FIX FOR IOS 6 WIRELESS ISSUE

Settings/iCloud
Turn off "Find my iPad" or "Find my iPhone"
Once I did this I could connect & stay connected without the Apple login screen popping up.
I then turned "Find..." back on without issue
HTH

Based on what I'm seeing from others this may have just been coincidental with a fix from Apple ...

Found fix for iOS 6 wifi issues

go to settings-safari-turn off "use cellular data"-connect to wifi-go back and turn it on again.

If you are having the issue where it takes you to a login page, goto Settings > WiFi and tap on the blue button to the right of your network name. There'll probably be an option to auto-join and you'll want to toggle that. If it's off, turn it on then back off. If it's on, toggle it off. If prompted to login again, just hit Cancel in the upper-right. Now goto Safari app and you should be prompted to connect to your network at which time it should work. It did for me at least and a friend of mine.

Is there a fix for the wifi connectivity issue after ios6 update?

Is there a fix for the wifi connectivity issue after ios6 update?
Cannot connect to any wifi since update to 6.0.1
How do I get update to 6.0.2?
Will that even help?

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

When will apple release an update with bug fixes for ios 6?

when will apple release an update with bug fixes for ios 6?

When indeed. I purchased iPhone 5 64gb and have so far experienced the following issues/Bugs
1. Flash on camera out of sync
2. Cannot connect to some WIFI Bluetooth drvices
3. Missing Album Artwork on iTunes album view
4. Buggy and confused maps/satnav
5. iMessage comes and goes
6. Battery Life *****

Please come out with a new fix for IOS 7.1 Apple!

Dear Apple,
Please create a fix for the battery life issue for ios 7.1 for 5S.
I have tried restoring the phone to new and problem persist.
When the phone was new, even when Im on LTE, the battery does not suck at all.
With LTE, the battery was stable back when the phone was new.
Now Im losing 2% every minute even with LTE off and other things like Background App refresh and Brightness etc turned off and low.
5S is too expensive of a phone to have this problem.

You ARE NOT addressing Apple here by posting in a public user to user technical support forum, a fact that you were made fully aware of when you signed up to the forum and signed and accepted the terms and conditions before joining.
If you want to give Apple feedback, then send them feedback directly - http://www.apple.com/feedback, but don't post it here where nobody can do anything about it.

Is Apple working on bug fixes for IOS 8.0.2? Wish I had NOT updated! Terrible on IPad2!

IS Apple working on bug fixes for IOS 8.0.2? It is terrible on IPad2, wish I had NOT updated!

Since "upgrading" to iOS8.x my IPad2 is so slow and buggy. If the old hardware can't handle the new iOS, Apple should say so.

Bug fix for Mac book wireless - problem solved!

Aparantly there is a rather large number of folks out there who've discovered this dillema with wireless not working very well at this point on the Macbook.
Well, I can attest there is one very good solution out there for this issue. This application called Sonar Theater from www.sunray.tv includes a bug fix for the wireless connection issues with Macbook in their latest 1.5 release of Sonar Theater.
I downloaded it, put it into my start up folder and waalaa! problem solved. I've haven't any more issues with dropped wireless since - it's been running constantly for over 2 weeks now.
I haven't even attempted to touch my router configuration - don't need to.

Welcome to the better life of Macs. I am using Sonar Theater too and it's been working very well for me. In fact, I'm getting hooked on just texting a message to my Mac book to fire up user sessions now. I think if you give the Mac Book some time however, you'll find that there really is no comparison to PC's. Your life overall is going to just keep getting better as you dig in to the resources available to new Mac users.
I'm sure it seems confusing to PC users at first, but here's how to set up any application as part of your startup sequence. It really is extremely easy and simple compared to the PC world. Oh and by the way, in reality, Mac users refer to this as your login sequence. So, at login time, you can do a multitude of different things for each user account you might want to set up. Naturally, you can choose to share or not share applications and data between these user accounts on your Mac too....
Mac OS X 10.3 or later
1. Log in as the user who wishes to have a login item or as an admin user.
2. Choose System Preferences from the Apple menu.
3. Choose Accounts from the View menu.
4. Click the name of the user.
5. Click the Startup Items button
6. Click the "Add {+}" button.
The item you selected will automatically open the next time you log in.
there are several ways to get good info from the apple community on tips and tricks as well. you should just try the apple os x web site...here,

happy mac-ing!

