Wifi problems with Apple devices, Microsoft devices work fine on my home network?

Starting two weeks back I noticed network speeds had slowed. In the house (2) ipads, (2) iphones, smart TV, Wii, (2) laptops. I manage the wifi connections by manually turning them off or on, so at a given point only (3) devices may connect to wifi router. Performance has gone from slow to non existent. I can connect to my SSID but cannot say stream to my IPADs or Iphones.
Power down reset cable modem and router
Tried renewing lease
Reset network settings
Recreated my Wifi connection (linksys router)
As I've stated my Wifi issues are only with my Apple devices and Windows laptops and other non apple devices access my Wifi network just fine. Any ideas

Click on the info button on the right of the Wi-fi your trying to connect to. I You should see a bunch of numbers under the IP Address, Subnet Mask, Router, DNS, etc. If not try pressing the static button. Wait for a few seconds and close out of it. Go back in and it will most likely default back DHCP. If not press DHCP, type in your password and it should re-recognize your router. Also try settings, general, reset on the very bottom of the general tab, and reset your network settings. One of these two should work. Good luck.

Streaming problems with MacBook Pro, iPhone 5 works fine

If I try to listen music via airplay from iTunes (Mac Book Pro 2009) it stops every 20 seconds for 2-5 seconds and then continue. It is impossible to listen music like that. If I do the same with my iPhone 5, everythink works fine for hours. I am sitting 1m away from the router (Fritzbox 7270) an the router is 1m away from Apple TV. So do anybody know what the reason could be? Thanks a lot!

Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first. Networks that have inherent issues can be seen to work differently with different versions of the same software. You might also try moving the Apple TV away from other electrical equipment.

My printers works fine on my home network but disappears on a remote desktop terminal connection

As I don't really know how to post a general addition to the knowledge base, I'm doing in Jeopardy style. Here is the question to the above answer. Well close enough.
Many people have reported all over the net issues with printers working just fine on their home network but disappearing when they connect to a server via RDT. There are some legit updates needed where windows did not see anything but LPT and COM ports for printer re-direction assignment. There are Mr. Fix it's for those and registry patches. When all of that fails, the information highway seems to dead end.
Here is what I learned today via 2 specific printers: HP1022 and HP2840 lasjerjets.
After many months of frustration and 7 1/2 hours with Microsoft advanced prof support I've finally pinned down this printer and a slew of others. This problem as far as I have come across deals exclusively with HP printers. In simple terms: the drivers are flawed. This 1022 is a prime example. It prints locally and via TCP/IP just fine. I have about 7 other printers and dummy printers in my printer folder. Enter a remote desktop session and ALL of them populate except the 1022. This shows that the hooks and RDT finders are locating your printers and installing them properly as remote printers. All except the 1022.
Log out of your RDT session: goto the local 1022 setup and change the printer driver to a PCL driver. I used a 1200 PCL driver. Now log back into your RDT server and hockus pocus! there is your printer. Totally un-usable because the driver will not run this printer. Caveat: each time I did this XP crashed (I couldn't get to the properties TAB anymore -- I had to un-install the 1022 and then re-install it with at least 1 reboot in the process)
Moving on we go to the HP OfficeJet/LajerJet2840. Same thing. It won't pass through as remote printer in RDT. Go local. Set the printer driver to AppleLaserWriter8500 and boom. (same logout, change, back in steps) and your LJ2840 shows up and works.
While I will have to wait until tomorrow I am betting that this will fix the exact same problem with the HP Officejet 8500A all in one with the exact same problem.
Hey HP? Whats with the drivers??
Another work around if you have a static enough environment is to install your local printer that will not show up under RDT on the server, and then point the port to your fixed IP on your router, and passthru port 9100 to your locally installed printer that is failing. You can now be on RDT and chooses the network printer that is printing to the TCP address of your home (or office) router.

Several problems with iPod that used to work fine PLEASE HELP

First, the iPod is a 5th gen 30 gig video and I have an IBM Thinkpad T43 with xp pro. I have had it a few years and i have had zero problems until recently. Now when I try to sync the iPod, my laptop immediately shuts off going completely black and the loading lights along with the lights for caps lock and num lock flash until i remove the iPod. Then the lights stop flashing and the computer reboots. Thus it is impossible for me to sync. Another recent problem that i have is that I can no longer listen to music while charging the iPod with a wall charger. While the wall charger is plugged in, the iPod constantly says that the battery power is too low, even on a full battery. Once I unplug the charger, the iPod works fine again. Any help I can get would be awesome. Thanks.

That is a Flash player.

4gb Ram problem with P6N 650i. 2gb work fine

I have been researching this problem for 2 days now in my free time, but I havent made any progress. First off, here is my system
MSI 650i P6N SLI
2gb G. Skill DDR2 800
2gb Patriot DDR2 800
two 250gb HDs
E6300 @ 1.86ghz
8800GTS 512mb
And here is the problem, I have been running the 2gb of G. SKill Ram for quite some time, perfectly fine, then I bought this Patriot, Gaming ram off a friend. Running all 4gb, the system takes about 10 minutes to boot up, and is extremely slugish from there. But running either pair of 2gb on its own works perfectly fine...
I think this is a fairly common problem, and I found all kinds of different fixes, but either they didnt work, or didnt apply to me. I saw something about upgrading to BIOS version 1.24 for the SLI FI board, but that is a completely different MOBO then mine... I upgraded to 2.60 BIOS, which is the latest, and it didnt help at all. So if anyone has any ideas, that would be really great!!
If you need more info too I can give.
I am fairly computer literate too, but this is a pretty tough fix for me to figure out...
Thanks!!

