After upgrading to 8.1, my network is stuck in "Extended" instead of "Verizon." Battery life is also POOR now
How do I get it back to Verizon? Tried all the usual fixes, aka resetting network settings etc. Also, my battery life is now VERY POOR. Please help! It seems both Verizon and Apple do not know who is to blame for this issue, as each blames it either on the carrier or the software update. Currently, there seems to be only a fix for the iphone 6. Thank you!
I've done a network reset several times. I've had the phone a few months in the same area with no previous network or battery life issues. I am in the middle of very large city with full Verizon coverage, and have been since I owned the phone. It has been stuck on extended since I upgraded, and my room mate who has not upgraded is still on "Verizon," so I know outages are not the issue. I am very good about closing apps. I have done the routine battery usage fixes, such as turning off background refresh, turning off auto-brightness, turning off certain notifications, disabling spotlight search, etc.
Also interesting to note that my usage percentages are now in the 25%+ range for both messages and safari (this is with minimal usage, on a good wifi network!) and 12-18% for home and lock screen. The rest of the usages are in single digit percentages.

After upgrade to latest firmware canon network printer won't print
after upgrade to latest firmware canon network printer won't print. It's a canon MP540 on a wireless network. It will print a test page but won't print from any application, just sits there with the message 'copying print data'!
Running Mac OS X Lion 10.7.2 (11C74), with firmware SMC Version (system): 1.73f63.
Any help gratefully received.First off if you can print a test page there is absolutely no reason you wouldn't be able to print from a application...none. But stranger things have happened now that we have Lion. Within the application are you selecting the wireless printer........just had to check.
I have the MP620 which is simlar to your MP540 and have no problems printing from my MBA (June 2011). I too have the latest firmware and software......without problems printing.
A few things I'd try would be to remove the wireless printer from your computer (in Preferences, printers), restart, and repair permissions. Then add the wireless printer back, and see if it works. If not.....power OFF the printer and turn back on.
If the above fails reinstall the printer driver (yours) I think you will have to plug in the USB cable.
Keep me updated and I'll tyr and help! -

Once I downloaded the KitKat upgrade, i was unable to read text messages or MMS messages. Battery life really short, and now I'm unable to get it to load, phone is unusable. took phone into the Version store, and they were not able to get it to work either..
I have 3 Motorola M on my account, one updated correctly, and one has not been updated to the new version. I have since taken the broken phone into the store, and they customer support people were not able to get it to load as well. Pretty much told me there is nothing they can do to make it work again, But I can buy a new phone at full price since I still have 6 months on my contract. Oh that's nice, I can see having to pay full price if the phone was broken by something I did, but not because of a software update. Its very frustrating and not right!

please contact me i am receiving too much problem in iPhone 4S after upgrading it to ios 6
it automatically comes to main page when ever i used to open surfing ,safari,gmail,viber and etc...
<Personal Information Edited by Host>NEVER post your personal info on a public forum such as this. This is a user-to-user tech support site.
If your phone was NEVER jailbroken or hacked to unlock, try these steps as needed:
1. Reset phone (no data loss): Press both home and power buttons for at least 10 seconds, releasing when the Apple logo appears.
2. Restore phone in iTunes using a backup (no data loss)
3. Restore phone in iTunes as new, without using a backup. -
I have windows 8 enterprise OS and iTunes ver. 10.5.0.142. I was upgrading my iPad to IOS 6.1.3. After finishing the upgrade my iPad Reboot and currently stucked-up in a plug-in screen and iTunes Logo. When I try to connect it to the iTunes pop-up message appear saying " iTunes has detected iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with iTunes." In short, I push the restore button then another pop-up message appear saying " The iPad software update server could not be contacted. Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, or try again later." I tried many ways but still no luck. I repeatedly reboot the iPad and open the iTunes still the same problem. I try also to uninstall the iTunes and installed the lower version but still the same problem, I even check the firewall if the ITunes was block or My privileges is administrator to run the iTunes or even reset my winsock but the problem still remain. PLEASE HELP! Thank you in advance!!!
Turn off your firewall and antivirus software.

After upgrading from snow leopard to lion, mail stuck in upgrade mode?
How do I get the upgrade to STOP so I can try to open Mail again without having to trash the application. Or is that the only way? and then how do I get the Mail application? Thanks for any help!
Go get a powered USB hub and try that. Lion may have issued a fix for devices drawing too much power, by cutting them off.

