Device won't connect to pc! HELP ME!

Ok, so I think I'm running out of options here. I've installed and reinstalled the software 3-4 times now, tried connecting through all different USB on my laptop, disabled firewall, turned off anti-virus, and still.....NOTHING. i keep getting the pop up "device not detected" wtf. someone help me

try to re-connect then right-click on my computer then properties>hardware>device manager and see if you have any yellow exclamation marks under "universal serial bus controller" (toward bottom of list). that will tell you if its a pc issue. Have you tried any other devices on those usb ports(like portable hdd or webcam)? just so we know the ports are active.What operating system are you using? You might also try to leave connected then restart laptop and see if it will detect.

Devices won't connect to password protected WiFi

As MANY others apple devices won't connect to my WiFi, but only when it is locked by a password.....
I have tried everything I've seen on here & I am beyond fed-up.
I have a 5c, but when others have visited with their iphone or ipad it also does not work.
Before the update it said 'unable to connect to network,' now it says 'incorrect password.'
This all began months ago when I replaced my router with COX. My laptop works completely fine...
My iphone will connect, but only when the network is NOT password protected. I live in a condo, so
it isn't an option for me to leave it unlocked.
Please help I will try anything! Also I am not a 'techy' so if you ask me something complicated
I may need some guidance.
Thanks

"another device is using the same ip address.." - iOS devices won't connect to AEBS wifi.

I've got a Motorola modem/gateway - 3360 from WalMart. I have the AEBS working in bridge mode connecting my iMac & Printer fine, but my iOS devices won't connect.
While troubleshooting & trying all types of settings, I was able to get EITHER the iMac or the iOS devices connected to internet, but not both at same time.
Then I noticed I am getting "another device is using the same ip address.." message.
I have changed the AEBS ip address & had been able to get either the iMac or iOS devices working depending on which ip address I use.
BUT now, all my iOS devices dont connect to the internet regardless of the ip address of the AEBS.
All my iOS devices see the network, and accept the network password, but they do not connect to internet, circle just keeps spinning...
Any assistance is GREATLY appreciated.
Thanks for any assistance,
Dave

It looks like may have to go back to square one and delete my network & set it up from scratch if I don't figure it out.
If you do go this route, I would like to make a suggestion for your consideration, and that is to assign static IP addresses to devices that are "permanent" on your network or ones you want to make sure can be reachable at all times. These (again) would be servers, routers, wireless access points, network printers/scanners, NAS devices, etc.
I would recommend the following IP addressing scheme as a baseline and you are certainly free to deviate in any way you see fit to meet your networking requirements:
Reduce the number of IP handed out by DHCP. By default, most routers will provide 100-200 private IP addresses within their DHCP leasing scope. The AirPort, by default, assigns 10.0.1.2 thru 10.0.1.200 via DHCP. Your Motorola may assign 192.168.0.2 thru 192.168.0.150. Either way, I would reduce this to no more than fifty (50) total which should provide you with plenty of addresses even if you are hosting gaming convention at your home.
I use the following IP address scheme for the "permanent" network clients:
Network Printers: 10.0.1.200 - 209
NAS Devices: 10.0.1.210 - 219
Wireless Access Points or routers reconfigured as bridges: 10.0.1.220 - 229
Servers: 10.0.1.230 - 239
With the "permanent" devices pre-assigned with static Private IP address that are outside of the DHCP range, you shouldn't ever get an IP address conflict again.

Some devices won't connect to wifi network after resetting network settings to default

Hi all,
I had to restore to the default settings on my 4th generation Time Capsule today and now half of our devices will not connect to the wifi network. The macbook pro (mid 2010 OS 10.9.4) that I used to reset the time capsule with and my iPhone 6 (8.0.2) both can connect just fine. However, our household's two iPad Airs (8.0.2), an iPhone 4s (iOS 7) and a Macbook (late 2009 OS 10.6.8) all can't connect to the internet. The macbook connects to the network, but an exclamation point appears over the wifi symbol. The two iPads and the 4s won't even connect to the network. I initially named the network the same as before with the same password, but then changed it thinking that might be the issue, to no avail. I've restarted the Time Capsule and all the devices that can't connect. I've also made them forget the network and try to rejoin. The router is connecting with DHCP, it is in bridge mode while connected to a cable modem, and the wireless security is set to WPA/WPA2 Personal.
I'm at my wit's end. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If your cable modem is a pure modem the TC must be in router mode.. ie DHCP and NAT.
It is easy to find out.. check the IP you get on the WAN of the TC in airport utility.
Your limit is because only one or two public IP are available.
If that is the not the problem please give more info.
What modem do you have??
And give some screenshots of the setup .. summary page from the TC and network and Internet tabs.

