Connection to (Home-) wi-fi not possible

I have got the whole bunch placed on my Ipod touch, but when trying to connecting to internet or email etc. it asks me for my network in the blue screen: input password for "Fritz!Box Fon WLAN 7170 Annex A" It answers "No connection possible with network "Fritz etc..."
Any idea what is wrong?

The good news is that you are using WPA. The following steps should get you started on a fix:
Tap Settings > WiFi and then tap the blue > next to your network name. Tap Other Networks and type in your network name (the name is case sensitive).
Tap on the security settings button and tell your touch you are using WPA. Enter your password - it is case sensitive as well.
An idea for you - shorten your network name. Fritz!Box seems long enough and you are less likely to mistype anything.
Let is know if you get connected.

IPhone 4S (iOS 6.1.3) connects to home Wifi, but not O2 or the_Cloud hotspots

Hello.
I have been having some issues connecting to hotspot wifi.
I can connect to my home and office wifi without a problem, but my phone will not automatically connect to wifi hotspots. When I try to connect manually, the phone hangs on the login screen before giving the message below. The phone is set up on O2 wifi and Sky wifi, but the issue is common to them both.
I have been told th eissue is due to the ports and Apple servers and there is currently no fix other than turning off wifi, then turning off cell data, then turning wifi back on - each time I want to connect to a wifi hotsport......
Has anyone with this version of iOS solved it and if so, can they post a link to the solution?
Thanks,
Stuart

By way of an update, I downloaded 6.1.3 via iTunes and then reinstalled my Apps and set-up mail using new settings. It was a bit of a pain, but at least it made me review the Apps I have. I re-sync'd with iTunes to put the music and podcasts back. I did not restore from a backup.
I tried connecting to The_Cloud and O2 WIFI hotspots and it works fine (without having to turn cellular data off)!
Thanks for your help.

Home sharing apps not possible. Why?

I cannot see my apps in the device list when connected to itunes. Also when I check my sharing preferences, apps are not listed, so therefore cannot be ticked. I want to home share some of my purchased apps. Please help.

If you are using the same Apple ID on all devices and all devices are connected to the same WiFi network - take a look at this.

Connected to home wireless but not loading from web

I've seen all the answers here, especially some excellent and thorough information from user "Linc" but nothing is working for me.
We have Comcast internet and the wireless network 'all of sudden' last week was very slow on my Mac mini. My wife has her Dell laptop which has experienced no difference in service over the same time. So for around 6 months, all has been well.
My Mac mini is about two years old and I'm on OSX 10.6.8. I've not made any system os changes in the last 6 months nor have I added any software besides Sophos for virus scanning. However, as I mentioned, all has been well up until last week.
Now, after restarting, google will come up and maybe 1 or two searches will work but then it just spins and spins. Nothing loads in either Safari, Firefox or Chrome. I tried using Firebug to see if I could get some message about the network but nope. Full strength on the signal and connecting to the actual network fine.
First step I took was to reset the router; no difference. I also tried unplugging the router but again no difference on my Mac. Laptop still connected via wireless as usual.
I then got rid of the /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration files restarted to generate new files; no difference.
My Asus Transformer tablet can connect to the same network just fine so it's definitely something on the Mac mini.
The last thing I tried was shutting down, unplugging the machine for 15 secs; pluggin it back in, waiting for 5 sec and turning back on. No change.
Besides any suggestions, I'd also like thoughts as to what could cause this from a process pov. No OS changes have been made like upgrads or system components upgraded which I could see could cause something weird but what else is actually 'in the works' that could cause such a problem? It doesn't feel like "the xx file has become corrupted".... because, well... how? How do "xx files" become corrupted absent of crashes, power-outs, viruses or system upgrades?
Thanks for insights!

I uderstand that the other equipment works but they will use different software to access DNS etc, appreciate it should not make a difference but, sometimes it does.
This is an article for flushing dns caches, it is useful to do if you have dns problems.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5343
I think I am correct that in SL the DNS resolver is different for web browsing or the terminal commands, one uses the newer mDNSresponder the other resolver. If I am wrong someone will put me right.
SL had a few problems with this system when first introduced, the main one seemed to the prefetch which was too high for some systems, that is why I suggested it as a possibility.
No other ideas for now, see if anything comes to mind tomorrow.

Access Connections "Override home page" does not work with Google Chrome

I have different homepages set up for home and work locations within Access Connections. These work fine with Windows Internet Explorer 9 and with Mozilla Firefox 16. However, with Google Chrome 23 (my preferred browser), Access Connections does not override the home page. Since that section in Access Connections is entitled "Customize Internet Explorer, Firefox Browser or Google Chrome", it ought to work...
I am using a T520 with Windows 7 Professional 64 bit.

