Why will my iphone 4 connect to wifi in the UK but not abroad?

Hi,
I bought a UK unlocked iphone 4 from a colleague of my sister's after my 4s went for a swim. For some reason I can connect to wifi services in the UK but none where I live, in Spain.  I never had this problem with my 4s or the 3G that I had previously.
There is a UK sim card inserted in the phone, and it works fine as a phone apart from the wifi issue. The same issues occur even with another sim card installed or the phone in flight mode.
Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks

  • Why will my Iphone connect via USB on one computer and not another?

    My IPhone 5s connected to my laptop and Itunes no problem, as soon as i did the ITunes update now neither my laptop or my ITunes will read my iphone via USB. I have no idea how to fix it.
    (My laptop is Windows 8)
    It can't be a cable issue because i charged my IPhone via my desktop and it connected no problem, it's something to do with this ITunes update i think.
    Can someone suggest a fix please? I'm totally stuck!

    could be your computer's firewall is preventing the proper installation of your CIT200.  try disabling and reinstalling the drivers again.

  • Why will my iPhone 4 only charge on the computer

    My iphone 4 will only charge on the computer and not the wall charger my ipod will not also not charge on the wall charger,

    Try different Wall Charger to see if it is the problem. Try different USB cable to see if it is the problem. If there is Warranty or AppleCare, the Wall Charger and USB Cable are covered too.

  • Why will Firefox allow me to have multiple tabs available, but not allow me to switch between tabs, and can only look at a new tab by closing the previous one?

    Whenever I open a new tab, it appears on the tab bar where it should, but if I click on it nothing happens, the tab won't open, and I can't switch between multiple tabs. The only way to get to a new tab is to close the one I am currently on, and even then it will only open the next tab in order of precedence, so I can not even choose which tab is the next to view. This problem is making it impossible to use firefox as a research tool which requires fast switching back and forth between multiple tabbed pages simultaneously.

    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings, disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
    If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
    *In Firefox 29.0 and above, click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
    *In previous Firefox versions, click on the Firefox button at the top left of the Firefox window and click on ''Help'' (or click on ''Help'' in the Menu bar, if you don't have a Firefox button) then click on ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
    If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
    * On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
    * On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
    When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".<br>
    [[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
    ''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
    When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem.

  • Is it possible to connect an iMac to the internet but not to the network?

    Hello,
    I volunteered to purchase an iMac for our company. This huge company maintains a huge windows-only network environment and IT does not support any macs (nor do they want to have them on the network).
    Hence, since we really need this machine to be a mac and not a PC I had to promise to set it up as a stand-alone machine and to get anti-virus protection (as users will be coming in with their jump drives etc). At least for the latter reason (regular updates of virus definitions must be possible) we'd like to have it connected to the internet.
    How would I escape the dilemma that as soon as I'd hook it up via ethernet, it would of course get internet but at the same time would see all other machines on the network? (it will sure do so as I had tried it out with some other machine running on the same OS)
    Is there a way to configure Snow Leopard to allow for internet but not network access?
    Does it make sense at all (for security reasons that is)?
    thank you very much,
    HD

    Is there a way to configure Snow Leopard to allow for internet but not network access?
    Well, 'internet' is 'network access' so at one level your question makes no sense.
    If, on the other hand, what you want to do is segregate your Mac from the other machines then that's a different issue. There are numerous ways of doing that, but most would involve some level of interaction with the network administrators. Given their ana^H^H^H attitude towards Macs that may be an issue.
    The best way would be to setup a separate VLAN for the Mac. This will create a separate logical network within the company network with only this Mac and the network router in it. No PC would see the Mac, and the Mac wouldn't be scarred by seeing all those PCs. This cannot be done without buy-in from the network admins, though.
    A step down from that would be to use one PC in the network as a gateway to the rest of the network. The Mac would talk to this PC, and the PC would pass the data out to the rest of the network. This would require admin rights on the PC, though, which you may or may not have (I've seen a lot of corporate networks… :: shudder ::)
    The last option would be to setup an entirely separate internet connection for the Mac but there are logistical issues there, too.
    My advice: Buy a dozen Krispy Kremes for the network guys and sweet talk them into building you a VLAN.

  • My macbook pro won't connect to one of my internet connections, it did in the past but not now. Can't be resolved with airport diagnostics. Help would be appreciated

    I have tried so many times to resolve the problem and I have no idea what's up. I disconnected my modem and all of a sudden my macbook won't connect ever since. The only way to get on is to use an ethernet cable.

    have you tried telling your computer to forget the network and then trying to reconnect it that way?

  • My phone will not connect to WIFI all the time, but if I cut it off and go thru Verizon network the it's fine. Everyone else in my house does not have this problem even tho they have same phone as me. I have restarted, reset, rebooted and done everything

    My 4S will get on internet but will not connect to any site including the App store or I tunes. If I cut Wifi off and go thru Verizon network then it is just fine. It is very slow loading tho. Everyone else in my house connects just fine.

    Jglee,
    I can understand how connecting to Wi-Fi is very important to maintain better control of your GB. I appreciate all the troubleshooting you have already tried to get this issue corrected.  Does your 4s have the most current software?  You can check this in setttings: Settings>General>Software Update.  Keep us posted.  We are here to help.

  • Connecting to wifi select the network but password does not let me join

    when I select the network and try to put in the wifi password I cannot join on the wifi

    Have you attempted to use a computer to go to iCloud.com and change your password?  If you are successful at that, then do the following:
    Settings > Mail, Contacts and Calendars, click on the iCloud account, scroll to the very bottom of your screen, delete account.  Then go back in and the iCloud account again and put in the new password. 

  • Why will my music library download onto my iPod nano but not on my iPod touch (5th gen.)?

         I imported a few CDs to my music library earlier and I tried to download them onto my iPod touch and it wouldn't work. The songs just have grey dotted circles beside them. I'm not sure what this means.. Anyways, since it wouldn't work on my touch I thought I'd try and put them on my nano. And sure enough when I synced it, it worked. Can someone please help me out? I'd rather not have to carry around 2 iPods around with me now..

  • My iPhone 4S will no longer connect to wifi. It is on os6. I've had it for 18 months

    My iPhone 4S will no longer connect to wifi.  The wifi button is greyed out. It is using io6. Like this for a week . Is 18 months old. what is warranty time in Australia?

    There is a one year limited hardware warranty with all iPhones.
    You can check your warranty by going to supportprofile.apple.com.
    Try to restore the iphone as new without restoring from a backup. If that doesn't work, you're going to need a repair.
    And if it's out of warranty, you will have to pay for it.

  • My iphone 4s and ipad 2 both with 7.0.4 update will no longer connect to wifi but non-mac lap top has no issues

    my iphone 4s and ipad2 both with 7.0.4 update will no longer connect to wifi.
    About three days ago the ability to connect came and went and the connection never lasted more than 10-15 minutes; it has not been able to connect since last night. I do not think it's my wifi router as non-mac lap top has no issues. I have seem many similar questions posted.

    Reboot your router by removing all power from it for about 15 seconds. Also, if your router still has its default SSID (such as LINKSYS, DLINK, NETGEAR, etc) change the SSID to something unique. Note that all other devices on your network will have to be reconnected if you change the name, but if the name is still the default that is most likely your problem.
    If the SSID is not the default then the reboot should fix it.
