WiFi (WLAN) problem - in the same room a iOS 5 device connects, iOS 6 not

Hi all,
I won't say that it's a proof for the iOS 6 WiFi/WLAN problem. BUT, it's evident that my iPhone 4 with iOS 5 sees all WLAN-networks and connects - my new iPad with iOS 6 doesn't! And I'm using the two devices in the same room. In addition my new iPad didn't have connection problems before updating to iOS 6.
Apple Software Engineers - please help and release the next update to fix it
Best regards
O.

I have received notification that the "Complete My Album", Music Speaks by Candice Glover is now available to download. I have three devices that are all enabled to receive automatic downloads. My problem is the same on all three devices.
Only 0.05 minutes download on each song with the exception of the original song purchase: I Am Beautiful. What needs to be done to solve this problem?

It seems that I have solved my issue by performing a full factory reset (erasing all content, something which I had hoped to avoid) restoring from an iCloud backup did not alleviate the issue, I had to set up as a new iPad.
Hopefully anyone else else who has this issue in the future will be able to find this.

Can't send attachments to my wife who is in the same room. She gets the message without attachments

My wife's computer is about 6 feet from mine. I can send her mail but not attachments. She can send me mail and attachments. I can not figure out what changes i need to make to send attachments. I use apple mail software.

What Mac OS version is on each computer?
If both are running Mail, you may get faster help by posting in the forum for that OS version:
Mac OS X v10.7 Lion
Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard
Mac OS X v10.5 Leopard
Mac OS X v10.4 Tiger
Look for the "Mail & Address Book" section of each forum that matches your OS.
This forum is primarily for hardware issues with iMacs made before 2006 so doesn't get as much traffic.

How can I transfer files from my computer to my wifes computer wirelessly in the same room?

Thanks,
Doug Miura

If both computers can get on the Internet without moving from where they are, just enable File Sharing. Or use this illustrated guide wriiten by the late James Pond:

ITunes Match doesn't work at times- in the same room (on Wifi) I will add a song to my playlist on the iMac- instantly it appears on my iPad but not on my iPhone 6plus

ITunes Match is extremely unpredictable- in the same room of my house on the same WiFi- all my devices are up to date (software wise). I will add a song on my iMac 27". To a playlist I created- Instantly the song shows in the playlist on my IPad Air2. But it does NOT show in my playlist on my iPhone 6plus- I reboot everything- even do a hard-wired sync- it just won't appear- sometimes- frustrated with the time I am wasting I just email (from my iMac) the song to myself so that I can play it on my iPhone 6Plus- I create a lot of music on my iMac using Logic Pro- and there are times I want to have the process (songs in the marking) available on my iPhone so I can play them while driving, etc., extremely frustrating as this issue is very new - had no problems for months and months but now I do- I rebooted everything (phone, etc.,) created a new play list-and then it appeared on the iPhone in the new playlist- BUT if I want to add a song to the new playlist- same situation- never appears on the iPhone but does appear on my iPad IMac and MacBook Pro- ITunes Match is turned on- I am on the same WiFi FAST network at my house- Any ideas ?

Hi Rob- I'm guessing it has something to do with all the update stuff Apple keeps doing (with Yosemite, etc.,) extremely frustrating - also whenever I load up iTunes on any of my devices- I am asked to enter my passcode- which I will do- then I am asked to do it 2 or 3 more times - right after the other- crazy how annoying something like that can be- I have looked online for solutions- i.e. close out of the account, reset the passcode- all of it- nothing seems to fix that situation either- what I have discovered (playing around) is on my iPhone 6+ if I go to settings and turn OFF iTunes match- then turn it back ON- suddenly all the music that wasn't loaded shows up magically- but I had to do that each time I'd update songs in my playlist on the iMac- then go to the iPhone and turn off the match- then turn it back on- almost like it is resetting things-

My iphone5 is in the same room with an ipad, 2 kindles and 2 iphone4S and it's the only one that does not have a wifi signal. pls help

why does my iphone5 not have the same wifi coverage as 2 other iphone4s in the same room?

Try restarting your iPhone by holding down the on/off and the home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple Logo. If you are still not able to connect try resetting your network settings. Go into your settings>general>reset then tap reset network settings. If both fail to fix your problem try restarting your router.

