Wifi stopped working after connecting to itunes

After IOS7 my 4s started running slow, the battery drained and the wifi button greyed out. Over the past year I have reset network settings on a number of occasions, although there was never an immediate improvement there were a couple of occasions when after a few days my phone miraculously began working perfectly again. Problem was as soon as I connected to iTunes or the App Store the fault would flair up again. How is this possible? My wifi etc hasn't worked for months then four weeks ago I stopped taking photo's on my phone and subsequently stopped connecting my phone to my laptop to download the pics, three weeks ago my phone started working perfectly without me even doing a reset. During that time I didn't connect to my laptop, iTunes or the App Store but today I stupidly plugged my phone into my laptop to charge it and guess what? Now my wifi is greyed out again, my battery is draining and it's horrendously slow again. How can this be a fault with my phone? Is it possible that it's connecting to iTunes and the App Store (Apple in other words) that are making my phone appear to be faulty? I really can't think of any other explanation but the thought of it makes me feel sick. This is sinister stuff and I will be taking my phone to see one of apples "geniuses" tomorrow for an explanation.

Same this problem is with my ipad 2. What should we do?

  • WIFI stopped working after I woke the computer up, now says connected to the network but not the internet, all other coputers and devices connected still with no problems, have pinged IP address from router and got the message "4 packets sent none receive

    Hi,
    WIFI stopped working after I woke the computer up, now says connected to the network but not the internet, all other coputers and devices connected still with no problems, have pinged IP address from router and got the message "4 packets sent none received"... Help
    I have tried network diagnostics which doesnt help... The only other ting is, when I woke the computer up it said tat another device was using my IP... My wife had plugged her phone into the computer to charge etc but even when i turn wifi off on the phone there is no change... also in settings on the phone the IP address is different...

    The answer to your question is - neither!
    Your PC should to configured to obtain an IP address automatically, and to obtain DNS server IP addresses automatically, from the Airport Express. This is the way Windows (and Macs for that matter) are configued by default, and that is the way most people have their computers set up. If you manually configured your PC's IP address to be the same as your wife's Mac, it certainly explains why your PC is not able to access the internet.

  • WiFi stops working after install of latest 10.8.5 update on MacBook 5,1 third time reinstall OS X

    WiFi stops working after install of latest 10.8.5 update on MacBook 5,1 third time reinstall OS.
    MB used as email and surfing tool when on vacation. Worked fine for months. Installed the latest security patch (update) and WiFi quit working. Two days later (still on vacation) WiFi started working again and worked fine for the next 2 days.
    Came home and formatted and reinstalled 10.8.5 and all was fine again. We are selling the MacBook and setup new user, everything worked fine.
    The update came up again so I decided to install it and WiFi instantly stopped working after the restart.
    Does anybody have any idea what is happening.
    Thanks

    Not really, although WiFi has been a longstanding problem for lots of people. I fix for some breaks others.
    However, if you are trying to sell it, you need to revert it back to the OS that shipped with it. You cannot sell your copy of Mountain Lion with the Mac. It is only licensed to you.
    You also need to include the system disks that came with the Mac. If it came with Leopard (10.5), and you have a Snow Leopard (10.6) disk, you can install that if you provide that disk also.

  • Upgraded to Windows 10: Wifi Stops Working after about 20 minutes operation

    Upgraded to windows 10. Everything was working fine. Then WIFI stops working. I reboot and again, things are fine then as the computer goes to sleep, WiFi stops working and won't reconnect unless I reboot. All other computers in the house using either Windows 7 or 8.1 are connecting just fine. Need some help or I'll roll back to 8.1. This is frustrating to say the least.  

    I have a HP pavilion X2 (10-j000na) which I have upgraded to Windows 10 and I have the same issue. Every so often the wifi signal is lost. When I go to the device manager it says there is an error with the driver for the Broadcom 802.11 abgn Wireless SDIO adapter. The only way to resolve this issue at the moment is to uninstall the driver and then re-installing it using the latest Windows 8 driver (sp68594.exe) in compatability mode for Windows 8.
    But even then it is only a matter of time before the driver corrupts again and needs re-installing. We need an updated driver for Windows 10 and fast!

