IOS 8.4 Not Staying Connected
I miss this feature on Skype for iPhone where my account stays logged on with "Away" status even if I do NOT run the app on my phone in the background - now it seems to get offline unless I keep running the app in the background, which I would like to avoid because I believe Skype app eats a lot of battery.
Any way we can switch this / control options? Thanks!
this is happening to me as well. I thought that it only happened if I force closed Safari, or if I rebooted the phone. But now I see that it happens all the time. Probably when iOS closes an app in the background when it needs the memory. Bummer, since I like having 1Password as the first icon.
A weird thing is that when I hide one of the icons (like Facebook or Twitter), it stays hidden after a force quit, yet the custom order is forgotten.

Mail 4.4 and Exchange 2010: not staying connected
I am using Mail 4.4 connected to an Exchange 2010 account, and with an SMTP server instead of the actual Exchange connection to send outgoing mail due to the "no from: field" issue.
I have noticed that Mail is not staying connected to the server. IIRC, Exchange is intended to be a live connection, and messages that arrived quite some time ago are nowhere to be seen until I click "Get Mail." Up to now, I've relied on IMAP with IDLE for mail, as I'd rather receive everything in real time instead of relying on a scheduled polling interval.
Why is this? Is it just an issue of being Exchange 2010 instead of Exchange 2007, or is there something I can do to fix it?
My iPhone running iOS 4.2 works perfectly with the same Exchange account.IMAP with IDLE for mail, as I'd rather receive everything in real time
Certainly in the current version of Mail, you'll get more of a push effect if you use IMAP IDLE instead of EWS for communication with an Exchange server. Exchange Web Services feel less responsive.
The Get Mail routine is much quicker with IMAP IDLE than with EWS. With EWS: the more mailboxes you have, the longer it takes.
However: if you use IMAP instead of EWS, some features of Exchange will appear less graceful. Noticeable with e.g. messages relating to calendaring.
(Note to self: I should review this after our organisation has completed its transition from Exchange Server 2003 to Exchange Server 2010.)
messages that arrived quite some time ago are nowhere to be seen until I click "Get Mail."
Using EWS: in the absence of a real-time/push effect, three approaches come to mind:
a) pull manually (click Get Mail)
b) prefer a schedule
c) simply move or delete any message to trigger an update of that mailbox.
For my Inbox, I prefer (c). An update of the Inbox alone is much faster than the (Get Mail) update of all mailboxes.
Eventually, I guess that Apple will improve Mail to make it respond immediately to changes on the EWS side.
Then, I'll go back to using e.g. GrowlMail to weed most messages immediately, as each one appears (much more pleasing than ploughing through a massive Inbox). -
Ipod touch will not stay connected to network after trying to use scrabble
I had a new ipod touch and purchased the scrabble app from EA games. I could not log into facebook to load my games onto the app on my touch. The ipod would send me to my home page and disconnect me from the internet. Eventually my ipod would not connect to the network at all. I called Apple and they determined that the ipod was faulty and sent me a new one. Upon receiving the new ipod I downloaded and tried to use Scrabble again not thinking that the problem was the Scrabble app from the get go. Now again my ipod will not stay connected to the network. I have deleted the Scrabble app and reset my network settings and still nothing. It will occasionally connect but I cannot do anything with the ipod. However, it will work when plugged into my computer. I have contacted EA Games with the problem and they have "escalated my issue to their expert team", but I have yet to hear anything back from them. Anyone else having similar issues and know how to resolve this?

Why is my iPhone 5 not staying connected to my wi-fi
Why is my iPhone 5 not staying connected to my wi-fi
I am so flippen ticked. I have been a iPhone, 3, 4,4S user for ever. I now made the mistake of going to an iphone 5 with update to iOS 6.0.1.
I cannot keep a wi-fi connection for the life of me. Nor can I keep even the weakest of signals to my cell carrier even if the phone sits still in one spot. While at the same time my ipad 3 with iOS 6.0.1 sitting right next to the phone has been up on the same carrier and wi-fi source for hours.
I am about to through the phone in the river and swear off Apple. This is frustrating after I use to talk about how good an iPhone was. Very Very disapointed.