Any fix for MS mouse scrolling issue?

Hey there. I've somewhat recently come into a problem where my Microsoft wireless mouse won't scroll through the iTunes library with the scroll wheel.
I've done other searches, I've seen others with the same problem, but no solutions.
Is this a permanent issue between the Microsoft mouse and the iTunes program that we have to wait for an official fix, or did something go wrong in my installations and I can fix the problem myself? (I have the newest IntelliPoint drivers and the newest version of iTunes).
The problem wasn't evident in XP, so it's probably a Vista vs. iTunes thing, but I wanted to make sure I wasn't doing something wrong or if there was an easy fix for it.

***** to have to buy a new mouse to fix the problem, I like how this mouse feels and moves (sigh..I love censors)
I guess when this one is about ready to be replaced I'll turn to logitech, but hopefully some sort of patch or fix will be introduced to let MS mice scroll in iTunes lol

This is a workaround for the MBP wireless issue

There have been many topics on the MBP wireless issues already, but I thought some people might find this workaround helpful.
Firstly, my system is a 2.2Ghz MBP, running 10.4.10, and also airport extreme update 2007-04. I am using an airport express base station. My previous Powerbook never had any wireless problems, so I really couldn't blame the basestation for the MBPs poor wireless.
Warning - The workaround requires a little bit of work in the terminal. A little bit of understanding of how networks work is assumed here as well. So it is probably not for everyone ...
What I have observed - whenever the MBP loses connection, the airport basestation IP and MAC addresses are missing from the ARP table.
- To view the ARP table, type (in a terminal window) arp -a.
So, when the MBP wireless hangs, open up the terminal and type that in.
Do a Cntrl-C if the arp command is hanging and not returning anything.
In normal situations, a list of IP addresses and MAC addresses will show up.
As others have already noted, clicking on the airport icon in the menubar, will magically bring the wireless back to life. When this happens, the ARP table also gets magically populated correctly. Coincidence? I think not!
So, the workaround is to store a PERMANENT entry in the ARP table for the airport basestation IP and MAC address. In my case, I can use the Airport Utility software to confirm what the basestation IP and MAC addresses are (note MAC address = Airport ID in Airport Utility). I found the basestation IP=10.0.1.1 and the MAC=0:11:24:07:d7:f
To create a permanent ARP table entry for my airport basestation, I opened up a terminal window, and did the following -
1) login to my administrator account
2) type in the following command sudo arp -s 10.0.1.1 0:11:24:7:d7:f
3) type in my administrator password to authorise the change
4) type in (to confirm the changes have been made) arp -a
5) logout of my administrator account (from the terminal)
Ever since I did this, my MBP wireless performance has been flawless.
Note, if you shutdown or restart your computer, the arp entry disappears. This is ok for me as I hardly ever power down my MBP. As insurance I have added an account startup item to remind me to do the arp table entry.
This workaround is great for me because I don't have a need to use multiple wireless networks. It might not be practical for people who roam around onto different networks.
Give it a go and see if it works for you.

OK, after some further experimenting, I changed the multicast rate on my airport express. It was set at 6Mbps, and I changed it to 2Mbps.
I have read that the default multicast rate for previous 802.11g versions of Airport basestations is actually 2mbps. Excellent results so far !! I have set up a terminal command to continuously ping my airport router address every 15 sec, and there have been virtually no dropped packets so far over many hours.
ping -i 15 10.0.1.1
Interestingly, in Apple's Airport Admin software in my MBP there is no option to set the rate at less than 6Mbps (!!!!), so I had to use the Windows XP version of Airport admin software to make this change using a windows machine. Using the XP software you can set the muticast rate as low as 1Mbps.
If you are using Apples airport admin software (Tiger and Leopard) and you commit any sort of change in settings, the multicast rate will be re-set at a minimum of 6Mbps. My understanding of the multicast rate is that setting it too high is similar to shrinking the coverage area of the basestation, and limiting access only to clients who can transmit at the required multicast rate.
So my new theory is that the dropouts are caused by the MBP dropping off the airport due to not being able to achieve the set multicast rate. (this could be due to factors such as low signal strength, excessive interference or noise).
If you are using Apples more recent Airport admin software, you are having a minimum 6mbps muticast rate set, and this might be too high for your particular environment.
Just a theory.
(oh yeah, I enabled interference robustness on the MBP and the basestation just for good measure)

Is there a fix for IOS 12.1 breaking Overdrive?

