Why cant i use the internet if my wifi says it has a strong signal

my wifi at home is connected to my ipad and it shows a strong signal, but it wont work for any apps that need internet or the web browser. how can i fix this promblem ive tried reseting the network settings and that worked for like a minute and now im having the same problem

You may think you are connected to the internet, but maybe not. Click on Safari and see if it connects.

Additional things to try.
Try this first. 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.
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.

After I did a reset my gps apps will not receive a signal from my remote GPS receiver. The GPS app wa working fine before. I reloaded the app but no luck. My remote GPS receiver is paired to my iPad and has a strong signal.

Hi there.
Thank you very much for your quick reply, it's really appreciated.
No need to apologize, I actually found the phrase "If your iPad ever craps the bed" amusing under the circumstances
I checked the list of installed apps like you suggested (Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Show all apps) but this problem app is not in the list. I have also swiped down on the home screen to search for it, but again it does not show.
While it has not let me download the app (and I just tried it again) it has helped me to eliminate a few things from the list of what to try, and I can definitely conclude that it has not downloaded.
I guess I need to fire up my PC and download it / sync my iPad.
Thanks again for your help

See if resetting the photoshop elements 7 preferences clears things up:
Restore all preferences to default settings
Press and hold Alt+Control+Shift (Windows) or Option+Command+Shift (Mac OS) as you start Photoshop Elements. You are prompted to delete the current settings.
New Preferences files are created the next time you start Photoshop Elements.

Why cant i use the filer gallery option in photoshop

Is there any reason as to why I cannot select the Filter Gallery option in photoshop cc. I noticed it is not with all my images.

What do you mean, "not with all my images?"
The menu needs to be made visible via the Preferences - Plug-ins panel.
After that, your image needs to be 8 bits/channel RGB in order to use the Filter Gallery features. Adobe has not updated all these filters to handle deep data (16 bits/channel or higher) images directly.

Why cant I use the screen record feature on quicktime 7.7.2

i have recently got apple QuickTime player 7.7.2 pro. One of the main reasons I got it is because i knew in past versions they had the screen record feature, but on the 7.7.2 pro version it didn't. i was disappointed that it didn't have the feature that the other versions had. before i got it i decided to update the version I had (The one with the screen record feature) and now i wish i didn't update it. I think the screen record feature was cool and i dont know why its gone. Also i am using windows.

QuickTime Player Pro has never included screen capturing features.
QuickTime X (found in Snow Leopard, Lion and Mountain Lion) does include screen capture features.

I have an imac.. Ive already bootcamped it.. The keyboard is okey and also the mouse in windows.. But i cant still use the internet..

I would highly recommend you run a test by trying another mouse with the iMac and see if that fixes it. That would tell you the problem is Not with the iMac itself.
Hope this helps

Why yahoo/gmail retrieval and facebook app so so slow when in WIFI. But using the internet to check for emails and facebook is fast using the same WIFI connection??

Why yahoo/gmail retrieval and facebook app so so slow when in WIFI. But using the internet to check for emails and facebook is fast using the same WIFI connection??

Hi SandyS_VZW,
Yes tried resetting the wifi connection and problem still persist.
Here it is...to make it clear. Connected thru the same wifi at home...
-> emails (yahoo/gmail) and facebook WEBSITES are working fine and fast when using/accessing thru a browser (chrome/samsung browser) - no problem with this.
-> emails (yahoo/gmail) and facebook APP is soooooo sloooww (thru the App). Slow I mean comparing it to using their browser/websites... news feeds/emails refreshing so quickly but not when using the APP installed in Samsung Galaxy Note 4. Slow like - It will take around 5-10minutes just to get your emails and news feed refreshed.
THIS HAPPENS ONLY WHEN CONNECTED THRU A WIFI which has a speed of 10-20mb. It is not happening when connected to the network data/plan.
My wife has the same Samsung Galaxy Note 4 (coming from different provider at&t) - same setup (emails, fb app), same wifi connection, but she's not experiencing anything like it.
Not sure why, I dont want to believe that while connected to a WIFI, Verizon is restricting anything and ******* me off to make me switch to my data plan connection everytime - which is Unfair!
Was there a known issue similar about this case?
thanks,

It is entirely possible your college has decided to block certain websites. It's easy to do.

We have Cox internet on a wireless router.
It doesn't seem to be able to hold the wireless connection.....even a couple hours.
The router sits on the desk next to the computer.
Thanks for any suggestions you have.

I don't have any trouble connecting to the internet once I choose our network from the choices.
The computer just can't remember it.
