Why do I have to keep Resetting Network Settings

Hi All,
Hopefully someone can help. Every time I need to access emails when I'm out this iPhone fails me. Today, I tried to access an email from a client which consisted of 2 words "That's fine". The wheel thing spun round, and round, and round, and round.... 6 minutes later it displayed "this has not been downloaded from the server".
I tried in vain to re-load but nothing. The only thing that seems to work is to "reset network settings".
This then means that my wifi settings at home now need re-inputting, as do the wi-fi settings at 3 of my other workplaces.
If I could, I would swap this for a Samsung or something. It's a constant source of frustration and embarrassment ( when I'm with clients)
I've had the **** thing replaced at the Apple store and I have phoned my mobile supplier t-mobile/EE ( don't get me started on them...) about 20 times and no-one can make this problem go away. I hate this iPhone.
Can anyone here help me?
Many thanks
Granger

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

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.

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.

Why do I have to keep resetting home sharing to work

Why do I have to keep turning off home sharing and then turning it back on to watch movies from my mac mini to my tv via apple tv? I just bought apple tv brand new from the apple store yesterday. My mac mini also has the latest update.

Hello jdebie,
Congratulations on your new Apple TV! I would be concerned too if I had to turn Home Sharing off and then back every time I wanted to use it. I found an article with steps that I think would help with this issue.
I recommend reviewing the full article below, but I think steps 4-7 are specifically useful for what you described:

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

Why do we have to keep restore our settings

Our Apple TV seems to keep losing it's settings. Every other time we use it we have to restore all the settings to use it.

You shouldn't need too.
I'd be tempted to try to restore it fully to shipping state with current software using itunes and a microUSB connection.

HT204053 Why do I have to keep resetting my password?

It seems that everyday I am being asked to reset my password. My husband uses it for his computer and his iPad. But he'll enter it correctly, and then the next day, his computer or iPad will ask him to enter the information and then it won't work.
Why does this keep happening?
Thanks.

Hello Sarah,
I saw your post about having to reset your router each time you print, or else the printer is not being seen on your network. I can understand the frustration!
I will gladly help you find a troubleshooting guide for this issue, however, I would like to please ask for you to respond to me with which printer you are working with, so I can find the information for you.

Why do I have to keep resetting my iPod classic 80gb?

Hi all
I received my black iPod classic 80GB yesterday (replacing one I had stolen, which until that point I had absolutely no problems with).
I am manually updating this iPod, so am importing albums to my MacBook iTunes and then connecting my iPod, adding the music, and ejecting then disconnecting my iPod.
If I then leave it for between half an hour / an hour (while importing another artist), the iPod does not respond to any key touches. I have to reset it before there is any life in it. Also, when I pressed play this morning to see if it was still happening, the first thing it did was show the Apple logo (as if it had just reset itself without my toggling hold or pressing down menu and centre for 6 seconds).
Why does this happen? Am I doing something wrong?
Please help. This is very annoying!
Chris

Hi Patrick,
I tried that last night, and unfortunately still had the same problem. I have now arranged to return the iPod in exchange for a replacement. Hopefully this was a one off! Thanks anyway.
I'd be interested to hear of any other advice in case it happens again when I receive my replacement!

Why do I have to keep resetting Mozilla to stop slowness and popups?

I have rest Mozilla several times lately, and things like unsolicited adobe flash update requests and betting sites keep popping up, plus the browser gets incredibly slow. Any ideas?

Did you download Firefox from the official Mozilla site? Sometimes if you search on Google or any search provider, they sometimes have "Advertised links" which are sometimes Firefox bundles that have been slightly modified/shipped with malicious software.
* https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/
If you did download from a different website and believe that to be the cause, you can report the link here:
* https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/about/legal/fraud-report/
Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer that you may not be aware of. First check your home page settings to make sure nothing was appended (if there is a | followed by another link, that tells Firefox to open another tab with that link):
* Tools (or [[Image: New Fx Menu]]) > Options > General
Also check your add-ons for any suspicious extensions:
* Tools (or [[Image: New Fx Menu]]) > Add-ons > Extensions
Check your list of install programs in Windows - Control Panel > Programs and Features. Usually malware comes bundled with other applications, so if you sort by date and see several applications installed at the same day, it may be easier to find suspicious applications that way.
You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software. A third party software could be modifying your Firefox preferences without your knowledge so hopefully scanning using one or two of these can eliminate any of the malicious files:
* [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free/ MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware]
* [http://general-changelog-team.fr/en/downloads/viewdownload/20-outils-de-xplode/2-adwcleaner AdwCleaner] (for more info, see this [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ alternate AdwCleaner download page])

Why do I have to keep resetting my password?

Just two weeks ago I had to reset my password for unknown reasons. Tonight, I get on my desktop and my messages app is up and telling to put in my password. I entered my password and it told me it was incorrect. After checking my email, I found a message that said I changed my password; I had not changed my password. At that point I did change it. I then logged onto my iCloud on the desktop without a problem. Next, I go to my iPhone to change the password on it, and it won't accept it. What is the deal? This has happened at least several times just within the last six months. It's really getting old. Of course Apple support is useless because it is out of 30 days or whatever cheap help they give.

Apple will never require you to change your password. However, if you have a corporate MS Exchange email account on the phone your IT administrator can require you to change your password.
Since you say your credit card information is gone also, it is likely that someone has hacked your account.

My iPod touch won't connect to wifi. Password is correct. Already reset network settings and restored ipod to original settings. Already updated iTunes and upgraded iPod to iOS 6.

A message keeps popping up when I try to join my network that says, "unable to join the network."
I have already reset network settings and restored ipod to original settings.
I already updated iTunes and upgraded iPod to iOS 6.
The password is correct. I even made sure by checking my wifi account.
I have completely restarted my internet connection multiple times.
I have also restarted my ipod multiple times
My wifi was working on my iPod yesterday before I reset all settings.
I updated it yesterday to iOS 5. Still didn't work.
It wasn't updated to the new iOS 6 until today so I don't think it has anything to do with the upgrade.
My camera started to be glitchy, so I reset my Ipod like I was advised in another discussion.
My internet wasn't connected anymore. My password wasn't working either, but the wifi connection was still showing.
Safari still wasn't working, though.
I did the sensible thing and I reset my network connection.
Now, the password isn't working and there's no wifi signal.
The camera is working well now, but the wifi is messed up. I didn't expect any of this to happen. The internet is all I use the iPod for. Now, the iPod is useless to me. Please help?

are other things still connecting to the wifi without a problem?
Have you tried resetting network settings, then unplugging modem and router from power for 40 seconds then plugging back in letting the lights stabilize and Then recconecting with the ipod>?
