I will personally donate to whoever solves this problem for me

Long story short, I like many of the others have a shot Iphone 5 now due to the 7.1 upgrade.
My wifi is so weak that it will only  pick up signals if I literally lay it on top fo the router. The back of the device heats up and my battery is draining like crazy. This is completely insane.
I have tried every single trick in the book short of throwing it out the window. Restart, and turn wifi on/off and backup and restore from itunes on mutliplel computers and over the icloud and hard reset and soft reset and petting it and pleading with it to please work. This is very very frustrating. Unfortunately I'm located in Kurdistan right now on business so lack of an iStore isn't helping either.
Again its an unlocked GSM Iphone. My only option is downgrading. While I have downloaded previous firmware, unfortunately itunes gives me an error when trying to downgrade (shift and then choose the firmware). Yes I have tried going to host file to delete the apple link, no I'am unable to find the apple link on MULTIPLE devices.
Please someone help me because Apple is not doing anything about this apparently. I will personally donate to whoever helps me solve this, I'm guessing if I can successfully downgrade back to 7.04 or 7.06 that'd be my best bet (I have the firmware ready, just Itunes not allowing me).
Thanks in advance

I had the battery problem and it was due to a software glitch (which might also effect the WiFi). This is what I did to fix the battery problem:
Turn off both location services and background app refresh, let the battery completely discharge to the point where the phone turns itself off. Recharge the battery completely, then turn both location services and background app refresh back on.
I think the battery discharging to the point where the phone shuts down resets some aspects of the phone. It couldn't hurt to try.

  • I have an iMac4.1 and my iPhoto is very slow and the thumbnails correspond to the wrong pictures.  How do I fix this? Or is my iMac too old?  Will getting a new iMac solve this problem?.

    I have an iMac4.1 and my iPhoto is very slow and the thumbnails correspond to the wrong pictures.  How do I fix this? Or is my iMac too old?  Will getting a new iMac solve this problem? 
    I realize is only 512MB of memory but I want to make sure that a new iMac will solve this problem.  Can the new iPhoto handle 10GB or more of photos?  Or do I have to go to Picasa anyways in which case I can buy any computer to do that?

    The model of Mac is not partcularly relevant, it's the version of the OS and iPhoto that matter.
    iPhoto - since 2006 - is good for 250,000 images.

  • I am one of many who were frustrated at the loss of visible keywords in Lion.  Will the new Mountain Lion solve this problem?

    I an one of many who were frustrated at the loss of visible keywords in iPhoto in Lion.  Will the new Mountain Lion solve this problem?

    I'm not sure whether we are quite talking about the same thing? 
    With iPhoto in OSX 10.4.11 all the keywords were visible in the iPhoto library.  When I moved my photos to a computer with Lion I lost this feature, there was a lot of discussion at the time about this being a backward step by Apple.  So I wondered whether the Mountain Lion version of iPhoto has restored this feature?

    Reboot the machine holding Command and r keys down, you'll boot into Lion Recovery Partition
    In there will be Disk Utility, use that to select your Lion OS X Partition and Repair Permissions.
    After that is done reboot the machine and see if you can log in.
    If not repeat the above steps to get into Lion Recovery, get online and reinstall Lion again, it will overwrite the installed version and hopefully after that it wil work.
    Reboot and try again.
    If not follow my steps to create a Snow Leopard Data Recovery drive, then option boot from it and grab a copy of your files off the machine.
    Then reinstall all your programs onto the external drive like setting up a new machine, then use Disk Utility to erase the entire internal boot drive (select the drive media on the far left, not the partiton slightly indented) format Option: GUID , 1 partition OS X Extended and then use Carbon Copy Cloner to clone the external to the newly formatted internal drive. Once that is finished reboot and disconnect the external drive.
    Once you go that, boot into Snow Leopard and update to 10.6.8, use the AppStore and option click on Purchases and download Lion again and install.
    Lots of work, but there is no Lion disks.

    Not Charge

    - Try another cable. The cable for 5G iPod (lightning connector) seems to be more prone to failure than the older cable.
    - Try another charging source
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • I have a IPhone 5 and Iphone 5s. Both are set up with the same account ID and running IOS 8.0.2. When the phones are connected to the same Wifi at home, both phones will ring when someone call in to one of the phone.  Anyway to solve this problem?

    I have a IPhone 5 and Iphone 5s, each phone is activited with a different service provider. Both are set up with the same account ID and running IOS 8.0.2. When the phones are connected to the same Wifi at home, both phones will ring when someone call in to one of the phone.  Hence you do not know exactly which line the caller called.  If you answered using the wrong phone, then anyone calling the other number will not get through.  Anyway to solve this problem?