Why is my ipad3 not staying connected to and remembering my password to router
After upgrading to ios 6.0.1 my ipad3 has a few problems.
1. The internet is slow slow slow...to connect to even common websites, like Apple, Google etc.
2. It is not staying connected to my router for wireless and is forgetting the password for
connection to the router.
Other computers(ipad1 and pc's) in the house do stay connected and do not have the slowness to
connect to sites.
I have done resets, cleared history and cookies and so on but nothing seems to make any
difference.
Appreciate any advice.
Thanks
Gary in OregonSome 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

IPod touch - not staying connected to WiFi
Just bought an iPod touch for my daughter. It will not stay connected to wifi. Everyday we are having to reconnect and enter our password. All our other devices are fine (MacBook, iPhones, iPads etc). Any suggestions?
Does the iPod connect OK to other networks?
Try:
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on the router
- Reset network settings: Settings>GeneralReset>Reset Network Settings

ZAGG not staying connected using iOS8
Using iPad2- When I upgraded to iOS*, the ZAGG keyboard that I se will not stay connected when trying to post on social media. I have tried going to settings/bluetooth/ and clicking on forget the device. Then re-installing the ZAG by using bluetooth and connect. I then get a 4-number code and have to hit enter and it connects. This will last for awhile until I try to post on facebook or other media.
Not quite the right place - I'll let the Hosts know, and if they see fit to move it I'm sure they will.
On your machine try the following:
Open System Preferences --> Network
Show: Airport (select this option from the drop down next to 'show')
Select Airport tab on the far left.
By default, join: Preferred networks (again, select from adjacent drop down)
Ensure your network is in the list, and is at the top (drag and drop your network to the top to re-order).
If your network is not present, click the '+' sign below the box, and find your network and add it manually. If this is the only wireless network you want to use, select any others if present and click the '-' button below the box to remove them.
Good luck, let us know how you get on.

I notice that my new IPad (3rd generation) will not stay connected to the power cord at all, I'm not exagerating, if I plug it in and browse the Internet without fail it will become unplugged and I will have to push the plug back in (Ba-beep). Ive actually grown to despise that sound when you plug your iPhone or iPad in because it reminds me of how much money I spent on something that PHYSICALLY will not charge while I'm using it.
I know the problem with it holding a charge while in use, I get it, the screen is amazing and it takes a lot to run the display, however, it is unacceptable to me that I can't even keep the thing plugged in while I'm using it. I can not even leave it on my Cal King bed overnight because I will wake up in the morning to find that the plug has been jiggled loose in a corner, so it's still attached but not making a connection thus not being charged.
I love the 4GLTE from Verizon and I love the iPad, but I'm actually using my 1st generation IPad while I am at home so I can leave my new $900 iPad on a table to charge free of incident so I can use the 4G while I'm away from wifi during the day. I have been getting more upset about this because I can not even use the Griffin extended cord to charge the iPad and be far from the plug because only the original apple sync/charge cord will have a better shot at staying in. Absolutely none of my non apple cables will stay in the iPad 3 while having it in my hands.
The plug is at an angle, unlike the first iPad, not sure about the iPad 2. Please let me know if they have same issue.
If anyone else is having this problem with the Gen 3 iPad please let me know because I'm tempted to do something about it with apple and I'm hoping that I just for some reason have a bad cable receiver or something and maybe I can get a replacement and enjoy the iPad as I had expected to. There is no reason why I should be even using my first iPad and I have friends that want to buy it but I am not selling it because I'm unable to sell it because I can't handle the new iPad while it's plugged in, that is ridiculous if it's a common issue so please let me know!Thanks for the swift reply, I have been looking online and a loose plug seems to be somewhat of an issue with many, I hope mine is actually a problem and not what others are experiencing. It's taken me this long to even reach out for the simple fact I HATE being a complainer but this is just horrible.
Do you have an iPad 3 as well? And is yours not experiencing any issues close to mine?
Thanks again! -
IPhone 4 does not stay connected to internet over 3G+
I have an iPhone 4 on the telus network running the latest version of the os 4.3.3. My phone will not stay connected to the Internet most of the time. It looses connection and won't reconnect until I turn on airplane mode and then turn it back off. It also looses connection if I have wifi on and it detects a network but choose not to connect to it. I have restored my phone and it fixed the problem for half a day before it started again. I only have a couple months warranty left, is this covered do you think?
I don't have another phone to try. I took out the sim to check for deffects but it looked fine. Cleaned the sim card with alcohol and cleaned the aim compartment. Phone didn't loose Internet connection all day yesterday, but this morning went to check emails and wouldn't update until I turned airplane mode on then off again.

