SOLuTION to the NO WIFI Issue

Hello everyone!
I too have not had a reliable wifi connection since the 2.0.2 update.
While like most of you, I have been relying on apple to provide a solution in the 2.1 update. I was disappointed.
Now it works "perfectly"...
Shut down the iPhone.
take out the sim card.
Boot up the iphone.
and there you go, the wifi works perfectly...

...until!!!!...
you switch on the MAPS application!!!
the GPS then messes something up.
after that you an regain the "semi-functional" Wifi by resetting the network settings.
You can even put the sim-card in and the wifi will keep working...
Just don't start MAPS!

Possible solution to ipad 3 wifi issue

This has worked for me, so hopefully it will help some of the other ipad 3 users who are experiencing wifi issues.
I have an Ipad 3 32G wifi only model. It was shipped to me on 3/16. I had wifi problems similar to many posters here. Namely, the wifi disconnects and reconnects once every few minutes. It is independent of the range between my ipad and my router (i.e. it happens when the ipad is within 1 foot of the router or 100 feet).
I tried the whole reset wireless network process and that did not work...
What did work was an update to my router's firmware. I have a netgear n600 rounter and updating the firmware immediately solved the disconnect problem. I also borrowed my dad's ipad 2 and tested the wifi signal strength between his ipad 2 and my ipad 3 as a function of distance. The two devices signals were comparable at various distances from the router.
of course, in places with public wireless, it is doubtful that these routers' firmware are diligently updated, so wifi problems will likely persist in public areas. But at least you can solve the problem in your home where you have control over your router :-)
hope this help.

Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

In the latest Lion update, has the dropping WiFi issue really truly been totally fixed?

Anyone still seeing the wifi dropping off, out of the blue, for no reason, issue as was the haunting problem in previous Lion releases?
For those that had the dropping off issue (and there were many).
Did this last Lion release/update really really absolutely totally fix the issue for everyone?
Totally? Completely? Honestly?

I have updated two machines directly to 10.7.2 and have had no issues with either machine.
Are you sure these problems are not as a result of the wireless router used rather than a Lion problem?
I have seen many wireless faults in the past caused by the routers which have been fixed by updating the router firmware.
Maybe those who are posting wireless problems need to also state the make and model of router they are using to see if a pattern emerges?

Here's a Temp Solution to the iOS6 WiFi Crisis

Hello fellow Apple users.
I updated to iOS 6 on my iPad 3 4G/64GB and like most of you, found the annoying pop-up Apple can't find page thing and that it wouldn't stay connected to my WiFi.
I tried the solutions given around this forum (clear cache/cookies & reboot) but that didn't work for me.
What has worked for me is connecting to my 2.4GHz network. I have a dual-band router, and as such, it sort of has two networks, and I always connect to the 5GHz network, since it's faster. Since this wasn't working, I tried connecting to the 2.4GHz network and it's not having any issues at the moment. No pop-ups and no disconnects.
Hopefully this works for at least some of you. Also, it's not a solution, iOS 6.0.1 or something is, because this is unacceptable. With the betas and all that, why is this even happening?

Hi,
You could also try resetting your airport express.

Anyone found a solution to the corrupt preferences issue: CS4?

Soooo, annoying. I don't understand how Adobe can have 20+ years of experience with Illustrator and still not have fixed a few simple things. I keep getting the corrupt preferences warning every time i open ill. I can't find any solutions anywhere for this. What is the deal?
If anyone can let me know how I can take care of this annoyance I would really appreciate it. It's driving me crazy.

Sorry, ya. Silly me.
Windows XP Pro. Running as admin.
I've deleted the settings folder. No effect. If I reboot Ill will present the same warning. If I close Illustrator for a couple hours, same thing. It's a common problem. I've seen plenty of people on the web complaining about it, including on this forum, but have never found any solutions that work. The common suggestion is to either move the settings folder or delete it altogether and have illustrator rewrite the pref file but like most other people out there, that hasn't worked. The issue is recurring. The other is to delete the pref file upon illustrator start up. Still same issue. No matter what, when illustrator closes it corrupts the pref file or when it opens it doesn't recognize the pref file as valid. Quite annoying. So, my recent files don't show up, my keyboard shortcuts, gone, my scratch disk settings, units, all of that has to be redone everytime. My workspace is unaffected though. So really, it's just the pref file. It really is quite annoying. Any help from anyone would be greatly appreciated.

