Streaming in iOS6 disables wifi

Since iOS 6 "upgrade," my iPad (3rd gen) acknowledges and connects to wifi. I can surf the web, but if I try to stream anything, YouTube, Netflix, etc... It works for anywhere between thirty seconds and two minutes, but then the wifi shuts off. I have to go into the settings and turn the wifi off and on again and reconnect to my home network again for it to get back online. Worked fine before the upgrade, I know it has something to do with iOS6. Stop living in denial Cupertino!
And speaking of YouTube, no YouTube app for the iPad? How lame is that? I love how you put your customers in the middle of your disputes with other companies.

I found a solution!
This problem appears to be unique to the iPad 3.
The first step is the most important.
1. Make all Wifi devices "forget" network.
2. Change wifi encryption to TKIP ONLY. AES and auto will kick you off after a short time.
3. Save and reset router.
4. Reconnect all devices.
iPad will stop being disconnected after a flood of data.
If you talk to apple they'll tell you to to change encryption to AES. This is the opposite of what you should do.

Can I disable photo stream only on specific WIFI connection?

Hi,
I just purchased a mobile router with a data limit 50MB/day for my old iPhone 4.
This iPhone 4 only connects to WIFI network.
I like photo stream and want to keep using it with my unlimited family WIFI network, but, the problem is when I connect it to my mobile route through WIFI, the photo stream won't stop working. That cause my 50M/day plan runs out in a minute.
So, is there a way to disable photo stream only on specific WIFI connection?
I tried iPhone Configuration Utility and it seems not have a function like that.
Thanks in advance!

Welcome to the Apple Community Katie.
It is the purpose of photo stream to sync all photos to all devices, the only way to remove the photos from the computer without affecting other devices is to turn photo stream off.

When I create a photo stream in ios6, everyone who is logged in to my iCloud account can see and edit my stream (on their iPhones only). Not just the email addressees that I sent the photo stream link to. Is that how photo stream security is meant to work

When I create a photo stream in ios6, everyone who is logged in to my iCloud account can see and edit my stream (on their iPhones only). Not just the email addressees that I sent the photo stream link to. Is that how photo stream security is meant to work? Is so it means my whole family can see any photo stream I set up. Hence no security? Can't share the pics with the wife then :(

The whole idea to an icloud account is that one user uses it and has all their devices synced together. Different users need different Apple IDs to create their own icloud accounts. Note that everyone can still use the same ID for an iTunes account (to share purchases).

Ios6 with wifi problems

ios6 with wifi problems

I am just updated my iphone 4 to ios6 and on Sunday it took FIVE times to update. My phone kept freezing up on me. Finally, on the fifth try I was able to get it back. I lost everything on it. Last night I checked my wifi and noticed that it was not holding the wifi password in my own home. Without the ios6 it was fine! Everytime I want to use wifi I have to enter my password. This is extremely inconvenient. Today I checked my data usage with AT&T. I am on limited 200 mb data plan per month. Today is the first day of the month for my plan. So my data begins at zero again on the first day of the new month. I checked my data usage today, and I used 17.3 mb of data in 12 hours! Because I can not use wifi! I am in the fight of my life with Apple. I want them to fix the solution NOW or they send me a new phone....no charge. Those with problems like this should spend the time to fight with them too. They are crooks! Don't let them charge for phone support either. They will rip you off.

Hi there, I was just trying to help you and offer some staight forward advice on this issue
but it seems like Apple didn't like the truth that was being relayed and removed my post!
there are a number of threads on here about the issue, also do a general search and after reading for a few hours you will find out what I tried to relay to you before Apple unreasonably removed it
good luck!

Will my phone carrier be charged for streaming video on a wifi only ipad?

If you are using your phone as a hotspot for you to connect your iPad to for streaming then YOU will be charged for data... not your carrier.

How to disable wifi for MAC desktop?

This is probably a very simple process. I just need a little direction. Does anyone happen to know how to disable wifi on a MAC desktop when using an ethernet cable versus wifi?

EDIT: If the stuff below seems more complicated than you wish to be involved in, feel free to ignore it.
The Mac will send packets bound for the Internet to the Top-Most ACTIVE interface listed in the left side of the box at:
System Preferences > Network
If you set the 'Service Order' to have Ethernet at the top, whenever Ethernet is working, Wi-Fi will be ignored.
Set Service order is available using the gear Icon at the bottom of that box.
So all my Internet traffic is going over my Ethernet connection, even though Wi-Fi is still connected and nominally "active".

Auto disable WiFi and Bluetooth while on battery

Does anybody know of an application or if OS X Snow Leopard can auto disable wifi and bluetooth whilst I'm on battery, and then auto turn them on again when I'm plugged in to the outlet?

Perhaps this could be done with an AppleScript (you'd have to write it) but i do not know of any apps that can do this. It is not an option in the Mac OS anyway. If both the bluetooth and airport icons are shown in your menubar it's only 4 clicks to disable/enable them both though.

Where is iOS6's WiFi + Cellular option?

I had my iPhone 4S upgraded to iOS6 two days ago, right after the new OS was out.
One feature I really expected for iOS6 was WiFi + Cellular option, which allows the device to automatically switch to 3G when connected WiFi signal is weak.
However, I cannot find it nowhere. Settings → General → Cellular should show me the option according to blogs I read, but mine doesn't have a such option.
Is it up to carrier, just like FaceTime or WiFi Hotspot?
I live in South Korea, and my carrier is KT. Is this feature available among US residents for now?

This worked great in the beta, but got yanked in the final release. No idea why. I just hope it gets re-added in 6.0.1

Access Connections - disable WiFi on Wired Connect with docking station

Issue: Need to auto switch without user interaction from Wired to WiFi and back to Wired.
Example - User leaves desk/docking station with wired LAN to a meeting on WiFi then returns to their desk/dock. Laptop may hit sleep mode on these steps as well.
I'm moving from Dell to Lenovo and new to AC - so far no luck disabling WiFi on Wired connect. It's a breeze with Intel PROset + "adapter switching" and can be done manually with Dell Wifi drivers ("disable on Wired Connect"). I assumed Thinkvantage Access Conentions would actually be more robust than these. Should we just use PROset even though it doesn;t ship with the systems nor is a download for Lenovo T-Series? PROset method - http://www.intel.com/support/wireless/wlan/sb/CS-028815.htm
Working to achieve this as a managed policy for many computers. AC looks great but wish it had this setting like Intel PROset!!!

Hi Tpad-rex, welcome to the forums,
Please take a look at the profile settings in access connections. (Select the profile and choose edit profile). In the profile you should have two adapters showing; LAN and WLAN, make sure that the LAN is above the WLAN in the priority list. I'm guessing you have it the other way around, did you maybe set it up as a WLAN connection first??

Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) 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 (Auto or Channel 6 is best). 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.
Try This - Renew IP Address:
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Downloaded Update to iOS6 via wifi, now it says I have to connect to iTunes. Why?

I downloaded the update to iOS6 via wifi, now it says I have to connect to iTunes. Why? From all of the articles and blogs I have read it should have updated without a hitch.
Anyone else have this problem?

I'm not trying to be a smart A**. Is this a case of "misery loves company"? Will it make you feel better if someone else had issues? Do what you want to do.
Sometimes things happen when you update software. That is why you are always supposed to backup. Others have had issues - just look around.
