HT5569 on my wifi page linksys what does the Renew Lease mean? I'm having trouble staying connected to my home wifi, does this have anything to do with that?

I'm having trouble staying connected to my home Wifi, it keeps going to 3G (I have never had this problem until today) When it is connected while I'm close to the router I click on the circled i after the linksys & it goes to the IP adress stuff, down a little waysafter the DNS & sarch domains it says Renew Lease - should I click on that?

DHCP is the system that dynamically assigns ip addresses from a pool of addresses.
You get a lease for the ip addresses. After the lease is up, the ip addresses is released and put back in the pool.
You get assigned another ip address.
Renewing the lease releases the IP address and assigns you a new one.
It will not cause any harm.

TS1398 im having real problems connecting to my home wifi, it keeps coming up saying unable to join even though the password is correct, this has been ever since i updated software to ios6

Im having real problems connecting to my home wifi from my i phone 4s, it just keeps saying unable to join even though the password is correct,
I have tried resetting my network settings but to no avail,
yesterday I reset all settings then it actually worked, however today the problem started again so I repeated the reset but it still isn't working
This has only started happening since i upgraded software to ios6
Please help

Here is what I would do:
Shutdown all computers connected to the router.
Power off the router.
Power off the modem (cable or DSL).
Wait 30 seconds.
Power on the modem. Ensure all lights are lit and the modem is online.
Power on the router. Ensure it's communicating to the modem.
Turn on your Macbook Pro first (the one experiencing the issue. Check it's connection. If it's still having issues, removed the networks it can attach to, turn off WiFi; then turn WiFi back on and reconnect to your WiFi network.
Turn on other Macs in household. Check their connections.
Sometimes "rebooting" the modem and router fixes connectivity issues.

My iPhone 4S will no longer stay connected to my home wifi after being reset at the Apple store. Help!

After I took my iPhone to the Apple store for a completely different problem, which they fixed, my wifi will no longer recognise my home wifi like it used to.

Hey TSWinchester,
Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
I'm glad to hear my colleagues at the Apple Store were able to resolve your original issue. Let's see if we can figure out what is going on with your iPhone connecting to Wi-Fi.
Is your Wi-Fi network appearing in the "Choose a Network" section under Settings > Wi-Fi? If not, please see the following article for troubleshooting steps:
iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
Also, you may need to confirm that your Wi-Fi network is not configured to be hidden. For more information on password-protected networks, and hidden networks, see this article:

I'm having troubles connecting to my wifi at home. I have the 4th Gen. iPod touch. My screen is cracked, does this have anything to do with it? I recently had a trip down to LA, and before my trip the wifi was working fine. Is there anyway to fix this?

the wifi works perfectly fine on all my other electronics, and I've already tried reseting and moving the router. The wifi signal is only strong if I am within 5 feet of the router.

- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: 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 networks settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings

Exporting sequence from Final Cut Pro 7, some clips are pixellated and bad quality, does this have anything to do with the fact that I changed those clips speed?

Hello,
Bit of a beginner using Final Cut Pro 7
Am currently trying to export a sequence using quicktime conversion. Sequence has various filters and effects over it and when I export it some of the clips are pixellated and appear to have not exported correctly. From what I can gather the affected clips have either been slowed down or made faster. I am wondering whether this is the reason they have not exported correctly
Any help would be appreciated
Cheers

More information needed.
Codec of material?
Sequence settings? (codec)
fwiw - do not use quicktime conversion. Use Export Quicktime with Current Settings enabled then do any format conversions in Compressor.

I have an external hard drive that is both Mac and Windows compatible and can no longer delete any files. I recently reformatted my Mac, does this have anything to do with it?

I've clicked on the 'get info' tab, but it says read only for all files.

You can't write to it because it's formatted as NTFS which OS X will read but not write to. If you want to continue using the drive with both a PC and OS X you will need to download and install NTFS-3G so you can then write to it from your Mac. You can get NTFS-3G at:
http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/24481/ntfs-3g
If you want to use the drive exclusively with your Mac then move the data off it and reformat it in Disk Utility (Applications - Utilities - Disk Utilities) as Mac OS Extended (Journaled.)

