Can't join wi-fi at home

Wi-fi works but not at my house. I know wi-fi is working because I use it to send signal to my tv to watch internet based channels.

Just had this problem.
I called the company and they said to shut off the router and power it back on again. This worked for me, but you might want to call the company first to see what they say.

    How can I join up my home videos in order to see them together, rather than in short bursts? In simple terms please?!

    You can research into the iMovie app and see what it'll do. I'm afraid I've never used it. But I know it does have a section on this forum so maybe someone there can answer your question.
    The only other way I can think of would be to get your files off your iPad and onto a computer and then get a video editing program (there are several that are inexpensive) and use that to put them together.

    I can not join the my home WIFI network. I have iPhone and iTouch connected as well as my windows laptop. I have trie power on rese, and network reset. What do I do next?

    This is something else you can try.
    Go to Settings>WiFi>Your Network Name (tap the blue arrow)>Forget this Network. Reboot your iPad, hold down on the sleep button at the top for a couple of seconds until the red slider appears, slide to shut down. Then press the sleep button again until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button and the iPad will restart. Try to join your network again.

  • Can't Join Group Chats, Can't Receive Files, and Skype Home Doesn't Work

    Okay, so back when Windows 8 was newer I got my current laptop and when I saw Skype's original Windows 8 design, I said hell no to that and downloaded an earlier version of Skype instead. When Skype did that big overhaul and stopped support for all older versions, I was at least happy to see it was back to being on the desktop instead of that Windows 8 pseudo-tablet nonsense. But at the same time, I stopped getting notifications from Skype Home - it always says it's unavailable. Some time after that, in between Skype's updates, I started having trouble with Groups. Every time someone tried to add me to one, I couldn't see it, even if they said I was in it on their screen. Eventually I had to start making all Group Chats myself, because at least then it worked for me... up until the 7.7 update. Now no matter how I try to get into a Group now, it straight up doesn't work. And before I got locked out of Groups entirely, I started having issues with files, right around when the "inline photos" thing happened - they just don't work when sent to me, and I can't send them either. When people try to send them to me it's just a grey image and something about how it's not supported or it didn't go through.  I've sort of just been patiently dealing with all of it until the newest update when Groups stopped working entirely and I was in the middle of trying to join an important conversation. I Googled that specific issue and found a ton of unresolved threads about it dating back to at least 2013, I believe. I tried every suggestion I could find - I restarted, uninstalled Skype, reinstalled Skype, restarted after uninstalling and then reinstalling... the list goes on. Every time I got it back, it was the same. Now I'm on Windows 8.1, and I don't know if that's related, but my boyfriend - who uses a Mac - is having none of these problems whatsoever, and he also has the latest version of Skype.  With older versions of Skype not available, I ended up trying Skype Web, and it's letting me see all the Groups, which is the most important thing but I'd really prefer to go back to the desktop version. All three of my issues might be unrelated, but they've all progressed as Skype has updated so I figured I'd try to get help for all of them. I'm at my wit's end, here. I use Skype for a pretty large portion of my online communication, and being unable to use Groups or get files is really crippling the experience. 

    Hi,
    I have the same problem.
    Since I'm using my new Laptop with Skype 7.0, I can't join to a group chat.
    It's a public chat and joining is enabled.
    With my former laptop and former Skype-Version, I never had this problem.
    I could click on a link in the browser and joined to the group.
    I have to chose a program.
    Unfortunately Skype.exe seems not to be the right decision.
    I'm asked to get a Skype-app, which I never needed with the old version.
    Which kind of app do I need and how can I get the app or what else can I do?

  • I have a mid-2010 iMac and just purchased a 2TB TC, can't join existing wireless network with AC standard so attached to iMac via ethernet with TC wifi turned off.  How do i access TC now? not showing up in disk utility or on desktop. working fine with TM

    I have a mid-2010 iMac and just purchased a 2TB TC, I just found out that it can't join existing wireless network with new AC standard so attached to iMac via ethernet with TC's wifi turned off.  How do i access TC now? not showing up in disk utility or on desktop. It is working fine with TM.  My cheeper seagate drives etc kept crashing, so i didnt trust cheeper back up options anymore.  Connected those drives to TM via firewire and could see the drives and access them.
    Also, I didn't want to bridge TC with my new fios router that I paid 100 dollars for, to get N speed and also paying 10 dollars more a month for fast speed.  I heard that bridging slows down everything and then there can be port issues with mail etc.  I connect to the internet via airport only and it is pretty fast. Getting over 50mbs downloads and over 30mbs uploads.  Plus everything in my home it connected to my fios router, airport express for music streaming, two apple tvs, vuezone camer system.  I really didn't want to monkey around too much with my system.  But are there other options to connect the new TC.  Can't find info anywhere for this and called apple who gave me the info above.  after hanging up, i see that i cant access my TC and I am wondering if i would have to reset it to turn wifi on again to make changes to the drive, turn off blinking light  or repair it in disk utility if it should become corrupted.
    For other with similar issues i did solve some other problems: when i connected it to my ethernet port on my iMac wifi stopped working.  Found that I had to turn off the ethernet in the system>network screen, but then TM didn't see the TC so i restarted after changes and then it saw it.
    Now a rant.  I can't believe in this wireless age that Apple would make a product that cant join a wireless net work.  The apple rep said i could return it and look for the previous TC that would join an existing wireless network.  Are we going backwards?
    Thanks!

