IOS6 on iphone 4S. My phone keeps disconnecting from my wifi. I have to input the password each time. The only way i can keep wifi connected is to disable cellular data....what's with this????!!!!!

I downloaded IOS6. The next day my iphone was not connecting to wifi. I reset network connections...put in my password and voila it worked!....But then it dosconnected again..and again...and again....my wifes iphone 4 is not having this problem and she also installed IOS6. The only way I can stay connected to wifi is if i disable my cellular data. What is going on???...Anyone?......

Is it a BT Yahoo account? If so, there have been quite a few threads about Yahoo constantly rejecting passwords, with no clear fix.
That said, I did see someone post that they'd resolved the problem by eliminating any capital letters from the password. After that it stopped asking for passwords and started working, apparently. One or two others tried the 'fix' and seemed to have the same success. At least they haven't come back to say it had gone wrong again.

  • My Iphone 5, was backed up and restored.  Music doesn't sync, when reconnecting device each time, it only offers restore or new phone rather than sync option.  Can anyone help please?

    My IPhone 5, was backed up and restored.  Music doesn't sync, when reconnecting device each time, it only offers restore or new phone rather than sync option.  I have reinstalled ITunes but still this hasn't worked.  Can anyone help please?

    This problem started last year when ios 8 was released. I think apple is trying to force users to buy music on iTunes store and that's why it's impossible to sync other music and also that's the reason why they haven't solved this serious problem. That's really disappoints me and i'm angry with apple because i have like 10 gb of music in mp3 and i can't sync music from iTunes to my iPhone.

  • TS3253 My Iphone 4S version 6.1.1 will not automatically connect to my bluetooth in my car.  It is paired and registered with the car bluetooth, but I have to select the device each time the car is started.

    My IPhone 4S with version 6.1.1 will not stay connected to the bluetooth in my 2012 Subaru Outback.  The phone is paired and registered with the bluetooth in the car, but each time the ignition is turned off the phone loses connection with the bluetooth and I have to select the device again.

    You posted in the iPad forum instead of the iPhone forum. To get answers to your question, next time post in the proper forum. See https://discussions.apple.com/index.jspa  I'll request that Apple relocate your post.

  • Help! My photos won't stream to the cloud and share with other devices. ( I've had the photo stream button on all the time I've had the phone.) The only way I can do it is by manually adding them to photo stream and this is very slow/ misses photos..

    Hello,
    I'm very frustrated. I need to delete photos from my iphone to increase the storage so I can update the operating system. Since first using the phone I bought extra iCloud storage and ensured the photo streaming button for the iCloud was turned on.
    Unfortunately it seems to have a mind of its own and will download and share some photos but the majority have not been downloaded.
    I've resorted to manually putting them on photo stream (the one you share with friends) so the photos will be on my iPad. It also takes ages for my iphone to put them on the photo stream. It's downloaded one album x3 ..??!!? I've tried deleting the duplicated photos but it's now frozen on me....
    I haven't dared delete the photos from my camera roll in case I loose them all and I'm therefore stuck in the situation of being unable to download the new operating system or take anymore photos/download music/apps. It *****!
    Please Help!
    Are there any other options for me to be able to  download my photos when I don't have a computer/laptop? Is there a permanent online storage option I can use?
    Thanks
    Becky

    Amazing steps you've done so far! The great news is this is very unlikely an issue with your iPhone.
    I've run into a similar issue lately as well. I narrowed it down to one song that was causing 30 songs not to sync. I removed the song from the sync list (unchecked it) and all 29 songs were able to sync.
    You may be running into a similar issue. This may be a problem with this version of iTunes, an issue with one song or a group of songs; hard to know for sure. It's important to narrow down and isolate the cause. Most imporantly get that music back on there!
    The way to narrow down the casue add just a few songs at a time (even 1, just to get that first sync finished). Manually syncing is what you'll need here.
    Plug in your iPhone, on the Summary screen (shows a picture of your iPhone, the iOS version, Restore iPhone....; etc). Under the Options area at the bottom choose to Manually Manage Videos and Music then choose Apply in the lower right. The music that's on your iPhone now should be removed from your iPhone now. You're now able to sync music manually.
    The link below explains how to drag the songs from the iTunes library on the computer on to your iPhone which will start the sync. Add just one song just to see if you can get 1 of those hundreds of songs on there. If you can, awesome! Keep adding until you find the song or group of songs that are causing this issue.

