My FaceTime constantly fails and the wifi switches to 3G by its self.
It's been happening for awhile now. I can FaceTime from my mac just fine it only happens with my iPhone 4. I'd appreciate some help.
Being the FaceTime only works over wifi i'd suspect your wifi router is the problem
Try updating it's firmware

I connect my device and the live encoder just exits by its self What do I do? Please help.
I connect my device and i see it in the scroll bar and I click on it and then a couple sec. later its just exits out of the software Please help
Sorry. You can not merge 2 backups. Since the 3rd party software seems to be able to read it, just extract the pictures and sync them back to the phone if you want them there. As for the messages, the best you'll probably be able to do is paste them into a text file for future reference if you need to keep them.

I have an i pad 2 and for some reason the wifi switch wont pass to on
just recently the wifi switch on my i pad 2 has stopped working. i have re set all settings wipped the whole i pad and still not working can any body help me out.
or has anyone had a similar situation i realy miss the i padTry this - Reset 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. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
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

I use Outlook for my email, and about 90% of the time when I want to attach a pdf or jpg file it failes and andout 50% of the time when I'm trying to send a standered text email I also failes and the email masage crashs. The only way I can get my Outlook to work is if I switch to Firefox. I would rater not have to swich all my bookmarks over to Firefox.
Has any one eals had this problem?That's an Outlook issue. You'll probably get better responses posting on the Office for Mac forums.

I bought an iphone 4 on ebay and the wifi won't work.
I can't even toggle the wifi switch to the "on" position. what is wrong with this thing? its 32 gb I am only using 6 gb of it. its really slow sometimes and i haven't activated it with the carrier cause i don't have verizon. i was planning on unlocking it and going to virgin mobile. but now verizon said they won't do anything for me cause i am not a verizon customer and apple says that it is no longer under warranty and to just figure out whats wrong i have to pay $145 and activate it with verizon, which i know i can't afford. i already paid $175 for it. and if i decide to send it back i can't restore it back to factory settings because i can't get online to turn off find my phone. what should i do?
A Verizon iPhone 4 can not be used with any carrier other than Verizon. If you can return it for a refund, do so.

My battery died last night and the phone switched itself...
My battery died last night and the phone switched itself off. It has now been charging for 5 hours and still will not switch on. Please help.
Remove and reinsert the battery from the device. Also clean the battery and device connectors with a cloth....then plug the device on the charger.
If that fails then you might have to consider changing the battery.

What a horrible way to treat customers. I was due for updates on my phones and thought I should maybe check some other prices but have been with Verizon for 20 yrs so ended up there. I got 2 new IPhones 5s and the wife couldn’t decide what she wanted so she stayed with old phone but this locked me into a new 2 yr contract . Within a wk one of the new iPhones started turning on and of like 10 –15 times a day. Wk 2 it turned off and would not turn on again . It was my sons who was in college at the time so we talked and he took it in to a Verizon store where he was told I need to come in since the account was in my name. He was away from home , Verizon could see on account it was his phone they said it was not abused, they could not even turn it on , they sold me the phone give him another phone maybe even a loaner till he gets another. So now I need to go to store and explain to 3 different people this is my phone and my son has it and I need a new one. what a waste of time after about 2 hrs and talking to different people and yes they said there were notes on his account from other person he had talked to from different store. So I finally walk out with a receipt in hand and being told I would have a new phone in a couple days. As I sat in my vehicle thinking this is stupid I looked at my receipt and noticed it said droid on it so back into Verizon I went. The salesman said that’s what your son has on his account. My son had activated a friends old phone so he has one since VERIZON REFUSED to give him one. Another hr 3 people and yes they can see he had a new iPhone and notes on it from other store. Sometimes sorry just doesn't do it. I was now late for a appointment . Now I walk out and have been told I will get a new iPhone in the mail in about 2 wk Yes 2 wks again I bought it there just give me a new one and you send old one back. I will also get a new droid that I have to send back because they said they cant cancel it . In about 3 days I get the Droid and sent it back Verizon mistake and a waste of my time . After waiting over 2 wks and not receiving a new iPhone back to Verizon I went . I am now bitter at Verizon after doing 20 yrs of business with them. 3 people 1 hr later I was told it got delivered to my post office . I got the tracking num called the post office and they say o yes that was the droid. Go back in to Verizon another hr of explaining I walk out being told I will get a new iPhone in a couple of days, We’ll see . Once again I got the phone in your store just give me a new one . Do you realize how much of my time you have wasted ? do you care? O what is Your Policy ? How many Billion did you make last year ? I am Locked into a new 2 yr contract . Why don’t you just release me ? After 20 yrs do you think I will ever renew my contract ?
Simple process. If an iPhone go to the Apple Store and not Verizon
the phone from Verizon will be a refurbished device and not new unless under the 14 day worry free guarantee
good luck -
I have a new ipad and everything works but can't connect to the app store. Itunes works and the wifi seems to be working but i get a blank white screen when i open the appstore. Nothing will load unter the features or charts tab so i cant download any apps. Purchased and updates tab loads fine. Any suggestions?
You would get better response from the iTunes community forum.
Have a nice day! -

