There is definately something wrong with iPads' wifi...hear us please Apple

Altough I am 30cm away from my wireless modem, iPad keeps dropping of from the connection. And when I'm away from the modem, say around 2 rooms away, iPads' signal strength dramatically drops....
Apple please find a solution to this wifi problem, which seems to effect everbody, I do not have to try this and that, fix myself...I paid for the device that is supposed to operate as promised....why bother with fixes found around the net while you can supply us with the proper one..

What kind of an answer is that...
For a user with a fault that cannot be resolved, it is the most reasonable answer possible. Not only because it can help the user resolve the problem to her or his satisfaction, but also because it helps Apple discover the nature and extent of common problems, such as the wifi issues being discussed here.
If enough people have an issue I am sure Apple will resolve it.
As long as Apple even know about the problems that is. Engineering teams may monitor these discussions, or have their attention drawn to specific topics, but even so, it is nothing like as helpful as having faulty devices to examine and test.
If Apple does not whatch these forums, why host them ...?
Despite your entirely rational thoughts on the subject, these are (almost) entirely user-to-user discussions, provided by Apple to help resolve issues users have with Apple hardware and software. Hosting these, and letting users loose to help each other is infinitely less expensive than providing an equivalent number of support staff on the other end of phone lines or in stores worldwide.
And as users, when faced by what seems to be a significant level of fault reports on one single issue, it does in fact make the greatest sense to recommend some users return their apparently faulty devices.

  • Just got an Ipad and am working on setting it up.  the one issue I am having with it is my screen will not rotate no matter what I do to the settings, I can't figure out if the settings are wrong or if there really is something wrong with my Ipad.

  • I have a Mid 2009 Macbook Pro 13 with no restore disk; it has OS 10.8.4 I believe there is something wrong with the OS due to I can not install flash player to view Youtube videos and the when we plug in a Bose headset the sound out will work sometimes

    I bough a used Macbook Pro mid 2009 that came with OS 10.8.9 it didn't have a backup restore disk with S/N W8******66D
    When trying to view some youtube videos; a window would pop up saying "it needs adobe flash player is required for video play back get the latest flash player" but after downloading the file and during installation would have errors and will not installed.....tried to reboot and install again.....but still the same.
    The othe thing I had noticed is when using a good Bose headset with mic the sound output would noticed the headset and then switch from headset to Internal speekers and headset.....thinking that there might be something wrong with the plug in port of the computer or the headset.....the headset works with no issues on my iPad so there must be something wrong with the computer.....tried to move the plugin around the port but no change....while the headset is plug in can hear a short clicking noise and the sound would get lost and back again......but with nothing plugin to the port there is no issue with the sound or mic.
    Thanks for your feed back......it looks like I have two different issues one is a software issue and the outher is a hardware issue
    <Edited By Host>

    The "restore disk" is built into the Mac. See About Recovery.
    Need more specifics about what error messages you got while installing Adobe Flash.
    However, you can almost avoid Flash altogether by setting YouTube to play the HTML5 version instead.
    Click the Try something new! link at the bottom of the YouTube page.
    I don't know about the sound issue. Might be hardware as you think. Try other headphones to check.

  • Is there something wrong with the IOS 6 update?

    Ever since I downloaded the iTunes IOS 6 update on my 2nd-gen iPad, I haven't been able to check my list of purchased apps in the purchased section the iTunes store app. I tried logging out & signing back in and I tried rebooting my iPad, but neither of them worked. Can you please fix the IOS update? Thanks if you and keep up the incredible work!

    Never mind, there's definitely something wrong with the IOS 6 update. Sometimes the App Store doesn't show that an app has been purchased & it only shows the price of the app. Other times, it doesn't show that an app is currently being downloaded or that it's installed.
    Still though, Apple, you really do need to fix this IOS 6 because the Purchased Apps section won't finish loading & display the ones that have been purchased. Also, you need to improve the App & iTunes gift card payment method because if you use a credit card & then switch back to gift card, it doesn't remember how much leftover money you had before & you can't combine the change from the previously-used ones together into one lump of money.
    32 cents isn't enough to buy anything, not even a $0.99 app. The money is going by without being used and its a waste of money! If it's possible, please fix these two problems. Thanks if you do & keep up the incredible work!!!!!

  • Could there be something wrong with my 4S dock connector?

