HT4628 Anyone else having probs with staying connected to internet?

OK. This may seem silly, but it is really beginning to **** me off. When I have a page open, such as a gamecast, the scores or other information don't change or update sometimes. I need to hit refresh. This is not how it is supposed to be. Other operating system didn't have this prob. FAQ answers by Apple are just lame. I understand that they need to post the obvious steps, but why not add the fact that their mountain lion may not be all that? That there may be a problem with it and a return to Lion may solve some of the more unanswerable questions? When I have this prob, my solution is to turn of my Mac and turn on my Windows based notebook. Then I can watch gamecasts without any probs. Isn't this 2013? And shouldn't Apple NOT be having these problems?
Ughh.... frustrated newbie on a Mac. Wants money back. Upset I didn't need to upgrade to the Mountain Lion. Shoulda kept my money and my Lion.
Want money back.....

Try resetting the device (hold the home and power keys down until the Apple logo appears).

  • Anyone else having trouble finding/staying connected to the internet after the latest iOS fix?

    Since the new patch came out for the iOS my ipad will not stay connected to wifi.  This happens at home and work.  Half of the time it will not even find my wifi.  I turn it off completely and reboot, sometimes it finds and connects, sometimes it does not.  This issue has been happening every since I updated the lates iOS fix on my ipad.  It does not happen to any other iPad or iPhone in the house...just my iPad2.  Help...:)

  • Anyone else having probs with BTFon and BTYahoo us...

    Hi All,
    Where to start. BTFon via the BTFon app was working well until recently....
    ....now it's not working properly - totally random and can do any of the following:
    The app when at home drops my SSID and connects to BTFon or BTOpenzone, or tries to connect
    When I disconnect from my own SSID, the app can't connect to either BTF or BTO
    The app gives the incorrect email details window - this is down to Skyport and/or the Baynard servers
    My phone shows BTF and BTO as disabled or remembered or both - forgetting the network used to allow a connection, now it doesn't always allow a connection
    My phone see's the BTF BTO rapidly moving around on the list of available networks
    The app either connects to BTO, or the hub drops my SSID, yet as the app doesn't fire up to notify me, so I assume I'm connected to my SSID - therefore no emails get sent to the phone till I reconnect to my hubs SSID and then I get bombarded with them
    Which takes me on to BTY....
    A few days ago, all the emails in my BTY inbox (on phone and Laptop) were dated 01/01/1970
    This could only be corrected by opening the emails and the date self corrected.
    (The emails that shouldn't of been there were then automatically sent to their relevant folders)
    Unbeknown to me, today I didn't think I had received any BTY emails, but I had and the Snoop Yahoo mail app didn't alert me to them. This worked perfectly BEFORE the ATOS were altered - possible reason???? (gmail is fine btw)
    Having tried various things to try and resolve this on the phone, I gave up and dumped the Ymail app (probably a good thing imho).
    Tried K9 - didn't like it that much.
    Tried some others - again not to my liking.
    Used the pre installed email client (unknown) - It'll do, but just checked and one email in my inbox is again showing 01/01/1970.
    Anyway, closed down all applications on the phone and Laptop. Then turned the phone off.
    Then tried to open BTY and got this:
    Due to the above, (on the laptop) I tried Thunderbird, hmm not sure so removed, then windows mail, still not sure so also removed.
    Tried BTY again and it worked, though a new but an already read email is there in my inbox, the date 01/01/1970
    What can I do to sort all this out?
    -+-No longer a forum member-+-

    Sorry about the confusion here: what I meant was as both of the accounts using the 'old' or 'new' yahoo mail, or one of each?
    A few of us had issues with access protocols when "mix'n matching them"
    You could try a temporary pass change for both accounts, see if the app works, and then revert to a chosen password.
    I has this issue myself...it simply "went away" and I never really got to the bottom of it

  • Anyone else having trouble with their iPad disconnecting from wifi since 6.0.1 update

    Anyone else having trouble with their iPad dropping wifi about once a week since 6.0.1 update?

    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

  • Is anyone else having issues with their I Phone 5 running ios 6.1?

    As stated above:  Is anyone else having issues with their I Phone 5 running ios 6.1?
    I am having issues with the WiFi connection to my AT&T router and voice recognition.
    It wont make post to Facebook half of the time. It is lacking the option to post videos to Facebook, only to mail, message, and You Tube. And finally the voice recognition messes up what it types in both Siri and messages.