  • Wifi stopped working after upgrade, Asus N13

    Hi,
    A couple of days ago my wireless stopped working after I ran a full upgrade.  I have tried to identify the problem to no avail.  I attempted to use the Ralink drivers for my chipset rt3072 but those worked very poorly compared to the rt2800usb driver in the kernel and it kept freezing my system.

    I tried using wireshark in monitor mode on another computer to capture the exchange for authentication.  I can see my computer request authentication and I can see the router reply back.  The reply is an authentication successful message, but then my computer immediately tries to authenticate again.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi,
    I have the same device and a similar issue.
    Connection works but pinging the router shows extremely high ping (over 3000ms) and high packet loss, especially when the network is under load.
    The connection drop randomly and wont reconnect until I manualy unplug and replug the usb device.
    Downgrading the kernel fixed the problem.
    Which kernel version did you downgrade to?
    I also have the same device at home and I might face the same problem when I go back home next month.

  • My wifi stopped working after a update last year and I have updated since, can this be fixe

    MMy wi fi stopped working after a update early last year and I have just made do since then by using i pad at home. I was going to upgrade my phone but need to clarify if it was the upgrade that broke my wifi and can it be fixed? I have heaed of Apple replacing phones affected by this problem. Please help

    Try the suggestions here to see if they resolve your problem:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1559
    If those solutions don't work your iPhone 4s has developed a hardware problem. The permanent solution is to get it replaced. I have not heard of Apple replacing long out of warranty iPhones.
    You can search the internet for heating and freezing solutions that might work (at least for a while).
    For example, see here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nj10bz5bI6A

  • "itunes has stopped working" after connecting ipad mini to computer Windows 7

    itunes can play 2 out of 10 movies already on my computer. Otherwise, when I start to play the other movies, I get the notice itunes has stopped working etc.
    Quicktime Player VERSION 7.7.4 can get to the Apple Store and order a movie.  But when I insert my Ipad mini, itunes IMMEDIATELY "itunes has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available."  
    I reinstalled lastest itunes 11.1.3  after uninstalling it, and placed it not on the C Drive, which is pretty full but on another drive. I use ImTooiTransferPlatinum to put muisc onto my ipad mini, not itunes.

    also when I open itunes in safemode (using shift+ctrl), it works normally...

  • All apps have stopped working after syncing with itunes

    Hello everyone,
    Extremely frustrated to find that after plugging my iphone into my comp for the first time since i've had it (about 3 months). I knew I had a good reason for avoiding plugging my iphone into the comp, because I have 2 other ipods and hate the way itunes tries to take over and do everything. No, i'm quite happy to manual manage the files on it. Especially when irritating things like this happen.
    So I plugged it in for the first time on Saturday, and guess what, now NONE of my apps work anymore. Seems to be a common problem that no one at apple cares to admit. (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=8294502) this old thread details the problem I am having. Now the apps start to open and close and dont work. Awesome.
    I would've been more than happy to eat humble pie if i'd done ANYTHING dodgy to this iphone, but I haven't, and apples OWN device controlling application destroyed the functionality of the device, which I now have to figure out how to fix myself. Of course, apple wouldn't have any documentation on this issue.
    Its sad really as up till now Ive had a flawless experience with the device and enjoyed everything about it, mostly how it works so well and everything is easy to do. Extremely irritated about this - will be telling everyone who cares about this experience.
    Now, apple, or more like apples forum goers, how do i fix what itunes has done???

    Three days and no response, 3 others mentionining same problem.
    Apple clearly do not care about customers or have any interests in bug fixing their own software. This is clearly a widespread problem which has nothing to do with user software, the bug is in iTunes and apple dont even care to admit it or fix it. It doesn't even look like they monitor their support forums at all!
    I was considering buyign a macbook. Ha ha ha. Good luck. Not anymore.
    Have even called support and Apple are USELESS and I will not forget this experience, as will my friends.
    My advice? Get an android phone... we all know that it will only take a month or two till google gets a much bigger app library. Hey and guess what - they'll let you maintain your phone manually if you want, and dont force you through some stupid clunky, resource intensive, bug filled program which makes everything stop working. Exactly what it did to me on first connection.

