Doing a Google Search on Iphone or Ipad chokes my wireless network!
Almost every time I do a google search in safari on my Iphone5 or Ipad2 (happened with ios 5&6), it chokes my wireless network. I am still connected, just not going anywhere. Found this article that said to change DNS entries to googles 8.8.8.8 or 8.8.8.4 but IT STILL CHOKES! Here is the article, describes the problem well. http://osxdaily.com/2012/09/27/iphone-5-wifi-problem-fix/
Help Brainiacs! I am yelling some very unladylike things upon each reboot (which solves the symptom but not the problem and leaves me vexed and mean.)
Any suggestions?
Lisa
Do you have the google app on your phone? if so i saw where somewhere else posted that if they had the google app open and not signed out of google in the app ( and not closed at the bottom, how you double tap the home button and close the apps ) then it would cause this issue also.

After doing a Google search - when I click on a link it does not take me to the correct website. Instead it always take me to some icity webpage. How do I fix this so that Firefox takes me to the correct website that the Google search found?

After doing a Google search, I click on a link and go to the searched web page. When I go back to the Google page using the back button the links I originally clicked on no longer show as "greyed out". Any idea what is going on with the browser?
Type '''about:config''' in the Location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key. When you see a warning, click '''I'll be careful, I promise!''' button.
* Preferences that have been modified are shown as '''bold (user set)'''.
* Preferences can be '''Reset to the default''' or changed via the right-click context menu.
-> In the '''Filter bar''', type '''browser.sessionhistory.max_entries'''
* Right click the preference '''browser.sessionhistory.max_entries''' and click '''Modify'''
* Change value from 0 to whatever you want over 0 (Default value is 50)
* click OK
-> Close the '''about:config''' tab and then Restart Firefox.

My MacBook Pro, running 10.7.3, does not recognize when my iPhone and iPad are on the same network, thus it does not synch. Any ideas?
Try the basics first:
Change your router channel number. Most times this works & is all you have to do.
Disconnect & reconnect your modem. unplug it for about 10 seconds. Plug it back in. Do the same for Apple’s routers. Wait for everything to reboot.
System Preferences>Network
Click the Assist Me button.
In the next window that pops up, click the Diagnostic button & do the necessary.

My iPod touch just stops playing songs automatically.
When doing a google search it sometimes times goes back to the home screen.
Also it sometimes takes several goes before it will accept the charger!
Would appreciate any help, thanks- The charging issue could be due to a poor connection or a problem with the iPod. Try another cable first
- Try the following, it is mainly for the not playing and other problems:
Reset. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory defaults/new iPod
If still problem time for an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. -
Neither my iPhone or iPad will print wirelessly to my Epson 520 wireless printer
Neither my iPhone or iPad will print wirelessly to my Epson 520 wireless printer. My iMac running on OS X 10.6.8 will print wirelessly to the printed but it has an Epson file installed. What do I need to do?
Be sure you're on the same Wi-Fi netwerk as the printer, then you can use this App; http://itunes.apple.com/app/epson-iprint/id326876192?alreadyRedirected=1&mt=8
If it can't find the printer, maybe you can use this App; http://itunes.apple.com/app/epson-printer-finder/id463678539?alreadyRedirected=1 &mt=8 -
Ipad cannot see wireless network
Hi, I have a wireless network using several Cisco 1131AG wireless access points. I have several Mac computers that see the wireless SSID and connect to the internet wirelessly. However, Ipads and Iphones don't see the wireless network. They cannot see the SSID at all. I have tried ipad 2, iphone 4 and 5. The network is not secured at this point. Any help with this would be appreciated.
Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
• Launch Settings app
• Tap on Wi-Fi
• Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
• In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Is there any way to print from iPad without having wireless network?
My mom is getting an iPad 64GB Wi-Fi + 3G to be able to surf the internet easily since the only service available to her at her house is dial-up. She would like to be able to print from her iPad. It seems from my research that all the printers require connection to a wi-fi network to use airprint. Does anyone know of an easy way for her to print? Also, she doesn't have a computer available to her right now as it recently died. Does anyone know of a solution?
Well, without a wireless network she can't surf the 'net!
Yes, printers require connection to a WiFi network AND they must be AirPrint compliant. -

I used my iPad on a wireless network in Europe. Now I am trying to log in to a site from home in the U.S. And I get the following message

iPad2 won't sync with iMac and only my iphone4 shows in the devices window on my iMac. For some reason it will not detect my iPad via my wireless network! The iPad will sync when plugged into the Mac however looses connection and disappears from the device window when unplugged.

You already have a wireless router or have just bought one, or do you have an ad hoc connection from iMac to AppleTV?
If things worked in the other location this all point to poor network performance/connectivity. It may be the connection is intermittently lost - small files transfer ok, but interruptions during longer transfers scupper the process.
Interference from cordless phone bases or microwaves (and neighbours devices) might also cause connectivity issues.
Signal strength bars are often not that useful, but will indicate connection to the main wireless device they connect to - so AppleTv may have a good connection to the router but a poor iMac connection to router is not displayed by AppleTV which only shows the connection to the first device in the chain.
You could consider some home mains newtorking plugs such as those made by Devolo but they usually have to be on the same mains ring. -
ITunes match does not work on my iPhone or iPad
I'm one of these lucky folks who has two Apple IDs because Apple decided to change from the single username to a MobileMe account a while back. Since Apple doesn't allow yet to concatenate both IDs, I have to use the single username ID for the iTunes store and the @me.com, actually @mac.com, ID for the rest.
The problem then is when I want to use my iPhone or iPad with iTunes Match. Both devices want me to register to the @me.com ID but the music is under the single username ID. In fact the iPhone and iPad refuse to accept my username ID if it does not have the @me.com suffix.
It's a mess and it does not work for me now. Has someone found a workaround or some way to get iTunes Match on the iPhone and iPad when there are two different IDs on iTunes?
Thanks for your help.It appears that Apple has no idea how to fix this issue of double Apple IDs and iTunes Match. They decided to reimburse me for the purchase of the two iTunes Match I got with my two IDs. This doesn't solve the issue but at least I'm not out of cash for nothing.

This did not happen before I upgraded and does not happen with either Chrome or IE. I am using Windows 7 operating system.
UPDATE: The problem seems to have resolved itself once I opened Firefox this morning.Thanks for editing your original post to let us know that the problem with Google search seems to have resolved itself after you closed and then reopened Firefox.
