Ipad2 keeps forgetting IP address

After approx 10 mins my ipad loses the IP address, subnet mask and router settings but it still shows the connected icon if have to put it to airplane mode a few times to get it back. only started doing this when i updated to 5.1.1 if i use a static IP it loads the webpage but keeps giving a message box saying i am not connected to the internet.
My iPhone and computers are working ok on the smae network.
I have 3 access points on diffrent channels with the same SSID and am using Windows 2008 R2 as the DHCP server
Thanks
Craig

Try going to Settings app > General > Reset (at bottom) > Reset Network settings. Then do a hard reset, hold down the power button and home button until you see the Apple logo, ignor the "Slide to unlock" message. Then try entering your network settings again.

WRTU54G-TM not keeping its IP address, generally being annoying

I bought a Linksys WRTU54G-TM for the TMobile @Home service. Setting it up is proving to be absurdly frustrating because the webbased interface refuses to acknowledge that I have given it an IP address. I set the IP to 192.168.1.20, static IP, configured as a bridge, etc etc. Every time I was able to bring up the web interface the IP address was listed as 0.0.0.0 on the main page, but the Status page showed the correct IP.
I shut off the wireless router part because we already have a wireless setup -- ironically a WRT54G Linux-based Linksys router that's been working without a hitch for 3 years. Since the TMobile router and the main router are in wholly separate areas of the house, we're using a Zoom wireless access point so it can still remain part of the network. The Zoom access point has been working flawlessly for around 2 years.
After a few minutes of trying to figure out **bleep** is going on, now the router is not responding to 192.168.1.20 at all.
At this point I'm getting overly frustrated and about to chuck the thing through the nearest wall. Why doesn't the webform keep the IP address? Why does the router seem so keen on reverting to 192.168.24.1 when I've never set that as an IP address? I won't even get into the fact that the router isn't letting me use the phone ports because that's a whole different can of worms.
Has anyone else had this amount of trouble with the WRTU54G-TM? Did I just get a lemon?

There's one the WRT54G Linux-based router that's serving as a DHCP server. I've disabled the DHCP server on the TMobile router and told it to use a static IP address (192.168.1.20, WRT54G is at 192.168.1.1). So far everything is working fine even though the web interface continues to deny that it has a proper IP address -- but only on the initial form; going to the Status page still lists the proper IP. It doesn't appear to be causing any issues other than annoying me so I'm letting it fly (otherwise the router itself would be flying).
There was an issue earlier with the router forgetting about the connected phone when I was transferring a large file across the network but that hasn't reappeared. We're getting some static a few seconds into phone conversations but I'm attributing that to a cordless phone that the soon-to-be-Mrs insisted on using. Hopefully I'll be able to talk her into a VTech DS6121 setup, or something similar, so that won't be an issue going forward. Wish me luck

Apple TV keeps forgetting Network

My AppleTV keeps forgetting network and disconnects itself from the network & internet regularly. I have to unplug the power and plug it back again than it connects but after couple of days it disconnects itself again. This happens usually if I watch a movie from the AppleTV. Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

I have the same issue on two 40GB ATVs, one purchased after 2.0 software came out and one was off the first factory run. Both are on N(b/g) networks with WPA2. Both networks are apple airport extremes, not the dual band model but the one just before.
My Remote.app on iPhone isn't seeing the ATVs when iTunes stops seeing them, so I think the issue is strictly with ATV 3.0.
SUMMARY, from my experience:
-Not hardware related
-Not iTunes related
-One ATV will hold it's IP address obtained through DHCP.
-The other says it's connected to the wifi network but has no IP address, despite renewing the DHCP lease.
-Visibility in itunes "Devices" seems to coincide with Remote.app being able to see ATV.

Remote app keeps forgeting Apple TV

Good afternoon! Apple's Remote app 4.2.1 on my iPhone 6 running iOS 8.1.3 keeps forgetting my AppleTV 2 running Apple TV Software 7.0.3. When I open the app, AppleTV isn't an option (other iTunes libraries on my network do appear though). I can get my Apple TV to re-appear temporarily by using the remote that came with the AppleTV to navigate to Settings > Computers > Turn Off Home Sharing and then turning home sharing back on Shortly thereafter, however, the Remote app can no longer see the Apple TV.
Any suggestions for how I can get Remote to permanently remember the Apple TV? Thanks!

I have two cell phone, different numbers. Each has their own apple id. How can i merge them so apps on one show on the other but keep their emails addresses separate on their own phone?

Have two cell phones, different numbers. Each has their own apple id. How can I merge them so apps purchased on one phone show on the other. But.as each has their own email address, I want to keep these email addresses separate on their own phone? Thanks.

We do this in my family now. We have one account for purchases, so it is used to share music and apps (I think that is in Settings/iTunes & App Stores). Each iDevice has this configured.
Then, each of us has our own iCloud account that is configured under Settings/iCloud. That then allows us to have our own Mail/Contacts/Calendars/Reminders/Safari Bookmarks/Notes/Passbook/Photo Stream/Documents & Data/Find My iPhone/and Backup. That Backup piece is pretty sweet and comes in handly if you replace your iDevice. You can just restore from it.
So we all share the Apple Store account but we all have our own iCloud accounts to keep the rest seperate or things like you mentioned are a nightmare.
In answer to what iCloud does for you: http://www.apple.com/icloud/features/
Think of it as an internet based ("cloud") area for all of those items listed in my response. What you need to remember is photo stream only maintans the last 1000 pictures so don't count it as a complete backup solution for your pictures. Even though I rarely sync with a computer these days, I do still try to sync my phone with iPhoto (I have an iMac) so that I have copies of all of my pictures. 1000 may not stretch as far as it sounds.

