Wi-fi says not connected?

I just got home from the Apple Store.  They replaced my iPad because the home button on my old one was not working.  Now that I am home my iPad is saying that it is not connected to Wi-Fi.  What am I doing wrong?

Look at iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections  http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398

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.

    none of this is working.
    internet connection in my house is fine since all other wifi dependent devices work seamlessly

    Do you have your Apple ID entered on your ATV and home sharing turned on both the computer (iTunes) and the ATV?

  • Safari says not connected to internet on certain sites when connection is good and IMG[] images don't show up anymore?

    I recently updated to 10.6.8 from 10.5.x and have been having some issues.  First, Safari will say that my computer is not connected to the internet, but it is.  I can be on YouTube, for example, and then try to go to eBay, and it will say not connected to internet, but I can go to Google and it will be fine without doing anything.  Almost like it cannot connect to the server, but the message is that I'm not connected to the internet.  I can turn Airport off and back on and get on most pages that wouldn't open originally.  It's not site-specific.  Sometimes it's Google, Facebook, eBay, YouTube, forums, etc. and other times those same sites work just fine. 
    The next problem, which I feel is related is that IMG[xxx] images won't open some of the time now on forums that have Photobucket and Tinypic IMG codes inserted into threads.  It will just show the blue box with a question mark.  I think that's because my Safari can't open the image hosting websites because sometimes when I click on the blue box to open the link, it says not connected to the internet and Photobucket seems to be one of the regular problem sites. 
    I've tried clearing my cache, reseting Safari, and a few other suggestions on here from similar problems, but I haven't seen a post describing my same issues exactly.  I have not tried Firefox and would prefer to keep using Safari. 

    Try repairing permissions.
    Launch Disk Utility located in HD > Applications > Utilities
    Select the startup  disk on the left then select the First Aid tab.
    Select:  Repair Disk Permissions
    This can take a few minutes and better to not use your Mac while it's running.
    When it's finished, quit and relaunch Safari to test.

  • Nomad Jukebox Zen Xtra: Nomad Explorer says Not connected ... first time u

    I just bought a Nomad Jukebox Zen Xtra. I used the installation CD to install everything and Windows automatically tried to locate a driver for it but it was not successful, so I downloaded the driver for the Zen Xtra from this website and installed it.
    However, when I open "Nomad Explorer" it shows the player's logo with a red X and says "Not connected". How do I get the player to connect to the computer?
    This is my first time using a Nomad Jukebox Zen Xtra and I have limited computer knowledge, but I know all my USB ports are working.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    -John

    Hi!?I'm having the same problem. I bought the player, but after a couple of weeks I've exchanged it, because of some hardware problem. The original player worked all right, but the new one is not recognized by NOMAD Explorer ("not connected"), and?I also?can't copy files via Windows Explorer. The strange thing is I managed to copy a couple of albums, but then it'sstarted to hang the Explorer. The firmware version is 2.0.03. I reinstalled the drivers and NOMAD Explorer - didn't help. PS: You've got to help me, 'cause my iPod-loving friends laugh at me, so it's my and Creative's reputation we're talking about

  • I hit Forget Network and now cannot get back onto my wireless home network. All of my other computers and iphones are fine.  How do I get the network back?  It shows in my list of networks but when I use the password and try to join it says not connected.

    See if the iPad will accept the password after you restart it. It's worth a try.
    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.
    You could also try a reset as well.
    Reset 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 - let go of the buttons.

  • I have a new ipad2, also an ipad1, with a gateway laptop. I have wireless router with windstream. Able to access my wireless connection on ipad1 and laptop, but can't on ipad2. Will say connected, but get message saying not connected to internet on Safari

    I got an ipad 2 today. Already have an ipad 1 and gateway laptop. Have wireless internet with windstream. I have internet connection on ipad 1 and laptop, but can't connect to internet on ipad2. It says i'm connected, but when accessing Safari, it says not connected to internet. Tried unplugging router and resetting already, still not working. Thanks for the help.

    Thank you for your response.
    I did try turning off the firewall, and reducing all the security levels to a minimum (under Control Panel>Internet Options). Also, I'm using a direct cable from my m/c to the Airport Extreme. But nothing helps. Due to the usage pattern in my family, using the MacBook for configuring the network is not optimal, hence my struggle to do it on my Windows desktop. But if that is the only way to go I suppose I'll have to.
    Subsequent to posting my query, I discovered that Apple had not singled me out, and many others with a Win OS face this problem, too. I would have thought Apple would do a proper job of testing before putting up the Windows version of Airport Utlity on their site.
    But thanks again. Much appreciate it.

  • Hp 7520 gives error message when trying to scan to email. Says not connected to Internet......

    Can anyone help. I can't scan anything! Say not connected to web, but I am!

    Hi Finner6,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums. I see that you are getting a connection error when trying to use the scan to email feature of your Photosmart 7520 printer.
    Please set a manual IP address and manual DNS servers for the printer. I have included a link to another post that has the steps with screen shots on how to do this. Don’t worry that the screen shots are for a Photosmart 7510, the steps are the same.
    If after setting the manual IP address and DNS servers you are still getting the same error message, please call HP’s Cloud Services at 1-855-785-2777 if you live in the USA/Canada region. If you live outside the USA/Canada region please click here to find the Technical Support number for your country/region.

  • The scanner in my MX432 is not working...it always say not connected to PC...

    The scanner does not work!...I was able to use it only once when I bought it...now I want to scan some photos but it kept saying not connected to PC...what should I do??

    Hi smrdhdmom,
    To resolve this, please follow these steps:
    1. Click on the Canon IJ Network Scan icon in the upper right hand corner.
    2. Click on Open Settings.
    3. Click Register Scanner.
    4. The Twain Data Source Name should read Canon MX432 Series Network. Click on the MAC address and then click Apply.
    5. Make sure that the PIXMA MX432 has a checkmark next to it in this list.
    6. Click OK. Once the MX432 is selected, please make sure that the MX432 is selected in MP Navigator as well.
    To do this, please follow these steps:
    1. Open your Applications folder, click on the Canon Utilities folder and then open the MP Navigator.
    2. Click on the Preferences button.
    3. The PIXMA MX432 that should be selected is the network attached, not the USB attached. The network PIXMA MX432 will be named PIXMA MX432 (xxx) with the mac address of the unit in parenthesis, just as it appeared in the Canon IJ Network Scan Utility.
    4. Click OK. Scanning should now be possible over your network.

    unable to update to 6.1.1; keeps saying not connected to internet when in fact i am

    This is what worked for me: Double tap your home button to bring up the programs running in the back ground, press and hold so they show the red close option and close all programs.  After that shut your iphone down and power back on.  Immediately go to General>Software Update and it should work.  Good Luck

    this will wipe out any wi fi connections, and you will need to rejoin the network and re-enter the password.

    How much free space on the startup disk?
    Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. Make sure you have a minimum of 15% free disk space.
    If you have anti virus software installed, that could be a factor.
    Try troubleshooting third party plugins. Safari: Unsupported third-party add-ons may cause Safari to unexpectedly quit or have performance issues
