Ok geniuses, I have a problem that I am fairly certain is user error somehow. I have an iPhone 4S. I have a linksys router. My wifi runs fine with every device in the house. However, ONLY on my iPhone, it ALWAYS makes me put my password in.
We have another iPhone 4 in the house and it reconnects to the wifi just fine. The kindle, the laptop, the Xbox all reconnect fine. However, for some reason, my iPhone 4S makes me type in the wifi password multiple times a day. It will connect and works fine while connected. However, if I let it go to sleep, when I unlock the screen my wifi is "not connected". I have to deselect the router and retype the password. If something is using wifi like I heart radio or pandora or an update is downloading, it won't switch off the wifi, but in any other circumstance if the screen locks up and goes to sleep, when I unlock it I will need to reselect my network and retype the password. I have been dealing with this for months and have googled several times for a solution with no success. I'm pretty sure that when I was first setting up the wifi, I changed some setting on either the phone or the
router, but of course I can't figure out what I might have done. Please help!
I read the article thanks. I tried the settings-general-reset-reset network settings-reboot system-go to wifi settings-select wireless connection-select the ">"-symbol-select auto for http proxy. I was optimistic about that because I thought I changed some setting somehow to cause this problem, but it didn't work. More specifically, I did connect successfully and browsed the Internet for a good while, but then I put down the phone for a minute, the phone went into sleep/power save mode, and when I picked it back up a moment later it was no longer connected. Dang. Had to select the connection and use my password yet again.
Another valuable bit of info for you. The only network with which I have this problem is my home. I use all kinds of devices at home and no other devices have this problem. Also, I use this iPhone all over with various wifi networks at hotels and starbucks and family's homes with no issues whatsoever. It remembers and automatically reconnects with every wireless network except the one in my own house.

Help. We live in a house with 3 people. Two of us have macs, the other PC. The girl with the PC has never been able to connect to the wi-fi. Her computer will show full bars, but will tell her that it is unable to connect. Then I got a new iPhone and same thing...strong network signal, correct password, but it tells me that it cannot connect. Why does this happen? Why won't airport let us connect?
AT&T has not completely updated the MicroCell page and links. The new MicroCell is the black DPH-154 model which is replacing the white "Y" shaped models and you describe it. Functionally, they are currently the same. The only difference is that Cisco/AT&T has done away with the external antenna port and the Computer port. It's not a money making scam.
You can have multiple phones connected to the MicroCell at any one time without issues. One of the iPhones I assume has the phone number that is associated with the AT&T mobile account. That should be the phone number used to register the MicroCell with (what we call the primary number). The other iPhone, which I will assume is on the same account, needs to be added to the Approved Users List. Once you add the "problem" phone, turn off the phone and then turn it back on so that it can add the MicroCell to its cellular neighborhood. -
I usually work in my office, which has a couple of monitors plugged in via the miniports, but occassionally I would like to work in the house. To do this, I would like to use our second TV, which has an HDMI connnection.
This TV is used for various other devices, including a DVD player, an Xbox and a PS3. So why does it not work with the darn laptop?
And it's not the connection that's at fault on the laptop, because it works with my other HDMI TV.
Come on Apple. Look after your customers and at an absolute minimum have some kind of official notice to make your overpaying clients feel like you have the smallest amount of compassion. Instead, all I read is post after post of unhappy clients who are doing some overly fiddly tweaks to try to make things cooperate.
This is poor and you should take up the responsibility and sort it!Intermittent issues are usually a result of interference. Check www.istumbler.net to verify

So I went ot update my ipod on itunes....and a box appeared saying to make sure the internet setting are correct and active, but my internet is working fine. What do I do?
Sounds like this:
Update Server
Try:
- Powering off and then back on your router.
- iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
- Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
Public DNS — Google Developers
OpenDNS IP Addresses
- Try on another computer/network
- Wait if it is an Apple problem -
Hi, I have a problem that I receive lots of Spam messages from my office, I cannot bar the spam text from service provider due to official constrain.
I just want to know if there is any mechanisme where i can bar the message from a specific sender. I know there are some apps like Iblacklist available but we do not find it in any Iphone which is not jailbreak. I was just thinking of developing some code for it.No. You can't. Filtering would have to be done at the server level.

