IPad 2 and iPhone running IOS 5.0.1 has wonky wireless

Both my iPad 2 and iPhone 3gs will not allow me to do normal browsing uisng wireless networking at home. I get an IP address via DHCP. I can browse my devices (swithes and router, printer) usng IP addresses. I can get to Google's web page using it's IP address(74.125.224.114). And I have no problems at the office. But, if I attept to open the iTunes, the App Store app, or Safari and browse a site by it's host name (www.google.com), I get a message that says I can't connect becuse I'm not connected to the Internet (if that is true then why can I get Google's home page via IP address???)
Now, at first this seemed to be an issue with my home network. Except, that both my wife's iPhone(a 3gs) and my daughter's iPhone (a 4) have NO problems. Nether do any of our PC's or latops. My iPhone USED to work just fine on our Home network.
The only thing I did was upgrade my IOS on my iPhone from 5.0 to 5.0.1. My iPad 2 came with IOS 5.0.1. Both my wife's and daughter's devices are running IOS 5.0. Our Laptops and PC's have no problems at all. The problems are with both my devices that are running IOS 5.0.1
So, there seems to be something in IOS 5.0.1 which does NOT agree with my home wireless network (again I have no problems with my work's Wireless network).
My network configuration.
One wireless router is a NetGear WGR614v4 (downstairs) and the other is a NetGear WPN824N (upstairs) connected to a Linksys SRW224 switch connecting to a Linksys E1000 router(wireless disabled) for internet access. All these devices are on the same subnet and I can ping each one.
Does this seem like an IOS 5.0.1 issue or is there something in my network I could try tweeking to get my IOS 5.0.1 devices to work and still allow my other devices to work???

So, my DNS is comming from my ISP. It's the same list of IP addresses for all our other devices that are working: 2 PC's 2 Laptops, a PS3 and a WII, an iPhone 3gs running IOS 5.0 and an iPhone 4 running IOS 5.0.
The ONLY two devices that are having issues are my iPhone 3gs running IOS 5.0.1 and my iPad 2 running IOS 5.0.1.
Soooooo, there is something incompatible with my ISP's DNS and IOS 5.0.1?

VoiceOver issue with iBooks on iPad and iPhone in iOS 4.2.1

I use the VoiceOver feature of my iPad and iPhone. After I upgraded to iOS 4.2.1 I was unable to buy any books from the iBooks store. I had to disable VoiceOver to make my purchases (not an easy feat when you need VoiceOver!)
I particular, I've found two bugs.
1. When I have VoiceOver enabled while using iBooks, I can not select the price button to buy a book.
2. While I'm in my Account page by first selecting "Apple ID: myappleid" at the bottom of an iBooks page and then selecting [View Apple ID] from the pop-up, I'm unable to modify any of the fileds. VoiceOver tells me I can select the fields, but when I try to, the control (numeric keypad, picker item, etc.) is not displayed and I have no way of modifying the field. H have to disable VoiceOver and navigate back to make my changes.
How do I report this to Apple?

The best place to let Apple know your views is via the channel they have set up for that.

I updated both iPad and iPhone to iOS 7.06. Battery lif goes extremely fast, maybe a tenth of what it was.

I updated to the latest version of the iOS. My battery life on both iPad and iPhone have dropped to nothing. My phone goes dead by noon. I have turned off every "push" locator, everything I can think off. Is anyone else having this trouble?

On my iPad 3, I noticed with the update to iOS 7.0.6 that it turned on features by default that I had previously turned off, such as Bluetooth. You might want to check to see if active features are now turned on that you previously turned off. Some of them, like Bluetooth, will cause an additional drain on the battery.

My ipad and iphone with ios 6 fight me to log on to my wireless hotspot

I am deployed and have a wireless hot spot for my internet. Both my ipad and iphone fight me everytime i try to log into it. They will log on to it.. Stay on for varying times.. Then log off and i get a page not found message. My hotspot requires me to log it in to the internet everytime i turn it on, so i have to log on to it by IP address.. Put in my password, and then connect it to the internet. Sometimes if i am fast enough, i can toggle between the settings and safari and get itto work.. But it goes like this..
- connect to wifii
- go to safari and go to login page
- pop up screen with page not found -- wifi symbol disappears
- back to wifi-- click on hot spot
- back to safari wait for wifi symbol -- if it shows up, try to load login page
- pop up screen with page not found -- wifi symbol disappears
- Back to wifi settings.. Click on hotspot
- back to safari - if login page loaded.. Enter password and click login..
- pop up screen with page not found -- wifi symbol disappears
- back to wifi settings.. Click on hotspot
- back to safari - hope connection page is loaded -- if it is-- hit connect
- pop up screen with page not found -- wifi symbol disappears
- back to wifi settings.. Click on hotspot
- back to safari.. Refresh connection page-- if the internet connection has been made.. It will stay on the wifi.. If not.. I have to repeat steps.. Some multiple times
I have tried toggling all wifi related items.. Turned off siri.. Reset network settings twice.. Stood on my head and juggled a chicken, a pony, and a fiat,and every other crack pot notion out there to fix this, nothing has worked. Still stuck with this same situation. Non apple devices have no trouble loggomg on to my hotspot and getting through the login process... Sooooo.. *** do i do??