Hello there, TempestBelcher.
It seems you've covered all the bases, but feel free to review the iPhone Troubleshooting Assistant for connectivity here:
Apple - Support - iPhone - Calls Troubleshooting Assistant
http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/assistant/calls/#section_0
If you've followed all the instructions then there are a few good recommendations for what to do next in the last step.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.

Bought a new Ipod touch and the WiFi does not connect. Tried Reset and total Restore, does not connect to Router on DHCP, tried Static IP, Subnet, Router and DNS manually and still can not get it to connect even though it registers as connected. Using Airport for router, latest firmware, no problems with Iphone 4 or Macbook Pro or any other internet devices. After total Restore (factory settings) tried again, showed connected to router, but does not display "check" next to router but little rotating icon even though the wifi range signal shows connected at full strength and it says it is connected. Just can't seem to get it to generate an IP. Any solutions other than turning it on and off again? Not a Merry Christmas morning.
Ok, so, a couple of things: Denisefromwaleska and I have the exact same size/type/color iPod. Now wishing I'd bought the black one maybe...
Second, Airport is an Express and I have a second one that I carry with me when I travel. Tried to connect my Airport Express to the internet and could not although the iPod did recognize the router and tried to connect to the internet for some time, unlike my previous problem. Updated firmware on my travel router, still could not connect to the internet. Going to try to set up a manual Static IP on the travel router here in a few and conect through it although I predict the problem will persist. Back on the Christmas Present Airport Express router, it is back in play and working fine for all devices save the iPod.
Thanks again for all your help, hopefully I can get a solution in place soon, -
I have a problem with my Iphone 4s since I did my first update at your Itunes, the bluetooth and the WiFi it is not workinhg anymore.
It is sad that companies like apple are not able to support thier sofware and business.
I went to a apple store at South Park, Charlotte NC,
and found out the worst customer service (in my case)
They don't have answers and don't understand about "dont let any customer go away sad or mad"
I explain to them that I did everything they said to fix the problem, even to dounload the iOS 6.1.3
that was supposed to fix the problem.
they said fix the problem in other phones but not in mine.
So here I am with no wifi and bluetooth, with apple technicians and experts that don't know what to do with the problem that the sofware they developed cause in my iphone 4s.
and the solution is for me to pay $199.00 US dollars for a problem that I did not cause.
wich means to buy something else from apple to fix a problem that it is not my fault.
Great! what a convenient solution.
I would like to have an answer from you guys and see if someone there have a better answer for me that shows support, values and integrity as a grest company with solutions for your customers.
Dont think that I want a new phone, I want mine fixed if is possible.
Thank you very much and God Bless you!Apple isnt here. this is a user based forum for technical questions. The solution is to restart, reset, and restore as new which is in the manual after that get it replaced for hard ware failure. if your within your one year warranty its replaced if it is out of the warranty then it is 199$
