Why does my iPhone 4s randomly disconnect with airplay?

I have tried using two different wireless routers but no luck. I have my Apple TV hardwired in to my router and when using an iPhone 4s on AirPlay it will randomly stall/disconnect. When this happens the airplay option usually goes away for a bit and then comes back. I have used it over a Motorola wifi with wireless g speeds, then I plugged it in to a wireless n Dlink network, and same issue. I've also tried more than one iPhone, relocated the modem so there is nothing but about 10 feet of air between the modem and the phone, and still have the issue. Interestingly enough, the iPad 2 does fine. Any ideas?

The multi task bar as you call it does not show apps that are running but rather shows recent apps that you have used.  These apps do not use bandwidth because they are not running. Check your notifications to see which apps might be sending information because they might be using data.  The native apps that came with the phone periodically use data and there is nothing that you can do about that

  • Why does my iphone 3gs not sync with contacts?

    why does my iphone 3gs not sync with contacts?  In fact it loses contacts during syncing.
    In Itunes it is set to automatically sync to the laptop and in info sync contacts is checked and all contacts are checked.

    On my Mac Pro, contacts and Thunderbird contacts are synced.  I want my Iphone to sync with the Contacts on the Mac Pro.  Incidently I am not using Icloud.  Is that the problem?

  • Why does my iphone 5c keep disconnecting when charging in my VW polo?

    I recently bought and iphone 5c, my car has an MDI port so i can play my music through the head unit and also charge the phone. this worked perfectly fine with my old iphone 4 and appears to work with my friends iphone 5's. When mine is plugged in it disconnects and reconnects every 25 seconds or so.
    I don't think it's the car or the wire itself as it seems to work fine with other iphones. Any ideas?

    I have the official VW iphone 5 adaptor. I have tried 3rd party 30pin to lightning adaptors to put on the end of my old iphone 4 mdi cable but they only charged the phone. they weren't compatable with audio.
    i've tried my friends iphone 5 in it today so i'm starting to think its the phone. but why would it work sometimes and act up other days?

  • Why does my iphone have duplicate songs with an icon?

    Recently I've noticed something on my iPhone.  Maybe it's been there all along, who knows.  But here's the deal: if I buy an album on iTunes for Mac, and sync my iPhone, the album on he phone looks bizarre:
    As you can see, there's a duplicate of each track, with a circle icon.  If I try and play this circle icon, it tells me I need to be connected to WiFi or something.
    Points of note:
    1. Under "Store" in the iPhone settings, I've turned off automatic downloads of everything.  I found that if this was enabled, my iPhone would download new music and would get a second copy sync'd by iTunes.  Fail for iTunes/iPhone recognising the same album I guess..?
    2. Every so often, my iPhone is now asking me for my Apple ID password - no special reason I can see,it just pops up and asks me.  This might be related.
    3. I haven't purchased/turned on iTunes Match anywhere (iCloud).
    I'm wondering if it's got spectacularly confused somewhere, if it thinks maybe it should be streaming this album from my Mac, or downloading it from the Store, even if it's already got a copy.
    How can I make it stop?  It's annoying in the extreme.  Sure, it's not as bad as not having food on the table, pretty much a first world problem,but not what I'd expect from the thing.  I'm happy to blow the device away and restart it as a fresh iPhone, not quite sure how to do that, but I'm open to all suggestions that might show how to fix the problem.
    Thanks

    i wondered the same thing.
    You have to go to the "Restrictions" page of your device's Settings and make sure "iTunes" is turned on. 
    This is why it only happened on my children's iPods and not on mine. 
    The reason a full restore works is that it resets all your passwords and allows everything automatically until you reset the restrictions again. 

  • Why does the iphone volume randomly gets turned off/down.

    Around 4-5 times a day I have noticed that the volume on my iPhone has been turned all the way down. Anyone have any suggestions what is doing it?

    well i just did two test videos.
    just like a while ago when I first encountered this issue.
    take a video with the volume buttons up = upside down when played in VLC
    take a video with the volume buttons down = normal.
    such a shame when they released the feature to use the volume button as a shutter button.
    this wouldn't be such a big deal if I could upload 1080p to YouTube from my phone. But NOOOO, but I have to first upload it to my computer, then upload it to YouTube, and thats where the problem comes to play.
    so whatever. ill just have to remember to take videos with the volume buttons down.

  • Why does my iphone 6 have problems with wifi no matter what network I am on?

