Can't connect to wifi after connecting to Starbucks wifi
I know it sounds awkward that I can't connect to any wifi network after I connected to Starbuck's at&t wifi network, but that is the last time I've been able to. I'm not sure if it's just a coincidence or if that is the reason I haven't been able to after this. I had 2.1 since day 1 and it worked always perfectly until Starbucks that one time. A few days later, I updated to 2.2 and still everything is fine except for the wifi, same issue.
Issue: Wifi is on and it just keeps showing "Choose a network..." with the icon spinning, but no networks show up. Ask to Join networks is on, but when I go to any program, it doesn't ask to join anymore. I've tried resetting network settings, turning on/off normally, doing a hard reset by holding down and not turning it off normally. I don't know what else to try. Nothing with the network router has changed, but even then I would expect it to list it at least or show all the other networks around the apartment, but none show up. My wife's phone connects to it fine. I've also tried clicking on Other... and then putting in the network name and it doesn't find anything. Something is abnormally wrong.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Hmmm.....
It's worth a hard reset (press and hold the sleep/wake button and the Home button together, ignoring the 'slide to power down' message and then release them when the display blanks. Press the sleep/wake button until the logo appears and then wait for the restart which takes a little while...)
Apart from that, it may be worth clearing Safari's cache, etc..... (Settings > Safari > Clear History/Cookies/Cache)
In any event, 'Good luck'!!
If all else fails it IS possible that some WiFi hotspots are VERY hot and emit more power than is really allowable in the Standards, resulting in 'frying' your WiFi receiver (possible but unlikely). If this is the case, return your iPhone to an Apple store with the 'WiFi not working' message but don't mention Starbuck's or anyone else.....just don't use Starbuck's WiFi service ever again!

Can home sharing link automatically or do I have to connect each time after connection is lost ie if i leave house for day with iphone or ipad do I have to connect shared library again on iphone/ipad in evening when back in house? It would be good if it just links automatically
Well then maybe I misunderstood what you meant even though now that you explained it again, I should have though about that.
When you leave the house in the morning with your device, you lose the connection to the library because you are no longer on the same WiFi network as you are at home. You have to be on the same network in order to use Home Sharing. Once you get home again, you have to select the Shared Library again.
I apologize for the confusion or misunderstanding. -
hi, updated my iphone where in the middle of updated the screen showed i must connect to itunes. after connecting to itunes my iphone was updated but everything was deleted. was first time on itunes , so have no backup. can i recover my pics and contacts? please help
If this has happened more than once the problem is likely on your PC.

No problem, glad to help!
Update: my PC USB hub was connected to a USB 3 port, I connected the 30 pin cable directly to my PC, And the restore worked just fine. Restored phone from iCloud backup and seems to be working fine. -
Here's my setup: Internet <> Comcast/xFinity supplied cable modem <> new Apple Time Capsule <> iPhone 4 & MacBook Pro (see below for hardware details)
Internet on my iPhone 4 has been acting slow since yesterday evening. My MacBook Pro was running fine, but just to be sure I checked the Comcast website to see that I have only used 50GB of my allotted 250 GB of data for the month, so it's not that.
I decided it must be a problem with just my iPhone, so I opened up the multitasking bar and quit everything in there manually, and then I held the on/off button, and slid the slider to power off. When I started back up, I could not connect to the same WiFi I had just been using. I tried to reconnect and nothing. I tried to forget the network and try again, nothing. I tried to reset all network settings, nothing.
I have tried all the steps listed here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398 "iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections"
Toggled WiFi off and back on
Made sure I am in range of the router (it's about 8 feet away and my iPhone reports full signal from the network)
Made sure all the hardware is connected and on
Checked other devices (I'm successfully connected with my MacBook Pro right now)
Checked for router firmware upgrades (I have a new Time Capsule from Apple with the current 7.5.2 firmware which I've been using for a month)
Restarted my device (again)
Checked that the network is available (it does show on my iPhone)
Restarted my Time Capsule
Checked my router configuration as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3727 "Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network" which involves simply checking to see that WMM is turned on, also stating that WMM cannot be enabled or disabled for Apple's AirPort products.
Reset my network settings (again)
I have searched and searched for fixes to this problem, and I have additionally tried:
Enabling/disabling Airplane Mode
Disabling any network password protection/encryption (no luck), re-enabling it (no luck)
Changing the network password
Checking for hardware addresses present in iOS Settings > General > About (they are present and not zero'ed out)
Switching Bluetooth off (nothing) and back on (nothing)
....and probably a few other things I can't think of right now
I have yet to try:
The "Freezer Trick" which apparently involves chilling the iPhone to get a temporary fix?
Restoring the iPhone (I would really rather not)
A different WiFi network (other than my own Time Capsule home network or guest network, both of which give the same Unable to Connect error)
So, after all of that, are there any more ideas? Is there a reliable solution to this issue? So far I've just seen a lot of "mess with the settings," "the freezer trick worked," and "blame it on the iOS 4 update."
Here are my hardware details:
iPhone 4; iOS 5; 32GB; AT&T; no cellular data plan (July 2011)
TimeCapsule6,113; Firmware 7.5.2; 2TB (September 2011)
MacBook Pro 3,1; Mac OS X (10.7.2); 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo; Hi-Res Display; 4GB RAM; 500GB HD (August 2007)
...and the Time Capsule config:
http://cl.ly/BCUtUgh. Apparently "messing with it" is still the answer. I decided to try the LinkSys router I was using before I bought the Time Capsule, and my iPhone connected with no problem.
I went through the steps again, and after rebooting my Time Capsule this time, I can connect again. The troubling thing it that this started with a power-off of my iPhone. No changes or installations, just a reset. Am I going to have to reboot my Time Capsule (which has no power switch, just a cord I have to unplug) every time I reboot my iPhone?

