Weak signal, interference, network congestion? Ask the hotel when you experience this problem. I travel a lot on business and some hotels have better quality wifi than others.

Can't connect to wifi in hotels in Ireland with iPhone 5

Can't connect to wifi in hotels in Ireland with my iPhone 5. My iPad 3 works fine. When I enter the wifi password for the network I always get the error message "Incorrect password for XYZ". No problem with iPad 3.

Returned home only to find the same situation with my home network. Much time on chat support with Apple. Short story long: Must have been corrupted software. Had to restore original original software then add back apps and music. Couldn't back up before doing the restore so I lost a bunch of pics, but at least the phone is working once again.

Have you tried clearing Safari? Clear Safari, close Safari completely and reboot your iPad. Try again.
Go to Settings>Safari>Cookies and Data.
If you are running iOS 5 or iOS 6 you close apps like this. Tap the home button once. Then tap the home button twice and the recents tray will appear at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button twice.
If you are running iOS 7, you close apps this way. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

3rd Gen not connecting to WiFi

I cannot connect to wifi in hotel even though the ipod itself recognizes the WiFi connection. get error message that Wifi not connected, why?

Have you then tried going to Safari and look for a page that you have to acknowledge the terms and conditions to use the connection?
Next talk to the hotel staff. Some free networks use Flash or Java and can't be used by iDevices.

Unable to connect to wifi in some hotels (self-assigned IP address)

I normally have no problem connecting to wifi, but in some hotels I am unable to connect and get a self-assigned IP address 169...
Having looked around the forums, in my current hotel I have tried several fixes without success (many of these probably apply to a permanent rather than intermittant problem):
- I renewed the DHCP lease
- I tried a manual IP address
- I created a new network location
- I deleted com.apple.airport.preferences
- I turned off the firewall
- I repaired disk permissions
Has anyone else found a fix to problems with some hotel wifi systems?
I can connect with my iPhone, but not my MacBook, so I am now in an internet cafe (and I don't think that you can "tether" an iPhone connected by wifi to a MacBook?).

I have finally found a solution!
I copied the IP address that the hotel had assigned to my iPhone (in the 192.168.0.xx series) into the TCP settings for the hotel network on my Mac, and then managed to get a connection (but only by using "DHCP with manual address", rather than "Manually").
But this seems to have killed the wifi connection on my iPhone: whatever I do I now get a self-assigned IP address 169... on the iPhone (there is no "DHCP with manual address" setting), so as I am in Paris I hope the Mac connection continues to work!
The general solution seems to be to use a static IP address, but in the "DHCP with manual address", which I had not tried before.

HT5439 Connection wifi at hotel

When connecting to wifi at a hotel, one must access the Internet to access the terms and conditions. How do I access the Internet using Apple TV?

You cannot as ATV does not have a browser. Speak to the hotel and ask if they have a wifi or wire that does not need internet style verification to join it. If you intend to airplay the device must be on the same network too whick may be a problem if the let you wire.

How to connect to wifi prompt with Apple TV?

To connect to wifi in public locations (e.g., Starbucks, hotels), you often have to click an "I agree" button after selecting the network. For business presentations in hotels and other venues, I carry an Apple TV with me. I connect the Apple TV to a big screen TV at the venue, then use my iPad to present content on the TV. You will know that the Apple TV and the iPad have to be on the same wifi network in order for this to work. But in locations that require an "I agree" in order to connect to the local wifi network, I do not know how to connect the Apple TV to the wifi network. Is there a way to see/accept the "I agree" button when connecting the Apple TV to the network?

AirPlay Mirroring requires a second-generation Apple TV or later, OS X 10.8 or better and is supported on the following Mac models: iMac (Mid 2011 or newer), Mac mini (Mid 2011 or newer), MacBook Air (Mid 2011 or newer), and MacBook Pro (Early 2011 or newer). You can see which Mac you have and which operating system you are using by selecting 'About this Mac' from the Apple menu in the top left corner of your Mac and selecting the 'More Info' button.

Open wifi in hotels

Hi
I have 2 playbooks that we're trying to use in a hotel.
the problem we seem to have is this - the wifi is open and gives you access when you enter the code on the first web page you see - which is pushed at you byt the hotel servers.
Problem is that the playbook hangs on obtaining IP address
I have a friend who is there now with that problem - what she has done is to link her iphone then tether the playbook to the iphone
A bit odd...

I discovered that if I was having difficulty getting the hot spot login page, I had to disable Bluetooth on the the Playbook. I think it knew it was having problems connecting via WiFi, so it tried to run out the Bridge connection.

