Hi folks  can anyone help us - we were connected wirelessly to our iPad using a linskys router but then a friend came to stay; she also connected successfully wirelessly, but since then we have been unable to reconnect the iPad wirelessly. thanks!

Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html

  • Apple, please fix your connectivity problem for the iPad Air 2! Your OS 8.2 did nothing to fix this!! Very frustrating to not be able to connect to wifi some days!

    can someone from apple please address the wifi connectivity problems with the iPad Air 2??

    thank you for responding. My specific wifi issue is that my connection will disconnect then reconnect in a matter of minutes of each other. After an hour of this back and forth dance of connections it finally stays disconnected. I can go two weeks without  this issue then it will start up again for a day or 2. I have done all the basic troubleshooting.. Including checking and restarting my modem and router. Our iPad mini does not have these issues. None of our laptops/iPhones or xbox have connectivity issues. I have found many other iPad Air 2 users complaining of the same iconnection problems on various blogs. One blog had even discussed the ios update and how they were surprised it did not include a bug fix for this connectivity problem.

  • WiFi Internet connectivity problems after upgrade to 10.8.4

    After upgrading to MacOS 10.8.4 I am facing regular interruptions to my WiFi internet connectivity. Periodically the internet connectivity is lost and the only way to fix the problem is to turn WiFi off and on again. This happens frequently when I am downloading files at using big bandwidth (more than 1.5-2 MB/s). If I use assist me on the Network preferences tab, it displays an ISP error when the connectivity is down, however I am certain that I do nota have any kind of ISP or router issue since at the same time I have WiFi internet connectivity from my iPad mini, iPhone 4S and Samsung Galaxy S3. Therefore it should be a 10.8.4 issue

  • Wifi problems.  I am using my ipad connected to a secure server.  I keep having connection problems.  My ipad shows I am connected, but I can't use the internet at all.  I keep getting a not connected message.  Help

    I am using my ipad on a secure network.  I have problems staying connected.  It shows I'm connected with full bars but I can't use the internet.  I turn the wireless off, reset the network and turned off the ipad, but this problem keeps happening. (Its been going on about 2 weeks)  Any ideas?

    Sayingyou went through all the steps of fixing provides us with little information see we do not know what step you tried.
    - Have you reset your iPod:
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Powered off and then back on your router?

  • IPhone 6 keeps getting kicked off wifi - No connection problems though

    So I've been having this problem with my iPhone 6 wifi ..
    I'm currently going to Texas Tech University for college, and they have campus-wide free wifi for students (after supplying login information). Now when I connect to their wifi network, I connect with no problem.  However, if I wait 4-5 minutes, I'm kicked back to LTE.  I have no connection issues though, as I can go back into settings and reconnect to the TTU network with no problems.
    I asked some IT guys at the school, and they said they "weren't sure" exactly why it was happening, though they guessed saying, "Your phone bumps you off wifi automatically in order to save battery life." -- Is this true? Is there some way I can change this so I stay on wifi when I'm on campus?
    I've tried turning my phone on & off, same thing happens. Likewise, this same issue happens when I'm home at my apartment trying to connect to my own wireless server.
    Any ideas / suggestions?
    Thanks!

    Yes, that would be it. It has to do with the way the IT department has the Wi-Fi setup. This prevents people from coming by the school, parking the car and using their Wi-Fi. You have go log in to use it. There is a way for them to set up the Wi-Fi to be what is called persistent, so when you disconnect when the phone goes to sleep, it will connect again when it wakes up, but they may not want to do that. We have that at our college, but that is only for certain users and has a different network SSID. Unfortunately, you are going to have to live with the way they have it set up and log in as requested. Take care.

  • Wifi / browser connection problem with IOS 6

    With IOS 6 and iPad 3 or Iphone 4, I can't connect to my enterprise wifi anymore.
    I connect to the network without any problem. But afterward, within Safari where I'm have to put login and password (trapeze networks btw), it blocks on "submitted" and don't proceed further.
    While with IOS 5.1.1 it worked perfectly and with my Blackberry, I don't have any problem today. I suppose a IOS 6 bug...
    I tried to put the proxy http on auto.
    I tried to reboot the idevices.
    Both without any improvement.
    Any idea?

