Here's a Temp Solution to the iOS6 WiFi Crisis

Hello fellow Apple users.
I updated to iOS 6 on my iPad 3 4G/64GB and like most of you, found the annoying pop-up Apple can't find page thing and that it wouldn't stay connected to my WiFi. 
I tried the solutions given around this forum (clear cache/cookies & reboot) but that didn't work for me.
What has worked for me is connecting to my 2.4GHz network.  I have a dual-band router, and as such, it sort of has two networks, and I always connect to the 5GHz network, since it's faster.  Since this wasn't working, I tried connecting to the 2.4GHz network and it's not having any issues at the moment.  No pop-ups and no disconnects.
Hopefully this works for at least some of you.  Also, it's not a solution, iOS 6.0.1 or something is, because this is unacceptable.  With the betas and all that, why is this even happening?

Hi,
You could also try resetting your airport express.

  • SOLuTION to the NO WIFI Issue

    Hello everyone!
    I too have not had a reliable wifi connection since the 2.0.2 update.
    While like most of you, I have been relying on apple to provide a solution in the 2.1 update. I was disappointed.
    Now it works "perfectly"...
    Shut down the iPhone.
    take out the sim card.
    Boot up the iphone.
    and there you go, the wifi works perfectly...

    ...until!!!!...
    you switch on the MAPS application!!!
    the GPS then messes something up.
    after that you an regain the "semi-functional" Wifi by resetting the network settings.
    You can even put the sim-card in and the wifi will keep working...
    Just don't start MAPS!

  • What do you think about running 2 security solutions at the same time? [malware event]

    Hi all
    Is there anyone here running 2 Security Solutions at the same time?
    From what I know, few of my lecturers are running AVG and Avira, or Avira and MSE. (All free)
    According to their theory, school-licensed Symantec Endpoint Protection slows down the system too much till a point that it is slow or unable to detect the threats. 1 antivirus is not good enough, 2 antivirus would be able to detect 100% of malware.
    For my school labs computer, they are running both Symantec Endpoint Protection and Microsoft Security Essential at the same time.
    Does 2 security solutions or more helps your computer to be risk-free?
    Cheers

    Hello,
    Generally speaking, you should not run two security programs together at the same time which run in "real-time," e.g., they are actively monitoring the system.  The reason for this is that the various real-time components (on-access file system scanner, network traffic filter, and so forth) may interfere with each others operations as they both attempt to access the same bits at the same time.  This can lead to all sorts of strange system behavior, such as slowdowns, program crashes, failed downloads and lock-ups.
    If you are going to do this, make sure you disable the realtime scanning components of one program, or use one program to actively monitor the system and the other to periodically perform an scheduled or manual scans on demand.

  • Why the poor wifi performance on iPhone 5

    I am using my iPhone 5 and five feet away my wife has her new iPad.  Both on the same wifi.  The iPad is showing three bars but the iPhone 5 goes from two to none.  It sometimes looses all wifi signal and drops off to cellular.  I thought one of the recent upgrades to the iOS was supposed to fix wifi reception problems on the iPhone 5.
    Any solutions?

    Some added info for my question.  We have an Airport Extreme on our computer and an Airport Express in the area where we sit to improve the signal.  My wife's iPad is about six feet away from the Express; I am about two feet.  Her signal has to go through me so I think the iPhone reception should be stronger.

  • I have downloaded the iOS6 software on my iPhone4 and now I can't delete/move or create new mail. The bar at the bottom has disappeared. Does anyone have any solutions

    I have downloaded the iOS6 software on my iPhone4 and now I can't delete/move or create new mail. The bar at the bottom has disappeared. Does anyone have any solutions?

    Hold Power and Home buttons until iPhone restarts. Ignore "Slide to Power off".

  • I downloaded the ios6 to my iphone and my moms phone  Now they are syncronized and I lost my contacts. All my phone numbers have emails in them but no phone numbers. Now whenever I get or send a text it shows up on her phone. How do I reverse it?

    I downloaded the ios6 update for the iphone to my phone and my moms"s phone. Now they are syncronized and I lost my contact telephone numbers. Now when I get a text or send  text it shows up on my mom's phone. I asked for help from the people at the ATT store and had no idea how to help me. That is crazy that they don't even know anything about their own products! This is EXTREMELY frustrating. Did you create a software that cannot be reversed or corrected? How to I restore my phone to the way it was? I am being told it can't be done. I have been an ATT customer for 8 years but I would love to go to Verizon right now. Pleae let me know how to reverse this and get the phones unsynced.

