Wifi worked great, now hardly at all

When I got my router, for about 2 weeks, the IPOD worked great with it, I could watch tv shows online, cartoon network. etc., all of a sudden it quit working well.  I can still get on the internet, but anything to do with tv shows, or movies online, I even downloaded the 'Daily Bread' app, and it's supposed to read the daily devotion, and it just doesn't work.  I need to emphasize that it worked fine for a couple weeks, and there were  no other changes, so what happened?  Yesterday I downloaded all the new software, Itunes, etc., so everthing was reloaded, and it still doesn't work.  I've reset the network, also.  Oh, and during the time it was working, I could download apps from the app store with no problem, and now cannot do that.  help

Add me to the 'same problem' thread. It would connect, briefly, then stop working. Sometimes it would work fine for 15 minutes straight, then when I reboot or take it out of sleep model it won't connect. Bars show full strength signal, just a 'server' message as everyone else received. Although I seem to have fixed it for the time being. I have a NetGear WGR614 router. As soon as I updated the firmware this afternoon my touch has connected via wifi flawlessly. We'll see if it holds up. I also found this link somewhere to change the DNS settings for those who had this same problem with their iPhone, might be worth a try:

  • HT4528 My wife had a problem with her iPhone 5C with no voice on th Maps app.  I visited my local Apple store and they said the problem was in iCloud.  We did a new install and it works great now.  Now my iPhone 5 has the same problem.

    My wife had a problem with her iPhone 5C with no voice on the Maps app.  I visited my local Apple store and they said the problem was in iCloud.  We did a new install and it works great now.  Now 4 days later my iPhone 5 that is tied to the same iCloud has the same problem with the Maps app.  I really don't want to go through a new set-up with my iPhone 5.  What's going on with iCloud?

    I had major issues with the iPhone 4s battery, however it’s resolved.
    The tech who set the phone up at the Apple store did so with little training.
    if you have a mobile me account. First go and move all your data to the cloud by going on your computer and logging in at me.com/move. The cloud has replaced mobile me, so there is no need for those two accounts
    Also make sure that for any of your email accounts you set them up to fetch, not push. My tech person set them all to have the email servers push data to the phone. The new iphone4s antenna is extremely strong so it will continually try to access stuff that is pushed–***** a lot of battery life doing this. It makes it worse if you have exchange 2010 accounts. Something about changes made to exchange really suck battery life from devices that access such accounts.
    turning of locator and the push notifications from facebook--they have a lot!

    Did you enter the last three digits on the back of the card for Visa or Master or the 4 digit # on the front of Amex?

  • My iMessage says that I can't login due to network connection issues, but my WiFi works great. Now I can't sign in to iMessage, how do i fix this?

    Whenever I try to sign in to my iMessage, it says check your network connection and try again. Well, my WiFi works fine and I am updated to the latest software update(iOS 7.1.1). How should I fix this to sign in?

    Try these suggestions in this order.
    Check Settings>General>Date & Time>Set Automatically>On. Make sure that the time zone setting is also set correctly.
    If that didn't solve the problem, restart your iPad and try again. If that fails, reset your iPad and try again.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • Personal domain redirect worked great - now both are down???

    Please, someone maybe here is having this problem? I used iweb/mobile me to publish to my personal domain www.fashionthathappened.com. Had that all set up great with no issues. A week later, bought a name domain for my resume & tacked that on the back end... spent a while on the boards learning about masking - which all worked out great (I used google apps/eNom for the domain registry). So I changed what I needed to on eNom to redirect the URL. Everything was working great. Noticed though that one of my pages that isn't passworded is somehow coming up with an admin password request when you click on the link, or type the address. Then day before yesterday I noticed that my site wasn't coming up right when I went to my resume... then yesterday nothing. both domains are now down. I've tried everything I could find on the boards - but maybe I'm missing something simple? I don't know how to fix a problem that I have no idea what's causing. I didn't change anything. Anyone have suggestions or mind helping me out???

