Why has my ipad stopped connecting to the server?

About two days ago my ipad stooed connecting to the web. All the apps and browser pages oome back saying they cannot connect to the server. However I have an phone and a pc that are both connecting to the web fine through the same router. The ipad says it is connected to the router no prob. What next?

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 drooping 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.
Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

Why has my ipad lost connectivity to the AT&T cellular data network after upgrading to iOS 8.1.2? My iPad is model #MD367LL/A, 32 GB WIFI + Cellular, about 2-1/2 years old.

Why has my ipad lost connectivity to the AT&T cellular data network after upgrading to iOS 8.1.2? My iPad is model #MD367LL/A, 32 GB WIFI + Cellular, about 2-1/2 years old. It;s been working perfectly up until now. I have no problem on my home WIFI, or through personal hotspot working through my iPhone 5.
I have worked with AT&T, replaced the SIM card with a new one, and done a backup/restore to factory settings, all with the same result that when I turn Cellular
Data on, with or without Enable LTE, it goes into "searching" mode, or reports "no service". My iPhone 5 works perfectly on iOS 8.1.2, on Cellular. I've browsed the blogs and have tried Apple's suggested fix, all to no result.
Oddly enough, every once in a while I do get connected to the network for a short ime (minutes), but it always returns to "searching".
I've filed a report with Apple, along with a request that they contact me, but no results yet.
Help? (and thank you).

Hello razmee209. Thank you for your response. I spent the better part of yesterday working with Apple Support. They tried their best, to include backing up photos to my HP laptop, backing up the iPad to iCloud, then resetting the iPad in total. Same problem. I restored from the cloud to recover my apps, same problem.
AT&T installed a new sim card - same problem. I spent time with AT&T Support yesterday, too. In both cases, (Apple and AT&T) the support techs who worked with me were extremely polite, courteous and helpful to the best of their abilities, but I think the problem lies deeper, and nobody at Apple is admitting they have a problem with iOS 8, that I'm aware of.
I didn't have this issue before I upgraded to iOS 8.1.2.
Everything else with the iPad works fine: WIFI, Personal Hotspot, email, all my apps, etc.
In browsing the web for this issue I see that many other folks have the same problem. I filed a report with Apple this morning, requesting that they contact me, but no word yet. I was going to go to iPhone 6, and had been considering the iPad Air 2, but I see reports of this problem with those units as well.
At this point I don't think I'll be spending any more money with Apple, at least not till this issue is resolved.
Thanks again for your response and suggestions.

My imac has just suddenly stopped connecting to the net

My mac just radomly stopped connecting to the internet last week and i cant get it to reconnect again. All the other devices in my house connect perfectly. i use an O2 home hub and have had no problems for a year with this so im guessing its the mac. my girlfriend recently bought a printer and plugged it in next to the mac but it isnt connected, is there any chance this could be blocking the wireless signal? thanks mike

Hi Mike...
Try turning off the router for about 5 minutes, then turn it back on then restart the Mac.
If the printer isn't setup for printing with the Mac, I doubt that's the problem.

Ipad not connecting to the server

Why does my ipad now tell me it cannot find the server?

We're you getting a message in Safari saying that it could not connect to the server?
If you are talking about your home WiFi network and you can't get online, try rebooting your router. Unplug it for about 30 seconds and then plug it back in.
You can also try Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Setrings and start over again with your network.

Why is my icloud not connecting to the server?

I haven't been able to send or receive mail since September 5, 2012. It's saying that it can't connect to the server. What is the problem, and how can I fix this issue?

Apple seems to be having issues. Just wait it out and come back in a bit. If the issue is indeed on their end, nothing you can do with your device can fix it.

Why has my iPad stopped using my phone number to send and rec iMessages?

A few problems since IOS 7 came out. I updated my phone to this miserable IOS7 and now my ipad will not send or receive texts on my ipad. I also do not have the option of putting the phone number in when it was there before. What happened?
I also can not text my sister after she switched back to android from iphone. My phone keeps defaulting to imessage. My ipad will not text her at all. (but that may be a thing about imessage not liking texting.) Which brings up what good is imessage if it will not send a text to someone? All my other devices, blackberry, samsung etc text between themselves regardless. Apple should allow imessage to realize it is not an apple phone and text to it.
So, what is the deal?

Apple ipad 'Cannot connect to the server'

When using Mail, iPad says ' Cannot connect to server'
it's an icloud mail account.
The original ipad has internet connectivity.
I've set up the same account on a different ipad and no probelms.
I've tried deleting the acocunt and reinstalling but still the problem persists
Any ideas?

I haven't updated yet. Apple's download servers have been too busy. Did you know you can update via wifi instead of connection to your computer?
Here's a description of the update. Not a lot of changes for iPad 1/2.
iOS 5.1 Software Update
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1504
You can wait a while & update at your convenience.

But my current sim card works just fine in my friends iphone 5...wouldnt the logic follow that the problem is with the device itself (the phone) and not the card?
