My iPhone will no longer picks-up the wifi at home(comcast). My mom used to have comcast and I used to connect there as well, but she changed to verison and I connect there, but no longer can get the comcast wi-fi at home. The wi-fi settings are ok there, but blank at home now. The phone's network settings are fine because I can join other wifi networks. I've done a reset with no results. Is there a manual way for me to restore the comcast wifi from the router?
First thanks for the reply and second sorry about the confusion. I was unable to get the full message out, but here's the problem:
Like I had mentioned, for a long time both me and my Mom had comcast and as soon as I came into both dwellings the phone would automatically jump onto either wifi network. Then a while ago she verison and used the same Belkin router. So there was no problem and my phone jumped on her system as usual, but at some point something happened and when I got home I noticed that the phone asked to be put on my system. I would input the password, but it would say "unable to connect" to the network. I did the standard things like check the network settings on the phone itself and they were fine. Then I did a reset (actually twice) with the same result. It seems like the phone ability to pick-up wi-fi is ok because when I go to my University I can log-in with no problem. The only thing I noticed is when I look at the settings (on the iPhone) for the router at home the whole thing is blank. My question is: Is there a manual way to get the phone to pick-up my router? I need to have it on my network at home because I use DocumentsToGo a lot. Thanks again for your response again and I hope things are clear now. Have a great day.

I can no longer sign in to my home fi (bt hub) with my iphone 4. Yet I can get on wireless with my laptop so the hub is working. The only thing Ive done different recently is download and use an app called Onavo mobile ltd which Ive now deleted, help pls?
Read another post in the forum about this and it appears this app also installs a profile with a proxy service that you will have to try and delete as well. Check that out.

Hello guys! I have a problem. I bought my iphone 5 from Bulgaria with contract from Globul operator, but i change my operator and i want to use my iphone with other chip, but i can't. I go to the office of Globul operator but they told me it's locked with us, they told me your contract with us must be finish and after that. And can i have a chance to unlocked my iphone before.
No. Since Globul is one holding the lock and they told you only after your contract expires then there is no way to get it unlocked.

I backed up files onto an external hard rive form my old PC. Now I want to retrieve the files to put on my mac but it is telling me to format it to Mac. How can I do this without erasing all of the data on my hard drive?
Your drive was used with a PC and formatted NTFS which is proprietary Microsoft format.
You need to install a third party program that will read the NTFS format.
There is various software from PARAGON, Tuxera and NTFS-3G
When you get the data off and have verified it to be good, reformat the drive either HFS+ for Mac use only, or for Mac and PC use then MSDOS (FAT32) for under 4GB files (best) or exFAT (for larger than 4GB files) is proprietary and Microsoft is appling for a patent, which would likely mean OS X won't be allowed to read it anymore without a licensing fee and you'l have to pay another third party software company to read the format, just like NTFS is.
The less you have to rely upon third party sources to read your drives the better, this way if you have a issue and need to read the drive on another machine you don't need the software, and a internet connection and a credit card and...and...and... -
i bought my iphone from a lady at the mall but she didnt remember her icloud password well now i keep getting pop ups about the icloud password but she doesnt remember it and whenever i try turning it off it asks me for the password but i dont know it?
That is the activation lock. Your iPad will be useless unless you can remove it.

When is the newest, latest update coming out? I have a bug. I can't use my wifi. I can't even tap the wifi , it's all grayed out. I have an iPhone 3g.
There are no more future updates for iPhone 3G. There is probably a hardware issue with your phone that an update would not fix.

I got my screen fixed and the day i got my ipod touch 4th gen back the wifi doesnt work unless i hold it right up to my router. Roughly every foot I move back it loses a bar and if i leave the room it doesn't even have a signal completely. Could the screen replacement have tampered with the wifi capability? Also if it helps I switched internet providers and during the time when my ipod was being fixed a new router was installed and it doesnt seem to work unless directly infront of my ipod.
Take it back to where you had the screen replaced. They messed up the connection to the wifi antenna

We have an iPad mini, since updating to ios 7, the iPad no longer picks up my network. My iPhone 4 was having a similar issue, but it was picking up my network. I was able to find a fix to the iPhone, but the nothing is working for our iPad. Is anyone else having a problem like this? Is there a fix?
Reset the device:
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
You will have to re enter the Wi-Fi password.
If that doesn't help, try here > iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections -
I feel really dumb as I do not have a backup of the older versions and I thought, that Apple might only add some bug fixes or style changes to the new versions, but the way it functions right now makes it useless to me... No I would like to know If I can get back the older version somehow.
Thanks in advanceYou can have the iWork '09 apps be the default but still have the new apps installed. After I installed the new iWork updates I created a folder on an external drive & named it "other applications." I then moved the new iWork apps to this folder. I have icons for two versions of Pages & Numbers (I rarely use Keynote) in my Dock. Even with two versions of Pages running, double-clicking an existing file opens in Pages 4.3.

For other items you will have to get them from where you originally got them. The backup that iTunes makes does not include synced media like apps, music, synced photos.

Why Is My iPhone 4 Struggling To Pick Up a Wifi Signal My Macbook Has No Problem Receiving?
I have both an iPhone 4 and a late 2009 Macbook. I work at an office just a few yards from the local hospital. The hospital has a public wifi that is definitely receivable, although weak in spots. But what I have noticed is that my iPhone 4 has a real hard time finding the signal and keeping it. I usually only get 2 bars max, out of the three on the signal graphic on the screen of the iPhone. It drops out often on the iPhone. However, when I connect with my Macbook, the connection is solid and it displays that I am getting a full signal. The signal doesn't drop on the Macbook. My question is why is there a difference between the iPhone and Macbook in picking up a wifi signal? Do iPhones not have as much sensitivity to pick up a weaker signal? Is there something I can do to the iPhone to enhance its reception?
They better huh?
I'm sure Apple is shaking in their boots.
No such problem with my iPhone which I connect with a number of wi-fi networks.
If the same problem with any other wi-fi network besides your own and no change after resetting network settings and/or after restoring the iPhone as a new iPhone or not from the backup, the iPhone has a hardware problem.
If the problem is with your wi-fi network only - no problem with any other wi-fi network besides your own, the problem is not with the iPhone. -
Anyone know where I can get a 3 cell X120e battery (in the US)?
Hello,
I have an X120e with the 6 cell battery but would also like to have a 3 cell for extra portability. I want to keep my 6 cell battery, so am not interested in trading. Does anyone know where I can get a new or like new 3 cell? Preferably the higher capacity one, as I understand there are two versions.
Thanks!To the best of my knowledge, there were never really any other versions, just the whole 32/40 Wh differential as compared on the ordering page/website/whatever other resource you look at.
As for another battery, you can always just order another one straight from Lenovo if you want to play with taxes and shipping, or grab the battery model number and see if Amazon has one.
