Can't find home network after 2.4 update

As the title says, after updating to 2.4 my apple tv cannot see my wireless network. It can see just about every other network in my street. If I restore to 1.0 it connects fine, upgrade to 2.4, no sign of my network. I tried this 3 times now just to make sure it is not a fluke.
Has anyone else had this problem?
I am using a Belkin F5D8631 nothing has changed on this set up, I have 3 macs, 2 phones and a wireless printer all connected to it with no problems.
Any suggestions?

This may not be your problem, but:
Channel 12 and 13 are not used in all countries, it might be that your tv is defaulting to US settings after the update, it might be the case that the tv no longer works on these channels.

Can't find home drive after reinstallation of O.S.X

Dear friends,
I have one ibook G4 and a Macbook Pro. Two days ago, the ibook G4 failed to start up, I tried in safe mode then pass through. Then I run Onyx-automation followed by restart, after that neither my desktop nor the sidebar of the finder window show the home drive icons,( I partitioned the internal hard disk into two drives). But when I run Disk utility and found both are there correctly, including the files and capacity, usage etc. it tested both drives "appears OK". Yesterday, I tried to reinstall O.S.X Tiger 10.4 without removing previous system via a firewire to my Macbook Pro which installed with Leopard( the disc drive of my ibookG4 corrupted last year).
finally, the hard drives are still invisible, I did tick the display options for hard disks from the preference panel of Finder. To the worse, the same problem happened to my Macbook Pro after I restarted it.
It seems a simply software issue, physically the hard disks are ok through the disk verify and permission verify.
Headache! Please advise ASAP.
thank you,

what happens when you enter commandshiftc in finder? that should show all the drives. if it doesn't, maybe the drive has acquired the hidden flag. run the following command in terminal
sudo chflags 0 /
you'll have to enter your admin password which you won't see as you type it. that's normal. see if the drive shows up.

dear V.K.
When I enter commandshiftc in finder, it only shows up "network", then I followed to input sudo chflags 0 / in terminal and password, but the drives still not show up.
is there any other options to try out?

these permissions look fine. sorry, i don't know what the problem is or why the drive would not show in finder. does it happen on all accounts? make a new one and check from there.

hi, V.K.
after running the two commands, suddenly, The Macintosh HD icon showed up at both desktop and sidebar in finder, but the other drive (I partition into two parts) still not showing. Then I open Onyx and tick the "unhidden those hidden files", I found that drive. So I conclude it was hidden by sth. But I don't know how to unhidden it, the icon always in grey.
Can you please instruct again.
thank you.

aha, so it was a hidden flag after all. then run
sudo chflags 0 /volumes/*
you may need to restart after that to make the second drive show up.

Dear V.K,
I run the command at my Macbook Pro, my second drive show up. So exceited! However, when I tried with my ibook G4, neither drives come out, is there any difference in the commands between Tiger and leopard. just now, I check the hidden files with Onyx, both drives are there.
Pls guide me.
thanks

sorry, I haven't dealt with Tiger in such a long time I don't remember if it respects chflags. ask on Tiger forums.

I don't have a source attribute for this (maybe I wrote it myself!):
There are visibility toggling instructions at [this web site|http://www.pinkmutant.com/articles/invisible.html] using Terminal or Applescript.
If you don't like Applescript or Terminal there is an application called [JuhOS X|http://www.saunalahti.fi/~juhruo/juhosx> that lets you toggle visibility on individual items. It does not have the most intuitive interface but your drive should appear on the first page. Check it really is invisible, then click on the drive and toggle visibility. Effects will not take place until you restart your finder, so the easiest thing to do then will be to restart your computer.

Can Not Find Home Network On iPad 2

I have reset my network settings, reset iPad, and reset my router. I tried toggling airplane mode and Bluetooth on/off. I have not found anything that works. I have an IPad 2 and my daughter has one as well. Her iPad does not have a problem connecting to our home network but mine can not even find the network for some reason even when I'm right at the router. I have seen a lot of threads that says people began having this problem after the update but I didn't update my device and it has never done this before. it started this problem yesterday. Is there anyone else having this problem and maybe found something that will fix it?