The dreaded wifi issue

its happened to me. updated to 2.01 and wireless just doesnt stay around. tried resets and everything else on all the other posts but nothing changes. arrgghh

sorry to hear you are going thru what many others have. Like you, I too tried everything in the forums but nothing worked....until just now quite by accident! I had basically given up on connecting to my home network. Thing is I had 3g turned off all this time after I had given up. I just turned on 3g and the wifi symbol appeared. I checked to see and the DNS was displayed together with my router address. Don't know if it will stay!
I have a Lynksys WRT54G. I'm not using MAC address filtering. WEP enabled.
Hope yours starts working allnof a sudden!

Still waiting for a solution to the option key issue and boot camp.

I posed a question about not being able to boot up into windows using the option key method during restart. I never found an answer to it. Also, I'm one of those folks who lacks audio in windows Vista.

There is no solution, it cannot be done. Yes they are all products made by Apple, but the Mac has a different operating system than the iPad and the iPhone. The iPad and the iPhone run iOS. The Mac runs OS X. Apps for iOS do not run on a Mac and apps for OS X do not run on iPads or iPhones. If a developer makes an app for both iOS and for OS X they are separate purchases.

Proposed Solutions to the Mandatory Data Issue

it is almost worth the price to leave i have 5 phones on verizon 2 will be going soon I am going to t mobile where there is no contract, shared unlimited data which slows after a limit but is still there unlimited talk text and data at a lower price than the current data for 2 phones only . we get a discount with verizon through my husbands work but still for what we want it is way less at t mobile than than verizon. verzson doesn't offer unlimited data. and what data they do offer is way higher. Im looking at big bucks to cancel all the phones so i will have to do them as they expire. the 2 year contract with cancelation fee is just a way to lock you in so you cant afford to leave. Lots of companies are doing no contract just research first

I am seriously considering leaving as well.. I just added a line to my existing plan and they are killing me with their prices. If only they would lower their prices maybe more people would stay with them. I am also researching T-Mobile. I like the idea that they have the Samsung Galaxy S4 way cheaper than any.
I was also grandfathered into the unlimited data and because I got a new phone because my black berry kicked the bucket.. they FAILED to tell me that I had 10 days to respond whether I wanted to keep my data or change it. They just simply said because I am getting a new phone.. that my data would HAVE to change. **! I know several people who were grandfathered into the data plan I had and they were able to keep it.

Why can't you simply put a solution to the exclamation point issue into the iTunes program and save a lot of grief for your customers??

Why can't the great computer iTunes gods simply add a program that solves the great Exclamation Point Bugaboo, making iTunes capable of finding all files and eliminating this massive annoyance and the misery it causes?? Why do we, the customer, have to do the boring drone work and find the **** files when the computer should be doing it??

This happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout, or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes .

IOS 8 WIFI ISSUES 5ghz airplay related! the real workaround here

Ever since upgrading to IOS 8, including IOS 8.01, 8.02 and 8.1 I had the wellknown Wifi issue. wifi speeds dropping from 120mbps to about 2mbps @ 5ghz in within a minute after connecting to the wifinetwork. often i couldn't even surf at all. but the wifi signal was always strong. With every update i was hoping for a solution from Apple but it never came. Tried everything that can be found on the internet. Resetting the network settings. Disabling "wifi networking" under Settings > Privacy > Location Services > System Services. Reinstalling my Ipad from scratch Used different routers and different setups. Automatic ip's and fixed ip's and different dns servers just to be sure. Nothing worked. The only workaround is switching to a 2.4Ghz network. So i was doing some tests and found THE solution, but i don't like it all. One of the biggest changes in IOS 8 is the ability to use airplay without a network. by using a wifi connection in combination with bluetooth. And here lies the problem. I disconnected al my Airplaydevices from my network. Denon AV-amplifier AVR2113, Pioneer wireless speaker XW SMA3 and an airport express. Et voila... My Ipad is back to normal. fast... no very fast internet connection and stable as ****. Just like iOS 7 was. Working with it for a couple of hours now without any trouble at all. But do i connect one Airplay device to the network the wifi is not stable anymore and extremely slow again on my ipad air. My Macbook running mac os x mavericks doesn't have these issues, neither does my iphone 5S. and they are also on the same 5ghz network. So I can create and recreate the issue and create a work around... Apple please come with a solution that makes me able to use airplay an ipad (on ios8) on a 5ghz network! like in iOS 7!!!!