  • My ipad2 suddenly quit retrieving my mail from Yahoo. I have checked my settings, done everything except delete my account, which Yahoo tells me I would loose all my data. Please fix this. What to do?

    My ipad 2
    suddenly quit retrieving my Yahoomail. I have checked my settings and done all suggestions, except deleting and restarting my Yahoo acct. Yahoo says I would loose all my data. Please fix this. What to do?

    You can safely delete your account FROM YOUR IPAD with no issues what so ever. I've done it a few times.
    Go into the settings, mail, contacts and calendars, delete the account and then re add it. (What yahoo means about losing your data is if you close down your account with them, not just off your devices)
    If you do remove it from your iPad, it will delete hte data. But just off your device. (at least taht's been my experience). Once you readd hte account it'll redownload the mails.
    Or you can also just wait. Yahoo has been 'improving' their servers and have been causing randomly persistent outages for months now. Usually when they are working on the server your mail is on, you have issues.
    You can wait them out or find work arounds. For example, even if hte mail app messes up, you can still use safari to access your mail.

  • My email address was recently hacked and they have changed all my passwords. Is there a way i can delete an ICloud account on my phone, mac and Ipad without putting the password in as i do not know this?

    Hi
    My outlook account was recently hacked and they have changed my passwords, secret questions and my information meaning i am unable to access this account. I have the hacked account set up on icloud for all of three apple devices. I have been reading online that to change or delete an account i need to login, or turn find my iphone off which i cannot do without the password!
    I would be really grateful if anyone knew a way i could sort this out to fully delete the old icould account.
    Thanks very much!

    Contact the Apple account security team for your country and request assistance: Apple ID: Contacting Apple for help with Apple ID account security.  If you can prove your identity to them, they can reset the password and help you regain control of the account.

  • Iphone won't automatically re-connect to wi-fi; have to re-enter password each time

    I just "upgraded" my wi-fi router to a Netgear WNDR3400.  Everything seems to be set up fine, and I'm able to connect with our various iphones, ipads, and AppleTV.  But our iphones won't automatically re-connect to the network after the connection is lost, and we have to re-enter the password when we re-connect.
    Kind of stumped here.
    Jim

    These didn't work, but oddly enough what worked was choosing "other" network, typing the name of my network in (even though it already showed up in the list of networks), indicating WEP encryption, and typing the password in. 
    Disconnected a few times and was able to automatically connect.
    Kind of odd if you ask me.

  • HT201303 How do I set up my iPhone so that I have to enter my password each time I need to access my apple account? Previously my account name was always stored and I only had to enter my password each time but now it never asks for a password

    How can I set up my 4s so that when I need to access my apple account to either download an app, update an app or buy something then I need to just put in my password?  This is how my 3s worked but the 4 s seems to have stored all my details so I don't need to log in. My young son sometimes plays games and I dont want him to accidentally buy stuff. If I log out then each time I need to go back in I have to put in all my account info. Not just my password.
    Any ideas?

    Depending upon what version of iOS that you have on it then you might have a Settings > General > Restrictions > Require Password setting on it - if you do then set it to 'Immediately'

  • My iPod touch gen5 wifi keeps dropping out. All the other iPods, iPads and iPhones don't in the house, just the iPod touch gen 5, entering the password every time is a pain, why can't it have a button to remember password like all the other devises.

    My iPod touch gen5 wifi keeps dropping out. All the other iPods, iPad, and iPhone 4's don't in the house.
    Why doesn't it remember the wifi password like the other i devises, it's a bugger entering it in every time.

    You late question did get answered:on the 18th of this month. Sounds like you did not like the answers. Starting a new post without mentioning yur first post wastes people time
    My iPod touch 5th gen isn't charging and when I plug my working charger in that I've always used a message pops up that says "This accessory may not be supported". So can I send it in for a new one if I have a warranty?

