Daughter visiting with iPhone 5. Unable to connect to my wifi because of not being able to put 26 digit encryption in phone. Help!
How do you connect iPhone 5 to wifi with a 26 digit encryption on router?
Well, the simple fact is that the use of WEP is not recommended for compatibility, reliability, performance, and security reasons; WEP is insecure and functionally obsolete. Why are you using WEP in the first place? Fact is, you might as well not be running any security at all.

Need help with Itunes problem not being able to put custom made ringtone on iphone 4s.
My iphone 4s is running iOS7. My windows laptop is running the latest version of itunes, i follow instructions everywhere to get the ringtone i made onto my cellphone and i get stuck where it says to go to the apps tab and then scroll down till you see the apps you have and choose the app that you made the ringtone with. Well when i select apps it just goes to the app store, it doesn't do anything else. How in the world do i get that to come up so i can move the ringtone from the app to my phone??? please help!
Although WAV files have the same audio coding as an audio CD, a disc full of WAV files does not act like an audio CD; it lacks the indexing and ToC needed in order for a "regular" CD player to play it. As Diane notes, put your WAV files in an iTunes playlist and burn it as an *audio CD.*

hi, I managed to update both Itunes and my ios to the latest versions (10.5 and 5 respectively). I'm unable to see the "Sync over wifi" option in itunes. Can anyone help?
Maybe that's why I got lucky? I have 10.7.2. I have to tell you howeer that I did not check any check box in settings on the Notebook to enable Wifi sync, or in iTunes on the notebook. I did have options when setting up the iPad and I selected sync with computer rather than back up to cloud. Maybe that is another difference? I feel feel fortunate that as I type this my iPad is syncing over wifi and you're all having trouble.
Just to confirm I have iTunes 10.5 MacOSX 10.7.2 and iOS5 installed on the iPad. I'm going to dive in and do the phone now too. I will report any troubles, or pay more careful attention when the iCloud settings and set up come on the screen. Maybe I did something else I don't remember. -
I want to use numbers on my iPad mini for a team I coach. I have a spreadsheet on my mac I want to import onto the iPad mini for players to enter in wellness ratings. On this spreadsheet (on the mac) I have a conditioning formatting rule that when a player enters in their numbers the cells fill with black so others can't see their entries (to maintain privacy). Will this function import across onto iPad numbers? From the discussion I saw on this site it only partly answers my question stating "it cannot be edited" does this mean the conditional formatting rule cannot be changed and therefore will still work or the whole spreadsheet can't be edited and you can only view the spreadsheet and make no new entries to it?
Yes, I have posted this thread to different forums after I realized that Lenovo "customer care" is not likely to help me out and even wirelessforums.org members couldn't come up with any ideas for days, that's why. I have already written that helper applications like SMAC (or etherchange or macshift) don't work, because they do the same thing in the system as I change it in the driver panel, so they use the same method which simply does not work.
Locked? Definitely not. If yes, why can I change the MAC of my adapter under Ubuntu Linux using b43 open-source driver if it's really locked? Or you mean it's locked from software, because Lenovo or Broadcom didn't want their users to change their MACs or they just forgot to release a fully-functional driver? Well, then I would like to have a driver in which it's not locked, because this is a basic feature of my adapter of which the hardware is capable.
I have already contacted Broadcom, see their (automatically-generated) answer in my initial post, but I will try to do that again with more foresight. -
My screen chooses to zoom out, out of the blue to the point that I can't access anything. It also does not respond to trying to shrink the screen with my hand motion.
Double tap the screen with three fingers to turn off zoom. If that doesn't work try a reset. Press and hold both the home and power buttons 10-15 seconds till the Apple logo appears. Release both buttons. Wait 15-20 seconds till your iPad starts on it's own. Then go to settings> general> accessibility> zoom> off.

HT1349 iphone 4S - my wifi keeps dropping or it comes up with a message "unable to connect"
iphone 4S - my wifi keeps dropping or it comes up with a message "unable to connect"
1. Did this just start randomly, or have you ever been able to connect to this network?
2. Does this phone connect to other wifi networks?
3. What is the strenght of the wifi connection when you are close to the router (1-3 bars)?
Try to isolate and see if this is just an issue with just this network. If so, and you have access to the settings on the router, I would test out with no security or a different chanel. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4199 gives all of the recomended settings for wifi networks so that the phone should work optimally with that network
If you are having this same issue with all wifi networks and have gone through a full restore of the phone to new, then you likely have a hardware issue with your phone and may need to look at repair/replacement to resolve this. -
IPhone 5 unable to connect to WiFi
iPhone 5 unable to connect to WiFi - signal good, iPad connects fine but iPhone comes up with error message "Unable to join the network". I've tried reboot. Any ideas?
ThanksI called Apple and explained the problem. After I explained the wifi connection problems, they said it was a hardware issue and sent me to my local Apple store and exchanged mine for a new iPhone. I backed it up prior to getting the new phone and it was easily restored.

Iphone 5 unable to connect wifi
I bought unlocked iphone 5 last Nov.. WIFI connection works well, and updated to ios 6.02. after two month, iphone 5 can't connect password-protected wifi, starbucks and macdonald's wifi. Sometime show wifi connected, but internet doesn't work. I tried reset iphone5, but useless
Meanwhile, iphone 4, blackberry and android connect wifi very well under same wifi environment.I had the same issue and usually a reset of all the network settings on iphone did the trick.
this method did not work with my iphone 5 . i did something in router settings that seemed to change things a lot, for the better.
the wifi channel usually the routers use is channel 11, so i changed mine to channel 1. this solved my issues and the iphone connected just fine to the network, without restarting the iphone or resetting any settings or switching off and back on the wifi.
i am on 6.1.3 iOS -
IPhone 5 Unable to connect to Internet after upgrade
I recently upgraded to 8.0.2 and now my iPhone 5 will not connect to the internet. I can't even restore the IOS because I can't connect to the internet to disable "Find My Phone".
HELP
BobAdd me to the list. Just done the iOS 7 to 7.0.4 update and now am unable to join my WiFi network (TimeCapsule).
In addition to the above I also did a complete restore of the phone, not to a backup, essentially creating a new empty phone, and it still can't connect to the WiFi network.
Note there's also an exceedingly dumb piece of programming been added to the Restore that may cause you an issue. If you have find my iPhone switch on in iCloud, you can not restore. You are told you have to go the the phone and switch off find my iPhone. Now, if the reason you are trying to Restore your iPhone is because you can't connect to the internet, well, that's not too helpful is it. That's that's the dumb-*** kind of UX I switch from Windows to avoid.
