" HELP " i pad experts PROBLEM SOLVED

[Roadman]

    Been trying to get my ipad to connect to my hotspot on my puter.     Did everything I could find on google, no luck.  Any ideas.     I reset the ipad, reset my puter, did a hard reboot.

yes, i put in the password, but the wheel keeps spinning. frustrating. I tryed everthing.

Try cycling your hotspot, looks like you are hung up on the WPA password.

1.
Have you tried connecting with another device to  eliminate the hot spot .

2.   Some hotspots are sensitive to the ios version the ipad is running , if the ios is to far back it might not allow it .

3.
Open wifi connections in ipad  , next to you hotspot click the (i) and forget the network .
Then coldstart the ipad and try again.

4.  Last resort !!!!!! Clear all network connections ( you will lose all wifis you hook up to and will need to put passwords back in to access them !!!!!  Last resort....... 

Settings -general- reset network connections    Ipad will restart .

Try and connect again....

Just stuff ive had to do over the years ......

Good luck

 After trying everything, a friend recommended putting the i pad in airplane mode, then out of airplane mode, and trying again. BAM, it worked.

I probably would of suggested that you tell the ipad to forget the network and then try again.  That typically works for me.  Glad you figured it out!
