Cannot connect to home wi-fi. temporarily connects then disconnects ?

My Droid-X cannot connect to my wi-fi home router. using WPA2-PSK. Phone sees network but will not connect ?
At one point is connected for a few seconds only ?

    We certainly want you to be connected at home amc129!
Lets take a look at this! Have you been able to connect previously to the WPA2-PSK setting? Can you connect with other WiFi networks like normal? If so, I recommend contacting the router provider, as a software update or settings change may be necessary. Please keep me posted!
Thanks,

  • MacBook Pro won't connect to home wifi, but will connect to other networks

    Help! MacBook Pro won't connect to home wifi but will connect to other networks. Others can connect to my home network. I've tried diagnostics, resetting the router, restarting my computer, and forgetting the network and then trying to access it. Nothing works.

  • When I connect my iPod to the computer, it connects for only about 5 seconds and then disconnects on its own before synching. How do I fix this?

    I had my iTunes and library on my home computer.  The computer crapped out along with the hard drive.  I have my library on my iPod and want to put it on my new computer, but any time I connect the iPod to my home computer (and work computer for that matter), it only connects for about 5 seconds and then disconnects on its own.  I go to look at the iPod as a hard drive and I have nothing but empty folders (contacts, calendar, recordings and something else), but nothing is in them.
    1) How do I get my iPod to connect to my computer?
    2) How do I get my iPod to connect to iTunes?
    3) Why don't my music files on my iPod show up on my computer?
    I have uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled iTunes.  I have done the "trick" of hitting the 'Menu and Center' buttons at the same time unitl the Apple icon appears.  I have tried going into Disk Mode.  I don't know what to do now.  The word "Resetting" scares me because this is where I have my 150 GB of music stored and I'd rather not have to upload my CD's again.............will resetting affect that?  The word "Restore" is even scarier!!!
    Help!

    i am using a cable connector like this one.. it works with audio when pluged into a stereo but not a TV.i am trying to display video from ipod, also from other apps.. i also want to know why it does not work.
    i use the video app on the iPod and video stored on other aps.

  • Macbook Pro not connecting to Home Wi-Fi but connects to work Wi-Fi

    Hi there.
    I am using Macbook Pro with Mac OS X 10.8.5. My Macbook is suddenly not getting wireless internet connection from my Wireless Router (It is connected to my Wi-Fi though). All other devices (iPhone, iPad, Windows PC) are connected to the same Router and have internet access without any problem. Same Macbook works fine with the Wi-Fi at work but having problem connecting to internet with Wi-Fi at home.
    Well, I have been looking for the solution to this problem for a week now. Here is what I have already tried
    - Zapped PRAM (didn’t work)
    - Deleted System Configuration Folder in /Library/Preferences/ (didn’t work)
    - Removed Network connections and tried adding them again in Wi-Fi Advanced Settings (didn’t work).
    - Tried Apple’s Wireless Diagnostics (didn’t work)
    - Tried Wireless Assistant (didn’t work)
    - Tried creating new locations (didn’t work)
    - Tried deleting and adding Wi-Fi service (didn’t work)
    - Reset Router (didn’t work)
    - Changed security setting in Router from WPA2 to open (didn’t work)
    - Tried dscacheutil - flushcache
    The only thing works is changing DNS server to 8.8.8.8 from default (192.168.1.1 which is greyed out). It works but speed is very slow which is already very annoying.
    Need suggestions on what to do in this regard?

    Solved! (for me anyhow).
    I removed all entries in my 'Manage Networks' tab, and reentered the home network info (SSID is not broadcast, WPA), then the phone immediately found the network.
    Mobile data happened to be on at the time (no idea if that has anything to do with it).
    Chain of events
    - received phone while out of town.  everything worked as expected. no chance to try wifi on the road.
    - returned home after holidays and tried wifi at home, no luck (like above).  I did have some typos and all subsequent attempts to connect were via 'edits' to an existing network entry.  Note, my laptops and Nook Color had no trouble connecting.
    - went to work, wifi worked flawlessly in office as well as at local starbucks
    - returned home and tried again, numerous attempts. no luck
    - restarted router (TDS/actiontec GT724-WG) to no effect
    - tried to reset router (forgot my pw, fortunately, it didn't reset)
    - finally gave up, figured that I need to change some router setting- recall SSID is not broadcast, and using WPA
    - grabbed a beer (the secret solution?), and had a thought to simply remove my earlier entries in the network list and reenter the correct info cleanly.
    - phone immediately found network and connected- good to go!
    Now, I really really like the phone (if I can just get Tango to work...)
    Hope this helps someone.