Won't connect to internet, help please

I am back in my apartment at school and they replaced the cable with just another one, almost the same thing, but the problem is that when i connect the cable straight to my CPU it works fine, but when i plug the cable into my airport express it just blinks amber and it shows the connection and even says i am connected but it won't connect to the internet, please help me. my brother will be here tomorrow and i need to get this wireless setup. thanks so much for the help.

Connect the modem to your Airport Express. Then pull power to both for at least five minutes. Then plug power into the modem and wait a minute. Then plug power into the Airport Express and wait a minute. Then try internet access again.

I can't get my iPod Classic (3rd gen) to reset. Device won't connect to iPod server.

I have an iPod 3rd gen classic with the 160 GB HDD. All attempts at resetting the device elicit a dialog that states that iTunes can't read the contents of the iPod and that I should go to the summary tab in iPod preferences to click restore to factory settings. When I hit OK the iPod appears in the devices list in iTunes and the title box appears identifying the iPod by serial number, but notes the capacity of the device as 0 KB. My only option is to press the restore iPod button. As soon as the button is pressed I get a dialog which states that iTunes cannot access the iPod software server because I am not connected to the internet. This behavior has been consistent in 2 versions of iTunes (I just got 11.1.5.5) and 2 versions of iPod software (now 2.0.4 up from 2.0.2).
I got into the iPod diagnostics (center + previous, FYI) and tested the drive which appears to be fine. I'm going fairly nuts with this 'cause I gots to have my tunes and have been diligent about troubleshooting only to hit this wall. Any suggestions?
Thanks
Dave

Hi Dave,
Have you checked to verify your iPod is a Classic 3rd gen? Apple's website is kind of confusing when classifying the different generations of the Classic iPods. My thoughts on the differing classifications of iPod Classics are as such: http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_iPod_models (scroll down to models) I have just finished replacing the battery in a friend's iPod Classic 3rd Generation and found that they only made a 10, 15, 20, 30, and 40 GB hard drive for those that look as such: 2003-2009 with 4 buttons across the top (back track, menu, play/pause, and forward track) and beneath that is the touch wheel (pictured below is an example of how iPod Classic 3rd Gens look). If that is the case, someone may have upgraded the wrong size hard drive. The previous person may have instead installed a compact flash card. If I researched correctly, when upgrading to a compact flash card the iPod can be very touchy with which manufacturer of the compact flash card will work properly. If you click on the link and scroll down to posts, some people have specified which compact flash cards work. Best wishes. Please let me know if you were able to resolve your issue. -joe p http://www.tarkan.info/20080506/blog/iflash-compact-flash-compatibility-help-nee ded

Replaced airport, some devices won't connect.

I replaced my airport express with a new one. My ipad's and macbooks connect to it, but my iphone and my ROKU won't. Any ideas? I've reset the network settings on iphone, no luck, reset the network a million times with every different setting I can think of, no luck. Help?

Thank you for your suggestion, but it ahs resulting in longer having the network on my imac either. I may just start again from sqaure one. I just hope this isn't a persistent problem. Very disappointing.

IPod Nano 4GB won't connect!! help please!

ok so here's my problem::
i lost my original USB 2.0 charger cord and i got a new one yesterday. same thing..
only thing is, my iPod won't charge now. first, i plugged it into the laptop, and it said i needed to download iTunes. i did that & still didn't work. then, i tried charging it on the original computer i used to install my iPod when i got it. it still wont work. i tried the directions in the book the iPod Nano came with, and that didn't work..
!!HELP!!

The fifth generation iPods do not support synchronization through FireWire because they don't have the hardware component to include this. The component was dropped in part because syncing your entire iTunes library normally only needs to be done once unless the iPod is restored, and it will take longer for the iPod to fully charge than it will take to complete the synchronization through USB, and partially to make the iPod slightly smaller and save money. The time difference needed for subsequent synchronizations isn't nearly as noticeable.

USB devices won't connect until restart

Hello,
I'm having a problem with my mac. If I turn on my computer and connect a printer / ipod / wireless camera then everything works fine. However, if disconnect the device and try to reconnect it a minute / hour / day later then it doesn't recognise it. If I restart the computer, everything is fine again. I've read about other people having the same problems but there doesn't seem to be a solution.

