Hi there,
Is the iPad connected to the same wifi router?
On the camera when you chose its wireless mode, did you choose the top middle icon (Smartphone) ?
cheers

Yes. Ipad, camera, and printer are all on the same network. I connected to the phone icon then chose infrastructure. The camera shows a connection to wifi booth and the the wifi booth ap shows im on the network. But the app still wont recognize the camera

Hi Crayphoto,
You said "the camera shows a connection to wifi booth". You mean that on the back screen of the 70D, you can see the words "WiFi Booth", and you accepted this connection?
thanks

OK, that means that the app did connect to your camera.
At this point, you should simply be able to start taking photos with the 70D's shutter button like normal, and after a few moments they should show up automatically on the iPad. Is this not happening?
Things to check at this point: camera is set to JPG, try lowering the resolution of the JPG to as close as the printing resolution of wifibooth as possible (see the settings app -> wifibooth -- by default this is 1800x1200 which is 4x6" at 300dpi)

I got the camera to connect. Then I purchased the full app, now It won't connect again. It's showing everything it should but just not connecting in the app. Help

In the app now (after purchase), near the bottom does it say "Please connect your camera", or something else?
Purchasing the app does not change the way the app works. It's likely that something else has changed, ie. your wifi, your camera settings....
