connect the pad to your computer and open iTunes, turn off the ipad, then hold both the lock and the home button for 10 seconds, then release the lock button while continuing to hold the home button until iTunes recognizes the iPad.

iOS Device not recognized in iTunes for OS

1- I don't know what connectify is or even why you would use it. Your router can or should be able to handle wireless communications in your WiFi network. Once you have your wifi network setup under the router then go into settings on your ipad and point it to the right network and it should connect.
2- On your toshiba it should connect on it's own as well, get the wifi connection setup the go into network connection and point it to your wireless network in the house.

Like i said i don't know why or what this other program is or even for but see no good reason to even use it.

Hope this helps

What version of iOS is the iPad running? Try updating the iPad to the latest version of iOS (4.3.1) and see if the wireless situation is better.
To update the iOS, just plug the iPad into you computer and look in iTunes to see if an update is available for the iPad.

there were some random wifi issues with ipads early on but the most recent updates through itunes have corrected those. So best thing would be to connect to your computer and make sure its updated. if that doesn't work, may be a range issue, they dont have the longest reception.

If you want to use the same connection from at&t ..you have to download and install the AT&T communication manager for windows & ..and after that make the connection ..
