Serious and annoying WiFi problems.

Well, it all started when i had to recover my iTouch 2G with Recovery Mode.
Till the recovery, the iPod worked just fine. It connected the WiFi without any problems, totally smooth.
Now, there are a few weird things:
*A. When im connecting to the network, it says it succeeded, and i even see the wifi signals at the top, but when im entering Safari, the background turns gray and there is a "loading" message saying "Connecting" and stays like this forever.*
B. It worx with other networks, _but it worked with this network before_, so i cant find a reason it wont now.
C. It takes around 6~10 seconds to connect, when usually it took 3 or less.
D. After it connects, it takes around 30 seconds till you can see the 3-wifi-bars.
I Tried to:
A. Hard reset
B. Upgrade and downgrade my firmware
C. Reset the network settings
D. "Forget this network"
Nothing Worked
Thx in advance,
Ben.

No guarantee, but there's a chance you may need to upgrade the iTunes software, which is revised every month or so. Good chance it's this.
The rare times that's happened to me, I unplugged the router (should you have one), restarted the router, and things returned to normal. This latter suggestion may not apply to you.

    Email and big wifi problems.
    Why does it take 6 minutes to send a photo attachment when my iphone 4 will do it in 30 to 40 seconds ?
    Why will my email account be recognised and log on only half the time?
    Why does the wifi keep dropping out?

    All settings in my phone have been reset twice as per advice from vodapone

    Thanks very much, jjgraphics. I will grit my teeth and try India once more, as you suggest, and then get in touch with the moderators.

  • 10.6.8 and Lion wifi problem

    hello,
    I am trying to use my mac for one week...... ;(
    everything was fine until update to 10.6.8... wifi problem as many of you already know. tried to update to lion, same problem. Got back to 10.6 and then update to 10.6.8 using software update... then formatted again, fresh install 10.6 update to 10.6.8 using combo update, same problem.
    tried to delete firewall file, turned off ipv6, changed security of my router from wpa2 to wpa, tried different channels, reset SMC and RAM, all the solutions we can research... all the same
    now I am on 10.6.7 and seems i still has the problem happening....
    hello apple, more than a month and no solution yet????
    I've read somewhere a new procedure that consists in update to 10.6.8 and before restart do some procedures.... but I can't find it anymore, any help?
    I guess that solution is the only one remaining I did not try yet.
    thanks and regards,
    raul

    well, it's caused by software only, there is nothing wrong with airport hardware
    hard to believe, it's like windows old time sake, loosing precious days fighting with a computer...

  • Airport signal blinking and others WIFI problems

    I have a serious problem with my MacBook Pro. The WIFI signal is pretty weak compared to my old iBook or PowerMac G5, and sometimes, the Airport signal is lost and the Airport signal goes from 5 bars to 0, like a blinking.
    I have this message in the Console " Feb 2 21:57:27 ordinateur-de- /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Apple80211.framework/Resources/airport: Error: WirelessAssociate2() = 88001006 for network Airport. The operation timed out. "
    I have no problem with the iBook or the PM G5 on the same WIFI network.
    What can I do ?

    if you are having a reception issue, you may be having some sort of environmental interference.
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=58543
    also, you can organize your network ports to have airport as your primary. this may help
    open system preferences > network
    - change the Show: to network port configuration
    - drag airport to the top of the list
    - click apply now , in bottom right
    - restart
    hope this helps

  • FritzBox 7360 and AE wifi problems

    I have an Airport Extreme connected to the LAN1 port of my FritzBox because I want to use the wifi signal of the AE. I have configured the AE in bridge mode. Yet, I do experience problems with the WiFi signal. Although my devices such as my iPad or MacBook say there is wifi, if often takes several minutes before I get connected to the internet. There seems to be some sort of delay. I have tried a lot of things, but the issue is not solved. Does anyone know the solution? Thanks

    here is/might be the solution:
    After hours of discussing the problem with at least 10 Helpdesk-employees etc. a depressed technician came up with the solution;
    Switch Annex-A to Annex-B.
    That simple.
    You will lose your very fast Internet connection for the time being and return to ADSL, but everything will work fine.
    Go to your Fritz!box in your browser
    In Fritzbox go to Internet
    From Internet go to DSL information
    In DSL information go to the tap: line settings.
    On this page you will find Annex B and Annex B.  In case the Annex A is selected, you should switch to Annex B and confirm. You will have to do this twice before it really takes it. Then your Fritzbox will reset and this will take some time. You will see the green lights on the machine flicker on and out. When steady again you might have a steady internet-connection again, as well. It will be an ADSL connection.
    It worked for a whole week with me. Than there was trouble again. I found out that Fritzie had reset himself to Annex A again. I put him back in his place, being Annex B.
    I hope this will be helpful, because I know the agony of talking with many professional help desk advisors and getting nowhere.
    I am on a macbook pro 10.5.8 and some higher Mac-OS machines.
    Good luck!