IPad2 will not connect to wifi unless it is in the same room

I live in the UK.
Yesterday I bought a new ipad2.
It will only connect to my wifi when it is in the same room.
When it is less than 2 metres form the router, it drops one bar, and when I go out of the room it drops connection completely.
I have an iphone and that connects to wifi from anywhere in the house.
I connect to wifi via BT and a BT router.
Please does anyone have amy suggestions to help?
Thank you.

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

My macbook is connecting to a wifi network, but my ipad in the same room does not recognize it.

my macbook is connecting to a wifi network, but my ipad in the same room does not recognize it. I have reset the ipad settings, etc. Any ideas?

Try a restart of your entire system. Shut down both your modem and your router if they are two separate devices. Then restart each item one at a time with about three minutes between each device.
Also reset the iPad by pressing and holding the Start and Home keys together, ignoring there'd slider until the Apple logo appears.

Murder on the Airport Express (AE 1st Gen cannot find Wireless while plugged in in the same room as the modem, router and Time Capsule

First, the reason for my compounded frustration:
I wrote a lengthy, comprehensive post on this late last night. I submitted it and received a notice at this URL:
https://discussions.apple.com/___sbsstatic___/maintenance.html?start=0&tstart=0
It gave a message: "A yellow sticky bearaing the words, "We'll be back soon." and a typed message reading, "We are busy updating Apple Support Communities for you and will be back shortly." Needless to say, it never came back. This morning as I began trying to reconstruct the very detailed post I wrote last night, the Communities system offered me an opportunity to restore the post from last night. Sadly, it contained only a portion of the first line.
I'm going to try it again. The problem inherent in putting it all in words last night, is that I no longer remember the exact wording of the error messages.
I've never gotten this Airport Express (1st gen, purchased mid 2010) to work. I thought it was working, but working poorly. A green light on the device is, apparently, NOT an indication of connection to the wireless. It wasn't workingl.
Description of devices which use the network:
I have a Broadband network with a modem.
It is connecteed to my 2T Timecapsule (purchased mid 2010).
Connected to that is a 24 port Cisco Router.
Not connecting to that, though showing a solid green light, is my Airport Express (1st Generation, purchased mid 2010)
Connected to the router are many ethernet cables giving hard-wired access to:
Printers (HP 8600 Pro purchased 2012))
MacBook Pro (purchased mid 2010) and
IMAC (purchased mid 2010).
3 Apple TV devices (1st generation purchased early 2011)
1 Apple TV device (2nd generataion purchased August 2012)
Connecting to the Wireless Network are IOS devices (current IOS versions on all)
iPad 2nd generation (purchased the day it was available)
iPad 3rd generation (purchased the day it was available)
iPod (mid 2010)
iPhones (4S)
Description of Layout of Network/House
My home is approximately 70 feet by 25 feet.
All Networking hardware is at one end of the house, the south side.
Airport Express (1st Gen, 2010) has been placed in the middle of the house to boost the wireless access at the north end of the house.
Ethernet cables are installed under flooring with cable ends extending up through flooring, and are availble to all devices with Ethernet ports..
Description of Problem
Investigation of the wireless access dysfunction with the iPad (2nd generation, mid 2010) revealed no connection to the Wireless Network, in spite of glowing green light on Airport Express and Airport Utility screen.
Description of actions taken to correct the problem
Loaded Airport Utility on MacBook Pro.
Airport Express shows green light on screen.
Double clicked on Airport Express Icon
Message that Airport Express was unable to extend the network
Message changes suddenly to something about not finding the Airport Express
Airport Utility searches Airport Express, attempting to read its settings
Message appears: Device not found. Airiport Express was previously part of the network, and offers to let me "forget" the base station.
I exit the error message.
A yellow triangle bearing an exclamation point sits to the left of the Airport Express' Description
Airport Express shows green light (as always)
Clicking the link, "Other AirPort Base Stations" indicates no base stations can be found.
Moved Airport Express to the room at the south end of the house containing all network devices
Plugged it in with clear, completely unobstructed view of Time Capsule.
Light on Airport Express flashes yellow and then turns solid green (like always)
Bring Mac into the room at the south end of the house containing all network devices and the Airport Express with the green light
Close Airport Utility on Mac
Reboot Mac
Open Airport Utility on Mac
Airport Express still shows as it did in 1.1.7. above.
Attempts to check Airport Express' access to Wireless network:
Unplugged Airport Express HEY! THE GREEN LIGHT WENT OUT!!! ;0)
Disconnected all Ethernet cables.
Tested ALL devices for Wireless access.
All devices access the Wireless network extremely well (dot and three curved bars) EXCEPT
IOS Devices tested at the north end of the house. These devices show a blank where the wireless bars should be, and intermittently show a dot.
Followed instructions contained in a similar discussion about Airport Express not functioning:
Unplugged all Networking Hardware
Powered off all Equipment which access the Internet in any possible way.
Powered up all Networking Hardware, one at a time, in the order described in that discussion.
Powered up all Equipment which access the internet, one at a time.
Tested ethernet cablingAll equipment functioning.
Tested Wireless access:
Removed all ethernet cabling
All devices, including IOS devices, access the Wireless Network perfectly EXCEPT any placed in the north end of the house. Those perform exactly as they did in step 3.3.2.
Connected all ethernet cabling.
Plugged Airport Express into socket in the Network Hardware room at the south end of the house. I get exactlyt the same results as before. The lovely green light glows on the Airport Express. Airport Utility reports Airport Express cannot find the Wireless network and also says there are no base stations connected to the internet.