    These steps/ workarounds were defined as follows for the difficulties experienced with IOS6 clients.  These have been tested using Juniper / Trapeze MSS software version 7.6.x and above
    1.  Set web-portal ssl-mode <none/full>
    Was to set the ssl mode to none or full(both work OK for the IOS6 devices)
    Since there are concerns with the security, please try if the ssl-mode turned to full brings a change.
    2.  Set web-portal force-html-login mode disable
            This command requires users to login through a Web portal page. The current implementation of Web portal on the Juniper WLC/Trapeze MX includes specific handling of Apple's iOS devices. When a request for for this URL is sent, the WLC responds with a spoofed HTTP response including the anticipated 'Success' page contents. This was implemented as a workaround to an earlier problem with older versions of iOS. In the current iOS, if the   requesting device does not get the anticipated response the iOS device. automatically opens a Web browser interface and then the web-portal login page.
    Juniper engineering are anticipating the fix on the next maintenance release of the MSS. 

  • Ipad2 with wifi WEP connectivity problems

    Please anybody could help me to get connected my ipad2 to a wifi wep. The ipad recognizes the wifi but not able to connect... Thanks

    This is from the Apple WiFi trouble-shooting document: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
    - If you are using WEP security and have multiple WEP keys on your Wi-Fi router, try configuring your Wi-Fi router to use only a single WEP key in key index 1.
    - Consider using WPA or WPA2 instead. WPA and WPA2 encryption protocols are newer, more effective security options for wireless networks than the older WEP protocol.
    WEP security should really not be used. It has been deprecated by the WiFi Alliance as insecure since 2004 (it can be cracked in seconds by hackers).

  • HT4199 WiFi (DHCP) connection Problem

    I have just bought a new iPAD 3 but could only get it to connect to my home network when I configure the IP address manually?  It doesn't work when I use the DHCP setting.  Everything else works on my router including my daughters iPhone.
    Anyone know what's going on?
    The iPAD works fine in the house but I suspect not much use if I want to go to another location - coffee shop etc.
    HELP!

    The reason I set up a static IP address for my home network was because the iPAD was not getting an IP address whenit was set to DHCP.  I didn't want to configure it this way but didn't have any other choice.
    Anyway, resetting my router to clear out all the expired IP addresses from the DHCP seems to have fixed the problem as this has allowed the DHCP server to respond faster to the iPADs requests and before it gives up and assigns the 169.254.XXX.XXX address.

  • N95 Wifi WPA connection problem

    I recently bought the Nokia N95 and everything is working except the wifi WPA part. I DL the latest firmware (v20.0.015) but that didn't help.
    Everytime i connect with my home wifi lan it asks for a password. It doesn't matter what password i try it says "invalid pre-shared wpa key" So even simple passwords like "12345678" or "merryxmas" don't work. If i change from WPA-PSK to WEP 128 bit WEP key then it works ???
    This must be a N95 error ? I also tried tkip and aes but that didn't help. My Phone AP settings r:
    Network - public
    WPA/WPA-2
    Pre-shared key
    WPA-2 only - off
    Does anybody has a working WPA wifi N95 ???

    If I connect to the PC as "Mass Storage" I can see the phone as a removable disk and go into the file structure, just as I could in PC Suite mode. However, if try to drag and drop a file from my N95 to the desktop the phone bleeps intermittently every 2-10 seconds, the USB connection icon on the phone display will blink in time to the phone bleep. The "Copying" bar on the PC shows the file transfer occurring but extremely slowly. E.g. A 4Mb MP4 showed 3 minutes on the progress bar but after 10 minutes was barely a sixth of the way through.
    It appears that the connection betweeen the phone and PC is only active when the phone bleeps, in the periods of silence there is seemingly no activity. I think this because if I look at the file structure on the phone, while the trasfer is taking place, the window will freeze until the next bleep of the phone.
    Maybe someone can recommend a brand and model USB2.0 PCI card (preferably also with firewire) so that I can buy one that I know works?

  • Nokia 5630 - wifi and connection problems + some s...