How do connect to wifi so I can use my MacBook Pro out of office

How do I connect to wifi so to use my MacBook Pro out of the office

Depends on the WiFi source. Download Firefox from http://www.mozilla.com as some WiFi routers only let you login via Firefox.
Have an cat-5 or cat-6 ethernet cable handy, as some hotels provide WiFi between rooms in a hotel, but do not broadcast on a frequency that you can pickup
with your Mac, but rather give you a direct connection to their router in the room.
Some places require you download Boingo and subscribe to Boingo to get on their service.
For the rest, you should be able to get the protocol, network name, username, and password for connecting your Mac from the provider. Ones with no password will automatically appear in the Airport menu which looks like *. The ones with a password may show up there, or only work if you Connect to Other... from that menu. That menu may be gray or it may be black. If there is a lock next to the network name, you'll need a password and protocol to connect.
Macs support WPA2, WEP, TKIP connections via WiFi.
WEP aren't very secure. WPA2 are much more secure.

Difficulty connection to WiFi

Any suggestions as to why I seem to be having difficulty connecting to WiFi hotspots in certain areas? I have had no problems before until recently. Should I try shutting down my iPad Air and restarting?
When I go to the Apple Store or even using a hotel's WiFi I am connected immediately. TWCWiFi, AT&T, Starbucks, Safeway and the shopping malls WiFi take an eternity or null (no connection at all). Others seem to have no problem connecting so it is not that the WiFi is crowded.

If you are really interested,here is a basic article with links to a number of more detailed ones. These form the basis for troubleshooting and understanding wi-fi issues.

Connected to wifi but safari won't load anything

I can connect to wifi and it connects successfully but when I start safari it stays at the blank white page and the blue bar stays where it is at. I am running max osx version 10.7.2 and I have a macbook pro I just bought. I am getting very frusterated.

I had the exact same issue - new mbp, safari, wifi connected, but page would not load. Happened at two different hotels, one airplane, and two different airports. Luckily, I had a PC running IE with me and it worked. I called Apple Support twice - no help. I was able to favorably resolve the issue by shutting down the computer and then downloading a different browser (e.g. Firefox). Hope this helps!

When connecting to wifi on ios6 it doesnt let me enter password

I have an ipod touch 4g that I just updated to ios6.
When I was at the little "intro" screen, with the wifi, I tapped my wifi and the "browser" type thing that usually comes up when you connect to a mcdonalds wifi or hotel's wifi, that is a screen where you have to agree to stuff, comes up.It just goes to an apple.com page that basically says this page doesn't exist. It wont let me connect to my wifi. My router is a airport extreme. I have no idea what to do.

Just to note:
I have tried the homebutton/power button reset
I tried forget network, which let me type my password in but then just took me to the apple.com page
I reset network settings (settings>general>reset>reset network settings)
I am currently restoring from backup
If restoring from backup doesnt work ill restore without backup

My iphone 4s and ipad 2 both with 7.0.4 update will no longer connect to wifi but non-mac lap top has no issues

my iphone 4s and ipad2 both with 7.0.4 update will no longer connect to wifi.
About three days ago the ability to connect came and went and the connection never lasted more than 10-15 minutes; it has not been able to connect since last night. I do not think it's my wifi router as non-mac lap top has no issues. I have seem many similar questions posted.

Reboot your router by removing all power from it for about 15 seconds. Also, if your router still has its default SSID (such as LINKSYS, DLINK, NETGEAR, etc) change the SSID to something unique. Note that all other devices on your network will have to be reconnected if you change the name, but if the name is still the default that is most likely your problem.
If the SSID is not the default then the reboot should fix it.

IPod Touch 4th Gen No Longer Connects to WiFi

Tonight I've been watching videos via the new Youtube app (from the appstore, since the one that comes with iPod is no longer available). I was watching a Youtube video when the battery on my iPod touch ran out. I connected the charger, the iPod turned on, and it suddenly won't connect to my WiFi anymore. I have other devices that connect to the WiFi with no issues. What happens is I go to my WiFi settings, and select my router as the access point, and a rotating loading icon appears next to my access point's name, 'belkin54g'. But the loading icon never goes away, and as a result doesn't connect to WiFi. I recently upgraded to iOS 6 if that helps. This WiFi connection has always worked fine on this iPod touch, so I have no idea as to why it decided to crap out on me.

Does the iOS device connect to other networks?
Does the iOS device see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iOS device connect before?
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: 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 your router
.- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.
