Having trouble connecting after upgrading network
Hi. I'm currently running 10.5.5 on a 17inch MacBook Pro, and have two roommates running 10.5 and 10.4 on two different MacBooks. I used to run our apartment network (from a cable modem) over a AirPort Express Basestation Model #A1084, that was two years old. Last week, I upgraded to a brand new Airport Extreme. After setting it up as a replacement for the Express, I've had no problems, but my roommates are having issues connecting. One claims it takes up to 40 minutes for him to finally connect to the network, and after that, internet is still sketchy.
Since I'm having no real problems, I'm curious what could possibly be a problem. Any help?
May be worth trying the general iOS Wifi troubleshooting first. I don't think they've updated it yet for iOS7, but all the steps should be pretty much the same.

I am having trouble connecting to my network all of a sudden. I am able to connect to other networks but not my own. It is not an issue with the service/router because other devices connect fine. I keep getting kicked off and getting a ! in my airport. Last time it happended I called apple and the suggested I wipe my HD and reinstall everything. I did and it did not work. One day I turned my laptop on and it connected no problem. Now it has kicked me off again. I tried resetting my IP address but that does not work either! Has anyone had this problem?
Try this:
Apple menu / System Preferences / Network.
Click Location: and select Edit Locations..
Click + (plus sign), and enter a name for the new location - anything will do.
Apply this. -
I am having trouble connecting to wifi network via airport express on my windows xp pc, but I know it is working because I can connect on my macbook, does anyone know what the problem is?
Tell us more about the problem, I can think up 100&1 different reasons, but don't have time to go through all the possibilities. So.. what happens?

I am trying to use Siri, and I get the message "Sorry, I am having trouble connecting to the network." Is this the expected "growing pains" of this new feature/service, or am I doing something wrong? Are there any settings that I gotta do before I can use Siri?
Thanks.I've had the same issue with my wife's iPhone, the first night it worked great then nothing. My iPhone 4s has had no issues. I disabled Siri and shut the iPhone off, waited a minute or so and turned it back on. Re-enable Siri, her info populated automatically. Siri has been working for the last 30 minutes with no problems ?? Server problems, too many things open at once, having the phone loaded to the hilt with no free space? It could be any number of things, or many thing working together to silence Siri.....good luck all, I hope this helps.

hey guys,
Ok so here is the problem. I am having trouble connecting to wifi networks that are password secured. I am able to connect to public wifi with no problem, but when networks have passwords on them I am unable to connect to them, and I know that passwords. I also know that i am putting the correct passwords in because I am able to connect to the networks on my computer. I have tried turning my phone off and then back on, turning the wifi off and then back on and even resetting my network passwords to no avail. The networks that are secure show up in the wifi list for networks but when I go to put the password in, it tells me "incorrect password for the network". It has never connected to it since the passwords have been put on it. I am out of ideas for trouble shooting. Can anyone else help?!Try a soft reset by holding in the power button and the home button in at the same time for about 15 seconds until the screen flashes and then goes completely black. Afterwards try and turn the phone back on and see if that works. Also you could try and reset the Network Settings by going to Settings--General--Reset--Reset Network Settings and see if that resolves your problems as well. If all else fails be sure and do a backup through ITunes and then try to restore the device. Hopefully all will be well now.

I am having trouble connecting to a network
My personal WiFi network is locked and I cannot connect my IPad - what should I do?
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

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.

I'm having trouble connecting to the network on my HP stream 7
I'm having so much trouble with connecting my interet to my HP tablet , when i got it .. it was working perfectly fine couple days later it did not want to connect to my internet, it doesn't give any choices to what network to connect too. The troubleshooter said that it had to do something with the adapter. Please help!!!!
This happened to me and a few others here. The fix for me was uninstalling the wireless driver from Device Manager. I said "yes" when prompted to delete the driver files. I then ran the wireless driver installer from the hp.com site and that fixed it. You would have to download the file on another computer and then copy it to the Stream via USB, micro SD or bluetooth if that is working.

Having trouble connecting to wireless network
Hello. I am having some difficulties connecting to my Linksys router from my Powerbook G4. Here is my issue... sometimes airport can find the wireless connection (called Linksys) and sometimes it can't. I don't understand why it does sometimes, but other times it does not. I have a brand new iMac that is always able to find the network through the airport. I've never had problems with connecting the iMac to the wireless network, it's the Powerbook that will sometimes not find the wireless network in the drop down menu through airport. I don't understand how one computer can and one computer cannot. I was thinking maybe it's because the airport card is a bit older in the Powerbook and doesn't pick up as many networks, but like I said, some of the time it works just fine and it stays working until I shut down the laptop. Any ideas? I appreciate the help.
Try the following on your Powerbook:
1. Delete Preferred Network(s)
- System Preferences > Network > AirPort > Configure
- In the "By default, join:" pull-down menu, select "Preferred networks"
- Delete the network(s) you regularly use from the list
2. Delete AirPort Keychain Entries
- Launch the "Keychain Access" application located in Applications/Utilties.
- Click on the "Kind" filter at the top, and look for any "AirPort network password" entries...and delete them.
- Restart, or log out then back in.
3. Add Preferred Network(s)
- System Preferences > Network > AirPort > Configure
- In the "By default, join:" pull-down menu, select "Preferred networks"
- Add the preferred network(s) using the "+" button.
- Restart or log out then back in. -
Siri: "I'm having trouble connecting to the network."
Siri went down for me today at about noon. I'm on AT&T. I'm reposting because there has been a lul for several hours in discussion. Quite strange to have such a long draw of radio silence over an issue that was reportedly effecting so many users. Also quite strange that Apple has been leaving it mostly up to the user to figure out as opposed to making some sort of a statement... any statement really, with regards to their working on a solution.
(Sigh)
Betas... Whaddaya do, right? Well, some of the solutions were suggesting cycling power. Ah, the good'ol "cycle power" solution. This did the trick for some.
Not me.
Then I found some advice posted about disabling and enabling Siri as the solution.
Not for me.
Well, what about combining the disabling of Siri with cycling power before enabling Siri again?
Nope...
Do a factory reboot?
Nothing.
My favorite was disabling Siri, reseting the network settings through General - Reset - Reset Network Settings, and then enabling Siri after all was said and done.
This was the point at which I shed a single tear and bit my bottom lip so as to contain the dismay I was feeling at facing, yet again, one more alleged solution that didn't work for me.
Dear Apple (or anyone for that matter),
Please help. If it's a network problem on your end, just say so.

