Blocked from home network

I recently bought a new iphone, but forgot my home network password.  I tried 3 incorrect passwords before finding the correct one, but now I'm getting an error "unable to connect to (my network)"  I'm guessing 3 attempts locks me out?  Any ideas on how to get back in?  I'm not sure if this is related to the iphone or the router.  If the router (linxys) any ideas?  Thanks.

Settings > Wi-Fi.
If you are unable to select your network to view the network settings along with being able to select Forget this Network to delete the network from your iPhone followed by rejoining your network as a new network, go to Settings > General > Reset and select Reset Network Settings. This will erase all wi-fi networks from your iPhone that you have successfully joined with your iPhone previously.

  • Issue with 10.9.2 looking NAS drive away from home network

    I have a NAS drive on my home network. When I am away from my home network my MBP running 10.9.2 keeps looking for and not find ing the drive. It keeps interupting my work flow every few minutes. How do I resolve this issue? it is very annoying.

    As a temporary workaround, of course, you can just turn Time Machine OFF.
    There was a similar message, with reference to type "file" in the URL, but this one is differnent.
    Have you ever used a 3rd-party utility, or followed any instructions to edit some files, to change Time Machine's default behavior?

  • Can iPhone apps be updated via iTunes v download from home network?

    I thought that by connecting my iphone through itunes on my laptop I could get all updates for my apps through itunes via synching and it would go very fast.    I have 27 apps currently updating and it has taken nearly 35 mins and the app updates are still downloading.   It's fine I guess when I'm home but I just updated apps a few weeks ago outside of my home network and AT&T had a field day with the amount of data I downloaded, especially since I couldn't cancel the updates.   
    Also, is there any blessed way to cancel the updates (yes I know they are meant to be there for a reason, but if I don't want them downloading via a cellular network, can I cancel or pause until I am into my home network?
    Thanks,
    Bill

    First of all, your profile above indicates you are running OS X 10.6.8.  Is this true?  If so, realize this is the oldest version of OS X that supports the current iTunes (11.2.2).  So once the next version of iOS is released, it seems likely that you would either be required to upgrade your OS X or no longer be able to sync your iPhone.
    Given you are running an iTunes version that supports your iPhone, open iTunes on your computer, click the "Apps" tab, then click "Check for Updates" in the lower right.  After you have done that, syncing your iPhone using iTunes will cause the latest versions of the iOS apps to be downloaded to your iPhone from your iTunes.

  • Do not get AirPlay icon on iPad when away from home network

    I brought my Apple TV, iPad, and iPhone to a hotel with me.  Although they are all connected to the same wi-if network at the hotel, I do it see the AirPlay icon on either device.  How can I mirror my iPad to Apple TV using AirPlay when I am away from my home network? I am attempting to watch a movie that for some reason is not showing up in my purchased movies to watch directly via Apple TV, but is on my iPad.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
    Check AirPlay is turned on on the Apple TV (turn it off and on if it already is)
    Check that both devices are on the same network (Settings > Wifi, on the mobile device and Settings > General > Network, on the Apple TV).
    Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
    Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
    Restart your router. (Also try removing it’s power cord for at least 30 seconds)
    Restart your mobile device.

  • Snow Leopard Server dhcp assigns IP to clients, but sometimes that IP is blocked from reaching network

    I have a problem that is driving me batty.
    I have a Mac Mini Server acting as a gateway to the Internet. The cable modem is connected to the built in Ethernet, and the local net is configured with a USB Ethernet. I am running  DHCP on the local network, and all of the clients get IP's from the server with no problem. Sometimes an random IP appears to get blocked from accessing the network (can get the file servers on the local net, and cannot reach the Internet.) We can manually assign a different IP, and it might start working, but it might not. We just keep picking until we find one that works. Rebooting the server will fix the problem as well.
    I see no indication of a problem in any of the logs on the server.
    This setup has worked with no problem in the past, but I must have done something to the configuration as some point.
    Any help will be appreciated!
    Mark.

