Issues with wifi since updating to iOS 6 on iPad 3.

I'm having wifi issues since updating to iOS 6 on my iPad 3. I can't access certain sites and get error messages such as 'servor can't connect' and 'request timed out.' Although some sites work fine. I can't access apps which require internet such as facebook, iMessenger, face time and games which need internet access. I can't use iTunes or App store and get the message 'can't connect to iTunes try again.' All these problems started after I updated to iOS 6. I found that the iPad works fine at another location on a different wifi but not at home. The home internet is not the issue as laptops, phones and iPad 1 and 2 all work fine on the internet here. I took my iPad to the apple store with no help and no useful advice so came back again and they offered me a hardware swap which I took. I now have the new iPad but the issue still remains. I have tried everything and I have done everything that has been suggested. Some things I have done are reset network settings, reset all settings, changed wifi dns, changed HTTP proxy to auto, closed all apps and re-opened, fully shut down the iPad, turned off the wifi router and restored the iPad several times. I have searched for help and advice and found that there are many complaints about iOS 6 on the iPad 3 when it comes to wifi. What else is there for me to do to fix this problem? I can't use internet or apps that require internet, basically my iPad is of no use at the moment. Do I have to wait for a new software update which will address this problem?

Are you losing the connection to iTunes on the iPad or the computer? You are saying that iTunes is updated. Of course iTunes is updated when you update the iOS software. That's a no brainer.
If you mean that iTunes is updated on the computer, that has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with downloading and updating apps on the iPad itself so changing the date on the iPad, signing in and out of the stores on the iPad .... Doing any of that on the iPad would have nothing to do with iTunes on your computer.
If .... you have not been able to connect to the iTunes or app stores at all on the iPad - try this ...
Settings>Privacy>Location Services>System Services (swipe to the bottom of the page to find this)>Location Based iAds>Off.
If the downloads are stalled or "waiting" - try these suggestions.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
If you can't connect at all - you can also try rebooting your router. Unplug it from power for about 30 seconds and then plug it in again.

Since updating to iOS 6 iPad uses cellular even though I'm on WiFi

Since updating to iOS 6, my iPad uses cellular to down load everything, even though I'm on my home WiFi. It shows that it is connected to my WiF, but, does't use it. As a result, my cellular usage has gone thru the roof. iOS 5.1 did not do that. iOS 5 would automatically switch to my network and work within my network and not cellular. Other than switching off cellular when I'm home, is Apple going to fix this bug or any other suggestions?

Your answer was true with iOS 5.1 however, not with iOS 6. It's the same problem is occurring with iPhone 5. Apparently Apple has issued a patch for iPhone 5 using Verizon's cellular network. My iPad (3) uses Verizon's cellular network.
Not looking to avoid cellular charges but wanting my iPad to switch to WiFi when it's available. For example, at home my WiFi is on ALL the time. The icon showing that WiFi is on and active shows up in the upper left corner (as well as the Verizon icon) however, is still operating on the cellular network. I want the connivence I had with iOS 5. I don't need to be switching manually.

Issues with GoogleMail after updating to iOS 4.2.1

Hello,
yesterday I have updated my iPhone to 4.2.1.
Now I have issues with syncing my mails, calender and notes from Google.
All apps (Mail, Calender and Notes) crashed right after opening them. So I decided to create a new account on my iPhone. Therefore I deleted my existing acoount and started to configure a new one (Settings => Mail, Contacts, Calender => Add account => Google Mail). After filling the form with all necessary inputs (name, address, password and description) the app crashes.
Does anyone have a solution for this problem?
Thanks!
Chris

I just experienced the exact same thing after upgrading from iOS 4.2.x to iOS 4.3...
Now my iPad shows the picture of the white USB cable that tells me to connect to iTunes to (re)activate. After trying this nothing happens - except from a message in iTunes telling me that;
"There is a problem with your iPad.
We're sorry, the iPad you connected may be damaged and canot be activated for service. We recommend you to visit your nearest Apple Store for more information. To find your..."
Anyone else had similar exeriences?!

