ATV looses network settings every day since latest update

I've had no problems with my ATV since I bought it after Macworld. I installed the latest 2.1 update (from 2.0.1) a couple weeks ago. Now it forgets the network settings at least once a day. It sees the network just fine but doesn't remember the password. After I reenter the password, all is fine for a few minutes to a few hours. Then it's back to square one. Any ideas anyone?

I got my new 160G ATV yesterday. Set up was fine for the first 2 hours, then lost the connection & network settings. I had to do a factory restore to get it to recognize the network again, after restarting, cold-booting the works. Once again worked fine for about 12 hours, then it lost the settings again. Tried the restart, cold boot and factory restore...found my wireless network, but would not accept my WEP key. Updated the software, tried switching to WPA/WPA2, nothing. Finally removed all security settings and it's been now working for 16 hours no prob. This is NOT and ideal solution. I had begun to think it was my router, but now after seeing all these posts I realize that this is a common problem. For now I'm OK, but I really don't want folks freeloading off me. SO APPLE YOU NEED TO FIX THIS AND SOON!

ATV looses network settings

I have a problem with my ATV. I normally switch the ATV off (I pull out the power cord), when I'm not at home.
After having downloaded a new version oof the ATV version, the ATV looses the network settings and the password after the restart, so I have to reenter always when I turn it on again.
Does anybody know how I can prevent entering all settings again after every restart?
Thanks and regards,
Seb

For better or for worse, the ATV wasn't designed to be powered off so frequently. I would recommend keeping it plugged in and only pull the plug on it when it needs a hard reset to clear problems that can't be cleared by less disruptive means.

ATV looses network connection if PC reboots or iTunes closes and reopens.

ATV looses network connection upon iTunes closing (i.e computer turning off or going to sleep.) I'm then required to re-input the network password (p.i.t.a.) every time I come home from work, or the power surges, or iTunes closes, etc.
Thoughts?

Hi Lucy,
To address the suggestions you made:
There's too much code, performance needs to be
improved. - Does anybody know of useful utilities to monitor cpu
performance as a sort of watch dog.
There is a software package called the Execution Trace Toolkit you can use to monitor the performance of your Real Time applications. If you have access to this software through a developer suite or a site license it would be worth installing that.
If not there are a number of other things you can try first.
The network or vi server is shutting down - Again, I'd appreciate some help on how to monitor this.
To determine if the problem is caused by the network you should connect to the cRIO with a cross over cable and see if you see the same behaviour. This will help determine if the problem is down to the network or the cRIO system.
Once you've isolated the source of the problem (ie the crio or the network) we can investigate the cause and hopefully come up with a resolution.
Kind regards

Since latest update to airport extreme im getting 10 unknown base station and time capsule items showing in airport utility as a network. when able to "forget" them they initially drop off but soon return. how do i get them deleted and stay that way

since latest update to airport extreme im getting 10 unknown base stations and time caps showing up as though they are a part of my network. sometimes i can "forget" them and they will disappear initially but soon return. i need and want only my connection inside my home . any ideas. i have done a factory reset and set up a new network but they continue to show up.

I'm not convinced that the problem lies in Airport Utility. This same thing was happening to me, nearly exactly as you describe it. The thing is that with me, the problems clearly started when I updated the firmware in my Airport Express (n). That's when all the wacky stuff started happening. Sometimes it would show up in AU, sometimes it didn't and even if it didn't, I could still access the internet through it.
But as you said, the problems got really bad when another Express (b/g) was put on the network with it. Even when it did work, the (b/g) would make it impossibly slow.
You know more about this than me, and clearly have more patience if you've restarted the network fifty times. I gave up at about ten.
In any case, your solution is more of a work around and if you're still having that slow connection problem, I'm not sure you've got it. But thanks for your reporting of this. At least I know I'm not crazy.

Firefox 4 (& 4.0.1) has consistently crashed every day since I installed it ONLY when I am visiting The Guardian's website. Any ideas please?

Firefox 4 (and 4.0.1) has crashed every day since installation ONLY when I am visiting The Guardian's website. I usually have 15+ tabs open but the browser remains steady with every other web page... thoughts please.

I checked the crash reports but could not establish the cause of the crashes. The number of tabs open is unlikely to have an impact upon this.
One of the associated bug reports indicates that it may be related to extensions. Try the procedure in the following link to start Firefox in safe mode and see if it still crashes. If it does not crash in safe mode it indicates that an extension may be causing this.

