Getting page not found on iPad for WiFi verification

So I just upgraded the iPad to IOS6. I connect to my wifi network, it connects, pulls up the Apple page (the one that usually pops and disappears, I guess it's checking something on that page to verify network connection). Instead of going away, it's displaying Apple's 'Page Not Found' and on the top bar it says 'www.apple.com' and 'Log in'. I have no log in for my router, I'm clearly online as I can browse all of Apple's website, yet the ONLY option I have is click 'cancel'. I used to remember you can tell it not to do a network check, I can't even turn that off.


Any one else seeing this?

Having the same Issue, I updates to IOs 6 and have the following errors. The Wifi connection works fine till the time i am working on it. The moment it is inactive for sometime... the wifi connection is lost and then it takes few attempts of Switching On and Off the wifi to get it starting again. This has been very frustrating. you cannot keep apps for updating as well as the connection drops.

-> Safari keep giving page not found

-> ItunesU has not openend since then

-> IBooks has not been updated even after repeated attempts.

I am having the same issues. My phone won't connect to wifi and neither does my iPad 2 after iOS 6. I can't even tether my iPad to my phone. I reset my network settings which fixed the problem for a day but the issues are back. My iPad is useless. I've tried all the tips online and they don't work. And if they do work, it's only temporary. I get having bugs but this is just ridiculous. I'm going back to the old os.

After the iOS6 "upgrade" my wife's iPhone 4, my iPhone 5 and my iPad 3 are all "bricks" with horrible WiFi performance. it appears that the devices connect to WiFi networks (it's not just my home wireless setup). however, downloads take two or three tries with error messages about not being able to connect to servers. On the same network my ancient Dell laptop blazes through loading the same web sites. Truly shameful.


Apple has finally graduated to Microsoft status; they're so big they think they can just push garbage out to users who will be dazzled by feature count. What happened to the famous Apple quality?

I had the same problem, iphone4. I posted my fix long ago. It worked for me. That said, things my be going sideways at apple. I've used a Mac since '88 and have always love the user interface. I think the problem now is share holders. They want a new OS be it Mac or iOS every year with 200+ new features. Apple is now massive, their day base of users being one of their most valuable assets. However, my MacBook late 2011 i7 SSD with mountain lion and iphnoe4 with 6 are running seemlessly. As a normal photoshop/safari user, I find mountain lion fast.


Maybe the trick is to do a clean install from a USB stick of 10.8.2. I never simply 'update' my Mac OS.

All of these "Apple may be going off course" or "Apple has finally lost it" type of comments are hilarious. I can't stop laughing. As if these types of problems have never happened before? Please...there are a litany of them, it's just now that Apple is so big, everyone seems to be waiting for them to fall. Stop waiting. There are going to be bugs with technology. If they didn't release software, people would be crying bloody murder that Apple is so big it doesn't care. They release it with bugs and people cry bloody murder. Great problem to have!