  • IPad mini with retina still having wifi problems with iOS 8.0.2 - slow or none. Resetting temporarily fixes problem it very annoying. Please fix Apple! Not up to scratch.

    iPad mini with retina still having wifi problems with iOS 8.0.2 - slow or none. Resetting temporarily fixes problem it very annoying. Please fix Apple! Not up to scratch.

    I Have followed these steps, and tried others, such as resetting all my network settings. At best these only temporarily fix the problem - wifi still becomes slow or stops. I have other Apple devices connecting fine to my airport express. why is my iPad mini not working? Is it related to the fact it is 3G and I don't have a sim card installed? It is the current top of the range model with iOS 8.0.2. I paid over the odds for the best, and it is almost completely redundant.  Apple - I'm losing faith. You need to keep the public better informed and fix this problem fast, otherwise I will leave you for good.

  • Wifi problems ipad 3rd and Time capsule 4th generation since iOS 8 upgrade

  • I have an ipad mini 1st gen 64 gb (wifi only) and i have problem with some of my apps. These apps have lags when you play with them for a few seconds the apps are having lags are call of duty strike team, gta San Andreas and nfs most wanted.pleas help me

    I'm going to guess videos buffer for a while also...
    Two possibilities, one is you should close apps on the iPad, the other is your internet speed is not able to handle the demands of a high speed device.
    To close apps:   Double click home button, swipe up to close the apps.
    To solve internet problem, contact your provider.   Basic internet is not enough for video games and movies.   Your router may be old and slow.

  • I have a serious (and bizarre!) issue with my novation impulse (Although i've tried it with two other keyboards and i still have the same problem) and its compatibility with mainstage 3

    i have a serious (and bizarre!) issue with my novation impulse (Although i've tried it with two other keyboards and i still have the same problem) and its compatibility with mainstage 3.
    the problem is best explained on the following one - page thread: 
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3951518?start=0&tstart=0
    (Clearly i'm not alone in this problem, although i think i figured out what's going wrong a little more than he did...read on!)
    his solution, to put mainstage in jump mode, is very unsatisfactory to me, as it bounces all of a sudden to drastically different settings.
    basically, my analysis is that my controller is NOT receiving MIDI date from mainstage.  in other words, mainstage knows what my controller is doing, but my controller doens't know what mainstage is doing.
     let's say i turn the knob all the way to the right ... 127...and the virtual fader goes to the right like it's supposed to. 
    now...next...let's say i change to a different patch, where that same VIRTUAL fader is not at the max clockwise position..maybe it's only at 1pm.  now when i turn the physical knob to the RIGHT, the midi data is still at 127 on the controller!  it didn't "reset" to sync up with the new level (say 80 or so) setting on the new patch.  so i can't increase that new setting of 80 by continuing to turn the knob to the right.  i have to turn it all the way to zero,...and then continue PAST zero until the controller thinks that IT is at 0...at that point the controller and mainstage are in agreement, and things work fine....so bascially, the keyboard thinks the level is at max...but mainstage thinks the level is at 1pm.
    i am using Logic 9, and i have a macbook pro 2.9 Ghz I7 with 8 gigs of memory and OS X 10.8.4

  • My Iphone/ Ipod touch 4th gen WiFi problems and solution

    Just wanted to let people know the problems that I had with my 4th gen Ipod touch and Iphone 4 WiFi connections (and my solution).
    I was having consistent problems with my WiFi connection at home - my devices were connecting fine to the router and apparently the signal was full strength; however, nothing was working properly (internet, itunes, app store). To be specific the devices would work for 5-10 minutes but then the connection would start to falter. My other wireless devices were working fine (HTC Hero, laptops etc.) - just the ipod and iphone seemed to suffer from this signal problem (although the router was always apparently connected).
    Obviously, I read countless forums to try and diagnose the problem. There seemed to be a litany of possible causes and I tried the following to resolve the issue:
    - updated router (Netgear WGR614 v6) firmware
    - rotated wireless encryption (WEP/WAP/nothing)
    - changed router channel
    - reset router power
    - reset network settings on Apple devices
    - changed g and b settings on router
    Nothing seemed to work so I began to question the hardware i.e. the router (which I knew was working from my other devices) and the iphone/ipod.
    I tested my iphone and ipod on other wireless networks (McDonalds in the UK has free WiFi) and found that, in contrast, they worked fine on other networks. I had read a few posts from people saying that my router was perhaps too old. So as a last resort I bought myself a new router (Netgear WNR2000 v2). I was loathe to do this earlier in case it didn't work, since reasonable spec routers are £50
    Anyway it worked ... straight away. I have tested the new connection at home using this SpeedTest app. D/load = 9.01 Mbps, U/load = 0.46 Mbps, Ping 65ms. The router is using the full encryption (WAP2 something ...) and N connection.
    As you can probably tell I'm no WiFi expert - I just wanted to post this in case people are having similar issues with older routers. I wasn't able to find any definitive advice and solutions from other users so I though I'd contribute here, which I guess is the first port of call for new Apple users, like me
    I bought the new router 10 days ago and have been enjoying my full speed connection ever since - touch wood. Hope this helps.

