Wifi issues due to IOS update 4.2.1

Recently I updated my ipod 3rd generation to IOS 4.2.1 and have encountered some wifi problems. Here's a disription of the problems my ipod is experiencing.
-when I connect to the internet it only stays connected for 2-3 minutes.
-my ipod no longer connects to the internet automatically and must be reconnected by turning the wifi off then turning it on again.
-connection is established to networks very slowly as well(regardless of the fact that I've been trying to connect 3 feet away from my router)
I'm sure the problem is the 4.2.1 update. I've turned my ipod on and off, reset network settings, and checked my router. Plus the problem didn't start until I installed the update to the ipod.
So does anyone here know how I can revert my ipod back to IOS 4.1 or something and I mean ANYTHING that will get my wifi working again. I would wait for a 4.3 update but I'll be out and about this christmas season and I would like to be able to have reliable wifi.

I have an Ipod touch 32 GB, it is a little over 1 year old. I've never had a problem with my Ipod's WiFi until I updated to 4.2.1. Now It will still connect but the distance from my router is GREATLY reduced. Even if I'm 1 foot away from the router my Ipod doesn't show full signal strength. Also when it is connected it drops a lot. Especially if I launch and APP. All the other wireless devices on my network all work fine and show the same signal strength they always have so I know it is not my setup. The problem lies with my Ipod and it started after the 4.2.1 Update. I've tried resetting the whole device. I've tried resetting the wireless settings. the Ipod still thinks it has a weak signal and drops a lot. Is there anything else to do, or anyway I can roll back the Ipod's OS 1 version to when it worked just fine?

IPhone 4 IOS update on home wifi never successfully completes.

I've never been able to successfully update my iPhone 4 on my home network since I first purchased it a couple of years back. I've asked at the Genius Bar on previous occasions but was offered no solution, was merely explained that there might a wifi issue. When I try update my iPhone goes into update screen with apple logo on top and a completion bar at the bottom. The completion gets to about 75% complete then that's it it doesn't go any further. Then I'm left without a useful phone cannot make phone calls cannot look up contacts cannot call apple for support ! Then the only option is to go into apple store to update on their computers. I've had to do this several times since I first purchased the phone, and was left with well, many questions, the main one being why ? Why does the process complete on apple store wifi but not at home ?
Quite unhelpful that I've never been offered an answer, hence I've never upgraded my iPhone to a new one.
It's very inconvenient as the first time it happened I was left without my only form of contact, I didn't have any phone numbers, and didn't have the time to fiddle around with phone updates, I merely tried updating as I thought it was a simple quick process. Instead it turned out to be. Very time consuming. A it must be to read this account of my experiences with my first iPhone, so ill end it here !
Would be nice to finally be offered a solution. It certainly would be more convenient as I don't update my iPhone 4 at because I know from past experience ill be left without a phone.
BTW a interesting interesting thing happened the other day, I did a backup of my phone, and by chance went into the broadway apple store and she I later walked out notice my iPhone had lost all contacts and apps and notes were not there it was like it got cleaned out!
It was ok before going into the apple store. Any ideas ?
Thanks guys

4. If I do clean my phone to recover space with itunes, or a restore will the IOS update I don't want be forced on me?
1. The only way to remove it is to install it.
2. No, because the only way to remove it is install.
3. The only way to recover the space is to install it.
4. If you restore, it will install the latest iOS, 7.0.4.

You need iTunes 10.0 or greater to update your phone...iTunes isn't confused at all. If you're on a Mac, you'll need OS X 10.5.8 or greater to update iTunes to 10.0 or greater.

New iTunes, syncing, and iOS update questions! Hot mess over here!

I'm in a quandary and need some help. Bare with me if I forgot details.
I moved all music to an external drive and a week later, it died.
I got a new laptop and downloaded iTunes 9.2
I've transfered all my purchased music and applications from the iPhone to my new iTunes.
_*I'm getting ready for the updates and have the following questions:*_
Some applications aren't showing up (ie. Project 365). Why would that be?
An error message pops up when I want to "sync" my applications. Since I transfered my purchases, do I ignore?
Do I need to sync my iPhone to my new iTunes before the iOS update?
If I ignore the warning messages, will the iOS update delete applications?
The iOS update has warnings. What will I lose?
I am currently running an (3 hour!)iPhone backup.
I swear I'm not that computer illiterate, but extraordinaryly cautious since losing everything.

If you did not backup prior to upgrading and the cancel button is showing, do that now. You should always backup before doing an upgrade. If it asks you to sync your apps then do that. Your backup during upgrade will take hours because itunes is sending all your data to Apple instead of just internally inside your computer.

Thinkpad T440p unstable wifi connection

I purchased a Thinkpad T440p during last Christmas. I always have unstable wifi connection. I have updated all the drivers, changed to different wifi enrionments, and restored my laptop to factory conditions. Still, it is very unstable. Anybody here can give out possible solutions? I know I am within the warranty period. But I am using laptop everyday, and don't want to ship it to Lenovo for a long-time fix.

Try this driver?

My wifi-internet is not stable, will it affect my iOS 8 update?

Hi,
Im updating my iphone5s but my wifi internet is not stable? will it affect the update? like system crash or something worse?
kindly please advise...
thanks,

Hi HARISH INDIA,
That is not good but lets see if we can get it back to life. If you can, see if you can put your iPhone into recovery mode and then use iTunes to restore it. If you can get it to restore, it will erase everything off your iPhone. If you have a back up in iTunes or iCloud then you can put that on after the restore is complete. Take a look at the article below for more information.