TS3899 Have just uploaded iOS7 and now cannot get mail as device won't connect with server. Apple ID is ok - any suggestions?

Have just loaded iOS7 and now I cannot send or receive mail . Device message is : cannot open mail cannot connect with server. Any ideas?

Had the same problem. Deleted my account and readded it...still didn't work. Had a call with Apple, and they couldn't figure out why the Exchange server wouldn't work. They had me set up mail through Gmail, and that finally worked. There must be a bug they need to fix for the Exchange Server.

TS3899 Device won't connect with email

My ipod touch stopped connecting with email a couple of weeks ago. I went through all the steps on the support website. After deleting the account from the device, I tried to add it back and now all I get is a message that says "the IMAP server "apple.imap.mail.yahoo.com" is not responding". I have tried multiple times and checked all info for correctness.

Try resetting your Yahoo password. That is how I resolved your problem on my iPhone.

Dsl won't connect to Internet help!!

I have tried everything and this DSL will not work!! It's really frustrating considering that I do a lot online. Sometimes it works and some times it don't. When I call it's the same ole same ole we will send a tech to check my equipment inside. At this point I don't think it's that. Every one I know that has Verizon says that it so slow now, it half way works. Which is not fair to consumers spending their hard earned money on this dsl that doesn't work. Or half way works. I think it is a bigger problem than everyone's lines In their houses. Any suggestions on how to fix it. The only answer I have so far is to move to another Internet provider. Please help!!!!!

You have described my situation 1 year ago. Verizon replaced the line from pole to NID, ran a direct line from NID to modem jack (then I was able to eliminate all filter on my ancient phone. Cable from modem to jack was also repaced. Then thanks to the experts here I figured out I was about 2.5 mile from the Central Office and since some of the copper wiring could be as old as 20+ year the issue was not going away. Before switching I would contact customer service and see if they will upgrade you to FIOS, That is what they did for me and my speeds are up to 6 times faster on download (.75 Mb/s - DSL 5.0 Mb/s - FIOS) . There was no extra charges (install, router etc) at all, and my monthly payment is still under $35.00 for conventional phone and FIOS

5800 won't connect to internet - help!

My 5800XM has stopped connecting to the internet. If I go to, say the Ovi Store, I get the frot page, but instead of going to the Store, it returns to the previous screen. The same happens with other websites, too.
The phone usually asks how I wish to connect - WAP, wireless network and so on, but it is no longer doing so. I do hope I have just inadvertently changed a setting or something, as I have just got my phone back from being repaired, which took nearly 3 weeks...!
Any advice very much welcomed! Thank you.

No, I'm afraid not. My phone died completely for the 2nd time shortly after it stopped connecting to web pages. I tried everything suggested by chanchan05 and jjegan. I am going to be getting a new phone (another 5800XM) in the next few days, with any luck.
Can you get on to any websites at all? I was able to go on to Youtube, and occasionally ovi mail, but absolutely nothing else. The fact that I was able to get on to those suggested that it wasn't the internet settings as such, but something inside the phone wasn't allowing me to get on to most sites.
Is yours doing the same thing as mine, by returning to the screen from which you select the internet after a brief pause? Mine did, for a day, work well, asking me if I wanted to connect via WAP, the service provider's gubbins or by wifi, but it soon gave up even asking.

Device won't connect

I deleted everything from my Blackberry. Now I need to sync and restore my apple address book contacts. When I tried, Desk Manager froze, then when I restarted and tried again, it wouldn't connect to my blackberry. It searches and seems to make an initial connection, but the connection fails to go through.

Dear
BBDM (BB Desktop Manager) with the latest version having these kind of problems. Some users facing this as per my experience. NOw please check and verify these
1.        Please check that the other PC having same BBDM will work or not.
2        Uninstall the BBDM and restart and then install the latest version from the website of BB then connect and check is your problem resolved.
3.      If not then uninstall the BBDM you have currently restart and download the BBDM version 5. This will shourly resolve it. Because many users i am giving support are satisfied this way the when BBDM latest version gives prblem of syncing then do it with BBDM v5
4.      If BBDM v5 wont work on your PC then do it on another pc
Please verify these i will further guide you as per your post.
I hope these will solve your problem and you dont need any more to post for your problem
Thanks and regards