    Ok... it is getting a bit clearer but there are still some questions.
    I connect to the internet via airport only and it is pretty fast.
    I was assuming airport in this statement in your first post meant the TC or the Express.. but I now realise we are still in the mass confusion stage where apple calls everything wireless an airport. So what you mean is the airport internal card of the computer??
    Also, I didn't want to bridge TC with my new fios router that I paid 100 dollars for, to get N speed and also paying 10 dollars more a month for fast speed.  I heard that bridging slows down everything and then there can be port issues with mail etc.
    I think this is mistaken.
    Putting the TC in bridge mode plugged into your FIOS will not slow the network.. nor will it cause mail or port issues.. in bridge the TC is just a fancy WAP and switch plus the network hard drive.
    If the computer is close it will be faster than the FIOS.
    You can run both wireless networks with different names.. so it is clear which is which. But you can also setup roaming so the computers themselves pick which is the best wireless.
    I tried extending the wireless net work and tried joining wireless network, but the TC kept crashing and I had to keep resetting the TC.  the Apple support person said these, extend wireless network and joint wireless network, are no longer a connection option with the new TC because of the new AC protocol.
    Thanks again!
    You cannot extend to a non-apple wireless router.
    You cannot use join a wireless network because when you do the ethernet ports will be cut off.
    But that has not changed.. I don't think Apple support is correct.. there has been no change with the AC model.. it is simply a fact that apple routers do not work in join wireless mode other than as a dumb client. The same applies to AC as to the earlier version.. but I have asked another person to check this.
    Join in the express is the only apple router that still allows an ethernet connection.
    For now you best use of the TC is bridged to the FIOS. Wireless you can sort out between several options.

  • I can't join a network, because everytime I type in the password, join greys out.  It has a lock sign next to the network name, but I'm not sure how to unlock it.

    I can't join a network, because everytime I type in the password, "join" turns grey.  There's a lock sign next to the network name, but I'm not sure how to unlock it.  Can you help me??

    The way you "unlock" it is by typing in the correct password. The lock indicates a private network that requires a password. Are you sure you have the correct password? Is this your own home network?
    Why don't you reboot your iPad and try to log in again. Hold down on the sleep button until the Apple logo appears on the screen, let go of the button and the iPad will shut off. Turn back on by pressing the sleep button again until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button. See if the iPad will accept your password.
    If that doesn't work, you could try tapping the blue arrow next to the network name and then tap Forget This Network. Restart your iPad as described above. Then go back to settings, tap WiFi, select the network and enter the password again and see if it works.

  • Can't Join CD Track?

    I've been able to select and Join CD tracks for years and suddenly the "join CD tracks" menu option in the advance menu is not available for use. It is gray and will not allow me to select it so I can't join tracks. Any ideas? Thanks, MJ

    Like others I have being loading audio books where each track is joined to form one but in the last few days this problem arose.
    What puzzled me was that having brought 4 books home from the library I was able to properly open the first book and process it as usual. This now sits in the system correctly identified and joined up. When I attempted to load the 2nd book it was possible to load the first 2 cds but on attempting to process the 3rd. the join tracks was greyed out. No matter what I tried it was not possible to load that cd or any subsequent ones. Books 3 and four suffered the same fate.
    Today I returned the books and collected a further 2 in an attempt to see if it was a problem with the original cds. This time the first book would automatically import the first track despite the preferences being set as Show CD. Again the option to join tracks was greyed out.
    Strangely enough the 2nd book when it was opened it immediately displayed all the tracks being joined and gave the full details of the book and I was able to immediately load this OK
    What worked properly before does not do so now.
    Can anyone offer a solution to the problem?

  • WinXP computers can't join the domain

    Hi, I'm setting up my first Xserve and I'm having troubles making WinXP machines join the domain.
    With OS X and Win98 clients I have no problems with the tests accounts I have created, but with with WinXP machines I get the error that they can't Join the domain becouse Access is Denied. I don't think is a configuration error on the server's services or the WinXP boxes becouse I can join the domain and access the account for diradmin OK from the WinXP boxes, so it may be an account configuration problem.
    Also the accounts have network home folders, don't know if this might also cause a problem, I did try with no home assigned and still got the same error.
    Any help would be appreciated

    Fixed the problem myself....
    Creted a new account and dindn't move anything on it, nothing managed and nothing changed on the account windows tab.
    Joined the domain with the diradmin account, and after the reboot used the new test user, logged in fine and home folder was mounted as a Network drive perfectly.
    Hope this helps someone in the future

  • HT4623 why cant i join my wifi at home?

