AT&T WiFi does not work on iPhone

I have a free AT&T Basic WiFi account as a benefit of having AT&T 6MB/S DSL service at home. I have not been able to log in at either of two local McDonald's for the past three weeks. I took my MacBook with me this morning and was able to log in just fine but when I attempted to log in with the iPhone I received an error message telling me that the transaction could not be processed.
I called the AT&T Wi-Fi support number and was told that they were not allowing iPhone access. Only Laptops and the like were being allowed access. When I told him that I had been able to access the network when I first got my iPhone he told me that that was true but a change had been made to not allow access to the iPhone. He said that as far as he knew it was not a technical issue and he did not know if or when access would be allowed in the future.
Kinda strange.... an AT&T home phone, DSL, and AT&T mobile customer with an iPhone and cannot use the service.

I hope he was in error but the problem has persisted for several weeks. I even re-set the iPhone to no avail. I am well aware of the log-in procedure as I can log in with the MacBook without issue but not with the iPhone. I will pursue the problem a bit further.
One thing interesting is that the login screen is presented slightly differently on the iPhone in that the "Agree" box, which requires a check mark on the MacBook, is an "Agree" button on the iPhone. They can definitely tell that is is a different browseer.

Hello there, TempestBelcher.
It seems you've covered all the bases, but feel free to review the iPhone Troubleshooting Assistant for connectivity here:

If you've followed all the instructions then there are a few good recommendations for what to do next in the last step.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.

IPhone 4s: Slide wifi is not selectable. Always gray and wifi does not work!

i have Slide wifi is not selectable iPhone 4s. Always gray and wifi does not work.
Help me!

You most likely have a failure of the WiFi chip.
Restore the phone as a new device. If that doesn't solve your problem, you'll have to bring your phone to Apple for replacement. If you are not within the warranty period, expect to pay $199 for out of warranty replacement.

Wifi does not work correctly on iPad Mini w/ Retina display

I've found that Wifi does not work properly on the iPad mini w/ Retina display.
Some background: I own three iPads (iPad mini w/ retina display, iPad mini, and iPad 3rd gen), an iPod touch 5th gen, and a Macbook Air, and use them all frequently with my pocket Wifi router.
None of them exhibit any Wifi problems whatsoever except for my iPad mini w/ retina display.
Here are the details:
In the middle of using Wifi with my pocket Wifi router, the Wifi connection will abrubptly drop, then reconnect. After the Wifi reconnects, it is no longer able to connect to the internet (even though Wifi itself is connected).
Once the iPad mini w/ retina display's Wifi gets into this state, the following may or may not restore WiFi temporarily:
Restart the device
Reset network settings
Yet, even if connectevitiy is restored, the problem will happen again within minutes.
When the iPad mini w/ retina display gets into this state, the Wifi on my iPod touch, other iPads, and on my Macbook Air work perfectly fine, so I know the problem is not with my Wifi device or it's connection, but specifically with the iPad mini w/ retina display
Note:
The iPad mini w/ retina display never has any issues with my home or work Wifi networks. The problem only happens when connected to my pocket Wifi device. Yet, all of my other iOS devices and my MacBook Air work perfectly with my pocket Wifi device, therefore I know the problem is not with the pocket Wifi device, but with the iPad mini with retina display.
Solutions:
Resetting the iPad mini w/ retina display to factory settings does not solve the problem
Resetting network settings on the iPad mini w/ retina display does not solve the problem
I have even replaced my original iPad mini w/ retina and got a new one. Yet, the new device exhibits the exact same behavior as the original device.
Conclusion:
I know this is not a hardware problem (since it happened with both my original as well as replacement device).
I know this is not a problem with my pocket WiFi router, since it works perfectly with all of my other iOS devices and MacBook Air.
Therefore, this must be a software / firmware bug with the iPad mini w/ retina display. Apple will need to fix this in a future software update.
Has anyone else seen this problem?

I too have experienced this issue over the past two days... I have a 16gb ipad mini retina, for reference. I bought the device one week ago, and had not experience any issues at all until bringing my device to work. I logged into my work's enterprise level wireless network both yesterday and today, maintained normal wifi capabilities for 2-4 hours each day, and was then randomly dropped, both days. I tried hard resets, resetting my network settings, airplane mode, etc. Nothing has worked. I am still offline on my ipad mini retina.
My iPhone 5 is sitting right next to my iPad mini retina. The iPhone is currently connected to the same very network, and has been for the past two years. I have never lost connection on my iPhone's wifi, just my iPad mini retina.
This must be some kind of bug, as it does not sound like a hardware nor network issue.
Hopefully they fix this in 7.1.

HT4628 The Wifi does not work when Macbook Air is started by Win8. How to let the Wifi work in Win8 ?

Hi all,

After updating to Yosemite 10.10.2, macbook air Wifi does not work. What to do?

I upgraded from Maverick to Yosemite in Nov 2014 & my mack book air 2011 model became slow. Yesterday after downloading & updating 10.10.2, Wifi does not work, it prompted Gatway Time out. Anybody can help please? Dr. Mostafa

Moreover I am to add, in the same network, windows PC Wifi works & more interestingly Macbook with Maverick also connects with the same Wifi, I mean to say this is the problem with Yosemite 10.10.2. Before updating on Sunday last, my Wifi was working nicely.

Check Settings > General > Restrictions, and check out Contacts toward the bottom under the privacy restrictions.
That sounds like the probable cause you cannot add contacts.
Regarding the iCloud behavior, that sounds like it got huge (35,000) because of incorporating other contacts (from social media, perhaps). Also contacts sync has nothing to do with iCloud behavior. The whole idea of keeping your contacts in the cloud is that once you change them on one device, they change everywhere. Specific syncs are not relevant.

