Handful of devices some work sometimes

I have a lot of devices Ipad, Ipad2, Mac book, Mac book air, Iphone, Imac, ect. Anyway we (my tech and I) are trying to get wireless setup. He is able to connect to the wireless using a laptop computer. It has windows XP and ubuntu linux on it. They connect and work without trouble. My apple devices are hit and miss. The ipad2 worked one day, then the next day it fell off the network and wouldn't reconnect. The same thing happened with the mac book air. The windows xp and linux always seem to connect.
He is wondering if we shouldn't just send back the wireless access point we purchased and buy an Airport because its made by apple. Apparentally he has been seting up wireless networks for a long time and has seen a problem like this in the past between linksys and dlink. Their devices were setup correctly but would fail to connect to each other. Once the products matched it works even though the setup really hasn't changed. What do you think?

802.11 is a universal standard so there shouldn't be a problem with that. I have set up a lot of WiFi networks and have never seen a problem like that (I have an AirPort Extreme and everything connects to it, I used to have a Netgear and everything connected to that etc.)
However, I would advise sending back the router as it appears faulty.

  • Facetime, and multiple devices, some work some don't

    I have sort of successfully downloaded Facetime onto my MacBook Pro and it works fine with iPhone.  The iPhone works fine with my parents iPad.  BUT I cannot get my MacBookPro to contact my parents iPad.  Incidently I cannot edit the contacts within  Facetime.  Someone suggested changing the IDS no's but the ones suggested don't seem to make sense.  Can anyone help?

    When you edit your address book contacts info on your Macbook (e-mail, phone nimber,etc) it will be automatically imported into your FaceTime contacts list.
    I assume that your parents ipad has an individual e-mail address id, apart from yours.  If that's not the case, then you will not be able FT with them.
    I do notice that many of the problems associated with FT seem to be related to folks using Macbooks, so it leads me to believe there may be a software issue involed, which can be frustrating to solve.

  • HT204409 Suddenly my ipad seems unable to connect to our wifi. All other devices are working normally. Have I accidentally done something or is it a fault with my ipad ?

    Suddenly my ipad is unable to connect to our wifi. It buffers all the time?
    All other devices are working normally. Is this a fault wityh my ipad or have I inadvertantly altered some setting?

    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

  • Another Handoff not working - Apple has some work to do still

    By the number of post I see about handoff problems…. it looks like Apple still has some work to do on this feature.  I have read countless forum posts and replies and it seems that a large number of us are having trouble with this feature. 
    I have pulled all my hair out trying to sort this out…. not so much as I care about the feature as I am the type that can't stand it when I can't get something working. 
    My hardware is all supported 2012 MBP with Yosemite Bluetooth LMP 0x6
    iPhone 5s
    Same Wifi
    Bluetooth on both devices
    Both on same iCloud account turned on and active
    Both have handoff enabled in respective settings
    The only time I have been able to get it to work is when I wipe both iCloud accounts and then sign back on after a restart then I get the handoff dock icon when doing something like creating a new email.  But it will works once or twice and then stops all together.  Randomly sometime the icon will be on the lock screen of the iPhone.
    Very frustrating Apple!
    (Yea I know 1st world problem)

    Over the last week I have tried every "Windows Vista" combination of unchecking handoff, FaceTime, and signing in and out of iCloud while patting my head and rubbing my belly.  And absolutely nothing worked.  A few times I got handoff to work one time and then disappear again after a restore and power cycle but none of the countless tips I have read and seen worked.
    Until today.  I was listening to the iMore Podcast this week and they were ranting about all the people that are having continuity issues and one small blurb was mentioned that I had never heard, and this little gem was solving the handoff woes for some people.  So what the heck I have tried everything else and this was simple enough.
    The solution:  Change the name of your iPhone.  Setting>General>About>Name
    I did this in combination with all the other Windows Vista Vudoo Handoff, FaceTime, iCloud off on both devices then power cycle.
    Well once I restarted and got everything turned back on.  It worked perfect…. everything single aspect is not working as Apple had intended it to work.
    Go figure…. who would have thought????

  • When you sighn in and out of an ios device some of the data fom the device sighned in stays after sighning out. Is this the same for PC and if so how do you delete all the data from my icloud from the pc

    When sighning in and out of an ios device some of the icloud data from the icloud account used to sighned in stays even after sighning out. Is it the same on pc icloud and if so how do you delete it. ( This is the online site by the way.)

