I still see a red bar, what do I do? – CTRL+Console

The bar at the top of the iPad is the indicator of connection. If it's red, we've got some work to do.

**Try to connect after each step**

I don't see my computer listed.

Check that both iPad and computer are connected to the same network
Restart CTRL+Desktop (click stop-sign in menu bar or taskbar then choose exit and restart)
Restart CTRL+Console on iPad (double tap home button and swipe the app up to force close)
Restart computer
Read your router documents or ask the manufacturer whether they block multicast messages for zero-configuration networking

My computer is listed but bar remains red.

Make sure you tap the computer name
Restart CTRL+Desktop (click stop-sign in menu bar or taskbar then choose exit and restart)
Restart CTRL+Console on iPad (double tap home button and swipe the app up to force close)
Restart computer
