After 2.0 Upgrade original iPhone WiFi unstable and not connecting
I upgraded my original iPhone (8GB) to OS 2.0. I had some issues getting it upgraded with "problems accessing the iTunes Store" but once thoese resolved seemed ok. Even bought and synced Super Monkeyball.
I now notice that in my home where I have two airports (old G Extreme and a G Express) neither will connect to the iPhone for more than a few seconds and for the most part the phone doesn't see them.
Anyone have this issue and any suggestions for resolving?
Hi Menk - do me a favor will you? Go into Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > and then scroll down to "Calendars". Question: How many sub-functions do you see?
After I did the upgrade, I have two sub-functions. I look at the same path on a 3G iPhone, and see they have three. The 3rd sub-function is "Calendar Type". Do you have that on your upgraded iPhone?
Also, when you are in the Calendar apps, on the top left hand corner. do you have a "Calendar" button? I don't have one after my upgrade but I see that 3G does.
Look forward to hear from you ...

Forgetting WiFi password, and not connecting to wireless access point automatically??
I'm using (until tomorrow when I get a MacBook Pro which HOPEFULLY won't have the same problem) a pre 2007 Macbook which is running Mac OS X 10.5.8. It was previously owned by my brother and passed onto me about 4 months ago. Within that time I've had nothing but problems with the WiFi connection!
The first issue would have to be that if I put the MacBook to "sleep" rather than turning off, it disconnects from WiFi during that process. Fine, that's to be expected. But when I wake it up, it's not only disconnected, but I have to re-enter my WiFi password in order to reconnect. Is there some reason that it will not remember the password through this sleep process? Turning off and on normally works fine, and it connects automatically, but not when it sleeps.
The second problem is equally confusing to my mind. In my house, we have a wireless access point upstairs (we have 3 floors after having our attic converted). All characteristics (name, password etc) are the same on the access point as on the main router downstairs. Every device in our house, included a couple of android phones, a tablet, and two laptops running various versions of Windows, all connect to this wireless access point with no problem at all. None of them have been "set up" to do so, in that they detect it as part of the same network and join it automatically. But for some reason, my MacBook won't do it? At first I would assume that perhaps it's due to the age of my MacBook and maybe some flaw in the old operation system, but my iPhone 4S running iOS 7 doesn't connect to this access point either. Is this some weird security thing that Apple use in their devices??
To make things even more frustrating, the MacBook's issue of remembering the WiFi password means that when I come back downstairs and into range of the main router, it's forgotten the password again and I have to re-enter it to reconnect.
Can some PLEASE offer some kind of assistance? I'm getting a brand new MacBook Pro tomorrow and if it's an OS issue then I assume I won't have it anymore, but I'm desperate to solve this issue one way or another considering this machine will be staying in the family and in this house so will pressumably have the same issues.
Thanks in advance guys!

How to have Wifi on and not connected to Cell carrier
Hi:
I am traveling abroad and I would like to be able to switch on wifi but I do not want to connect to the local cell phone carrier since AT&T charges so much. For example it is 50 cents to receive a text message. I would like to just have wifi.
I am on plane mode right now to listen to the music and wifi is off.
Thanks for your help.The only way to do this is to physically remove your SIM card. Pop it out and none of the Phone functions work, but you can still use the iPod and the WiFi.
Turning off Data roaming will only prevent EDGE from accessing the net - you will still get calls and texts. -
After I've upgraded my iPhone iOS to 5.0.1, I got problems with connectivity. If my iPhone lose network, then it gets frozzen and I cannot make calls. After restart the telephone still does not work.
1. Download the iOS 5.0.1: http://www.tobias-hartmann.net/2011/11/download-ios-5-0-1-veroffentlicht-direkte -downloadlinks/
2. open itunes,Click in iTunes while holding down the Shift key (on Windows) or Alt key (Mac) to restore and firmware -
i upgraded my iphone 4 ios and now my phone will not restore -
I have run into the same problem.
1. I was sharing the same itunes account with my wife for both of our iPhones 4s. She upgraded her phone to IOS7 two weeks before I did. After I did we ran into problems with messaging. Because we shared itunes account, both iphones were linked. When I sent text messages to someone, she got a copy. When they replied, she got a copy. I tried several ways to remove her phone from my profile, but would not work with new IOS7. I had to create a seperate itunes account for my phone in oirder to do so, as recommended on several help forums.
2. I backed up my phone onto itunes before setting up seperate itunes account. It showed that all the photos, contacts, notes, apps, etc. were synced and backed up.
3. I logged off itunes (former shared account- now wife's account), logged into new itunes account, and proceeded to restore my phone, while logged into my new itunes account, thinking this would delete my wife's phone from the profile as shared devices.
4. Phone would not restore by automatically syncing with itunes, by selecting back up recovery file to recover, or even by deleting everything and starting fresh as if it were a new phone, then trying to restore the data file as if it were recovering the backup info onto the new phone.
5. I get the same **** initialization loop sequence on the iphone every time, even after itunes goes through the recovery process, syncing all data, etc., multiple times. The iPhone loops through the grey screen "Welcome" in different languages, then asks which wireless server I want to connect to, enter passcode, then asks if I want to set up phone as a new device, backup from iCloud, or from iTunes backup. It does not matter which I select. It prompts me to connect to iTunes again. The point is, I have already been through these procedures and the iPhone cannot get past this point and enter run mode, showing me a screen with all my recovered settings.
For time being, just to have a functional phone, I have had to delete everything off the phone and set it up as a new device, back to factory settings. Then the phone will get past this and enter into run mode showing screen and apps with factory settings, no contacts, no email ( have to set up again), no voice mail ( have to reset).
Any ideas on how to over ride this reset mode in the iPhone, when all I want to do is download and recover settings from a backup in iTunes to the device? -

IPhone 4s keeps freezing and not connecting to wifi. Keeps turning it off?
IPhone 4s keeps freezing and not connecting to wifi. Been like this for last 6 months.. Am real fed up with it.. Have reset, tried turning off but still not connecting.. Any suggestions gratefully received.
Does "have reset" mean that you restored the phone to factory settings? If not, you might want to give that a try. You will want to backup first so that you can restore your data from the backup after you restore the iOS software.
This will erase the phone and also download and install the most recent iOS version available for your device.

My wife and I each have an apple ID and share one macbook pro. Is it possible to use the iCloud on our shared macbook pro and our two separate iPhone 5's and not get each others information confused?
Once you setup your wife's account you can enable fast user switching to make it easy to switch accounts:

HT4528 My iphone 4s is connected to my wifi but will not connect to internet
My Iphone 4S is connected to my wifi but will not connect to the internet. Does anyone know how to fix this?
Try going to settings>general>reset>reset network settings. Once you've reset your network settings you will need to be able to plug in your wifi/router password to your wifi appliance. (password to wifi router)
Good luck. -

It is possible that your security software (firewall, anti-virus) blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full, unrestricted, access to install for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.