    Hey David Koh TP,
    Thanks for the question. It sounds like your devices are set up to use continuity together. Specifically, it sounds like you are signed into the same Apple ID in FaceTime, and have iPhone Cellular Calls enabled. To resolve your issue, simply disable this setting:
    Connect your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch using Continuity
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT6337
    Turn off iPhone cellular calls
    To turn off iPhone Cellular Calls on a device, go to Settings > FaceTime and turn off iPhone Cellular Calls.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

    My dvd player will not let me change regions, it says i have one more chance to change it, then it just quits when i do, now its stuck on region 1. Any thoughts how i can solve this problem or get round it in some way?

    Usually if you have some kind of hardware failure there is some beeping during POST or most motherboards now have LED indicators to produce and error message based on the type of failure
    So if its bad memory, not place properly, mismatched, processor not inserted properly, mismatched voltage or voltage connector not present etc it beeps or generates the error id.
    Power supplies can be tested for failure. There are some walk throughs for testing just them with a switch, paperclip or a jumper (I'd suggest not doing this if you are not familiar with the dangers of electricity).
    Memory can be tested with memory diagnostics programs like Memtest+
    Processors can overheat if the proper precautions have not been taken usually you will get a POST beep or error code for that.
    If the motherboard has no response then do the basics first:
    Check power connectors and power supply. Once you determine that is not the case move on to other items like graphics cards in all the way or memory.

  • My iPad is locked up and has a apple and a bar under it on the screan and it will not turn on or off. Anyone know how to solve this problem?

    My iPad is locked up and has a apple and a bar under it on the screen and it will not turn on or off. Anyone know how to solve this problem?

    Have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider if it appears), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears. When the red slider appears, release the Sleep/Wake button.
    Instead of dragging the red slider, press and hold the Home button for six seconds.

  • Recently, after cancelling the tick of a song, which is the next song after the one I am listening, in the song list, the canceled song will still run for the next song. I remember that it used not to happen like this. How can I solve this problem?

    Recently, after cancelling the tick of a song, which is the next song after the one I am listening, in the song list, the canceled song will still run for the next song. I remember that it used not to happen like this. How can I solve this problem?

    This looks like a change of behaviour in iTunes 12. Once songs are queued up to the Up Next list then they play whether ticked or not. If you want to skip certain songs already queued click the Up Next tool, then click the small X to the left of the song that appears when you hover over it.

  • I made a movie on iMovie and went to burn to DVD and of course I could not...contacted Apple and they said to download an app to help solve this problem...i did..so I could finally burn a DVD, but it will not play on my DVD player...HELP!!!

    I made a movie on IMovie and went to burn it to a DVD ...I could not do this so I contacted Apple..they had me download an App and then I could make a DVD...but it will not play on my DVD player...does anyone know how I can solve this problem.. I purchased this to make DVD's and now I can not do that!!

    This is a known issue.  It really comes down to two key factors - what type of DVD are you burning to + what type of DVD player you have.
    This article will help.  It's lengthy and can be technical in some parts but should shed some light on your problem.

  • I have a Ipone 4 I uploaded IOS 7 02 but My ıpone is scratchings. I am not finding as effective my ipone. When will solve this problem by Apple?

    I have a Ipone 4 I uploaded IOS 7 02 but My ıpone is scratchings. I am not finding as effective my ipone. When will solve this problem by Apple? I want to return the old version. Can you help me please.

    I have not had wifi since November when I upgraded to the newest IOS version.  I called the Apple help line and they told me some things to do and I tried them all and they worked for a few hours and then wifi shut off again.  I kept doing what they told me and it worked for a couple more days and then I could never turn it on again.  My blue tooth doesn't work either.  I had to actually increase my data usage with AT&T becuase of this.  When I did that in December I went to the Apple store and was told that it is a hardware issue and since my phone is out of warranty I would have to pay for a new phone because they could not fix the issue.  My upgrade isn't up until June 2014 so not only do I have to wait for the upgrade and I am not paying for a new phone but I have to pay $10 plus extra a month on my cell phone bill because I was going over on my Data!!!  I have been beyond upset about this and Apple is not doing anything about this nor did they offer up some way to resolve the issue because obviously it is not just some rare incident if several people are having this issue.  Who knows how many people out there have had this issue and have not said anything about it.  Now there is a newer update that I can't do because it requires wifi in order to download.
    June can not get here fast enough and I may not go back to Iphone after dealing with this for so long with no help from Apple.

    My iPhone 5 will only connect and keep connected if I am about 5feet away from my router. It also will not pick up other wifi sources and will drop Bluetooth. What can I do to solve this problem?

    Are there any other wireless devices that might cause interference?
    Also are there any nearby Wi-Fi networks that might have the same name as yours? It amazing how many Linksys Wi-Fi networks are out there.
