Is Wifi issue fixed with the 3.1 update for 1st Gen Touch?

I have a 1G Touch and I have been reluctant to upgrade to 3.0 because of the issues people seem to be having with wifi once they upgrade.
My wifi on 2.2.1 is fine, and I don't want to mess it up...but more and more apps require 3.0.
I'd like to know whether people are finding that the wifi issues are finally resolved with the 3.1 update...or not.
Opinions?

I upgraded to 3.0 as soon as I got my iPod Touch, so have always had the wifi problems. My home wifi works fine, though slowish. My broadband is a pretty consistent 5.9Mb/s. With 3.0 I was getting under 2.0Mb/s. With 3.1.1 I get between 2.0Mb/s and 3Mb/s (once I got 3.9Mb/s, but only once). I notice from the tests that the meter surges quickly up to about 5Mb/s before dropping like a stone to 2.4Mb/s or 2.8Mb/s. I would be happy for this to be improved but it doesn't really bother me.
But with Public wifi, it's a different story. I get everything from logging on immediately and working perfectly to not working at all. When I can log on to Public wifi, I notice two things. First, it's pretty well certain to fail with secure pages. Second, if it fails to connect the first time, stopping and restarting it will often produce a result. These are classic signs of DNS problems, as I recall from previous Mac upgrades.
I love the iPod, but I would love it even more if the wifi worked the way it's supposed to.

How do I manually transfer music with the new itunes update for Windows? I don't want to sync my library and lose all of my music for what I have in my current library.

How do I manually transfer music with the new itunes update for Windows? I don't want to sync my library and lose all of my music for what I have in my current library.

The same way it was done in every previous version.
Connect the device to the computer.
Right click on the device in iTunes and select Transfer Purchases.
Why would you lose any content by syncing with iTunes?
Is this not the computer that the device is normally synced with?

The 4G can not run IOS-7. "6" is the highest that it can go. You need the 5G for IOS-7.
However, that won't affect her ability to use iMessage and FaceTime.

Well first off you shouldn't have had to pay for a download (just an assumption from the word "purchased".
If you are trying to install iOS 5 on your iPod touch, it won't work they arent compatible. I suggest checking what version of software you are trying to install and posting it in this forum so people can have a better understanding.

Has anyone had problems with the latest driver update for the Lexmark printers? My Lexmark printers won't work with the latest driver update.

Has anyone had problems with the latest Lexmark printer driver update? My Lexmark printers won't work with the latest driver update. If I reinstall an older version of the drivers, they work.

Mine crashed once with new update, but working fine.
I had to delete old printer, restart iMac, and then reinstall
new drivers to get it to work. Would not complete without
the restart after deleting non-working printer. No problems
since and all features working.

Issue with iTunes view for podcasts with the latest iOS update (for my Macbook Air, Sept 21, 2013)

I just got the latest update for iOS for my Macbook Air - and now all of my previously deleted podcast episodes are showing up as available for download from the cloud - which is clogging up my iTunes display. How can I get these previously downloaded, listened to, and deleted episodes off of my podcast view/list?

"Not only did it download a new version of itunes, but it also downloaded MS Word updates, and other software that required updating."
MS Word is not an Apple product so it could not've downloaded with all the Apple software updates.
"I clicked File > Check for Updates"
What program were you running to do that?
In any case boot from your OS installer disk and run Repair Disk from Disk Uility.

I still haven't received the iOS 7 update for my iPod Touch 4th Generation

I understand that the iOS 7 update has been out for a while but I still havent't recieved the update.

iPod Touch (4th generation) won't support iOS7 because it only has 256 MB ram, iPod Touch (5th generation) has 512 MB ram. (iOS update 6.1.3) is the last and end of line for the device therefore:
There is nothing you can do . . . If you want iOS7, you must purchase iPod Touch (5th generation).

Has anyone had an issue with the Last Software Update for Lion 10.7 causing a system to be non-bootable? As of 12 June 2012?

