Why does my iPhone 5 only connect to wifi when it's with in 5 feet of the server
I Up graded to an i phone 5 s. From a 4 and the 5 will only connect to the wifi at home when I am with in a few feet of the server my 4 worked all over the house and even in the back yard. But now I can't even be in the hallway and keep connection. Other. I phone 4s have a good connection throughout the house and other iPhone. 5. Are the same as mine it seems a s though there may be a poor quality antenna on e new iPhone 5 s models and a lesser quality of a product this seems to be a trend with iPhone and it is very disappointing. Is there anything that can be done and also could you start building your newer products with better performance parts. (If it's not broke don't fix it). I want my iPhone 4 back lol. I have done a hard reset to resolve my issue and I have checked my wifI signal side by side with other phones and I pad. Please let me know if anything can be done thanks you
if this is the case with all wifi routers then I would say that the wifi antenna of the iphone5 is broken or not connected

Why does my iphone 4 keep dropping wifi connection since ios5.0.1update
Why does my iphone 4 keep dropping wifi connection since ios5.0.1 update, it worked perfectly before, my wifes 3gs connects fine and stays connected while my £400 paperweight losses connection, thinking of going back to nokia! Sort it out apple!
If the "oh so Great Apple" were to monitor these forums then they might see all the problems
that the people who have paid good money for their devices are having, i suppose they can do no wrong
In your eyes, i just thought that if you pay a lot of money for a product that works fine, and you update
It with a firmware update that they kept going on about how good it was and it can do this and it can
Do that, then i think they should sort it out. I don't care if i "don't deserve to be an apple owner" or not,
The fact is i paid my money and it should do what its suppose to do, i moved from Nokia to Apple because
The N97 was crap and i put up with it for too long, and they didn't do anything to fix the bugs they just stopped
Selling it and basically said tough s**t, so now this is happened i hoped Apple whould be better but they seem
To be just like the rest. -
Why does my Iphone 4s connect to my wi-fi with a password and latter in the day fail to connect until I reboot the router? Is there a setting on my router that would avoid this issue. All my other devices connect alright
OK so it now looks like on my iPhone 5 iwth iOS 6.1 the LTE network is conflicting with my home wifi (Airport Extreme). At the Apple store the LTE signal is lost in and wifi works like a charm. At home tired all of the "fixes"
-No security
-WEP
-Reset network,
-Complete reset and reload on the phone
-ETC ETC ETC
Just turned off the cell radio and it worked. Turned on the cell radio but kept LTE off and it worked.
Apple let's get a fix so we can use your "great" phone. I have just received a BB Z10 from work and it seems to work flawlessly. -
Why does my iPhone only ring once?
Why does my iPhone only ring once or not at all on incoming calls?
It is probably because you have switched off the notifications alerts.
Check in settings-notifications center-message and there select the alert sound.

why does my iphone say device not supported when connecting to my mac pro, even though it has already succesfuly paired? I also use a wirless bluetooth keyboard and mouse on the computer successfully.
Also when I turn Bluetooth on on the phone the devices cog never stops turning (forever serching for a device)iTunes automatically syncs voice memos to your iTunes library when you connect iPhone to your computer.
It couldn't be much easier than that as you don't actually have to do anything more than normal.
This lets you listen to voice memos on your computer and provides a backup if you delete them from iPhone.
Voice memos are synced to the Voice Memos playlist. iTunes creates the playlist if it doesn’t exist. When you sync voice memos to iTunes, they remain in the Voice Memos application until you delete them. If you delete a voice memo on iPhone, it isn’t deleted from the Voice Memos playlist in iTunes. However, if you delete a voice memo from iTunes, it is deleted from iPhone the next time you sync with iTunes.
USB syncing is far faster than Bluetooth. -
TS4036 why does my iphone say it cant restore when 98 per done
why does my iphone say it cant restore when 98 per done
There's no way a 16GB model phone has more than than capacity. I have no idea what you mean by AutoRun icon. Is that an app you downloaded? Did you jailbreak?
The "advertised" capacity of all storage devices is based on a decimal definition of "Gigabytes" where 1 GB is defined as 1,000,000,000 bytes. However computers see and calculate storage based on binary definitions where 1 GB = 1,073 742,824 bytes. Thus a 16 GB "decimal" device is only 14.9 real, binary gigabytes.
Also, there are additional loses due to formatting overhead and the iOS. RAM memory is separate and not used from the supplied flash disk. -
Why does my iphone shut down my computer when i have pictures on my phone
Why does my iphone shut down my computer when I plug into the USB port when I have pictures on my phone. My computer says it has found a new digital camera - then my computer shuts down.
Thank you Lawrence. I forgot I used to run a Logitech webcam several years ago and I hadn't uninstalled program when I changed the camera to a different one. I uninstalled the camera and it now seems to accept my phone with pictures onto my computer without shutting my computer down. I really appreciate your help with this problem.

Why does my iphone only send one picture multiple times when i select multiple photos to send?
why does my iphone send one picture multiple times when i select multiple photos to send (via message or email)?
Are you sending via Camera itself?
That is, selecting a picture, then select forward link symbol from bottom left
then select another picture,
Each time make sure you see the blue check mark at bottom right of each selected picture.
The number of " # Photos Selected" should be displayed at the top.
Then select Mail or Message and transmit. -

Why will my iphone 4 connect to wifi in the UK but not abroad?
Hi,
I bought a UK unlocked iphone 4 from a colleague of my sister's after my 4s went for a swim. For some reason I can connect to wifi services in the UK but none where I live, in Spain. I never had this problem with my 4s or the 3G that I had previously.
There is a UK sim card inserted in the phone, and it works fine as a phone apart from the wifi issue. The same issues occur even with another sim card installed or the phone in flight mode.
Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated!

If the mail carrier use the mail type called pop3 then when mails are downloaed to a device they are removed from the server unless one set in the settings they are not to be so
If your carrier support the newer types of mail called imap or exchange this will not be the case check if they do
Or look in the settings for a leave on server -
My ipad 2 openly connects to wifi if next to the router. All other iPhones and iPads in the house are working great.what do I do to fix this?
Some things to try first:
1. 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.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at

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.
Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

Hello all,
My iPhone 4 has been lost recently. I had turned my Find my iPhone enabled and my passcode was also on. Now that I lost my phone, the person who find my phone cannot be tracked in my assumption. Because, he can never get connected to other wifi when unknown passcode is there. So, please tell me any suggestions that helps me find my iPhone or track it.
