3 g phone won't connect to internet, software version 4.2.1. phone calls work fine though

I have an older iPhone 3 G 16 Gig, it is unlocked, phone works fine(making & receiving calls, texts), software version is 4.2.1.connects to house wifi & works fine, but will not connect to my service provider?

Turning off unneeded features will help battery usage, such as Push Notification, turn down screen brightness a bit, and numerous others. Search on this forum for battery drain, usage and such.
A fix for battery drain issues is to Restore the Firmware and set up the iPhone as "New" when iTunes asks at the end of the Restore Process.

IPhone 5 sound related apps won't work, but phone calls work fine

When I attempt to use Siri, she doesn't pickup my voice. When I attempt to use snapchat no sound is picked up so it just sends a video with white noise... It's actually picking up SOMETHING, because when I use Voxer the messages send a REALLY faint voice. It's almost like a ghost whispering, but you can almost make out what I'm saying.
Phone calls I make have no issues. If I raise Siri to my ear and talk then it works fine. What's the issue?

Anything? Anybody?

My network is fine, iPad can't connect to internet via any router, even when other computers work fine.

About a week ago, my daughter's iPad2 stopped connecting to the internet. It will connect to some of the routers in the house, but not all, but then just hangs in Safari, netflix, app store...basically anything that requires going online. Even if the signal is super strong and other computers connect to the internet just fine, the iPad just won't.
I've tried everything short of a full reset. We're in IOS 5.1.1. 6 gigs free. She's frustrated because it's summer vacation and she would really like to watch netflix.

Hi Jenroses,
I would suggest backing up your iPad and updating it to the latest iOS, which is iOS 6.1.4
The links below should help you with this:
Choosing an iOS backup method (Should I use iTunes or iCloud to back up my iOS device?)
iOS: How to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
Be sure that you are in range of your Wi-Fi router (access point).
Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and turn Wi-Fi off and then on again.If unable to do so, see this article.
Confirm that your Wi-Fi router and Cable or DSL modem are connected to power, turned on, and indicate that they are connected to the Internet.If not, refer to your network administrator or ISP for assistance.
Restart your iOS device.
Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and locate the Wi-Fi network to which you are connected. Then tap the blue dot and choose Forget this Network. Try to connect to your desired Wi-Fi network again.
Note: You will need to enter your Wi-Fi password again if your desired network requires one.
Turn your Wi-Fi router off and then on again2. If your ISP also provides cable or phone service, check with them before attempting this step to avoid interruption of service.
Update your device to the latest version of software.
Update your Wi-Fi router to the latest firmware2.For AirPort Base Stations, see this article for information about firmware updates.
If your issue is still unresolved
Follow the steps below for the issue you are experiencing.
Unable to locate a Wi-Fi network
Unable to connect to a Wi-Fi network
Wi-Fi disconnects, or signal strength is less than expected
Unable to access the Internet while connected to Wi-Fi

I hope this information helps ....
Have a great day!

Won't connect to Internet explorer....just got this computer a week ago brand new

I just got this computer brand new a week ago. It started trying to watch vid on the net and it workstation show the picture. Then 2 days later it won't connect to Internet explorer at all. I'm so frustrated I mean how is this possible to have problems already. If I can't fix this tomorrow I'm taking it back. Please help thank you

Before you go there call your provider first and have them check the provisioning on the phone. They will ask if you did this when you go to the Genius Bar.

Mac Mini won't connect to internet using Apple products (Safari, iTunes, AppStore). Date and time are frozen to the moment CPU is booted up. Firefox works. Cannot update.

For the past few days my Mac Mini has been having issues.
Safari won't connect to internet, but Firefox does.
Time and date are frozen. Only resets when copmuter is re-booted.
Unable to update via App Store and iTunes won't connect either.
Please advise.

Hi again,
Let me ask for some better help for you that is familiar with this problem (if in fact it is a similar problem with the IP address and your ISP.
The other topic concerning this can be found at:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2725608
It is a somewhat lengthy thread but may just apply to your situation.
Anyways I will see if I can call on some better help for you. Hang in there. Best to arm yourself with enough info before contacting Comcast so they might know what you are dealing with fully.
littleshouders
edit: I have posted for some extra help for you that may have a better idea of what's going on if it is your ISP and their modem and how it handles the IP address causing Safari and iTunes not to connect. Hang in there it may take awhile but I'm sure someone will pop in to help.

