iPad Update from Troy Harris

We wanted to provide everyone with an update on issues FUSD iPads are currently experiencing:

• iPads randomly disconnect from the FUSD Wi-Fi.
• iPads display a blank white screen when going to the Settings app.

At this time, we do not recommend that teachers/students update their iPad to the latest iOS as this may cause an iPad that was not experiencing issues to then have issues connecting to the FUSD Wi-Fi. 

 

The Technology team is working with Apple Enterprise support and JAMF iPad Management support to help troubleshoot and resolve these complex issues.

 if an iPad is experiencing the Wi-Fi disconnect problem, you might try the workaround steps identified below.  

1. Put the iPad in Airplane mode for 60 seconds and then turn off Airplane mode (if you get a white screen when going into settings, go to the next step).
2. Force a Hard Reset by holding the home button and power button simultaneously (at the top of the iPad) until the iPad restarts and you see the Apple logo. Release the home button and power button after you see the Apple logo.  Check if your iPad is connected to the FUSD Wi-Fi. 
3. If the above solutions do not result in the iPad connecting to the FUSD Wi-Fi network your school LMS will need to wipe the iPad. This will erase all photos and other content stored solely on the iPad, will reload the iOS and apps.

In addition to the Wi-Fi and white screen issues, the Technology team is continuing to work on the Apple Classroom problems and will send updates as progress is being made. Thank you for your patience as we work through these issues.
