5GHz Wi-Fi working with iPhone 5s (iOS 8.1)?

Hi All,
Since iOS 8, I cannot connect to my Wi-Fi using 5GHz Wireless band. I was hoping iOS 8.1 would resolve this. In iOS 8.0.2 it would sometimes connect but have repeated dropouts. Now in iOS 8.1 it attempts for longer to connect but fails. Anyone else had any luck?
Thanks,
Ramify

I had similar issues, especially connecting to 5Ghz band. Here's what seemed to help me:
1) Change your routers DHCP lease time on IP addresses to be 24 hours - or some number large enough that it won't time out every X minutes. This seems to be a main issue. I use LinkSys routers and you set this on the main page.
2) Upgrade to iOS 8.1, and "Reset All settings".
That combo worked for me. Back to using either 2.4 or 5 GHz channels no problem on both an iPhone 5s and iPad 3.
[Really ticks me off we have to go through this. My Windows laptops had no wifi issues while my Apple devices are having major wifi connection problems for no good reason...]

IHome no longer works with iPhone 4s after iOS 6.1 update.

My iHome no longer works with iPhone 4s after iOS 6.1 update. Prompts message 'This accessory is not supported by iPhone'. Has anyone come accross this and is there a fix?

Ring up iHome and ask them for a fix... And if they cant supply you with a fix... Then you should be entitled to a replacement or a upgrade, as firmware upgrades on your ios device should not affect audio products......

Itunes 11.1.5 will not sync new apps with iPhone 5 iOS 7.0.6 and gives grayed out "install" no message? How does one work around this?

Itunes 11.1.5 (MacBook Pro,OS 10.6.8) will not sync new apps with iPhone 5 iOS 7.0.6 and gives grayed out "install" no message? How does one work around this?

Just reboot your laptop... While its rebooting try to reboot your phone also by holding the home and power buttonn for 10-15 seconds...When your phone is turned off try to connect it to iTunes and it will recognize your phone in recovery mode.
If you have the .ipsw file for iOS 7.0.6 saved in your desktop then in itunes press shift and click on Restore.
Select the ipsw file and let it restore.
If you dont have it downloaded then simply click on restore.
I hope it works
Cheers !

Why the 3G connection with Wind don't work on iPhone 4S (iOS 5.0)??

Why the 3G connection with Wind don't work on iPhone 4S (iOS 5.0)??

Because Wind is not an officially supported iPhone carrier and Apple warns that using an iPhone on a non-supported carrier's network may mean that some features may not be available or work at all.

Bought iPhone 6 yesterday. Also bought dock works with iPhone 5/5s. And cord connecting iPhone 6 to USB port on car stereo. No sound comes out of dock or car stereo. In store today, iPhone 5 running ios 8 worked on dock, not iPhone 6. When Apple fix?

I bought an iPhone 6 yesterday. I also bought a stereo dock that works with iPhone 5/5s. And a cord to connect iPhone 6 to USB port on my car stereo. No sound comes out of the stereo dock or car stereo. In Best Buy today, Sales Associate tried his iPhone 5 running iOS 8 on a stereo dock. It worked, but my iPhone 6 didn't. When will Apple fix this problem? Or is Apple pushing everyone to Bluetooth?

The iPod feature that plays through USB in my car does not work with my iPhone 6 either. I called AppleCare and they said that the car audio system will need a firmware update. Don't know if Apple is just passing the buck, but that is what I was told. Thank you for posting. I know now that I am not the only one. Thanks also for posting about the iPhone 5 running iOS 8. I gave away my iPhone 5 to a friend so I wasn't sure whether this is an iOS 8 issue or an iPhone 6 issue and your experience seems to confirm that it is a problem with iPhone 6. I guess I will just be using Bluetooth in my car, at least for now.

Is there a new adapter that will work with iphone 4s to hdmi with ios 8 update

Hi just wondering if there is an adapter out there that will work with the new IOS 8 update -- iphone 4s to HDMI. Ever since I updated mine will not work. Same thing for the iPad mini. I want to purchase my daughters the iPad Mini for Christmas but will not unless there is an adapter capable of doing this.

