On the router change the channel for the 2.4mhz to channel 1, 6, or 11. rather than auto.
on the devices go to Settings > Wifi > click the blue arrow beside the network > Select Forget network
go to Settings > general > reset > reset network settings
power the devices off and on. Connect again

  • IPod Having Trouble Joining Wifi

    Hello all. I hope you are all having a wonderful day.
         I am having a problem with my iPod joining wifi, dealing with Password Encryption. We have a comcast modem-router that was very recently installed. This router uses the WPA2-PSK (AES) encryption. My iPod was originally working perfectly fine with the Wifi. Now, it just says 'Failed to join network <my network name>'. I am sure it is not that I'm entering the password wrong, because I have even tried changing the wifi password (via router management). Any possible fixes?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    ~Phantom

    Does the iPod connect to other networks?
    Does the iPod see the network?
    Any error messages?
    Do other devices now connect?
    Did the iPod connect before?
    Try the following to rule out a software problem:                 
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on the router
    - Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    - iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    - Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
    - iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    - Restore from backup. See:
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • MacBooks intermittently having trouble joining old AEBS

    I have been using my old (g) AEBS in my office for a few months without problems. However, for the last week or so my two partners and I have experienced intermittent problems joining the network (all using "n" MacBooks). Sometimes we can, sometimes we can't, some times one or two of us can but the others can't - there seems to be no pattern.
    Oddly my iPhone and my partner's blackberry can always connect.
    Looking at the AEBS logs, when the clients try and fail to collect the log shows:
    "Severity:3 Request denied for UDP 5353 to with lifetime 7200 [refused]"
    Sometimes the numbers are different (4500 instead of 5353).
    Any ideas why this might be happening?

    I think the problem was interference - have just scanned using Air Radar (thanks for the poster who suggested that for a different problem I posted) and there were 5 networks on the same channel last time I had the issue - now have found a less crowded channel and things are more reliable.

  • Trouble joining network

    I have two systems: One is an older powerbook G4 running 10.4 and the other is a new MacBook Pro running 10.6.
    The older one can't join the network. The newer one - no problem.  I get an error on the Powerbook "There was an error joining the Airport network ...."

    Older macs don't support the newer protocols and encryption modes. Be sure your network is setup to be backwards compatible. i am of course assuming you are trying to join wirelessly.

  • HT4528 Having trouble with my apple password.  ICloud and Dropbox both accepted my new password because they woulod not accept my apple password

    Need help sorting out apple ID.  Icloud and Dropbox asked for a new ID which worked fine. Why does it not work on my new iphone to get the dropbox app?

    Ben
    I had a similar issue with my iPad, it was asking for what essentially was a username - back before you needed an actual email address, god knows why, so I ignored it during the setup process and once the home screen loaded up it asked my for my details and hey presto it was fine.
    If you don't get asked for your details right away you can add them by going to Settings>iTunes & App Store

  • Having problem joining and hosting games

    I have a WRT54G wireless route and since I installed it I am having trouble joining and hosting multilayer games. Please help if you need anymore info I'll be glad too give more

    You can do a few things to fix this.  One, you can set your computer as a DMZ from with in your router.  Two, you can find out what ports your games use and open those ports and direct them to your computers IP.  Joining games that other poeple are hosting is a whole new ball game and depends on many factors.  What internet connection you have, the hosts internet connection, are you connecting multiple computers from your connection?  This is a good place to start to figure out your problem.

  • Hi, My daughters just got an ipod touch today and I'm having trouble connecting it to my Wi-Fi network!??

    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!

  • I am having trouble with my Mac Mini's ethernet connection.   Defining a new network interface shows no ethernet adaptor.  Reloading SL from DVD repaired.  But SL update lost ethernet again.  Will Lion Fix?

