Is anyone else having iPad 2 wireless issues?

I'm on my second iPad 2, the first one had issues staying connected to my airport extreme and had very slow download and upload speeds. The apple store replaced it and the second one seemed to stay connected fine but was still very slow on the internet compared to my iPhone and iMac. I use Speed Test and have repeatedly seen very slow speed results when testing all three devices one after the other. Now it seems that the issue with connectivity is getting worse and the speed test remain very slow in comparison. I did a test on my iPhone today are got very fast speed and the iPad 2 wouldn't even connect to the wireless. This is very frustrating as I decided to spend the extra $ for the wireless feature. Anyone else having these issues and what would you do? Any fixes or updates coming soon from Apple? Love the devise otherwise.

My iPad2 has recently experieced dropped connectivity problems as well. At first I thought it was an issue because I just got my wife the 4th gen iPad and as soon as she started using it I started having these problems. I can connect if I'm sitting next to the router (Time Capsule), but if I move out more than twenty feet the connection gets weaker and eventually disconnects. This only happens with the iPad2, my wife's original iPad still maintains a strong signal as does her new one, same with all the MacBook Pros we have. It's not the router since I have tried it with others with the same result.
I have done all the suggested steps by Apple User Maunual and by Discussion groups members
1. rebooted the iPad2 and Time Capsule
2. Reset Network settings
3. Established separate channel 6 for 2.4ghz versus 5.ghz
4. Shut off Auto- Brightness and turn up Brightness to full.
5. I even wiped all the data, apps, etc clean and started over.
I still have the problem. Quite frustrating to say the least. There still may be an issue between 2.4ghz devices and those that are also 5.ghz, but I haven't solved it yet. Or maybe it's a hardware antenna issue.

Is anyone else having Config error 16 issue when trying to start PSE 12 or Premier Elements after Mac upgrade to Yosemite 10.10 on iMac

Is anyone else having Config error 16 issue when trying to start PSE 12 or Premier Elements 12 after the Mac upgrade to OS X Yosemite 10.10 on iMac. I have had a number of issues with software and things after upgrading to OS X Yosemite 10.10 and even 10.10.1. I have uninstalled and reinstalled both PSE 12 and Premier Elements 12 a number of times and everything goes fine until its ready to launch and then you get an error message. Numerous uninstalled and reinstalls don't removing the problem. Strangely enough PSE 11 still appears to boot up and I never owned Premier Elements 11 so I don't know if it will start. I thought with Apple dropping its Apeture software and greater integration of iPhoto and Apeture files into Lightroom 5.7 all would be harmonious between these two players. Im not sure where Adobe wants us to go it recently removed the plugin to allow you to update files from LR to Adobe Revel, whats up with that. I now own two version of Adobe software that no longer work with my Mac and now way of uploading pictures from Lightroom to Revel. Needless to say I am pretty reluctant to sign on to a subscription of Creative Cloud with long term financial obligations when I can't even get my current Adobe software to work independently much less integrate with Lightroom. Frustrated with it all!

Get rid of 'put disks to sleep when possible' and you may see a dramatic improvement (not necessarily a cure).
That specific problem is a multiple-Processor (including graphics processor) problem, where one of the processors lost track of whether it should be responding to interrupts. You may have a Hardware problem.

Is anyone else having random file access issues? including "Element not found" error?

I don;t know what the @#$ is going on with this device, but for example:
user A creates a folder in their area(under a share with RW rights)
Everything is great..
They come in on day2, and all of a sudden, they get "Access denied" on the (excel) file
Typically, if I re-apply full rights for them using windows permissions, it "fixes" it.
Today, I went to modify a excel spreasheet that I've been using for a week or so, and boom, access denied
and effective permissions indicate that very thing: no rights.
I attempted to re-apply rights to my home directory, and on that particulat .xls, got a "Element not found" message.
I'm sad that I've had SO much trouble with this device.
I re-sycned with A/D just for kicks, no help.
It syncs with A/D daily
I've had so many of these related permissions issues, we're likel;y scrapping the Lenovo for a windows server, but I figured I'll see if anyone else is dealing with this message..
I'm also open to the fact that it could be our A/D I suppose..

Sorry to reply to such an old topic, but I am having exactly the same issue. Did you ever find a fix? We are reapplying all the parent folder settings every morning to bandaid the situation, but it is becoming a little ridiculous...
We have our settings so that a file administrator has full access to everyone's files, and each individual has full access to their own folder. The folder settings never change, but the files seem to lose the user's access permission periodically after being opened or edited (haven't narrowed down the exact cause, but has never happened to files that haven't been accessed, but doesn't always happen to files that have been accessed). One odd thing that might have something to do with it, the ownership of files keeps defaulting to a generic 63353/UNIX instead of the creator of the file or the owner of the parent folder (which is set the way we want). We are currently experiementing with changing it, but it seems ike if we set the owner to the user, the file administrator randomly loses access, if we set to the file admin, the user randomly loses access. I think we might be can bandaid the situation from the user's perspective with this, but it doesn't seem to fix the initial issue, that the folder permissions won't stay set.

Anyone else having wifi drop out issues with their iPad 3?