This is good support apple community.. Im the only person on the planet with this problem i guess.. Thanks

Ipad and iphone with IOS 7 but older Mac - How?

I have an IMac with 10.5.8 system and iTunes 10.6.3. I recently got an iphone 5 and ipad 3 with IOS 7. Now I cannot sync them with my itunes library. It refuses to recognise them and tells me to upgrade to iTunes 11.1. but I cannot and when i try to update my Imac OS it will not let me either saying I all software is upto date. What do I do to get my stuff onto my ipad - I have a library of personal / family vids I converted to play and sync from my itunes account but now cannot get them onto my ipad / iphone? Wireless transfer works fine for stuff and apps purchased from iTunes but I have a couple of itunes accounts, one from years back but has a lot of stuff on it (UK one) and a newer one I had to create on moving to Japan permamently as I now have no registered address in the UK. How do I add an additional Apple ID to my iphone / ipad? Can this even be done anymore?
Beginning to wish I had never upgraded to ios 7 as all worked fine before. Can I undo this upgrade?
Thanks for any help or suggestions!

1. A Mac needs to be running Mac OS X 10.6.8 or newer to sync devices running iOS 7; Mac OS X 10.6 is available from the online Apple Store and requires an Intel Mac with at least 1GB of RAM.
2. There is no way back.

Ipad and Iphones (w/ iOS 6) 802.11n AP's with TSPEC video enable

Does not work with Enterprise 11n AP's wth TSPEC (admission control) enabled.
If TSPEC is disabled, it connects and work OK. Any experiences or thoughts??.

We have Cisco branded 1142's and have noticed the same thing. It seems to be the combination. If we disable N radio....things work. Or, disable admission control and it will start working. iphone 4 on ios6 and iphone 5 on ios6 behave the same way. iphone 4 on ios 5.1.1 works.

How do I sync iMessages between iPad and iPhone on iOS 6?

Haven't found anything online that was helpful as most of the references pertained to older iOS version or not the iPhone 5.

Hello Kenny,
Thank you for your question. Deleting messages on one device will not delete the message on your other devices, but you can choose to disable iMessage or unlink your phone number.
You can disable iMessage on your iPad by going to Settings > Messages.
iPad User Guide - Messages settings
http://help.apple.com/ipad/7/#/iPad99acb5bb
Alternatively, you can unlink your phone number from your Apple ID on your iPhone if you would only like to receive messages that are sent to your Apple ID on your iPad:
Unlink a phone number
To remove a phone number from an Apple ID, sign out of FaceTime and Messages on your iPhone:
Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
Settings > FaceTime. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
This should remove your phone number from other devices using the same Apple ID with FaceTime and Messages. If the phone number is still available on other devices after you sign out of FaceTime and iMessage on the iPhone, you may need to sign out of iMessage and FaceTime on all your devices, then sign in to FaceTime and Messages again on devices you want to use.
Note: If you no longer have access to the iPhone that is using the number you want to remove, reset your Apple ID password.
You can find the full article here:
iOS and OS X: Link your phone number and Apple ID for use with FaceTime and iMessage

I keep getting "the network connection could not be established" error message when trying to update my iPads and iPhone to iOS 5.1

I keep getting "the network connection could not be established" message when trying to update my iPad, iPad2 and iPhone4 devices using either my iMac or MacBook. The Macs and iOS devices are apparently working correctly otherwise. Problem started about a day ago when I connected one of the iPads to my iMac and iTunes notified my of an update for the device. I tried and got the above message. Tryied other iPad2 and iPhone4 and get the same message. Also, get same message when trying to update using the MacBook. My system SW is 10.7.3 on the iMac and 10.6.8 on MacBook. iTunes is version 10.6. Have gone thru the check list of things to check and have re-started. Would appreciate any ideas. Thanks.