HT6058 my ipad screen will not rotate since latest update

my ipad scrren will not rotate since latest update, i have done everything i can think of including wha tapple told me

What have you tried, and what did Apple tell you ?
Is there a lock symbol at the top of the screen next to the battery indicator ? If there is, then depending on what you've got Settings > General > Use Side Switch To set to (rotation lock or mute notifications), then you can lock/unlock the rotation by the switch on the right hand side of the iPad above the volume switch, or via control centre : swipe up from the bottom edge of the screen and it's the right-most of the 5 icons in the middle of it (if the icon is white then it's 'on', tap it to turn it grey and 'off'). The function that isn't on the side switch is set via control centre instead : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085
If there isn't a lock symbol then try a soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Have lost Hotmail since latest update

Since latest update cannot open Hotmail ,screen is blank apart from send ,reply icons etc along top of screen.
mail is coming in number of mails goes up on mail icon but can't access .

There are several possible causes for this issue. Take each of the following steps until it's resolved.
1. Follow the instructions in this support article.
2. Reset the System Management Controller.
3. If you're using a Bluetooth trackpad, investigate potential sources of interference, including USB 3 devices.
4. A swollen battery in a MacBook Pro or Air can impinge on the trackpad from below and cause erratic behavior. If you have trouble clicking the trackpad, this is likely the reason. The battery must be replaced.
5. There's a report that a (possibly defective) Thunderbolt Ethernet adapter can cause the built in trackpad of a MacBook to behave erratically. If you're using such an adapter, disconnect it and test.
6. There's also a report of erratic cursor movements caused by an external display that was connected but not turned on.
7. If none of the above applies, or if you have another reason to think your computer is being remotely controlled, remove it from the network by turning off Wi-Fi (or your Wi-Fi access point), disconnecting from a Bluetooth network link, and unplugging the Ethernet cable or USB modem, whichever is applicable. If the cursor movements stop at once, you should suspect an intrusion.
8. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine tested.

Hi the best way to solve your problems is to Restore To factory settings this will get rid of any bugs Backup to iCloud on iPad Go to settings Reset Factory Restore You will get all your data back after this You just need to use the same Apple ID Also sometimes cloud drive can be a problem of so disable this in settings Later.

Downgrading the iOS is not supported by Apple.Have yo tried:
- Backing up and restore from backup. See:

- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
- Go to the OverDrive support site

My Windows XP and Windows 7 iTunes no longer 'see' my AppleTV since latest update (25/02/2013). Also, my AppleTV tells me I must turn on Home Sharing which is already turned on.

My Windows XP and Windows 7 iTunes no longer 'see' my AppleTV since latest update (25/02/2013). Also, my AppleTV tells me I must turn on Home Sharing which is already turned on. I have the little arrow that normally selects my AppleTV in iTunes but AppleTV is no longer listed (only My Computer). Is there an issue with the latest update. This is probably my fault by telling everyone how good AppleTV is and that it just works! Doesn't work any more :-( I have tried all the usual restarting of AppleTV and PCs. I'm having to revert back to the Samsung Blu-ray player's PC sharing :-(

Restarted router(s) and it works again.

HT202157 My apple tv 3 doesnt work at all since latest update, how can I restore when it wont even turn on?

Having trouble with my apple tv since latest update, it has died and can't turn on as it doesn't recognise anything, what can I do?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
If your problem persists get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
    1.    Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
    2.    Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
    3.    Reconnect the power cable (only for Apple TV 3)
    4.    Open iTunes.
    5.    Select your Apple TV in the Devices list, and then click Restore.
(You may already have a micro USB cable if you have a camera or other digital device)

Cannot send virginmedia webmail since latest update

Can send virginmedia webmail with other browsers. Virgin have checked and all connections are fine - they can use my webmail but since latest update I cannot

See
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
- I would start with
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
- Then do the other actions of:

paying special attention to item #5
- New cable and different USB port
- Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause

Syncing with iPad mini does no longer work since latest update of iTunes

Syncing with iPad mini does no longer work since latest update of iTunes and iPad mini

Hi grecokev,
Thank you for contributing to the Apple Support Communities.
You mention that your iPod nano is no longer recognized by iTunes after an update. Reinstalling iTunes is a good troubleshooting step, and if the device still doesn't appear in iTunes, try the following steps next:
Turn off your computer and your iOS device or iPod, then turn them on again.
Check to make sure that you've installed all required updates for your computer.
Verify that the 30-pin to USB cable or Lightning Connector to USB cable is free of debris and not damaged. If another cable is available, test with that cable instead.
USB cables that are bundled with third-party products or accessories might work only to charge those products and might not transmit data. Also, if you're using a third-party case or extended battery pack, try removing the case and connecting the Apple-supplied USB cable directly to your device.
You can find these steps in this troubleshooting article:
iPhone, iPad, or iPod not recognized in iTunes for Windows - Apple Support
If the steps above don't solve it, see the section of the article called "Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is installed" for some additional steps to try on your PC.
Best Regards,
Jeremy