JimHdk has the Fest suggestion. Take your iPad to some place that has free Wi-Fi like your library or a Starbucks. You might also try a friends Wi-Fi. If your iPad works with those other networks I would suspect a problem with your router. But if you iPad does not connect at those other locations you most likely have a hardware problem. In that case make an appointment at an Apple store for a consultation.

Wicd can't find hidden network after update to 1.6.2.2-1 [Solved]

Hi, everybody
I have a problem with wicd after last night update from 1.6.2-1 to 1.6.2.2-1. I am using wireless with hidden ESSID on my linksys wrt54gl. After update to new version WICD can't find my hidden network when I go Network - Find a hidden network . My router stays hidden.
I downgrade to 1.6.0.2 as a temporary solution and it works with no problems. Does anybody else have a same problem?
Another strange thing that I didn't notice before. We have 2 computers (other one is imac with osx) that use wireless connection on same router. Yesterday I notice that my connection (wicd 1.6.2.1 on eeepc) is dropping now and then when other computer is using safari to surf?! Thats why I downgrade so low to 1.6.0.2. Any ideas?

Especially this was fixed in 1.6.2.2, so this is very strange that it doesn't work anymore. Maybe you can try this, it was mentioned in another thread which helped some people:
thefatprecious wrote:I had an issue as well after the update. The first thing I tried was to make a backup of the old one and delete the /etc/wicd/wireless-settings.conf file. Restarted /etc/rc.d/wicd and let it create a new file. After that I setup my network profile again and haven't had an issue. You may want to give that a shot if you haven't tried that already...

That shouldn't be a problem which comes from wicd. wicd only uses wpa_supplicant stuff under the hood to connect to a network.

Can't Find Home network

My Iphone 4 doesn't recognize my home network...neither automatically or manually. I have an airport express setup with ethernet plugged into my Time capsule, then networked with my MacBook and IMac. It doesn't show in the list and when I enter it as "other" I get a "not found" message.
Any help? Thanks...

This may not be your problem, but:

My phone 4s won't connect to home network after ios 6 update

Okay, right after I downloaded the new ios 6 update my phone has been unable to connect to my home wifi. I already did the whole switching my router from WPA to WEP and did the whole forget this network. When I selected my network again, it asked for my password, which I put in correctly. Right after the loading star popped up beside it and thats how it stayed. Can anyone help me out on this? Be much appreciated.

Reset your iPhone. Hold Sleep Key and Home Key together for more than 15 sec. Now try your App Store again.

Ipad2 can't find home wireless network

Hi there.
I'm getting reeeeeeeeeeeeeeally frustrated. My ipad2 had no problem finding my home network when I first bought it but I've recently had a problem with my talktalk phone line (it was down over the weekend) and now my ipad can't find my network! My desktop pc is connected and I can connect to the internet no problem. I'm using a Huawei Echolife HG520b wireless router. Even after following talktalk's instructions on-line I've not been able to find my user name/password to try and connect manually.
Can anyone help??

Sing-
Unplug your WiFi router for a few seconds. Then reset the iPad's network. Go to Settings-General-Reset-Reset Network Settings. You will need to reconnect the iPad to WiFi. I'm not sure how you would reset the Kindle, but unplugging the WiFi may solve the problem for it as well.
If the problem continues, see <Troubleshooting WiFi Networks and Connections>.

My iphone 4 can't find a network

I bought my iphone 4 in Ny and brought to Brazil. It was working fine till last Friday. It can't find a network anymore. It says on the upper left corner "no service" instead of showing the carrier name and its signal. I tried to contact my carrier but it seems to be everything fine, I even tried de microchip on my Ipad and it worked perfectly, so it should be a proclem with the phone.
I tried to reset the device, but nothing seems to work.
Anyone could help me on this, please!!!
(excuse my lousy english, please!)

