Connecting iOS 6 to wifi
Whenever I try to connect my iOS 6 iPhone 5 to the Internet using my netgear genie adapter on my windows xp,
I get the Windows is unable to connect to the selected network message. Any suggestions?
i have had this issue since first buying my ipad? i can connect on any other tablet from any other manufacturer immediately but i have to keep turning this ipad on and off, over and over and after about 15 mins of trying, sometimes i get lucky and it connects.
i am convinced apple has it set up this way now and it is exactly why this ipad is on kijiji and i am getting an android tablet. i require a tablet for work, i cannot keep risking not getting emails etc because of this HUGE issue.
if apple doesnt fix this, alot of people are gonna change, my employer already has me looking at android tablets to replace the 30 ipads we bought because he is fed up to. we do not control what phone we can use, blackberry bold 9900 is what our head office wants us using but we need reliabliity with our tablets and the ipad simply is not reliable.
if anyone has a solution, please let us know so we can avoid changing. we are very desperate but if apple doesnt fix this, as the buyer for my company, i will replace the ipad and go with the much more reliable android tablets.
so glad i never bought an iphone!

I'm trying to update my iOS to 6.0, using iTunes (with my 4s connected via USB and WiFi is on also).

There is not error message number just the text message. I've searched for an answer but have found nothing on "transfering items purchased to your iTunes library".

I have apple iPhone 4S upgraded to iOS 6.0.1 and everything was working fine suddenly my Wifi was not connecting and found the wifi on/off button is greyed out and to enable it I tried all resets but still my problem have not solved, still wifi is off
Same here.... No fix. Replacing is the option apparently and if you're out of warranty, you're SOL. That was as per the "Genius" at Apple.

TS1398 Since I upgraded to iOS 7.0.2 my phone will not auto-connect to the home WiFi network.
I upgraded my iPhone 4S to iOS 7.0.2 and now my phone will not auto-connect to the home wifi network. Each time I leave and return to within range of the network I have to remember to manually connect, otherwise it continues to use 4G for data. The credentials are saved (all I have to do is tap it to connect) but just won't happen automatically any more.
Is anyone else seeing this problem?Tried the reset multiple times. No go. Before the IOS 7.0,2 update my devices were connecting to home WIFI eventually.

I have a IPhone 5 and Iphone 5s, each phone is activited with a different service provider. Both are set up with the same account ID and running IOS 8.0.2. When the phones are connected to the same Wifi at home, both phones will ring when someone call in to one of the phone. Hence you do not know exactly which line the caller called. If you answered using the wrong phone, then anyone calling the other number will not get through. Anyway to solve this problem?
Hey David Koh TP,
Thanks for the question. It sounds like your devices are set up to use continuity together. Specifically, it sounds like you are signed into the same Apple ID in FaceTime, and have iPhone Cellular Calls enabled. To resolve your issue, simply disable this setting:
Connect your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch using Continuity
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT6337
Turn off iPhone cellular calls
To turn off iPhone Cellular Calls on a device, go to Settings > FaceTime and turn off iPhone Cellular Calls.
Thanks,

I have a 3rd generation iPod Touch and just did the update to IOS 5. Now I can't connect to my Netgear wifi router. My iPhone connects fine along with all of my other laptops etc. I have the router set with WPA-PSK [TKIP] security and an access list. I've confirmed the mac address is included on that list and that the password is correct. Under choses netwrok I select the network and it just goes into a spin. I have tried removing the password and the access list settings and it still will not complete the connection to the router thus no internet access. The routers firmware is also up to date. This thing worked fine before this update and I've already tried to restore from backup. Any ideas or is the wifi nic bad in this thing with the new apple firmware update? Any fix?
Thanks Bob, I don't know why but it all of a sudden worked a few days later. It's a mystery but at least problem solved.

My iPhone 4s will not connect with my home WiFi network. I have ios6 on my iPhone. The connection was working perfectly before I updated my IMac and my MacBook Pro to ios 10.8.2. I have had ios6 since I purchased the phone a couple of months ago. It searches for a network and finds them, but when it asks for my password, it will not accept the password. Have never had this happen before.

My ipod 4 touch will not connect to my home wifi network since I upgraded to iOS 6
When I go into Utilities/WiFi on I see name of my home network. When I tap on it it asks for password. After I type in password/join, I get message "Unable to join the Ntwork ".....". I've tried the fixes suggested through a Google search to no avail. Any Ideas?
Did you try?
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on the router.

