My iPad 2 worked fine until the upgrade to 5.1. Now when it connects to airport on my Mac it loses the connection in a few seconds.

I've asked friends who have had similar experience after the upgrade.

A few things to try.
Before doing these, turn off your Internet modem, your computer, your iPad and your router.
Then start the devices in this order
Modem
Router
Computer
iPad
Wait until each device is running and connected to the Internet before starting the next device. If this works forget the next two items.
1. Go to Settings > Wi-Fi > then tap the little blue arrow to the right of your network name > Forget this Network
Then let you iPad reconnect and see if it then works properly.
2. Go to Settings > General > Reset (scroll to the bottom) > Reset Netork settings.
Then reboot your iPad. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the iPad restart. After the iPad restarts see if yourvipad will find and connect to the network.

My Ipad Mini Remote app worked consistently until I upgraded my iTunes. Now it stops working.

The Remote app worked consistently until I upgraded my iTunes. Now when I first open on my ipad it will work but on subsequent tries it won’t connect and tells me that I have to turn on home sharing (Which is already turned on). This is using my ipad mini to connect to iTunes on Win 8.1
Very frustrating. I wish I hadn't downloaded the iTunes update!

Look at this similar post https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3816868?start=15&tstart=0
Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
Plug the USB flash drive (works the same with an SD card) into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

I can't send emails from Mail. I have three different accounts set up and have the same problem with all. The mail just sits in my outbox. All worked fine until Yosemite upgrade. Recent update has not fixed problem.

I have been experiencing the same problem. My mail app won't even open on my Late 2011 Macbook Pro. It will show as open, but the app will never actually show up.

I have an Epson scanner that is apparently no longer supported because it is a PowerPC app. It's a very good scanner that worked fine until I upgraded to OS Mountain Lion on my MacBook Pro. Any suggestions on how I can continue to use it?

Solved the problem by dumping my external HD onto another computer. Re-formatting and re-installing the data. Not what I wanted to do but it solved the problem.

Try resetting the phone:
Press the Sleep/Wake button & Home button at the same time, keep pressing until you see the Apple logo, then release.

My 4s worked fine until i upgraded to IOS8. Is anyone starting a class action lawsuit against Apple?

My 4s worked fine until i upgraded to IOS8. Is anyone starting a class action lawsuit against Apple?

I already had all of the features turned off, had 20% free, all transparency were turned off and a few apps were on refresh and now are all turned off.
Like I said, my phone worked fine until I installed IOS 8 and now the screen will freeze intermittingly and runs very slowly when searching it. In other words IOS 8 significantly diminished the operation of a perfectly good phone and Apple will not let you roll it back to IOS 7. They F’d up my phone intentionally to sell us all the latest model.

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.

Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

The flash on my iPod touch 5 worked fine until I upgraded to iOS 7. I have made all the updates to 7.0.2, but none have addressed fixing the flash. When is Apple going to issue an update that will include fixing this problem?

I've seen several discussions on the camera flash for iPhone and iPod Touch 5 wherein the flash doesn't work or is out of sync. Mine was fine until I upgraded to iOS 7. Despite being current with the new updates, there has been nothing to fix the flash.

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync/delete all music and resync
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

Firefox sync worked fine until I upgraded Firefox to version 5.0.1, then all my bookmarks added since I started use Firefox sync dissapeared

Since I upgraded to Firefox 5.0.1 all bookmarks I added since I started use Firefox Sync dissapeared, only old bookmarks remain. Before upgrade syncing worked fine.

Install the following Add-on until Google releases a new version of their toolbar that is compatible with Firefox 5. Google needs to test their toolbar with Firefox 5 and change one line in their code to make it compatilbe. Most Add-ons that worked with Firefox 4 should still work with Firefox 5, but the developers need to update a line in their Add-on's code to indicate with which versions of Firefox the Add-on is compatible. The following Add-on adds a "Compatibility" button in your Add-ons > Extensions that you may need to click after installing it and restarting Firefox.

My daughters ipod touch face time worked fine until she upgraded to ios5 what has happened and can we go back to ios4?

Hi my daughters ipod touch was working fine while using ios4 but since she has downloaded ios5 she cannot use facetime. we have tried using backup etc but still not working, any advice please?

First and foremost, you are now a risk to Verizon due to having to make payment arrangements, thus their reasoning for not being able to bill the upgrade fees.
That said, I had the same exact problem as far ordering online and processing. I initially ordered online and my order was 'stuck' and 'had to be escalated' to be canceled. This actually happened twice within a week. When you call and order over the phone, as it is in retail, the prices differ and they wouldn't match it, although it's their own issue. You'll have a hard time getting any retail store to agree on giving up their stock for an online order, although when ordering, you're given the option.
Now, to the next point, there is no point in looking elsewhere for service. You'll run into an issue with any major carrier as they all operate virtually the same. Your best bet is a local carrier, if they service your area.

How do I change Default search engine in the address bar, not the search window on the top right or by using about:config, doesn't work. Worked fine until this FF 8.0 update, now defaults to Yahoo 7. About to throw it in and use Chrome.

When Firefox 8.0 installed it has automatically changed my address bar default search engine to Yahoo7 which is crap. I can not change this back. So when I start FF it opens to my google home page, when I type a subject and search the results are displayed in a Yahoo 7 results page, not google. I am not talking about my default home page or the search bar to the top right. This is still google.
The settings in about:config do nothing.
This was fine until FF 8.0.

Thanks dmcritchie,
Nice effort but that answers a different question about fixing the add-on Yahoo toolbar.
Pernich and I want to know; If you type search criteria directly into the address bar and hit enter, how to change that search engine from Yahoo to Google.
Otherwise I too will go back to using Google Chrome, even though I really like FF8.0
please help

My mail outbox wont go online. Inboxes work fine. Just upgraded my old iMac to OS 10.6.8, kept my internet provider, entered all the same numbers and settings so can't figure out why mail won't go out. Help. S.T.

My eMail outbox won't go online. I can't send eMail messages but I am currently receiving my messages.
Just upgraded my older iMac to 10.6.8 but kept the same eMail addresses (Google), the same provider (Cricket Broadband), and entered all the same settings in Mail Preferences and Accounts as before.
Any suggestions as how to get my outbox online so I can send mail?
ST

Hello,
Who is your eMail provider, the part after the @ sign?
In Mail's Window Menu, choose Connection Doctor, any red dots for status, if so what is the message?
Then click the Show Details button & Check again.
Mail: Can't send messages, "Cannot send message using the server smtp.xxxxx.com" alert appears...
old: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1482
What SMTP setting do you have for gMail?
Did you get rid of any old passwords in Keychain Access?

I have had to create a new iTunes account. However, there are updates that were not performed while under the old account. So now when I try to update apps, it's asking for the login of the old account, which I do not have.

I have had to open a new account, however, there were App updates that did not get installed before I opened the new account. Therefore, when I try to do the updates, it's is asking for the sign-in and password for the old account, which I do not have this information.

All apps are tied to the Apple ID they are purchased with and is not transferable.
Delete these apps and download them with the new Apple ID.
