Ios6 with wifi problems
ios6 with wifi problems
I am just updated my iphone 4 to ios6 and on Sunday it took FIVE times to update. My phone kept freezing up on me. Finally, on the fifth try I was able to get it back. I lost everything on it. Last night I checked my wifi and noticed that it was not holding the wifi password in my own home. Without the ios6 it was fine! Everytime I want to use wifi I have to enter my password. This is extremely inconvenient. Today I checked my data usage with AT&T. I am on limited 200 mb data plan per month. Today is the first day of the month for my plan. So my data begins at zero again on the first day of the new month. I checked my data usage today, and I used 17.3 mb of data in 12 hours! Because I can not use wifi! I am in the fight of my life with Apple. I want them to fix the solution NOW or they send me a new phone....no charge. Those with problems like this should spend the time to fight with them too. They are crooks! Don't let them charge for phone support either. They will rip you off.

Since I upgraded to Moutain Lion I'm dealing with wifi problems : no connection or random connection. With OS X Lion wifi was OK.
So, Darrall, it seems to be fixed. Mind you, this has happened through a seemingly unrelated, but hopefully replicable sequence of events. You be the judge.
I went to my other login account, which as it happens is also an admin account. Voila, the secondary click worked fine. So I returned to my primary account, where I did the following:
First, I unpaired the trackpad. then I remembered I needed something to move the mouse with, so I re-paired the magic mouse I'd had before. I thought I'd turned off the trackpad, but apparently not, so the computer re-paired it automatically. None of this had any immediate effect, as you'd imagine.
Then I went to Mission Control in Preferences. There, I deselected "Show dashboard as a space", and in the hotcorners, I deselected Mission Control from the bottom left, where it had been. I didn't replace it.
Now, my secondary click works. Uh huh. I was suspicious that it might have more to do with Mission Control and/or Dashboard than the trackpad, only because I'd beaten that horse till my arm hurt and this was all I could think of.
Never did I imagine this would get fixed short of creating a new login account and somehow copying everything - since I didn't know what was wrong, I could easily have copied the error too - so I'm very pleased and relieved. If you haven't fixed yours yet, try this. Let me know what happens! -
Yet Another iPod Touch user with WIFI problem
I have Linksys WRT54GS wifi router setup at home. I use four notebooks, one mac mini and one mobile phone (Nokia N80) without any problem on my wifi network.
The only problem is with my brand new iPod Touch 16GB (firmware: 1.1.2 3B48b - no jailbreak). It always shows an error "Unable to join the network 'MY-SSID-NAME'". I have tried to change SSID, change security settings (WPA, WEP, no security, ...) - but nothing helped. All other devices (notebooks, macmini and phone) always worked like a charm.
iPod worked only once - the first time I used it (after buying). Since then it does not. I have tried all resets, Restore in iTunes, ...
I think it might be a bug in firmware. Please help someone.
BTW: How (an where) can I report a bug to Apple ?Just like many others, I bought Ipod Touch in Christmas and felt frustrated about surfing the net. I have read many posts in the forum. And I have tried many methods suggested by others to try to figure out the problems. Finally I have solved the problem and I want to share some ideas with others.
Steps of Checking:
(1) Check whether you have a wireless network at home or at work. Check whether the network is security protected or not. If it is, better ask the admininistrator (at home, the admin should be the one who bought the wireless router.) for password.
(2) Check the latest firmware upgrade for the wireless router (in my case, I use Linksys WRT54G. After I upgraded the firmware, my ipod touch could get the necessary IP from the router.)
(3) For the wireless router, better broadcast the SSID for the first time so that the IPod Touch can find it easily. I use WPA2-Personal Encryption AES (though many buddies here point out that WEP, WPA or even no security is also okay). I even set the MAC filtering and the Ipod Touch still works fine!(though you need to input the MAC address of your Ipod Touch to the MAC filtering table in the admin page of your router. the MAC address of Ipod Touch can be found in the Ipod Touch general information. There is a string like XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX
(4) To mininimize the interference from neighbouring wireless networks, better try the connection near the wireless router.
(5) If you have tried for several times and failed to connect, you may reset the router by powering off for 15 seconds and reset the network configuration of the Ipod.
I have used Compag IPAQ before and I must say that for those tiny toys with Wifi capability, the connection is not that stable. However, I find that using the Ipod Touch to watch Youtube video is very good and the speed is excellent!
The steps suggested above are not exclusive. There are too many factors which influence the performance of Wifi. Hope you will succeed and enjoy the Ipod Touch in the New Year 2008! -
so yeah...i've been having problems lately on my ipod touch's wifi cause it's connected on the internet at home ever since i bought it but after going home from an overnight at a friends house it didn't like automatically connected like it used to...so i went to the wi-fi and pressed "(name)" with no password on it and it would say "Unable to connect..blah"...i mean..what happened? I've restart my iPod Touch but still wouldn't connect...ive tried a hundred times and it wont work....
And what part of punctuation class did you miss? Seriously dude, this is difficult to understand without a comma or period somewhere.
Did your friend change his network? Add encryption? Check with him. However, you can do a simple network reset that will clear up most of these connection problems. Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. When your iPod restarts, try to log in again. -
2008 2.4GHz with WiFi problems
Can anyone point me to an old discussion for the wifi card on the 2008 2.4GHz MacBookPro or point me in the right direction? My wifi card keeps loosing connection and freezing my computer (black screen). All the system preferences are already set to never (computer sleep / screen sleep).
Thanks!

Model Identifier: MacBookPro5,1
Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed: 2.4 GHz

Serial Number (system): W8849DC01G0Which wireless access point or Wi-FI router are you having problems with? Maybe someone has had and fixed the problem before.
As far as making changes to the wireless setting, not easy, although you could check the Advanced settings under Network prefs, although I guess you've already seen that there isn't much to change here. -

Hi,
If you are talking to Cortana and she says 'I can't connect to the Internet',Hard reset your Lumia phone.This will completely work as I had the same problem on my Lumia 530 and I hard reset it and Cortana worked fine,and she didn't say 'I can't connect to
the Internet'.
Hoped this solved your problem.Hi Parthasarathy T,

Q since upgrade to iOS6 l have been having problem with wifi connection and getting into App Store and itunes
Saw this on another post.
Applecare Senior Advisor Txx Bxxx (I have his contact info in an email he just sent) just confirmed with me that the problem people are having with the App Store not loading is an apple issue with there servers, ITS NOT YOUR IPAD so don't go restoring it! It's not happening to everyone however but they are looking into it, its really hit or miss.
In the meantime ...........

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
This works for some users. Not sure why.
Go to Settings>General>Date and Time> Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead by about a year.Then see if you can connect to the store.

Why my iPhone 5s's wifi have problem with wifi on iOS 8.0.2?
MMy iPhone 5s and also my iPhone 6 plus and iPad 3, all have the latest update(8.0.2) but all of me have problem with wifi and gilt hung all the time! Wifi most of the time is not working and we have to use laptop or using phone data, obviously I don't want to use my data in home so , I want this problem solve as soon as possible. My iPad is glitching all the time, my iPhone's most the time.
aand please don't tell me it's my wifi modem because I know it's not, I have been tested my modem with all other devices!Ok. Have you tried restarting your phone? Hold sleep wake button until slide to power off appears - slide to power off. Turn it back on and retest.
-Next is Settings, general, reset, reset network settings - retest.
-Next is back up phone to iTunes, and restore to factory settings - set up as new, retest.
If you have had your phone for less than 90 days, you get 90 days of complementary voice support at applecare, so you should definitely use that while you have it.
AppleCare phone number: (800)-694-7466