  • Ipod classic connects to Itunes for a few seconds, then disconnects. Cannot sync!

    Help! I have followed all guidelines to uninstall Itunes and related software many times in the past two days. I have reinstalled multiple versions (downgrades) - none have worked. I have tried disabling processes, running Windows in safe mode, and running Itunes in safe mode. I have tried reinstalling the driver. All with the same result.
    My ipod classic connects to the computer, shows up as a USB drive, and shows up for a few seconds in Itunes. As soon as it shows up in Itunes, the ipod screen says "synchronizing" (I do not have it set to auto-synchronize), then it immediately says "ok to disconnect." At this point, I can click the ipod icon in Itunes, but anything I try to do says the ipod can't be found (because it ejects itself when it's picked up by itunes).
    I have tried resetting the ipod (not restoring) and I have tried to connect it under a different user on the same computer with the same result. At first when I reinstalled itunes I kept getting error messages or obvious problems with the install, but I finally got what seems to be a clean install without any error messages of version 12.0.1.26. All the other version 12's gave me ituneshelper64 dll errors. Any earlier versions and I can get my library back in, but it isn't correct.
    I have a Sony Vaio running Windows 7 64-bit. I used my ipod many days a week to listen to books and music on the road. Please help!

    Indeed. I forgot about them. Thanks.

  • I cannot connect to Home Sharing on iTunes, so that I can send movies and TV shows to another computer.  The other "library" does not come up in the box on the upper right side of the iTunes screen.  I tried disconnecting each computer from Home Sharing.

  • Connected to home network, but cannot access internet on ipad

    I have got strong signal on home network but cannot access the internet. Tried resets, etc

    It could be a simple problem that needs a reset for the related devices. Other than that, try to control the security settings and passwords of your home network. You might be using WEP password protocol to connect your home network. Try to use WPA protocol instead of WEP. Maybe it will help to solve your problem.

  • I cannot retrieve the password for the wifi connection on my imac and so cannot access the internet with my ipad at home.  I have a cable modem. Help please!

    I cannot retrieve the password for the wifi connection on my imac and so cannot access the internet with my ipad at home.  I have a cable modem. Help please!

    If you mean that you cannot remember the password for your WiFi network this will work for you - or it should work if you are the administrator on the Mac.
    You will need to be logged in as the administrator on your Mac and you must know the password - Open Keychain Access on your Mac in the utilities folder, click on Passwords. Find the Airport Network Password listed on the right. Double click on it. Click on show password in the the window that pops up. Enter your administrator password when prompted and click allow.
    If Keychain is locked - you must enter the administrator password there as well to unlock it and access the password.
    If you have set the Mac up for Internet Sharing for the iPad to share the Mac's connection, just create a new network On the Mac with Internet sharing and a new password.

  • I cannot get my Macbook Pro retina to connect to my BT Home hub.

    Hi,
    I cannot get my Macbook Pro Retina to connect to my BT homehub either wirelessly or through ethernet using the thunderbolt adaptor.  I know that this is a problem with my IP address as in Network Settings it tells me that
    'Thunderbolt Ethernet has a self-assigned IP address and will not be able to connect to the Internet.'
    I know that my internet connection is fine as I can plug the ethernet cable back into my PC and it works fine.  Also, my phone and ipad connect wirelessly just fine.
    Bt have told me to contact Apple, but I can't get hold of Apple till tomorrow.
    Amyone know how to overcome this?
    I did also find my IP address and enter it manually, at which point netwrok settings showed my ethernet connection as green and connected, but it still wasn't working.
    Thanks

    Same for wifi.  I have put in my IP address manually for the wifi network and it has gone green and connects to the hub, but gives me an exclamation mark on the wifi bar and still doesnt connect to the internet.
    I am writing this whilst connected to the internet on the same laptop but connected to BTFON which is a really slow public network I have access to as a BT customer.