Another user named Springbk posted a fix that worked for me as I was having the same problem today:
I Changed my DNS settings to OpenDNS
On a Mac go to SYSTEM PREFERENCES>NETWORK>ADVACED>DNS
change DNS by adding ( + )
208.67.222.222
then
208.67.220.220
click okay/apply after. then try the update. after the update, just delete the two open DNS server numbers. should revert back to your old one.

How do I use google street view for ipad and iPhone on ios 6 to 6.1.3?

To get StreetView on your iPhone, download the Google Maps app.

HT1349 I purchased pages and numbers for Ipad and Iphone, now I have a MacBook Air and I would like to use both softwares in my computer. Do I need to purchase them again ?

I purchased pages and numbers for Ipad and Iphone, now I have a MacBook Air and I would like to use both softwares in my computer. Do I need to purchase them again ?

Yes. Air runs OS X, iPad and iPhone run iOS - different operating systems
that required different versions of Pages, Numbers, & Keynote to run. Like
the iOS version, once you purchase the version for your Air, you may install
it on as many OS X desktops/laptops that you own.

If I use my Airport Express to establish a network printer can I print from my IPad and iPhone?

I want to be able to print to a network printer with my IPad and IPhone with IOS 5.0.1. Seems like there is a limited number of printers that can "AirPlay" from these devices. I have an Airport Express and I know how to connect a printer and set it up as a network printer, my question is can I wirelessly print from my Ipad and iPhone then. Seems too easy for what appears to be a limited set of new printers that have that have Thai function built in.

Printopia allows me to print from an iPad2 to any printer that is connected to the USB port of my AriPort Extreme.

Can I update more than one iPad and iPhone from the same MacBook pro?

Can I update more than one iPad and iPhone to ios 5 from the same MacBook pro? Our family has one MacBook pro and several iphones and ipads. No one wants to lose their iTunes music or contact list or calendars.

Yes, but you will want to think it through before you do it.
The computer will become the "master" device, holding the definitive collection of music, photos, contacts, etc., and each iPad or iPhone will get a copy of what's on the computer. So if everyone has different collections of music or photos that you all want to keep separate from each other, you'll want to set up different accounts on the MacBook Pro. To do that, go into "System Preferences" and click "Users", then click the "+" to create a new account for each person who needs their own set of files.
That way you can each log in to your own MacBook account before you sync your iPhone or iPad, and everyone has their own copy of iTunes and their own iPhoto. If you happen to plug in an iPhone while logged into someone else's account, you just click "don't sync" (the 1st time only, it will remember after that). Sharing the same files becomes tricky, so this is only the best method if you want to keep things 100% separate.
On the other hand, if you all have your music and photos mishmashed together on the MacBook anyway or just don't care about keeping things separate, just go ahead and sync your iPhones and iPads without setting up new accounts. But in this case, you should create playlists and photo albums in iTunes and iPhoto. Then plug in an iPhone, click on it's icon in iTunes, and change the settings for Music, Photos, etc to only sync the playlists that you want on that device. Repeat for each one. They'll all remember their own settings, and continue to sync with their designated playlists or albums.
What you cannot do is use more than one computer with a single iPhone. That will wipe out the music and photos that were on it already, replacing them with the ones on the second computer.

Having trouble synching contacts from ipad and iphone to iMac

Hello, I have an iMac with Yosemite and an iPad and iPhone with iOS 8 that are all fully updated. I am having trouble getting all of my contacts to sync to my iMac. They sync between the devices fine. After a lot of searching around I found that my iMac doesn't show my outlook account as one of my internet accounts for contacts. I get my mail no problem from outlook (hotmail) on my iMac. But when I try to set up another internet account on my iMac it doesn't show outlook as a possibility. I don't know why my ipad an phone are using outlook for contacts but they are and I don't seem to be able to switch it up. Any help would be very much appreciated.

I don't know much about sim cards (being a Verizon user), but having an iPhone 4S, mysteriouly having a SIM card slot, I notices a button in Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars that said "import SIM contacts. I'm not sure how you get your contacts in a SIM card, but thats obviously how you import them onto your new iPhone.
Thank you for choosing Apple.

How do I take screen shots with the new update iOS 5 on my iPad and iPhone?

When I try to take screen shots on both my iPad and iPhone they both come up with the screen to shut down the devices. I've updated both with iOS 5. Any clues on how to take a screen shot with iOS 5?

As with the previous iOS versions.
Press and hold the Home button and use the on/off or sleep/wake button as a camera shutter button for the screen shot.
Or while pressing and holding the on/off or sleep/wake button before the slide to power of appears, use the Home button as a camera shutter button - this must be done before the slide to power off appears.