    If you share an Apple ID, both of your phone numbers should be linked to that ID. You should be able to use your phone number as well. My wife, my daughter and I all share an Apple ID for purchases, and we each text from our iOS devices using our own iPhone numbers.
    When iOS 6 came out, you were able to link the phone number with your Apple ID to use for Messages and FaceTime. You will need to sign out of messages on all devices and then start the process all over again.
    Take a look at this.

  • A Simple Solution to the Slowness Problem

    Here is a simple solution that worked for me and will probably work for a lot of other people too. Hold down the ALT key when you open iPhoto. iPhoto then allows you open a new library or choose from your existing libraries. If you open a new library you can download images from your camera into the new library. Presto! You have a small number of photos to work with and iPhoto chugs merrily along with no slowness whatsoever. You want to go to another library? Simple: close iPhoto, then reopen it while holding down the ALT key again. Choose the library you want. I have hunted high and low for a solution to the slowness problem for months. This is far and away the best one I have found.
    If you have a lot of photos in your existing library, you will need to divide it up into smaller libraries. I suggest making a library for each month of photos. If iPhoto is still slow on a particular library, divide that library into smaller libraries. This is time consuming, but at least you only have to do it once. It is worth it to get iPhoto back.

    AlexCox, can you clarify that once you get the default model out and save it in the temp var, that your ONLY access to the data is then through temp and never through the JList methods?
    Quick question for everyone: Are any of you using JList.setListData to set you initial dataset? I think that is where the bug lies. When I do not use it and start with an empty list, I am able to add to that list, and then remove from that list using the following line:
    ((DefaultListModel)myList.getModel).remove(###);
    And this cast works everytime.
    But when I start that list out with some data such as:
    myList.setListData(myStringArray);
    and then try to execute the above line, boom! I get the ClassCast exception.
    I think setListData creates a whole new model which is an inner class to JList (which seems stupid when DefaultListModel seems made for this).
    Just my thoughts on where the problem lies. I'll add my data directly to the list and see if that works better.

  • HT201210 I have tried to update to IOS6 and it has prompted me to connect to ITunes but when I do I keep getting the message ' There is no sim card inserted in the Iphone you are trying to activate'.  My phone is now locked on the IOS6 update screen!

    I have been without mu IPhone 4 since yesterday now as I tried to do the IOS6 update and since then it has messed up my phone and I am unable to access any of it's functions as it is locked on the update screen. 
    My phone was bought through Vodfone and have been on their network ever since, never had any problems like this.
    It prompts me to connect to ITunes and when I do it will not go any further as stating 'No sim card is inserted in the IPhone you are trying to activate'.  Well there is a sim in there and I have removed it and reinserted it on many occasions today.  I am also not trying to activate my phone as all I did was try to the update which I was prompted to do in my setting!
    I have seen many people on the net today with the same or similar problems but as yet I am to find a solution!
    Help, please as it is driving me crazy!!!

    Try a Hard Reset.....
    Press and hold the Wake / Sleep button AND the Home button at the same time, keep them both pressed until the Apple Logo appears on the screen, it can take 10 or more seconds.  Ignore the swipe to turn off message.

  • How to create a temp table in the memory, not in disk?

    in sql server, you can create a temp table in the memory instead of disk,
    then you can do the insert, delete,update and select on it.
    after finishing, just release it.
    in Oracle,
    I am wonderfing how to create a temp table in the memory, not in disk?
    thanks,

    Thanks for rectifying me Howard.
    I just read your full article on this too and its very well explained here:
    http://www.dizwell.com/prod/node/357
    Few lines from your article
    It is true, of course, that since Version 8.0 Oracle has provided the ability to create a Keep Pool in the Buffer Cache, which certainly sounds like it can do the job... especially since that word 'keep' is used again. But a keep pool is merely a segregated part of the buffer cache, into which you direct blocks from particular tables (by creating them, or altering them, with the BUFFER POOL KEEP clause). So you can tuck the blocks from such tables out of the way, into their own part of the buffer cache... but that is not the same thing as guaranteeing they'll stay there. If you over-populate the Keep Pool, then its LRU mechanism will kick in and age its contents out just as efficiently as an unsegregated buffer cache would.
    Functionally, therefore, there can be no guarantees. The best you can do is create a sufficiently large Keep Pool, and then choose the tables that will use it with care such that they don’t swamp themselves, and start causing each other to age out back to disk.
    Thanks and Regards

  • I have a MacBook Pro 2008 with 17 inch screen. Experiencing a lock up when turning on power to boot up. While booting up it goes to gray screen with Apple logo and disc spinning icon running and doesn't go to my desktop. Any solutions to the problem?