    It doesnt matter what network I am connected to.  I will have connection issues or dropped signal strength.  My phones wifi strength will go from 433 Mb/s ac to 72 Mb/s n.  Yet on my ipad Air 2, iphone 5s, apple TV and mac mini there are no problems.  I have had this phone for less then 4 days and I had to return 2 other phones with the same problem.  I have reset it many times as told in some of the apple communities with the same problem.  Is it the phones iOS or what?  How do I fix this?

    Try going to Settings> General > reset> Reset Network Settings
    then reconnect to your wifi then  see if the issue persists, if it does, make sure you are testing this on other wifi networks, if the issue persists, call into applecare and set up repair.

  • Why does my iPhone 5c randomly close an app while I'm using it?

    Once in a while my iphone will close an app that I'm using. Why? And how can I keep this from happening? I have all updates and plenty of battery...

    Sounds as if it could be a bad charger. Try another charger/cable.

  • Why does my iPhone 5c only charge with certain chargers ?

    My phone 5c only charges with certain iPhone 5 chargers. My charger broke and I bought a new original apple charger but it didn't work. The charger functioned fine with my friends iPhone but not with mine, I plugged my phone to her charger and it charged fine ? This is happening with my cousins iPod as well. What's the problem ?

    Probably dirt or pocket lint in the Lightning connector on the bottom of the phone. Clean it with a wood or plastic toothpick.

  • Why does my iphone keep getting disconnected from Wifi?

    My laptop has no issue staying connected to my wifi, but my iphone 4 keeps getting disconnected. I connect to wifi then a few seconds later, it disconnects for some reason. My lapop doesn't seem to have this problem, but my iphone has been having this issue for some time now. I cannot load anything on my iphone because of this. I'm unable to go online for more than 3 seconds at a time, literally. HELP! I've resetted my network settings, forgot my network, and renewed lease on my settings, but I still haven't found a fix.

    You are in a bad service area. Maybe you should think about switching carriers. Having bad service is not an iphone problem.

  • Why does my iPhone 6 pop up with this message?

    Hey so I got my new iPhone 6 in the mail yesturday and i'm having trouble actually getting the phone started. Whenever I try signing in to activate my phone it comes up with this message after i enter my billing zip code and my SSN. Verizon Wireless was unable to verify your identity using the information you entered. I do everything right but it won't let me activate my iPhone. I am using the same phone number as my previous phone. I've called apple and they hooked me up with a senior advisor then they hooked me up to verizon and they didn't help me at all. The SIM card is in the iPhone and my phone on verizon is already linked I just need to get the iPhone activated. Did anyone else have this similar problem?

  • Why does my iPhone 4 get slower with every update? (iPod app special)

    When i tab ipod and then movies i almost have to wait longer than with my old iPhone 3G. And it get worst with every update. ***? I am thinking about downdating to 3.something then my iPhone 4 was really quick.

    Here is my update on this issue. This isn't normal. I spoke to several tech support people, sr tech support people, etc and we found out that somehow my battery was damaged during the update. They found this out by sending me a diagnostic file via sms. I was sent into the apple store to replace my phone. I had it a little under a year, with 40 days left on my warranty. When I went to the store I was able to show the rep at the store the issue described in this thread. He just scratched his head. It was a quick swap. I spent a lot of time trying to fix this issue. I tried everything. Removing itunes_control files, several restores, starting from scratch. I could duplicate the issue every time. It's a bug and I'm sure it will be addressed. If you are still under warranty, I would recommend getting it checked by an apple tech to see if it messed up your battery and perhaps get it replaced. Battery issues on these devices cause lots of problems. 

  • Why does my Iphone 4 randomly resend old text messages?

    My carrier is Verizon but from what I have read on the Internet it is apparently an Apple issue not a carrier issue. It is really embarrassing when people text me all confused because I sent them a random text message.

    I'm having the same issue, I just changed offices and the service in here is typically not 3G, and 1-3 bars.  Sometimes iMessages drops out sometimes it is fine, sometimes an SMS won't go through and I have to manual resend it, but recently I have been getting texts from friends telling me that I am resending texts from days ago. 
    I'm not sure, but I think when I try to resend a failed message, somehow it is trying to resend all past failed messages or something.
    Anyone else having this issue?

    Hi there TokyoLee,
    You may want to try force closing all open apps and resetting the device as an initial troubleshooting step. Take a look at the articles below for more information.

  • Why does my iPhone show a padlock with an arrow around it?

    could any one tell me what this is and how to turn it off

    It means that the iPhone screen is locked in portrait orientation. You can remove it by unlocking the orientation (Double-click the Home button, flick the bottom of the screen from left to right, then tap).
    If you havn't already got a copy then the iPhone manual can be downloaded from this page http://support.apple.com/manuals/#iphone
