  • Why does my iphone need wifi to update

    Why does my iphone need wifi to download and install new software update!?
    While other iphones can do that with their cellular internet

    This is your phone's operating temp range:
    Operating ambient temperature: 32° to 95° F (0° to 35° C)
    You exceed that range & you'll get that warning...you do nothing, & your phone will shut down to prevent damage. Easy to exceed that range while your phone is navigating & exposed to sun or another heat source.
    It is what it is.

    I can not send text messages to other IPhones if I do not have wifi or 3G on, the texts are sent as emails.

    Hey Linders1987,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities! I understand that you are experiencing issues with Wi-Fi on your iPhone 5. The following resource may provide a solution:
    iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections - Apple Support
    http://support.apple.com/en-us/TS1398
    Wi-Fi disconnects or signal strength is less than expected
    Move closer to the Wi-Fi router (access point).
    Check for sources of potential interference.
    Remove any case, stand, or other accessories from your iOS device and see if signal strength improves.
    Reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
    Note: This will reset all network settings including
    - previously connected Wi-Fi networks and passwords
    - recently used Bluetooth accessories
    - VPN and APN settings
    Thanks,

  • Why is my iPhone 5 wifi so slow?

    I have an iPhone 5 through AT&T, and so does my dad and brother. My mom has an iPhone 4. I've recently noticed that ALL of the iPhone 5s get atrociously slow download speeds (<1Mbps download, >10Mbps upload, ~200ms ping). We pay for 50Mbps download and 25Mbps upload from Verizon Fios. My mom's iPhone 4, my dad's iPad, and all of our laptops have no internet troubles whatsoever.
    I've read in a few places to try disabling the WPA2 encryption on my router, and I did so to no avail. I've used multiple routers, including an AirPort Extreme on both 5GHz and 2.4GHz, and all the routers gave similar download and upload rates. It's not even just our wifi, it's ALL wifi: work, schools, restaurants, it doesn't matter. The wifi has horrible download rates and ping.
    I've been dealing with this problem for a few weeks now, and no one has seemed to figure out the problem. Might I be able to get a replacement iPhone from the Apple store and see if that fixes the problem? I'm pushing my data limit since I've been forced to use LTE over wifi. Thanks in advance!

    Just did a speed test with my iPhone 5 connected to my "n" wireless network encrypted with WPA2 and had the following results.
    Ping - 31ms
    Download - 20.82 Mbps
    Upload - .97 Mbps
    I suggest making an appointment at an Apple Store if there is one nearby for a hardware diagnostic to be run.

  • Why does my iPhone 4S WiFi keeps shutting off?

    This is the SECOND black iPhone 4S with problems with WiFi once the IOS 8 updated is downloaded.  So frustrating!
    Just after the IOS 8 update was available, I updated my black iPhone 4S.  Soon after, I experienced a hot battery, screen freezes, and the screen toggle button for WiFi was grayed out.  I called Apple support and they tried to help me.  Very pleasant!  After about 30 minutes, we concluded to reset the phone back to the original factory settings.  This fix did not work and the Apple tech told me about purchasing a new replacement phone.  Mind you, the 4S was less than two years old.  Not long after, I went into my cellular carrier and they agreed to provide me with a new Apple iPhone 4S.  The new one worked just fine for several months.  Now, that 4S has begun freezing up, and the WiFi screen toggle is again grayed.  Again, so frustrating!
    I am mentioning the BLACK 4S only because my wife has the white 4S and it has not experienced any issues, even with the IOS 8 updates.
    I need help please!  This cannot be a coincidence that two separate black 4S phones each have an issue with the WiFi toggle.
    Thank you,
    Mike

  • 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 can't i use wifi on my iphone 4s after i downloaded IOS7

    why can't i use wifi on my iphone 4s after i downloaded IOS7?
    thankful for answer!

    Well, there are probably dozens of possible answers based on the nature of the problem, so a little more information would be useful.
    Is the WiFi switch greyed out? If so, see: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1559
    Is the problem with only one network? If so, reboot the router by removing all power from it for about 30 seconds. Even if other devices still work on that router (the router and iPhone may have gotten out of sync on the time remaining on the iPhone's IP address lease).
    If the WiFi switch is not greyed out, but the phone doesn't find any networks, go to Settings/General/Reset - Reset network settings.
    If that fails, go to Settings/General/Reset - Reset All settings.
    And if the problem is not described in this message please provide more information.

  • HT3529 I'm sending an iMessage from my iPhone to another iPhone but the recipient phone does not receive message because not on wifi. Why does recipient iPhone not automatically receive in text messaging?

    I'm sending an iMessage from my iPhone to another iPhone but the recipient phone does not receive message because not on wifi. Why does recipient iPhone not automatically receive in text messaging?

    Wi-Fi is not required for iMessage. Internet access is required for iMessage which includes when the iPhone is connected to the cellular network.
    If an iMessage cannot be sent, it will fail to send and you will be prompted to send as an SMS if text only.

    why does my iPhone 4 always say "sync will resume when "... MacBook Pro" is available??? i can't seem to sync over wifi

    Try the following:
    1. Connect the phone to your computer using the USB cable and let it sync.
    2. Uncheck "Sync with this iPhone over Wi-Fi"
    3. Click Apply
    4. Check "Sync with this iPhone over Wi-Fi"
    5. Click Apply
    6. Quit iTunes
    7. Disconnect the phone from the USB cable
    8. Make sure your phone is connected to your Wi-Fi network
    9. Open iTunes
    iTunes should see your iPhone and connect to it. Go under Settings > General > iTunes Wi-Fi Sync and see if you can initiate a sync.
