IPad connection issue after iOS 8 upgrade

I Have an iPad 3G - WiFi-  and recently upgraded to IOS 8.  Every since connection bounces from 3G to  "no service" (AT&T provider).  I have been able to get reconnected only by choosing "Reset Settings".  I previously powered off and restarted with no resolution.   Found article that mentioned this same issue but said it only was issue in iphone 6.  Anyone else have a similar experience or easier solution?   I rely on iPad for work and really need a solution that doesn't involve frequent resets....

I have been to Apple store twice now on this issue. We have tried all of the above suggestions-- restore, network reset, re-installing SIM card-- and the problem always returns. The Genius Bar tech told me the IOS update brought out a latent problem hidden in the firmware -- in other words, it is a problem caused by Apple, but not everyone experiences this problem. The tech also told me there was nothing more that could be done, short of buying a new ipad. I asked about going back to the earlier IOS version but she said Apple will not allow that at this point. So it sounds to me like a "forced obsolescence" thing that Apple has inflicted on me: they admit their update brought out a problem, previously unmanifested, which had always been lurking in their firmware-- but their solution is that I need to ditch my ipad 2 and buy a new ipad. I never had this type of issue before the upgrade. the problem is more of a nuisance/inconvenience than anything else, because it can be rectified by powering down every few hours, so it's not worth it to me to spend hundreds on a new ipad. And anyway if this is an example of their customer service I'm not sure I will stay with Apple when it finally is time to buy a new tablet.

    PAD Mini Locked after iOS upgrade, tried reset on iPAD did not work, plugged in and device not appearing in iTUNEs for reset/restore.  Just get an Apple Logo then a flashing blue screen as if it is caught booting up.   This has happened twice before and iTunes restore fixed it.  But this time device not appearing in iTunes.
    Running iTunes for PC.  But as stated restore has worked before!  Any help greatly appreciated!!

    Place the device in DFU mode and let iTunes restore the device to factory condition.

  • POE 3560 Issue after IOS upgrade

    Hello,
    I having issue where 6 WLAN AP's not coming back uo after reboot and IOS upgrade of 3560 POE swtiches - . Prior to changes here most if not all ALL the 23 Aps were mainly on one switch, Now after these changes they are now spread over three switches ( 3560's) - with 17 coming back on line
    I am sure its not the power limitation of the switch(s) as the one switch I am TS at present had a fairly large allocation of the aps attached prior to ios upgrade and reload. and the available power value now showing is applicable.for 8 AP's
    I have tried various TS steps to try and bring them back up - A couple of things I would like to try but I am restricted to do so is to check the APS physically or downgrade the ios!
    Any input on this matter would be truly appreciated.- (attached is the log buffer debug)

    You upgraded the IOS to the switch?  I shudder at the thought of what old version did you upgrade FROM.  
    Available:370.0(w) Used:110.4(w) Remaining:259.6(w)
    You've got more than enough PoE left. 
    Only two things comes to my mind:  
    1.   Cable issue - Unfortunately, the 3560 is a non-GigabitEthernet and this particular sub-model does NOT support TDR.
    2.  Hardware failure - Read THIS.

  • Possible Unified mailbox iPad security issue after iOS 4.2 upgrade?

    On an iPad with multiple email accounts (Gmail, Yahoo & Exchange Active Sync) you are able to forward an Enterprise email received in Exchange Active Sync out through a personal email account. This has been reproduced multiple times with the following configuration. The order of operations does not seem to matter.
    a. Setup a personal account with Gmail, Yahoo, etc. & sync email
    b. Setup Exchange Active Sync on the iPad & sync email
    c. Go into your corporate inbox on Exchange to view email
    i. Select a message
    ii. Forward that message
    iii. Double click on the from field – you will be able to select the email address that will be sending the message out
    iv. Select an external mailbox address and send it to you verizonwireless.com address.
    v. The VZW email will be received with the external address as a sender
    With all of the focus on DLP (data Leak prevention) I believe that this is a big issue that enterprises will be concerned about.

    "This is how ANY email client with multiple accounts would work?" Yes, but with the caveat that normally in the enterprise there would be controls in place (or available) to prevent this.
    It doesn't seem to be something that's getting a lot of publicity on the web but would appear to be a significant risk for companies.
    I don't think it's possible to limit iPads to only corporate mail either natively or using any 3rd party management software, so that leaves the only solution to be some sort of encrypted sandbox for corporate mail along the lines of Good Technology or similar. Unless you can force some sort of persistent VPN through some other mgmt software and monitor all traffic ... doesn't seem ideal but maybe it would work.
    Is anyone aware of any other approaches to this or other vendors in this space? Seems like with the well publicised enterprise iPad adoption that this is an issue Apple would want to address.

  • Bluetooth car kit connectivity issue after IOS 8.1.2 update

    After the IOS 8.1.2 update I cannot connect my IPhone with the Bluetooth car kit (hands free) system of my car.
    Before the update connectivity was perfect, after the IOS 8.1.2 update the car kit does not find the IPhone any longer.
    To solve this issue I deleted both the car kit and the IPhone from the paired devices list of both (my car and the Iphone) and tried to pair them again - no success. The car kit just does not finds the Iphone any longer.
    Please, help!!!

    Just to share the way I finally solved the problem - might be helpful to somebody else.
    I didn't noticed before that the IOS 8.1.2 update changed automatically the name of my Iphone from the one I've given to it before to just "Phone".
    I re-named the Iphone (just gave a new name to it by going to Settings -> General -> About -> Name) and then the car kit managed to find the phone very quickly via Bluetooth.

  • Battery issue after iOS upgrade to 4.1

    I have upgraded my iOS to release 4.1. After that my battery will be empty within a 4 or 5 hours. before the upgrade the battery works more than a day.
    Another issue is to delete emails. If I delete some mails and wait a few seconds the mail will be received again. This happens with my Mobile Me account AND for my exchange account. Before the upgrade was made all works properly.
    I have tried to reset the iPhone to factory settings and make a new configuration manually but the result is still the same.
    Anyone has an idea what kind of issue I have?

    1 & 2, common problems.
    3 - check your settings
    Apple fix the bugs?  Sooner or later. 
    Good luck.

  • I bought a Sandisk Connect Media Drive, downloaded the app from iTunes.  Before iOS 8, movies played fine.  After iOS upgrade I can no longer play movies downloaded from iTunes to the media drive.  Anyone else have a similar issue?

    I bought a Sandisk Connect Media Drive, downloaded the app from iTunes.  Before iOS 8, movies played fine.  After iOS upgrade I can no longer play movies downloaded from iTunes to the media drive.  Anyone else have a similar issue?

    I checked with SanDisk's own online support and they indicate that they have notified Apple of the issue.
    According to SanDisk, the problem lies with Apple not having the iOS 8 version of the Safari browser having DRM decoding enabled that the Media Drive relies upon to decode and play iTunes DRM titles. Non DRM encoded videos will play in the browser.
    DRM audio is not effected as this is handled by the native iOS music app.
    As of the date of this post SanDisk have not been given a timeframe by Apple for this issue to be resolved.
    I hope that Apple resolves this issue quickly as I have a large collection of DRM video titles on a 128Mb memory card installed in the Media Drive that I am unable to view.

  • Is there a fix for the wifi connectivity issue after ios6 update?

    Is there a fix for the wifi connectivity issue after ios6 update?
    Cannot connect to any wifi since update to 6.0.1
    How do I get update to 6.0.2?
    Will that even help?

    Some 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