    Sounds like an intermittent contact problem some where eon the logic board. Hard to trace down and fix

  • 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 Sout

    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$

  • IPad mini retina. After upgrade to iOS 8 and after to 8.0.2 I can't use my iPad because of wifi problem!

    After upgrade to iOS 8 and after to 8.0.2 I can't use my iPad because of wifi problem

    I am having a similar experience.  Since upgrading my Ipad 2 to iOS 8 and then iOS 8.0.2 I have not been able to use wifi consistently and it is very frustrating.  I can no longer watch any video because the wifi shuts down and won't come back without a complete reboot of the iPad. And forget about consistent bluetooth!  My ipad worked perfect before the "upgrade" to iOS 8 and beyond but now it is really worthless.  I have spent a lot of time and have tried every fix that I have read about online and NOTHING has corrected the problems created by the upgrade.  After spending a lot of time trying to resolve this I am certain the problem is the buggy "upgrade" but I feel like no one at Apple is listening.  I have always loved Apple products but this rotten Apple experience is making me think about exploring what else is out there.  Apple folks, I recommend getting this fixed quick or your stockholders won't be smiling!

    Computer iMac7,1 has been giving sundry problems for sometime. Within the last six weeks I have reinstalled the OS (Snow Leopard),without affecting the overall contents of the hard drive.
    ±3 weeks later the problems became more serious and I againreinstalled the OS and installed OS 6.6.7 from the internet.
    I used the option to restore from the external backup driveand went back some time as it was my intention to reinstall individualcomponent in an attempt to find out where the problem might lie. This hasintroduced an entirely new problem! If I open Time Machine from the desktop itappears that all backups from late 2009 to June 2011 are intact. But, in thiscase there are none of the restore functions &c on screen. The latter areonly shown if Time Machine is opened from the menu bar or from the dock but, inthis case, available are only backups in late 2009!
    I also opened the Apple Hardware Test in an attempt toestablish the nature of the problem. The ‘quick’ version said there’s nothingwrong; the more detailed one reported “Error detected, 4HD/11/40000004.” I haveagain tried to employ this test but nothing I do can induce it to open!!!
    What to do? I need help urgently and would appreciate anyadvice that offers solutions to the problem.

    To check your S.M.A.R.T status open disk utility and click on your drive and then click on the info icon.

  • We bought an iphone 4s for our daughter. We transfered it to straight talk. She can make calls and text no problem. She can use the WiFi but is unable to use the internet or mms. How do we update the APN?

    We bought an iphone 4s for our daughter. We transfered it to straight talk. She can make calls and text no problem. She can use the WiFi but is unable to use the internet or mms. How do we update the APN?

    To clarify for anyone who is still having any problems doing this.
    1. Unlock your phone with the carrier ( I know the process will work if it is jail broken but I am assuming you dont want to void the warranty on your phone) NOTE: even if you purchased the phone outright at Wal-Mart it is still locked to ATT so you will have to unlock the phone.  If it's already unlocked skip to step 2.  This works and will work even if you update the phone. 
    1a Here is the link to unlock a ATT iphone. Simply follow the instructions https://www.att.com/deviceunlock/client/en_US/
    2. Get a T- mobile SIM. Even if you don't want the service, if you feign interest, they will send you one for free or 99cents. If you need it now you can get one at a T-mobile store too.
    3. Once you have both your Straight talk SIM and your T-mobile SIM follow these instructions:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mFFf5uqk18M
    4. If you have any remaining questions look at all the responses posted previously on this thread or check out the Howard Forums Wiki: http://wiki.howardforums.com/index.php/Straight_Talk_iPhone
    Everything should work flawlessly at this point.  If not let me know and I'm happy to help when I can.  I hope this makes doing this very easy for everyone in the future. God Bless -J
