Apple says small number of Apple TVs have WiFi issues, opens replacement program

I have an AppleTV 3rd generation with issues of connectivity when I use the Radio. Every 10 or 15 minutes disconnects from showing an error on the screen, I research on the internet and apparently there is a program to replace some devices due a known malfuncion with the WiFi.
I always blamed to my cheap router and the poor internet connection I had in my former country Argentina. Now i moved to Chile and i have a nice Cisco/Linksys router and the issue persists.
Please check the links below about the replacement program:

http://9to5mac.com/2013/04/15/apple-says-small-number-of-apple-tvs-have-wifi-iss ues-opens-replacement-program/
I would like to know if this program exists and also if my device is under this program.
The serial number of my AppleTV is C0*****RHN.

That program was from over a year ago, it is no longer running. It still required proper troubleshooting to occur. It wouldn't have to do with an internet connection as this an issue with the local/wifi network, a cheap router will impact performance but there are other factors.
Using ethernet will help to see if there's a wifi issue. Get a network report from istumbler, netstumbler or similar, look for signal strength and noise.
If your network looks ok then I would take to Apple for testing, if it is found to be defective then they are usually good about replacement.

My device says, "Maximum number of iCloud coounts have been logged on". What should I do now?

My device says, "Maximum number of iCloud accounts have been logged on"
Someone help m, what should I do now to start using iCloud on my same device?

Each device can only create a maximum of three iCloud accounts. Once those have been create and you try to create another you get this message. You cannot delete one of the previous accounts in order to create another one. All you can do is either re-use one of the accounts previously created, or create a new account to use on another iOS device (running iOS 5 or higher) or Mac (running OS X 10.7.2 or higher) and sign into the account on your phone.

Iphone 5s have wifi issue after upgraded to ios8.

Iphone 5S have wifi issue afetr upgraded to IOS 8. Does Apple know about this?? Its really frustrating the signal is weak.

If you look at google there are some problems with ios8 and it happens to be wifi issue for me.
If I look at google, I will find that people reporting problems with every version of iOS. And accounts of being abducted by aliens. Just because you are having a WiFi issue does not necessarily mean the issue is with iOS 8 (correlation does not prove causality). Until you've done proper trouble shooting (or had Apple do it for you if you don't feel equipped), it's almost impossible to say why you are having a problem.
My iPhone 5S is not having any issues with iOS 8.

I checked IMEI when I bought it, but now apple says serial number has been replaced

I recently bought an iphone 5 from craigs list. Before I did, I called Verizon wireless and had them check the IMEI number and make sure its clean. THey said it is, I even asked her 3 different times "so youre sure that this item is not stolen or reported missing or anything like that" she said yes.
Today, I decided to find out if the iphone is under waranty or not so I went on the apple website to check the serial number, and guess what I got:
We're sorry, but this is a serial number for a product that has been replaced.
was calling verizon not enough diligince to make sure it was clean, or did the guy that sold it to me find away to cheat the system?
when apple replaces a phone, do they no let the carrier know that this IMEI number belongs to a phone that has been replaced?
thanks.

Common scam is to sell an iPhone and after the sale is complete,
original owner reports the iPhone as stolen or lost to collect on his
insurance (Verizon offers insurance). The insurer tells the wireless
provider and the iPhone is blocked.
If Apple replaces an iPhone, it has no responsibility to notify anyone.
Nor does the wireless carrier care - if there is a problem connecting
with the replaced iPhone, the owner can work it out with the carrier
at that time.
You were scammed. You can try to contact the seller, but there is little
chance of getting your money back. While some goods sold via
CraigsList are bargains, many are scams or stolen goods. Your
protection from such problems is to purchase your iPhone from Apple
or an Apple authorized reseller.
Sorry for your loss. The blame does not lie with Apple but with the seller
who defrauded you.

I changed my AppleID/Password and now am locked out of iCloud. iCloud says maximum number of free accounts have been activated. tried Settings, Mail etc but iCloud does not appear. I was going to delete it and start again.

Had to change Apple ID/Password recently now cannot access iCloud. In settings when tapping iC, log in screen appears with old ID and request for (old) password.
In Settings Mail, Contacts etc iCloud does not appear. I was going to delete account.
Trying new ID/Password message appears "maximum no. of free accounts have been activated".
Using old ID/Password message apperas "you can,t sign in because account was disabled for security reasons ......reset password at iforgot.apple.com which i did.
Can anybody help please??

Hi,
I tried to log in to iCloud but a message appears telling me I "can't sign in because my account was disabled for security reasons....reset password at iforgot.apple.com". I don't know why this happened.
I reset both my Apple ID and password.
When I tap Settings iCloud is listed on the left side between General and Mail, Contacts etc.
Tapping iCloud brings up a log in screen for iCloud which shows my old Apple ID and requests the password. If I put the password in I get the message as above.
If I use the new Apple ID/Password I get the message "the maximum number of free accounts have been activated....
In settings there is no option to "Delete Account"
Any suggestions??

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.
Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

My iPhone 5's serial number isn't eligible for iPhone 5 battery replacement program, but clearly has battery problem. Help?