I recently did a Software Update of OSX 10.7.4 (on June 12, 2012). It was on an iMac 27" Mid 2010.
After the Update, the system froze on a grey screen, the update failing. The mouse was still active, but the system was otherwise frozen.
The keyboard Caps Lock light would not respond. After waiting 15 minutes, I did a Power-Off by holding down the power buttone.
Upon reboot, the system gave a "grey screen of death" with a lernel Panic, noting the following was on the screen.
panic(cpu 0 caller 0xffffff800064ba7b): "Unable to find driver for this platform: \"ACPI'.\n"@/SourceCache/xnu/xnu-1699.26.8/iokit/Kernel/IOPlatformExpert.cpp:15 04
No safe mode.
Alt boot disk list woill not work.
Only Cmd-R to get to Revovery Boot.
I am currentluy restoring off Time Machine Backup taken earlier today.
Is this something other perople have come acress?
Would be interested to know...

Yes. Many are having this issue and it's from Apple's Thunderbolt Update which was released yesterday to support Apple's new Thunderbolt adaptors. Here is information on how to fix this issue: http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-57451440-263/thunderbolt-update-plaguing-ma cbook-pros-with-kernel-panics/

HT4623 How do I get the WiFi back with the new ios6 update for Iphone 4?

I updated to the new iOS6 last night and I can't get the WiFi to connect. I've read today Steve Streza, lead platform developer for Pocket.com, a San Francisco app vendor, outlined the issues. "Your phone checks a page on http://Apple.com to see if your network is working. If not, you're probably on a network like a hotel/airport, where you have to agree to their terms before you can use the Wi-Fi. Then they show you the page so you can agree."
(http://www.apple.com/library/test/success.html ...
Passbook does not work on iPhone 4.
If the update does not apply to my phone then they shouldn't offer the update. It causes too many problems.
I want my WiFi back. This is costing me a fortune and I think apple needs to cover these costs!

The songs I'm trying to reload on my phone are on my PC. These we had loaded into iTunes. I can remove them all from the library and then add them all back one by one I imagine. The problem I'm having is that I removed them manually from the phone, they still appear in iTunes music library yet they won't sync. I don't want to take the time to compare the phone to my library, remove from the library what's missing on the phone and then add them all back again. 64GB (mostly music) will take a while.

Anyone else having application freezes with the latest Patch update for Version 5.1.1?

Having major issues with my Iphone Apps after latest patch. Is there anything I can do to get my iPhone applications to install? Everything seems frozen. I have done many system resets and nothing has worked---I'm getting very frustrated.
Thanks!

Reset, Restore, Service. Those are the 3 steps for any device.
Next up: Restore! Enjoy

What's happening with the encryption security update for iPad 1? Or are we the lost children!?

I've updated my iPhones and newer iPad with 7.0.6 - but what about the original iPad - is that forever exposed to this security hole?

Additional things to try.
Try this first. 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.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

My MacBook works fine wifi everywhere except for home. The home wifi is fine with the iPad and iPhone. How can I fix my MacBook?

My MacBook works fine wifi everywhere except for home. The home wifi is fine with the iPad and iPhone, so I assume the issue is with my computer. My computer works fine on wifi networks elsewhere. The only problem is at home.
The computer "connects to the wifi," but browsers and other internet-dependent software do not work. Curiously, if I connect the ethernet cord that doesn't work either. Usually if I reset the modem to factory settings twice (for some reason, once doesn't do the trick), my computer will fully connect to the wifi. However, in a few days, it goes back to not working.
Today, resetting the modem didn't work. I could only get wifi connection while in safe mode, but not in normal mode. So, the issue seems to be software not hardware. I have tried starting new accounts in normal mode, but those also don't connect properly to internet.
Not sure if this is relevant, but this problem started when my building switched internet providers from ComHem to Telia (I live in Sweden).
What do you recommend I do?
Thanks!
PS I use Snow Leopard: OS 10.6.8

Not unless the modem is causing a problem.
What you want to do is get it to work reliably over Ethernet first, then tackle wifi. Power off the modem. On your macbook, delete the Ethernet configuration and the Wifi configuration. Power up the modem, then connect the mac via Ethernet. Create the new Ethernet configuration and see if you can connect.
