Wifi not working because case is kryptonite...
I recently bought 3 iPhone 4s for my family, but one iPhone 4s could not locate the Wi-Fi in our home while the other 2 had no issues with it, I contacted sprint, and went to there corporate store, after complete resets and numerous deactivations and reactivations the problem still was present. Sprint instructed me that the phone was the problem. I returned the phone and received a brand new in the box iPhone, this phone did the same exact thing, after calling sprint and doing everything possible they could not figure out the problem, but I did!!! The problem was a case I bought off eBay, for whatever reason this plastic case blocked the Wi-Fi signal, as soon as I remove the case it worked fine, when I put the case on the other iPhones I lost the signal, so I guess certain cases are like kryptonite for the iPhone. The name of the case I bought says minges on the box and it comes in all colors and has an elegant leather type backing the phone case is plastic so I don't know why it blocked the signal. Any ideas?
No there is no access control enabled in the router.Today my iphone connected with the wifi at a hotspot, and when i checked the connection i saw the ip address and all.At my home, my ip address, subnet and DNS fields are all empty.May be this can trigger you for solutions.

can't get to settings to turn on wifi because "sign in to icloud" pops up and asks for pw which does not work because i can't get to wifi ?
The problem is I cannot turn on wireless setting. The "sign in to icloud -- enter appleid password" popup will not go away. when i enter the pw and click ok, the same balloon pops up again. If I click "cancel" it pops again. Since I am not on the internet (because I cannot turn the ipad wireless on) the sign in to icloud obviously will not work. Vicious circle.

NGS Sponsors authentication does not work in case user has non-English character in his password
Hi,
we are using the NAC Guest Server v 2.0.1 and have Sponsors authentication done through Radius servers. Radius servers are Microsoft IAS using AD.
Sponsors user authentication works okay in case user's password includes English characters, but does not work in case an user uses national characters like for example Umlauts in German.
On Radius server I can see these error messages:
User XXXX was denied access.
Reason = Authentication was not successful because an unknown user name or incorrect password was used.
As soon as an user changes his password and uses English characters only, it resolves.
I guess this might be that NGS uses different coding while sending a password to Radius server, but not sure.
Appreciate if anyone knows a root cause and what could be a workaround. Unfortunately our AD policy allows users to use national characters and we can hardly change it. So a change on NGS or Radius side would be more viable.
Many thanks for your help.A case has been opened at Cisco and it is now quite clear that it is a problem with coding.
According to Cisco development team NGS uses UTF-8 coding to send the password, of course encrypted, to the Radius server. This cannot be changed within NGS. We use Radius Microsoft IAS Version 5.2.3790.3959 running on VMWare Windows 2003 SP2. More tests are scheduled to be performed. -
How to fix iphone 4s wifi not working
How to fix wifi not working on iphone 4s after it is updated to ios 7 ?
Here is what fixed my wife's phone after several weeks of no wifi. We had removed the Sims card and transferred to another phone which was running ios 6. My son was visiting and said Apple had come out with an update a few days ago and he decided to attempt to install it on the 4s phone that had no wifi and no cellular because the sims card was removed. He tapped the icon to update the new ios version and received the message to the effect that No WiFi available would you like to search for available networks. He selected yes and immediately the wifi came on and has been working now for two days. Also we never installed the update to the new ios.
My advice is to remove your sims card like we did or trun off your cellular and attempt the update to see if you get the message to search for available networks and then of course choose yes. Go figure. Hope this works for you.Read this http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1398

I have installed BootCamp 5.1 and Windows updates not working because it extract files on Mac partition before installation. Is there any workaround for same ?
To replicate this issue - Try to download .net framework 4.5 from microsoft website and than run that setup on windows partition.
Before installation. it will first extract all the binaries to a other drivers, since in my case other primary drive is E which is a Mac partition so it always give me an error while extractiing and therefore setup is not able to execute propely.
Let me try to get the screen shot of error and send it here. -
FaceTime between an iPad and MacBook on same wifi not working
I have an iPad 2 and a MacBook running on the same wifi network and have been unable to make FaceTime work for either of them. Works fine when we call someone with an iPhone or they call us. What are we doing wrong?
It's not working because you are basically calling yourself.
Test with another person who has an ipad or iphone, that's not sharing the same apple id.

When logging in into yahoo mail after typing in password Firefox is adding something, probably remembered password and login fails all the time. At yahoo mail Notepad does not work because it is impossible to close the list of items and they cover information, so I have to go to IE.
Only when i go to a different browser (like IE) after i clear it , then all that shows up is the pages i visited in IE , that is what bugs me , why is IE browsing history sowing up in Firefox ??
Basically , i can clear the history in Firefox , and then for a example , go to Craigslist , using IE7 (launching it from a complete different Icon , in other words at that time i never open Firefox) , then after closing out , or even leaving open as it does not seem to matter , i go into Firefox , and hit History , and there is every place i visited in IE7 , on my History in Firefox -

After I installed mountain lion my back button frequently does not work because the prior screen does not appear iunder History. Apple tech support was not able to fix the problem. Does anyone have any suggestions?

You don't in the condition it's in. You will either have to get the phone replaced by Apple or pay a 3rd party to repair it.
there seriously should be more than two ways to solve this other wise apple is useless and we will never buy another apple product.
Seriously? It's physically broken! -
New Itunes is not working because my imac is 10.6.8 need help ?
New Itunes is not working because my imac is 10.6.8 need help ....
Because you require Lion to run it. You should not have installed it.
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mavericks, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion at the Online Apple Store. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
Lion System Requirements
1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
or Xeon processor
2. 2GB of memory
3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
4. 7GB of available space
5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
Upgrading to Mountain Lion
To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase a redemption code at the Online Apple Store: OS X Mountain Lion. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. Use the code to redeem a download of Mountain Lion from the App Store. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
OS X Mountain Lion - System Requirements
Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later.
2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model
Identifier 5,1 or later.
3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later.
4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later.
5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later.
6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later.
7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later.
To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