Hello,
New here finally found someone with my same problem!!! My signature has my setup, and I still have a problem getting 4GB of memory to work with my setup. It is 4 x 1GB modules, and if I put any combination in the channels, the 4GB won't work, and any arrangement of 1-3GB works just fine. The 4th gig gives me a blue screen while Vista is loading, and it's always a different error code.
I got in touch with Patriot's tech support, who said the voltage to the memory should be increased. I didn't quite buy that, and haven't tried it yet because I wanted to find a better solution.
EVGA's tech support said to update the BIOS. Based on this thread, that sounds like the fix, however I am having trouble updating the BIOS. EVGA's instructions are worthless. I have the most current BIOS version on a CD ready to boot with, but when I try to boot from the CD, nothing happens. It looks like I need to flash the CMOS first? I tried a procedure on a website and it didn't work. When I get to the screen to flash it, the comp is frozen. Is there a jumper I need to remove?
I would appreciate some help in this matter. Thanks!

Does multilingual work with Oracle oci8 Driver? I am facing problems with oci8 while thin driver works fine ...

Hi, I am currently working on iPlanet 6.0 SP4 with oracle 8.1.6. I am planning to make my application language independent. while testing I figured out that if i use oci8 driver or oracle, it doesn't support other language characters while the thin driver supports fine. Can anybody help me regarding this? Is this a bug, or some possible configuration issue? Has somebody came across this problem before? How do i go about it ?

We faced same issue. Looks like the native driver does not support the automatic data encoding/decoding from/to database. You can always workaround this by reading everything as byte stream and then by letting java handle the encoding/decoding. But we decided to use type4 thin driver which does this automatically if you set the content type. Anyway we are told that later versions of IAS may not support native drivers, so if you are serious about multi language shift to type4 thin drivers now itself.

Yes another user with problem with Apple Mobile Device Support, I am getting the error message: Service 'Apple Mobile Device'(Apple Mobile Device) failed to start. Vertify that you have sufficient privileges to start system service....I hit retry and it came up again. I hit ignore and it prompted me to hit finish so Itunes can open. I looked thru alot of these posts on here to try and resolve this problem myself but it's not working too well...I downloaded Itunes to my desktop so I can right click it with the program i downloaded called WinRAR. I extracted it and then went into the folder called Itunes64setup. I saw the file called AppleMobileDeviceSupport64 in there so I began to try and download it on it's own. Well that didn't work as I planned and got this error message:
Apple Mobile Device Support wasn't installed on your computer. The installer encountered errors before Apple Mobile Device Support could be configured. Your system has not been modified. To retry these operations at a later time,please run the installer again.
Well I tried to run it again and came up with the same message...I see that some people got great support to help them so I am hoping someone can help me as well. I know "b nor" is very qualfied and hopefully can help me! Please advise what I can do. Thank you

I have a problem with my iPhone 5 stopped working the sleep / power and simultaneously refused to obey the HOME button. I can not use either one or the other. I can not enable or disable the device, display lights up when you plug the charger. same display works fine as it is surprising. or maybe someone knows what is the reason for this? is there any way to solve this problem?

More than likely its a hardware issue, I have never encountered such a problem and best bet is to just go get it replaced. If you have insurance on your device apple will replace it as long as there was no water damage, if you dont have insurance they will charge $200 more or less. Hope you get it fixed

Hi bluebanana 66,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
There are a few reasons why you might receive this message after installing iTunes. You may need to verify that iTunes has been completely removed before trying to install again. See this article for the steps to completely remove and reinstall iTunes:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7

Could apple send me an iPad air. All my friends are making fun of me because I'm stuck with the old device and no phone. I've had app problems with apple before so I think that it would only be fair to get a newer device. Thank You Apple

First we aren't Apple just normal users just like you.
Second provide Apple a feedback or send them a mail.
Third they will never send you a free iPad Air.
If you want one you have to buy it. (go for refurbished if the device is too expensive) or look for special prices.
Contact iTunes support if you have a problem with an App.

If i buy an apple product from the actual customer who bought it, and i face some problem with it, but the device is still under warranty, so would there be any issue for getting the device checked?

If you make an appointment at the Genius Bar about a problem, they will check and evaluate the device, and if it warrants a replacement under warranty, they make the final determination. We are users here. This is a user to user support forum. We cannot determine what Apple will do. I can tell you what I already did, the warranty follows the device.

Thanks again for you help. I finally got the music resting on my iPad moved into iTunes and then got the music resting on my iPod backed up in iTunes. Final step was to get the music on my iPad onto my iPod without loading the iPod music onto the iPad. I use my iPod strictly for music and don't want to clog my iPad with all those songs. Anyway, long process but it worked. Thanks again.

IPad mini with retina still having wifi problems with iOS 8.0.2 - slow or none. Resetting temporarily fixes problem it very annoying. Please fix Apple! Not up to scratch.

iPad mini with retina still having wifi problems with iOS 8.0.2 - slow or none. Resetting temporarily fixes problem it very annoying. Please fix Apple! Not up to scratch.

I Have followed these steps, and tried others, such as resetting all my network settings. At best these only temporarily fix the problem - wifi still becomes slow or stops. I have other Apple devices connecting fine to my airport express. why is my iPad mini not working? Is it related to the fact it is 3G and I don't have a sim card installed? It is the current top of the range model with iOS 8.0.2. I paid over the odds for the best, and it is almost completely redundant. Apple - I'm losing faith. You need to keep the public better informed and fix this problem fast, otherwise I will leave you for good.