The Toolbar for Norton & Text aloud are missing in version 4
Symantec need to update their Firefox add-ons so that they are compatible with Firefox 4. They have indicated that for Norton 360 they plan to release an update to Norton 360 to support Firefox 4 in early May - http://us.norton.com/support/kb/web_view.jsp?wv_type=public_web&docurl=20100720113635EN&ln=en_US
I do not know about the time scale for updates for other Norton products. Pending the update by Symantec, if you want to use the Norton add-ons you will need to downgrade to Firefox 3.6.
I am not familiar with the Text Aloud toolbar, but it as with the Norton toolbar it may need to be updated to work with Firefox 4. You should contact the developers to see if there is an update.
To downgrade to Firefox 3.6 first uninstall Firefox 4, but do not select the option to "Remove my Firefox personal data". If you select that option it will delete your bookmarks, passwords and other user data.
You can then install the latest version of Firefox 3.6 available from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html - it will automatically use your current bookmarks, passwords etc.
To avoid possible problems with downgrading, I recommend going to your profile folder and deleting the following files if they exist - extensions.cache, extensions.rdf, extensions.ini, extensions.sqlite and localstore.rdf. Deleting these files will force Firefox to rebuild the list of installed extensions, checking their compatibility, and reset toolbar customizations.
For details of how to find your profile folder see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Profiles -
I did the update and even did a factory reset, and I am having
problems typing when plugged in to the wall charger, I get random keystrokes,
from all over the keyboard, not just the keys around the one i want to press.
Dolphin browser is running supper slow, especially when on Facebook. The
battery life has lost at least an hour.Phones will do that when plugged in, esp with cheap chargers.. it has to do with the voltage and coveting and the digitized screen. You can google if you want more indepth there
clear data out of dolphin,check for update? also read comments on the app maybe it sucks on ics
battery stats got erased when you did a factory reset, give it a few charge cycles -
I installed iOS 6.1 to my iPhone 4s and the next day, the battery drained in about 6 hours, where it used to last all day or longer. I also noticed today that it is running very hot. I disabled location services to see if that would help but it doesn't seem to be making a huge difference. Any ideas how to fix this? Thanks!!
I have the same problem since updating to 6.1.1. The battery has never been great but since the update it is ridiculous. It drains by 40% in an hour with no use at all and all background programmes closed.
Please fix this! -
my tech nephew told me to reinstall io7 as it has been updated to resolve these problems (cannot access wifi and battery life is halved) Is this true and what's the best way to reinstall ios7?
Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)

Network issue after upgrading to OSX 10.4 from 10.3.9
After upgrading to 10.4 the network seemed to be working fine, internet works, mail works fine, but on the finder network menu I had some problems. Selecting the network menu brings up the menu and selecting network a folder displays named MyNetwork not local. All of the servers and other macs are shown in the next colu mn on the form. I cannot connect to them. Opening the icon for any of the nodes results in the message The alias to the "Node" cannot be opened because the original item cannot be found. This message box provides the option to fix alias, or delete the alias. The fix alias does not accomplish anything and the delete alias gives an error that I do not have the privileges to delete the "Node".
I am fairly new to working with apple (2 weeks.). I am guessing that a file was not moved during the upgrade. I would like to learn how to correct this problem.Hi Tom, and a warm welcome to the forums!
The fix alias does not accomplish anything...
I've never heard of it working for anybody either!
Try this, in Finder>Preferences>Sidebar, toggle off the Show Network Icon, Find the IP of the iMac in it's Network Pref Pane>TCP/IP tab. In finder, select Go menu>Connect to Servers..., then on the PB, type in afp://ip.of the iMac, like...
afp://10.0.1.5
afp://192.168.1.3
(smb:// if PCs), if it connects then reboot, then toggle that setting back on.
Where are we now? -
Why don't I have my App Store apps after upgrading to iOS5?
I just upgraded my iphone to iOS5. Before upgrading I created a backup in iTunes. After upgrading I restored from backup. All of the apps I downloaded/purchased from the App store are now missing on my iPhone Only the core apps that come preinstalled on iOS5 are present.
However, all the music, contacts, and photos that were previously on my iphone are still there (ie the contents and settings in the core apps have been restored). Also, folders that I had previously put core apps into have been recreated.
Does this point to any error I made in the upgrade process? I didn't transfer purchases from iPhone to iTunes when prompted before the upgrade, nor do I sync apps between iPhone and iTunes. I assumed all this content would be included in the backup.To answer my own question. Yes, the steps I took prior to upgrade were insufficient to have my apps restored after the upgrade. I should have checked sync apps in iTunes or manually transferred purchases from iPhone to iTunes prior to upgrade.
This thread helped with my understanding

After upgrading to iOS 5.0.1 in my iPhone 4 the battery lasts less by a 30%, it´s only me?
After upgrading my iPhone 4 to iOS 5.0.1 the load of the battery lasts less by 30% with the same use it had before. So far I read the upgrade was to correct the battery duration flaw. So ¿What happened?
You only get one download of movies.
It is your responsibility to backup your purchases. -
After upgrade to iOS 8, My ipad is getting shut down intermediately.
After upgrade to iOS 8, My ipad is getting shut down intermediately. Even while surfing net also it happens. Earlier I thought it may be due to any software/game which is not compatible. But it happens during surfing net on Safri. No option to move back to iOS 7.
Hi BalajiPrusty,
If your iPad shuts down intermittently, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting - note: the article is for iPhones but this section is relevant to iPads as well.
Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
After at least 30 minutes, if:
The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
If the display turns on, go to step 4.
If the display remains black, go to next step.
Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,
Brett L
