How to fix wifi issues on ipad 2 under ios 8.3
SIgnal of wifi from my router is great diminished under my update on ios8.3 on my ipad 2
Thanks for this guidance. However, what concerns me is that I did not have these problems until I upgraded to IOS 8. First to version upgrade 8.1 and to see if my problems would be resolved, the other day I upgraded to IOS 8.3. I still have problems with being dropped off of the wifi network in my house. More discouraging is the fact that the strength of the signal to my Ipad 2 is LESS than in the past (only one bar). Then I often get kicked off the system and have to go into it again. My newer Iphone 5C continues to have a strong wifi signal even if I am sitting in the same chair. Very odd...
I know a lot of people are having issues with the IOS 8 and various upgrades. My ipad 2 is older, and I am considering purchasing a newer version like Ipad Air 2. Do you think a newer device like that would give me good internet connection and strong signal as I had before?
Thanks for listening....

Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I understand that you are unable to sync your iPhone and receive an error. I was start with restarting iTunes and your computer. Once this is done, test the results by attempting a sync. If the issue persists, go through the troubleshooting steps in the article below.

How to increase wifi strength for iPad Air
How can I increase wifi strength to iPad from public wifi
Not all will apple to public wifi.
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

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.

How to fix iframe issue that displays XML values instead of formatted XML in IE11
The following sub.jsp file shows the formatted XML properly as expected when is opened directly:
<% response.setContentType("text/xml"); %>
<book>
<chapter1>chapter 1</chapter1>
<chapter2>chapter 2</chapter2>
</book>
IE11 shows the result as below which are colored and can be collapsed or un-collapsed:
<book><chapter1>chapter 1</chapter1><chapter2>chapter 2</chapter2></book>
But if the sub.jsp is opened in an iframe from the below main.html, it only shows the values of the XML in the iframe:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="ISO-8859-1">
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1">
<title>Insert title here</title>
</head>
<body>
<iframe src="sub.jsp"></iframe>
</body>
</html>
The iframe shows only the XML values, i.e., chapter 1 chapter 2 in IE11. This issue does not happen in IE8.
I appreciate to your if you know how to address this issue.

With some research I found regedit setting called “TabProcGrowth” that allows tabs to span without re-authenticating with certain browsers. Can you tell me how to fix this issue for my Mozilla Firefox users? Our current version of Mozilla Firefox is: 24.5.0 (x86 en-US). This was first noticed with a product called Confluence that we use in our Tech Support area. Users are having to reenter their password every time they click on a new link in confluence. Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you,Hi Bernie:
As long as you are accessing your internal server on http:// or https:// then I would expect the normal rules to apply. To see whether some external requests are being blocked, you might try using Firefox's Web Console, Network tab.
You can open the console in the lower part of a tab using either:
* Ctrl+Shift+k
* "3-bar" menu button > Developer > Web Console
* (menu bar) Tools menu > Web Developer > Web Console
Click "Network" on the top bar of the Web Console.
Then use the address bar or a bookmark to launch Confluence in the same tab. Each request made by Firefox should be displayed along with the result. You can click a row for more details.
When I look up "TabProcGrowth" it seems related to the Protected Mode feature of IE8 and newer, which is not (yet) applicable to Firefox. http://blogs.msdn.com/b/askie/archive/2009/03/09/opening-a-new-tab-may-launch-a-new-process-with-internet-explorer-8-0.aspx
However, if Confluence is heavily reliant on plugins such as Flash or Java, that could be a factor because plugins are run out-of-process in Firefox. In that case I suggest checking with Confluence for suggestions. -
How to fix deleting issues in Mail program
I have a MacBook Air (only a year old) and I like to use the mail program that came on the computer ( since it syncs with my phone ) However when I delelte messages they re-appear in the box I deleted them from. Does any one know how to fix this issue with out having to use another App, or directly going to Gmail.com?
Thank you.I use Gmail. When I set it up, I just typed in my email address and went at it. I haven't changed any settings. It use to work fine, then it started acting up. I have tried other email apps, but I don't like that (too hard to file away saved emails, or just plain set up awkard)

Cannot update my jail broken iPad2 & iPhone 4S to 5.1
An unknown error message cancels the download process. Could you please inform me how to fix this issue? What is also odd is the fact that the update through iTunes is substantially bigger than downloading it directly OTA, although both methods have been unsuccessful so far...
Thanks!About the only thing you can try is using the Online Internet Recovery system to reinstall Lion on your Mac over the top of the current install. that will reset all system files and should not touch your personal files or the apps you have installed.
Or iof you have a recent Time Machine backup use that to restore your Mac to that point in time.
