Anyone else having wifi drop out issues with their iPad 3?

Right from the word 'go' I have experienced frequent losses in wifi connectivity on my iPad 3 (64Gb, 4G). Fortunately I don't have to keep re-entering my wifi password but I do have to keep renewing the lease which is really tedious. My iPad 2 works flawlessly on the same network (Netgear cable modem/router from Virginmedia). I also have an iPod Touch and an iPhone that also work without issues on this set up. Thus far I have tried:
Rebooting the modem
Restoring the iPad 3
Resetting the network settings on the iPad 3
Changing the channel on the router from 'auto' to various other channels
Switching between WPA and WEP encryption on the router
Turning off the auto brightness (a tip I saw that worked on some of the earlier iPads)
None of the above have helped and after three calls to Apple support I have received a replacement iPad 3 which has exactly the same problem? People talk about replacing one's router as a potential solution but my options are limited because this is a combination cable unit supplied by Virginmedia. Also, the issue points pretty clearly to the iPad 3 because, as I mention, my other Apple products work flawlessly. I'm going abroad shortly and I'm thinking of leaving the iPad 3 at home if I can't sort out its wifi capabilities.
Any ideas?

Look at iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
Additional things to try.
Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
On your iPad go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings and see if that enables you to connect.
If none of the above suggestions work, look at this link.

Is anyone else having Config error 16 issue when trying to start PSE 12 or Premier Elements after Mac upgrade to Yosemite 10.10 on iMac

Is anyone else having Config error 16 issue when trying to start PSE 12 or Premier Elements 12 after the Mac upgrade to OS X Yosemite 10.10 on iMac. I have had a number of issues with software and things after upgrading to OS X Yosemite 10.10 and even 10.10.1. I have uninstalled and reinstalled both PSE 12 and Premier Elements 12 a number of times and everything goes fine until its ready to launch and then you get an error message. Numerous uninstalled and reinstalls don't removing the problem. Strangely enough PSE 11 still appears to boot up and I never owned Premier Elements 11 so I don't know if it will start. I thought with Apple dropping its Apeture software and greater integration of iPhoto and Apeture files into Lightroom 5.7 all would be harmonious between these two players. Im not sure where Adobe wants us to go it recently removed the plugin to allow you to update files from LR to Adobe Revel, whats up with that. I now own two version of Adobe software that no longer work with my Mac and now way of uploading pictures from Lightroom to Revel. Needless to say I am pretty reluctant to sign on to a subscription of Creative Cloud with long term financial obligations when I can't even get my current Adobe software to work independently much less integrate with Lightroom. Frustrated with it all!

Get rid of 'put disks to sleep when possible' and you may see a dramatic improvement (not necessarily a cure).
That specific problem is a multiple-Processor (including graphics processor) problem, where one of the processors lost track of whether it should be responding to interrupts. You may have a Hardware problem.

Has anyone else had a screen separation problem with the ipad?

Has anyone else had a screen separation problem with the ipad?

Does it really matter whether anyone else has? If you have, that's a problem for you whether or not anyone else has experienced the same issue. Call Apple tech support or take the iPad to an Apple Store, if there's one in your area, and they'll replace the iPad unless it's determined that the problem was caused by some sort of accident rather than a factory defect.
Regards.

Anyone else having WiFi problems with the IPod Touch 5th Generation?

I upgraded my old IPod Touch 3rd Generation to a 5th Generation yesterday. I've noticed however that for some reason the wi-fi connection on the 5th Generation drops off all of a sudden for no reason at all and I can't figure out why. Anyone else having similar problems? If so what did you do?

Does the iPod connect OK to other networks?
Does the iPod see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect OK?
Did the iPod connect before?
If only your network then it could be a problem with your network
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 the 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 make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Anyone else having a problem sending mail from their AOL account?

Everytime I try and send an email from my Iphone it says my aol password is wrong. anyone else having this problem?

YES, there are actually several posts about this problem today. It seems that most of use are able to receive mail, and I was able to send mail until about 3 this afternoon. AT&T reset my network settings, but that did not help. I called AOL, but since I use their email for free and am not a paying customer, I couldn not get any help. But I thnk it might be an AOL issue. I am able to log into my AOL email on my desktop,so it's definitly a correct user name and password.

Ichat dropping out issue with Broadband Tuner?

