HT1688 No wifi on my iPhone only 4g

My phone says that my wifi is on but I only have 4g showing on my phone. I have turned it off and on and that did not help. I have left my wifi and rejoined that did not help. I have wifi on my iPad but not my phone. Can anyone help me?

Hi Every One, I think my Iphone is doing the same?
The last time i remember connecting to a wifi network as about 2 weeks ago when i cannoct to a Premier Inn Lodge network, and then the Portal page came you to by time, so i just clicked forget network. and then phone froze.
since then. my iphone can see wifi networks. but every time i try to connect to any such as BTopenzone and The Cloud or my work Wifi and even my Home wifi i get unable to connect.
I've tried the following and nothing seems to work,
Reset IPhone
Reset network Settings
Done a IPhone Restore Via Itunes
Restarted My Router
Disabled the Security on my Router.
tried router with WEP, WPA and WPA2
Tried Setting iphone with static IP
Ive added my iphone MAC address to the router
all does not work, can still see it - but cant connect.
also what makes me think its the iphone is because my partner as an iphone and i clicked forget Network on hers to prove a point and then it connected to wifi network again with no problems and I've checked the settings on each iphone and they are all the same.
Any Ideas or is the Wifi Broken?
Regards
Dan

IPhone only syncs to my girlfriend's Macbook Air

Some how along the way, my iPhone syncing transfered from my Macbook Pro to my girlfriend's MBA. When I plug in my phone to my computer, iTunes does not automatically start and when I manually start it, my phone does not appear in the Devices sidebar. When I try to Wifi Sync, my iPhone only wants to sync to her laptop, not mine.
Note, I had the iPhone before the girlfriend (and thus her MBA) so it was syncing to my laptop at one point.
How do I fix this? I want my iPhone to sync to my laptop and her iPhone to sync to hers.

If you have been using wifi syncing with her laptop you first need to disable this by unchecking this on the Info tab of the sync settings on her computer, followed by syncing. Then when you attempt to sync with your MBP, if not done carefully, you will losing everything on your phone. You first need to copy your iTunes library from her computer to yours (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527) unless your music and other media is already in the iTunes library on your MBP. Once done, carefully follow the steps in wjosten's post here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/13356770#13356770 (substitute Outlook for iCal and Address Book in step 2).

Aperture isn't importing videos from iPhone, only photos. I've tried plugged in and over wifi. Help?

How did you transfer the photos from your other iPhone? If you did it by importing them from the old phone to a computer and then used iTunes to sync them back to the new phone, then you would delete them by syncing again using iTunes but this time change the selection of which photos are to be synced. Each time you sync using iTunes, it sets the non-Camera Roll photos on the phone to match the current settings/selection in iTunes.

After I connect with my iPhone (3GS 5.0.1) to any Ad-hoc wireless Network then walk away out of the reach of my wifi network, my iPhone can't find any wifi Network afterwards, only by turning off the iPhone completely and turning on again.

switching off wifi and on again or going into airplane mode did't help!
This problem happens only with ad-hoc wifi networks not with normal ones.
(Ad-Hoc network was created on XP Computer)

Welcome to Apple Discussions
Sorry, but the 169.x.x.x IP address is internally generated by the iPod (and iPhone) and indicates that a network has been detected but no IP address has been issued. Your friends iPhone was not connected to your ad hoc network either - it connected to the internet through the 3G network.
You should read through the Vista help screens on ad hoc networking for some insight how this works. You should be able to get some ideas there.
In the mean time, $40 or less will buy you a very capable wireless router with four Ethernet ports and will simplify your network tremendously. Having used Windows ICS for a long time, the addition of a router and a real network simplified things so much.

TS4020 "cannot get mail" The connection to the server failed. My mail account from Icloud will work if I only disconnect my wifi in my iphone and use internet plan from carrier. Anybody else with this proble??

I've been having the same problem since iCloud appeared and complicated an otherwise trouble-free system. Doubling frustrating is that iCloud duplicates my .Mac account so I get two of everything in my Inbox. I turned off iCloud and now mail at least goes out but I can't delete the duplicate account.

HT1430 iPhone only recognizes one home wifi network but ipad recognizes both

I have two home wifi networks. My iphone only recognizes one wifi which is the slower. Ipad recognizes both. I've turned router off and on and turned iphone off and on and makes no differences. Also ipad used to pick up unsecured wifi networks but no longer does
which I don't want but wonder why that suddenly changed

