'connection timed out' on both iphone and macbook air

The box for the internet is in my housemates room so I can't get in to restart it (if that would fix it). They're all gone for a week so I can't check with them to see if they have the same problem. I'm asuming they would since it's happening on both my iphone and macbook. But what can I do to fix it? I've looked on line but can't get anythign to solve my problem. I've deleted the network from the computer. That doesn't help. I'm at a McDonald's fixing to solve the problem. Please help me, I really need internet for some work I have to do this weekend.  Please make it simple because I'm not good with computers.
I bought my macbook air in march 2012, I think it came with Lion.
Thanks a lot.

Hi there,
There may be a conflict between the network settings and your devices. I would recommend taking a look at the article below and comparing that to your routers current settings.

  • I want to stop sync of imessage in both iphone and macbook air

    hey guys
    i want to stop the sync of imessages between my macbook air and iphone 4s
    can you people please in doing this

    See this article:
    Connect your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Mac using Continuity - Apple Support
    You said "sync", so I think you mean have the iMessages display at the same time on both devices.  If that is what you mean, then
    Settings > Message > Text Message Forwarding > [turn the Mac off] ... on your iPhone.
    Otherwise, if you mean something else, the answer will appear in the article at some other place.

  • Whenever I log in to mum's airport wifi (it has wep) after a few hours it won't work and says connection timed out. The wifi and airport also is invisible to mum's macbook ***?

    whenever I log in to mum's airport wifi either with my iphone or macbook pro (her aiport express uses wep security) after a few hours it won't work and says connection timed out. The wifi and airport also is invisible to mum's macbook which means she can't login. If I plug her computer or mine direct into her virgin modem - it does work...  I can't even find her express in airport utility to reset it  any ideas what is going wrong?

  • HT204291 Airplay Icon lost from both my iPhone and Macbook Air

    I've lost the Airplay Icon from both my iPhone and Macbook Air, so I assume there's something up with my AppleTV setup (connected via LAN ).
    Airplay was working fine until recently.I've checked all settings and they seem ok. Anyone any further ideas?
    All other functions work ok, streaming video off the net , playing iTunes (installed on Macbook Air) from AppleTV etc
    I've just lost Airplay from 2 devices.
    AppleTV was updated in the last few days, but the Icon was lost before that.
    Thanks in anticipation.
    Doug

    OK. Solved !
    A simple reboot of my modem/router (the fibre one from BT - BT Infinity) fixed this for
    both my iPhone and Macbook Air.
    I can also mirror my iPhone screen to the AppleTV now too.
    (mirroring only worked from my Macbook Air before)
    That must be a new feature. Excellent !
    I guess I should have tried that before, but maybe this will help someone
    Happy Easter

  • Airport Express 802.11n keeps disconnecting Airplay with iPhone and Macbook Air

    I purchased this Airport Express on Jan 7, 2012. It was working fine.
    I used it for airplay only to play my itunes music to my speakers. My speakers are connected to an amplifier that is inturn connected to the Airport Express via an optical cable. I have not use it with a printer. I do not use it as a wifi to access the internet.
    It was working fine until about a month or so ago when after playing a few songs it would disconnect. Now after less than 2-3mins it would disconnect. When I try to manually reconnect with my iPhone or Macbook Air, it would say that is unable to connect to the Airport.
    If I keep trying, eventually it will connect and then after 2-3 mins it would cut off again. The amber light would show contineously.
    I am at wits end. I have not changed the arrangement at all since Jan. What could have happened?
    About a month ago there were an update to Airport Utility. I ran that update. Could that be the problem?
    I'd appreciate if someone could help me. The warranty will run out a less than a month. How timely isn't it.
    Is the router broken. If so why does it still allow me to use Airplay but only for a few minutes (less than a song)?
    Thanks in advance for any help and or advice.
    Mike

    Unfortunately there could be any number of possible causes. Your router could be at fault, or the Express, or something else that is affecting both. To troubleshoot this issue you would have to eliminate or significantly reduce one or more of these possibilities.
    Try performing a "hard reset" of the Express and configure it anew. Sometimes an internal parameter becomes corrupted that only a "hard reset" can fix.
    The following is an excerpt from:
    Resetting an AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule FAQ
    Hard reset
    Press and hold the reset button with a pen or pencil until you see the status light (LED) start to flash amber rapidly, which should occur after about five seconds.
    Release the button, and the AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule will hard reset.
    ... but read the entire document to ensure you do it correctly. An Express that has been "hard reset" will create an open network with the name "Apple Network nnnnnn" where nnnnnn = the last few digits of its MAC address.
    If you do not see the network with that name, the "hard reset" did not take effect, which will happen if you do not hold its little reset button long enough. In that case do it again.
    Following the "hard reset", reconfigure your Express.
    Failing that, position the Express closer to your wireless router. This may not be a practicable long term solution for you but it will minimize the possibility that wireless interference is causing the problem.
    Consider substituting another router, to eliminate that as the cause.
    Finally, you could take your Express to Apple who may simply offer you an exchanged unit. It will most likely operate perfectly well for them so you will not be able to demonstrate this failure mode, but you can explain you did all that I suggested above without success.

  • Having trouble with connecting my iphone and macbook air using bluetooth for internet tethering

    Hi,
    I am facing an issue connecting my iPhone5 to my Macbook Air using bluetooth primarily for internet tethering - personal hotspot.
    Every time I try to pair my iPhone with the Macbook Air, I get the error on the iPhone that 'the device that I am trying to connect is not supported'.
    Can anyone provide assistance to me on resolving this issue.
    Thankyou,
    Ashwani

    You can't resolve it using bluetooth because it is not a feature you can use here are the supported files for bluetooth http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3647
    YOu will have to contact your carrier and enable personal hotspot as suggested by questionaire.

  • I just moved to Germany, I want to know if an adapter and converter is needed to charge my iPod, iPhone and MacBook Air is needed or can I simply use an adapter? Will the voltage automatically change?

    I am having a really hard time with keeping my charger on the adapter/converter that I bought for my trip but I also bought an adapter and with that my charger doen't fall and my apple products would be able to charge withought me having to hold the charger in place. I want to know if the converter is needed or if I only need the adapter. I do not want to blowout my iPhone, iPod or my MacBook Air.

    All that is requried is an inexpensive plug adapter. Apple's power adapters themselves will work with any utility power on Earth. Non-Apple power adapters may not.
    I don't understand what you mean by having to hold the charger in place though.