All,
I posted before when I was having this issue and Ralph suggested that since I had a FIOS connection and OS 10.3 I limit my bandwith to 100 in video preferences. That fix works(thanks Ralph), although my image is not as crisp.
Now I have 10.5.2 and downloaded the Broadband Tuner. Still have issue with Ichat just breaking down (running connection doctor show audio and video dropping off). I was wondering if I maybe need to do something else besides just install the Tuner? It came up with a successful install, but it seems like it is doing nothing?
Any help would be appreciated.
Jon

Hi Jon,
I see it says not for Airports at the bottom
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/broadbandtuner10.html
I don't know if this effect you.
I am not sure where to look on a Mac to find out if it is working or not.
I would recheck the Bandwidth option in iChat to see which works best for your try anything up to 500kbps.
Do you know if your Connection speed is varying greatly ?
This is the normal issue with FiOS.

Is anyone else having random file access issues? including "Element not found" error?

I don;t know what the @#$ is going on with this device, but for example:
user A creates a folder in their area(under a share with RW rights)
Everything is great..
They come in on day2, and all of a sudden, they get "Access denied" on the (excel) file
Typically, if I re-apply full rights for them using windows permissions, it "fixes" it.
Today, I went to modify a excel spreasheet that I've been using for a week or so, and boom, access denied
and effective permissions indicate that very thing: no rights.
I attempted to re-apply rights to my home directory, and on that particulat .xls, got a "Element not found" message.
I'm sad that I've had SO much trouble with this device.
I re-sycned with A/D just for kicks, no help.
It syncs with A/D daily
I've had so many of these related permissions issues, we're likel;y scrapping the Lenovo for a windows server, but I figured I'll see if anyone else is dealing with this message..
I'm also open to the fact that it could be our A/D I suppose..

Sorry to reply to such an old topic, but I am having exactly the same issue. Did you ever find a fix? We are reapplying all the parent folder settings every morning to bandaid the situation, but it is becoming a little ridiculous...
We have our settings so that a file administrator has full access to everyone's files, and each individual has full access to their own folder. The folder settings never change, but the files seem to lose the user's access permission periodically after being opened or edited (haven't narrowed down the exact cause, but has never happened to files that haven't been accessed, but doesn't always happen to files that have been accessed). One odd thing that might have something to do with it, the ownership of files keeps defaulting to a generic 63353/UNIX instead of the creator of the file or the owner of the parent folder (which is set the way we want). We are currently experiementing with changing it, but it seems ike if we set the owner to the user, the file administrator randomly loses access, if we set to the file admin, the user randomly loses access. I think we might be can bandaid the situation from the user's perspective with this, but it doesn't seem to fix the initial issue, that the folder permissions won't stay set.

Anyone else having a problem like this with the order...

Like the rest of the world, I got up extra early to order our 2 new Iphones. I got a confirmation number but have yet to receive any email about the order. I have called Verizon a hundred times and they do not see my order. Everyone tells me "oh you have a confirmation number so you will be fine". I check endlessly the status of my order but it doesn't show anything there at all. The last girl I talked to said oh well your order may not have gone thru but we don't know. If you don't get a notification by the 9th then go online and pre-order again. I really do not want to be charged 2x $400 and get 4 phones. Anyone else out there having this problem?

Well just to update in case anyone wanted to know. Finally got someone at Verizon who said that the order did not go thru. I place another order on 2/9 at 3am and everything is going good now. They said the system went down on the 3rd for a short period of time.

Anyone else having problems using Entourage 2008 with port 465?

Hello,
We all know by now that Verizon needs us to change our email settings. I've resisted because everytime I change the SMTP server settings to: smtp.verizon.net, enable SSL, and put in port 465, I CANNOT send emails properly.
I say "properly," because here's what happens. I compose an email and hit send. I then get an immediate error message saying that the email could not sent. But it appears in my outbox. So I open it and hit send again. Same thing. Then I open it a second time from the outbox and hit send and it finally sends. This happens on EVERY email (with or without attachments). And it happens on both of my macs running Entourage 2008. When I change the settings back to: outgoing.verizon.net, no SSL, and port 25 -- everythings works perfectly.
The new settings do work on my iphone. So I'm wondering if Entourage 2008 is the problem.
Has anyone else encourntered this problem?
Thanks for your help.
Redfran