  • Hi all not sure where original request went but as a new apple user I have external hard drives that are now "read only" and I can't change or save documents.  Went to Get Info and this did not help.  Can anyone assist with solution, thanks.

    I am a new user to apple and have external hard drives from previous computers.  I have many documents I can no longer access and change as they say the drives are read only.  How do I change the read only to read and write etc for these external drives.  I tried Get Info but this did not assist.  Thanks.

  • My iPad has been disabled for more then 30 days. Apple is not solving this for me( 1 year warranty) . I also have reset the password multiple times, No Result. Who can help me?

    Fellow Apple users,
    Fantastic system, however on march eight I encountered that my apple ID has been Disabled.
    I have tried multiple times to reset the I'd , but with NO luck at all. With other words I can not buy new credits to buy products or music. This ought to be fixed first someone has told me.
    Now, I realize that my 90 day repair coverage has come an end too!!
    Apple is advising me to buy repair Aid kit.
    Who may inform me what to do.
    Do I have to make a complete NEW Apple ID and delete the existing one, is that possible?
    Kindly, I really would appreciate your comment about this hug problem!!
    Thanks for your time.

    With the exception of you having a problem with your Apple ID, does your iPad work properly?

  • VI have an Eee notebook and each time Firefox automatically updates, I can't get on the internet and have to do system restore to un-update Firefox. How do I fix this?

    Firefox auto-updates and then will not run on Eee PC. I either want to know how to turn off auto-update or somehow get the new version of Firefox to work on my Eee PC.

  • What's with having to change passwords each time one error is made entering it?

    So I entered what I believe was the correct itunes store account password and it says invalid.  I try again and it suddenly locks me out, now I have to create an entirely new password (one that has not been used in over a YEAR) and a bunch of other restrictions on how many characters, what types of characters are allowed, where the characters can be placed (oh no, you can't have three characters the same together, no matter how long your password is.) 
    I understand the risks out there, and I understand Apple is doing what they consider is best for the customer.  But Appple, you really dropped the ball on this one.  There are many disappointed and frustrated customers, including newbies, who chose Apple with the understanding it was more friendly than the "Other" platforms out there.  ****, my government security isn't even this stringent!!  Lossen up Apple, you're not doing your customers any good furiating them with complex passwords.  Next you'll be expecting the general public to come up with their own password Algorithums! 
    This goes against the principal of Apple's reputation of making computers friendly for ALL users. 
    Listen, we know the risks. You make us agree to those internet inherant risks before we can use any of your products.  We need Apple to ease up the the stringent security measures a bit and find other non-invasive ways to protect its customers.
    I was so frustrated, I might even go back to the "Other" camp.

    Open System Preferences and click on Network
    Click on your AirPort connection on the left to highlight it and then click on the Advanced tab at the lower right of the pane.
    Make sure that there is a check mark next to "remember any network this computer has joined"

  • Problem with having to enter password each time to gain access to network.

    Hi there. I have just setup an airport express——connected to our dsl modem——as our only wireless network in a small flat. We just have two computers connecting wirelessly: my macbook pro (10.5.7) and my wife's powerbook (10.4.11). A very simple setup.
    A few changes I made, using airport utility: I changed the MAC Address Access Control to timed so that both of our computers are on the approved MAC address list with "everyday, all day" access.
    I also made it a closed network. And I changed the WPA Group Key timeout to under 12 minutes.
    Other than than I left the settings as-is.
    I was able to get both of our notebooks connected properly and everything seemed dandy as we were both online.
    Here's the problem: if I leave the network or power down (macbook pro), I'm told that my machine can't find the proper network once I boot back up. I have to manually enter the name of the network and enter the password each time in order to get access——then I'm back online again. My wife's powerbook, however, doesn't have this same problem. And I've saved the network's password to both our keychains, so I'm not sure why this is happening.
    Any thoughts? I'd love to be able to simply power up and be connected like a normal human being.