You are not addressing Apple here. If you have a problem, describe it and someone might be able to help. Just to be sure, the wi-fi on the phone will go off after the phone goes into sleep mode unless it is actively being used. This is a battery saving measure. If you are actively using the internet, and the phone is still awake, then the wi-fi should remain connected.
What troubleshooting steps have you tried.

The iPhone requires wi-fi to update if you try to update over the air, since the phone needs to reboot, thus disconnecting itself. You can update via iTunes and the computer, but you would not be able to tether to the phone for the internet connection, since the phone would disconnect. So, you can either update via wi-fi and the phone, or you can update with a computer that has an internet connection other than the phone.

I did not update my iPad 3 with the last update, will that affect me updating to IOS 6?

I did not update my iPad 3 with the last update, will that affect me updating to the new IOS 6? Will I get all the updates I missed in the previous update if I update to IOS 6. If not, tell me where to go to get the last update before I update to IOS 6. I thought I had time before this new one came out. Thanks for any help I get.

You can update directly to iOS 6 now. Not updating to iOS 5.1.1 does not matter. If you have updated the iPad before, you know what to do.

Iphone 4S will not connect to Wifi at any locations. Verizon told me it was a bug that come with the last iOS update. Help?

My daughter iPhone 4S cannot connect to Wifi at home or in public. I went to Verizon and they told me it was a bug from the last iOS update. Can someone validate this? Are there work arounds outside of upgrading the phone?

Hi DBraschler,
If you are having issues connecting to WiFi networks from your daughter's iPhone, you may find the following article helpful:

On the other hand, if the WiFi settings on the iPhone are completely greyed out or unresponsive, then this article may be more useful:

In the latest iOS updates, did Apple change the way Airplay communicate with other devices through Wifi?

Short :
In the latest iOS updates, did Apple change the way Airplay communicate with other devices through Wifi?
Detailed:
We had a glitch with our Apple TV 3A 3-4 weeks ago and had to factory reset it (we reconfigured it with the exact same configuration than before the crash), it's now running iOS 7.0.2, I can't saw which version it ran before the problem though.
It's used in a business environment with 30+ iPads 2, half of them are updated to 8.1.1 and the other half to 8.1.2. We use the latest iTunes version.
Before the glitch that required a reset, all the iPads were detecting and mirroring when needed to the Apple TV, but now the iPads don't see the Apple TV in their list of Airplay devices anymore (but they detect various other devices inside our network).
I have to add that our Apple TV is able to navigate the movie store correctly, so I assume that it's not an internet restriction issue from our end (also, the APple TV do not see either any of the many iPads on its device-detection screen.
We successfully connected an iPhone 5S and an iPhone 6 through P2P Airplay, so it's not the issue, but when we connected the iPhones to our Wifi network (Same as all the other devices are using) the Apple TV suddenly disappeared from the choices.
Hence the reason why I inquire to the possibility that some changes were made in one of the latest iOS revisions, if so, we would require some details so we can adjust our Wifi configuration accordingly to allow the proper detection of devices.
P.S. I tried the basic troubleshooting of Airplay problems with no avail. Airplay button is displaying on the control panel, Airplay do not show the Apple TV at all (so it's not either the trick to display the Mirroring button), we also already proceeded to the suggested devices reboots, so my issue is quite more complex I believe.
Thanks in advance.

I Have the same issue on a brand new iPad mini 2. My battery is only lasting up to 5 hours. I went on chat with Apple last night and they said my battery is fine and its a Safari issue. I'm literally losing 1% every 3-4 minutes. I tried recalibrating my battery, signing out of iCloud, shutting off all locations, turning off background app refresh, restoring network settings, restoring all, and finally restoring from iTunes with no luck. This is just awful. I got this iPad so I could use it on my long flight for a trip I have coming up, and unfortunately, it's not going to last that long, plus I'm concerned about how many times i will be recharging my battery because of this since battery's do have a life cycle dependent on the number of charges. This is frustrating and needs to be fixed ASAP and addressed by Apple.
By the way, Apple told me to bring my device to the Apple Store because it's still under warranty. That's great and all, but I'm going to waste my time if there is no fix for this issue.
Ok so you want Apple to address the problem, but yet you don't want to take it to them just in case they can't fix it? What if they can fix it? Complaining here certainly won't fix it.

Satellite P50-A-144: Intel WLAN driver update solves unstable WiFI

The notebook Toshiba Satellite P50-A-144:
The current Toshiba Download Driver version is the 16.5.1 (OEM Version) and is already installed on the notebook, and the current Intel Download Driver version is the 16.10.0 (generic Version).
*This new version solves the problem of unstable WiFi/WLAN Internet connection.*
Will Toshiba have available soon the OEM version updated to the 16.10.0?
Thank you.

Intel has released as of 06/26/2014 a new Driver Version 17.0.5.8 and
Toshiba up to 07/12/2014 still has not updated the corresponding Toshibas OEM Version,
either the previous Intels older Version 16.10.0.5 has not been updated by Toshiba.
It seems the Drivers update by Toshiba takes very very long time until they are ready to download on the Toshiba Support web page.
Unfortunatly, Intel does not recommend to install the generic Driver on Toshiba-OEM Systems, because they do not provide support in case of issues after installation, and suggest to get the Update directly from Toshiba, so there is no other chance, just to wait for the Update until Toshiba released the OEM-Version.
Are there other alternatives?