Me too!
Finally tried to comply with Verizon’s “THIRD AND FINAL WARNING”
“to change the settings on my email server”; despite numerous postings
saying it didn’t work, you should keep current settings, sometime in the
future it will inevitably be required. Tried; New settings don’t work; now
going back to old settings DISABLES my outgoing email.
Verizon doesn’t even recognize the problem, nor give me a human voice
to talk to. Many frustrating dead-ends trying to navigate their Byzantine
website: 1.” web-link for guidance just leads to an ad for Verizon’s email.
2. Their automaton has extensive decision-tree links that do not even let
you ask about VERIZON’S REQUEST. 3. Verizon’s “chat forum”
has similar problems checked off as “solved” w/non-solutions.
4. finally found way to “live chat” = typing to someone in India
who mostly says “I’m sorry”.
Still my email is silenced DUE TO TRYING TO COMPLY W/VERIZON
DIRECTIVE. They caused a problem yet WON’T EVEN RECOGNIZE IT!
Makes me physically nauseous/dizzy. REMIND YOU OF ANYTHING?
“Error : Error in sending email An error was reported in response to a recipient address.
The SMTP server may refuse to handle mail for unknown recipients.
The following email could not be sent.”

Is anyone else having difficulty syncing yahoo contacts with icloud?

I don't know how long it has been since my yahoo contacts quit syncing with icloud to my ipod touch 4g. I've tried every possible combination today and nothing will get it to work other than going back to the old way of syncing through itunes with the cable connected.
The yahoo group of contacts is blank on my ipod but it seems to be syncing with the "All from My Pc" group which I don't quite understand. I thought before the yahoo group of contacts was full of the yahoo syncd contacts.
I use Yahoo mail so I'm not crazy about moving over to Google although I did already move to use the Google calendar with an android tablet and I am syncing the google calendar just fine with both the android tablet and the ipod touch.
Thanks,
Nic

Yes, I've had call quality issues with my S5. I can hear callers just fine. To them, I sound broken, or they hear nothing but static and garbled noise. Speakerphone works, but is not ideal. Bluetooth works, but I'm not always in my car or connected to bluetooth. A plugged in headset works.
For a time, turning off bluetooth seemed to resolve this. Then I did the update to Lollipop, and the issue intensified. I've tried multiple setting combinations (HD calling off and on, Bluetooth off and on, network Global to LTE/CDMA, Noise reduction off and on, etc...) I've done a system cache clear, FDR, deactivated and reactivated.... finally activated another phone I had available since the S5 was pretty much unusable as a phone. And I'm waiting for a patch to see if it makes a difference.
I wish I had a solution....

Is anyone else having trouble installing iOS 7 on to iPad 2?

Hi, Twice now I have attempted to update to iOS 7 on my iPad 2 but both times it has failed to install, what is happening is its successfully downloading iOS 7 it then begins to verify the update and it then shuts the iPad down to begin installing iOS 7 but once it has finished nothing has happened and its still running iOS 6.1.3. Anybody know a fix/solution or could it be that my poor iPad 2 which will be 2 years old this December be past it best? I hope not as I've never had an issue with it!

I was unsuccessful with my first attempt to update to iOS7last night & went to bed in disgust. I tried again this morning & was happy to see the "Update was Successful" message as I headed off to work. I did not have a chanceto explore the changes until tonight & I have found that I cannot log into my Apple account from the iPad (I am writing this on my iMac)- no access to One-to-One, iTunes, etc. When I click the link to "Forgot your Apple ID" or "Forgot your password", I find myself on a site telling me to enable Javascript in my iPad settings (it is already enabled) and, a link to identify the country where I am located(?), which loops me back to the log in page.......It is Groundhog Day!
Apple supports tells me that I, and those having trouble like me, are statisitical anamolies (sp?), & then directed me to scrub the iPad; take it back to its default, factory settings & then install iOS7. My response was that I had much better things to do with my Friday evenings than mess with a faulty product, be it the iPad or the iOS, and that we statisitical anamolies should be compensated for our frustration , as wellas the fact that we bring some of the bugs and flaws of Apple's products to their attention. The current arrangement is that, by ppurchasing Apple's products at a premium price, I am paying the company to let me troubleshoot their products. Seems backwards!
I am done venting my frustration for now.

Is anyone else having these iOS 6 problems on their iPhone?

I've been notciing this more and more lately. When ever I'm using my phone its become exteremly laggy and it freezes up a lot more than when I first got the phone. Also sometimes my text notifications wont pop up and I would have no idea if I would get a text. Also does anyone have the problem when you get a text or just want to turn on the phone to the lock screen the phone just stays black? I press every button and the phone just doesn't turn on. These problems keeps increasing as the days go on. Anyone else have these problems?

Basic troubleshooting steps right out of the user guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new. If you've been through ALL the steps and you still have the problem, then you'll need to bring your phone to Apple for evaluation.