If Chrome does't display your webpages, then contact Google about it.
And for solutions, why not click a link at the right.
This one seems to have the answer :

Attempted to connect to Acer 24" monitor not possible

I tried recently with the supplied adapter to connect to a Acer 24" monitor but I got "device not supported"
How do I fix this!?
Cheers
Paul

I have 'successfully' connected my MBA to a 22" Acer monitor. I'm using the VGA connection -- haven't tried the other type because I'm using a KVM switch which needs to be VGA. FWIW, it's an older monitor (purchased in 2006).
I have qualified 'successfully' because I came here looking for some ideas about a slight 'shimmer' (jiggle) I have at 1680x1050/60Hz, which is the highest offered resolution. I do not experience any jiggle when I'm switched to the Mini.
A couple of the lower resolutions listed didn't work at all. I'm looking for the suggested/supported VGA resolutions for the MBA. Is there a reference for this? ... or is the list that's offered by System Preferences/Monitors considered to be the authoritative list?

Problem - S10-2 WinXP Home - WLAN & 3G simultanous connection not possible?

Hello!
I have Lenovo Idea Pad S10-S model netbook with WINXP Home edition preloaded.
It also has 3g connection bulti in.
When I press Fn + F5 and try to enable 3G with WLAN already enabled - it automaticaly disables WLAN - and vice versa.
Is there some sort of setting to disable this behavieur?
I tryed almost anythnig to enable 3G AND WLAN connection simultaneously but it does not work.
Please help! I need this funcionality to use WLAN printer when connected to internet via 3G.
Thank you for your help and best regards,
David

I think that you can' do that before both devices shares a same anthena.
At least you can use an USB 3G adapter, which has built-in anthena.

I am unable to connect AE to Zeppelin(old style) to enable wireless streaming, hours spent on phone to Apple.Is it not possible?

I purchased an AE to connect to my Zeppelin(old type) to enable me to play my itunes library through it using Ipad/Iphone remote as i do with Apple TV/Mac etc but despite all efforts(spent 2 hours on phone with Apple support) still will not connect. I popped into Apple shop today in Liverpool and the guy there said what i want to do is not possible via the Zeppelin, having done some research i thought he was wrong.Any ideas?

There are various ways to add a laserjet to a network.
What brand and model is the wireless router?
What operating system does the computer use (preferably one that is on the same wireless network the printer is intended for)?
Does your network use a DHCP server (most home routers have this enabled by default)? If so, is there any reason you want to use a static IP address over DHCP for your network?

Not possible to connect with Mac OS X v10.6.2 via VPN to smb://nameserver

Hi al,
I have a MacBook Pro. At the company I can connect my MacBook Pro without problems via the LAN to the company servers by using smb://nameserver
At home I use a VPN connection to connect my MacBook Pro to the LAN at the company.
The VPN connection between home and company is working well, because I can “run” web-based applications, using htpp://xxxx.xx via Safari.
But the connection to the smb://nameserver is not working (in the past it worked well!) and I get the following message from Mac OS X : “Connection failed. The server “nameserver” may not exist or it is unavailable at this time. Check the server name or IP address, check your network connection, an then try again.”
If I run, at home, the program “Parallel Desktops” I can make a VPN connection via Windows Vista, and connect to the same servers without problem.
Is there anybody who can help me?

Hi
If you're trying to connect using the server's name you have to know which host server to use to resolve the name. If you don't know simply use its IP address:
eg: instead of: smb://servername
use: smb://IPaddress (this would be the private non-routable IP address)
This should work? Depending which VPN Method you're using to Tunnel to the host network and how the host network is configed it may not do name resolution that well.
If it used to work in the past it may have been because a static entry for the host network's DNS Server was placed in your Network Preferences Pane? Or if your connection was via PPTP or L2TP appropriate LAN settings were assigned once the connection was made to the host site? In other words a set of IP addresses matching the host site's LAN IP topology.
Perhaps the current method you're using now of building the VPN Tunnel is via IPSec IKE/ISKAMP? In which case you may have to 'tell' your remote network which DNS Server to use at the host site for name resolution.
A possible reason why it 'works' for the Windows side is because name resolution - most of the time - gets by without using fully qualifiable domain names. For example pinging an IP address in DOS to find a name works (most of the time) if you simply supply just the server name. This is not necessarily the case on the mac.

Is it possible to connect my home computer to files stored on my running osx server mac via VPN

Is it possible to connect my home computer to files stored on my running osx server mac via VPN. I have VPN set up and can access the Calendar and Contacts via a web browser, however I want to be able to access data files store on the hard drive and shared external drives connected to it. The MacPro runs OSX Server Lion. Any Ideas if this is even possible or how to do it!

