Why is my iPad's wi-fi constantly going on and off but is still connected?

Sometimes I am using Skype to call people, but in the middle of the call, the call drops. The wi-fi is still connected, but the app says I am offline. I'm pretty sure it's not a bug in the app but rather the iPad's hardware. I've browsed the web sometimes having to disconnect and reconnect my wi-fi radio. Is anyone experiencing the same problem?

Wife and I just bought the new IPad 4. We are experiencing wifi issues where we show full bars but cannot get to websites or access anything on the Internet. We use our IPhone 5 at the same time and we can get on the Internet just fine. What a bummer to have to call Apple about this.

HT3180 My apple tv box no longer turns on, the white light constantly flashes on and off but no signal to my tv. All devices still pick up airplay but not actually playing. Restoring the box has made no difference, any clues?!

Was the restore done via iTunes?

If so then you may need to take it to Apple.

My wifi constantly goes on and off is it something to do with the iphone or the wifi

MY wifi constantly goes from wifi to 3G, is it something to do with the wifi or the iPhone Plz help its really pecking my head!!

it's a hardware issue. the solder process was flawed (possibly on purpose) between the Wifi/Bluetooth chips back to the motherboard. I say possibly on purpose because it is clear that they did not power it enough for long term sustainability, perhaps in hopes that it would fail right as your contract was up so that you cannot use your phone on wifi and thus have to buy the newer phone. to verify if you indeed have a hardware problem and not a software issue as some claim, first turn your phone off, put it in a ziplock back and put it in the freezer for 20 min. the cold will shrink the fissured solder and reestablish the power required to work your wifi. it is only a temp fix but it verifies that it is indeed a hardware issue and not a software issue (oddly enough most of the wifi hardware issues occur after updating. i believe this is because of a change in power/use of wifi solder channels). a way to fix this requires you to take your phone apart down to the motherboard and simulate the industrial baking process used to solder the connections.
all in all, i must say that this wifi issue has really left me with a bad taste in my mouth and was the deciding factor in my not purchasing an iPad.

If you have done all of the above i would call Apple care or setup an appointment at a Apple Store for them to diagnose and replace.

Try reset iPad
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
Note: Data will not be affected.

Why is my ipad keep restarting almost every 5 minutes and also why is the screen not rotating.

Nobody here can answer a question like that. Try rebooting your iPad and see if that helps.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

HT1695 I am at home and have a wireless router on my DSL line. I have been using the iPad for about a month without difficulty and tonight it will not connect. I do not understand why and yes, I am electronically challenged so be gentle!

I recently purchased an iPad after using a laptop and PC for years. I use a wireless router connected to a DSL line at home and have been using the iPad without difficulty for about a month and tonight it will not connect to the Internet. There is not a problem with the DSL or router. I am using the laptop now. Could someone please give this eectnically challenged individual assistance?

1. Turn router off for 30 seconds and on again
2. Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings

I upgraded my iPad 2 (3G) to the new OS8 and I can no longer connect to 3G. All the settings on the iPad are correct. It just shows that it's searching for a signal. I'm in an area where my signal (pre OS8) was very good in strength. Please help!

My iPad 2 doesn't have the app store I have looked in everything, reset the home screen and the restrictions is off but I still can't find it.

If you got the iPad from your school, and the Installing Apps restriction is 'off' but greyed out (as you 've said here https://discussions.apple.com/message/16137325#16137325) so that the App Store app is hidden, then it's likely that your school has set the restriction - you will need to ask them to remove the restriction for you.

I dont get sound for videos, games and music but ringtone still works. When i press volume buttons on side of phone i only get the picture of the nell and no little dots underneath. This is on my iphone 4s and ipad. It happened at the same time.

Recurring theme with the 4s losing alerts except for the phone ringing. Most complaints seem to center on the 7.1 upgrade. The fix is dodgy, putting in a charger, playing a you tube video then pulling out the charger and wiggling it until you get the sound back. When you get the sound back, the volume buttons start to work again. Alternate solutions involve cleaning the docking port with a toothbrush, running a pick over the electrodes etc.

I want to know what happens when the iPad battery gets fully charged and the charger is still connected

When the battery gets fully charged, and the charger is still connected to the iPad, does the iPad use power from the battery or does it use the charger?

Install Battery Doctor and see Battery Status or Charging

System Status will indicate charged when charging circuit is disabled

Did you try downloading the movie from iTunes on your iPad? I know it takes longer but I'd try that.
Also try to reset all settings.
Settings > General > Reset. Reset all settings.

works ok on mine - (5, 7.1.1). Try again. with previews set to none, mine shows the sender and the subject line only. (you cannot get rid of the subject) with the other settings, you get the sender, subject line and however many lines you selected.

Youtube app not working "error tap to retry" on ipad 4. Tried holding home button and off together and delete and download agin both didn't work

Oh phooey. I had the same problem, so I decided to delete and reinstall. Only to discover that Google's YouTube app no longer supports anything below iOS 6. This is a problem since I'm running an original iPad.
Yes, I realize that my version of iOS still has the old YouTube app. But it's not the same. For one thing there are a lot of ad-supported videos that will only play in the new app.

Sound constantly goes up and down.

i have pavilion dv6 notebook My wireless goes off and will not turn back on and my sound constantly goes up and down.can anyone pls tell me the solution for this problem?

Hi,
Try a Hard Reset as follows.
Shut down the notebook, unplug the AC Adapter and then remove the battery. Hold down the Power button for 30 seconds. Re-insert the battery, plug in the AC Adapter and start the notebook.