I was relieved and not at all surprised to find out that Apple was recalling certain iPhone 5s for battery replacement. I was sure mine was one affected. (My battery doesn't last more than 4-5 hours after a full charge at normal use.)
Having entered my serial number on this page: https://ssl.apple.com/support/iphone5-battery/ I was told that my phone wasn't eligible.
I sincerely think my phone has a defective battery and that the range of serial numbers should be broadened beyond what Apple calls a "very small percentage of iPhone 5 devices."
Anyone know how I can get Apple to help here?

I have the same problem with a iPhone 5c which was purchased last fall (2013) after the Replacement Program time frame. It drains with minimal use.
We have several iPhone4's, 2-3 years old, which have never had this issue.
From reading all of these responses/questions, Apple really needs to address this issue for all 5's. This is a big problem, when the phone is completely unreliable.

Still Have WiFi Issues

1. Installed 3.0
2. WiFi dies after two weeks
3. Got New phone to fix problem
4. WiFi once again died after two weeks
So what do I do next??

In this case the wifi starts as being intermittent and then unable to connect to ANY wifi routher just like my previous iphone. Previous Iphone eventially ended up with the wifi option in setting as greyed out. Apple store was clueless as to what is causing this widespread wifi issue.

4.3.3 OS and now I have wifi issues

since I upgraded to 4.3.3. both devices (iPhone 4 & iPad 1) are having issues in reconnecting to wifi.
It started intermittently with the IP4 and now the IPad has won't connect and now it's all the time with both devices.
Previously, just a power reset of the AEX would cure it - now zilch.
I've tried setting up the Airport Extreme network again several times in various configurations - permanantly assigned IP addresses to each device, etc.
I have several other devices on different OS and they don't have any issues.
Anyone, please any ideas? It's bad enough living behind the GFW.

Try using Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
Restart your WiFi router by removing power to it for 30 seconds

If i am going to buy an iphone from someone, can the apple store check if it does not have an issue?

I want to buy a phone from a friend. He states that it was brand new and there is nothing wrong with the phone's exterior or interior. I still want to check if there is anything else that I could check for. Is it possible that the Apple Store can help me check any problems with the phone? Can they also tell me the carrier of the phone? He states that it is from T-Mobile, but I still want to check.
Thank You.
Sara

If you call Apple with the serial number they can tell you the carrier it is locked to. You can also check the warranty status at: Apple - Support - Check Your Service and Support Coverage and see if it is Activation Locked (a theft deterrent feature) at https://www.icloud.com/activationlock/.
However, if you don't trust the friend perhaps you shouldn't buy it. And reconsider if they really are a friend.

I am trying to use My Messages on my Verizon Ellipsis and I get the message that says mobile number (tablet) doesn't have permission to send messages. How can I change this?

How do I give permission to my Verizon Ellipsis tablet to send messages - in order to use My Messages?

Hello AdamsFamily04,
Staying connected with all you devices is important. I am here to help you connect your Verizon messages with the tablet. Verizon Messages on the tablet needs to be associated with your mobile number to configure the messages. When the message prompts you for a number, use the mobile number you want to link it with and you will be ready for use.

My Apple Computer says "Connecting to Device." I have a HP Officejet Pro 8600

I have a Mac with iOS Yosemite with a Officejet Pro 8600, all of a sudden I open the program and it stays on teh screen that says "Connecting to Device"
Help. I can't open the program to scan. I can still print though, I'm not sure if that's due to the cord connected or the fact that I still have it hooked up to wifi
Please help
Thanks

Hi @Smoove
I can't say for certain what is causing the issue at this point, but I would be happy to help you figure it out, and more importantly, resolve the issue.
Let's reset the printing system, repair disk permissions, re-add the printer using the right driver, and try to scan again.
Reset Printing System
Click the Apple icon (   ), and then click System Preferences.
In the Hardware section, click Print & Fax/Scan. The Print & Fax/Scan dialog box opens.
Right-click (or  Ctrl  +click) in the left panel, and then click Reset printing system…
Click OK to confirm the reset.
Type the correct Name and Password.
Click OK to reset the printing system. The Print & Fax dialog box shows no printer selected
Note: This will remove all printers in the print and Fax/Scan, any printer removed can be re-added later by clicking the plus (+) symbol.
Repair Disk Permissions
On the Dock, click Applications, and then click Utilities.
Double-click Disk Utility.
Highlight your hard drive/partition on the left (by default this is "Macintosh HD").
Click the Repair Disk Permissions button at the bottom of the window.
Once the repair is complete, restart the computer and add the printer back.
When you add the printer, please ensure you are using the HP driver.
Select Add other Printer or Scanner
Select the printer you are adding and next to 'Use' you can select the printer driver
I look forward to hearing from you.

I just got an Apple TV. My TVs have only one HDMI port and I have my cable providor plugged into that. Any suggestions on how to set this up?

Repeating myself. I have received an Apple TV. All of my TVs have only one HDMI port and it is being used by my cable provider. Does anyone have suggestions on how to set up the Apple TV and still have access to the cable provider as well?

Not very elegant and shows that nothing is ever quite as simple as it seems. Thanks for the help though!