I was able to create a guest network, However Devices will not log into it. Does this have anything to do with my uverse wireless modem

Help, I have created the guest network. However, no devices can log into it. Can someone help me with my Guest network issues?

Unfortunately, Apple assumes that you will be using a simple modem with their routers. Something like this, for example, which will allow the Guest Network feature to work correctly, since the AirPort will be the main router on the network.
The Uverse is a modem/router, also known as a gateway......a device that combines the functions of a separate modem and separate router in one package. An example of a modem/router would look like this:
Because the Uverse is already operating as the main router for the network, the AirPort cannot take that role. So, the Guest Network will not function correctly with the type of device that you have.....even if you try to enable it in AirPort Utility.
Suggest that you use the AirPort router as your main network, and use the Uverse wireless for "guests".
Sometimes, it is possible to reconfigure a modem/router to act as if it were a simple modem. I do not think that this is possible with a Uverse product, but you could check with ATT on that possibility if you wanted to do so.

Allowed pop ups but safari won't open my Uni website. It just opens a fresh blank page? Using sim not wifi would this have something to do with it?

I have a new iPad and am trying to open my Uni website. I have allowed pop ups but it just opens a new blank page. I'm using a sim not wifi, would this have anything to do with it?

Thanks again ...
This trouble is fairly new as I just got my MacBook Pro. It's been going on for 2 weeks or so. Prior to the MacBook I was using my old PC laptop and never had any difficulty.
Nobody else seems to be having this problem at school and IT is completely unhelpful. I've been told that nothing's wrong with the uni's internet/network, it's my laptop.
Could it be that the uni's network doesn't recognize my new Mac's IP address (I think that's right) and for some reason is blocking access?
As for the VPN idea - I think I get it. Can I set that up myself?

What is the make & model of your home Wi-Fi router that you are attempting to connect your G5 iMac to? Which exact model of iMac do you have?
What wireless security type is your router using: WEP, WPA, or WPA2? If you temporarily disable wireless security, can the iMac connect to it now?

I have a new iMac. I have set up a user page for myself, for my wife and an administrator page. My question is my wife needs files from my user page transferred to her page. What's the easiest way?

I have a new iMac. I have set up a user page for myself, for my wife and an administrator page. My question is my wife needs files from my user page transferred to her page. What's the easiest way?

I've done this by dragging files from my user page to her drop box. In Finder, drag the required files and hover over the hard disc icon in the navigation bar on the left. As you hover, it will open another finder window showing the contents. Work your way down these windows into <Her username | Public | Dropbox>. Drop the files into the dropbox. She can then retrieve them from her user page.
Good luck,
Stephen

HT4623 what does "renew lease" mean in the wifi settings?

cannot connect to office internet. it has connected before and all other Apple products are connected
want to know what VPN is
also what does "renew lease" means.

VPN is "Virtual Private Network" which are settings set by your IT professionals that will tell your iPad how to log into your network and become "Part" of your business network. This way if you are at home and for security reasons there are things you need to do and need to be at a computer in the office, you could be at home and your iPad would be part of the office network as if you logged in at your office.
When you renew your lease, you are basically telling your iPad to search for a new IP address on the network. Throughout times your ISP may change you IP address when the lease runs up on an IP address. When this is done, most times your router and modem will automatically update "renew" this address, and ocassionally need you to manually do this. Renewing this lease, does just that, it updates the address information so you can start to properly get information as needed from the network.

My ipad does not want to connect to my home wifi's, worthless. why has this just happened. is apple aware?

In the last 2 days my Ipad does not want to connect to the internet via my home wifi's i have not done anything different so cany understand why this is happeniong. it just wont connect. Its a good job i have my 3g connection otherwise it would be worthless. i have tried resetting my wifi connections on my pad and unplugging the modem and resetting that. nothing is working. i have read several forums about this and seems to be an issue with a lot of ipads, i have read what you can do, however i dont think i should have to reset this, reset that, change this and change that when clearly its an apple issue.
can someone provide me with any simple way of fixing this issue. or can apple spend a little bit of their millions of dollars of profit to fix this little proble.

Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.
