Why won't iPad recognize wifi

After upgrade to 6 iPad won't recognize wifi I have always used at home and office. What do I do?  Also lost a game and app center does not show it as purchased.  Now what do I do?

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 or Channel 6 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.

    Why won't iPad video open when emailed to Windows desktop?

    Hey there Ray_J,
    I understand that you want iTunes to be opening every time you connect your phone to your computer. You may wish to adjust this setting in your iTunes preferences to affect this behavior:
    Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically
    Prevent devices from automatically syncing with this iTunes library when a device is connected. To sync a device, click the Sync button when the device is connected.
    iTunes 12 for Mac: iTunes Devices preferences
    https://support.apple.com/kb/PH19595
    If this is unchecked, iTunes will open automatically when you connect an iOS device. Thanks for being a part of the Apple Support Communities!

  • Why won't iTunes recognize some of my songs?

    I can't figure out why iTunes will not recognize over 100 of my songs.  I recently purchased a 7th gen iPod to replace the other one which was stolen.  Never had a problem with anything before the new iPod was installed, registered etc.  Any advice?  Thanks

    Hi dpjakob,
    My interpretation of your question is that iTunes has lost its link to 100 of your songs. When tracks in iTunes display a it means the file cannot be located; it may have been moved or deleted. For this issue, we will need to refer to the following article:
    iTunes: Finding lost media and downloads
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1408
    Alternatively, if your media was downloaded from the iTunes Store, you may be able to download it again free of charge:

  • Why won't Apple allow WiFi sync'g of iOS devices on PowerPC Macs running OS 10.5.8 and latest iTunes?

    Another note, I can't believe that after all of this time with the new discussion boards, you still can't edit posts from any of Apple's iOS devices.
    I posted this on my iPAd and had to just edit this from my Mac because I accidentally posted this question before I finished.
    Royal Pain!

    My Mac connects to the Internet via WiFi through a WifI card. I am running OS X 10.5.8 and the latest update of iTunes to find that Apple has (I think) artificially, not allowed sync'g of iOS devices on 10.5.8. This option is greyed out and says for OS 10.6 and above only.
    Why impose this limit if we Leopard users can still use the latest version of iTunes and have WiFi capabiltity to do so?

  • Why won't ipad connect to internet?

    My home network/internet is working fine for my MBP on a new Cisco router. ipad was also for a week. This afternoon, the ipad stopped connecting via wifi. It shows 3 bars, but won't connect. No recent updates or changes.
    Any others with similar problems or system failures?

    Select the wireless network to view the network settings. Select Forget this Network for the network to delete the network and network settings from your iPad. Follow this by re-joining the network.
    If no change after this, go to Settings > General > Reset and select Reset Network Settings. This will erase all wi-fi networks from your iPad which will require re-joining every wi-fi network that you have access to with your iPad when returning within range of such a wi-fi network.
    If no change after this, try restoring your iPad with iTunes as a new iPad or not from your iPad's backup.
    If no change after this, your iPad has a hardware problem.

  • Why won't iPad and iMac search and pair successfully?

    They both search away and even at times say "connected" at the same time, once a number came up which matched the other and I clicked it but then they went back to searching.

    Nope, that's via iCloud, which is not bluetooth.  If you are using iCloud as your backup of choice, everytime you backup your iPad, your photos and content you've selected in iCloud settings are also backing up to the cloud.  iPad backs up to iCloud everytime it's connected to Wifi, plugged into a wall outlet and locked.  Since you have iPhoto on your iMac, you can see photos which are in Photostream as well.

  • Why won't iMovie recognize canon vixia hv40

    I need to just simply get video off of my canon vixia hv40 with iMovie, but it won't recognize my video camera.

    Are you using a Firewire cable to connect the camera to your MacBook Pro? Ensure also that there are no other Firewire devices connected to your MBP.

  • Why doesn't iPad recognize the Cregle iPen?

    I have been using the Cregle iPen for three weeks.  In the past few days iPad displays a message that the accessory - the iPen - is not supported.  Does anyone know why.  Cregle has not yet responded to this question.