    Why cant i join my wifi at home?

    Tried the hard reboot earlier today. Just tried the airplane/DoNotDisturb combo. That did work. I was able to reconnect to my wi-fi. Now 2nd problem. My wife can not send imessage to me. I thought it was because I was not connected to wi-fi. She has iphone 4(not on ios7). I have iphone5(ios7.0.3). When selecting my phone# to txt to me, it shows as "green", not "blue" which would send as imessage instead of SMS. I have a work phone which has SMS texting turned off due to company policy. I can send her txt message. He txt returns as "undelivered".
    I also tested the imessage by sending a txt to my apple ID. That seemed to work. So, I don't understand why txt to my phone # do not work but txt to my apple ID is working. Any thoughts on this?

  • 10.7 Client can't join 10.8 OD

    Hi everyone,
    did anyone of you encounter this problem? I have set up a new 10.8 Server, DNS, OD, AFP, etc. all working fine. I can join 10.8 Clients without a problem, login and network home also works fine. But I can’t join an older Mac mini running 10.7.4. This machine is not 10.8-compatible, but I thought that it’s at least capable of joining the OD of the 10.8 Server. It was bound to a 10.7 OD before without a problem. But when I select its (autodiscovered & correct) DNS name from the Users/Login options prefpane all I get is the initial message that the server uses a self-signed SSL certificate (true & also shown on 10.8 clients). After selecting Trust I only get "Could not connect to directory server". Error -2100
    Any ideas what’s causing this?
    Thanks
    Björn

    Don’t ask me why, it is working now.

  • Can't connect to wifi at home on MacBook Pro or iPhone 4S

    I recently moved and got set up with a new (cable) internet provider. Since that time, I have been unable to connect to wireless on my MacBook Pro or my iPhone 4S. I can connect via ethernet. I can connect via other people's wireless (coffee shops, library, etc.). Sometimes, I get a "connection timeout error occurred" message. Other times, it looks like wifi is connected, but when I try to visit a URL on a browser, the blue bar moves about a centimeter across the address bar and stops. Email doesn't work, etc. The technician who set up my internet tried for nearly three hours to figure out why it wasn't working and concluded it must be a problem with my computer. It seems odd that I would only have problems at home, but I'm not an expert. Hoping someone here is, and can help. I work from home so this is rather frustrating (especially since connecting via ethernet means sitting in the living room instead of my office and tempting the dog to trip on the cord). Thanks for reading!

    What is the make & model of the new wireless router that you ISP has provided you? Are you able to administer it if needed?
    For the MacBook Pro, try the following, in order, until (hopefully) resolved:
    1a. Delete Preferred Network(s)
    System Preferences > Network > Wi-Fi > Advanced > Wi-Fi tab
    Under "Preferred Networks," delete the network(s) you regularly use from the list.
    1b. Delete AirPort Keychain Entries
    Launch the "Keychain Access" application located in Applications/Utilties.
    In the windows on the left side: Select login for Keychains and "All Items" for Category.
    Click on the "Kind" filter at the top, and look for any "AirPort network password" entries...and delete them.
    1c. Add Preferred Network(s)
    System Preferences > Network > Wi-Fi > Advanced > Wi-Fi tab
    Add the preferred network(s) using the "+" button.
    Restart or log out then back in.
    2. Move System Configuration Files
    (Note: You will have to reestablish your network connections settings.)
    Go to /Library/Preferences
    Move the SystemConfiguration folder to the desktop.
    Restart your Mac. (Note: OS X will rebuild the files that are now sitting on your desktop. If this doesn't resolve the issue, you can move the folder back to it's original location.)

  • Can't even connect to my home network.

    Title says it all, bought a 64gig iPad wifi today...little did i know tons of users are having wifi problems...my problem doesnt seem to fit the others though. Most of what i've read people can connect for a bit, and after being in sleep mode then it has problems. I can't even connect to my home network. Works fine with my ipod Touch, laptop, etc. I dont have any form of security set up on my router what so ever. I plan on buying a new router soon (for reasons other than this iPad crap.) I'd really like to see some kind of resolution to this problem before i need to do that though.
    I tried all that i could out of the trouble shooting stuff. nothing worked. I even tried setting up a static IP for it. What else can be done? i really dont want to have to return it since its such a nice piece of tech.

    Umm... one of the questions that's been asked is whether his iPad will connect anywhere else, If it will, the issues is between the iPad and the particular configuration he has at home. If not, the issue is with the iPad.
    Since we don't have an answer to that question yet, your inference that anyone is telling him to "phone ahead to every business or hotel he plans on visiting to request that they replace their "clunky old router" " is unjustified and unhelpful.
    Please, continuously blaming every ipad wifi issue on the same router that happily works with every other device is getting old. What standards does iPad support that these clunky old routers do not?
    Since, as you've said in another post, you're experienced in the ways of the internet, you will know that it's quite common for new kit to have problems connecting to old kit.
