	Basis of Presentation and Recent Accounting Pronouncements
	Basis of Presentation
	The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of iPass Inc. (the “Company”) and its wholly owned subsidiaries. The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements that accompany these notes have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) consistent in all material respects with those applied in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as of and for December 31, 2013, were derived from audited financial statements but do not include all disclosures required by GAAP. The interim financial information is unaudited but reflects all normal adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary to provide a fair presentation for the interim periods presented. This interim financial information should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and the Notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full fiscal year or any future periods.
	The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results that the Company experiences may differ materially from those estimates. Estimates are used for, but not limited to, the valuation of accounts receivables, other long-lived assets, network access costs, stock-based compensation, legal contingencies, and income taxes.
	The Company reports comprehensive income (loss) in a single continuous financial statement within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss). The Company’s comprehensive income (loss) is equivalent to its net income (loss) because the Company does not have any transactions that are recorded through other comprehensive income (loss).
	The Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss) have been reclassified for all periods presented to reflect discontinued operations treatment. (Refer to Note 11 for discussion related to Divestiture of Business Segment).
	Recent Accounting Pronouncements
	In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2013-11, Income Taxes: Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists. ASU 2013-11 requires the unrecognized tax benefit to be presented as a reduction of a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, or similar tax loss or tax credit carryforward, except that, if a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss or a tax credit carryforward is not available at the reporting date to settle any additional income taxes that would result from the disallowance of a tax position, then the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented as a liability.  ASU No. 2013-11 is effective prospectively for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2013. The adoption of ASU No. 2013-11 has not had a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]	'
Fair Value	'
	Financial Instruments and Fair Value
	Fair value is the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction in the principal or most advantageous market between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability.
	Fair Value Hierarchy
	The three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value are as follows:
	•	Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
	•	Level 2—Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities; and
	•	Level 3—Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
	The recurring fair value measurements of these financial assets (excluding cash) were determined using the following inputs at September 30, 2014, and December 31, 2013, respectively:
		As of September 30, 2014								As of December 31, 2013
		Fair Value						Total		Fair Value						Total

	There were no transfers between Levels 1, 2, and 3 from December 31, 2013, through September 30, 2014. As of September 30, 2014, and December 31, 2013, the carrying amounts of accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, approximated fair value due to their short maturities.

	Accrued Restructuring
	During the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company announced restructuring plans (the “2009 Plans”) to reduce operating costs and focus resources on key strategic priorities, which resulted in a workforce reduction of 146 positions across all functional areas and abandonment of certain facilities and termination of a contract obligation. As of September 30, 2014, the Company had remaining lease payments of approximately $0.2 million, which were recorded at fair value at the time of restructuring plan was announced. Management made assumptions in determining the fair value of the lease liabilities. The discounted cash flow valuation technique used to determine the Level 3 fair value included inputs, such as the future rent payment schedule, the discount rate and sublease income based on the executed sublease agreement through the end of the lease terms.
	During the first quarter of 2013, the Company announced a restructuring plan (the “Q1 2013 Plan”) to re-align its cost structure to focus investments, resources and operating expenses on the Company’s growing Open Mobile business, which resulted in a workforce reduction of 16 positions across all functional areas and termination of a lease contract. As of September 30, 2014, the Company had completed the majority of cash payments.
	During the third quarter of 2014, the Company announced a restructuring plan (the "Q3 2014 Plan") to re-align its cost structure as a result of the divestiture of its Unity business, which resulted in workforce reduction of approximately 20 employees worldwide and the exit of certain leased facilities. The Company recorded approximately $0.7 million of restructuring charges during the current fiscal quarter.
	The following is a rollforward of restructuring liability for the Q3 2014, Q1 2013, and 2009 Plans:
		Three Months Ended September 30,

	Vendor Financed Property and Equipment
	In October 2013, the Company acquired enterprise database software and infrastructure hardware. This purchase was financed through the vendor and is to be paid over three years. In April 2014, the Company acquired additional enterprise infrastructure hardware which was financed through the vendor and is to be paid over two years. The total purchases financed by the vendor were approximately $3.1 million. Since October 2013, the Company made approximately $0.8 million of principal payments, and as of September 30, 2014, approximately $1.2 million and $1.1 million were recorded to accrued liabilities and vendor financed property and equipment, respectively, based on the payment terms. The Company expects to pay principal payments of $0.3 million, $1.1 million and $0.9 million in the last three months of 2014, and in fiscal year 2015, and fiscal year 2016, respectively.
	As of September 30, 2014, $1.1 million of vendor financed property and equipment is recorded at cost, which approximates a Level 3 fair value, and is included as long-term liabilities in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. The Company made assumptions in determining the fair value of the vendor financed property and equipment long-term liability. The discounted cash flow valuation technique was used to determine the Level 3 fair value including inputs such as the future payment schedule and a market discount rate.