    Hi guys,
      I'm experiencing strange behavior in my Nokia 5630. When i got it i added 3 wifi points without a problem to "Internet destinations". But recently, whenever i try to add an wifi access point, it puts it into the "Uncategorised destinations". And i cannot move it to other folder (i select move, and choose Internet, but it throws me out to main menu). Because of this i cannot use new wifi on applications which check the "Internet destinations" for available wifis.
    And few unrelated questions:
     - has anyone had experience with NCP VPN client for symbian?
     - is there a application like SmartConnect for this phone? I think SmartConnect is only for N and E series?
    Thank you

    It is known problem with VPN Access Point on S60 5th phones.
    You may contact NCP VPN developers and see if they may offer some solution.
    Alternatively you may have a look at another VPN client for S60 3rd/5th. It is not IPsec VPN like NCP, this is PPTP VPN Client - SymVPN for S60 3rd and 5th Edition phones.
    This software is also placing created VPN Access Point into "Uncategorized Destinations", but  you can move this Access Point to any needed Destination and therefore you can use it with another software on your phone .

  • TS1389 Similar problem with our iPad.  Apps purchased with "old" USR name that is not an email address can not be updated.  Free Apps update OK, but purchased ones show box asking for the non-email USR ID which Apple no longer recognizes.  HELP

    Have tried to get Apple Tech Support and local Apple techs to deal with this problem to no avail.  Apple store "genius" throws up hands and says nothing can be done.  Root of the problem seems to be that the old non-email AppleID is stuck in their system creating a catch22 that it appears as the account purchasing Apps, then is not recognized as a valid ID, and then disallows any attempt to change it to a recognized email address.
    Consequence is that Apps appropriately purchased can not be updated.  Apple store advises us to delete them and repurchase, but this seems more Windowsian than Applian.  Any Ideas??

    Hello J_DougBC,
    Thank you for posting in the Apple Support Communities.  I found an article that addresses Apple IDs that are different than the Primary Email Address on the account.  You will need to go to https://appleid.apple.com/ to "Make your Apple ID and email address one and the same."
    If your Apple ID and primary email address do not match, or they match but the email address is unverified, you can edit them.
    1. Sign in to My Apple ID to manage your account information.
    2. If you want to add and verify an email address that matches your Apple ID, follow the dialog box that says "Make your Apple ID and email address one and the same." This will automatically unverify that email address from any other Apple ID for which it was previously verified.
    3. If you want to change your email address to one that does not match your Apple ID, click Edit next to your Primary Email Address. If this email address is already associated with another Apple ID, you will need to sign in with that Apple ID and delete it before you can add it to your preferred Apple ID.
    Note: If you have an @me.com or @mac.com Apple ID and primary email address, you cannot edit your primary email address once it has been verified. To change your @me.com or @mac.com primary email address to another email address, contact Apple Support for assistance.

  • We have noticed a problem with our Ipad.

    Has anyone experienced this issue with their Ipad? The Ipad clicks as if taking a photograph/image and the screen closes down.When reopened it is ok but continues to do this. When charging we can here it clicking as well. When switched off it will switch itself back on.
    Any advice?

    Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
    Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after the iPad shuts down, then press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
    Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds). Ignore the "Slide to power off"
    Note that an iPad will switch on (from sleep) it a notification has arrived.

  • WIFI random connection problems when connected to Cinema monitor

    This is macbook pro purchased prior to 2008. I use an external cinema monitor in my office at home. Recently when I start the laptop with monitor connected I cannot get a airport connection. If I disconnect the monitor and restart downstairs I get an automatic airport connection.
    I've changed channels on airport to CH 4 since we use cordless phones which I've read are on CH 11.
    If I retart laptop downstairs and bring back upstairs and connect to cinema display, i can get airport connection.
    Any thoughts on this? Seems to be a system configuration issue?

    Odd that in your outline of troubleshooting steps you say you "disconnect the monitor and restart downstairs"...
    Can you start the macbook pro UPSTAIRS where you want to be WITHOUT the cable attached to external display and get CONNECTION?
    Sounds crazy, but mabey it's your signal strength? Sometimes a wireless connection will work at the edge of it's range okay but establishing connection at the same place will not work. Does that make sense?
    Ensure that you can connect to the network when "upstairs" "near the cinema monitor" like you would if it were all working okay but DONT connect it.
    Eliminate the up/down part first.
    Can you elaborate on your network configuration? What Modem, Router, etc are you setup with?
