Recently started having issues with WiFi

Hello everyone,
Recently I started having serious issues with Wifi. I fixed it kind of by turning off iTunes iCloud backup, but generally the signal is low. As an iOS 5 tester in the Apple Developer program, I tested it for months on my iPod without any problems. When I got my 4S, I never had a problem with it until just a few days ago.
A friend of mine said she was also having the same problem. She claimed she turned off iCloud backup as I did, turn off both WiFi on her Mac and on her phone and reboot both. I did this. Then I turned them back on. She also suggested I forget the network and re-enter the security key. That done, it connected and had a stronger signal. After a while though, it continues to drop peareoticly. I notice that it stay's connected a lot longer now. Another friend also suggested I turn off bluetooth, although that didn't really help much. What seems to fix it tempararly is iCloud backups have to go off.
The Mac is still working great. No stupid connection errors and or dropping. I'd be curious to see if I would be having this problem with my iPod Touch. Probably not.
Anyone find any deffinate solutions to this?
Thanks.

Thanks for the reply. What do you mean "2.4 GHz WiFi reliability is a hit or miss"?
Warranty is over so no problem there.
I see a lot of 7260 cards, is there one in specific I need? Example:

N would actually be fine, don't really need AC, recently upgraded my router and don't feel compelled to change...the price difference is small, and I'm all for future-proofing, but, I just need the thing to WORK.
Thanks again.

    After the recent update of iOS 7.0.6 my phone is having issues with wifi connectivity. It gets disconnected most of the time. I went through support page and done with "Reset Network settings" too but it doesn't help. It is very toublesome while watching videos, sending pics, chatting and so on. Please advise.
    It works fine in LTE network. The problem is with WIFI only.
    Thank you.

  • Hi All.  My iPad 4 just started having issues with the volume.  On either Bluetooth or the iPad Speaker, anything I'm watching or listening to drops the sound to just barely hearing it and then, about 2 seconds later, it comes back.

    Hi All,
    I tried to search through the community, but with the sheer volume of posts, I didn't find anything that seemed like the same issue.
    My iPad 4 just started having issues with the volume.  On either Bluetooth or the iPad Speaker, anything I'm watching or listening to drops the sound to just barely hearing it and then, about 2 seconds later, it comes back.
    I haven't tried wired ear phones, but I am sure they'll be the same way.
    It's very random, but consistent enough to happen several times per day.
    Thanks for any help that anyone can provide.
    I have restarted it and also did a Hard Reboot and it didn't help.
    Thanks Again,

    Well there you go, when you advertise it just be sure to say that you can't even see the scratches at half brightness and see how it goes.
    Of course you are saying you want $500 for one with many scratches on the screen, has been dropped, but the scratches aren't visible at half brightness, and has no warranty. Or I can buy a refurbished iPad 4 WiFi 32 GB directly from Apple with no scratches and a one year warranty for $499. http://store.apple.com/us/product/FD514LL/A/refurbished-ipad-with-retina-display -wi-fi-32gb-white-4th-generation
    Why would I buy yours?
    I wouldn't pay more than $300 for a used model with your specs in perfect condition. But yours is far from perfect. I think your high point is $250 which is why I said 50%.

  • Started having issues with camera raw. cannot access from bridge. Greyed out.

    Started having issues with accessing camera raw from bridge. I have CS6 and LR5. Should I attempt to uninstall CS6 and reinstall. I have backup on external hard drive for my photos but will I need to reimport photos after uninstall? Some of the forums are suggesting that my program might be corrupt. Can anyone assist?

