Wi-fi signal week. Was fine a few weeks back

Been using my iPad in same place for the last year and have always had 100% reception but in the last 2-3 months it has now gone down to 1 bar and often looses signal.
Its on the latest software. Could it be that its been dropped or is it a software issue? What can I do?

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 http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

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.

The startup disk may need repairing...
Startup your Mac while holding down the Command + R keys.
From there you should be able to access the built in utilities in OS X Recovery

Redeem gift card code that was setup a few months back

How do I find the gift card code that I entered a few months back but no longer
have the card..Thank you

I tried this and was asked to provide not only photos of the front and back of the card but a sales receipt. This is a gift card. It was a gift! I don't have a sales receipt. Very disappointed.

Broadband constantly disconnecting. Was fine a few...

Hi
My broadband keeps disconnecting, sometimes every 5 minutes sometimes every few hours. Today is particularly awful disconnecting me as many as 10 times an hour. I spoke to the call centre they told me the Hub was broken, they said as I wasn't on a contract anymore they would only send me a new one if I signed a new contract. HILARIOUS why would I sign up to a service failing to work.
So I went out and bought a new router as suggested, which cost me £75 and guess what. It's nothing to do with any equipment or wires it is YOU! Something is obviously wrong with the line in this area and I'm at the end of my teather. Virgin or Sky will be contacted next week if this isn't resolved asap!
Thankyou

I put the EarPods in, but it can't seem to play music. it was working a few days ago. what happened?

What happened? My earpods were working fine. Even with other devices. But when I plugged it into the ipod nano 7g, it didnt work. It was fine a few days ago...

Oh never mind. Small piece of tissue was stuck in the jack. Prevented it from working.

ITunes was working fine a few weeks ago but now when i try and load it I get the message "This version of iTunes has not been correctly localised for this language. Please run the English version."

I suddenly cannot open my iTunes. Was working fine a few weeks ago but now a message comes up asking me to use the English version. (I am using Windows 8)

Hey MichelleOland,
Thanks for the question. I understand that you are experiencing issues opening iTunes for Windows. Let’s try completely removing iTunes and all related components and then re-installing from Apple’s website:
Remove and reinstall iTunes and related software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8 - Apple Support

Is anyone accountable at verizon? will i ever really get my phone? i've seen people on this forum order later than me and get their phone quicker

I looked in the My Orders section of my Verizon account this morning (12/22), My SG iPhone 6+ 1228GB is now listed under my Recent Orders and my card was charged yesterday, So I am thinking it will ship Monday morning. This is how the process went for my wife's S 64GB 6+ two weeks ago. This is an interesting turn of events since I was also one to receive the email on Thursday about it being pushed back to 12/12 I'll keep you all posted.
Also I ordered 10/13.

TS1398 my new ipad works perfectly. the iphone 5, however, cannot connect to the same wifi, can barely get a 3G signal, and the power level is at 53% after being barely used for 1\2 a day. Is this a hardware problem?? My old 3Gs was fine until it died.

Greetings,
I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
Good Luck - Cheers,
M.

So I have a 1.5 year old Macbook Pro (Early 2011) and since last week, it has been making a crackling noise that has escalated to a grinding noise. I went to Genius - they told me my HD was fine, but they could do nothing about the noise. I'm super upset

I have a Macbook Pro that I bought new in August of 2011. It's been wonderful up until now. Last week, I was watching a lot of Netflix for a day, but then it began making a tiny crackling noise when I started my computer. It wasn't really bothersome, but then it's escalated into a grinding noise. A loud grinding noise. I haven't been watching Netflix and barely use any of my applications. My RPMs vary when I'm idle and can go up to 5000. Sometimes, it falls to as low as 1600.
I went to the Genius Bar today and the technician did two diagnostics to test the HD and the parts as a whole. Everything was fine. I was like, ***. Anyways, I asked if there could be anything done for the fans because I was willing to pay (I'm out of warranty). But he said they couldn't DO ANYTHING. That I would have to deal with the annoying noise. I called up Apple and told them what happened and she said that there was nothing else that could be done.
I am so ****** because I did pay good money for this product and I expect to have the option to repair, ESPECIALLY since I'm willing to pay for the repair. Can anyone tell me what to do? Did anyone ever have this problem?

I would guess the fan is the cause of the noise. Suggest you take a look at it.
This site has a wealth of information about getting inside a Macbook or Macbook Pro.

Hi, I loaded an iTunes card and bought an audiobook a few weeks back! I was unable to download it because my wifi was down, my wifi has just been fixed but now my audiobook purchase is not available but the cash has been taken? Any ideas how to solve this

When I use find file http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/30073/find-file (which does tend to find files that "Finder" can't), it's not coming up with any other itunes library files that have been modified in the past week, which I know it would have been - unfortunately, I don't have a very recent backup of the hard drive. It would be a few months old so it wouldn't have the complete library on it....any ideas? I'm wondering if restarting the computer might help but have been afraid to do so in case it would make it harder to recover anything...I was looking at this thread https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4211589?start=0&tstart=0 in the hopes that it might have a helpful suggestion but it's definitely a different scenario.

I am unable to connect to my home wifi, i was fine in a hotel this past week with the wifi

Question I am unable to connect to my home wifi, I was fine in a hotel this past week with their wifi, I am not that technical and need help also how do I find my operating system info??

Go to settings, general, about, and you will see "version." That will indicate what your operating system is such as 5.0.1 which is the most recent upgrade.
As for the wifi, you might try going to settings, then general, then at the bottom reset, then click on reset network settings. Back out of everything and then when you log back onto your wifi it will ask you for your local password (assuming you gave it one when your router was set up). Enter it and you should be good for go. At least this worked for me.
Good luck.