How to enable a disabled iPod that won't connect to internet

trying to enable my disabled 5th generation iPod touch. I have tried connecting to iTunes on the computer, which I couldn't get it to do anything. I then tried using the "Find my iPhone" website and erased the iPod. However, I got a message that says "This iPod will be erased when it connects to the internet". How do I connect a disabled/locked iPod to the internet/wifi while it is waiting to be erased because it won't connect to internet/wifi?

Disabled
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

Ipod Touch Won't Connect to Internet Since Using Airport Home Network

I searched the site, but can't find anything that helps (or that I can really understand). I previously had no problems with my Ipod Touch using my home internet via wi-fi. Ever since I upgraded to the newest airport, my ipod won't connect, and I've tried just about everything, but nothing works.
I also have an old PC Laptop that used to connect, but it won't connect to the internet either since I got the new airport.
Thanks for any help you can give me.

My new Macbook won't connect to my wifi network - it keeps saying "password incorrect" - but I've tested it on my phone and works fine, I've checked the password I enter is correct digit for digit - what could the problem be?

you need to open the keychain access located in your utilities folder in the applications and once in the keychain on the left side click on the words system at the top and in the lower section click on passwords
next look in the striped area for any passwords that say airport network password next to kind and highlight those and hit delete on the keyboard to remove them from the keychain.
once you remove all of these airport passwords, quit the keychain
turn wifi off then back on, select your wifi network from the list and enter the password telling it to save to keychain this should resolve your issue!

Brand new Apple TV won´t connect to Internet

I just bought an Apple TV 3rd generation today. Unfortunately I´m having some issues installing it.
The Apple TV does connect to my wifi network but won´t connect to Internet. I´m currently using Time Capsule as router and thought that all Apple gadgets would have no problems connecting to each other. Both my Macbook Air and iPhone can connect to Internet when using the same wifi. I´ve tried to restart and restore Apple TV a few times and have also restarted my router. Apple suggested that when troubleshooting, but it did not work. Anyone who knows how to solve this problem?

I´m not sure what just happened, but when I woke up this morning and started Apple TV it worked. Haven´t done any changes in settings...
Out of curiosity, if the same problem occurs again how would I solve the internet connection problem. Yesterday I just saw computers/settings on the main screen.

New iPhone 4s won't connect to internet

New iPhone 4s won't connect to internet beyond my home wi fi. How can I correct this? I need internet where I go.

I've got exactly the same problem.
Upgraded to iOS7 all was fine.
It then prompted me to upgrade to 7.0.2 and now my iPhone 4s won't connect to Internet anymore.
There was also a carrier settings update that I accepted which could have broken things.
I've tried different APN settings but it still won't connect for me :-(
Tried a Reset Network Setting, and the problem is the same.

G4 suddenly won't connect to internet

My g4 running 10.5.7 suddenly won't connect to the internet. It connects to the wireless network fine, but says it isn't connected to the internet. MAc mini and macbook pro (both running 10.4.11) and iPod touch all connect to network and internet without any problem. The g4 was working fine, then suddenly couldn't connect.

More info....
Even though I've got 4 airport bars, when I go to airport utility on the G4, no wireless devices show up. All devices appear in AP utility on other machines.

Safari won't connect to internet; Firefox will ???

Safari won't connect to internet; Firefox will???
Wierdest thing. For some reason Safari won't browse or connect to the internet anymore. When I open Safari the default address is in URL bar, but with highlighted (words only) in blue and it just sits there all day. I can't connect to any web site on the net.
However, if I open Firefox all is fine and my Mail is all fine also.
I've repaired permissions a few times and even trashed the preferences for Safari, restarted computer etc, but it still refuses to actually display anything. I get a blank white page, then after about 2 minutes it simply says "Safari can't open the page. Because the server stopped responding".
As I said, no problem with Firefox.
Any ideas.

I thank you for getting me into the right ball-park otherwise I would not have spotted it.
You're welcome. Glad I could help.

IPod Touch 4th Gen. Won't Connect to Internet.

My iPod touch 4th Generation will not to my wifi. The network will pop up but when I click try to on it, it just keeps loading. I've restarted the router but I still can't connect. My computer is working fine though. (It's not an apple product though, just the iPod is.)

Does the iPod connect to other networks?
Does the iPod see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iPod connect before?
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on the router
- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Same here on my lpad2. Can access the web just fine from browsers but cannot install new apps or updates in appl store. Seeing a few others reporting same issue tonight so likely an apple server issue and staff will notice it in network monitors and fix it...sometime this weekend.

TWRING,
Help has arrived! Since the device is currently on pre-order when processing the order online it will only recognize the line eligible. Once you receive the device you may activate it on another line if needed.
