Why can't I log in on iPad or iPhone

I have no problem logging on to Gardenweb on my iMac desk top. In the past, I had no problem logging in on my iPhone or iPad. Then, all of a sudden, every time I tried to log in on the iPhone, it kept telling me to log in all over again. The same thing started happening, but only intermittently on the iPad (2, 3G), too. Then the iPad stopped taking the log in completely. Yesterday, it allowed me to log in again. Today, it won't. Huh???

I submitted a trouble ticket with GW this morning. Apparently there was an issue with one of the servers and some folks couldn't log in. It seems to be resolved now.

Nope. Phone still doesn't work.

What browser are you using for iPad and iPhone?
Q

In my limited experience, 3G is often problematic. It's best not to use it unless you must, like in the car, or for those features which only work on 3G. It also saves you bandwidth to use wifi when available. It's possible that your 3G was running slow and timing out before the information made it to the site. Where I live, theoretically we have 3G on all networks and 4G on some, but in reality we're usually on the Edge network or equivalent, which makes it more or less impossible to use it for anything more than text email.

Anyone else not happy with new iPhone/iPad IOS?
Q
Comments (46)
That was my first thought when I started reading complaints, app developers will be all over it & go 'retro'. Rumor had it on some boards that iOS7, when in beta phase, was being designed to compete with android (never saw an android in action myself, so don't know if it now compares). I'm still going to hold out but the only drawback to that is most app updates are going to be for 7 and if one isn't careful could accidentally update some apps that won't behave on 6. Still hoping Apple listens, this has been the first smart phone that I haven't wanted to pitch out a window at 60 mph (as opposed to my prior blackberrys, which made me go bat crazy sooner or later).

Synchronize Text Messages among MAC, iPad and iPhone
Q
Comments (5)
Hello Snidely, Thank you for the reply. Having text msgs on MAC is easier if I need to cut/paste website links or edit msgs before sending/replying them. Yet you do bring up a valid point that keeping msgs on three devices wastes storage space on each of them. It may not be a best practice. Things are getting more strange. I noticed now text msgs synchronize between MAC and iPhone, but iPad is left out. I wonder if iCloud set up is messed up.... It seems I have to pay a visit to an Apple store.

Can't get to these garden forums on my iPhone

Just go to your browser's Tools list in the top right hand corner of the browser window, open the drop down list and click to clear the cache. When it is done then close the browser and then reopen it fresh. Easier to do on your computer than on the phone but then you'd have to power down the whole phone and power back up to get a fresh load of FF. Dave

Do you get an error? Any recent password changes?

I mistakenly assumed that your issue was related to GW and not your phone. My apologies.

I think it is a GW problem. At least, GW is the only site where I am having it. I can now enter my password and post using my computer and my iPad, as I am now doing, but I still cannot log in via iPhone. It keeps telling me that I must log in after I enter my user name and password on the iPhone. My updates are current, if that matters. No, no error message appears, no passwords have changed.

try logging out then go to the main page at GW to do that go up to the very top of the page in the colored part and click on Garden Web, from there try your logging in. For some reason many times it works from there when it won't at the forums.

Also be sure to go into the phone settings for the browser and clear all the cache and history and cookies.

I appreciate your efforts to help. I did try clearing caches, cookies, etc., and logging in from the top, but, as of last night, I can no longer log in on the iPad or on the iPhone. This is not intended as at all sarcastic. I'm frustrated, but I guess it really isn't that important to be able to make GardenWeb entries from i-devices.

Have you maybe tried a different browser?

Here is a link that might be useful: Chrome for iPhone and iPad

I don't have any I products but have no problem at all with my various Android devices.

So, I just put Chrome on my iPad and this is a test. If it works, that still doesn't answer why my old browser would have newly minted issues, though. I'm sure I sound like a techno- idiot, but I really do want to understand.

It works on Safari on iPad, too. Neither works on iPhone. No one on other fora seems to be having the same problem.

Seems to be a 3G issue, for those following along. If I put in my Wifi password for whichever node services the area of the house where I happen to be, the problem goes away. If I go back to trying to use 3G, the problem returns and is present probably 99% of the time.

I tried the wifi fix, it works! Thanks, I could log in in my iPad on AT&T LTE wireless until about a month ago, then all of the sudden it no longer would let me log in.

Now I can.