1. Try doing a hard reset:
Press and hold both the Home button and the Sleep/wake button simultaneously for about 15 seconds and release when the Apple logo appears.
2. If that doesn't work, use this article for troubleshooting: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1398
3. If that doesn't solve the issue, backup the device and restore it as new.
In that case, use: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137
NB: set up as a NEW device because a software issue will be in the backup. If the issue persists after restoring as new, you should offer the device for service.
If you get specific error messages/codes in iTunes when updating/restoring, check this: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3694 for causes and solutions
If you restore your iPhone to factory settings without a backup and still can't detect/connect to any network, you should offer the device for service.
Good luck

IPhone 3GS, doesn't find any network after updating to iOS 4.1

I recently updated my iPhone 3GS, and now I can't find any network. This really bothers me as I need a phone. How can I fix this?

Do the following in the order specified:
1. Power your phone off, wait ~30 seconds, then power it back on. If no change, proceed:
2. Reset your phone: Press the sleep/wake button & home button at the same time, keep pressing until you see the Apple logo, then release(ignore the slide to power off). If no change, proceed:
3. Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings.
If no change after the above, post back.

I updated my 4S phone to IOS 7.1.2 and lost my wi-fi. The wi-fi is on, but can't find ANY networks. I have been through all the steps, from turning the phone on and off, resetting the network settings, resetting the whole phone, redownloading 7.1.2 and lastly going to the Apple store for help. They tried all the exact same steps I did, took the phone apart and looked at and said it is in "pristine" condition. They have no idea why it isn't working, but they could offer to sell me another phone. This is extremely annoying! They claim it has nothing to do with the update to 7.1.2, but that is when I lost the wi-fi, so it has to be related!

My 4s i-phone which is 2 years old cannot find any wi-fi networks not even my home network... I had the same problem two months ago but i turned off the i-phone for 8 hours and then it was okay... Now it happened again.... I tried to restart the modem but whilst my laptop is connected regularly, my phone still cannot find any wi-fi networks... I restart the i-phone, i reset it, i chose reset network settings, reset all settings, i turned it off for a whole day in case it was overloaded, i turned on the airplane mode and turned it off again, i put it into the freezer for 10 minutes within a zipped bag but 3 days now and i still cannot be connected to my home wifi... I went to the technician today and he told me that it means that wi-fi is broken and that i need to change it with a charge of 70 euro but i have to give my phone for 10 working days so as to be fixed... I am so frustrated and i don't know if i want to give 70 euro for wifi since i don't know if it would make the same problems again...

Can not access home network via ipod touch, password entered not accepted

Can not access home network via ipod touch, password entered not accepted
Trying to help my son set up his ipod touch to connect to the network and the password I entered is not accepted.
1. Which password is required? I entered the password I use for logging into my router
2. The home network is recognized, when selected it requires a password to be entered, but I am just not sure what password it is looking for to connect.
I have not been able to find any information on this subject

jersey0904, Welcome to the discussion area!
You need to enter the wireless encryption password... not the administrative password for the router.

My Apple TV suddenly can't find my network and tells me it is not connected..help?

My Apple TV suddenly can't find my network and tells me it is not connected..help? I have reset my time capsule and have all the latest updates. My iPhone and ipad do not show airplay even though I have it turned on in Apple TV.

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.
Restart your mobile device.

Upgraded as prompted, noiw it can't find my network

I was prompted to upgrade airport express software, but after I did ("successful" it said) it searches but can't find my network. I ran airport utility and it found no problems.

Apple have messed up big with teh latest updates to a lot of things they have been forcing upon you. Itunes 10.2 destroyed Airtunes, and something Apple did has caused my network, which has been like a rock for 6 years working flawlessly, to act so erratically that I just don't care anymore. I now have AEX devices flashing yellow and not seen on Airport utility, yet I can play music through airtunes on them. I have an Airport extreme connected to the cable modem to use as a wireless router that will disappear from the utility, yet my internet connection over wireless is unaffected.
It is so FUBAR'd right now I have stopped caring, and will have to wait for Apple to fix all the problems they created with these new updates they are rolling out for purposes I don't really understand.
It is a system that once worked flawlessly as advertised, to something that I don't even try to use anymore. It's frustrating, but what can you do. I just try to complain to Apple enough until I feel I have been heard. I keep my fingers crossed with each update to fix the problems that obviously exist, and each time the updates make the system even worse.
