  • Why wont my iPad connect to the closest/strongest wifi?

    Why wont my iPad connect to the closest/strongest wifi at home? It alway defaults to the one upstairs even when I am right next to our extender in the kitchen?

    Try #5.
    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 droping 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

    Wifi Doesn't Connect After Waking From Sleep - Sometimes increasing screen brightness prevents the failure to reconnect after waking from sleep. According to Apple, “If brightness is at lowest level, increase it by moving the slider to the right and set auto brightness to off.”

    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 wont my ipad connect to wifi ???

    why wont my ipad connect to wifi ???

    You just aren't suppling us with enough information.  Are you trying to connect to the WiFi at home or at work?  Will other WiFi devices connect successfully with that WiFi access-point?  Is your WiFi access point showing up on the list of available access points when you're trying to connect to it from the iPad, or are you being forced to manually enter it in?  We really need more info about your specific situation before we can help.
    Thanks,
    L.

  • Why wont my ipad connect with itunes

    why wont my ipad connect to itunes?

    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
    or
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    - I would start with
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
    or               
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Featurs appin the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
    - New cable and different USB port
    - Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause
    iTunes for Windows: Device Sync Tests
    - Try on another computer to help determine if computer or iPod problem

  • Why wont my ipad connect to face time?

    having trouble connecting to face time

    Some folks have discovered that changing their DNS service fixes FaceTime connection issues.
    The ideal way is to configure your modem/router with DNS service, but often settings in Settings/Wi-Fi on your iPad will override the router settings. Try either of these;
    OpenDNS
    208.67.222.222, 208.67.220.220
    Google Public DNS
    8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4

  • Why wont my netflix connect to HD TV through chromecast. No problem connecting youtube from apple mini ipad

    My apple mini ipad will connect you tube to my HD TV through chromecast.  Why won't my netflix on my mini ipad connect to my HD TV through chromecast?

    Could you specify what brand, model, and ports the TV has?
    Perhaps the maker of the digital TV has customer support.
    Unless that's part of the issue, a general lack of it there, too.
    However remote that may be, a few have a web page with
    pictures of the back or end of their product with ports in view.
    And/or a schematic of the kinds of gremlins they have inside.
    Was your MB/Pro a certified Apple Store refurbished 'special deal' or bought at a retail store from existing stock that may have been an older model?
    In either case, the ability to return the item has a limited duration from the date of purchase; unless there is a technical issue whereby they may choose to repair or replace a failed component or device. Perhaps someone with more experience with the device and adapters will offer their take on what to attempt next.
    Sorry you've had so much trouble...
    Good luck in any event.

    It's probably due to the RAM and processor limitations.

    However I tried connecting my Mobile phone, fathers mobile phone and my iPod through bluetooth and it just does not work.
    You would think Apple to Apple would connect easy, I just wonder why on earth Apple has bluetooth to begin with if it wont connect.
    Bluetooth does not support IOS device to IOS device connectivity.  It's intended to connect IOS devices to such things as wireless headphones, external keyboards and Apple TV, and probably a few more things that I can't think of right now.
