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 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

iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X

- 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

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 our smartphones connect to wifi?

just had our phone and bb turned on this morning, We have an iphone and huewei blaze, followed all the settings etc but just keeps saying disconnected. The phone settings are all right, seems to be from bt end. Does it just take a while or something? Oh and i have logged into account online. Dont have a working pc at the moment, just logged in on my mobile web. Is this something to do with it?
Much appreciated :-)

Hi leighleigh,
Sorry to see this problem,
It could be channel interference from a nearby router or hub,
This link has some useful information http://forumhelp.dyndns.info/wireless/wireless_conns.html
WiFi has nothing to do with BT's end, only the broadband is managed by BT, they don't have any control over your WiFi,
Hope this helps,
Many Thanks,
Dominic.

Why can't I connect to WiFi?

Why can't I connect to WiFi when asked for a password, but I can connect to the same WiFi if no password is required? When I type in the password, I get the following message, "There was an error joining the AirPort network "Verizon SCH-LC11 d8dd Secure".
When using my PowerBook G3 Pismo, running 10.4.11, I have no problem connecting to any WiFi that does not require a password.
But I get the same error message when a password is requested. I have removed the password requirement from some of my WiFi options, and make the connections and internet functions correctly.

Judging from what you wrote, because there is something wrong with the settings or the password or passphrase. Make sure all devices use the same type of encryption, and make sure you enter the correct password. WRT to this, read

Why does my iBook connect to WiFi better than my much faster Macbook?

Why does my iBook connect to WiFi better than my much faster Macbook?

Because it has a RISC processor. Just brag about all the MHz or even GHz while you are waiting like other Intel users. Using my trusty G4 rather than MBP becase its simply faster.

At your end you will be using your WiFi signal. At the other end the iPhone would be using the 3G cellular signal. The cellular plan would need to be provisioned to allow FaceTime calls over cellular.
