Why does my router drop iPhones?

I just got an iPhone 5 and for some reason it disconnects from my wifi router and asks for the password every time. I have never had this problem with my Mac or android. And it seems to happen to everyone who has an iPhone in my house. Any suggestions?

  • Why does my iBookPro drop its WiFi connection so often?

    My question: why does my iBookPro drop it WiFi connection so often, and what can I do to prevent it (or at least extend the duration of active connection)?
    I have an iBookPro running OSX 10.9.5, with a 2.4 GHz Intel Core i5 processor and 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 RAM.  I think my iBookPro is about 3 or 4 years old.
    What seems to happen is that I will use my iBookPro accessing mail & websites for a few minutes, and then when I try to send an e-mail, mail puts up a message that it cannot send mail with the selected server, so I need to either try a different server or try later.  Meanwhile I notice that the WiFi signal indicator shows full service, but when I run diagnostics it shows that the internet is not connected.  Opening the WiFi icon in the top menu bar shows that it is looking for Networks.  After an indeterminate time it finds the network I have had highlighted and logged into (my WiFi -5G router) since I opened my iBook when I arrived at my office.
    I often find I have to turn WiFi off, then back on, to get connection with the internet. 
    What's going on, and what am I missing?

    Hello jBookProAm, 
    If you are having issues with your MacBook Pro with maintaining a Wi-Fi connection, then take a look at the articles below to get it sorted out. The first article will talk about using Wireless Diagnostics, which you have already done, but also you look at the additional troubleshooting within the article for assistance. You may want to also create a new location as another troubleshooting option and those steps are in the second article.

    Do you mean that when you move files on the Desktop, they don't stay where you put them ?.
    If so - use Finder - View menu - Show View options & choose 'Arrange by' : none
    If not - please describe exactly what the problem is.

  • Why does not Apple allows iPhone to be sync by two different computers ?

    I have a pc at home and one in office. But I can only sync it with my home pc. Why does not apple allow iPhones to be sync by atleats two pcs as having different pc for work and home is very general.

    It is possible to sync from multiple libraries manually on other devices (iPads & iPods) so blanket statements that 'it's DRM' don't really make sense to me.
    If it is the only reason why can't non DRM'd content be copied?
    Manage content manually on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod - Apple Support
    See step 6, iPods & iPads have fewer restrictions compared to iPhones.
    Perhaps we would have a better idea if it wasn't all wrapped up in thousands of words spread between the multiple terms & conditions agreements.
    https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/
    https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/icloud/ww/
    You will need to read those terms & get legal help if you can't work it out titan_sifu, good luck.

  • Why does my router disconnect every time I sleep the computer? Why did this only start to happen recently?

    Why does my router disconnect every time I sleep the computer? Why did this only start to happen recently?

    Actually it does with Ethernet too: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2412?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
    What happens when the Mac goes to sleep (not just into idle mode or display sleep)?
    On all Macs:
    The microprocessor goes into a low-power mode
    Video output is turned off, and a connected display may turn off or enter its own idle state
    Apple-supplied hard disks spin down; third-party hard disks may spin down
    On portable Macs:
    The Ethernet port turns off, if applicable (see note below)
    Expansion card slots turn off
    The built-in modem, if present, turns off (see note below)
    An AirPort card, if present, turns off (see note below)
    The USB ports only responds to the power key on an external keyboard (see below)
    The optical media drive, if present, spins down
    Audio input and output turns off
    Keyboard illumination, if a feature of your portable computer, turns off
    But see the note about selecting, "Wake For Network Access" in Energy Saver preferences.
    Note: Portable computers have no network connectivity when in sleep mode, but can wake if the Energy Saver option "Wake for network access" is enabled. If you wish to use file sharing or don't want to interrupt your Internet connection, you should not manually put the computer to sleep, and you should drag the "Computer sleep" slider to Never.

  • Why does my graphic drop out as a pdf?

    I created 4 graphics in Illustrator CS3, downloaded them onto a CD cover template and saved as an .ai file which looks fine. When I attempt to then save it as a pdf, one of the graphics drops out. Appreciate your feedback.

    When I click on Windows, 'Links' is not checked off. When I click  on
    'Links' and open the panel, all 4 graphics are listed but there are no  icons to
    the right of these file names.

  • Why does my grandson's iPhone 5 not have the "None" option in his billing info and my iPad mini does.  We both live in Canada.

    Why does my grandson's iPhone 5 not have the "None" option in billing info?  I have it on my iPad Mini and on my iPhone 4S.  We both live in Canada within 20 minutes of each other.
    I bought him $30.00 worth of iTunes gift cards, he loaded them, but it won't let him use them.  It just goes to his previously entered Visa card which he no longer has and it won't let him unselect it either.  Sounds like theft to me!

    Because you that's not a supported bluetooth profile on the iPhone... In order to sync contacts with a handsfree system, the system needs to support the PBAP bluetooth profile. If it does, then the contacts will sync automatically.

  • Why does my email drop out when I access my group contacts list

    Why does my email drop out when I access my group contacts list

    Hi Helen
    I think (from the other forum you posted to previously) that you are asking how to send email to a group in your address book, or other group of email addresses? You will need a third party app to do this, a number of which are available from the App Store.
    Our MailShot Pro app is unique, as it can turn addressbook groups into special contacts that you can use from any Mail-compatible app on your iPad (Such as Mail, Photos, Maps etc.) as though the ability to send to groups were built into your device.
    You can find MailShot Pro here on the App Store

  • Why does iTunes crashing on iPhone after launch?

    Why does iTunes crashing on iPhone after launch?

    Hey
    First, try force closing the Music app, which you can find out how to do here:
    iOS: Force an app to close
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5137
    And if it still doesn't work when you try to re-open it, I would then reset the device:
    Resetting your device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

  • Why does my brand new iphone die???

    Why does my brand new iphone die???

    sorry!!!
    Make sure that the USB cable is plugged into the iPhone 4S and iTunes is running. (The only reason we have iTunes running is that, once the device boots into DFU, iTunes will prompt you with a dialogue box.)
    Now, turn the device off by holding the power button till Slide to Power Off appears on screen. (If you plugged in the cable after turning the device off, it will turn on again.)
    With your device off. press and hold the Power button for 3 seconds.
    Without releasing the Power button, press the Home button and keep both the buttons pressed for 10 more seconds.
    Release the Power button, but keep the Home button pressed for another 10 seconds.
    The device should kick into DFU mode in around the 7th or 8th second, and iTunes will display a prompt that say's "iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode you must restore....
    The black and totally blank screen is totally normal; there is no need to be alarmed. This was all that it took for you to put your iPhone 4S in DFU mode.
    Click on "OK" and follow the steps to restore iPhone.

  • Why does it say my iphone is linked to another library when trying to add ringtones

    why does it say my phone is synced to another library, if I want to proceed with syncing music it asks to erase contents and sync with current info.  How do I know all my contacts on my phone are saved if it wants to erase info?

    Apple's intention is that you manage an iPhone from a single library. If you connect to a different library iTunes wants to wipe everthing out and start over.
