Wifi with iphone and touch- safari problems- internet sharing solved.
This has probably been mentioned before but if you are one of the poor sods like me who spent hours trying to figure out why your iphone or ipod touch would connect to your wifi (via mac internet sharing) but safari would never find web pages then here is the solution.....
buy leopard.
i spent countless hours reading forums, messing with settings on mac and iphone and the best it would ever work for would be about 5 seconds then stop, it drove me insane. for the life of me i had no idea why my iphone would not work properly with my mac mini.
'when you tried to share your internet connection via airport iphone would find it but safari wouldnt work'.
so, i bought leopard the other day (upgraded from tiger) and it worked perfect 1st time and still does, no issues at all.
i know this has probably been mentioned but i wanted to save some time and tears for those who have not yet found the solution, but unfortunatly its spending £85.
cheers
Could be a GMail setting, but my GMail works just fine. You might try removing your GMail account again and re-add it as an Exchange Account rather than using the standard GMail profile:

This has the advantage of keeping your Google contacts and calenders in sync with your iPhone, but it may also get around whatever GMail problem you're having.

Keep losing my secure wifi with iPhone and ipad with newest iOS update. PC still connected
Keep losing my secure wifi on my ipad and iphone with newest iOS update. My PC is still connected to same secure wifi. Any ideas.
Contact xFinity (Comcast) to turn off dynamic channel switching if on and have it set to a fixed channel.
Usually WiFi routers will only change channels to the least busy when they are initially powered up. -
Help me with my ipod touch Safari problem!
Hi,
The safari app on me ipod touch works not so fine, it can surf the website, the only problem is, when I am using the Safari app, for every 10-15 minutes, it just jump out of Safari and go to home screen, and I have to press Safari again to reload the sites, and then in 10m, it jumps out of Safari again, it's just annoying me, anyone has any idea about this?Unfortunately, this is a common problem. You can always try resetting or restoring, but it might keep happening.
It's been discussed ad nauseum already, though, so try a forum search.
Hope this helps. -
how do i get my own icloud rather than share my wifes it is my itunes account
but icloud refuses unless i use the tick***@whatever it is i dont want to use that it is her email address understand what i say.
You need her to sign out of your account using the button with sign out written on it.
Then sign in using her account details. If she doesn't have an account, use the create Apple ID link in the set up window. -
Face time fades out and then retries to connect (new Ipad Retina Display) on WiFi. Iphone 4s has no problem with face time from same location and same contact. What gives?
rdallas001 wrote:
Is the router to small?
Not necessarily, if you are using Facetime all the data goes through your WiFi router, your cable/DSL modem, your ISP and the internet to Apple's Facetime servers and then, in reverse, down to the Facetime recipient. If your ISP connection is too slow or there is excessive traffic on the internet you can have Facetime problems.
Most WiFi routers can handle this unless others in the house are also using WiFi at the same time. The problem may be your ISP connection or congestion on the internet, etc. -
I have my daughters Ipod, my iphone, my wife's Iphone and Ipad on the one Apple ID. Since the latest update we are receiving Imessages from our daughter's Ipod with my wife's caller ID on the one message strand.
Is it possible to differentiate between all the devices?Can I fix this problem?I recommend that you
Create a NEW account/ID for her using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before.
Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card
Use the new ID on her iPod but only for:
Settings>Messages>Send and Receive
Settings>FaceTime
and Settings>iCloud if you want her to have separate Contacts Calendar and some other things.
Continue to use the same/common Apple ID for Settings>iTunes and App stores so you can share purchases. -
I have Mac itunes and a touch 2G. My wife has Win7 and touch 4G (both iOS 4.2.1). She got a new iphone, I now have her touch 4G, and am trying to sync it to my Mac itunes. The music and videos sync to the 4G, but apps & podcast will not. All are checked to sync. During sync, it gets to "determining apps to sync" then immediately goes to "finished syncing". No apps or podcasts from my Mac itunes are on the touch 4G.
You can only sync to one iTunes library but you can manage music and videos among different computer/libraries.
It appears that you are trying to sync with a different library.
- If you want to make the Mac you syncing computer:
--- Connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by:
iOS: How to back up
--- Restore the iPod from that backup. Note that synced media like apps and music are not in included in the backup. -
hi guys, I was presented with iPhone and then I rewrote the program, but right now, the ability to such a problem ..... want username and password
I don't understand. What "program" do you mean, and what do you mean by "rewrote"? If you mean that the iPhone has Activation Lock - that is, you restored the iPhone and now it's asking for the previous owner's Apple ID and password to activate the device - then you will need that information, or you'll need to get the previous owner to remove the device from his/her iCloud account:

If you can't reach the previous owner or he/she is unwilling to cooperate, then the device is unusable by you.

Have a MacBook Pro running 10.5.8 Leopard. Can I just download 10.6.8 Snow Leopard so I can wifi sync with iPhone and iPad?
To expand on Niels post...
First you need to check that your current Mac meets the System Requirements for Snow Leopard...
Snow Leopard Specs:
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
If it does... then you need to Purchase and Install the Snow Leopard Disc,
Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard
( It should be noted that Apple will send paid MobileMe members the Mac OS X 10.6 DVD for free.) -

The warranty will apply to the country of purchase. And if there is a problem needing repair you have to return it to the country of purchase.

IPad 3 with iOS 6 fails to connect to WiFi with WPA2 and AES - any solutions available?
Hello *,
after upgrading my iPad 3 to iOS 6 it constantly fails to connect to WiFi with WPA2 and AES - hidden or broadcasted SSID - at home and at work because the device does not accept the WPA2 password. This is also the case for my iPhone 4S but both devices did work with WiFi (WPA2 / AES) perfectly with previously installed iOS 5.1.1.
I tried to downgrade to iOS 5.1.1 but it seems to be no longer possible to downgrade for both iPad 3 and iPhone 4S as the certification and signage window for iOS 5.1.1 maybe has been closed by Apple.
Does anyone know about a possible solution to connect to WiFi with WPA2 and AES with iPad 3 / iPhone 4S and iOS 6 upgrade?
Thank you very much for any help and advise.
Best regards from Germany

Additional things to try.
Try this first. 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.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
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
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

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.