Right from the word 'go' I have experienced frequent losses in wifi connectivity on my iPad 3 (64Gb, 4G). Fortunately I don't have to keep re-entering my wifi password but I do have to keep renewing the lease which is really tedious. My iPad 2 works flawlessly on the same network (Netgear cable modem/router from Virginmedia). I also have an iPod Touch and an iPhone that also work without issues on this set up. Thus far I have tried:
Rebooting the modem
Restoring the iPad 3
Resetting the network settings on the iPad 3
Changing the channel on the router from 'auto' to various other channels
Switching between WPA and WEP encryption on the router
Turning off the auto brightness (a tip I saw that worked on some of the earlier iPads)
None of the above have helped and after three calls to Apple support I have received a replacement iPad 3 which has exactly the same problem? People talk about replacing one's router as a potential solution but my options are limited because this is a combination cable unit supplied by Virginmedia. Also, the issue points pretty clearly to the iPad 3 because, as I mention, my other Apple products work flawlessly. I'm going abroad shortly and I'm thinking of leaving the iPad 3 at home if I can't sort out its wifi capabilities.
Any ideas?

Additional things to try.
Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
On your iPad go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings and see if that enables you to connect.
If none of the above suggestions work, look at this link.

Anyone else having repeated wifi connectivity issues with the OSX version 10.8.5?

I just updated the software on my iMac to OS X version 10.8.5. Now I am having repeated connectivity issues with the wifi in my house. This is the only device that is having these issues. My phone, ipad and tv are not having any problems at all.
It happened immediately following the update. I was sending emails and browsing before the update without a problem.
from apple:

I had a message like that last week - only it asked what browser I would be using - I just quit safari - purges caches etc - and at that time noticed I was getting RSS feeds through PUBSUB - tracking them down to the top sites view I never use - I deleted all of the top sites (most of which I don't go into so it must have been a preset) that included MSN and Google - I don't use google so that was pointless. (deleting a top site means you are blocking it from that page) Have not had the message since so it must have had something to do with top sites activity.
Just a note: Did see somewhere probably BBC tech - that Google was going to stop supporting older web browsers.

Anyone else having screen/window resolution issues in windows 8.1?

Hi,
I have Indesign CC 64-bit, on a Dell XPS18. I upgraded(?) to Windows 8.1.
Since then the Indesign screens show at a lower res than other windows - that's menus and everything, not just the page content.
Any help appreciated.
Ed

That led me to the solution - thanks! I followed the Compatability Troubleshooter and checked the Disable display scaling on high DPI settings.
Much better!
Thanks again.

Is anyone else having email problems such as apps exiting in the middle of an email? It may be a wireless issue. I use First Class for work and yahoo email for personal. I will be in the middle of typing a long email and the app just quits, all data lost.

Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after the iPad shuts down, then press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds). Ignore the "Slide to power off"

We have an iPad mini, since we updated it with ios7, it no longer picks up our wifi. It doesn't even list my network on the wifi screen anymore. Is anyone else having a similar issue?

We have an iPad mini, since updating to ios 7, the iPad no longer picks up my network. My iPhone 4 was having a similar issue, but it was picking up my network. I was able to find a fix to the iPhone, but the nothing is working for our iPad. Is anyone else having a problem like this? Is there a fix?

Reset the device:
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
You will have to re enter the Wi-Fi password.
If that doesn't help, try here > iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections

Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.

Is anyone else having charging connection issues with their generation 4 ipad?

My generation 4 ipad is having charging connections. When I plug it in to charge with the charger that came with it, the part that connects right to the actual ipad is not always connecting. Sometime I have to wiggle it around or angle it until I hear the sound of connection and can see on the screen that it is actually charging. Sometimes I will charge it and when I leave it is in charge mode but when I come back to check on it, it never charged at all. Is anyone else having this problem or know what might be wrong? I would think a brand new ipad wouldn't have a charging problem right out of the box.

Hi gruhland,
Thanks for your reply. It sounds like your device is actually in a restart loop, which is different from the process of a soft reset. Specifically, what I wanted you to try is this:
Resetting your device
If your device stops responding, you can reset it by pressing and holding both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If resetting does not break the restart loop, it sounds like a different direction may be warranted here. Due to the nature of your issue you may find more assistance by using another one of Apple's support resources:

Take care,

Anyone else having trouble with their iPad disconnecting from wifi since 6.0.1 update

Anyone else having trouble with their iPad dropping wifi about once a week since 6.0.1 update?

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

TS1702 Is anyone else having issues with the most recent Facebook update? I updated it yesterday and now it won't open. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the app, but it still fails to open! Any suggestions?

Is anyone else having issues with the most recent Facebook app update? I updated it on my iPad 2 yesterday, now it will not open app at all. I have restarted iPad, uninstalled app and reinstalled, several times and still it will not work! Any suggestions? I have also closed the append still no results!

I just started having this yesterday. It's only happened twice, but it's annoying. My wife texted me that she was coming home last night, and it showed up immediately on my iPod Touch but not my iPhone. I opened my iPhone and it soon updated. Worked fine after that. Then just a moment ago today my wife texted me and the same thing happened. I heard my iMac and iPod Touch receive the message but it didn't display on my phone until I opened the phone and it showed up again a little bit thereafter. I suppose I'll send Apple some feedback on this issue.

Is anyone else having iPad 2 wireless issues?