    The proper way to set up your system is to set up the server's DNS as your primary DNS, entering into it all of your local devices and support, and use your ISP's DNS as forwarding DNS's. For help in doing this follow Mr. Hoffman's instructions.
    Use your ISP's modem in bridge mode to provide you with a static IP. Use the server's DHCP system to provide all internal addresses, otherwise you won't have dynamically updated DNS information at the server level.
    User your airport extreme as an AP. Set it up to use an internal static address as it's WAN address and shut down it's DHCP server allowing anything connected to it to receive it's IP address from the server. If you can't do that, then set up the Airport to provide DHCP with a reduced subset of addresses for only wireless devices. Let the server's DHCP provide all wire-based equipment addresses.
    Turn off the wireless on the mac mini server and run wired from your ISP's modem. Before you do, however, you need to enter a static address into the TCP/IP section, including mask and gateway. This will avoid VPN and other service issues caused by having it turned on and receiving a DHCP address (at server can not, by nature, be a DHCP device).
    To do remote desktop from the internet, you would connect through the WAN address provided to the server by your ISP, but you will need to open the firewall ports on the server. If you have the money, and want to most protection, you should invest in a firewall box like a SonicWall and insert this between your modem and the rest of your system. The SonicWall will provide faster, tighter attack protection and allows you to tie external service access down as tight as you want.
    Hope this helps.

  • Time Capsule error message when away from home network

    I have a Time Capsule on my home network.  When I am home, my MacBook backs up to it with Time Machine perfectly.  However, when I am at work or away from home, I continually (every hour or so) get an error message stating the following:
    The was a problem connecting to the server "OurTimeCapsule.local".
    The server may not exist or it is unavailable at this time.  Check the server name or IP address, check your network connection, and then try again.
    The problem isn't that I don't understand this error. I know perfectly well that my Time Capsule isn't available on my work network, and I don't expect it to be. Prior to installing Lion I never saw this error, and with every update I hope it will be fixed, but I still see it with 10.7.2.  Obviously Apple knows that people using Time Capsules to back up their laptops will not always be on the network that contains the Time Capsule - they even made changes in Lion to save backups to a local disk in times when the Time Machine disk isn't available.
    What I want to do is supress the error somehow - it is a modal dialog that sits on top of whatever I'm doing and is extremely disruptive, especially when giving a presentation.  Anyone know how to stop this error?

    As a temporary workaround, of course, you can just turn Time Machine OFF.

  • ITunes cannot access files from home network

    Just got new Vista PC. All my music files are on older XP PC. I have set up my home network, and Vista PC can see/access all my XP folders. I have Sonos and Yahoo Jukebox installed on Vista PC and both programs can access the XP music files and play them.
    On iTunes however, I cannot create my Music folder with the XP music. When I select 'Add Folder to Library' and get the 'Browse for Folder' popup, I see the 'Network' icon, but when I select it, nothing happens. I can right-click 'Explore' from there to re-launch/see the full network, but iTunes cannot seem to see/access this.
    Same problem if I go through iTunes' Preferences/Advanced/General to set the iTunes folder location. I can hit browse and see 'Network' in list, but selecting it produces nothing.
    Very surprised that I have no problem through Sonos or Yahoo Jukebox but Apple brakes down.
    Any thoughts?

    After the update I cannot connect to my router anymore

  • Homehub 5 deleted device from Home Network - Devic...

    Hi guys.  I'm setting up a Homehub 5 for the first time.  I have previously had a Homehub 3 and could do anything I wanted with it but I've come across an oddity.
    It's a simple query, in the Home Networks - Device section, I have deleted a device from the Wired Connections.  I now want it back!  How do I get it recognised and added again?  I have tried disabling the network (wired) and enabling, restarting the device, restarting the Homehub, nothing seems to work.  Can someone please tell me what I am missing?

    Ok.  Most of this issue seems to be solved by my fiddling.
    A bit more playing around has given me a new view of the problem.  The device I removed was set up in it's own TCP/IP settings to request a static IP address of its own choosing.  I did this because I could not find a way to allocate a static IP address for a wired device in the Homehub.  For some reason, when I first tried it, it would not allow me to edit the IP address for the chosen device.  I think this may be because the address had been set locally on the PC.  When I returned the PC to DHCP allocation it reappears in the Devices display and I am setting a static address from there.  I also have a NAS drive which is set to request its own static IP address and this also does not show up in the display.  I have changed the NAS drive in its own local settings to allow DHCP and it now also shows up in the router's Device plan.  So...
    Am I right in assuming that the BT Home Hub 5 only displays those devices it controls under DHCP and will not display others which have requested their own fixed address?
    If so, is there anywhere that devices which request their own static addresses can be viewed in the Home Hub settings or are they simply non-existent as far as administration is concerned?
    I would find this last point strange as they are still connected to the network and as such need to be managable.  It would almost seem that you are forced to use DHCP via the Home Hub if you want to set up anything to do with any device.

