After software update, will not connect to wide open wifi network at home

Fixed. Unplugged wireless router, then plugged it back in, waited for it to power up, now it works...

What model number of AirPort Extreme do you have?
What operating system are you using on your Mac?
The setup "wizard" will practically configure the AirPort Extreme for you if you use it. Were you using this utility?
Did you reset the AirPort Extreme back to factory default settings before you tried to reconfigure it to become a part of of your network?

IPad will not connect to any other wifi network besides iPhone hotspot.

I have 3 iPads and until recently they all worked flawlessly using a mediocre wifi signal. One of them now will only work with my iPhone hotspot and will not connect to any other wifi network. I have rest it removed the cover and it still does not work. Please advise.
Thanks

Try this Method:
Go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings (NO DATA WILL BE DELETED)
Reconfirm it again when the notification pops up and wait for the phone to reboot itself

After software update, will not boot up past blue screen

I just did a software update and after restarting, the computer will not go past the blue screen with the spinning wheel at the bottom. Please help! I've tried everything under troubleshooting in the manual. Any other ideas?

Thanks, I was able to fix my problem. It was a software issue. Luckily I did a pretty good backup...I just forgot to back up 2 of my most used applications: iPhoto and Appleworks. They were on my laptop before I did the erase and install, and now they are gone. I thought they would be on the iBook install discs or the OSx software install disc...but no. They had to come from somewhere and I just cannot find them! I know I didn't pay for them. Any thoughts on where they may be? I am so mentally exhausted from these computer woes...I can't think anymore!!! Please help me!

3 Beeps After Software Update, Will Not Start

Late 2012 Mac Mini. Updated OS X with Software Update, upon restart it is instead beeping 3 beeps in a row, silence, then 3 beeps in a row again, for hours. It's getting hot near the power cord. Screen is black. I finally powered down successfully by holding power button.
I've seen older posts saying this signals faulty RAM in Powerbooks. I did upgrade the RAM to 16 GB myself when I bought the Mac mini, it has always worked fine (apart from snowy screens when it first awakes or starts which eventually go away and I understand this update was supposed to address...).
Have I voided my warranty by installing the RAM myself?
What to do?

John, thanks. I ran the Apple Hardware Test, and the memory tested fine. The three beeps at start up has not returned since the original restart after the software update, so who knows what it was...

Rember, the free GUI front end for memtest is another memory test utility to consider.
The display may or may not be related to anything. It will be difficult to draw any conclusion without another display to substitute.

Correct, there is no benefit of additional RAM unless and until your system and what you do with it requires more than you have. OS X manages its resources efficiently, and there is no way to change how it does that.
I'm still getting snow when starting or awakening the Mac when the monitor has not been recently on, so there may be some interaction between the monitor and the Mac mini. (MultiSync LCD2470 monitor.) Because when the monitor has been running for a while I can restart the Mac without getting snow, usually. Turning the monitor off and on about three or four times usually gets rid of the snowy image and I get a picture. Every now and then it will abruptly turn to complete snow after having been on for hours, so who knows... I understood the snow problems were a common problem with the Intel integrated graphics and the recent software update(s) were meant to address it. It didn't help in my case.
At least I'm back to the original functionality from before the software update...

Safari, iTunes, Software Update will not connect...

I'm piggy-backing on an issue that Parajanov posted at 7:10AM today: I'm having almost the exact same issues, but I've tried everything noted in that post and have not been able to connect with either Safari v2.0, iTunes v7.0, or Software Update.
When I open Safari I get: Safari can't connect to the server. Safari can't open the page "http://www.website.com/" because it could not connect to the server "www.website.com". That same message holds true for every website I attempt but one: my bank. My bank's 24-hour online service is the only thing I can access on Safari.
A little background: This started last week when I was browsing and in the middle of my session, quite possibly to my online bank, when I tried to go back home I got the first message. Sadly, I didn't document the problem as it happened because I thought it was a simple problem. I quit Safari, restarted my computer, and still nothing. Then when I tried to view my history, I saw that all of my previously visited site entries had been replaced with something like "dot607," like a total of 50 entries all the same. Like I said, I didn't document the problem when it happened, so don't take my "dot607" verbatim, but it was something like that. Totally puzzling.
Next, I opened iTunes and Software Update and they both dialog box me and said that it's a network problem. I'm defintely connected because I've been using Firefox for the past few days with no issues whatsoever.
I've attempted to trash com.apple.quicktime.plugin.preferences. plist, as suggested by Mactechguy, no luck. I've attempted to trash com.apple.safari.preferences.plist, no luck. I've attempted to use Disk Utility and restart, no luck.
This is the first time I've ever had anything like this happen and it's really aggarvating. Help me out Mac Tech community, please!