After upgrading Itunes to IOS 12.1, Overdrive Media Console can not see the Ipod Touch. The message when attempting to transfer is, "No portable players could be found."
I tested 4 different Ipods which had all been working with Overdrive with the same result. I then took all four Ipods to a system running Itunes 10.7.0.21 and all were visible and able to transfer to the Ipods.
OS: Windows 8.1
Ipod 6.6.1
Itunes 12.1.0.71, 64 bit
Is there a fix for this or do I have to downgrade?

Any fix for the kernel panic issue?

So far, i've had 12 kernel panics. Usually it only happens when I start iTunes or software update. I read in a developer forum it was because of the NVIDIA Graphics card. So, are there any fixes for the kernel panics with Lion?

There is no bluetooth connectivity issue after the recent OS update. There may be a problem with your phone, which may or may not be related to the update. A "common problem" looks like this in the forums:
I haven't seen any threads on BlueTooth with over 1.4 million views and over 12,000 replies, or even any vaguely close. For any problem that someone has there is bound to be someone else amoung 150 million users who have it. That doesn't make it a "common problem."
If you tell us what the problem is specifically and what you have done so far to try to resolve it someone can probably help you.

When is the new fix for ios 8 coming after 8.0.1 failed?

Wi-Fi is slow, my battery is draining very fast, and my photos on the Cloud are not on my device anymore. Ive also experienced some freezing and non responses to touch at various times. When will you resend the fix after the fix?

None of your issues have anything to do with 8.0.1. The only issue with 8.0.1 is some phones can no longer connect to the cellular network. If your phone has cell phone and data service you don't have an 8.0.1 problem, but you probably have an app problem. If you really want to go back to 8.0 just restore your phone using iTunes and it will reinstall 8.0, as 8.0.1 has been pulled.

Any fix for ios 5 soft subs?

I'm a new user. I'm just learning the ins and outs of apple. I have downloaded an app 'Gpalyer'. Now I'm just wondering if there's already a fix for playing soft subtitles in ios5?
As most of ios5 users experience, movie players do not show the 2nd line of soft subs anymore.

I have browsed discussions also in this community and I found several topics concerning similar problems but no fix was offered. Any ideas or work around for this problem?

Is there a fix for the MBP wireless dropping issue?

I began to experience the Macbook Pro dropping wireless connectivity on my very 1st Apple in 2008. At the end of the day my machine was replaced with a new Macbook Pro mid 2010. It appeared to be working just fine until about 2-3 months ago when I started dropping my wireless printer connection. I searched the internet hoping for a driver update from HP or something from Apple and each time I found something, the problem still existed. I even thought that by upgrading to Lion would resolve any issues that I have with my MBP wireless connectivity issue. After upgrading to buying a new router, new printer and upgrading to Lion; the wireless dropping issue still remains unresolved! I know there are several hundred in not thousands of people who are having the same problem so what are we supposed to do?
When my 1st MBP was replaced in 2010 I had to stop working because I was diagnosed with "Failed Back Surgical Syndrome" and was in the process of applying for disability. Something in the back of my mind said that I needed to purchase Apple Care for this new replacement however I had used all of my savings & retirement to sustain life for me and my family that there was nothing for Apple Care. If it weren't for my church and family I am not sure what I would do during the 18 months of no income while waiting for a decision only to receive an appeal until I findly stood in front of an Administrative Law Judge who heard my case and granted me disability. Besides there was no way I could ask anyone for money to purchase a warranty for a top of the line laptop while the country was falling off an economical cliff.
I broke down and called Apple Support and was told that I qualified for technical assistance regarding the upgrade to Lion a few weeks ago. The tech on the phone had me run some disk utility tests and had me repair permissions which she said could be the cause of the problem. I willingly went along with her in hopes that this was indeed the fix. However, within 10 minutes of hanging up the phone my MBP began to drop it's wireless connection to my new HP printer and also the Internet. Hence my question above is what I am really looking to have answered! What is the fix to this problem that so many people are having issues with? I couldn't afford to purchase Apple Care back in 2010 and I can't afford to purchase a new 2011 machine today if that truly is the fix!
I will be disabled for the remainder of my life and I have grown dependent upon my computer to stay in touch with friends and colleges from work. I worked for the IT Group at Wynn Resorts and I can say that the type of service Appple is providing it's customers is not what I learned over the past 25 years with Mr. Wynn. Why can't Apple get the simple concept that it's customers are it's life line and keeps them in business. I need help and I don't know what to do nor where to turn. It would be different if Apple acknowledged the issue and said they were working on it however they aren't. I plead to Apple to help me fix my notebook so I can stay connected to the outside world vs. couped up inside my home.
Best Regards,
Scott Leavitt