    I have an early 2009 17 inch MacBook Pro that just went on the fritz. When turning on the power it will go into boot up mode to the gray screen with the apple logo, then the disc icon will be running and will continue running, not allowing to proceed to my desk top screen. It's pretty much locked up at this point where I have to do a forced shut down by holding down the power button. I've tried everything that I know of such as taking battery out and pressing power button for 5 seconds and then reinstalling battery. I've cleaned inside of computer with compressed air duster in can as well as other key commands for resets. I've read that this is a common problem with the earlier MacBook Pros. Is this a problem that I can fix or does it have to be taken in for service? Any solutions to the problem would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    This could be a software/state problem or a hardware problem.  Here are steps to resolve the former.

  • My solution for the "Error -50" and/or "Syncing" problem

    Hi
    After upgrading to iPhoto 5.0.2 I also had the "Error: -50" problem"
    How have I solved this problem => also with the help and tips from other forums.
    • Before the upgrade all my pictures from iPhoto were available on my iPod Photo (30 GB)
    • After the upgrade of iPhoto to 5.0.2 I received the "Error: -50" every time I tried to synchronize my iPod. Strange, strange, strange, ...
    => first I detected that putting pictures on my iPod starting from a folder (in stead of iPhoto) worked fine.
    Trying to change back to iPhoto did not work and no albums where available in the iPod Options view!
    => then I tried to create a new iPhoto library (press and hold Option(alt)-key while starting iPhoto), put some pictures and albums in it ... and even this did not work.
    What did I do to solve this problem!
    1. I thrashed my iPhoto application (DO NOT empty you trash, because you have to put it back again)
    2. I used "Disk Utility" to repair the disk permissions.
    3. I put back my iPhoto application from the thrash (same location as before - Applications folder)
    4. and did again a "repair disk permissions"
    5. then I tried to sync my NEW iPhoto library on my iPod and EUREKA this worked.
    6. Then I switched back to my original iPhoto library (launch iPhoto holding the Option key).
    7. Tried to sync ... again the same problem => no pictures and albums available in the iPod - Optoins - Photo tab.
    => conclusion : the problem has to be in my iPhoto library
    8. after trying many things (such as eliminating albums => trail and error method) I found the cause for my problem.
    => I used KEYWORDS in my iPhoto library with strange characters and had SMART albums using it. In my situation it was the "&" character.
    Replacing or removing this character solved my problem. All my pictures and albums were available in the iPod - Options - Photo tab
    9. Sync could be started ... Youpi!
    After synchronizing my iPhoto library I noticed that not all pictures were available on the iPod. I start looking which pictures that were missing on my iPod. When I found them I wanted to know why they were not synchronized.
    I found the explanation in the file "AlbumData.xml" in the "iPhoto Library" folder.
    If you open this file with TextEdit and search for this missing file then you'll find that (at least in my case) corresponding path does not exist (any more). And that was the case for each missing file!
    How solving this problem?
    1. I tried rebuilding the iPhoto Library => launch iPhoto holding the Option and Command keys. This did not work.
    2. What did I do?
    2.1. First I exported all my Pictures from the active iPhoto Library (Share - Export)
    => VERY IMPORTANT NOTE : all extra info such as "Key words", Albums, ... will NOT be saved!
    2.2. I created a new iPhoto Library (launch iPhoto holding the Option key)
    2.3. Then I imported all exported pictures.
    => if you check the file paths in the AlbumData.xml file, you'll see that this info is correct!
    2.4. At least I recreated (manually) all "Key words", Albums, ... so I had a duplicate of my original Library.
    I hope this also works for other people with the same problem.
    Greetings
    P@nt@ni