  • Ipad disconnected from home network and now is not showing it for me to connect to again

    I live in a student house where 5 of us are all connected to the same house network. The other day both my Ipad and my laptop lost connection to the internet and I was unable to see my home group as an option to connect to on my laptop, but once i restarted the router I was able to connect again. However my Ipad still is not showing the option of my home network, even though it was previously connected to it for a couple of months prior. I know how to make all assessed networks appear on your laptop, but I have no idea how on my Ipad. Any suggestions please?

    Try restting your iPad.
    Reset iPad: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Ignore the "Slide to power off".
    If that doesn't cure the problem try Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings.

  • Access folders on Iphone from home network

    I want to be able to connect to my iphone over my home wireless network and copy files and folders from the iphone to my home computer. Is this possible?

    Apple doesn't endorse this use of the phone, but there are 3rd party apps that can give access to some of the file structure on the phone. Google is your friend.
    there are also apps that will sync specific files and folders between your phone and your computer, such as Documents to Go (which allows you to edit MS Office files), Air Sharing, Dropbox, LiveDrive, etc.

  • MB Pro tries to connect to Time Capsule when away from home network resulting in annoying error message - how do I fix this?

    I have a 13" MB Pro late 2011 model running Mountain Lion with 2.5 ghz and 8 GB ram. I have a TC setup at home as wireless network and my phones, ipads, PCs, and MB Pro all connect to it with no problem. The problem is when I leave home and connect to another wireless network my MB Pro tries to connect to the TC about every 15 seconds and a message pops up saying it could not connect to the server "Time Capsule" and it forces me to click ok. As you can imagine, clicking ok every 15 seconds makes it impossible to use the computer. I have tried turning off time machine but it makes no difference.
    I have tried to read other posts and could not find the answer. Only reason I state this is because I once asked a question and there was another post out there and several got mad at me. I'm just trying to figure this out. Any help is greatly appreciated.

  • IPad loses home network settings from time to time

    IPad 2 loses home wireless Internet from time even though settings still indicate connected...I just click forget this network and sign in with pass word and it connects ok.  Is there a setting to keep IPad from disconnecting from home network while I am in the house?

    Try #5.
    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

  • Not Connecting to Wired Network and Forcing the loss of all Connections on the Home Network

    Just got a new G550 laptop  w/Win 7 OS. Tried to connect to wired router and got message "network cable not connected". Recycled laptop and router and came up with router connected to the laptop. Same message after search and identify steps finished. I then noticed I lost connection to the net/router with my other home networked units as well! Tried another cable, same results along with losing the entire home network connection. Disconnected the G550 from home network, via the cable, and the home network reconnected without any intervention. Tried another reboot directly connected to the cable modem, no go there either!
      I also rebooted with the wireless search shutoff and got the same problems as on the wired attempt. Thought it might have been the NIC card so I exchanged the system back at the store.  Sorry, same problem!! 

    I have a very similar problem... New Lenovo G550, running Vista Home Premium 64-bit. Right from the start it causes my TrendNet TEW-432BRP router to crash every 10 seconds. I bought a new DLink WBR-1310 and experience the same problem. Connecting to either router through either a wireless connection or a LAN cable connection causes the router to crash every 10 seconds. The router crashes, reboots, establishes a connection with the laptop, communication starts and then the router crashes again.
    I am looking for help.

  • Cannot connect to the iTunes Store from my home network since I upgraded to ios 6

    I own an iPad 2 and recently upgraded to ios 6. Since then, I cannot connect to the iTunes store from my home network.  I can navigate any other site and access any other application.  I can even reach the iTunes store through My Personal Hotspot and through my office network. 
    Has anyone experienced something similar?  My network carrier is Telmex and I know for sure, they block port 25.  Any guess on whether there could be a setting impeding connection?
    Help!!!

    Hi Nickey,
    If you are having difficulty connecting to the iTunes store from your PC there are a number of things you can try to get connected again. Details are available in this article -