    Hi turintest2
    Thanks for taking the time to respond - however your reply didn't really help as you haven't explained how to delete the compilation album that had been created.
    I managed to sort it out by doing the following (I'm posting this so that it may help others).  I don't know if this is the simplest/most elegant solution - but it works.
    In iTunes, find the compilation (in my case, the 153 songs) and, starting with the first song, follow this procedure:
    On the iPhone go to 'Songs' and scroll down the list until you find the first song that was listed in iTunes (above).  You should notice (as in my case) that the song will have the correct title (and artwork too if you'd found this previously before making the compliation) but the wring artist.
    Swipe LEFT and press the 'Delete' button.
    Repeat with second song in iTunes list, deleting the individual songs from the iPhone, one by one.
    Although tedious, this seemed to work for me.  Reason for doing down the iTunes list is that it is in a pseudo-alphabetical order and I wanted to make sure I'd got every one.
    Now busy re-importing the original albums from CD.
    Thank you APPLE for making this such a laborious process.  Why can't designers actually TEST the products they design so that they can appreciate first-hand the likely problems?
    Anyhow, thanks turintest2 for trying to help me - it was appreciated.

  • Optimum hand held device...

    Hey there... I need to get a hand held device (palm or similar), nevertheless, I want to make sure the one I get is 110% compatible with my mac OS and entourage... I am pretty new with mac (although I do consider I have got the hang of it now) and when I bought my mbp I had a terrible time changing all my info from my pc... Although most of the applications stated they where 100% compatible, they actually weren't... I do not want this to happend to me again... Any sugestions? I am prepared to pay a hefty price as long as it really works and makes my "complicated" life a bit simpler...
    Thanks in advance...

    MarkSpace The Missing Sync works very well for Palm. I can't say the same for Pocket PC as I've never used it.
    I've previously had a Pocket PC and used PocketMac Pro. It took them over 8 months to produce a universal binary, so I bought a Palm instead.
    PocketMac Pro does boast Entourage compatibility though.
    Honestly, I'd get a Palm (I'm partial to the Treo 700p and the T|X, I own both and they're phenomenal) and Missing Sync. DO NOT INSTALL PALM DESKTOP, and then just use Missing Sync. I am not sure the compatibility with Entourage, but just check their website (it's great) and see what you can find.
    It's a great program, I'd highly recommend it! Always remember the only device "truly" compatible with OS-X is Palm OS - Windows is made to work with windows, and you will always have SOME sort of problem with connectivity.
    Good luck with your purchase!
    Edit: The markspace website says it has conduit support for Entourage 2004.

  • Bluetooth device stopped working suddenly.

    Hello,
    My bluetooth controller was working till yesterday and stopped working suddenly today i am not sure what caused the problem,  I use a bluetooth headset and when i tried to connect it today i saw that it was failing and when i tried to reboot the system then everything is gone, the logs seems to throw some strange errors.  Please see my system configuration below.

    I have the same bluetooth controller (0cf3:3005, Atheros AR3011) on my laptop (ASUS K53SV) and have the exact same problem. Bluetooth works for a while until tx errors start showing up:
    [24952.326871] Bluetooth: hci0 command 0x0c1a tx timeout
    [24954.332842] Bluetooth: hci0 command 0x0c52 tx timeout

    [24993.806536] Bluetooth: hci0 command 0x0408 tx timeout
    [25033.899824] Bluetooth: hci0 command 0x0408 tx timeout

    [25075.805968] Bluetooth: hci0 command 0x0408 tx timeout
    Resetting the bluetooth device works sometimes but not always. There is always a chance that the device will just become unresponsive to any kinds of commands:
    # hciconfig hci0 reset
    Can't init device hci0: Connection timed out (110)
    I've tried various methods (block/unblock them with rfkill, `rmmod btusb` & `modprobe btusb`, etc) but none works after the device is "dead". The only way to recover seems to be powering off the laptop (simply rebooting doesn't fix the problem).

  • Syncing of Notes is very inconsistent - sometimes works, sometimes not

    The syncing of notes is inconsistent. Sometimes it syncs properly, sometimes not. I had a note with a food list, deleted stuff on the phone, and the sync brought back all the stuff I had deleted. I tried syncing with Mail not running and same deal - sometimes it works, sometimes not. It seems to work better if I edit the note on the Mac. In that case the changes always seem to work.

    Hello caryehart,
    It sounds like your touchscreen is erratically functioning for you. I recommend the troubleshooting in the following article:
    iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Troubleshooting touchscreen response
    Restart your device
    Hold the On/Off button until "slide to power off" appears. Slide to power off your device. When it is off, press the On/Off button to turn it back on.
    If you can't restart your device, reset it by pressing and holding the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for a least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    Clean the screen with a soft, slightly damp, lint-free cloth.
    Avoid using the device while wearing gloves, with wet hands, or immediately after applying hand lotion.
    If you have a protective case, or if you are using a plastic sheet or film on the display, try removing them and testing the device without it.
    If the steps above don't resolve your issue, please schedule a service appointment with an Apple Retail Store for evaluation. If an Apple Retail store is not an option, contact Apple to find out your best service option or see the Service FAQ for your product.
    If it comes down to contacting Apple with the above link, I would recommend you backup and restore your iPhone as a new device:
    iOS: How to back up your data and set up your device as a new device
    If it seems to function correctly after that, I would restore the backup and either verify that it still works, or isolate the issue to the backup itself.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Sterling

