If the iPad has a sim card for mobile data, turn it off. Check that the ip:127.0.0.1 and the port:11882 is correctly entered. Mount type: SynScan alt/az GOTO. I would go the other way round, SS6 on the Galaxy and SynScan on the iPad.

Don't open SS6 on one device until you've done the alignment with synscan on the other device.

The ip you have appears to be correct, I'm using a WiFi dongle which would explain the difference.
EDIT: Test port 11882.

Have a look at this thread, it seems to be a common problem with iOS. I suggest you put SkySafari Pro on your android Galaxy tablet and SynScan on your iPad. Although the android device will run both at once, unlike the iOs device which will not.

If you are forced to buy SkySafari again to put it on your android device, drop me a pm and I'll sort you out.