Iphone 4 does not stay connected to my network
Since upgrading to 6.1, my iPhone 4 does not stay connected to my network. I have to input my password each time I leave my house. My other devices stay connected, so the issue is with the upgrade. Has anyone found a way to keep their IPhone connected to their network? Thanks.

Iphone does not stay connected to wi-fi.
When using apps or when in sleep mode my iphone does not stay connected to my wi-fi. All other items within the house have no issues with staying connected to my wi-fi.
By design, when entering sleep mode, the iPhone will disconnect from WiFi to conserve battery. If you want the WiFi connection to remain persistent, plug your phone into a power source.

HP Officejet 6500A Plus not staying connected to wireless network
Just picked up a HP Officejet 6500A Plus e-All-in-One Printer - E710n the other week and set it all up and it was working wonderfully. But I noticed after it goes into sleep mode it disconnects from the wireless network and doesn't reconnect.
I will get a overview of how I have it all set up.
I have a DSL modem with a TRENDnet TEW-639GR router connected to it. I have set my router to reserve IP addresses for the computer and printer. That way I can leave the computer and printer wireless IP settings as automatic and they will always get the same IP address. I do this for the wireless network at my parents place as well and it works perfectly with their HP Photosmart C7280.
I also set up the HP ePrintCenter feature on the printer so that I can print by sending the printer an email. When I first set it all up this was working great. I tested it all and it was awesome. When I would log onto the ePrint website it would show as connected and it was all good.
So then what happened was it was all fine then the next day when we want to print something the computer says the printer is offline. I go on the HP ePrintCenter website and it says not connected. I print out a wireless network report page and it says not connected. After I printed that test page, I guess it woke up the printer enough or something as it then connected to the router and printed fine as well as showed up as connected on the ePrintCenter website. So all was good. Then the next day the printer goes to sleep and again it shows as disconnected.
Should it not be staying connected in sleep mode? How will the printer know something is being sent to it and that it should wake up if it is not staying connected?
Any suggestions of what I should change with the settings? I suppose I could try setting the IP settings as static on the printer itself but I shouldn't need to as I set it to static on the router. When it finally does reconnect it does always keep the same IP. If that is what is required I guess I could do that but then what is the point in having an automatic setting if it doesn't work? I would rather have this issue fixed that have to do a work around for it.
Thanks in advance!Hi,
The printer should stay connected to your wireless network after the printer enters the sleep mode.
This is not an expected behavior.
I believe such an issue may be caused due to a signal quality or any conflict as too many broadcust on the same channel.
Please try the following steps in order to better understand the issue:
Follow the Wireless Setup Wizard if your printer currently disconnected
Enter the Setup menu.
Enter the Network menu.
Click Wireless.
Click Wireless Test Report.
What is the signal quality provided by the report and what channel used to broadcast by your router?
If you may scan and attach the report, it may help to better understand any possible cause.

Shlomi

My sister and I both have Macbook Pros that will not stay connected to our internet (wifi). Our dell computers and HP computers in the household work great- but both of the Macs do not stay connected, and often say "you are not connected to the internet". I have saved our wifi name to the computer so it is registered as our home network- but it still will not work fast or stay connected for long periods of time. Is there a setting I need to change, or anything I can do? Very disappointed with how the Mac works with our wifi.
Mac's will have trouble connecting to WEP Encrpyted and/or "hidden" / "invisible " networks.
OpenWEP (insecure) or WPA2(AES) is the only secure standard.

Also make sure the date and time are current and updating to Apple's servers for your location in System Preferneces > Date and Time. Then reboot and reconnect.
If your still having trouble after this, take both machines back to the store for a free evaluation.