Hey Dann4ever,
I would follow these steps for when you're unable to locate a Wi-Fi network on your iOS devices:
Be sure you're in range of your Wi-Fi router (access point).
Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and turn Wi-Fi off and on. If your W-Fi setting is dimmed, follow these steps.
Confirm that your Wi-Fi router and cable or DSL modem are connected to power, turned on, and connected to the Internet. If not, refer to your network administrator or Internet service provider (ISP) for assistance.
Restart your iOS device.
Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and locate the Wi-Fi network to which you're connected.
Tap i and Forget this Network.
Try to connect to your desired Wi-Fi network.
Note: You may need to enter your Wi-Fi password again if your network requires one.
Turn your Wi-Fi router off and on2. If your ISP also provides cable or phone service, check with them before attempting this step to avoid interruption of service.
Update your device to the latest version of software.
Update your Wi-Fi router to the latest firmware2. For AirPort Base Stations, install updates using the AirPort Utility.
Verify that the network is available by tapping Settings > Wi-Fi and choosing from the available networks.Note: It may take a few seconds for the Wi-Fi network name to appear.
Move closer to your wireless router (access point) and attempt to locate the Wi-Fi network.
If you do not see the network you would like to join, you may be attempting to connect to a hidden network. Learn how to join a hidden network.
Supported Wi-Fi configurations vary by iOS device model. Find out which standards your device supports3.
Reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Note: This will reset all network settings including:
previously connected Wi-Fi networks and passwords
recently used Bluetooth accessories
VPN and APN settings
via: iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections

How do I create a new Apple ID for wife's new iPhone 6 Plus?

Our family has many Apple Devices (Mac Book Air, iMac, iPhone 6, iPad 3rd Gen. iPod 5th Gen. and as of today a new iPhone 6 Plus. All of our Devices have always been using one Apple ID. This has created zero issues until now. With my wife's new iPhone 6 Plus I downloaded Find Friends and also Find My iPhone. I can't find any way to set up her iPhone 6 Plus tied only to her email address and cell phone number. Whenever I open Find Friends on either device and select the appropriate email address it changes the other device to that email address for Find Friends. I am beginning to think that now with two iPhones we will need to get my wife her own Apple ID. When I went to Create an Apple ID using her email address it won't allow it because her email address is associated as an alternate under my Apple ID. Reading Apple Support documents it shows using a common Apple ID for iTunes and App Store purchases but a separate Apple ID for iCloud if desired. Bottom Line, I think I have to Delete her email address from My Apple ID Account so that I can use that email for her new Apple ID. When I delete her email address from My Apple ID Account isn't that going to impact our shared Apps and iTunes Purchases?

No, she can use the existing AppleID for purchasing and use her own new AppleID for content syncing. If you wish to, you can set up Family Sharing and add her to your iCloud family. That will enable you to share certain resources such as calendars.

Definitely sounds like an issue with your Wi-Fi network. Do any other devices on the network have similar issues? Is it an issue only with downloading apps? You can check by trying to load a website in Safari.
I would try turning your Wi-Fi router off for 1 minute, and back on again.
After doing that, disconnect and re-join the Wi-Fi network on your iPhone and try downloading an app again.

Why can't I connect to my iphone5 with my iPad, Snote2 or another iPhone5 through wifi as a hotspot, only through Bluetooth? My Snote2 can't even find the iphone5 as a hotspot.

I've reset, restored and updated everything but no go.

WiFi is preferable for use as a hotspot to Bluetooth.
Have you tried Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings?
If you have and it didn't work I would take the iPhone in for service.

When I create a photo stream in ios6, everyone who is logged in to my iCloud account can see and edit my stream (on their iPhones only). Not just the email addressees that I sent the photo stream link to. Is that how photo stream security is meant to work

When I create a photo stream in ios6, everyone who is logged in to my iCloud account can see and edit my stream (on their iPhones only). Not just the email addressees that I sent the photo stream link to. Is that how photo stream security is meant to work? Is so it means my whole family can see any photo stream I set up. Hence no security? Can't share the pics with the wife then :(

The whole idea to an icloud account is that one user uses it and has all their devices synced together. Different users need different Apple IDs to create their own icloud accounts. Note that everyone can still use the same ID for an iTunes account (to share purchases).
To create a new icloud account, go to

When I got my new iphone 4, I gave my wife my old iphone. She has her own Apple Id but the icloud on her phone is in my email name account. If I delete it to create her own icloud account, will I loose my stuff on my icloud account?

Welcome to the Apple community.
When you delete the old account from the phone, the data is only deleted from that device, it is not deleted from the cloud. As such you will not lose the data off your phone either.

IPad with Cellular v with WiFi if my iphone has a personal hotspot?

Giving an iPad Air as a Christmas gift. Do I need to pay extra for an iPad with cellular service if I have an iPhone with a personal hotspot? If not, are there any advantages in paying the extra for the cellular v WiFi iPad?

The only advantage I can think of is if the phone contract's data plan is limited. Then an iPad data plan would provide more MBs. I used to have ipads with cellular available, but now that I have an iphone with a hotspot feature, and the fact that I rarely use the hotspot, I opted for wifi only ipad.

Wifi of my iphone 4s has grayed out within 3 months of my purchase..I have now got a replacement from Apple

Wifi of my iphone 4s has grayed out within 3 months of my purchase..I have now got a replacement from Apple but unfortunately it worked for only 1 day and the wifi got grayed out again...I tried resetting all my settings but all in vain. How many times have i to replace my iphone..Has Apple not thought of solving the wifi issues from the core. I have heard many users are having this problem. Why hasn't Apple taken any step to improve and solve this issue. After buying such a high end product, this is what u get??? Most of the Apple users are now shifting to Samsung phones..I was a great fan of Apple and have been using all apple products but this has really disheartened me..Apple please wake up!!!
iPhone 4S, iOS 6.1.4
I have this question too (0)
