WIFI Issues on New iPad with iOS 6
Hello, All:
Today, as almost all the world, I decided to upgrade my OS from iOS 5.1.1 to iOS 6. All went relativately fine. It was installed fine and also WIFI was working as expected. My problem started when after a few minutes of using WIFI applications, it suddenly loses connection. For example, if I am using Safari, it doesn't open pages anymore. If I am using Apple Maps, it says it is not connected to the internet even when I am seeing the strong signal.
I have to turn off the WIFI and Turn On again and sometimes it misses the configuration and I have to enter the security code again. But after a while it starts working again for a few minutes.
I was checking (but not so much) that when I inactivate Siri, it seems there are no such problems with WIFI, but when I turn on Siri, I start having issues.
So this is my question, do you know what is going on here? is this a general issue? everyone is having same issues?
And most important, is there any solution?
I appreciate all your answers.
PS - I just sent this to a few of my friends in the big hardware review sites, as well as a few apple execs:
Whats up guys? Its your old buddy dom "battleship mtron author , 9 ssd drives in raid 0" years ago. lol
I wanted to fill you in on a HUGE problem with the new ios 6 update.
My iphone 4 updated without a hitch.
My ipad 3 on the other hand has a HUGE PROBLEM. It is essentially a brick without wifi (since the device relies on wifi for just about every task).
There are currently hundreds of a users within the last 2 hours reporting the same error on the apple discussions site.
https://discussions.apple.com/message/19626235#19626235
What happens is simple:
1. Download and install the update on Ipad 3.
2. Try and connect to your normal wifi connection.
3. It will connect for a few seconds and than fail stating "no internet connection available"
4. It is no a brick without wifi accessibility. (unless we revert to ios 5)
I have tried resetting my router. Resetting settings on the ipad. Renewing the ip address both LOCALLY and through the WAN at the cable modem and rebooting all of my networking equipment (ie: router), I even tried doing a complete wipe and re-install of ios 6 fresh. You guys know I am a tech geek from my background and I have tried everything so I just wanted to fill you in on this potential problem for apple.

After I updated my new Ipad with IOS 6, now Map& Dictation icon are not working. please help me
Thank you wjsten for your soon reply. Unfortunately on these days I'm in a country that Apple don't have any retail store here and for sake of time I prefer to fix it myself to DHL it to the nearest country to use its warranty. Do you have any idea how can I fix it? Do you think it's a software issue?

I have a brand new ipad with iOS 6.1.3 and an imac with OS 10.5.8. I cannot update my OS on this machine, but want to sync the new ipad. What can I do?
If it's an Intel Mac, you can upgrade it to Mac OS X 10.6.8.
If it's a PowerPC Mac, you need to use these instructions and/or iTunes Match to put content on the iPad.

New iPad with IOS 6 goes back to sleep during initial bootup.
My new iPad3 after IOS6 upgrade seems to have following issues. I turn on unit with sleep switch. Apple Logo comes up for about 15-20 seconds. Blue "wavey" screen with time at top and "slide to unlock" on bottom appears. "Slide to Unlock" is "frozen" with NO moving "light behind it" and cannot open apps. After about 5 seconds screen goes black. If I tap "home" button, iPad wakes up and blue "wavey" screen is normal with "slide to unlock" with moving lights. And swiping now unlocks and apps appear and all is well.
This started with upgrade to IOS6. I have reset all settings multiple times with no sucess. I did the complete reset to erase all Content and Setttings. I have done the complete restore thru iTunes and still no success. I called Apple Support, unfortunately, I don't have Apple Care (ipad is 3.5 months old) and the rep did not really understand problem and after talking with her supervisor said to go to Apple Store for help. Problem....... Apple Store is a three hour drive from here! I explained to her the problem step by step and she still did not grasp the idea.
I also have a Marware brand case and thought maybe the "sleep" magnet for sleep was causing this, took ipad out of case but still goes to sleep on initial boot up. Any ideas before I make the three hour each way drive?
RobOh, I also did several times the Reset with holding the "sleep-wake" button and the "home" button for the 10-15 seconds for the Apple logo to appear. This also did not clear problem.