  • TS2972 Home Sharing with ATV stopped working after upgrade to iTunes 11

    After upgrading to iTunes 11, my two PCs are no longer visible to Apple TV or the iOS Remote App.  I went through all the steps in "Troubleshooting Home Sharing" http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2972 without success.  In additions, I tried:
    Turning Home Sharing off, then on again on both PCs
    Re-created Firewall rules for iTunes
    Ran a factory reset on Apple TV
    Disabled iPV6 on the network adapter, based on a blogger's fix for an iTunes 10 problem
    Some other observations:
    Home Sharing was working with Apple TV an hour before I ran the updates for iTunes 11 and Apple TV. 
    The Apple TV and iOS Remote App are working together, so the network settings must be correct.
    The PCs in question are running Window 8 Pro 64-bit and Windows 7 Pro 64-bit
    The two PCs can see eachother's iTunes.
    It seems likely this is an iTunes 11 issue, but upgrading ATV2 at the same time clouds the diagnostics.
    I was just about to order two more Apple TVs, but now have second thoughts now that my ATV2 is just a doorstop. 
    Any suggestions? 

    You are not alone with issues related to the e1000e (but all they concluded was that reloading the module makes it work again):
    https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=145564
    It seems like this is more your issue:
    http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux. … devel/8932
    But if none of those boot flags work for you, then there's not much you can do, and you'll have to write a script to reload the module each time after initial boot finishes I guess until the module gets fixed.
    Also, power management of the PCIe interface causes the e1000e to shut off after a while as well (lots of people on CentOS noticing this):
    http://serverfault.com/questions/226319 … ie-aspm-do
    So you can use that boot parameter to stop that from happening, if that becomes an issue for you as well.

  • Itunes stops working when connecting to itunes store

    I just accepted an upgrade to itunes today and since then I can open itunes, but the moment I try to connect to the itunes store it stops working and is closed by Windows. I have unistalled itunes and all linked software and reinstalled, but to no avail!!

    Courtesy of another user, and because the Devs are useless, I'm copy/pasting the fix from another thread that only iTunes users figured out

    Re: itunes 11 crashes when accessing the itunes store
    Sep 25, 2013 7:21 PM (in response to DonInDassel)
    OK - here's the fix!  If you are running iTunes 11 on Windows 8 and iTunes crashes when you go to the iTunes store, you just need to copy a dll file:
    Dopying the QTMovieWin.dll from c:\program files (x86)\common files\apple\apple application support\ INTO c:\program files (x86)/iTunes"

  • WiFi stops working after every update on iMac

    I am hoping someone can help me out with this.  After several months of trying to figure out what was causing the issue I have finally been able to figure it out and reproduce it.  This problem is that after each and every update from Apple on my 2012 iMac, it breaks my wifi for every other device (macbook pro, iphone 5, ipad 3, ps3, dvd, etc).  The network still shows, but no device can connect to it.  The only one that will remain connected is the iMac (no ethernet cables used).  In order to fix it I have to press and hold the reset button on the modem/router.  Going into the router/modem and resetting the wifi, modules, router, etc does not fix the problem.  Once I hold the reset button down and reboot the modem/router all is fine until I do any other update from Apple (or the Apps Store).  Has anyone else encountered this or know of a fix (or even somethign to test)?  Both the macbook pro and the imac are running Mountain Lion, all other devices are up to date as well.  This is beyond frustrating! 
    Thanks!

    also i noticed that once i switch on my airplane mode and then connect to the wifi it works great as ever. but once i go back to normal made again the same problem occurs. can somebody plz help me.

  • Airtunes stopped working after updating to itunes 12.0.1

    After updating to 12.0.1.26 from 11.something on a windows 8.1 Vaio Pro pc, I only get the error message "an error occurred while connecting to the AirPlay device (embarrassing name)The network connection failed."  when trying to play music on an old Airport device.  The internet connection is fine on the pc, os and drivers are up to date, and airport continues to work perfectly in my ipod touch, which sadly has become my new home stereo until Apple fixes this.  Please please do fix, we really depend on streaming music/podcasts/internet radio at our house.

    The latest version of itunes (12.1.0.71) completely remedied the problem!  Thanks for listening.
