Ipad Wifi used to work well, but now only near the router.
I have my Ipad for 6 months now, and it worked very well until last wednesday. The wifi range dropped drastically. I used to have internet all over my house, but now it only works near my time capsule. The other products that I have are working fine without the range issue (1 Imac, 2 MacBooks, 1 Ipod Touch and a 3G Ipad). It didn't happen anything to it, it was working one day and then it stopped (the range fell). I think it's a problem with the antenna, because it doesn't recognize any other area net.
Did it happen to anyone else?
I already restored it and the i.o.s is the last one (3.2.2).
Thank you very much.

This sounds like an issue worth taking the iPad to an Apple Retail store and have the function checked to be sure there has not been a hardware failure.

When try to connect my iPod touch 4th gen to my house Wifi it won't connect, it used to work fine but now it dosen't work, but it does say that the internet is available, but when I tap on it it just loads. all other devices work fine.
Does the iOS device connect to other networks? If yes that tend to indicate a problem with your network.
Does the iOS device see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iOS device connect before?
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on your router
.- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

I own an iPod Classic. In iTunes, some podcast videos cant be played on teh iPod, so I set it to convert the video to the right format for the iPod. It used to work perfectly, but now for some reason, it doesnt convert properly! When I play the video, it is just a white screen, but the sound can be heard. Can anyone help??????
Your source video file is probably muxed.
Neither QT Pro or iTunes has the ability to successfully encode a muxed video file with audio. You'll end up with video and no audio.
See: iPod plays video but not audio of some exported files.
You'll need to use some other third-party software to do the conversion. There's a handful of software available. Just search the forums and you'll find many titles mentioned.
Try MPEG Streamclip. -
iMessage working yesterday. Now it says the recipient is not registered and will not deliver message. But they are registered. Any suggestions?
OK. Going to accept for now that it is a server problem. Hate waiting though. Grrrr.

I have an I phone 4 with 32g. The voice dial used to work just fine, but now it doesn't recognize the words and ends up saying someone elses name and starts calling the wrong person. It even won't recognize a number when spoken to it and speaks back and calls the wrong numbers.
Lately, the phone has really slowed down. I am not sure if this is the problem.. I have closed all the open apps and deleted any extra picture off the card and extra songs that I have downloaded and the slow problem still exists.
Would a reset work to restore the phone to factory settings and if I then resync the phone, would all contacts pictures and songs be restored?

OklahomaWhat is wrong with your Mac? You still haven't told us what the problem is. Is the computer still under warranty or Apple Care?
the next time i attempted to use the computer it wasn't fine
What do you mean by "wasn't fine". We can't see your computer so you'll have to describe what your're experiencing in detail without the editorializing.
Download and run Etrecheck. Copy and paste the results into your reply. It's a diagnostic tool that was developed by one of the most respected users here in the ASC to help identify the more obvious culprits. -
I bought a Zeppelin music player and iPod classic in December 2012, and all went well until I last synched the iPod with iTunes, and now I get a message saying that the iPod doesn't recognise the attached accessory when I try to connect it to the Zeppelin. I did recently update to the latest iTunes version-could this be the problem, and if so how do I cure it? All help appreciated.
It's still charging when you plug it in. That just means it won't play music out the speaker. If that's what you were looking to do, they have speakers for iPods.

help !!
You do not have the properties in the Bookmarks Manager (Library), but you should have it if you right-click a bookmark the Bookmarks Toolbar or in the bookmarks sidebar.
On Mac you probably do not have it if you right-click an item in the Bookmarks menu (this menu is under control of the Mac OS), but I assume that this should work if you click the "Show your bookmarks" button on the Navigation Toolbar that is next to the star to bookmark the current tab and right-click an item in the bookmarks list that opens. -
When trying to play itunes from my PC to my stereo connected to an Airport Express, I gen an error that says "An error occured while connecting to the Airplay device "Stereo" an unknown error occured (-15000)". This has happened before and for reasons unknown to me, the problem corrects itself, then it starts again/ Makes me wish I did not have my music on itunes.
moehadi, Welcome to the discussion area!
This is typically caused by a firewall or Internet security software running on your PC. Please read the comments in "Error -3256 or -15000 when streaming to AirPort Express base stations using iTunes".
Also there is "iTunes 8: Unknown error -15000 when attempting to stream music to devices connected to AirPort Express with AirTunes". -
Gmail used to work fin but now no new incoming mail messages
My gmail account in Mail has worked fine for two months since I got my Macbook Pro. All of the sudden when I open mail and click on "Get Mail" next to the Gmail mailbox is a spinning circle. I have quit mail and opened it multiple times, checked the settings for the account to ensure they are correct and set up an additional gmail account (the same email and everything) to see what happened. The new account does the same spinning wheel. Any suggestions? This problem started out of thin air, I never changed any settings. PLEASE HELP!!!!
Thank you.I also cannot send mail. My .me account works just fine though, sending and receiving.

This is especially true with my Blu-Ray movies
I have this same problem too - thanks for the heads up that all my NOTES will get wiped. Going to have to workaround by dumping all my notes from Outlook to ONENOTE on the cloud. Then not really using NOTES on my iPhone and iPad. Apple is slowly becoming more and more successful in getting me to NOT use MS products, like Outlook. Actually, my cloud strategy will be to keep my longer notes on ONENOTE and relegating NOTES on iPhone/iPad to just quick hits that I jot here and there. I guess iPhone/iPad notes will then get synced over iCloud but will not end up in Outlook. What a pain in the arse! I need a seriously freaking flow chart to keep track of all of my cloud activity. It's making my head spin.

I am having problem with signing in i do have icloud id but the password that i am putting in is not working.I do have 2 phones and I only use 1 icloud id and 1 email, so when i tried to resend email i did received it but when i created new password it still did not work.Please help me.
2 ways- 1, from a backup, or 2- if you sign in to icloud from your computer you should be able to get any data you had synced with icloud.
Your other iphone thats using the same ID should also have access to that data. But if the data was not synced or backed up, then no. -
I changed my ipad desktop background to a photo but now I want the original grey screen back, I have looked in settings wallpaper and it isn't there? Is there a way to get it back and why has it disappeared?
ThanksMorning AndreD86,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
These articles explain exactly what is backed up by using their method.
iTunes: About iOS backups
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4946
and
iCloud: Backup and restore overview
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4859
Also we want to double-click the Home button and swipe the Task Bar to the right.
Then make sure the button on the far left of Task Bar is not muted.
Best of luck,

Additional things to try.
Try this first. 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.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
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
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