Sorry, Eme. That too, did not work. Anyone else have any insights or suggestions?
Np; ), I am sorry for this predicament you are in, & nothing is helping,
do search in the Safari forum for redirects, there is a situation going on with this.
I think there is one right on the first page here.
I however, have found the DNS #s are needed in the TCP/IP tab.
I could only browse to earthlink without them however that was last year I have used them since, they were not volunteered.
Did you do a restart, of your mac?
Have you tried a test account to see if Safari works there
System pref.-> Accounts-> Login Options use the + to add one. Log out of your username account & into the test account.
Worth a shot, imo.
I will look for the other topics on this similar issue.

The issue may be different for you, this is what Daver said he did but there is no articulation on what exactly
http://blogs.earthlink.net/2006/08/handlingdead_domains1.php
Info on your router, connection method etc, could help. Also if the test account works & if you have ichat set up does that work ?

I-phone 4 froze after an update, will not shut down and sends all calls to voicemail. Apple logo is the only screen that I get, is there anything I can do?

Unplug it and let unit go dead. Then hold your Home button down and plug the USB power cord back in. iTunes should see it and then restore.

The apple software updater will not update

the apple software updater will not update the following apps
iTunes
Quicktime player
iCloud
<Re-Titled By Host>

There is a tech note on what to do when an install or update fails.
Often due to prior copies and cache of those on your system.
Some you have to uninstall but it will leave behind files and folders that then have to be manually removed.
Clone Windows just in case.
Run chkdsk
Cleanup
Use CCleaner or similar and repair the Registry might help too.
I just did a clean install Windows 10 Preview, and the one app I most feared installing installed and seems to be fine, iTunes 12.01+

Safari, iTunes, software update iCal not connecting. Firefox is fine. Tried Proxies, but not sure what to do there. Only one box was checked, I unchecked it, and made no difference. Have also tried some other DNS numbers, nothing worked yet.

Hi There,
Safari, iTunes, software update iCal not connecting. Firefox is fine.
I have found some archieved discussions about this, but none that went into detail about how to fix problem using proxies - I don't really understand what they are/ do.
I went into the Proxies screen, Only one box was checked, "Use Passive FTP Mode (PASV)" I unchecked it, and made no difference. There was also some stuff written in the "Bypass proxy settings for these hosts and domains" I deleated that and nothing different happened. Have also tried some other DNS numbers, nothing worked yet.
Any suggestions?

I still have no idea what was wrong with Safari last week, but I opened it today, and its all working! Hurrah!
Woohoo! I'm a great fan of things fixing themselves. Fingers crossed in New Zealand for no further problems.

Iphone will not connect to airport express extended network - macbook and ipad will - Help

Iphone will not connect to airport express extended network - macbook and ipad will without problems.
iphone will connect to base station no problems, I've restored settings and started again but still the same, the iphone picked up the network for the last couple of months, but not now ?

I'm having the same issue. My AExpress used to give a good signal strength on the far side of the house extending he network created by my Extreme. However, I've noticed lately that my iPhone does not receive the same strong signal it once did. AE has a green light, I've rebooted it, and my Extreme but there is no change in signal strength. Other than the green light, how can I tell if the Express is working if I don't get a good network signal?

TS1559 Since upgrading my iPhone5 to the newest iOS (6.1.2) I can longer connect to WiFi. It sees the wireless network but will not connect.. Other devices in my home that weren't upgraded can connect just fine.

Since upgrading my iPhone5 to the newest iOS (6.1.2) I can longer connect to WiFi. It sees the wireless network but will not connect.. Other devices in my home that weren't upgraded can connect just fine.

I had the same problem. I did the reset networks on my iPhone & it did not work. My husband read somewhere that changing the channel on the router to manual & selecting the highest available channel number might help. I did that & it solved the problem. I have not had the problem since.

We have an old titanium PowerBook that will not connect to our AirPort Extreme network. What gives.

We have an old titanium PowerBook that will easily connect to any WiFi cafe or hotel network, but will not connect to our AirPort Extreme network. What gives.
When the Apple Tec. installed our network for our 3 iMAXs, he couldn't it to connect either. Of course our two iPads have no trouble connecting.
We are also having trouble getting it to upgrade from OS 10.5.8 to 10.6, even though I have a Snow Leopard up date family pack.

What is your Wireless Security setting on the network? Since you are running Leopard, I may not have the desired answer, but some of the Airport-equipped laptops, like the TiBooks, are said not to support all of the settings. I have an AE network which supports b and g, with "WPA2 Personal" settings and the TiBooks connect with that one OK with 811.b Airport.
Oh, and no way to upgrade beyond 10.5.8 Leopard for PPC machines like the Titanium G4 Powerbooks, as 10.6 and above require Intel processors.
EDIT: I didn't notice this, but the TiBooks may be connecting with WPA encryption on my network, as I have the following display on my settings:
