be recognised. You can use an iPhone as a personal hotspot for the iPad (if you phone carrier supports it), or you can get mifi devices which act as mobile hotspots

Why can't I send SMS messages from my ipad mini 16g wifi?
Even when your iPad Mini has a 3G cellular modem onboard, the iPad Mini still can NOT send or receive SMS Text messages.
The 3G modem is only used for a internet data connection and has no software to either send or receive SMS text messages even though the hardware is available.
I can confirm this with the iPad Mini iOS6.1 with 3G cellular modem.
Apple Support has this issue currenlty under investigation - you can follow this issue here:

Does ipad mini 2 wifi only can access to LTE signal by using pocket wifi 4g lte?
Does ipad mini 2 WIFI ONLY can access to LTE signal by using pocket wifi 4g LTE.,THANKS
Hello Aaryn D
You should be able to connect to that hotspot without issue as an iPad will see it within the Wi-Fi networks and you would not need the cellular model unless you want the iPad to constantly have a data connection.

I just bought an new ipad mini with wifi and cellular. Is there any way to send text messages to people and contacts that do not have iphones such as friends with blackberrys or a samsung galaxy smartphone from this ipad. Everytime I try to send a message to a person that does not have an Apple product ( Iphone or Ipad ) it comes up saying contact is not registered for iMessage and wont send it. I can only send them a message from my iPhone 4 instead. Do I have to install a new App from the App store to send these non iMessage cell users a message?

I got a new iPhone 5s and I am unable to connect to my home wifi (through Comcast/Xfinity) network. I was able to with my 4s with no problems but with my new 5s, I just get that a message that says "Unable to connect to network [network name]" Thoughts on how to connect to the wifi network? My laptop is connected and using the wifi just fine.
I see the following instruction:
Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Note: This will reset all network settings including:
However when I get there I am offered a screen which states "Enter Passcode", and have no clue as to what this should be given I never had to set this in the first place.
It expects 4 digit code, so any ideas?
