Cannot find wifi connection anymore

I purchased my iphone this past March and everything has been working fine until now. Last Thursday I was on wifi downloading an app that was about 12MB. After making the purchase, I was disconnected from wifi and could not proceed with the download.
I continually tried connecting, but could not find the network. It is now Monday and after resetting the network settings, trying the airplane mode trick, updating to the latest version, and restoring I still cannot find the network. I've tried on multiple networks too and still no luck. I tried phoning Tech Support but they said I'd have to pay for phone support. Any suggestions? hardware problem? Have no idea who to send it to if needing replacement. No Apple store near by either.

So I have two iphones (3G and 3GS) in the family, an ipod touch (1st gen), an IMAC, AppleTV, MAC Book and a MAC Book Pro. An new dual band Apple Airport Extreme and dual Apple Airport Extreme.
The computers & Apple TV connect just find to my network (security is WPA/WPA Personal). The iphones and ipod touch cannot connect worth a hoot. My neighbor has a Belkin network (no security) and both phones and touch connect just fine. I am totally flummoxed. I have tried resetting the network settings on the iphones but to no avail. The only time the devices connect is when the phone or touch is literally within a foot of the base station.
any suggestions?

HP Touch Pad cannot find Wifi connections

Just bought my touchpad yesterday and while trying to do the initial set up, it ask to connect to a wifi. It searches for a really long time and nothing comes up. My desktop is connected to the router by ethernet, but my ipad, laptop and droid phones all connect wirelessly with no problems. Has anyone had these problems? I've searched some threads on this forum but have come up empty. Ive also talked to CS and they rebooted my touch pad .
Thanks in advance.

Hey, i was able to use the wifi at my parents house, but it is still doing the same thing at my place. Ive checked my router settings and none of them have the Captive Portal, Proxy or MAC Filtering....any other suggestions.
Try unplugging your router, and wait for 30 seconds. Plug it back in, then try again.
What encryption settings are you using on your router?

How did you install Windows? Did you use Bootcamp Assistant or did you use a virtual machine like Parallels, Fusion, or VirtualBox.
If you used Bootcamp Assistant, did you download and install the Windows Support software (drivers) in accordance with the Bootcamp instructions?

Error message, Cannot find iTunes Connect user

I cant access my I tunes from my Iphone, I get the following. Authentication Error. Cannot find iTunes connect user (2002)(2002)

Hello wallydt,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
For more information on this, take a look at:
Resolve specific iTunes update and restore errors
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3694
Check USB connections
If there’s an issue with the USB port, cable, dock, or hub, or if the device becomes disconnected during restore, try troubleshooting the USB connection, then troubleshooting your security software.
Common errors: 13, 14, 1600-1629, 1643-1650, 2000-2009, 4000, 4005, 4013, 4014, 4016, “invalid response”, and being prompted to restore again after a restore completes.
To narrow down the issue, you can also change up your hardware:
Use another USB cable.
Plug your cable into a different USB port on your computer.
Try a different dock connector (or no dock).
Add (or remove) a USB hub between your device and computer.
Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, with no routers, hubs, or switches.
If you see your error after changing your USB connections, continue to the next section to troubleshoot your hardware.
Best of luck,

Hello jacbar,
Thank you for providing all the information about what is going with the Wi-Fi issue you are experiencing on your MacBook Pro. I found an article with some steps you can try to help with this issue.
I recommend reviewing the solution under the section titled "Symptom: My Mac does not connect to the Internet" in the following article (the title doesn't say OS X Mountain Lion, but the article also applies to 10.8):

Playbook cannot find WIFI networks

Hi, I have a new Playbook 16gb wifi and the wifi isn't working. Essentially what happened was after I completed the initial setup it prompted me to install an OS update after which the WIFI stopped working. I cannot connect to any network no matter the type a/b/g/n, the frequency, the channel or the mode. I have tried on two Netgear routers, 1 DLink and 1 iPhone (used as a hot spot). I have tried PBS using the actual button and the PIN but neither works. It just cannot find any networks.
I tried resetting to factory defaults but that has made the situation worse because I am now stuck at the setup screen with no networks to complete setup. I can't connect to the desktop software either because the installation hasn't completed.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers
David

