Problems with IOS 8, a disaster!

Hello there Adelphi09,

If I understand correctly you are seeing numerous issues with your iPhone 5s running iOS 8. I can certainly see how that could be frustrating. Everything you are describing sounds like software issues to me, so I would start by quitting all the running apps:

iOS: Force an app to close

Double-click the Home button.

Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.

Swipe the app up to close it.

When you have done that restart the device and test the issue again:

iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting

If the issues persist I would next backup your phone and restore it as a new device with this article, and test it out in a clean install of iOS:

iOS: How to back up your data and set up your device as a new device

If things work as they should, then restore your backup, and verify that it still works, or isolate issues with the backup file itself.

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

All the very best,

Sterling

Plugging your phone into the mac and performing a sync has nothing to do with your network, and does not use the network to do anything, so the phone or iOS8 has nothing to do with that. You have other issues going on here.

Apple does not participate in the forum, so they aren't hearing you. If you want to provide feedback to Apple, you need go to HERE, and click on the appropriate link.

"Plugging your phone into the mac and performing a sync has nothing to do with your network, and does not use the network to do anything, so the phone or iOS8 has nothing to do with that."

I disagree: when you have File Sharing enabled on your phone, regardless of the (recent, though) version of iOS your iPhone is running, then a lot of data is sent and received over your WiFi network.

Nath99: have you tried to perform the same operations while your Mac is connected to the router with an Ethernet cable, and the WiFi is disabled? That's how my MacBook Pro is rigged at the moment, and my home network (French Freebox) works fine, no interferences at all.

What do you mean it's 'crashing your network'? What, exactly, is happening?

I Haven't!! This is one weird bug!! Lots more discussions on here now as well about people entire home network crashing!!

some me one else wrote about plugging there phone on to charge and losing all wifI!!!

My iPhone 6 (iOS 8.0.2) is currently charging from one of my MacBook Pro (1,1 - Snow Leopard) USB ports, and my network is doing fine.

Can you try to connect your Mac to your router via Ethernet instead of WiFi, turn off the WiFi on your Mac, and tell us what happens?

Please answer the question. What, EXACTLY, is happening?

i swear ios8 is crashing my home wifi network!!! i have been through everything now !!!! i have even tried 3 different routers and even had a broadband engineer visit the property to check everything out!!!i have found that when i use the remote app on my iPhone to connect to the apple tv it has crashed my network and thought it was even a apple tv fault !! but then even today plugging in my iPhone 6 to my mac and performing a sync crashed my network!!! have done all various resets for network settings devices ect!!! never had any issues like this before and have been using iPhone iPad mac ect for years!!! i was convinced it was my router or my apple tv or something before but now having been through everything it all seems to stem from the release of ios8!!! please apple sort this one out quick!!

the last two htwo weeks I have done everything! Changed routers ! Been in the phone to my isp, Netgear technical support endless times and have even had s broadband engineer cone out thinking the problem was something along them routes!! But after everything I have been through it seems various things I do on iOS 8 wifi related from time to time crash my network!!! Remote app was one of them ! Just setting up home sharing!! Bizarre

just out of interest I downloaded remote app again and setup home sharing and there you go Internet went again!!! having this app of my phone the last few days has made things better!! But still think there's something in ios8 that just ain't right!

"Crashing my network" is pretty much a meaningless term. WHAT HAPPENS? Does the router reboot? Can you no longer ping the router? Can you no longer ping anything inside your network? Can you ping devices by IP address but not name? Do you have internal connectivity on the LAN, but no connectivity to the Internet? What? You're not providing anything close to a usable amount of information for the purpose of troubleshooting a network problem.

HI! I can still log on to my router!! And reboot from there which fixes the problem !! But basically what happens that I can't load a webpage or get on to the Internet in any way unless I reeboot! safari for example just starts to load and freezes

just put remote app on my iPad which is running 8.0.2 and ran the app and it froze my Internet again!! On all devices !!! I'm 100% it's a ios8 bug because I've never had this before with my devices or network !!