I can't connect to anything after connecting to wifi
How do I fix not being able to connect to FB or anything after being connected to wifi?
If you are truly connected to the router, just try turning off and on the wifi in Settings. If that doesn't fix it or you cannot connect to your router, follow the instructions here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1398

Can not unmute iPhone 6 after connection to car audio
I have a strange issue with iPhone 6, IOS 8.02. After the phone is disconnected from car audio it goes into mute by itself and I can not unmute it. The silent switch has no affect. The volume up button will unmute the phone but only while I am holding the button. The instance I let the volume up button go, the phone mutes itself again. The only way to get out of this is to power down and back up again.
Did anyone see anything like that and have any suggestions?
Thanks in advance for your helpHi borisser,
If you are having issues with unmuting your iPhone after having connected it to your car stereo, and have already tried restarting it with no resolution, I would suggest that you back up and restore the iPhone as a new device. See this article -
iOS: How to back up your data and set up your device as a new device
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

Additional things to try.
Try this first. 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.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
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
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.

Remote App on iPad connects but drops after about 20 mins. Need to turn off wait about 1 minute, then turn on wifi on iMac before it can reconnect. Need some help please.
Already gone through troubleshooting guide a zillion times. Thanks.This worked for me... A little time consuming but once you get rolling it goes GREAT... Thanks....
I got my artwork and saved it to my Desktop
Opened up Microsoft Paint and clicked on "File" and "Open" and found it to get it on the screen to resize it
Clicked "resize" and a box for changing it opened up
Checked the box "Pixels" and "Unchecked maintain aspect ratio"
Set Horizontal for 640 and Vertical for 480
Clicked on "OK" and went back to "File" and did a "Save As" and chose JPEG Picture
It came up "File Already Existed" and clicked "OK" (really did not care about the original artwork I found because wrong size)
Went to iTunes and on the movie right clicked on "Get Info", clicked on "Details", then "Artwork"
Go to the little box on the top left that shows your old artwork and click on it to get the little blue border to appear around it and hit "Delete" to make it gone
Click on "Add Artwork" and find it where you put the one from above on your Desktop and hit "Open" and OK and your new artwork is now there and all good.
Sounds like a lot of steps to follow but after around 5 or so you will fly through it. This worked perfect on my iPhone 6 Plus and I have artwork on my Home Videos now. -
Retina macbook pro can't auto connect to wifi after wifi router rebooted
My macbook pro with retina can’t automatically connect to wifi after the wifi router was rebooted. There is exclamation mark on wifi sign. As I clicked the wifi sign, it shows no Internet connects. However, It is strange there is a tick in front of my wifi name. In order to use wifi, I had to click off wifi, and then click on. The previous version, Macbook pro, has no problem like this. I had deleted all files under wifi library, but still fail. Appreciating for any way to solve it!

Can no longer connect to WiFi after iOS 6
After updating my iPhone 3GS to iOS 6.0 not 2 hours ago, everything seemed fine - for about 30 minutes. I soon lost all connections to my personal WiFi router in my house (both of them, actually). For a short period of time I was not even able to find networks in Settings>Wifi, even when standing next to my modem & routers.
No searches helped online, and Apple apparently doesn't believe in tech support emails, so I tried resetting my network settings. When I did that, it finally showed my 3 home WiFi networks. However, I'm no longer able to connect to them. When I click on one, it will take me to a "Log In" page at www.Apple.com, where it will say "Hmm, the page you're looking for can't be found" and send me back to the WiFi settings page, and put me on 3G.
This is really starting to get on my nerves, and I understand new OS' can be buggy, but this seems like a bit too major of a screw up to be a simple bug.
Any suggestions? If there's no way to fix it, Apple will have just lost another customer.Same thing here on all my devices. Basically it seems like there is a web page that the device attempts to connect to confirm internet connectivity after joining a WiFi network which seems to now be a bad link.