I am having trouble connecting to 3G network
I can use wifi with no problems. When I am outside of wifi, my data service lags and is mostly unusable. I am on my second 4S and have tried phone reset, network settings reset and nothing has fixed the problem. Verizon says it is nothing on their end, but I am not so sure. Apple has tried to be helpful but I am two and a half months in to my "smartphone" plan and it is not what was promised. I am open to additional solutions, but I am mostly just venting. I am very frustrated with this phone situation.
Hello Longknocker123,
We've an article that provides a few troubleshooting steps in addition to resetting network settings that may help get your data connection working the way it ought to.

New MacBook Air having trouble connecting to the network and staying connected
I have an iMac as my prime and a MacBook Air as my remote. My network is all Apple. If I close the lid on my MacBook Air it immediately disappears from finder as a shared resource. However, if on first run though I put it to sleep and then close the lid, it will remain on the network as a shared resource. From hereon in, I can just close the lid to put it to sleep and its fine.
If I restart either computer or both computers, I have to go through the first run routine again. What makes matters worse is I’m trying to do an 11pm Retrospect backup of the Air and if it gets lost from the network Retrospect is unable to find the device. I have to do a locate in Retrospect and then let it do its backup.
I think this putting it to sleep on first run and then closing the lid to maintain stability is just a workaround I accidentally discovered. I don’t think it should be working like this. I think if I just close the lid and let it sleep that way on first run it should remain on the network as a shared resource and I should continue to see it on my iMac in Finder but this isn’t the case.
I’m really looking for opinions on this issue, if others have experienced this and is there anything that can be done about it. I’ve got mixed messages from Apple Tech support but Retrospect tech support said I’m doing everything right. This to me seems like a bug in probably the software. The machine runs fine except for this one little quirk.
KerryYes its ticked. I’ve worked at this for two weeks and have gone through every iteration I can think of. Apple said that it is normal that the lid has to be open to have the shared resource but as long as on first sleep I put it to sleep first then close the lid it remains in the iMacs finder Window as a shared resource. And I can open and close the lid from thereon in and it is always there as a shared resource and Retrospect can locate it for backups.

Hi,
My daughters just got an ipod touch today and I'm having trouble connecting it to my Wi-Fi network. It identifies my wireless connection but then says 'unable to join the network' with the word 'Dismiss' underneath. Any ideas on what I can do? Thanks!!Hi
Thanks for your reply. I've tried resetting a few times. There is no 'tick' next to the name of my wireless connection so it won't connect at all. I think I may have to do something with my router as there is an arrow button to press next to my wireless name, this takes me to a screen which asks for IP address, then has options for DHCP BootP and Static, it asks for Client ID DNS etc - all gobbledegook to me!! Perhaps my router is blocking the Ipod?
Thanks anyway! -
Im having trouble connecting to my old HP 5MP on small network
Im having trouble connecting to my old (but still a great printer) HP 5MP which is connected (be causes it has no ethernet built in) via an Ansante eternet/localtalk bridge to the ethernet network and ti my old G4 Power PC Quicksilver (using 10.4.11). That is shared both by ethernet and (via my vodafone wireless router to my 21" iMac Macbook Pro. When I bought my new iMac and MBP I kept my old G4 so I could still use by SCSI Scanmaker E3+ scanner and my non-USB, non ethernet printer by sharing it from the G4. Worked OK but now not so over either wi-fi or ethernet. I just updated to Lion on the iMac and am on Snow Leopard on the MBP and they say they can't find suitable drivers. My work around has been to print to "Mail pdf" to myself and pick it up on the G4 and print from there direct to the 5MP. But now I can't even connect to the 5MP from there since downloading a software update which was something about enhancements to Airport.
Have tried resetting tie printing system, repairing disc permissions and rebuilding the drive using diskwarrior on t he G4 but now I can't get any mac to see and add the 5MP. My old Epson Photo stylus 1200 works OK on USB but I need my 5MP tp work. Can you help on that please?Those converters like the AsanteTalk are notorious for not re-acquiring Printers that drop out for any reason.
Get everything else powered up, then cycle off the AsanteTalk, count slowly to 10, then power the AsanteTalk on last.