    This should solve problem.  http://helpx.adobe.com/bridge/kb/acr-84-bridge-cs6-metadata.html

  • I'm having issues with wifi still on 7.0.4

    I was experiencing in and out connectivity issues when using my 4s (connecting to wifi, not connecting to wifi) and usually when I would reset the network or my phone the problem would resolve. Think of it as seeing a steady pulsing 3G then Wifi symbol where it's just not connecting.
    Now on 7.0.4 I'm stilling having issues and the restart of the phone (and restore) did not seem do have any effect.
    Any suggestions here? Been happening both at home, work, and connections to local places. I'm thinking it's the card in the phone that's just beat up due to typical iphone wear and tear.
    THanks!
    Phil

    i was having the same problem, after a trying all options that genuis bar recommeneded it still didn't work, but what worked was a DFU restore, which was actually recommeneded by a specialist at the Yorkdale apple store, i can't believe all the genuises i spoke to didn't recommend that the first time around after all else had failed... but DFU restore worked for me...
    good luck and hope it helped.
    Shout out to the Yorkdale (Toronto) Apple store specialists!

  • 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.

  • I installed OS Lion on my late 2009 Macbook and now I am having issues with WiFi.  When my computer goes to sleep my mac won't recognize my WiFi and I need to use the network assistant EVERYTIME to get on the internet.

    Very frustrated as my Macbook has been freezing a lot especially when streaming video online or sometimes just by being on a website with a lot of flash.  I've updated all my software and I have 4 gigs of ram.  I do have most of my 250 gig hard drive used up....coud this be an issue?

  • I updated my ipod 5 to ios 7 and now it having issues with wifi connection

    I updated my ipod 5 to ios 7 and now it keeps saying my wifi password is incorrect. Ive reset my network settings and it is still not working. any ideas?

    Does the iOS device connect to other networks?
    Does the iOS device see the network?
    Any error messages?
    Do other devices now connect?
    Did the iOS device connect before?
    Try the following to rule out a software problem:                 
    - 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.
    - Power off and then back on the router
    - Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    - iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    - Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
    - iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    - Restore from backup. See:
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

    you are experiencing a hardware failure.  You'll need to bring your phone in to Apple for replacement.

  • Having issues with my iphone 5 on wi-fi- does not automatically pick up wifi and doesnt remember passwords

    I just picked up my iphone 5 yesterday and I am having issues with wifi.
    When I tried wifi for the first time I selected my home network and entered in the password for the network and found out the following issues:
    1) if you turn off wifi or turn on airplane mode or off, and then turn on wifi again - the phone does not remember the network's password and I have to re-enter it evey time plus manually select it
    2) when wifi is on,  not automatically detected nor does it select my network on its own have to manually go in and select a network
    Help! Do I need to call Apple? Anyone else getting this?

    I just managed to figure out the problem here. What you have to do is manually add the network by selecting "Other..." and filling in the information instead of selecting the item from the list of networks.

  • Anyone else having issues with third party routers...

    Last week I started having issues with my Asus RT-N66U where certain wireless devices e.g. PS3, Xbox 360, Laptop, etc. have issues connecting to the internet (the PS3 reporting a DNS issue) even after I replaced it with a second rt-n66u.
    I then tried using the HH3 I got with BT and have none of these problems.
    Back on the Asus I tried a manual DNS (BTs 62.6.40.178 and 62.6.40.162) but these are having issues as well although strangely it will work fine if I use it purely as a wireless access point via the HH3 (With HH3's internal wifi disabled), right now I'm testing it again with Google's DNS but I want to know, is anyone else having any issues?

    Is your firmware up to date? http://support.asus.com/Download.aspx?SLanguage=en&m=RT-N66U+%28VER.B1%29&os=8

  • Hi everyone. I have just started having problems with iCal.  Events that I thought I had deleted are appearing on Print Preview and on print outs. Likewise Events which I have not deleted have disappeared from my calenders, but appear in print preview.

    Hi everybody. I have recently started having problems with iCal (Version 2.05 (1069). Events that I thought I had deleted appear in Print Preview and Print Outs. Likewise Events that I have not deleted have disappeared from my calender (Month View) but appear in Print Preview and Print Outs. I see that there have been similar problems with Events disappearing especially in Month View. I wondered how print preview seemrd to be picking everything up deleted or not, and what the solution may be?. First time of Posting. I hope I haven't embarassed myself.

