IPhone 4S doesen't connect to wi-fi unless it's in the same room. Please Help!!!
I have an iPhone 4S and i have recently upgraded to iOS 6.1.2 and I am experiencing problems with connecting to my home wi-fi. The iphone detects the wi-fi network (2 bars) from my room but when i click on it it says "unable to connect". The iphone only connects when i am in the same room as the wi-fi router. I thought it may be a signal strength issue, but my iPad and iPhone 4 both connect smoothly from my room and all other rooms and have no issues at all (Both running iOS 6.1.2).
I am having the same issues plus some. I have the S4 and after researching it here on Apple Support am convinced it was due to these last updates. So many comments with the same issues! I stopped by Sprint and asked how I could revert back or uninstall the updates. They informed me that wasn't possible and unless I was willing to shell out the cash to upgrade I was stuck with it. If this doesn't get resolved I will no longer be an Apple user of any sort. It's just not right!

IPad2 will not connect to wifi unless it is in the same room
I live in the UK.
Yesterday I bought a new ipad2.
It will only connect to my wifi when it is in the same room.
When it is less than 2 metres form the router, it drops one bar, and when I go out of the room it drops connection completely.
I have an iphone and that connects to wifi from anywhere in the house.
I connect to wifi via BT and a BT router.
Please does anyone have amy suggestions to help?
Thank you.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

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.

On belhalf of my fellow volunteers, the answer is, "We'll try our best."
My advice is to try not to treat this like it is a paid service provided by compensated professionals. Ask nicely and one of the nice folks here might take some time out of their weekend to offer advice. -
I just upgraded my iPhone 4 and iPad Mini to iOS 7, suddenly they both can no longer access to iTunes nor App Store. The message says "Cannot connect to App Store". After some research, I did reset all, and still the same. Can anyone have a clue? Thanks,
As I mentioned earlier, when I clicked on the App Store or iTunes Store, the message reads "Cannot connect to iTunes Store" or "Cannot connect to App Store" depending on which I clicked.
I did check iTunes & App Store, it used to show my Apple ID there, but somehow it shows empty there. I then manually typed in my Apple ID, it just won't work. I know for sure that my Apple ID works as I tried logging online using that ID fine, but my iPhone and iPA

I replaced both of my iPhone 4S/7.x with iPhone 5S/7.x and neither was qable to connect to any WiFi unless I was within 20' of the WiFi router. So I took both to the Apple store and they replaced both iPhone 5S.
Now one works perfectly, however the other does not. I went to the Apple store again, and they replaced the replacement iPhone 5S with another 5S. Same problem.
I went back to the Apple store again and they replaced replacement #2 with another replacement, so this is the 3rd time! They recommended I take the replacement iPhone 5S and not restore,but start as a new iPhone. Before I did anything, I checked to see if the WiFi worked "out of the box"....it did not!! Thus, there wasn't any reason to do a new install, since it did not appear to be my software load.
By the way, all 3 of my MacBook Pro's and iPad work perfectly over WiFi.
Also, all my iPhones and iPad are on v 7.04
It doesn't appear to make sense to go back to the Apple store Genius Bar, as it appears all of their stock have this issue.

All I can suggest is that you open that file on the MBA and save it as a new file, then see if you can open the new one on the iMac.