Still in Network Hardware room, I attempt to find other base stations by cabling the Airport Express to the MacBook Pro
Airport Utility shows Airport Express with a green light
I double click the Airport Express Icon
Box says connection is average and status is (green light) Extended Network.
I click Edit
I go through each tab. I note that in the Wireless tab, the Network Mode is as I had set it, "Extend a wireless network".
Under the Network tab I note that "Enable Access Control" is as it should be, NOT selected.
Under the AirPlay tab, I note that "Enable airPlay" is selected.
I click cancel and leave the Edit screens.
Curious to know if Airport Express can find the Wireless network now that the device claims to be functioning as an extended wireless network, I disconnect the ethernet cable from the Airport Express.
I watch the Airport Utility screen closely. Nothing is happening.
With bated breath, I double click on the Airport Express icon.
The popup box shows "extended wireless network"
I click on edit and we start the whole mess over again. (See 1.1-9. above)
Curious to know if cabling the Airport Express to the iMac (almost to middle of house) will offer hope and prosperity to IOS devices at north end, I unplug the Airport Express and carry its now-exhausted little body to the iMac, ethernet cable in hand.
As I unplug the iMac from its ethernet access, I'm informed by Cranky Boy that no way is he going to accept that as a reasonable solution to his problem. He will not live wireless while even one ethernet cable is poking up through a floorboard.
Cranky Boy is reassured when informed that, though the Airport Utility shows the Airport Express connected, merely double clicking on the icon produces the same result as laboriously described in 1.1-9. above.
After quieting Cranky Boy by reconnecting the iMac to the Ethernet, I return the Airport Express to the Network Hardware room.
Again, curious to know ... I reconnect the Airport Express to the MacBook Pro. I want to know if it will exrtend the Wireless network from its position one foot from the Wireless Network.
I close and reopen Airport Utility (as I always do, but forgot to write)
I click on the Airport Express icon (which bears a little green light like the other big boys).
BUT THIS TIME, when I click on the Airport Express icon, the pop-up box says my connection is Excellent, the green light status shows, "Extended Network" and clicking on "Extended Network" produces the same old `Airport Express was unable to extend the Wireless Connection.
I click on the Edit option.
I buzz through all the tabs. I cancel instead of update, leaving everything as it was (as I did the first time)
I decide to go back into edit and select "Internet Options" under the "Internet" tab.
Since I have no idea whatsoever as to what IPV6 is and what it governs, I decide to configure IPV6 to Automatically Connect and then, with a whole new set of opportunities, I leave IPV6 Mode set to "Tunnel" and then I learn that I will get to see what happens when "Enable IPV6 Connection Sharing" is enabled.
I check the other tabs to see if anything has changed in their menus
Jesus Saves and so did I.
Apple updates and so did I.
I am warned that my device and its network services will be temporarily unavailable if I continue.
It seems unaware that I am laughing uncontrollably at the suggestion that my device and its services will be TEMPORARILY AVAILABLE. What? An improvement in performance is warned?
Life continues and so do I.
I breathe deeply to decrease my adrenaline.
Airport Utility flashes a red warning next to the Airport Express Icon and then quickly rethinks the matter and decides to show it as connected.
I click on the Airport Express Icon. This time my connection is only "good".
I click on Extended Network. With a new-found consistency it informs me that my device is unable to extend the Wireless network and it chats with me about using the same Wireless password for my device that is used for the Wireless network access. I did. It is.
I change my settings back to the way they once were, I save like Jesus and Update like Apple
I decide to go back into Edit and modify the settings under the Wireless tab, changing from "Extend Wireless Network" to "Join Wireless Network".
I save.
I click on the Airport Express Icon. My connection has degraded further to "Average"
I click on edit just to see what will happen, but no further information is forthcoming. Settings are as I left them.
I wonder if the Airport Express would extend itself now that it has joined the Wireless Network.
I click the Airport Express Icon.
I click Edit
I change the Network Mode from "Join a Wireless Network" to Extend a Wireless Network. Unfortunately, there was no option for "don't forget where the Wireless Network is!"
I am still "unable to extend the Wireless network"
I disconnect the Airport Express from my MacBook Pro.
After closing and opening Airport Utility, I sit and stare at the Airport Express Icon.
It has no light or error messages
It has a yellow triangle with exclamation point
It has no light or error message
It has a yellow triangle with exclamation point
I finally decide to see what THIS error messages says. It says Device Not Found. Patti Harada's AirPort Express was previously part of your network. Check that it is still in range of your network and is plugged into a power outlet. Click Forget to remove this base station from this network."
I click "Forget". Airport Utility has forgotten the Airport Express ever existed. It has also forgotten how to find it again.
I, however, am unable to forget how much I shelled out for this POS and fear I will never recover from working this intensely and tediously on documenting something so hideously inconsistent in its test results.
I wonder if I should recable the Airport Express to my MacBook Pro
I decide I've had about enough.
I document this ad nauseum in the hopes that someone can read it THOROUGHLY and offer me a solution to my problem. What is my problem? I am so busy fighting off Alligators that I forgot I only came in to drain the swamp! Ah, but I remember now: Cranky Boy can't watch Netflix on his iPad (2nd generation) in the north end of the house.
Any solution that works will do. I'll buy another piece of whatever kind of equipment you think best.