This is not my problem. However, I think it may be related to an old speaker. I was using the 30 pin adapter for about a week after the upgrade to 7.1.2. But I think with the update the speaker won't work anymore. I will try with a new speaker system. Thank you for trying to assist.

Appletv remote app and airplay not working with iphone 4S

I have the latest appleTV. I have the remote app loaded onto my ipad3 and iphone 4S. The app is not working with iphone 4S, nor do I get the airplay icon, hence I can't mirrior my phone on appleTV. It used to work. I have deleted and reloaded the app, and still nothing. It worked fined until a month ago or so. I have enabled home sharing.
The app and airlplay are working just fine with the ipad3. I have the ipad and appleTV hooked up to my router using 5Ghz, and the iphone only connects to the 2Ghz network on the same router. I don't think this is the issue, because it worked before.
Also, when I click on the remote app on the iphone, to add an itunes library, a code pops up on the phone, which I enter into itunes on my Win7 PC. Nothing seems happed on the computer when I enter the code. Could this have anything to do with recent appleTV or itunes updates? Any possible solutions?

It seems like I am having the same problem.
I have the latest AppleTV 1080, imac 27", ipad, ipad2, 2 iphone 4, all with the latest iOS. After I have the AppleTV connected, a few problems showed up:
(1) ipad plus iphones cannot airplay photo to AppleTV. After the play button and the grey screen displayed "the playing msg on AppleTV", nothing happened. it is the same for ipad/iphone.
(2) iMac not Airplay to AppleTV
(3) Airplay Mirroring not working
The following are done:
- Home sharing enabled
- To test the devices are connected. I set a passowrd for Airplay and the ipad/iphone both requested for it so they are network and devices are ok

Ipod doesn't work on speakers but headphones are fine and speaker works with iPhone. Possible connector issue? Any thoughts on how I can get the fixed?

Try:
- 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.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

Does apples 30 pin male to female adapter work with iphone 4s to skydock

does apples 30 pin male to female adapter, work with iphone 4s to skydock (xm radio car cradle/charger)?

Howdy nanster23,
If you have as yet been unable to use this 30pin to lightning bolt adapter, I would like to recommend the troubleshooting in the following article to help you get that squared away:
If you need help with iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch accessories
These sections in particular since you have already done a couple of them:
Disconnect and inspect the accessory, then restart your device
Disconnect the accessory and turn it off, if possible.
Inspect the connection between the accessory and device and make sure that no debris or other damage is present.
Restart your iOS device by turning it off, then back on. When the Home screen appears, reconnect the accessory.
Restore iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
Restore your iOS device. You should rarely need to use this step with an accessory issue. If the issue only affects a third-party accessory, contact the manufacturer before restoring the device.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Sterling

Headsets don't come with the iPad. All you get is the iPad, USB cable and wall charger.

"This accessory is not made to work with iPhone"

I have a first generation iphone. It recently started showing a message that reads:
This accessory is not made to work with iPhone
Would you like to turn on Airplane Mode to reduce audio interference?
You will not be able to make call during this mode
YES NO
There is no accessory in the phone. Any thoughts on how to stop this behavior?
I tried reloading the OS and it didn't help.

I was having the same problem and it was draining my battery! After reading a couple of threads I was resigned to take my 1st gen iphone to the genius bar to see if they could do something. Before going to the bar I took off my pics, videos, movies, podcasts, and some applications in preparation for my visit. That night the problem stopped. This had been happening for about 3-4 weeks so I could replicate at will. After removing things from the phone when I tried to replicate the problem it would not happen. So I then started to re-sync things one at a time. After re-syncing everything but the applications I still could not replicate the problem. My feeling is that one of the applications, or combinations of, was causing the issue. I have not re-synced all the applications at this time because I am happy to have my phone back. Hope this helps.