Yeah, that's what I kinda figured. Maybe there is another solution - here is my situation:
I have internet and cable service through Telus. Telus' system consists of a modem/set-top-box that provides internet (ethernet and wifi) and TV signal (corded) for one TV and another set top box that provides internet (ethernet only) and TV signal (corded) for my other TV in the basement.
I have an Airport Extreme connected to the modem upstairs which I am using as my home network wifi. I also have an external hard drive (USB) connected to it on which my iTunes library is shared with all Apple machines in my home network.
My upstairs ATV, connected to my APE, works fine and streams internet (Netflix), iTunes Store and my shared iTunes drive just fine - the APE is 3 feet away with a great signal.
My downstairs ATV, also connected to my APE via wifi, does not stream so well, particularly the media from the shared drive. I suspect that this is the case because of signal degredation.
Any suggestions on how to reconstruct my home network to enable my downstairs ATV to work properly?

IPhone WiFi will not connect to home network.

iPhone will not connect to home network. WiFi is on and correct password is entered. iPhone error msg says incorrect password. Reloaded network software and did not activate password but iPhone still shows network as locked.

Some people who experience issues connecting to or even seeing there Wireless network should follow these steps.
These steps are just a guideline and its not 100% that it will fix your issue.
Mainly, if the issue persists, its possible there is an issue with your iOS settings or a hardware failure within your iPhone or iPad, specifically the Wifi adapter.
You would want to follow these articles to do a reset & restore prior to saying it is a hardware issue.
#1: Reset: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430
#2: Restore: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
You will need to access your Admin control panel for your router.
If you have an Airport Extreme BaseStation, you just need to open the Airport Admin Utility found in Applications > Utilities Folder.
Enter your credentials and you will have access to the settings from there.
For a PC: Do NOT use the CD that came with your router. That is used for people who do not know how to setup a router properly and these settings will not be available for you in most cases.
If you are using anything other than an Airport BaseStation:
Open a web browser:
In the address bar, type:
192.168.1.1 (Mainly used for Asus, Linksys, etc) or 192.168.0.1 (D-link,Belkin)
How to figure out what the IP address is to type in?
Windows:
Hold down the windows key, then press R. This brings up the run box. In that box type "cmd" (without the quotes) and press enter. In the black box that pops up, type "ipconfig" (without quotes) then hit enter. Your default gateway is the IP address for your router. It will start with 192.168.....
Take that number and put it into the address bar in your browser and hit enter. It will then ask you for a user name and password. For linksys, it's admin for both. If you have another brand, just google "default password for ******" replacing the asterisks with the brand name of the router. Once you have entered the correct user name and password, you're there.
Mac:
1.From the Apple menu, select System Preferences.
2.In System Preferences, from the View menu, select Network.
3.Select the appropriate port. For example, choose Ethernet for broadbandconnections, AirPort for wireless, or Internal Modem for dial-up.
4.Click Advanced... , and in the sheet that opens, click the TCP/IP tab.
The number next to "Router:" is your default gateway.
Once you get into your admin panel do these setting changes.
1.On the router change the channel for the 2.4mhz band to channel 1, 6, or 11 (recommended), rather than auto.
2.Also set that channel width to 20hz only, rather than 20hz or 40hz (Auto)
3.Make sure Security is set to WPA/WPA2-Personal. Anything else will cause issues. (of course, make sure you know your password for security)
4.Make sure to Apply/Save these settings. Sometimes the wireless connectivity will go out during this change and will come back on within 15-30 seconds.
5.On the iPhone/iPad go to Settings > Wi fi > click the blue arrow beside the network > Select Forget network
6.Go to Settings > general > reset > reset network settings
7.Power the phone off and on. Connect again

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?

When I connect my Mac Mini 2011 with Lion to a TV via HDMI and an earphone cable is plugged in, it´s not possible to choose sound out via hdmi, as opposed to connection via minidisplay port. Anybody knows how to fix this?

Was just on the phone with Apple about this.
The solution was as follows for me anyway...
Go to your Finder
Choose the Go Menu
Choose Computer
Choose your Macintosh Hard Drive
Choose your "Library" Folder
Choose the "Preferences" Folder
There should be a folder called "Audio"
Move that whole folder to the trash
Empty the Trash
Restart from the Apple Menu
When you are back up and running;
     Choose System Preferences from the Apple Menu
     Choose Sound
      In the output tab you should now be able to make the HDMI "Sticky"
      Enjoy your sound over HDMI and no more dirty knees or broken backs unplugging the desktop speakers!

Reinstall iTunes. Make sure you follow the instructions in this support document to the letter. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923.
You may have some problems because Apple has not certified that everything works with Windows 8 yet.
