When you try to access the Internet—by using Safari or Mail for example—and you
aren’t in range of a Wi-Fi network you’ve previously used, this option tells iPad to
look for another network. iPad displays a list of available Wi-Fi networks that you
can choose from. Networks that require a password show a lock icon. If “Ask to
Join Networks” is turned o and a previously used Wi-Fi or cellular data network isn’t
available, you must manually join a network to connect to the Internet.
Forget a network, so iPad doesn’t join it automatically: Choose Wi-Fi, then tap
next to a network you’ve joined before. Then tap “Forget this Network.”
Join a closed Wi-Fi network: To join a Wi-Fi network that isn’t shown in the list
of networks, choose Wi-Fi > Other, then enter the network name. If the network
requires a password, tap Security, tap the type of security the network uses, and
enter the password.
To connect to a closed network, you must know the network name, password, and
security type.
Some Wi-Fi networks may require you to provide additional information, such as a
client ID or static IP address. Ask your network administrator what settings to use.
Adjust settings to connect to a Wi-Fi network: Choose Wi-Fi, then tap next to
a network.
Notications
This setting appears the rst time you open an app, such as Game Center, that uses
the Apple Push Notication service. Apps use push notications to alert you about
new information, even when the app isn’t running. Notications vary by app, but may
include text or sound alerts, and a numbered badge on the app’s icon on the Home
screen. You can turn notications o if you don’t want to be notied, or if you want to
conserve battery life.
Turn all notications on or o: Tap Notications, then turn Notications on or o.
Turn sounds, alerts, or badges on or o for an app: Tap Notications, choose an app
from the list, then choose the types of notications you want to turn on or o.
