My Ipad 'Systems' shows my WiFi connection is working and all my Apps connect and interact ok but Safari says 'No Response from the Server' the same on my Mail. The WiFi works perfectly on everything else in the house. Any ideas ?

it was not just email it was all internet via safari but all apps including the bank account app. the laptop and pc access the same email servers which work perfectly so it is difficult to blame the servers.
by the way it has now started to work properly at lasst after a whole day of trying to resolve this year.

Bought two songs from iTunes store on my iPhone 4s. Tried bringing the songs from my phone to my computer iTunes through iCloud but it doesn't even show the option to choose music?

My computer has been authorised and has the newest version of iTunes. My iPhone shoes the option of choosing my computer's music but my computer doesn't even show the option of music, but shows apps, movies, tv-shows and books. When i choose the option of find music to download from my phone, it says i have downloaded all yet i haven't and the music isn't in my library.
This was my first time when i bought anything from iTunes store and it also shows in my account information that i have bought these two songs but when trying to download them from my iCloud it doesn't work. Also when i click on the songs in my iTunes store on my computer, it says i have bought them but doesn't show the option of playing them. Is the problem in my iPhone or is this something to do with the songs' copyrights?

My ipad2 has lost wifi connectivity at adistance while all other devices connect to new wifi.

After getting new wifi network, my ipad2 loses connectivity unless it is right beside the router. All other devices have good wireless connectivity.

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

MacBook and husband's iPhone won't connect to home Wifi, but my iPhone and iPad will.

As of this week, our home Wifi won't connect our MacBook (2008) or my husband's iPhone 4 to our home Internet. Our iPad 2 and my iPhone 4 still connect no problem. We appear to get the signal, but get error messages about not connecting to the Internet with browsers.
We've tried turning things off and on, forgetting and re-adding networks, and copying info from my phone to his, but have all been unsuccessful.
We share our Internet with our neighbor and nothing has changed with that. We asked her to turn off/on the router and/or modem with no change.
The ONLY difference I can think of is my husband started his last semester at school this week and he uses both devices on campus. He has to use his campus ID and password to get on campus Wifi so he doesn't change any settings, but I feel like its all leading back to that.
Any help would be much appreciated! Thank you!!!

Forgetting the Network didn't work. It's dong the same thing.
So if it's a router problem, what can we do?
Two devices work, and two don't...I just don't understand why.
Could it be that too many people have logged into our wireless and now it's out of IP's? Could we ask people who have previously logged into our internet to delete it completely? I don't know if that would free anything up?

My iPhone 4s won't connect to my wifi at home. My iPad connects fine.

Thanks Allan, it's extremely rare that I get a problem with any of my Apple devices but it's great to know there's help out there when I do.

I am connect on wi-fi but my iphone doesnt open internet..why?

I'm connect but i cannot open internet..why??

Your wifi network is not the internet. You can be successfully connected to a wifi network, without access to the internet. Wifi networks can be used without any equipment connecting to the internet at all. The function of a router is to connect networks. In your case, your wifi network to the bigger network we call the internet.
Try rebooting the router.

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
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 iTunes purchases by:

My iphone 5 is showing the network and 3G logos but has no signal bars and I cannot make or receive calls or use the internet

Hi,
I recently bought my iPhone5 second hand off a friend. Having inserted my sim the O2 network logo and 3G symbols appear in the top left although there is no signal registered. I am also unable to make or receive calls as well as use the mobile internet.
The phone is registered to O2 so there is no network clash
THanks

Hello denman1991,
It sounds like your phone is not connecting to the cellular provider network, and you are also unable to connect to the Wi-Fi network. I would recommend these troubleshooting steps from the article named:
iPhone: Troubleshooting issues making or receiving calls
https://support.apple.com/kb/TS3406
Toggle airplane mode: Tap Settings > Enable Airplane Mode, wait five seconds, then turn off airplane mode.
Check your phone settings:
Check your Do Not Disturb settings: Tap Settings > Do Not Disturb.
Check for any blocked phone numbers: Tap Settings > Phone > Blocked.
See if Call Forwarding is turned on: Tap Settings > Phone > Call Forwarding.
Ensure that your software is up to date:
Check for a carrier settings update.
Check for an iOS software update.
Note: Some updates may require a Wi-Fi connection.
If the iPhone has a SIM card, reseat the SIM card.
If the iPhone 4 or iPhone 4s is on the Verizon network, dial *228 from the iPhone and select option 2 to update the Preferred Roaming List (PRL). The PRL determines the cellular towers the phone uses for cellular service, selecting those with the best signal strength.
Reset the network settings: Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
Try to make or receive calls in another location.
Attempt to isolate to one network band:
If you're having the issue on LTE, disable LTE, if possible, and try again.
If you're having the issue on 3G/4G, disable 3G/4G, if possible, and try again.
Contact the carrier to check the following:
Your account is properly configured to use the specific iPhone that has the issue.
There are no localized service outages.
Your account doesn't have a billing-related block.
Your calls don't have errors on the carrier system.
Restore the phone as new.
Also, for your Wi-Fi network issues, I would recommend this article named:

Do you mean an Airport Extreme Base Station connected to a Comcast Modem?

From what I understand from this post, yes you do qualify for a replacement.

All my devices connect to a single base station, instead of the one closest to it.

Hello,
I have an Airport-based wifi network and it works great. The only problem is that all my devices connect to the main base station, instead of the one closest to them. This has created a problem because my house is large enough that I need the extra access points to extend my network. So when I go to another part of my house, away from the main base station, the connection gets slow. This is also a problem for my Apple TV. It is closer to my Airport Time Capsule, but still tries to get its signal from the main AirPort Extreme, making screen mirroring slow when playing a video. Right now I have 1 Airport Time Capsule, 2 Airport Extremes, and 1 Airport Express.

My Airport Time Capsule is extending from my Airport Express.
This is not possible.
The way apple extend works is a hub and spokes type of system. You cannot double extend. It is possible however to do a complex system with the express as a wireless bridge and ethernet connect that to the the Time Capsule. If you do such things.. slowness is a guaranteed part of the package.
Even double hop wireless will slow things down dramatically.. and for streaming video by airplay mirror is to be avoided. You need to use more ethernet or some hard wired alternative like EOP (homeplug) adapters.
The symptoms you described there are kind of the problem. This is especially a problem for the Apple TV. It makes screen mirroring very slow. I will try some of the diagnostic programs and see what I can find. Also, what difference would what channel they're on make?
I don't understand why the Apple TV is roaming.. surely you have it fixed in one place and plugged into a TV. The problem is not the ATV it is the other end device that you are streaming from.. if you are moving that around the house then that is wrong way to do things.
For screen mirror which is highly data intensive.. and often has issues with speed even up close.. you need both devices running 5ghz wireless in the same room with each other.. and you should setup wireless so that no extend can happen in this scenario.. it will simply not work over extended wireless. It barely will work over wireless at all. In fact you should look at either plugging in the ATV or plug in the device you are mirroring by ethernet.
Channels matter because they interfere with each other if too close.. or the neighbour uses it. Or you have a cordless phone or an AV sender or security front door TV system or a baby monitor or a zillion other things which all use the free 2.4ghz band.