Hello
Were you able to fix the wifi issue ?
I have successfully reloaded QNX OS on the Playbook using Desktop manager.
Version 1.0.7.2942 was loaded.
I still have the same problem, it is impossible to connect to the wifi network.
I have tried wpa2, wpa and wep , nothing works. I have tried at over 10 different routers. I tried with routers where other playbook wifi works well, but this one playbook won't connect, I always get the same error while trying to pair to the network, it doesn't event get to the acquiring IP address phase.
Thanks

HT1695 cannot find "wifi" on my ipad

I have an Ipad mini. My router is a linksys. Itunes says to sync my ipad with itunes but i cannot find the wifi tab on my ipad mini

Click on the Settings icon.
Some things to try first:
1. 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.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. 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
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Cannot Find WiFi router

Just moved into new flat & though my Ipod touch can see the flat's wifi & connect, my Ibook running 10.4.11 cannot though it can see all my neighbours. Is there anything I can try. I have searched for the network name with the WEP passcode but it can still not find it. Any help would be much appreciated.

I just had this type of problem with my Linksys router. I pressed the reset button on the router and it erased my set up info (bad move). I contacted Linkys support chat and learned that I had to run through the online set-up procedure again. Now my iBook sees the router.
I don't want to send you on a wild goose chase but maybe all you need to do is set up your connection again.

Suddenly I cannot find wifi on iphone 4s

I have an iPhone 4s with iOS 8.1.2.
I find myself abroad for a month. I have been using my iPhone normally for three weeks without any trouble. Suddenly yesterday, after having worked with it for several hours, it cannot find anymore the wifi of the place in which I am staying, even if all other people can still use it.
I already tried to disable the location setting and also to reset the original settings. None of these have produced any results. Can you help me?

Hi ff/medic,
To browse your music by playlist, look at the bottom of the screen in the Music app, you should see a Playlists button to click. If not, select the More… button.
You can find this and much more information in the iPhone’s User Guide -

Can't find WiFi connections on my iPhone

Hi guys,
Apologies if this has been covered in another topic, but my problem is not alone, connecting to WiFi, my iPhone doesn't even find any WiFi connections any longer all of a sudden, unless I'm sitting right beside the router at my computer so I'm guessing there might be a problem with the antenna possibly, or possibly not?? I tried resetting settings, restoring the iphone to factory settings (and losing all the apps I've purchased over the last 12 months in the process, doh) taking the sim card out and putting back in but still no joy. Anyone else experience anything simular and can offer advice, any info would be much appreciated.
Best regards,
Chris

As with all other iTunes content that is available on your iPhone, all 3rd party apps installed on your iPhone should be in your iTunes library and would be with Sync Apps selected under the Apps tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes. This should be selected for a number of reasons with this being one of them. With Sync Apps selected, after downloading/installing an app with your iPhone, the app will be copied to your iTunes library automatically the first time you sync your iPhone with iTunes after doing so. This also allows for downloading an app with iTunes on your computer and installing the app on your iPhone via the iTunes sync process. To remove an app without deleting the app, deselect the app under the apps tab followed by a sync. To reinstall the app again later, reselect the app under the Apps tab followed by a sync. When restoring your iPhone with iTunes if wanted or needed, all apps will or can be re-installed on your iPhone when syncing since all apps are in your iTunes library where they should be.
If no change after resetting network settings on your iPhone and/or after restoring your iPhone with iTunes with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from your iPhone's backup, your iPhone has a hardware problem with the wireless card or with something else.

Cannot find Internet Connect Icon

I am using Leopard 10.5.4.
I want to setup a VPN connection and found an article which describes how to go about setting the VPN connection. But it uses Internet Connect icon and according to the article it is found in the 'Applications' folder. I cannot find the 'Internet Connect' icon in Applications.
Please can someone help ?
Zapp

Internet Connect has (thankfully) been removed from Leopard. You can now set up a VPN with the Network Preferences. Click on the + icon below the list of network services to get a window with popup menu that has VPN as one of the interface choices.