	Legal Proceedings
	The Company is involved in legal proceedings and claims arising in the ordinary course of business. While there can be no assurances as to the ultimate outcome of any litigation involving the Company, management does not believe any such pending legal proceeding or claim will result in a judgment or settlement that would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
	In the ordinary course of business, the Company may provide indemnifications of varying scope and terms to customers, business partners, and other parties with respect to certain matters, including, but not limited to, losses arising out of breach of such agreements, services to be provided by the Company, or from intellectual property infringement claims made by third-parties. Certain indemnification agreements may not be subject to maximum loss clauses. If the potential loss from any indemnification claim is considered probable and the amount or the range of the loss can be estimated, the Company accrues a liability for the estimated loss. To date, claims under such indemnification provisions have not been significant.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]	'
Net Loss Per Common Share	'
	Note 9. Calculation of Net (Loss) Income Per Share
	Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to shareholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to shareholders by the weighted average number of diluted shares outstanding. Unvested participating securities that vest based on service are included in the weighted daily average number of shares outstanding used in the calculation of basic net income per share and excluded in the calculation of basic net loss per share.
	When an entity has a loss from continuing operations, including potential shares in the denominator of diluted per-share computations for continuing operations will generally be antidilutive, even if the entity has net income after adjusting for discontinued operations. That is, including potential shares in the denominator of the earnings per share calculation for a loss-making entity will generally decrease the loss per share and, therefore those shares should be excluded from calculations of diluted earnings per share. Accordingly, for all periods presented, basic weighted-average shares outstanding were used in calculating the diluted net income (loss) per share.
	The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net (loss) income per share:
		Three Months Ended							Nine Months Ended
		September 30,							September 30,

Discontinued Operations	'
	Divestiture of Business Segment
	On June 30, 2014 the Company entered into an agreement and completed the sale of its Unity business segment for gross cash proceeds of approximately $28.1 million, and accrued approximately $2.2 million of transaction costs. Approximately $1.5 million of transaction costs were paid in the third quarter of 2014, and the remaining balance is expected to be paid in the fourth quarter of 2014. The Company recorded a gain on sale of approximately $25.0 million. The gross cash proceeds included $1.4 million that was placed into an escrow account to cover any contingent claims made by the buyer against iPass through June 30, 2015 and is recorded in Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. In accordance with ASC 205-20, the results of operations for the Unity business segment are reported as discontinued operations.  The Company did not have any assets held for sale as of December 31, 2013.
	Concurrent with the sale of its Unity business segment, iPass and the buyer entered into a transition services agreement pursuant to which each of the parties will provide certain transitional, administrative, and support services to the other party for a period up to six months, which may be extended upon mutual agreement. Such services provided to the buyer by iPass will be recorded as contra-expense since the Company will be reimbursed for the service cost incurred. Activity associated with transitional service is not considered significant relative to the condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company.
	Income tax expenses was recorded in discontinued operations for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 of approximately $1.3 million and $0.4 million, respectively. Income tax expense was recorded in discontinued operation for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, of approximately $5.8 million and $1.0 million, respectively. This primarily reflects tax expense on discontinued operations with an offsetting benefit in continuing operations of $1.4 million and $0.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively and $5.8 million and $1.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The offsetting tax benefits in 2014 represent the Company’s ability to utilize net operating losses to offset tax associated with the gain on the sale of the Unity business.
	The following table presents the revenues and components of discontinued operations, net of tax.
		Three Months Ended						Nine Months Ended
		September 30,						September 30,
		2014			2013			2014			2013
	Revenue	—			8,330			15,458			25,427

	Income from discontinued operations, net of tax	$	(1,296	)	$	723		$	20,693		$	1,845
	The table above excludes certain shared overhead costs and transfer pricing adjustments that were previously allocated to the Unity business segment in the historical iPass consolidated financial statements that were filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") as ASC 205-20 prohibits the allocation of general overhead costs to the discontinued operation. The provisions for income taxes primarily reflect tax expense on discontinued operations including the gain on sale, which is mostly offset by benefit in continuing operations.