After updating my iphone 4 with the ios 6 update. My iphone would no longer connect to my home wifi that is password protected. I know that I have the right password entered in. At work we have a free wifi connection that does not require a password and I can connect no problem to it. My ipod touch has no problem connecting to my home wifi. It is a 3rd gen ipod and does not have the ios 6 update on it. Please help!
I'm having the same issues. Started when I upgraded iphone 4S and ipad1 to 5.1.1. Wife's iphone 4g on 4.4.2 has been ok. I've forgot the network on both devices and restored the iphone, none of which changed the issue. I've upgraded to ios 6 on the iphone 4s, problem still persists.
One thing that will help for a time: go to your router and change the wireless control channel. When I first did this I got full connectivity for about 48 hours... and now the problem is back. I'm now changing the wireless control channel every 12 hours, which is a pain but at least keeps me connected. I've tried a few other solutions that are out there and that has been the best one so far.
to do this on a motorola router: type 192.168.0.1 in your address bar.
username: admin and password:motorola if you have not changed the factory defaults.
Click on the word "wireless" and look for the "control channel" field. This may be set to auto or to 1, try changing it to 6 or 11 (preferred) or any other channel.
The control channel can cause static in the wireless system IF there are several networks nearby that are on the default setup.
There is a fair bit of buzz about this issue out there, some other things I've seen:
This is a hardware issue. Go to the store and have your wifi antenna checked, some users reporting that they get free replacement devices.
Check against other wifi networks that require a password (this is next for me). Logon to those networks and surf until your wifi stops. If your wifi connects to the internet but stops responding, then this is a software (or hardware) issue and apple needs to step up. Some are claiming this to be the case.
IF you connect and stay connected/on the internet on another password protected wifi, then the issue is with your router. this is where things get cute.
Comcast may tell you to update your firmware. Motorola may tell you that your cable provider is the only one who can push through firmware updates. Comcast may tell you that you are not in an area that is being updated. It's unclear if they say that to all customers, or just those who have purchased cable modems and aren't renting them from comcast.
Good luck, more to come if I figure out anything else, and please post any solutions you may find. -
Ever since updating to IOS 6, my wifi has not been staying connected
This is applicable for my iPad and iPhone 4S. My iPhone doesn't connect to my home wifi at all and my iPad has issues staying connected. I never have these issues using my work place's free wifi for either device. At home I lose connection with my WiFi on my iPad on a regular basis while I'm using the device. I have to turn WiFi off and back on to reconnect and that usually works, but sometimes I simply can't connect to the internet at all even though my iPad shows it is connected to my WiFi. These issues were not happening prior to the update and not a single thing has changed with my wireless at home. No other devices (PCs and other smartphones) are having any issues with the internet at home, it is only my Apple devices.
Help! This is extremely annoying and inconvenient and I have tried different things with my internet (reserving IP addresses and devices) and it does not work.Try #5.
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

I was trying to update my iOS to 7.1 but I can't, I have internet connection but if requires WiFi? before I can update my OS just using my phone internet but now I can't. Does OS 7.1 really require WiFi? Thanks!
The iPhone requires wi-fi to update if you try to update over the air, since the phone needs to reboot, thus disconnecting itself. You can update via iTunes and the computer, but you would not be able to tether to the phone for the internet connection, since the phone would disconnect. So, you can either update via wi-fi and the phone, or you can update with a computer that has an internet connection other than the phone.

Why did I update my ios 6 through wifi only for it to ask me to connect to itunes and now its making me restore it? Will I lose everything?
It's in recovery mode. You don't have a choice. Anything that was on the phone is already gone. If you didn't back it up, there is no way to recover it.

HT5569 After ios 7.0.6 update iPad won't connect to my home wifi.
I have just updated my iPad (retina display, one before the air) to iOS 7.0.6 and now it won't connect to my home wifi. I have never had a problem before. I pressed forget network and tried reconnecting. It asks for password but will not connect. Any help would be great.
Alas, this has not resolved the issue for me.
Oddly, my iPad mini (1st gen) CAN connect to the WPA2-Enterprise network at work and it connects at Starbucks (open wifi).
It fails (asks for password then "cannot join network") on my wpa2-personal-secured home network and on McDonald's open wifi network (nearest other place I could test. Honest.).
I've done the network settings reset, the machine hard reboot, forget networks, reset my router and time capsule repeatedly (obviously, can't reset McDonald's), to no avail.
I love shoddy work: nice update, Apple! -
I am also a victim.
Happily using all three of my schools wifi points seamlessly, I am IT manager and trying to upgrade the school iPad 2 collection.
Staff iPads all upgraded (downgraded!) to iOS 6 since we are all now devoid of wifi, tried everything on all the sites with no success.
Single iPad 2 eventually deigned to upgrade after 3 days of trying (only thru MacBook Pro, which coincidentally cannot now connect via wired Ethernet since mountain lion downgrade, only through an airport express point!)
The one iPad 2 with iOS 6 can connect to a single wifi point despite them all having the same said and password.
Fit to scream, any ideas?
Perhaps a switch to Samsung or asus?
Anything Welcome as I am getting a LOT of grief.
Thanks all!I downgraded back to 5.1.1 due to maps fiasco, so can't look, but from memory: they have hidden it - you have to scroll down where the wifi/3G stuff is.
