Q: I'm in a hotel; I successfully got their WiFi signal; now I click on Safari so I can access the sign up page; it doesn't work on my iPad; it doesn't work on my iPhone; it does work on my MacBook Pro!! FRUSTRATING. help.

This happens too often and ususally it fixes itself by a fluke. Today it isn't.

 

I need to access the hotel's sign in page and two of my three devises won't open the page.

 

Works fine on day and not the next.

 

The signal is strong, but Safari won't open the page I need to put the password in. Any work arounds anybody?

 

Help!

iPad 2, also doesn't work with iPhone 4

    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