I am simply lookig for some help not an argument. I am not an RF specialist however have setup a few wireless networks in my tenure at Wynn Resorts. I fully agree that wireless networking is an art and a science however the powers that be in Network Land have toughted wireless networking is the easiest and quickest way to get two computers to talk with one another. As I previously said I have already turned one (1) MBP in for this problem and Apple decided to replace it because they could not fix the problem with my particular MBP. This MBP was running Leopard when the problems started
I am having a hard time believeing that there are several other devicces in my home that depend on a wireless network to operate and my MBP is the only one having an issue. I took this a step further and decided to see what would happen if I tried to connect wirelessly via Fusion. In Windows 7 I am able to print and scan to my hearts content without any issues. I am able to browse the internet as much as I want. I close Fusion and try to connect to my printer via wireless and nothing.
In order to get Apple to help do I need to get a Network Analyzer and capture packets when I have these problems? Out of the 1000 + posts is there a consolidation of which answer is the best? BTW I am accessing the internet via a wireless connection using Fusion and Windows 7.
In response to Linc's comments, I will look at the router specifications however I did not qualify that these devices are not using the wireless connection at the same time. Right now I would guess there are maybe two (2) or three (3) at the most that are actively transmitting / receiving information. -- Thanks

Temp fix for iOS 6 not pushing Exchange mail

All,
If you are reading this, you are probable having the same problem as I am:
After you switched to the iPhone 5, Exchange mail is no longer PUSHing to your device. I have done testing and this problem affects:
1) iPhone 5's running connecting to Exchange 2007 or Exchange 2010 servers.
This does not effect:
1) my iPhone 4S running iOS 6 Beta 6.0 10A5376e
Troubleshooting:
1) Wiped phone and started with completely fresh iOS 6 on my iPhone 5. The only thing I did was add my exchange account.
-Still had same issue.
** How to fix this issue:
1. Go to Mail, Contacts, and Calendar. Click "Fetch New Data". Make sure push is on.
2. Go back to Mail, Contact, and Calendar. Click on your exchange account. Click on "Days to Sync". Even if it is set to what you want this on, chance it to a different setting (i.e. 1 week). You can change this back later, but this is the only way to fix it.
3. Go back to Mail COntact and Calendar. Click on "Show". No matter what this setting is on, change it to a different setting. (i.e. 100 recent messages).
4. Reboot your iPhone 5
5. Exchange PUSH will be working now.
Thanks,
Clay

Thanks Superclay, but I've already tried that and more...still no luck it works for like 5 to 10 minutes then stops pushing. I even went as far replacing my iphone 5 today and still no luck. I also deleted my exchange account from my exchange server and recreated it, deleted device partnerships and re-added.....nothing push is still not working. Push email for me is very significant. I too am on Verizon. I had to go back to my 4S which is running IOS 6 but push works flawlessly on that device. It must be some kind of code that runs on the IOS 6 version for iphone 5 that is fudging this up. I hope Apple and Verizon tackle this issue immediately because its causing me not to use my iphone 5, such a critical feature....not working...stay positive!