    Hmmmm.
    At the very least there must be a "com.apple.ical.plist"...iCal would not function without it.
    Click on the Finder icon in the dock
    Click on Go > Home
    Double-click Library
    Double-click Preferences
    Look for a file called "com.apple.ical.plist" and remove it to the trash.

  • Macbook Pro Retina issues with Wifi Speeds

    I have one of the new Macbook Pro 15" Retina models and have been having issues with Wifi Speeds.  Apple has replaced the computer but have the same issue with the new one.  When doing a side-by-side comparison with older Macbook Pros and PC's I'm seeing around a 10 megabytes per second difference.  Is anyone else experiencing the same issue?

    So an update on what I've found.  After testing two different MBP Retna's basically hourly for 4 weeks I found a few interesting things, but ultimately resolved my issue.  The first thing I found consistently between both MBP Retina's both on my network and in the Apple store on their network was the first thunderbolt port closes to the screen is slower than if you try to use the LAN cable adapter on the second port. I saw about 10 GBps between the two ports.  The second thing i found was these new MBP Retina's aren't really compatible with older Apple networking technology. I have a single band Airport Express and a single band Time Capsule.  Using either router they only worked on the 2.4 5Ghz setting and even with that the speeds constantly fluxuated. Most times I got between 2 - 10 GBps.  After hours of troubleshooting it was recommended to update either my Time Capsule or Airport Express to one of the newer dual bands, which I did.  After purchasing and setting up a new dual band Airport Express and spliting the networks to have one band constantly on the 2.4 5Ghz setting and the other set to automatic both with differing network id's this solved my problem.  I now consistently see download speeds of around 35GBps and upload around 6GBps.  So connecting the dots and drawing logical conclusion, these new MBP Retinas are really only compatible with newer dual band Time Capsules or Airports.  Even though my single band was also set to 2.4 5Ghz, the same as the dedicated network used now on my dual band Airport Express, this MBP Retina had issues maintaining WiFi speeds.

  • I just recently up graded from AI CS6 to AI CC and I am having issues with my pen tool. If I create a starting point and then make another point it does not allow me to make the secnd point an end point. The pen tool stays active and I either have to clic

    I just recently up graded from AI CS6 to AI CC and I am having issues with my pen tool. If I create a starting point and then make another point it does not allow me to make the second point an end point. The pen tool stays active and I either have to click to isolate the path or I have to return to the first point and close the path. Please help.

    artisttouch,
    If you cannot close the Pen Tool by switching to another tool, as a temporary measure you may try pressing P (for Pen).
    To solve it, you may try the list.
    The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file (you may have tried/done some of them already); 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
    If possible/applicable, you should save curent artwork first, of course.
    1) Close down Illy and open again;
    2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to 3 times);
    3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
    4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
    5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
    Even more seriously, you may:
    6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

  • TS1702 Is anyone else having issues with the most recent Facebook update? I updated it yesterday and now it won't open. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the app, but it still fails to open! Any suggestions?

    Is anyone else having issues with the most recent Facebook app update? I updated it on my iPad 2 yesterday, now it will not open app at all. I have restarted iPad, uninstalled app and reinstalled, several times and still it will not work! Any suggestions? I have also closed the append still no results!

    I just started having this yesterday.  It's only happened twice, but it's annoying.  My wife texted me that she was coming home last night, and it showed up immediately on my iPod Touch but not my iPhone. I opened my iPhone and it soon updated.  Worked fine after that.  Then just a moment ago today my wife texted me and the same thing happened.  I heard my iMac and iPod Touch receive the message but it didn't display on my phone until I opened the phone and it showed up again a little bit thereafter.  I suppose I'll send Apple some feedback on this issue.
