Why can't I connect to my wifi on my IPAD at home, my laptop does. And yes I have a router and know the password.

Look at iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections  http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
Also try this - Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.

    why can't i connect to my wifi after ios6 update

    It didn't work for me either.
    My Apple store don't know the answer and have suggested that I connect to a computer and do a full reset and install iOS6 again.
    Not too sure how to do that yet.

  • Why can't I connect to my  iphone5 with my iPad, Snote2 or another iPhone5  through wifi as a hotspot, only through Bluetooth?  My Snote2 can't even find the iphone5 as a hotspot.

    Why can't I connect to my  iphone5 with my iPad, Snote2 or another iPhone5  through wifi as a hotspot, only through Bluetooth?  My Snote2 can't even find the iphone5 as a hotspot, even on Bluetooth.
    I've reset, restored and updated everything but no go.

    WiFi is preferable for use as a hotspot to Bluetooth.
    Have you tried Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings?
    If you have and it didn't work I would take the iPhone in for service.

    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.

  • HT5437 When I try to connect to a WiFi network that I need a screen pops up and says "The network you're attempting to join requires you to install a profile on your Apple TV." What does this mean?

    When I try to connect to a WiFi network that I need a screen pops up and says "The network you're attempting to join requires you to install a profile on your Apple TV." What does this mean?

    Yes, home sharing requires both to be on the same wifi network. As it stands access to the network requires the login via webpage, which cannot be done on Apple TV.  You will need to speak to IT in order to grant access for the device.

  • Why can't I connect to my WiFi on my new Ipod touch?

    I just purchased a new 4th generation iPod touch today. I've been trying to activate it, but I cannot connect to the WiFi in my house. I am online able to use my WiFi but I cannot connect to my WiFi from my iPod touch? Help please.

    Does the iPod connect to other networks?
    Does the iPod see the network?
    Any error messages?
    Do other devices now connect?
    Did the iPod connect before?
    Try the following to rule out a software problem:                 
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on the router
    - Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    - iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    - iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    - Restore from backup. See:
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • HT4356 Why can I not print attachments from gmail on my ipad mini, it will print photos and anything from safari

    Why can I not print attachments from gmail on my ipad mini, it will print photos or anything from safari?

    For Gmail attachments, if they are PDF files (as well as many other formats) when you are viewing them on the iPad in Safari there is an option to "Open in iBooks" just below the tab you have open (at the top of the page).
    From iBooks you can print them to a wireless printer easily.
    Hope this helps.

  • Why can't Safari connect to free wifi when other browsers can?

    When  trying to use free WIFI in hotels, the connection requires opening browser  and then the hotel log in screen pops up for me to log in (room number or sometimes just to say "agree")
    Safari does not work!
    I set my network connection to Automatic
    The WIFI address I want shows up so I  can select and the button turns green,next to "Wifi" in Network Preference
    But when I then launch Safari, nothing  ... I cannot log into the hotel's network
    Yet if i launch Chrome or FireFox, immediately the hotel's window pops up  and then I am fully on the Internet (and can use Safari
    I have no firewall or such , so why can't Safari do what other browsers can?

    you can learn a VERY valuable lesson from this question... NEVER publish your email address in public forums of any kind - FaceBook, Google+, chats, etc. - these places are low hanging fruit for nefarious characters - ÇÇÇ

  • Why can't i connect to my airport w my ipad?

    why does my ipda say it is connected to my airport wireless connection but i still have not internet?

    Please perform a Factory Default Reset to clear the old, and possibly corrupted settings on the AirPort Extreme to get it back to original settings. Then, reconfigure the device again using the passwords of your choice.

  • Why can't I connect to iTunes Store on my iPad or iPhone?

    I can't seem to connect to the I tunes store to make an app purchase...please help!

    Apple's servers may be being hammered by people continually checking for the new iOS 7 to be released. I'd expect to see more issues once the update is rolled out. In the meantime try:
    Logout of your account, then log back in.
    Device Reset (won't affect settings/data/music/apps/etc)
    Press and hold (& continue to hold) BOTH the Sleep/Wake button & the Home button.
    Continue to hold BOTH (ignoring any other messages that may show) until you see the Apple logo on the screen.
    Release BOTH buttons when you see the Apple logo and allow the device to boot normally