  • Cannot connect my home PC to BT Broadband

    Hi
    I am relatively new to BT Broadband and am finding it impossible to connect my home laptop to the internet. The laptop is a 2009 Toshiba with a Pentium processor and Windows Vista. The BT hub is a Hub 4. I have followed all the initial setup instructions and help FAQs, and to all intents and purposes the laptop appears to have connected successfully. However, it will only allow local use. Even on the Homehub manager, it is showing as connected (at 2.4 Ghz, as opposed to 5Ghz for all other devices - iPad, IPhones text). To be honest I'm at a bit of a loss were to go with this (other than back to SKY). Can anyone offer any help?

    As well as what Keith has suggested it could be that your computer has IPv6 selected. Try disconnecting it as follows:
    Select Start
    In the search field type.ncpa.cpl and press enter.
    In the new window right click on your wireless network connection and select properties
    In “This connection uses the following items” section remove the tick beside Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6) then press OK
    Left click on Internet Protocol IPv4, click properties . Check the options to obtain IP address and DNS server address automatically.
    Once done try and connect to internet.

  • Iphone4 wont connect to home wifi connects to neighbors..others iphones ipads connect to this wifi cannot change it and cannot access apps store. Does nor request password just "cannot access"

    Iphone 4 wont connect to home wifi but connects to neighbors open wifi.  Family members with iphones can connect to the wifi automatically and Mac compiuter in home connects to this wifi and this iphone did connect automaticcally until a few weeks ago.  Does not request password when try to connect to own wifi..just says "cant access.". Also cant access the Apple apps store to purchase apps but all other function operate normally. Apple store tech says nothing wrong with phone. It connected to their wifi and coud access apps store from their wifi.     This iphone belongs to son who is autistic.  I am mother trying to resolve this issue and very frustrated.  Have reset router but no change.

    Based on the symptoms, your phone is fine, and the Router is the problem.   Try http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398.  Specifically the "forget this network" step.  I would also consider resetting the wifi network password.  Sometimes that will allow a connection.

  • Could not connect to " home shared iTunes library name "

    I'm having an issue with iTunes/ Apple TV. Actually it has been ongoing. I have a particular iTunes library shared on a private subnet (together with the Apple TVs) from a Mac Mini. I can connect and play content any time with iTunes on another computer 100% reliably. But around 60% of the time when I try to connect to it from any of my four Apple TV (2's) an error comes up saying "Could not connect to "<home shared iTunes library name>" ", "Make sure the computer is on the same network as your Apple TV. the iTunes version is up to date and iTunes is running". The answer to those questions (as always with such messages is obviously 'yes':
    Yes of course we are on the same network. If I wasn't, the library wouldn't have even shown up in the first place before selecting it
    Yes iTunes as always is the latest version thanks to Mac Software Update
    Again 'dah'. See response #1
    If I restart the offending iTunes library the error is resolved (although sometimes it does require reboot of the Apple TV) but could reappear as early as within the next 24 hours. This issue has been occuring for a very long time however appears to be increasing in frequency. It occured as well on the Apple TV (v1).
    Anyone with clues on what's going on here?
    Thanks
    Greg

    I agree that the first debug point should be the network. Though like Greg, I use a Mac Mini to serve up movies to a couple of Apple TVs. From the 'problem' Apple TV, I could see other iTunes movie libraries on other Mac(s), and those would work/play fine. It's only when I try to connect to the iTunes Library of the Mac Mini that I have this issue. It's almost like it's asleep, and doesn't respond. Though I can mount the library folder, and play movies from other Macs w/o a problem while the Apple TV still has the problem.
    As Greg mentions, closing and re-opening iTunes on the Mini solves the issue (though only temporarily).
    The only difference that I have (non-consistency) is that my Mac Mini is an older model, and cannot be upgraded to run Lion (10.7.x) like my other Macs. The Mini is running 10.6.8, and iTunes 10.6.1 (32-bit). My Macs are running 10.7.3 and the 64-bit version of iTunes 10.6.1.
    Is it possible it could be a 10.6 vs. a 10.7 issue? Greg, which version of OS X are your Macs running?