New iPad with IOS 6 update cannot connect to apps store?
What would be the fault?
Ok, I've just done that. An error message came up, with half an email address so I changed the year date back and opened passbook.. Then it asked to connect to iTunes, it didn't display the "cannot connect.." message, just showed loading and the wheel going around for ages. Regretting this update, so much hassle. Thank you for your help so far though. Seems like so many people are having the same problems :(

New iPad with iOS 6.
iMessage is not working.
Please help.It seems a lot of people are having this problem...you can try restarting your device, making sure Date & Time settings are on automatic, or changing your DNS to 8.8.8.8. However, most people posting about this problem have tried everything including data resets, restores, etc. and it doesn't seem to work. It seems to be an issue on Apple's end with the servers...hopefully they can resolve it quickly

My wife has a new Ipad and Iphone with icloud. We also have a Imac that has not been upgraded yet that is somehow syncing with her ipad and screwing up the apps. Is there anyway to prevent this. Maybe it is thru mobilme?
I think iCloud isn't coming until this fall and not until iOS 5 is publicly available. Right now there is confusion because all this stuff is still in beta and things are under NDA and may still change.
I'd just set the 3GS up the same as currently. When iOS 5 is available in the fall (and I don't think Apple has specified beyond "fall"), before you update, there should be any number of guides to setting things up and how it will all work. http://macworld.com is a good place to look for such information. -

Upgraded my iPhone 4s and The New iPad to iOS 6 and cannot log into my Universities wifi!
Just as it states above. I just updated my iPhone 4S and The New iPad to iOS 6. I tried logging into my Universities wifi network and normally it requires a login page. The page to login does not load like it used to. The page that does pop up shows a bunch of errors. Not sure why this would be happening. Please help! I highly depend on my iPad. Thanks in advance.
Thank you for the quick reply,
The wifi does not automatically load upon entering the school. I have to select it from the list of available wifi connections. I tried re-booting, clearing my internet settings (cache and cookies and history). I know others at the school running 5.1 are still able to connect so I know there's not an issue on the schools side. I did talk to several iOS 6 owners today and all are experiencing the same issue. -
I have a new iPad with wifi. When I send messages I can see my sons and my husbands but not my phone number. We all have an iPad and all use the same apple ID as iPad the bill. How can I remove their numbers and add mine?
Add another e-mail account to your messages, so people could reach you on that e-mail from messages. As soon as you are online (if you have wifi only iPad) you are able to send and receive messages. i.e. your son can send you a messages from his iPhone addressing it to your (that additional) e-mail address.

Help updated my ipad with IOS 7.0.4. It asks me what language, chooses my wi-fi and then asks.........1 - set up as a new ipad, 2 - restore from iclouds or 3 - restore from itunes but won't restore as not enough memory! What do I do now?
I don't want to lose all my pics, songs etc
Whats my next move as I CANNOT use the ipas at the moment!!!!!!!!Your iPhone's iOS must be same or newer than the one in backups. In your case it is older so you need to update your iPhone and then recover it with backup.

How do I add a new Mail account on my iPad with IOS 6.0.1?
How do I add a new Mail account on my iPad with IOS 6.0.1?
You should not need to enter anything. the iCloud service is one of the preconfigured options.
Just choose the iCloud type from the Add new Mail screen, and enter your details in the next screen.
If you don't have the iCloud option, but instead have the mobileMe option then you will need to update your iOS. -
My old iPad 2 is updated to ios 7.1.2 but I have a new 4 which is only compatible with 7.0.4 from setup. How can I backup my account to the new iPad with this incompatibility?
What you need to do is temporarily set up your new 4. Just long enough to update the operating system. Then you can erase all content and settings - which puts it back to its out of box state, then set it up again, this time restoring it from the backup of your two.
So, using the same Apple ID on both - just to keep things easy - set up your 4. Just basically choose 'set up as new' to activate it, then immediately update the iOS to 7.1.2.
then erase all content and settings, which puts it back to 'llike new'...but the operating system will not reset, it'll remain 7.1.2
Then set it up again, this time choosing to 'restore from the backup' of your 2 and your 4 will be a near clone of your two. -
Hi there - do you know if I will be able to sync a new ipad with ios5 (or even an ipad 3 if it ever gets released !) with a backup from my now defunct ipad2 ios 4.3.3 ?
ThanksYou will be able to restore from the backup of the old iPad and then sync all of the other content but you may need to update a bunch of apps in order for them to work with iOS 5 - but yes - you can use that backup.