    Can you still get to both your sites via your MobileMe url? That is http://web.me.com/username/sitename?
    If you can, your sites are still published to MobileMe and the Apple servers, so the problem does not lie here. If you have used CNAME and web forwarding, then this problem would seem to lie with your domain name registrar/host. Perhaps if their servers go down, the forwarding that you have set up does not work.
    Have you set up your first site using CNAME forwarding and the second using masked web forwarding?

  • Sync with .mac never seemed to work great, now won't work at all

    sync never seemed to work that well for me, now it won't work at all. I get the following message now:
    .Mac Sync Error
    A failure occurred while synchronizing the .Mac Sync Client.
    I've tried reseting all the .mac stuff, but nothing seems to work now. Its pretty frustrating. Plus, while mac support in the store and over the phone is superb, .mac support online is a joke. Doesn't anyone have any suggestions?

    With the exception of a framework reset, iSync no longer has anything to do with .Mac synchronization, which is instead handled exclusively by .Mac Sync.
    I would start with a search of this forum for the error messages you describe:
    http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=957
    Some of the same users who answer questions here regarding iSync, also do that there for users of .Mac Sync.

  • File sharing works great - now how do I get printer sharing working?

    Hello everyone.
    This is my first post so please bear with me. I've been searching the archives for a similar problem but couldn't find anything that helps.
    I have a MacBook running OS X 10.4.11 and an HP running Windows Vista Home Premium. This past week I've got my home network up and running via a wireless router, and now I can access the Mac from my HP, and I can access the HP's public folder from my Mac. Hooray.
    Now I would like to be able to print wirelessly from my Mac to a printer that is connected to the HP.
    The printer in question is a Canon PIXMA ip4500. It is installed on both machines and works fine when connected to either by USB. Printer sharing is turned on on the HP, and also this specific printer is shared if you look at the properties box in Vista.
    On my mac, I open the Print & Fax box from System Preferences, then Add Printer > More Printers... I have set the first box to Windows Printing and the second box to Workgroup, and this brings up two items:
    Ridlingtonspa (this is the name for my HP)
    Sarah-Allmans-C (a truncated form of the name of the Mac)
    I thought the correct thing to do here would be to choose Ridlingtonspa to bring up the printer on that machine, but when I do that I am prompted with a dialogue box:
    Connect to the printer "Ridlingtonspa" as:
    Name:
    Password:
    This is a little confusing as the printer doesn't have a username and password as far as I am aware. Also, as I say, that's the name of the HP not the printer. Anyway, I have tried my login details for the HP and that doesn't work. I have also tried the login details for the Mac and that doesn't work. Each time I get the message:
    Unable to connect to server with the provided password and user name.
    Error 256
    Does anyone have any ideas? This is really frustrating!
    Many thanks in advance for your help.
    Rhyd

    Unplug your printer from your HP and use ??built in Wi-Fi that your printer has?? a usb Wi-Fi printer dongle?? Return your wireless router and get {http://www.apple.com/airportextreme/} and share many usb devices over the wi-fi network (need a powered hub for more than one usb device)?? or go to a big box store ( saw one at staples ) and get a device that is designed for 2 computers to use one printer.
    How it works; USB cables one from PC, one from Mac plug into this box then one usb cable comes out and plug into your printer. Looks like a " Y " connection when your done. ( PS: usb cables not supplied)
    Made by Belkin I believe.
    PS: I had your problem till I bought a Prof Biz color all in one from Minolta /Bizhub 20 and Network the printer. So many choices, I picked the oldest device and replaced it and glad i did.
    Good Luck

  • HT4972 why doesnt my wifi work anymore now that i downloaded the new update?

    after updating my phone to the new ios 6 the wifi doesnt work any more? any ideas on how to fix it?