  • How do I use my wireless Led TV as a second monitor using my home network without any cables? Both of them are connected to home network

    How do I use my wireless Led TV as a second monitor to my mac book pro using my home network without any cables? Both of them are connected to home network

    Having a gateway there is not going to be a problem. We just need to configure the Time Capsule correctly to work with the 2Wire.
    You will need one ethernet cable to connect the 2Wire to the Time Capsule and a second ethernet cable to temporarily connect your computer to the Time Capsule so that it can be configured.
    The 2Wire you have now should already be broadcasting a wireless network, so once you have the Time Capsule setup, you will actually have two wireless networks there.
    Here's how to configure the Time Capsule to work with the 2Wire:
    Connect an ethernet cable from one of the LAN <-> ports on the 2Wire to the WAN (circle icon) port on the Time Capsule.
    Connect another ethernet cable temporarily from your computer to one of the LAN <-> ports on the Time Capsule
    Open Hard Drive > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
    Click Manual Setup
    Click the Base Station tab below the row of icons to assign a name for the Time Capsule, a device password (write this down) and adjust time zone settings
    Click the Wireless tab below the row of icons
    Wireless Mode....Create a wireless network
    Wireless Network Name....Your choice
    Radio Mode....Automatic
    Channel...Automatic
    Wireless Security...WPA/WPA2 Personal
    Wireless Password....Your choice (write this down)
    Check mark next to....Remember password in keychain
    Click the Internet icon
    At the bottom, change the setting for Connection Sharing to "Off (Bridge Mode)"
    Click Update at the lower right and the Time Capsule will restart after 20-25 seconds and you should get the green light.
    You should now be able to connect to your Time Capsule wireless network.
    I'm not clear on whether you have tried to setup the Time Capsule to backup your computer. Post back if you need some info on that. We may need to start another thread for that as that will be a different subject.

  • MacBook Pro 2010 Can't Connect To Home Wifi

    Hey,
    My home was setup with a Cisco Linkysys wireless router (about 2 years old) and at the time the iMac that was hardwired to the router and other devices like an iPod/ iPhone and a Nintendo DS etc. would be able to access the home network.  I arrive now (to the parents home) and can't seem to gain access to the network.  I was able to connect once and use the internet but the next day couldn't connect again.  We've confirmed many times the password is correct, reset the linkysys router and tried again but failed.  I would see the router and have full or high signal but upon entering I would get either an "Invalid password" or "Connection timedout" error response.  I also tried Network Diagnostics and Assistant walk throughs under the Assit Me... button but didn't work.  I've also tried choosing the network in Network Preferences under the drop down menu Network Name and entering the password there but to no avail. 
    Then recently got another wireless router (Airport Extreme, I figured I we could use another one for the home anyway) yesterday, and did the setup and other devices and the hardwired iMac all can connect and use the internet off of it.  I am currented hardwired to it via ethernet and all though I am right next to the new Apple router, and have full bars, I can't connect.  The most I have gotten was being connected with full bars for a few moments and then the exclamation point coming up in the Airport icon.  BTW, for the past 2 days I have been connecting to free wifi at another public place so I'm really not sure what is going on.  Both networks (the Linksys created one and now the Apple one) are protected via WPA2 Personal.  My notebook is only a year old show that should be fine too, no? 
    Any help would be greatly appreciated, I'm at a trouble shooting dead end from my mind's perspective.
    Thanks,
    Brian

    I have the same issue. Was working fine until Saturday when Rogers reset my modem because we lost our internet connection. Our modem is direct connected to our PC and we connec with the Macbook through wifi.
    When the modem rebooted we got an IP error and they had to do a renew and release. Since then - no wifi on macbook.
    every time we try to join our home network it gives a password wrong error. The password is not wrong. Airport is a solid yellow light. Ethernet is red.
    I am not great with macs and I have scoured the net and I cannot figure this out