I'm just going to throw something different into the mix. Could it just be that different Wi-Fi networks may use different ISPs and each ISP will have it's own configuration settings?
For example, if you have an iPhone on Cellular Network 1 and send an email, it'll use the SMTP server for that network. If you're using your home Wi-Fi you'll have the SMTP server for your ISP in your iPhone's settings, and that's what your iPhone will use when sending an email from home. But if you're accessing a different Wi-Fi network somewhere and it's using a different ISP, then it'll have a different SMTP server. So, sending an email for example won't work unless you turn off Wi-Fi and force your iPhone to use your Cellular Network instead (because it'll have the SMTP server for that network).
Now, the example above is specific to email, but I'm just trying to think outside the square a little compared to the other responses here.
Hope this helps you progress to a solution.
Joe.

Dear APPLE, What's Really GOING ON?!?!?! (wifi issues)

Dear appl
I'm in a WiFi trouble here!! actually Troubles with WiFi on my iPad
* my wifi connects on every wireless network fine BUT:
1- my wifi works in every network EXCEPT my MiFi Novatel It disconnects after 5 / 10 mins sometimes hour, I have to reset the password, and when I change the ipad handling and flip it in different angles it connects back !!!!
2- My iPad, even with the networks that doesnt disconnect, not like the my MiFi Novatel, sometimes like when I wait for pictures to load on website, they (the pics) get stuck a little bit and doesnt load UNTIL I FLIP THE IPAD , I change the handling, sometimes even websites dont open until I change the handling!!
I also Updated yesterday my iPad to 3.2.2 , and NO, It doesnt solve the problem!
What's going on here? Is there a technical issue ? or something like that ? and when I went to the iCity official store in my country, the supporter talked to me like I'm lying or I'm a (NOOB)! he says No no no it works fine ( he didnt even see the ipad, and I think he never heard of the iPad wifi issues at all that even Apple official web admitted ) and he says that my problem is with the settings of my MiFi, Well ok ! I hope so! But HELP? and BTW , I have tried changing the pass encryption to WEP WPA and all with my MiFi Novatel, didnt work !
I'm in alot of trouble, Spent more than 500$ over a Disconnecting constantly tablet and even with good wireless networks lets say my mifi ***** but other networks sometimes I have to flip it to load webs, hello, The iPad is AWWWWESOME! but I seriously cant take this ?????
Help !
1- mifi solutions ?
2- whats with the flip sometimes to get the connection Speeder / or get it back If I'm using the MiFi?

I had what sounds like a very similar issues and figured out fix.
On your router, try setting the encryption to wpa. There is an option for Auto that switches between AES and TKIP. Choose AES only.
Choose Forget on the iPad or iPhone (or both, depending on which you have). You will also find that you will have to delete the network on your home computer and other devices that access it as the new encryption settings won't match the new router settings. You will be prompted for the password. After weeks of grief, this managed to work for me. Hope it does for you too. I was about to do he discus toss with my iPad before I got here!

IOS 8.0.2 has not fixed the slow wifi bug on iPhone 5S

I have updated my iPhone 5S to iOS 8.0.2. The slow wifi issue has not yet been fixed......Even whatsapp messages take forever to get delivered. Apple/...please fix this

Same here.. My iphone 5s wifi does not working properl. It feels like sometime connected and sometime not, i have reseted the network setting, turned location service for wifi off and on. But there's nothing changed.
Battery and everything are just fine
Hope apple fix this soon because smartphone without connection is just not smart.

Another iPhone 5 wifi issue I guess.

I've seen the issue many are having not being able to connect to wifi, or connect and still getting no usage out if it. My issue is a little different. I can connect, but the range of my wifi is noticeably shorter for some reason. I'm getting less bars in the same locations of my house, and just dropping wifi in these locations where I never had any issue before. Also my iPhone 5 is significantly slower on on my wifi, versus my iPhone 4 on the same wifi. I'll include a video I put on YouTube to show how much. Downloading the same app, in the same place, on the same wifi... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lfmoHrzjCWU .... This is just 1 test. I did about 10 in total, 6 YouTube video races, and 4 app download races. My iPhone 4 won them all, most by a lanslide like in the video.
I've commented on the other wifi issue post. But I didn't really see anybody else reporting this kind of issue. I'm just wondering if anyone else is experiencing this or maybe you have a 4s or 4 and you can check yourself and let me know. Thanks :)

I think this is interesting because even if all the people who are having connection issues, do finally get connected to wifi. Are they then gonna have this issue? Maybe not even notice it, atleast for a little bit. Then it becomes super annoying!!
