Thread: trouble got me here

I'm just an old, old man (75) with a love for new technologies. I'd go to bed with my iPad but wife might complain. I spend much time cruising and learning on the 'net, downloading ebooks and reading alot. You can do that when you are retired. Now off I go to find out why suddenly I can not get on the 'net. And I'll be back cuz this site has lots of interesting stuff and news.

trouble got me here

I did not get you here!

But anyway.... welcome to the forum. So what's this I hear about you not being able to get on the net? Any more details?

You'll sure learn a lot from this site. And if you like a quick answer someone in this forum run a live help chat. Stick around sir!

Welcome on board let us help you. Life is to short not to have fun with the latest technology. What is wrong with the Internet?

iTunes said there was an upgrade available, I downloaded it and now I can not get on the 'net. I have "renewed lease"; gone to my router and iPad is not listed. On the iPad settings, the router address is not listed nor a domain...is there supposed to be? Is soft reset an option? If yes how?

I just went to the Apple discussion site. Several have my problem. After upgrading to 3.2.1 (I think that's the number), cannot get on the 'net plus other malfunctions I cannot recall. One was advised to soft reset upon which all apps were lost...of course they can be restored but what a pain.

Anyone on this forum who can help us without reset will get a gold star (that and $1.25 will get u a coffee)

I gotta ask...

Is your WiFi turned on?



If it is, do you see the WiFi signal strength indicator in the upper left corner of your screen?



Let's start with these and go from there.

yes, just like always...and what your arrow points to.

turn the router off and back on?

turn the modem off and back on?

Review problem. Downloaded 3.2.1. then could not get on 'net. Tried many courses. Went to Apple site: Apple - Support - iPad - Wi-Fi Assistant. Damn if it didn't work. You reset network settings, select your network, and type in the WEP key. I'm outa here. Hope others in same boat find this.