    Not having any of those.

  • Is anyone else having trouble with bookmarks in Windows Safari 4?

    Is anyone else having trouble with their bookmarks in the Windows version of Safari 4? The Bookmarks Bar imported when I upgraded from Safari 3.2.2. But the Bookmarks menu can't be seen when I click the icon that looks like an open book. The History & Bookmarks Menu present in cover flow (which by the way I love and have found very useful). But the Bookmarks Menu option remains blank. At first I thought it hadn't imported - but I've realised they have imported, just aren't displaying.
    They are definately imported because the same Bookmarks Menu is still present on my iPhone through MobileMe synch. Also I can get to the bookmarked pages by clicking Alt-Bookmarks. All the bookmarked pages are there (along with being on my iPhone). So they've imported - they just don't display in Coverflow (or any view at all) when I click the open book icon.
    Does anyone have any solutions please.

    Ok I have a fix for that....
    I just figured this problem out for myself with a friend]
    ==============================================================
    CLOSE SAFARI
    go to MY COMPUTER
    C:
    Documents and Settings
    Your name
    Application Data
    Apple Computer
    Safari Folder
    Delete BOOKMARKS.PLIST
    ( Now I have to warn you this WILL DELETE your bookmarks from Safari so back them up before you do this )
    NOW........
    go back and IMPORT your bookmarks
    take all your bookmarks from the "IMPORTED ON XX/XX/XXXX " folder and drop them into the BOOKMARKS MENU at the top ( not the folder just your bookmarks)
    NOW DO NOT DELETE the Imported on xx/xx/xxxx folder
    for some reason when you delete the IMPORTED ON XX/XX/XXXX folder.... It causes them to go missing under BOOKMARKS MENU
    SO as long as you dont delete the IMPORTED ON xx/xx/xxxx folder they will stay in the BOOKMARKS MENU where you can manipulate them
    ALSO... DO NOT DELETE the IMPORTED FROM INTERNET EXPLORER
    or IMPORTED FROM NETSCAPE/ MOZILLA FOLDERS
    that will also cause your bookmarks menu bookmarks to go missing too
    I guess this is a temp. fix for now
    Thanks,
    Christopher

  • HT4623 Is anyone else having issues with scaling down photos to fit the screen for home and lock screens with ios7??

    Is anyone else having issues with scaling down photos to fit the screen for home and lock screens with ios7??  Installed ios7 this morning. Tried to use one of my photos from camera roll as background for lock screen and I can't scale the photo to fit the screen.  Never had a problem before and now when I pinch the photo to get it to the right size of the screen, it won't stay that way. The photo is enlarged way beyond the screen size so it doesn't look right. Does anyone know how to fix this?

    Hello, cliffiapp4.  
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.  
    Here are the steps that I would recommend going through when experiencing this issue.  
    Resolution
    If a single application is not responding or stops responding when it opens, you can force it to close.
    If the device is unresponsive or if certain controls aren't working as expected, restart your device.
    If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on), reset your device.
    If the above steps do not resolve the issue, contact Apple.
    iOS: Not responding

  • Is anyone else having issues with airplay after the Lion update?

  • Anyone else having issues with location services since the 7.1 update? Ever since I updated i've been seeing the location services on my status bar at all times.

    Anyone else having issues with location services since the 7.1 update? Ever since I updated i’ve been seeing the location services icon on my status bar at all times. I noticed that google was the app that was using it a lot, but after I turned the feature off for google my phone started using the “traffic”, “frequent locations” and “cell network search”. When I turn the feature off for all of those things it’s no longer a problem. So just wondering if anyone else is having this issue or if anyone has a solution?

    The "solution" is probably to increase your knowledge.  You've done good things.  Perhaps this article will educate you a bit more about location services.
    Basically, they can be very useful, but can cause a lot of iPhone use.  A major example is "Remind me to ... when I leave home."

  • Is Anyone Else Having Problems With 10.6.1 Freezing?

    Is anyone else having problems with iTunes 10.6.1 freezing? On a perfectly-maintained Windows PC, 10.6.1 is suddenly freezing for no reason. This means that my iPhone or iPad can't be synchronized.