    I have a folder of photos I have renamed.
    Filename is not the same as Title.
    If there is an entry in the title field already, you can change the filename forever, but you're not changing the title. To change the title you need to do that in an app that edits the metadata - like iPhoto, for instance.

  • Why won't Indesign recognize my printer under Windows 7?

    I have reinstalled InDesign on my new computer under Windows 7 and it won't recognize my HP printer.  On selecting the Print option, it lists the printer, but won't print It previously worked fine under XP.  Can anybody advise me?  Is it a compatibility issue or do I need any special drivers? .
    I am using Adobe Creative Suite 3 Design Standard
    Thanks
    Karon.

    KarrieKat,
    Will another program, other than InDesign, recognize your printer? Are you able to print a Windows 7 Print Test Page? Have you installed the drivers certified for Windows 7 as specified by HP? Prior to migrating to Windows 7 from Windows XP did you run the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor? 
    To determine if your current computer configuration will be compatible with Windows 7 please go to the following link: http://tinyurl.com/no4xb7
    Another resource to verify compatibility is available at the Microsoft Windows 7 Compatibility Center located at the following link: http://bit.ly/1gW6Ns
    Also, should you require additional assistance and feedback Microsoft does have an official Windows 7 Support Forum located here http://tinyurl.com/9fhdl5 . It is supported by product specialists as well as engineers and support teams.

  • Why won't iPad connect to software update server?

    I've tried everything! Changing my DNS settings. redownloading iTunes, waiting 3 days, deleting everything off the iPad and it still won't download the 5.1 update. Im on 4.3.3 right now. Please help!

    Can someone please help me!

  • Why won't ipad play music or video files?!

    This started suddenly. Music and videos will load but not move at all (jumps right back to pause as soon as I hit play.) I know they are loaded because I can jump to different frames of video but neither will move at all. Other apps are also snarled (This American Life keeps quitting as soon as I go to certain screens.)
    Have I mentioned that I wish I just bought another PC? Same BS, twice the cost...

    Try this and see if it helps.
    Quit all apps in the recents tray completely and reboot the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
    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.

  • Why won't photoshop recognize my raw files?

    I just bought the brand new Canon Rebel T5i and I was so excited but then when I uploaded my raw camera files to my computer and tried to open them up in photoshop, it said that I needed the latest camera raw update but when I go to Help--> Updates, the updates option is greyed out and I can't click on it. How do I update my photoshop to edit my CR2 Raw files?? I am so lost.
    Thank you

    tried to open them up in photoshop
    Which version of Photoshop? Which operating system?
    The answers to your questions lie in the following links.
    Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
    Camera Raw-compatible Adobe applications
    Why doesn’t my version of Photoshop or Lightroom support my camera?
    The T5i was first supported in Camera Raw 7.4 which is only compatible with Photoshop CS6 and later.

  • Upgraded to a Superdrive...why won't iTunes recognize it?

    I recently had a guy install a Superdrive on my eMac. Now when I got to burn a CD or DVD in iTunes, I get a message that says: "Disc Burner or Software Not Found." Grrr. What should I do?

    If patchburn doesn't fix it, you made need to open the case back up and double check the cables (ribbon and power cable). Make sure the cables are securely and correctly attached (generally the blue end of the ribbon cable goes to the board and the black end to the drive).
    If the cables are secure, then check the jumper settings found on the back of the drive--many drives work best when set to the Cable Select (CS) jumper position; if you don't know which jumper position is CS and it is not labeled by the jumpers on the back of the drive, it generally will be found on a diagram on top of the drive--meaning the drive must be removed and checked or that you'll be doing some trial and error. If other applications recognize the burner and iTunes still doesn't after patchburn and connection settings, try updating or repairing disk permissions through Disk Utility.

  • Why won't ipad calendar info show on outlook after sync?

    I have tried repeatedly to get my ipad calendar info into outlook on my laptop without success. Things from my computer transfer to the ipad but not the other direction!  I think that in the past I was able to do this but not lately.                                                                           

    Sometimes quitting and restarting your devices can help. Quit iTunes, restart your computer, restart the iPad and then try to sync the apps again.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    One other thought, the apps have been updated to work with iOS 5 if needed - correct?