ICloud on iPhone suddenly keeps forgetting my password (and other sync issues)

All of a sudden iCloud on my iPhone keeps forgetting my password. Sometimes I'll enter it, everything will seem to be fine and moments later it will prompt me to renter my password. This is extremely frustrating and has happened seemingly out of nowhere. I haven't been tinkering with setting or anything like that.
I'll often be prompted to enter my iCloud password when doing things that have nothing to do with iCloud either.
Another strange thing is that Notes, for example, still syncs correctly but all my reminders are gone. My iPhone calendar is blank now too. All of the apps are turned on in the iPhone settings. Everything on my computer is there, as well as on iCloud.com.
I'm really baffled as to why this is happening all of a sudden. Could the problem be on Apple's end?
This is happening at a really inconvenient time as I'm about to do a lot of traveling and will only have my iPhone with me during this time.
I'd appreciate any possible solutions because I'm about to lose my mind.

Sounds like you are not using icloud, but sync.me app. Why don't you check their support page and their FAQ.

I've tried on my 4th Gen Ipod Touch and on tha computer... but when I try to purchase something it keeps saying my address is invalid and its not... and so it won't lemme download anything and I dunno wut to do...

I can't purchase anything because my Ipod Touch 4th Gen keeps saying invalid address
When I know its correct... and I dunno wut to do about it...

There are a number of threads about it - it looks like Apple recently updated their address validation. Some people have recorded success by :
ensuring that their iTunes account address is exactly the same as appears on their credit card bill
putting something in the second line of the address (including just copying the first line)
expanding abbreviations e.g. St to Street, Ave to Avenue etc (or conversely abbreviating)
putting apartment or suite number on the second address line

Act now if you want to keep your email address

Have followed all the instructions in the email to keep my talk21 account. Supposed to get an email saying they have my request and if not do it again. Have done it 2 times no and no confirmation. Anyone else got a confirmation that bt have your request to keep a talk21 address? Just worried as I use this account for everything so can't afford for it to be got rid of

Going by some of the other posts, BT are snowed under with this mess of their own making and are unable to cope with the demand. It may be that you will get an email conformation once the request has been actioned. If you haven't heard anything by tomorrow I would try again and if that fails then it loks like you will have to endure the call centre 0800 111 4567

Airport Utility Keeps Forgetting TC

Hi all,
My Airport Utility keeps forgetting the TC.
The only way to refresh the connection is to disconnect from Wifi, and then reconnect the Wifi. This in turn is affecting my TMs and is proving a nuisance. I suspect a Yosemite bug as it rarely happened on Mavericks.
The also happened when using Bridge Mode, and it happens likewise when turning off The TC Wifi and accessing it via my old router which is connected via ethernet to the TC.
Anyone else, seeing or experiencing this?
And following a quick disconnection of the Wifi...

Totally standard issue on Yosemite.. welcome to bug heaven.
There is not much you can do .. but go back to better more stable OS.. ie Mavericks.. or wait for apple to fix their latest greatest OS.

MacBool Air / Leopard keep forgetting file preferences.

Hi,
My MacBook Air keeps forgetting file preferences. I'm an audio engineer, and so I want my audio files to open in the programs I prefer over iTunes. Also, quicktime can't play most AVIs, yet it tries to open them.
I know how to set the preferred programs in the info dialog. But as soon as I restart (which I do about once a week) all these settings are gone. This is particularly annoying with iTunes, as it conflicts heavily with my other software, but I can't trash it until I found a good batch convertor.
I first noticed this forgetfulness after switching on FileVault.
The question is: How can I make my macbook remember these settings?

This information is stored/controlled by Launch Services. I would try resetting the LS database and see if that helps.
Run these commands in Terminal:
cd /System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/Frameworks/LaunchServi ces.framework/Support/
./lsregister -kill -r -domain local -domain system -domain user
Hope that helps...

My iPad2 keeps asking me to enter my password after updating to iOS5.1

Hello,
I can't find the answer to this after lots of searching and it's driving me crazy!
My iPad2 keeps reverting back to the Lock screen and asks me to enter my password. This happens whilst in the middle of using apps, especially ones that involve video. This only started this week when it was updated to iOS5.1. When I sign back in, it is just on my Home screen and the app has shut down. When I go back into the app it isn't at the point that it forced me to leave it.
It is not technically my iPad and as a result I've got to have certain settings on it - I've got to have a password of at least 8 characters and I'm not allowed to reset the whole thing. I can't turn those settings off.
I have tried a restart by pressing the lock and home buttons at the same time, but that hasn't worked.
Is it possible to just go back to using iOS5? Or is there another way of fixing it?
Any advice would be appreciated!

I don't know of a way to lock out of Settings. However, go to Settings > General > Restrictions. Although you cannot restrict settings, there are some other things that you can restrict, like app purchases, etc. Basically, what this will do is require a 4-digit passcode SEPARATE from the one used to unlock the iPad. No one can use features that you have chosen to restrict without knowing the password.

Can I keep my email address if I use Firefox??

Firefox doesn't do email, it's strictly a web browser.