    So a while ago my iPhone's usb cord stopped working, so I bought a new one of the same type. Then that one broke, but I found out it still charged when I plugged my iPhone in, although the lightning icon that appears next to my battery onscreen didn't appear and it charges extremely slowly (like maybe 20% an hour, 25% at best, and around 10% at its slowest - and this is when my phone is off.) One of my relatives found out the wires inside the usb cord were messed up or something, and something of the usb cord wasn't tight enough so if the cord got pulled too hard it would get mess up the cord's wires again and stop charging my phone. Even then, it still didn't charge like the way it did when I first got it (icon next to onscreen battery, quickly, etc.)  Soon enough, the cord stopped working again and I got so tired with it I just decided to buy a whole different type one. Here is the link to it: https://www.opensky.com/3d-luxe/product/iphone-4-4s-cable-usb-charger-sync-cord- 10-feet-new-steel-design-strongest-cable-on-market
    This time, the icon still doesn't appear, although it does charge fairly faster than my broken ones last time (it charges about 22% in half an hour now when my phone's off). Then I tried plugging the cord into my laptop, but the usual iTunes did not appear, and my laptop notified me that the device was not working properly, and if I plugged it back in again and it still doesn't work then there may be something wrong with my device. Now I'm really confused because this cord is brand new, so how could it not work? I'm certain my laptop is working perfectly fine, so the only two possibilities that I can think of now is either the dock connector is not working for some reason, or the usb cord is not working. I really doubt the usb cord is not working, I can't think of any reason why it wouldn't.
    Please help me on this. I've only had an iPhone for 3 months and it's already having so many problems.

    If you have only had the phone (from brand new) for 3 months, it is covered by the 1 year limited warranty.  You should make an appointment at a genius bar to have the device examined.
    -Regarding third party cables - they do not always work.

  • Is something wrong with my headphone jack?

    Okay, I was using the stock headphones fine but then the sound only came to the left headphone unless I twisted the headphones around a lot. Same thing happened in my car, I had to move around the cable a lot to get sound to both of my speakers. At first I thought this was just a coincidence and everything I bought was crap. I got a new set of headphones last night thinking it would solve my problem (at least for the headphones) but nothing has changed. Sound only goes to the left ear unless I twist around the headphone cable and connecter-thing.
    Is something wrong with my iPod? I would send it back but I got it free from RadioShack with no receipt so I can't actually prove that I bought it...any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    Sounds like there is definitely something wrong with the headphone jack on your iPod. From your tale, it sounds like the head phone jack may be bent inside resulting in a poor connection when you plug your head phones in. The only thing I can suggest with this problem is to see Apple about it.
    But before you jump to this conclusion, maybe there is some dust in your headphone port on the iPod resulting in a poor connection, to see if this is the problem, take a small piece of paper towel and roll it up really small and gently swab the inside of the headphone jack with it removing any foreign material that could be inside. Hope this works.

  • My wifi suddenly wont work on my i4s. i already reset network, forget network, restart, and put it in the refrigerator (coz some people said maybe theres something wrong with the heat of wifi inside ). what should i do?

    my wifi suddenly wont work on my i4s. i already reset network, forget network, restart, and put it in the refrigerator (coz some people said maybe theres something wrong with the heat of wifi inside ). what should i do?
    but sometimes, it can read,but wont connect.
    sometimes it even wont read  the wifi .
    sometimes, when it can connect, the password already correct, but it didnt want to connect.
    it suddenly happened, without i changed the seeetinggs or else.
    i read every solutiuon on google., etc2, and tried the way, but it still wont work.
    anyone can help ? pleasee ;(

    This is a totally absurd suggestion, except that it worked for me with my iPad.  Forget the network, then when asked for the password, enter a wrong one.  Try again and enter the correct password.  Good luck.

    Try a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. When the screen goes blank power On again in the normal way.] It is absolutely/appsolutely safe!

  • My ipod is cracked and it chipped away a little more last night and that's when my wifi stopped working. My wifi works on every other device in my house except for my ipod. Is there something wrong with my ipod?

    My ipod is cracked and it chipped away a little more last night and that's when my wifi stopped working. My wifi works on every other device in my house except for my ipod. Is there something wrong with my ipod?

