Apple TV not connecting to iPhone / iPad at home over Xfinity wifi, connects when on my work network. Please help!

I have a 3rd gen iPad, an iPhone 5 and 3rd gen ATV, all have been updated to latest OS. The iPhone and iPad easliy connect to the Apple TVs that we've got at work on our corporate network, but do not connect on my home network. Sometimes, if I'm lucky, they'll connect for about 5 minutes and then disappear. Really frustrating!
I'm on Xfinity wireless at home, and the router is Arris TG852. I'm not technicaly at all when it comes to routers or home networking. Someone said that my home network might be preventing the devices from talking to each other..
Can anyone help please? I'd apprecaite any assistance just to get it working normally! Thanks!

Thanks deggie, I'm hoping there might be another fix. I went through there and submitted a request for a new router, this link is useful after going through a number of posts on the comcast site: http://www.comcast.com/deviceupgrade/?SCRedirect=true and I've got to wait for 4 - 6 weeks for a new one to arrive!
What I'm confused about is why is works for a few minutes, as that proves it can work, but stops and doesn't work at all after that.

just regular FireWire cable (6-6 pin) - when you use target mode, computer acts as if it was external hard drive and supposed to show up on another Mac's desktop as a drive - you could use Disk Utility on another Mac and format the PowerBoook.
if there is some hardware problem though, sometimes target mode won't work.
also, maybe try some other OS disc just in case your OS CD is defective somehow.

Macbook will not connect to any form of internet PLEASE HELP ASAP!!!

Can someone help me. I have no idea what to do. I recently bought an Apple Mac Book 1.83Ghz. It was slightly used. It will not connect to the internet, at all. It will connect to my wireless network, and have full signal strength. But when I open safari, or any program requiring internet, it says there is no connection. I have hooked the computer stright up to my cable modem, and it still said no connection. Look I really, really need help. I don't know what to do, and I need to use this laptop asap! Please, if you see this try to help me. It will not connect at all. Please, please help.

Yes, I did. I have a linksys wireless G rougher, and an optimum online cable modem. The cable modem is hooked upto the roughter. I plugger a cord into the roughter, to the computer and that didnt work. I plugged the laptop stright into the cable modem. The modem says there is activity, but it still wont connect. What is important is the wireless. It says that it is connected to my network, but will not go on the internet. I tired setting it up with the progam installed, but when it asks for my network and password, it says that it is inaccurate. I really really need this to work as soon as I can. If you could help me in any way, please do so.
Thank you so much.

IPod touch 4th gen will not connect to anything after update. Please help.

Ok, so I haven't updated my 4th gen ipod touch since I bought it, which was well over a year ago. Just recently, apps have started to force me to update to the newest iOS and many updates require it too, so I finally decided to update and get it over with. Well, I synced everything from my ipod and then updated. Well, to my horror after I came back I found out that even though I had CLEARLY synced my apps. They were gone on BOTH my ipod and my computer.
Not to say I was really ticked off or anything, but I had almost 15 GB or so of just apps on my 32 GB itouch. I read somewhere that I can go back and reinstall all my apps but that would be a PAIN. Turns out there aren't many others ways to go about doing it so I was left with little choice. Well, once again, I ran into the problem that absolutely nothing would connect on my ipod touch.
So, I have two problems actually:
1. Is there anyway besides reinstalling apps for me to get back all the apps I had prior to updating my ipod? And in the future, how can I prevent itunes from deleting my apps when I clearly have them synced before updating?
2. Why won't my ipod touch connect to anything wifi related? When I open the app store it just simply loads. And it will continue loading forever; I had it "loading" for about an hour until I decided to come here. Same goes with iCloud, facetime, Safari - just anything that has to do with connecting to my wifi.
Things I've done: I've restarted my ipod once already, I've reset my router as well, and I've also tried to disconnect from my router then reconnect. None of them have worked so far. Any help would be appreciated.

- If synced media like apps and music are not in the iTunes library on the computer one which you update they will not be on the iPod after the update since the backup that iTunes makes does not include synced media..
This is discussed in
iOS 4: Updating your device to iOS 5 or later
- For the wifi 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
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points

If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

My iPhone 5s will not charge or turn on. Itunes does not detect it and it doesn't warm up like usual when im charging it. PLEASE HELP!

I really need help with this please!

Get a different cable from a friend or an Apple store, be sure it is an official Apple cable as many knock-offs are rejected by iOS devices.
See if a different cable works and makes the iPhone "seeable" by the charger and by iTunes.
If that does not help, take the iPhone, cable and charger to an Apple store genius bar for testing by the techs.

I have a 3rd generation ipod that will not connect. I keep getting an error message that says "USB Device Not Recognized". I have tried 3 seperate cables and none of them are working. Please help!

It keeps telling me that one of the USB devices for this computer has malfunctioned and windows does not recognize it. I have tried all of the ports and still am not having any luck. I have purchased 3 brand new cables and none of them are working. I have tried to update the driver but it says I am using the most up to date. I have tried to reset the Ipod by holding the center button and menu button until the apple appears. I am not sure what else to try. Any help would be greatly appreciated. My computer is Windows Vista!

Hello butterflygirlie,
Have you tried uninstalling the driver for your iPod from within Device Manager? After uninstalling it, go ahead and unplug your iPod and plug it back in. Doing so should cause your system to locate the proper driver for it.

My ipod nano doesn't show up in itunes..."could not be identified properly" . i've followed the troubleshooting guide, but nothing has worked. please help.

can anybody help with the issue i'm having please.

Hey there rondulecki,
It sounds like you are unable to sync your device to iTunes because the device could not be recognized properly. I do not know if this is the guide you are referring to, but I would recommend the troubleshooting from the following article to help troubleshoot what is happening named:

DNS Error when trying to connect xbox360 to WRT54G wireless network, Please help!!

I recently purchased a new router (WRT54G Ver.6) and the initial setup went well. however, when I try to connect my xbox 360 to this network, the DNS does not resolve and it fails every time. what should I do?

Hi…..
Well in this case first make sure whether the computers which are connected [wired or wireless] to the router are able to get online.
If the computers are not able to get online through the router then you will have to configure the router. And if the computers are able to get online then in order to resolve the DNS Error in order to get the X-Box360 working you can assign Static DNS Address to the X-Box
The Static DNS Address you can use can be 206.13.29.12 and 206.13.30.12

Can't connect PS3 to Airport Express Network - please help!

Hello,
This may have been done to death before, but I couldn't find it...
I have an 80GB PS3 that I am trying to connect to the internet wirelessly through my Apple Airport Express.
When I follow the setup procedure on my PS3, it finds the Apple Network, I put in the security key and it all seems to be going OK. However, when I test the internet connection, it fails to find the IP address.
Can anyone help me with this? Please???
Many thanks...

I have fixed it!
Basically, I had wpa2 encryption enabled. I changed the encryption to wep, which then prompted me to enter a 13 digit password, which I did. Fired up the ps3, entered the new 13 digit password and voila! All working beuatifully.
Many thanks for your help!