i currently have an iphone that i connect to my mac air to download music, i have now bought a nano for my wife can we use both devices on the same air without any problems???
My wife and I both have the iPhone 4 and it's actually pretty simple. Add another user on your MBA (her) and she can use the other iTunes when she is logged in. The iTunes is empty and will erase her iPhone, so be sure that she syncs her iPhone, then back up her library onto a portable media device like I did (SD Card) and reload it onto her empty iTunes on your MBA before she attempts to sync with it.
Works well...

Hey Andrew keriakous,
Thanks for the question. It sounds like your iPhone may be in recovery-mode. To resolve this issue, see the following:

I have a problem that I can not load or even close the download in iTunes, it turns out I have hanging in the mode, and because of that I can't download from AppStore, because it turns out that the other programs I have on standby. What do I do? Thank you.
If there are multiple apps trying to download at once, only one can download at a time and the rest say "Waiting" until it is then their turn. Try this. Double tap the icon of the Waiting app, and it should resume the download.
If that doesn't work:
• Log out of your iTunes store account. Go to Settings > Store > Sign Out Then press the Home button.
• Then press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously and don't release them when it brings up the Turn Off screen; keep holding them until the Apple logo appears.
• After restart, the Waiting should be gone.
Cheers, Tom -
I have Lion on my laptop and I want to back up my calendar TO my iphone. Not the reverse. iCloud only goes from iphone to iCloud to mac not the other way. Also, why doesn't "sync" mean update most recent changes across all devices? I thought that was the point of iCloud. Any suggestions since iCloud doesn't seem to work?
It's a work computer so I wanted to save them to my iTunes so I can access from another computer. Should I go to a home computer and just Import for best results? If so how do I do this? Also, why would I be synched with another library and how do I find out what this is? Very new/green user here

Hi I have this problem that my iPad 4 stops connecting to the wifi at around 9:30 every night
Hi I have this problem that my iPad 4 stops connecting to the wifi at around 9:30 every night but my iPhone 5 and Mac mini still connects to the same wifi network I have called apple support and they had no clue what the problem is, have tried changing the http settings to auto and resetting the network setting on the iPad but no luck so far would appreciate any help thanks josh
One possibility is that there is an allowed time period for access programmed into your WiFi router for the MAC address of your iPad.
What make, model, and version WiFi router do you have?
Another possibility is that you are getting some WiFi interference from a nearby WiFi network which is automatically turning on at 9:30 PM. A nearby home security system could be the culprit. -
New imac 27(Intel based,bought 2013) slow wifi connection with my Verizon fios actiontec router. All other wireless devices in the house(ipad 3gen,MacBook Air ,hp laptop) have a much faster connection. Should I change router settings to G only,switch channel from auto to maybe 6,channel width to 20mhz? Already changed security settings to WPA2. Currently router is running in mixed b and g mode.
If you have one computer running on G they will all run on G. All ROUTERS are backward compatible, in otherwords if you have a group of computers and all of them are N compatible and one or two are G They will all work but the N computers will run at N and those that are G will run at G speed not N.
It can get confusing but really it is simple. The newest is 802.11 AC and ic used with the newest Mac Computers made available in November 2013. So if you have the newest Airport Extreme that is 802.11ac and the newest computers that are AC compliant your speed will be 5 times faster than anything on the market right now. -
Hello,
I have an iPod touch 4 generation. I have a problem that my PC is broken and I later forgot my password. How can I restore the system without a PC. Because I have receipts from the rest because I POD andYou need a computer with iTunes installed to regain use of your iPod. Unless you have the iPod backup file from the syncing computer all you can do is to restore the iPod to factoery defaults/new iPod. You will also need to place the iPod in recovery mode is you restore the iPod on other than on its syncing computer. For reoverymode see:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