    I am having trouble with my mac mini ethernet.  It had been working for weeks after an update to SL 10.6.8.
    Once it went out and i repaired it by defining a new connection from System Preferences ->Network->(left panel service, +).
    But yesterday, after a power up.  my ethernet was not working again. I tried this old trick to repair it, but the interface choices
    listed for '+' a new service did not include Ethernet any more.  And the Utilities->System Profiler->Ethernet Cards shows
    no ethernet available.
    As a last ditch effort i reloaded my original SL from DVD.  (I think it was version 10.6.4 but i could be mistaken on the version).
    The ethernet worked!  But KeyNote wasn't going to work because apparently the version i purchased depends on 10.6.8.
    So I upgraded again to SL 10.6.8 (Plus some other updates like AirPort which i don't use).
    Now the Ethernet is not working again.  I see the same symptoms as before with the Ethernet seeming not installed.
    Is this a problem seen by others?
    Would going to Lion fix the problem?
    Could AirPort actually be the culprit and not SL?
    If i stay with my original SL, would i need to repurchase a version of KeyNote for the older version of SL?

    Have you reset the SMC?
    Shut down the computer.
    Unplug the computer's power cord.
    Wait fifteen seconds.
    Attach the computer's power cord.
    Wait five seconds, then press the power button to turn on the computer.
    While you're at it, resetting the PRAM won't hurt anything and 'might' help is SMC reset didn't work (PRAM does some port control):
    Shut down the computer.
    Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    Turn on the computer.
    Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
    Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    Release the keys.
    Something else you might try .... you don't say how you're updating to 10.6.8, however, if you're using Software Update, you might try downloading the 10.6.8 combo update, which contains all updates to 10.6. Sometimes, Software Update doesn't work quite right, and installing the combo update fixes that. Download the update from Apple's download site at http://support.apple.com/downloads/ , using Disk Utility repair permissions, apply the combo update, then repair permissions again.

  • I am having trouble connecting to my network all of a sudden. It is not an issue with the service/router. I keep getting kicked off and getting a ! in my airport... anyone know what's up with this?

    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.

  • Having trouble setting up network

    Hi guys,
    I just recently moved to a new house and am having trouble setting up the network with my airport extreme. There is a cable modem that is networked to the house so that every room has an outlet.
    I connected the airport to one of the outlets with my macbook and when I create network, I cannot connect to the internet wirelessly even though the macbook detects a network when I set it up with bridge mode. But hard wired through the router I can surf the web as I am doing right now.
    When I hit share an IP address, the internet does not work at all. It seems to work fine with my old netgear router, but would prefer using the airport.
    I've also reset the airport as well with still no luck. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

    Have you tried powering down the modem for 5 min and then turning on with the ethernet connected to the WAN port of airport extreme?

  • Having trouble printing over a home network to a Canon S9000 from iMac

    Hello there,
    I recently bought a iMac and am having trouble printing to my Canon S9000 over my home network. If I hook up the printer to the iMac I can print to it, but the PC that is also hooked up to the network can't. If the printer is hooked up to the PC, the PC can print to it, but the iMac can not.
    I downloaded the S9000 driver from Canon and installed it on the iMac. Then brought up the printer in system preferences. I found my printer OK, but I can't seem to find the S9000 driver in the list.
    When the printer is hooked up to the PC and I try to print to it from the iMac this is the error I get: "Error Number : 311 Printer is in use or an error has occurred. If an error has occurred, eliminate the cause of the error."
    Any help is greatly appreciated!
    Thanks!

    Your problem is due to the way that Canon wrote the drivers for that printer. It can be shared to Windows machines if it is on a Windows machine, or to Macs if it is on a Mac. It can't be shared cross-platform. It is not supported by GutenPrint, so there is no CUPS system driver available; if there was, you could put it on the Windows machine and share it, and use the CUPS driver to print on your Mac.
    I'm sorry, but that printer will not ever be able to be shared cross-platform unless and until Canon rewrites the drivers. I'd not recommend holding your breath while waiting.
    The best solution to cross-platform printing is to get a network printer. Many vendors, including Brother, Canon, Epson, and HP, make them, some of them at fairly low (under $100) prices.