    Is a Norton update available yet?
    If not, here's the process to roll back:
    First, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
    Next, download and save Firefox 3.6 to your desktop for future installation. http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all-older
    Close Firefox 4.
    You could install Firefox 3.6 over it (many have reported success) or you could uninstall Firefox first. If you uninstall, do not remove your personal data and settings, just the program.
    Unless you have installed an incompatible add-on, Firefox 3.6 should pick up where you left off. If there are serious issues, please post back with details.
    Note: I haven't actually tried this myself!

  • IPad WiFi works great

    Not all iPads are having this WiFi issue, not mine at least. I'm getting 7.168 Mbps down and 1.2 up on my iPad. I turned off "Ask to Join Networks" just to see what would happen but I saw only a slight jump from that. The speeds I'm seeing are the max limit of my service.
    I have a Netgear WG302 WAP and a D-Link ANT24-0700 antenna plugged into it. I'm using speedtest (free app) to test speed. I'm using WPA - TKIP on the WAP. The orientation of the iPad does not seem to effect my rates or signal strength (it's always three bars). So the Al back cover does not appear to have any impact on my signal strength. Or that D-link antenna is simply blasting through it.
    Hope this data helps!
    Eric

    I just tested my ipad 20 feeet away as to get best results and i get
    10m up and 10m down
    Using the dsl reports safari test i get 11m up and 11m down
    My home network setup is

  • Cannot open pdf documents. used to work well. now not at all.

    Click on document and returns warning message to download software. I do that and warning says cannot download software as it is already on this computer.

    You need to do as Jerry suggests because after the upgrade you very likely still have the old version of Numbers on your Mac. The new Numbers 3.1 is in your main Applications folder. The old version is in a subfolder within Applications named iWork '09.  You can use both versions.  But you can't use the old version to open a document that has been created or edited in the new version (or in Numbers for iOS).

  • New solid state hard drive works great but boots slow

    I just bought the kit from MCE technologies to replace my optical drive with a SSD. Everything is working great now, but they said that it runs better if the Bootable SSD is in the optical bay instead of the original hard drive location (and my secondary drive is in the original HD location). It seems to boot kind of slow initially and I'm wondering if the computer is looking at the regular hard drive in the original HD bay to boot, and not finding that it's bootable, and then moving onto the secondary device, which is the SSD, to boot. Once it gets there it's quick as ****, but it seems to take a while to get to that second drive.
    Is there a way to tell the boot up sequence to look at the SSD drive first to boot?
    I'm running a 17" early 2011 MacBook pro unibody with 16GB of RAM and OS 10.8.2
    Thanks,

  • Wifi was working, and now does not discover any networks

    I had wifi working, and now it does recognize any of the 6 networks that everything else discovers, any sugestions?
    I read all related posts, did the software update to latest version, restarted several times, and did wifi reset. Actually my statmenet above is not entirely true. It does discover the network and connects when I place the device on top of a router, but moving to 50cm away from it and the connection disconnects and there are no networks discovered. I have tried it with 2 different routers, both of them are working well with my blackberry and laptop - and this was also working with the ipad before.

    Try a reset. Press & hold the Power and Home buttons together for 10+ seconds, ignoring the red power-off slider, until you see the Apple logo.
    If this does not work, then restore the iPad to its factory settings and start again.

  • Wifi works on iPhone but not MacBook with more bars!

    so, sitting in the same spot my MacBook Pro has 4/4 bars but the wifi only works for five seconds at a time (not literally but it feels like it), then I have to disconnect and reconnect. My iPhone has 2/3-3/3 bars and the wifi works great! why is this? Shouldn't the MacBook have better reception as its bigger/has more power? Why does it show more bars than the iPhone but hAbe a worse connection?

    Start up in Recovery mode. In the OS X Utilities screen, select Get Help Online. A clean copy of Safari will launch. No plugins, such as Flash, will be available. While in Recovery, you'll have no access to your saved bookmarks or passwords, so make a note of those before you begin, if they're needed for the test.
    Test. After testing, restart as usual and post the results.