Issues with Airplay since update.

iPhone updated to iOS 5.1
AppleTV2 updated (not sure what the lastest version is)
iTunes updated to 10.6 (latest)
Got the new screen on ATV2, but apps I use that used Airplay before, cannot stream to ATV2.
Just get the spin on the screen and nothing.
This happens with MLBatBat and GBTV.
Both work on the iphone, but can't airplay them. Everything else can airplay.
Any ideas?

I talked to GBTV customer service again on Friday and they are aware of the issue but they don't have idea when there might be a fix. I just tried to Airplay Thursday night's Glenn Beck Program and it's still a no go. Does anyone know who the company/developer is who markets the technology used in GBTV and MLB? I want to start communicating with the entity that can fix the problem. Talking to Apple won't do anything as they don't view it as their problem. I'm pushing the GBTV customer service people as much as I can and although they say that understand it is a big problem, I'm not unsure how many subscribers are actually affected. GBTV pushes the Roku box as the primary means of getting GBTV. If the "Apple TV people" are a small percentage of their subscribers then I'm not sure how motivated they'll be to find to fix.

Can't access WiFi since updating to IOS 8.1.2

I just bought a brand new Ipad Air 2 and one of the 1st things I did was to update the IOS. Now I can't access the WiFi at work but I can't just ask the IT department 'excuse me - would you mind resetting the corporate wifi signal so my Ipad will work again!'
If your updates screw very expensive devices up, you should leave well enough ALONE!!
Do you have any suggestion as to how I can correct this problem or even to undo the upgrade?

You are not addressing Apple here. This is a user to user support forum, so your attitude is not necessary.
Did you activate this device from a backup of your old one? If so, the reset that JimHdk provided should work. It could be the corporate network is confused by a device with the same name but different Mac address.

Anyone still having issues with connecting to wifi since updating to IOS 6.1.1 (iPhone 4S)?

It worked for about 5 mins every 40 mins up until 12 hours after updating the software. The wifi is greyed out (can't turn on or off) now, and I am becoming rather frustrated with this as I have been without internet for at least a week now, with my work relying heavily upon internet access. Any help would be great, I have done the hard reset, a normal shut-down, and I have restored my iPhone twice now and still no change. ANY help would be fantastic!

I'm having the exact same problem! However, mine hasn't worked at all even after resetting network settings, restoring phone from back up and as a new iPhone, drained the battery and turned the phone on and off. I am really angry because apple released an update yesterday to fix bugs specifically on iPhone 4S and it has done nothing. My idea would be to book an appointment with your local apple store. I have one on Saturday and hopefully they will replace the phone as I am still under warranty. If you're not still under warranty I think it'll cost you some money, which ***** because its apples fault.

TS2755 Is anybody else experiencing issues with iMessage since updating to ios7.1?

I'm having issues since doing the last update on my 5s. I do not use iMessage on any other device bar this, and have logged my ID out of iMessage, FaceTime and the AppStore and rebooted. I have reset my carrier settings and have performed a full system restore. It started working on wifi, but once away from wifi, no luck. I contacted my carrier who confirmed all aspects of my account were fine (coverage, data etc.) so I am at a loss.
I have visited my local apple store, they were unable to assist - suggested I make an appointment with Genius Bar, which is difficult because they don't work weekends...
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks, LC

Activation of imessage and facetime requires the ability to send a hidden SMS to an apple server in the UK. the phone number starts with +44. If you are not in that country and your service plan does not allow the sending of international texts then that is your problem

I still cannot stream YouTube/Netflix/iPlayer etc. on my iPhone 4 via WiFi since updating to iOS 6.0.1....can anyone please solve this for me??