    Here my solution for the itunes' "unknown error -50" and not showing any albums in the prefs' tab:
    1. All rebuilding options in iphoto didn't resolve the problem.
    2. I opened the file "AlbumData.xml" in the iPhoto-Library-Folder with a text editor. I figured out, that the problem wasn't in the Albums, but in the "Master Image List"-Section. They look like this:
              <key>1741</key>
              <dict>
    .. titles, filenames, ....
    </dict>
    After making a backup of this file, I started deleting entries here (you know, the fastest way to do it is to split it always in halves and check in iTunes if the error still exists). After about half an hour I got the problem key.
    3. The problem was: Some (curious) white spaces at the BEGINNING of the comment! Curious, because they weren't visible in iPhoto's comment, but I could delete them in Iphoto! I guess they weren't normal space characters, but any special symbols (line feeds? whatever)
    4. After that, the -50 error was gone. Now I could see the Album Names. But the sync stopped after a while with a "... file not found...." - error.
    5. Again, with trial&error I found out, that 4 pictures in the last 3 months' rolls made this second problem: I just duplicated them in iPhoto and deleted the original ones. So I still don't know why they have produced this error... anyway,
    6. Now all of my photos sync well.
    .. well, the whole story took me 2 evenings. I really didn't switched to Mac to play debugger for Apple. Do they read these groups here or do I better write them anywhere? They should get those problems fixed asap! As far as I read in the groups, those errors do exist quite a long time?!
    My versions:
    iPhoto 5.0.4 (263)
    iTunes 5.0.1 (4)
    OS X 10.3.9
    iPod Nano 1.0

  • It's now over 6 weeks since I made the mistake of updating my iPad and I am furious and frustrated at the lack of a solution to the problem with ios 5 audio app missing lyrics

    It’s now over 6 weeks since I made the mistake of updating my iPad and I am furious and frustrated at the lack of a solution to the problem with ios 5.
    I recently updated to ios 5.1 but nothing has been done to rectify the audio app problems ie lyrics no longer shown,
    I am extremely disappointed and angrywith those responsible for the iOS 5 update, in regard to the way it hasaffected the music app in my iPad.
    I also own an iPhone 4, am an avid Apple fan, and up until now have beenextremely pleased with the devices, and have sung their praises to friends andassociates.
    I am a professional musician, and purchased an iPad primarily to use with theperformance of my music.
    The changes made to the music app affected my performances over the weekendextremely adversely – limiting my repertoire and causing confusion and delays.
    I have spent many hours talking withApple helpline assistants (who, incidentally have been very good and have triedto help), and I have also spent a lot of time on this letter.
    I greatly regret updating to iOS 5.
    There are two major problems with the music app.
    1. Lyrics no longer displayed
    2. Layout, and appearance and consequently performance have seriouslyregressed.
    I have a repertoire of around 500 song backing tracks, organised into about 20playlists, half of which featured lyrics / chords that I have spent monthsrecently entering into iTunes so that they could be used on my iPad.
    These were working fine up until the update - now they are gone.
    Previously, the app featured large icons for playlist, artists, songs etc. atbottom of page: Now there are small, grey, indistinct barely legible buttons.
    Previously, when playlist icon was selected - all the playlists were listedclearly in order on the left hand side in black on white (as in iTunes).
    Now they are scattered across the whole page in large squares (displayingnothing if there is no album art).
    The identifying wording below eachsquare is now small, grey, indistinct & barely legible.
    Previously, when a playlist was selected - the songs were displayed in adescending list in black & white: now they appear as small, grey indistinct & barely legible.
    Previously, when a song was selected - it appeared filling the page, and withaudio controls clearly positioned at top of screen. One tap would bring uplyrics.
    Now audio controls appear at top once again small, grey, indistinct &barely legible.
    A small square representsalbum art which if tapped fills page. A further tap fails to bring up lyrics.

    Lyrics aren't supported in the Music app on iOS 5 on the iPad. These are user-to-user forums, they are not monitored by Apple (there are too many forums/threads/messages for that to happen). If you want to leave feedback for Apple then you can do so here : http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html

  • Why does reloading everything have to suck so bad?  I have had to restore my iTouch twice since the iOS6 "upgrade."

    I end up having to restore to factory settings and having to redo my apps and passwords.  Restoring from back-up NEVER works.  First, it decided that iOS6 meant I couldn't use my wifi sync anymore because the computer was no longer available even though I didn't change anything and it works just fine otherwise.  Then it decided that my music library didn't need to be synced to the iTouch anymore after I changed my pictures folder location.  Funny, when I did the last big numbered update, I had the same problems.... I see a trend. 
    The Apple recommended solution - use the iCloud! (that is what the support page told me the solution was).  I don't want to pay for it and the "free" doesn't cut it.  I already paid more for my three versions of iPods (the old models never seem to have problems with music except they don't hold enough) than I spend on music in a year.
    Another pet peave - the iTouch starts to sync before I put in the information into it again so by the time I have the info typed in, the computer iTunes is giving me a bunch of errors because I didn't have the info typed in so it couldn't sync my apps.  Then I go through and rearrange everything and set it up and have to resync page by page because when you go to another page, it wants you to sync. 
    I have successfully went through all the procedures to redo it again so this is more of a why do I have to keep doing this crap than a help me I want to throw this expensive paperweight at the wall.  I Googled "apple *****" and got almost a half million hits.  It somehow made me feel better.