    From my experience, involving three hours of troubleshooting using Apple's tutorials, without help from Apple:
    1. Do the steps here to remove and reinstall all Apple software on your machine, "Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP," at http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925.
    2. If you care, they don't tell you or ask you to uninstall MobileMe in those steps.
    3. After I did as they wrote to do, iTunes wouldn't recognize either my iPhone or iPad. On my own I found that Applie's software reinstallation failed to install the Apple Mobile Device Software Driver. So I followed the steps at, "iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows," which took me 25 minutes alone to find. See http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
    Those steps solved everything and iTunes is now back to normal.

  • Is anyone else having problems with the Canon Online Store?

    In the last month or so, I've had one problem after another with the Canon Online Store; from being unable to delete items from the shopping cart; to not being able to add "in stock" items; disappearing Wish Lists; and just now, I tried to add one lens cap to the 6 or 7 items I already had in the Shopping Cart, and they disappeared.
    I've called, more than once, and I've written, also more than once, to Canon Support about this, but they ignore what I tell them, and tell me there are no problems with the Online Store.  They don't even seem to report to anyone that anyone has complained, because each time is "the first time", even though I've called (more than once) and written (more than once) to them about continuing Online Stores problems.
    Is anyone else having problems with the Canon Online Store?
    Why does Canon not care to track reported problems with the storefront part of their web-site? 
    I'm not trying to insult Canon, it's just that I've been a Canon customer for less than 3 months, and the're only batting .333, so far.  Canon Support was very quick to respond about a concern I had that a 50mm f/1.4 I had just purchased was authentic or not.  In trying to register that lens, I looked up on the Canon web site where to find the serial number.  Since my new lens did not have any numbers there, I was concerned I had been sold a fake.  But, then Canon Support sent me link to a different online document that showed a few different places where it might be, and there it was. 
    Is Canon like that with other problems, as well?  Or is their "batting" average better than my very limited experience? 
    I just love my Rebel T5i, and my Canon lenses (from "the Kit brothers of the Cropped Frame coral":  EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM, and EF-S 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM; to the "Truly Nifty Fifty", the 50mm f/1.4 USM, [the f/1.8 is just a "thrifty fifty"], and finally, the "Super-Macro" MP-E 65mm f/2.8 1x-5x Macro)!

    Hi Danny.  Thanks for replying.
    I only use my desktop PC to access Canon's web site, and I've been using Mozilla Firefox for years.  And, yes, it is the latest version.  Since Canon REFUSES to support the use of Firefox on it's web site, WHAT BROWSER DOES CANON SUPPORT?  WHEN did Canon STOP SUPPORTING Firefox?
    I've been told that there are 2 pending orders in my account.  Yet, I NEVER placed those orders!  WHY CAN'T CANON SEE THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM??? 
    Instead of off-target suggestions, and pasted boilerplate REFUSALS TO EVEN LOOK at this issue, I would prefer it if Canon went "old school", and FIXED THE PROBLEM, in the first place!  But, maybe that's a bit too grown up of an answer for you! 
    "Award-winning" support???   And, just exactly WHAT AWARD did Canon "support" WIN for CONSISTANTLY IGNORING REPORTED PROBLEMS???  The OSTRICH?
    Please pull your head out, and FIX this problem, OR YOU ARE THE PROBLEM!!!
    Thank you for your "prompt" attention to this matter!

  • TS1702 Is anyone else having issues with the most recent Facebook update? I updated it yesterday and now it won't open. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the app, but it still fails to open! Any suggestions?

    Is anyone else having issues with the most recent Facebook app update? I updated it on my iPad 2 yesterday, now it will not open app at all. I have restarted iPad, uninstalled app and reinstalled, several times and still it will not work! Any suggestions? I have also closed the append still no results!

    I just started having this yesterday.  It's only happened twice, but it's annoying.  My wife texted me that she was coming home last night, and it showed up immediately on my iPod Touch but not my iPhone. I opened my iPhone and it soon updated.  Worked fine after that.  Then just a moment ago today my wife texted me and the same thing happened.  I heard my iMac and iPod Touch receive the message but it didn't display on my phone until I opened the phone and it showed up again a little bit thereafter.  I suppose I'll send Apple some feedback on this issue.