I posted a couple of days ago about a problem my iPhone 4 was having trying to stream video via WiFi
Basically, since I upgraded to iOS 6.0.1 I cannot stream YouTube videos via the app or via Safari, Netflix will not work nor will services such as BBC iPlayer.
I've also discovered this evening I cannot stream any radio apps either.
All of them will play for 10-30 seconds then stop buffering making them impossible to play.
I was given several pieces of advice including restoring the phone to factory settings, restoring it as a new phone, hard resetting twice in a row, deleting all the cache/data in Safari but nothing that has been suggessted has solved the problem.
I know it is not a problem with my internet/WiFi as I have a laptop and a PC both using it and streaming YouTube/raddio stations etc. with no problem. Also, my girlfriend has a 3GS with the old YouTube player and that works with no problems at all.
Can anyone please help me out as it's getting a bit frustrating not being able to use the streaming function on my iPhone.
One thing that is odd, I have no problem surfing the web on the phone via WiFi or streaming over 3G. It is only a problem when trying to stream video/audio over WiFi.
Thanks.

Rare reception/ coverage with 4s since updating to ios 6.

Living in the 2nd biggest city in Germany where I always, with any kind of cell phone, used to have all full bars/ coverage, now i have only three bars maximum, plus WLan/ WiFi wont work constantly anymore. Ever since i upgraded to ios 6. I am furious and disappointed in apple!!! what did you do? Why cant you fix this?

We suffered the imap.gmail.com server problem After an IoS 6 upgrade. The simple solution is to delete the problem account, shut down the iPad, start up again and reenter the account. Everything comes back normally. Good Luck everyone!

Having issues with WiFi after upgrading to iOS 7.

After upgrading my iPhone 5 to iOS 7 I'm having WiFi issues that I didn't have with iOS 6. For example, on my home network YouTube videos hang multiple times in a 1 minute video, Facebook pages with heavy duty graphics take forever or don't load, and running Ookla speed test, all the test are slower. On every other computers in the house, download is faster than upload, except on the iPhone 5 with iOS 7. Anyone else seen this?

Do the basics first. follow http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398. I would also clear cookies and data in settings > safari.

Have any of you had trouble with calls since updating to iOS 4.3.3?

Hi there everyone,
I recently updated my iPhone 4 (from ATT) to iOS 4.3.3 and suddenly I am having trouble making and receiving calls--I am not receiving a great majority of my calls and apparently it goes straight to voicemail. When I try to make a phone call, there is terrible reception and the call eventually drops --but the screen continues as if I am still talking to the person. I know it really isnt a problem with the network becuase a) I have full bars whereever I go, and b) Ive been using this phone for the past 9 months in the same area with no problem!!
Are any of you having this problem, and if so what is your remedy (if you have found one). Should I just take it to the apple store and see what they have to say?
Thanks!

Did you get this resolved? I am having the same problem.

Anyone else had issues with phone network being unavailable on iPhone 4 since updating to iOS 5.0.1? My iPhone 4 is continually searching for a network and does not find my provider. I swapped SIMs with another iPhone 4 on ios 4 to confirm device problem.

Has anyone else had issues with phone network being unavailable on iPhone 4 since updating to iOS 5.0.1? My iPhone 4 is continually searching for a network and does not find AT&T, my provider. I swapped SIM cards with another iPhone 4 running ios 4 and established this is a device problem, not a SIM card problem.

Does the device get any signal?
Sounds like the device may have had a hardware failure. If it is out of warranty, the only option is the Out of Warranty replacement.
AppleCare is only an option if it is still under the original warranty.

Since updating to iOS 7.1, having issues with safari and wi-fi...

Since upgrading to iOS 7.1, I have experienced issues with wifi and safari. Many websites will not load and I receive the message that "Safari cannot open the page as the server cannot be found". This only happens with the iPad (iPhone 5 is fine), and the same problems do not exist when using 3G (cellular). I have tried a reset, renewing the lease, forgetting the network, rebooting, resetting the modem... Any help would be greatly appreciated.