    Hi iTunes-1,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!  The error message you posted indicates a possible firmware update is needed for iTunes for Windows to work with your CD drive.  
    iTunes for Windows: Updating the firmware on your CD or DVD drive - Apple Support
    http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201852
    Having outdated firmware can cause issues using CDs and DVDs with iTunes for Windows. Firmware is a type of software stored in a chip in hardware that can sometimes be updated.Identifying drives and firmware versions
    To run CD Diagnostics, follow the steps in this document.
    After following the steps to run CD Diagnostics linked above, look at section three to find out more about your optical drive(s).
    Here is an example of what section three might look like:
    In this example there are two drives. Drive E is a Samsung DVD-ROM drive with a model designation of SD-616 that has firmware version F000. Drive F is an NEC drive with a model designation of NR-7900A that has firmware version 1.08.Updating the firmware
    If the optical drive you are using came with your computer, check with the support site for your computer for a firmware update. Typically you will need to go to the support website for the computer maker and click on a "downloads" or "updates" link, and then enter your computer model designation and operating system version to see what updates are available. Then look through the available updates for a firmware update for your optical drive. Download the updater and run it. If you need assistance applying the update, contact the maker of your computer.
    If the optical drive you are using came as a separate part (was not included with a computer), check the support site for the drive maker for a firmware update. Sometimes the manufacturer is not clear in the CD Diagnostics results. In that case, you may just have to search the Internet for the drive model designation. You can usually find out who made the drive by looking through the results of such a search. Once you have identified who made your drive, go to the support website for that company. Look for a "downloads" or "updates" link, and then enter your optical drive model designation. Download the updater and run it. If you need assistance applying the update, contact the maker of the optical drive.Verifying that the firmware was updated
    Run CD Diagnostics again.
    Examine the CD Diagnostics results. The firmware version for the drive should be the new version.

    Also, you mentioned that you have been successful burning a CD with the Windows OS.  Make sure that you have closed all software programs that can access the CD burner so that there isn't a conflict for the drive.   Sometimes chaning the burn speed from "maximum" to 8x can also help in this situation.
    I hope this information helps ...

  • My safari doesn't work sometimes, but I connect with the internet.

    my safari doesn't work sometimes, but I connect with the internet. Some of the videos I can't see with the Safari browser, but I can see it with other brower. But my friend can see these videos with her safari. And I can not connect with the app store sometimes.

    Before you try to configure the settings on your Router, first thing which you need to do is, Press and hold the reset button for 60 seconds...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your router, wait for 60 seconds and re-connect the power cable...
    Connect the Modem to the Linksys Router on the Internet Port and then connect your computer to the Linksys router on the LAN Port 1. On your Computer click on Start - Run - CMD and click Ok... Now in the Command Prompt window type "ipconfig" and hit enter and note down the "IP address, Subnet Mask and Default Gateway" , Now again in the Command Prompt window type "ping default gateway IP" and hit enter and check if you are getting any replies, If yes then you can login to the setup page of the configure all the settings on it from scratch.

These users that I try to contact run the gamut from aim on windows, to ichat on tiger, to ichat on leopard. And again, sometimes will work, sometimes not.
    I found an article on the web that states that multiple computers on your home network with the same user id's could cause this issue....Is that true? I have a 5 mac household, and the user id's are all the same. Now I'm only logged into ichat as me on my computer, so I'm not sure how that could happen.
    I have read the docs about ports to open, and I have opened them all, and then some, because I have found that sometimes ichat demands a port to be open that has nothing to do with those listed.
    Any clues?

    I have comcast as a service provider. They provide the modem. I have my own computer based router, running freebsd. I have full control over the firewall. I am running NAT inside the firewall. I have seen this behavior with both the firewall disabled, and with the ports I have opened. What is crazy is that while watching the security logs, when I test an account that doesn't work, I'll get a UDP deny on some arbitrary port that isn't supposed to be used by ichat.

    i have an iphone 5 that i traded with from a family member. its has coverage but now the sleep/wake button doesnt work sometimes. can apple replace my iphone and give me a new one or is it just something they can repair? i dont have the box or recipit to apple care or the iphone

    Apple can fix it without your receipt or box. They pull the serial number from the device and determine warranty status from that.  Hopefully ApplCare was registered to the product before you lost the receipt though.  If not, you can go back to the point of purchase and obtain your AppleCare receipt and Apple can help attach it to the iPhone.

  • I have a Tritton TRI-BC200 hands free device that my iPhone 5 no longer "sees" on Bluetooth, so, I cannot pair the device. Anyone have a suggestion? Tritton no longer supports the device.

    I had this problem and what I did was: read the user manual. I was actually using the wrong buttons to put the Tri-BC200 on pairing mode. I also boot my I phone. Everything worked OK. Regards.
