Why can't i connect my ipad to home wireless?

why can't i connect my ipad to home wireless?

Is your iPad seeing the Router SSID (Network Name) in the list of networks? If so what happens when you try to select it? Are you asked for a password? If the network isn't secure then it won't ask you for a password and you should just connect.

Why can't I connect my ipad to itunes store?

Why can't I connect my ipad to itunes store? I reset my password today and it is working on my ipod.

I set up Keychain and do not have access to the telephone I gave. Now I can no longer connect my ipad to my windows computer. I can not turn off Keychain...it is awaiting authorization from the SMS on the telephone I do not have access to.

I set up Keychain and do not have access to the telephone I gave. Now I can no longer connect my ipad to my windows computer, itunes does not automatically open when I plug in the USB. I can not turn off Keychain in my ipad since authorization is pending awaiting the code sent by SMS, which I can not get. Can someone advise how to get rid of Keychain. Should I cancel my icloud account?

I appreciate your help.
Have reset the ipad, but that changed nothing. I can not turn off Keychain, iit remains "pending approval". Probably, the only thing to do is to close my icloud account...which I hate to do since there is a lot of data saved there. But, I am unable to back the ipad up on my Windows 8 computer because itunes no longer opens when the ipad is attached.
Oh well...computers are computers and it is impossible to cover 100% of the situations.
Keychain iss not the best app for someone who lives in 3 different countries.
Thanks

Why can't I update my IPad 2 to IOS 5? Itunes always say "The connection has timed out" whenever I tried to update my IPad 2.

I've already tried my best to update my IPad 2 into IOS 5 since it's lunch into the world. So I open up my Itunes in my PC, connected my IPad 2 with the cable, and clicked "Update". So then I waited for a while till I finish all the steps or whatsoever. Then ITunes's bar showed something like "Downloading software for the IPad" "12 hours remaining" So then I waited and waited and waited, 9 hours are remaining and suddenly a window poped-up saying that my network connection had timed out and i had to try again even when my internet connection is really on the fast lane. I wonder if it's my IPad's problem or ITunes. Please help me to solve this problem.

Sadly there are some 'bad carriers' out there. If you have a VERY long download(and iPad OS updates can be 100s of megabytes) and the carrier has an interruption in service(router reboots, modem disconnects, etc) iTunes will timeout.
You might want to try updating later in the evening when usage starts to drop off(kids go to bed, people start watching cable instead of Netflix/Hulu) or early in the morning.
The other alternative is to update at a friend's place who might have a better carrier or is on a better subnet

Why can't I connect my ipad to my computer

I have an old G4 and I want to transfer some video files to my iPad. I have it hooked into the USB and I even get the connect sound. But I don't get anything, it even says "not charging".
How can I connect my iPad so that I can transfer files?

You cannot connect the iPad to your computer like you would a hard disk. You get the Not Charging notice because the USB ports on your computer do not provide enough power to charge an iPad efficiently.
The best way to transfer video files from the computer is via iTunes on your computer. Here's the rub, though,
If your iPad 2 is still on iOS 5.1.1 or earlier you can use your G4 for the transfer if it is running OSX 10.5.8. Start iTunes on your computer, connect your iPad 2, select it in iTunes and select Video in the row of tabs on the right.
If your iPad 2 is running ios 6.0 or later you need iTunes 10.7 or later. iTunes 11 is the current version. Unfortunately these recent versions of iTunes require OSX 10.6.8 or later and these versions of OSX only run on intel macs. They will not run on a G4.
Your alternative then might be to email the videos to yourself. Or search the App Store for an app that will help in the transfer of videos.

Why can't I connect my iPad to iTunes?

When I run the iTunes connectivity diagnostic test, it says no USB ports are found. I checked and my pc has the proper usb ports. Also this only a recent problem. I used to be able to connect my ipad with no problem until suddenly I couldn't. I've tried uninstalling then re-installing. I've tried restarting my pc and ipad. I have no idea what else to try.
Btw I have Windows 8 and everything is up-to-date.

Hi guys, please help me. my son's mini ipad cannot be unlocked because the touchsreen is not responding.. help please. thank you.

A reset should help. Tap and hold the Home button and the On/Off buttons for approximately 10-15 seconds, until the Apple logo reappears. When the logo appears, release both buttons.

Why can't I connect my iPad to the Internet on a University campus?

I have already read some of the discussions regarding this problem, however is it something the university should be addressing or is it fixable by going through various settings within the iPad. Can someone who knows of a tried and tested solution please let me know, as an iPad at uni is of no use if it cannot connect to the uni wifi and access the Internet.

Hi,
You will need to provide more details in order for us to understand the problem.
Are you in wifi range? Is school network open or password protected? If it's password protected do you know the password? Etc, etc

OK, why can I not authorize my Windows 7 64-bit computer for iTunes?

I'm entering my AppleID password just fine (the one I'm using to post this, but the iTunes store keeps rejecting it. Any ideas?
BTW, why does the 64-bit iTunes installer program default to installing under Program Files(x86)? I changed it to the other Program Files directory-- is that the cause of my problem above?

is that the cause of my problem above?
Maybe.
iTunes is still only a 32bit program with 64bit drivers.

I am having the same problem, and it started soon after I downloaded the latest update (not sure if that has anything to do with it, but others seem to be having the same problem after updating).