    Does the iOS device connect to other networks?
    Does the iOS device see the network?
    Any error messages?
    Try right next to the router
    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 your 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 and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

    Could it be this?
    iOS: Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim
    One user reported that placing the iPod in the freezer fixed the problem. A trick that works frequently with iPhones:
    Settings > AirPlane Mode ON, Do Not Disturb ON
    Power down and wait 5-10 minutes
    Power up
    Settings > AirPlane Mode OFF, Do Not Disturb OFF
    If not successful, an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is usually in order.

    I am trying to download Tap Tap Revenge on my new Ipad air..however..i searched for it in the App Store but there are none...help please..i really love this game! Is there something wrong with my App Store or my ipad??

    It looks like the app is not currently in the App Store, I can't find it in the UK nor US stores.
    If you had previously downloaded it then do you have a copy on your computer's iTunes so that you can sync it to your iPad ?

  • My iPad mini keeps freezing up is there something wrong with the iPad do I need to get it fix?

    MMy iPad mini keeps freezing up on me. Is there something wrong with the iPad? It freez a lot when I'm playing the big fish casino game. What can be done to fix this?

    Hello there Lsu70,
    If your app is rendering the iPad unresponsive, I would recommend you use the troubleshooting in this article to help get that resolved, named:
    iOS: An app you installed unexpectedly quits, stops responding, or won’t open
    Start with these steps, but there are additional things to do if these do not resolve the issue:
    Follow the steps below and test the app after each step.Restart the app
    Close the app and open it again.Restart your device
    Turn the device off and on.Update your device software and your apps
    Update your device to the latest version of iOS.
    Update your apps:
    Open the App Store and tap Updates.
    If updates are available, tap Update All.
    If asked, enter your Apple ID password. The updates will download and install.
    You might need a Wi-Fi connection to update some apps.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the very best,
    Sterling

  • Is there something wrong with my battery?

    Hi everyone! I have an Iphone 5 that was newly "remodeled" for tmobile. I was wondering if there was something wrong with my battery after a recent decline in performance. I am updated to the latest iOS and I recently restored all of my settings on my phone in an attempt to increase battery performance, leaving only wifi on location for weather. With my current usage and standby, do I have something to be concerned about? I know some individuals that have my usage and will have a standby time of over a day. Advice and opinions is very much appreciated.

    Usage and Standby the same means that there is an app on your phone that is running continuously. Usually its an app choking on bad data, or trying to send and failing. There are a few troubleshooting steps you can try:
    Mail is a common culprit, especially if you have a Microsoft Exchange email account. If you do, go to Settings/mail,contacts,calendar, tap on the Exchange account, and turn off the switches. Then back out of settings and restart the phone (hold HOME and SLEEP until an Apple logo appears). Then turn the switches back on. This clears the mail, contacts and calender queues. It will take a while to resync content, so don't check battery condition until the resync is finished. And its best to do this with a WiFi connection as a lot of data may go by.
    If that doesn't fix it do the same with your iCloud account, and any other Push accounts you may have (Yahoo, gmail, hotmail, AOL).
    Next, look for apps that run in background (most of the apps in the Quick Launch ribbon do not run in background, but a few do - music and video streaming apps, Facebook, Twitter, Yahoo Messenger, Whatsapp, etc). Kill them in the quick launch ribbon by pressing HOME twice to display it, then hold your finger on any app until they all wriggle, then tap the "-" on each one. It won't do any harm to kill them all.
    Note that if you have Google Maps installed and you asked it for directions it won't stop tracking you until you actually kill it in the Quick Launch ribbon.
    good luck and report back!
    BTW, you will see a lot of posts blaming some specific version, now 6.1.4 (because it's the newest). But you will see just as many reports for 6.1.3, 6.1.2, ...5.1,...4.1...3.0, etc. It's nothing wrong with the version (except for 2.1, which had a real bug), it seems to be caused for some people by the upgrade process itself. But there are also many people who encounter this symptom far away in time from any upgrade.

  • Safari tries repeatedly to open a page. The page partially opens but then Safari reports that there's something wrong with page and I get an error message. This is happening at too many web sites for one site to be having issues.

    Safari tries repeatedly to open a page. The page partially opens but then Safari reports that there's something wrong with page and I get an error message. This is happening at too many web sites for one site to be having issues.

    I have a similar problem, Safari cannot load a complet page. It stalls e.g. ["38 of 42"]. sometimes it will complete loading after a long wait. just as often it will never complete the page,
    The same thing happens in chrome and firefox but safari on my iPad works just fine.
    I have the latest version of everything
    I assume there is a system problem but cleaning up permissions does not help