Well, aren't you all that and a bag of chips!!!!
Oh what a relief! What a RELIEF!
That just cleaned up my life. And Cranky Boy is actually smiling!!!
Houston, we've got dots AND BARS!!!
P.S. All my firware and software are always current. If I spent as much time looking for a reset button as I spend checking for software updates, I mighta not needed to work at this!!!!
P.P.S. Airport Utility shows Cranky Boy's iPad as the Airport Express' Wireless Client!!! Who knew?
Thank you so much, m'Lord. I am in your debt. What would you have me do?

HT204053 My wife and I have iphones now. My apple ID went good. My wife tryed to use the same email address as her apple ID. The screen on her iphone said that she could but the option that she was supose to click on was not one of ther options. COTINUE w

My wife and I got iphones. Igot my apple ID set up fine. Having trouble setting up my wifesw. We only have 1 email account. The instructions say to use youe email account as your apple ID. I have done that. My wife tryede to enter the same apple ID. The instuctions say you can. It says press use the same. Then press continue. The only problem is that continue is not an option that is on that screen? Please help me with some good and easy fixes. THANKS

The problem is that all services are bundled with your Apple ID ([email protected]):
Your iCloud account (Mail, Contacts, Calendars, Reminders, Notes, Backups, etc.),
also iTunes & App Store purchases (Music, Movies, TV Shows, etc.),
and the iTunes Match services.
(I guess that all your devices - yours and your wife's are connected to one iTunes library, right?)
If you want that your wife gets her own iCloud account for Mail, Contacts, Calendars, etc. but gets also access to your media then you have two set up two things on her device:
iCloud (Settings > iCloud) with her account (e.g. [email protected])
and
iTunes & App Stores (Settings > iTunes & App Stores) with your account (e.g. [email protected]).
In this case she gets access to your library and could use the same iTunes Match account.

IPhone 4S doesen't connect to wi-fi unless it's in the same room. Please Help!!!

I have an iPhone 4S and i have recently upgraded to iOS 6.1.2 and I am experiencing problems with connecting to my home wi-fi. The iphone detects the wi-fi network (2 bars) from my room but when i click on it it says "unable to connect". The iphone only connects when i am in the same room as the wi-fi router. I thought it may be a signal strength issue, but my iPad and iPhone 4 both connect smoothly from my room and all other rooms and have no issues at all (Both running iOS 6.1.2).

