HT4623 Iphone software update caused wifi to stop working

When I updated my iphone 4s several weeks ago, it caused my wifi button to gray out and become non-functional. Several apps also stopped working. Can this be fixed?

Not likely, But try, Settings App > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. See if better. If not, restore iPhone Firmware with iTunes 10.7 or 11 on computer. See if better. If not, and there is Warranty or AppleCare make Genius reservation and take to Apple for resolution.

After software update, airport an USB stops working. Clean install fixes it until I update

I've reset PRAM and SMC erased and reinstalled 10.6 multiple times. Everything is fine until I do a software update. I can boot into windows via boot camp and all is well, but in OS X some USB ports stop working, and airport will say no hardware installed. I've repaired permissions as well with no luck. No AppleCare left so I can not call Apple.

I have this problem too. I have the 27-inch LED cinema display connected to my Mac Pro 1,1 via the Radeon 5770. I also suspected it had something to do with the machine going to sleep, but the audio doesn't disappear every time it goes to sleep. Unplugging the monitor fixes the problem.
I also noticed that when the sound has went away, if I try to change the volume there will be a long delay before seeing the volume-change graphic. Also, toggling the sound device in System Preferences while the problem is in effect is unresponsive, sometimes giving the beach ball. Finally, this message is seen in console logs when the sound has went away:
10/19/10 6:01:22 PM kernel USBF: 75053.200 AppleUSBEHCI[0xf3d0800]::Found a transaction which hasn't moved in 5 seconds on bus 0xfd, timing out! (Addr: 5, EP: 0)
I can make this message appear on demand by attempting to change the volume.
If (when) this happens again, I'm calling support.

10.7.5 update caused Flash to stop working!

I updated to OSX 10.7.5 today and now Flash has stopped working. I tried updating flash on Adobe's website and still nothing. Anyone else run into a similar problem?

Have you tried completely uninstalling it first, using the Adobe Flash Player Install Manager in the Utilities folder, and then re-installing anew: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/

Update caused Ipod to stop working

Hi
I clicked to update my Ipod touch software and it caused my Ipod to need to be restored to its factory settings. However, I am unable to do this as each time Itunes tries to download the software it says that the store is unavailable. I am unable to use my Ipod at the moment due to this.
I tried contacting the tech support via e-mail but they were very unhelpful and suggested paying a fee to them to get more support.
Is anyone able to help with this?
Thanks

Windows 8.1 Pro update caused application to stop working

We have 3 Surface tablets running a catalog application for circulation. The program has been running on the Surfaces since September. After the 8.1 Pro upgrade this week, the application no longer runs. It depends on Java jars but we do
not think that is the problem. Two Windows 8 Enterprise devices run the app just fine in XP Service Pack 3 compatibility mode. Clicking on the icon does nothing - it usually launches the loading of the jar files. I can't find anything in
the event logs pertaining to the app.

Hi,
It seems that this application doesn't support Windows 8.1.
I suggest you contact the developer of this application to confirm if the software support Windows 8.1.

Setting up computer to computer network caused wifi to stop working

Hi,
I set up a tether using the FlashArmy App with my Iphone 4S and Macbook Pro. I created the computer to computer network and all worked well. However, now I can't return to my wireless network. It sees the network SSID but won't obtain the IP Address. Any thoughts? Also, when using the Assistant, it will bring up the SSID but when I enter the correct password, it indicates the password is incorrect.

Simply turning the router off, waiting 5 minutes, then turning it back on solved this mystery. I had to restart the Macbook Pro as well but all is back to normal.

Hi
Thanks but I have tried doing the above - when I said 7 times I was modest, its more like 15 times.
And I am referring to the 5.1 software update. I dont have wifi so I guess I will have to try that seeing that my husband also has the same problem - he has also tried downloading several times. It always times out en says that the connection is lost but yet there are always an internet connection and a decent signal once it stopped. Think it said error 32052 or something!
I am disappointed because the update includes inprovement on the battery life - did you guys notice any difference?

"The iphone software update server could not be contacted" - error message recieved when i try to update to 5.1.1 via itunes , what can i do ?

The iphone software update server could not be contacted" - error message recieved when i try to update to 5.1.1 via itunes , what can i do ?

Dear Lawrence Finch:
If you're still around I hope you see this message, as you're the FIRST person (after reading every link, thread, other sites, apple support articles, etc.) to mention JB may be causing this iTunes popup window to REPEATEDLY occur:
"The iPhone software update server could not be contacted."
No, I did not hack anything (are you kidding? Grannies don't hack!), but I unknowingly bought a 3Gs iOS 3.1 from ebay that was not advertised as JB. Since it is like brand new, I was going to keep it (because my old backup is iOS 3.1.2) & was trying to simply restore & update, which (I thought) would remove the JB (that's what everybody says at forums, etc).
Instead, after "erasing all settings/content" (inside phone's Settings to get the prior person's name out of there), it is now stuck in White Apple Mode.
Put it in DFU/Recovery Mode & connect to iTunes but that stupid above message keeps appearing & I have already read/tried EVERYTHING to get rid of that message, starting with:
1. OLD phones (3Gs) with OLD iOS 3.1+ should work FINE with OLD Mac (iBook) with OLD OSX (Tiger 10.4.11) with OLD iTunes (9.2.1[5]). So that can't be the problem.
Here's all the other things apple & others say to check which I already checked:
2. USB ports are FINE, both work FINE, so that's not the problem.
3. No "extra USB devices" are connected, ONLY a mouse, & then the phone (yes, I tried it w/o the mouse connected but that didn't help).
4. No "usb hubs."
5. Latest iTunes for this OSX has already been DL'd (iTunes 9.2.1[5]). If you know of a newer one for this OSX, please advise.
6. No antivirus software.
7. No security software.
8. No routers; only 1 comcast modem, period. Wired Ethernet.
9. No wifi gadgets, no wifi at all.
10. No firewalls, except what is on iBook in the SHARING/System-Prefs. section. It's turned OFF.
11. Did the hosts/terminal thing sudo nano whatever it was. There were only 3 lines, NO gs.apple.com:
xxxxx local host
xxxxx broadcast host
xxxx local host
Oh, & btw, ATT officially unlocked this phone (after I filled out their online forms) but I can't finish the process via iTunes to get their Confirmation that "Device is Now Unlocked," so I can use T-Mo.
So that's it. If you have any other ideas of what to do from here, since from your comment, maybe it's the stupid JB on this phone that is causing the problem (???), please advise.
Many thanks!

TS1538 the iphone cannot be restore at this time because the iphone software update could not be contacted or temperarially unavailable

the iphone cannot be restore at this time because the iphone software update server could not be contacted or temperarily unavailable....
this error has been occred

"Activation Server Temporarily Unavailable, contact Customer Care?"
99.9% of the time, the cause of this issue is the fact the phone was jailbroken/hacked to unlock it for use on networks other than the network the phone was originally locked to. Apple maintains a database of officially unlocked iPhones, and when Apple's servers detect phones such as yours, activation stops & you get the message you got.
So, either get a sim card from the carrier your phone was originally locked to, or get it officially unlocked, if you want to activate it. Because it appears that it was not officially unlocked.

This is usually hardware error of WiFi Chip. Try Settings App > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. See if fixed. If still problem, Restore iPhone with current iTunes on computer. If still problem, and if there is Warranty or AppleCare make Genius reservation or set up Service and take or send iPhone to Apple for resolution.