Mavericks static ip doesn't on wifi does not work

MBA 2011
MAC OS 10.9.4
Wifi does not work with a static IP address.
My wifi access point does not have DHCP enabled, and there is no DHCP server on my network. The internet connection is NOT coming my wifi router.
Every machine on the network has a static ip address and manually configured DNS and GATEWAY to my correct gateway IP. This currently is working on this machine (windows 7), my ipad 2, my xperia phone, my windows xp box, my vista box, and even a virtual pc running windows server which is on my mac.
But the mac won't connect to the internet, or ping anything including the gateway ip address or any other machine on the ip address.
how can i get this mac to have a static ip address without having dhcp

Going to System Preferences -> Network, and selecting Wi-Fi in the left pane.... Questions:
. does the Status in the right pane show connected?
. if so, does the Network Name: reflect the name of the network you assume it should be connected to?
. if so, clicking on the Advanced... button and choosing the TCP/IP tab:
    . is the Configure IPv4 pulldown set to Manuallyh?
    . if so, have you entered in a valid router value (to mirror what you have set on the other working devices), and an IP address which you know is not already in use on the network?
    . if so, when you Ok out of this sheet panel, if you run /Applications/Utilities/Terminal and in that window type "ifconfig" can you find a configured network device with the address information you've entered (likely either en0 or en1)?
If all as anticipated by here:
. what message do you see in the terminal window when you do a ping to the access point's address?
. are you super-sure that address isn't already in use on the network (e.g on a device already on the network successfully and with your MBA's wifi turned off, try pinging the thought-to-be-free address to see if something answers back).

Lenovo S8-50LC Wlan(WiFi) Does not work when use Sim Cart(3G)

Hi
Tablet Lenovo S8-50LC
Wlan(WiFi) Does not work when use Sim Cart(3G).
What is the solution for this problem?
Build Number : TABS8-50LC_S000200_150121_ROW
SoftWarw Version : TABS8-50LC_150121

Right, but if you have the SIM in the tablet and you put the tablet in airplane mode, does wifi work then? If so, it may be a bad SIM. Do you have another SIM you can try?

AirPlay does not work with iPhone 4 s or iPad.Remote doesn´t work as well

AirPlay does not work with iPhone 4 s or iPad.Remote doesn´t work as well.
WLAN is working, I can use Youtube on my AppleTV, but I can´t connect to my computer or use airplay on my iPhone or iPad.

Something is not configured correctly that is creating issues with your AppleTV. You can disconnect it from the TV and power, and then plug it into your computer with a micro-USB cable. After launching iTunes on your computer, you will be able to restore it to default settings and upgrade the software.

Spotlight does not work on iphone 6 with ios 8.1.2

Since a few weeks the spotlight search does not work anymore on my iphone. I tried removing all subjects in the setiings menu and adding them again.

No, it should work with the iPad. It's not a matter of what version of iOS is on the device.
The card reader has never been compatible with any iPhone. It is compatible with iPads.

Call log does not work. Iphone 4

Hi, I'm an Iphone 4 user, software currently on IOS 6.1.3, updated a couple of weeks ago.
Everything's fine and all, though one major problem that's been persisting - the call history is not working. Whenever an oncalling call (regardless if it's someone in my contact list or not) comes, the call log does not record the number and the entire log remains blank. I've tried resetting the settings as well as 'hard reset', but neither of these two have worked.
It's become absolutely frustrating, especially when I sold items off at Trademe and can't even track the phone numbers of anyone that gives a call saying they want to buy something (for the moment, I've currently got all pages saying that anyone interested should text my number, but as always, someone ignores that and just calls anyway). Not to mention it makes it a particularly big headache for work purposes as well and it obviously can't go on like this forever.
It'd be really appreciated if anyone can come up with a solution that can resolve this issue.
Thanks.

..I just upgrade my E52 from 034.001 to 052.003 and noticed that 'call log' function does not work anymore. The symptom is that nothing happens when pressing:
- "green" call button,
- Log option from the main menu,
- missed calls from the desktop.
I had to switch the phone to active Standby Mode which I never used before - this is the only way to see missed calls - the small "pop up" on the desktop.
Any suggestions how to fix it? Is it a known issue?...
I don't know how widespread your experience is but it is not universal as all the functions you describe work correctly for me with an E52 and 052.003 firmware.
Even if the upgrade reverted the log settings for Log Duration to "None" the "Green" key and the Log menu icon should bring the log up but with it empty, of course.

Photostream does not work on iphone 5

First excuse me for bad english, I am not English but Dutch
I have an iphone 5 and IOS6 (beautiful phone!!)
My photostream does not work properly, I use the Icloud program (latest version) on my windows 7 pc
But whem i put a photo into the upload map, the photo does not appear in my photostream on my iphone.
I have reset the photostream on icloud.com, On my Iphone I have set the photostream of and deleted the photo's
But a new photo will not appear in my phoyostream when I do on my pc?
Can you tell me what's wrong
Thanks
Philip

Hi Philip, I had a similiar problem when I upgraded from 4S to iPhone 5, basically when i had the iPhone 4S i deleted the pictures off the camera roll but kept them in the photostream.
When i upgraded to iPhone 5, the pictures in camera roll transfered over and only the last 30 days of photostream not all images. I phoned apple, I was told that you can save the picture to camera roll by selecting multiple images (click edit on photostream on you'r phone) in photostream then selecting "share" then select "save to camera roll" then you can take the pictures from there. But this did not work for me.
So what i did instead was download box.com app and got an account. I used this app to upload multiple images from my photostream to the cloud. You get 5gb free with box so more than enough for images. I then download this images on my laptop from the cloud directly.
Hope this helps Taher
