Apple iphone 5 and 4 not connecting to public wifi

Have the wife's iphone 4 on 6.1.3 and mine iphone 5 6.1.2 that won't connect to public wifi. It connects at home no problem. When it connects to public wifi and requires some sort of user agreement or authentic, the next page or safari doesn't come up. Anyone else come across this. Thanks in advance

At the home network it is self secured with a password so it does not require any kind of additional settings...but in case of a public network many a times it is possible to have manual HTTP Proxy settings..
- First when you turn on your wifi in your mobile..it catches up the nearby singnals and shows u the networks available
- now when u join them by tapping on the network...if it is succesfully connected then it shows u a TIC mark in front of the network name...
- now on the same network name u can see a small arrow icon beside it which is blue in colour...
- tap on that and then scroll down..u can see a option HTTP Proxy
- there tap on the manual option and then add the respective port and server ...they sholud be in the form
(server- xxx.xxx.xx.xx port- xxxx ). where x-number digit.
- you should be getting this info of the server and port from the network manager..ask him and then add them...
- authentication is required for secured networks..i.e if the networks have a username and password...
if this doesnt work in the first attempt then try and do a RESET of ur phone and try the above again.. u will not loose any data..so do not worry..here is how you do a reset...
- hold the power off button and homescreen button together simultaneously for about ten seconds ..hold till u see a apple logo on ur screen and then leave them...it will switch on automatically...
hope that this will help you...reply if you need any more help....happy to help...........

Have you tried clearing Safari? Clear Safari, close Safari completely and reboot your iPad. Try again.
Go to Settings>Safari>Cookies and Data.
If you are running iOS 5 or iOS 6 you close apps like this. Tap the home button once. Then tap the home button twice and the recents tray will appear at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button twice.
If you are running iOS 7, you close apps this way. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

Iphone, IPad and printer not connecting to Airport Extreme

Hello everyone,
I have a problem with my wireless. I have an one year old airport extreme. I can connect to my IMac wirelessly and my macbook pro without any problem, however my iphone, printer and IPad have problem connecting to my wireless network. The only way my iphone and ipad can connect is if I'm next to the airport extreme. If I go to the next room it will disconnect, even thought the signal appear to be find. This is not the first time I have this problem. I corrected the problem by going to the setting and turn off and on the Robustness which I don't know why I no longer have that option on the airport extreme. I have reset, power cycle all device and no luck.

The iPhone includes a b/g compatible wireless card, so "n" alone will not work, and the same when set to "n/a".
I have my Airport Extreme Time Capsule set up via simultaneous dual band so my MBP with an "n" compatible wireless card can connect via "n" with my iPhone connected to the other band via "b/g".
In regards to your MacBook slowing down, is this in regards to transferring data from one computer to another, or is this with your internet connection only?

MBP will not connect to public WiFi site, iPhone does with no problems.

My MacBook Pro (late 2010), refuses to connect to many Public WiFi networks. However, my iPhone has no issues. Typically, I will be in a coffee shop or airport lounge. I'll take out my iPhone and launch Safari. Safari will try for a second or two to connect, and then a "Login" page will pop up. Usually it is simply a request to accept the Terms & Conditions for the access provider. Tick the "I Accept" box and continue. Same location, using my MBP, I launch Safari and Safari tries to connect and does nothing. Spinning Beach Ball. I do not get the "Accept" page with the Terms & Conditions. Any ideas why this works with the iPhone and not the MBP? This is a chronic problem for me and I'm getting tired of it. Thanks for any assistance.

Satellite L455-S5975 Laptop will not connect to public wifi

I have a Satellite L455-S5975 laptop. I am trying to connect to a public (but security code protected) wireless network, WPA2. I have successfully connected a few times, but when I "sleep" my computer or restart it, I can no longer connect. The wireless network is recognized and I am prompted for the password, but it will not connect. When I run the troubleshooting, it asks me to restart the wireless router. Restarting the router does work and allows me to connect, but it is a router used by many other people and I don't have the option of resetting it every time I want to get on the internet. I have looked into updating the wireless driver software, but cannot determine what I need. I believe I am running Windows 10 on my computer. Any advice would be appreciated!

My MacBook Pro's airport has an exclamation point and will not connect to the wifi. How do I fix this?

I have tried restarting my computer, turning on and off the wifi, entering my IP address manually, etc. Nothing is working and I have had this problem for a week now. I know the Internet is not the problem because it works for others in my home.

Open System Preferences/Network
Select the Location you use at home
You may need to click the Padlock bottom left at this point if it's locked, enter the admin password to unlock
In the left hand column drag the Ethernet connection to the top of the list and remove any you don't use
Click the Advanced button bottom right
Click the TCP/IP Tab
Set Configure IPv4 to Using DHCP
Click OK bottom right and you should see the Router IP number appear and a unique but similar one for your Mac
Click Ok then click Apply and close the Panel

When you get to the States, if you will be in an area with an Apple store for a couple days, call and ask about reserving an unlocked iPhone, it takes a couple days to get it in the store from what I understand.
The current MBP 15" models are 2.2 and 2.4 GHz i7 machines. There is a 17" with 2.5 GHz i7.
The difference, in addition to the slightly faster cpu, is:
2.2 GHz - Radeon HD 6750 M with 512 MB VRAM
2.4 GHz - Radeon HD 6770 M with 1 GB VRAM
Both have the same hard drive, 750 GB 5400 rpm, both have the same primary graphics - Intel 3000.
So the difference is in the discrete grapics processor, important for heavy video work, heavy gaming...but will drain the battery a lot faster.
You can get all the details on any Mac computer by going to http://www.everymac.com and click on the model and then scroll down to the exact machine of interest.

HT4314 Hello, I have an Iphone 3GS and can't connect to Game Center. It recognizes my apple ID account, states it was never used with Game Center. Then asks for country, birthdate, then returns to ask country again, then birthdate, and returns to the loo

Hello, I have an Iphone 3GS and can't connect to Game Center. It recognizes my apple ID account, states it was never used with Game Center. Then asks for country, birthdate, then returns to ask country again, then birthdate, and returns to the loop. Never ends the loop unless I cancel the setup process. I have restored the iphone to the factory settings and restored the backup, but did not work. Any suggestions on what can be the problem? thank you.

I just read another post that says you can go into a game that allows for multiple players and utalizes game center and enter your account information that way. I haven't tried it yet, but it seems to work for others that had this issue.

After attempting to update to ios 7, my iphone is stuck in recovery mode and will not connect to the itunes software server.

After attempting to update to ios 7, my iphone is stuck in recovery mode and will not connect to the itunes software server. I have already tried the resetting with power swich and home button and plugging into computer but it says the "iPhone software update server cannot be contacted." I am locked out of my phone. Does anyone have any idea how to resolve this issue and get the phone working again. I will add that I am now trying to restore it on a different computer with a lower version of itunes, but the computer that it initially happened on had the updated itunes and gave me the same result ... nothing. Thanks for your help in advance.

Try going to recovery mode as described here. You may have to try this more than once to succeed.
Use the original iTunes that the iPhone synced with.