I am having the same issues plus some. I have the S4 and after researching it here on Apple Support am convinced it was due to these last updates. So many comments with the same issues! I stopped by Sprint and asked how I could revert back or uninstall the updates. They informed me that wasn't possible and unless I was willing to shell out the cash to upgrade I was stuck with it. If this doesn't get resolved I will no longer be an Apple user of any sort. It's just not right!

Can I have 2 HD DVRs in the same room, and control them separately?

New FIOS TV being installed in two weeks, making the switch from Dish Network.
If I have two DVRs in the ame room, and two remotes, can the remotes be set up to work with each DVR separately, or will one remote cause both DVRs to respond? WIth my Dish Network DVRs, I can set a remote code for each - can I do the same with the two DVRs I'll be receiving?
Thanks!

The TiVo doesn't do Video-on-Demand, but you would still have the Verizon DVR for that.
Since you can control multiple TiVos from a single remote in the same room, you could add a second TiVo if you needed three DVRs.
Message Edited by DallasTX on 12-06-2008 06:39 AM
As it seems that all the shows I want to watch are on at the same time, having two DVRs (4 tuners) would resolve the "what to record" problem I keep running into. The fact that you can control two TiVo DVRs with one remote is a great plus. However, how did you hook both of your DVRs to one set?

My wife and I share the same email address and Apple ID. We are not able to send and receive Text Messages to one another.

My wife and I share the same email address and Apple ID. We are not able to send and receive Text Messages to one another. Is the cause of this because we share the same Apple ID? Will we have to set up 2 separate primary email addresses to be able to send and receive Tex Messages to one another? Like I said, we share the same email address and woul like to keep it that way to keep up with our email together. Is there a way to by-pass having to set up 2 primary emaill addresses if this is the problem?
Thanks.

go to the settings and turn off imessage
but that don't change the issue that you will never be able to facetime eachtoher
the appleID is really meant as the handle that identify you it was not meant to be shared
but can see that people may want to do not buy apps more then once

Hi all, i can't sync over wifi between my iPhone 4 and Windows 7 64 bit, wifi sync works with the same phone and my Windows 8 machine, tried solutions from other threads with no luck, just thought i'd see if anyone else had any ideas, thanks.

Hi all, i can't sync over wifi between my iPhone 4 and Windows 7 64 bit, wifi sync works with the same phone and my Windows 8 machine so the problem seems confined to Windows 7. I've tried solutions from other threads -
Making sure everything is allowed through firewall
Rebooting phone/laptop/router
Disabling ipv6
Disabling all networks except the one curently on
Re-installing iTunes
Restoring iPhone
No luck with any of those unfortunately so i just thought i'd see if anyone else is still without wifi sync after trying those as well and if you ever found a fix, thanks.

I just wanted to leave a note that it's working now. I'm not sure if it was the latest iTunes update that got it working or that i decided to start a new library instead of using the one i had backed up on Windows 8 (it didn't occur to me to check using the old library when i re-installed iTunes). But if anyone is having this problem, it might be worth trying again with a new installation of iTunes to see if the latest update works for you, and if not, try using a fresh library instead of a backup (by fresh library i mean discard your old library completely and start a new library, not just restore as new iPhone, a whole new library).

Curious why iMessage only works between my iPhone 4 and iPad 2 about 30-40% of the time even when they are in the same room?

I have an iPhone 4 and iPad 2 that seem to only sync iMessage about 30-40 % of the time. Some times I'll come home from work and my conversations are there and then they stop when I'm in the same room. If I start on the pad it works about 70-80% of the time. It is quite annoying seeing I got this silly thing so when home I can leave the phone and work load on the pad. Can anyone help. I'm going to bring up to Apple when I get a chance to go to a store but for now I thought I'd try this. Just in case, my wifi connection in house is also an apple product so this makes even less sense.
Thanks

If the Apple ID is waiting for verification and you haven't received the email with the verification link, you could try going to https://appleid.apple.com/, click on Manage My Account to the right, sign in, under your primary email address click on "verify now", which should resend the verification email. This is from Apple:
I didn't receive a verification email (within 48 hours).
Sign in with your Apple ID account and resend the notification. Search all of your mail folders for any emails coming from 'apple.com'.
I didn't receive a verification email (more than 48 hours).
You'll need to restart the registration process. You can reuse the same account information.