  • Struggling to Sync iPhone contacts to iCloud? Here's a possible solution!

    I was struggling all day trying to figure out why my contacts were appearing on my iPhone 5, but not on my Macbook Pro Late 2011 Edition. To make a long story short, I was able to add contacts to my Contact app on my Macbook and have them sync immediately to my iPhone, but was not able to do it vice-versa.
    Here was the cause:
    I opened up my Contacts app on my iPhone 5
    I hit 'Groups' at the top left side of the app.
    I was given three options; Show All Contacts, All Outlook, and All iCloud.
    I had All Outlook and All iCloud checked.
    I created a fake person on my Mac Contact's app and it showed up immediately under my phone.
    After thinking on it for some time, I came back and unchecked All Outlook.
    By doing this, only my one fake contact appeared.
    This was then a red flag to me that I had stored all of my contacts as Outlook contacts, not as iCloud contacts. If you're having a similar problem, it could be that you are storing your contacts under your email, not as iCloud, which is a huge problem for Mac users who want to integrate everything together. I like to go to my Messages app on the Mac and have a name to go with each conversation, and when my phone is charging pick up the conversation on the Mac. First, go into your iPhone settings and assuming you're running iOS 7, others may differ, hit 'Mail, Contacts, Calendars', scroll down to the sub category 'Contacts' and make sure your Default account is set to iCloud. Mine was set to Outlook which is why all of my contacts were stored in Outlook.
    I found a very easy, quick fix to migrate the contacts from my Outlook to my iCloud! This solution works as a Verizon user.
    Download the Backup Assistant app from the App Store on your iPhone.
    Run the Backup Assistant.
    Log into your Verizon account and hit "Manage Contacts"
    You will then be brought to a page with contacts from your phone.
    From here, Select All Contacts and hit the 'Gear' icon.
    Click "Export Contacts"
    This will create a file for you to refer to in the future so remember where you save it and make multiple copies.
    Head over to your iPhone and download MultiDelete contact app. This app is used to delete multiple contacts instead of going one by one.
    Once you have finished deleting your contacts from everything, including iCloud and your email program (mine was Outlook), you will have a clean and empty contacts book on your iPhone.
    Go to your Mac now and open up Contacts.
    Find the MyContacts.csv file and within Contacts, hit 'File' - 'Import' and browse to where MyContacts.csv is.
    This will then add all of your contacts back into your phone, but as iCloud contacts, not as Outlook contacts or association with any other email address
    Open up MultiDelete one more time and search for duplicates. Once you have found that there are no duplicates, you are all set.
    Some people just like to turn off Contacts under their Mail, Contacts, etc... folder on their iPhone but that's not deleting them. This deletes them from the email program on the phone and makes them into iCloud contacts. Now, if you navigate to iCloud.com and log in, hit Contacts, all of your contacts are available. This is especially nice to have because if you ever use Messages on your Mac, you can text message right off your Mac!
    This solution is only used for people running newer versions of both iOS and OSX. I am running iOS 7.1 currently and running the latest, most up-to-date version of Mavericks at the time this article is being written.
    I figured after all of the trouble I went through today, I would share hoping that maybe somebody in a similar situation can get the fix they desire. Always enter your contacts app on your phone and uncheck your email version to test and see if they are iCloud contacts. As an Apple user with mutliple devices, this is especially helpful. You want all of your Apple devices integrated together from iPod touch to iPad, to Mac, to iPhone, as long as everything is in iCloud, you can sync them across multiple devices effortlessly.
    Also, if this solution doesn't help, I'd start by troubleshooting and checking the following:
    Making sure your iCloud is set up on each device and that you have turned on exactly what you desire to share between devices (whether it's contacts to calendar events)
    If that's all set up, definitely look into my solution above.
    If you're still having trouble, contact Apple Live Chat or give them a call. They were stumped by this issue I had, however after brainstorming a bit I figured it out myself.
    I hope this helps a few people!
