Can't join Wi-Fi

I just got the touch today and i can't access a wi fi network. I've gone in to settings and turned WiFi on and "ask to join networks on". Netwroks come up but they all have little locks next to them and when I click on them I have to give a password. How do I get a password?

Puckman751,
WiFi networks are all over the place. People have them in their homes... companies have them in their offices... stores and restaurants have them for customer use... and so on.
Some people/companies will let you use their WiFi networks for free, whenever you want.
Other people/companies will charge you a fee to use their WiFi networks, and you must pay them for a key to use it.
If you see a lock next to a WiFi network.. it's not free... and you must seek permission to use it.
You can also set up your own WiFi network by purchasing a wireless router and hooking it up to your Internet connection at your home.

  • 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.

  • Can you please help me by saying me how can i join two different picture to make it as one picture.??

    Hi Sir/ Madam,
       My name is Rishav and I am facing some problem with my Photoshop CC. Actually I have a question. If you guys could help me out i will be very obliged. The quest in "Can you please help me by saying me how can i join two different picture to make it as one picture.??"

    Maybe you should post over at
    Photoshop for Beginners
    or start with the "Get Started" section of the Help:
    Photoshop Help | Photoshop Help
    And your question
    Can you please help me by saying me how can i join two different picture to make it as one picture.??
    does not seem particularly specific – do you want to simply combine two images as they are, do you want to clip elements from the one and insert them into the other, …?
    Could you post (lores of) the images and explain what you intend to achieve?

  • Can't "join" started hello conversation without camera on firefox

    Hello there
    So as title says I can't join a conversation I started with Hello app. I can create the room, share the link and I receive a notification that my other partner connected, but we can't hear\see each other. We both have FF36. Also on his side when he joins the room, he can see a text in the middle saying "you are the first to join the room". Weird thing is that I can absolutely join other people room, and it works correctly!
    The thing I think I noticed is that people with a camera can start and " host" properly a call. Another guy i know with my same setup (no camera and only mic on a desktop pc) has my exact same issue, can't host but can join other people rooms with a camera. Unfortunately we tested only with people that use laptops with integrated camera, so I don't have other people with my setup that can try and test if what i say is true.
    I don't know if I was clear enough on this, tell me if you need more info. We all had Windows machine, with win 7\8 no issue on that, different networks, ecc... only thing I noticed is that they all have a camera, me and the other guy don't.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks a lot!
    PS is there any eta for Hello on Firefox for android? As of now I can join but I can't find a way to start a conversation!

    there are various programs like https://manycam.com that install an (additional) virtual camera driver on your pc to apply some after effects and so forth - you could try if this is enough to trick firefox hello. i haven't tried that so far ;-)

  • IPhone can't join network (WPA-PSK)

    I have a D-Link DI-524 router and it had always been set to WEP until I bought my Macbook Pro recently. Everything worked fine with WEP - my iphone, playstation 3, old laptop. But my macbook couldn't work with WEP, so I changed my router security setting to "WPA-PSK/WPA-PSK2"(shown as an option on the router setup page). Now my macbook and playstation 3 both work with the new setting, but not the iphone....it can detect the network but when I type in the correct password it says can't join the network. I've tried resetting the iphone network, rebooting it, still not working.
    I never got to the bottom of why my macbook can't work with WEP, but as long as it works with WPA that's fine so that I can at least use the web. I'm alright with having to use 3G on my iphone too, but it'll be very inconvenient if I have to download certain apps that require a wifi connection.

    Try the steps in the article below:
    iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    Another easy way to isolate the cause of the issue is by trying to connect those devices to another wifi network.

  • 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 tables.query dependency not found "" in EUL

    hi ALL,
    i created one report in disco 3.1.38 and its' running fine but after storing it in database and then again trying to open it from database it gives me error "can't join tables."name of query folder" dependency not found "" in EUL"
    if any one has come across such problem and has solution for it ..please reply back.
    thanks in anticipation
    manish

    Manish,
    I have not run into this error before and maybe one of the oracle consultants could answer this better. But I here it goes. I would first try a refresh on the folders that the report in question is using. Is it possible that the under lining tables have changed? Do you have another copy of the same report outside of the database and does it still work?

  • Can we join Multiple Databases tables in PRD File ?

    Hi ,
    I am working on POC project and trying to Join Multiple Databases to create one rpd file . Lets say I have complete SH schema from Oracle and I want couple of tables (Time and Products) tables from Sybase .
    I want bring sybase TIME and Product tables into Oracle SH Schema and create joins in physical layer. When I try to do it, it is throughing an error .. Am I missing some thing here ?
    Is it possible?
    Thanks
    Shivaji

    You have not mentioned what is the error!!!
    we can create join b/w the tables of different databases
    You need to select the table from one database and aswell as other table in other database and
    right click > physical join > selected tables only...
    This is the way of creating physical joins... or else you select both the databases and select physical joins...
    It's better that you mention what is the error you are getting..??
    Thanks & Regards

  • Can we join two totals tables in ABAP Query

    Hi,
    Report painter majorily operates around characteristics and key figures.
    ABAP query comes even more handy.  The advantage is -
    1. You can link many tables
    2. Create selection screen as you like to have
    3. User friendly report creation
    4.  Logic can also be coded.
    5. Authorization can be set
    I have written a article in SDN, which gives you an idea as to how to go about using ABAP query.  Have a look on this - [Article - Practical Usage of ABAP Query|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/20f6b256-23be-2b10-8b93-cad83a617634]

  • Can't join calendar; already owner

    My wife and I use the same Apple id for purchases and I have separate id for other use.  I tried to share a calendar withe my wife while signed into iCloud with my separate id.  She got the invite to join email; however, when she enters her apple id (common for iTunes) she gets the message "can't join...your're already the owner".  Must she have a separate unique Apple id for calendar sharing?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    Are you sure that neither of you are signed into each others iCloud account at settings > mail, contact, calendars.

  • I can't join LAP to WLC 5508 in difference subnet

    i can't join LAP to WLC in difference subnet now i create 2 interface [management / ap-manager]
    management : 192.168.1.1 / 24
    ap-manager : 192.168.1.2 / 24 vlan 10

    ap-manager3 : 192.168.3.2 / 24 vlan 12
    connect with core switch 3 interface [access port vlan same wlc]
    or how create wlc interface for join with LAP please advise me or send capture screen for me to create all interface
    Thank you for best support.

    I created a video actually how to configure option 43 on my site.
    http://www.my80211.com/cisco-wlc-labs/2009/7/4/cisco-dhcp-option-43-configuration-nugget.html
    So when you fire up an AP it goes through a few steps to find the controller.
    1) It does a broadcast and if your APs are on the same VLAN as your apmangers/managment then she will connect
    2) If it isnt on the sanme vlan it will attempt to reslove CISCO-LWAPP-CONTROLLER or CISCO-CAPWAP-CONTROLLER. This is where you would need to create an A-record in your DNS server and reslove it to your MANAGEMENT controller IP address
    3) Also Option43. When your AP gets an IP address, you can add option 43 to the scope. Option 43 again tells the AP where to find the controller.
    Now you can do a manual prime to these as well. Extend your managment vlan to a switch and have the APs join. Once they take the download and config they will know the controllers ip address. And then you can deploy them on different vlans and they will join ...
    Does this make sense?
