I can't connect to the router in my home.  Things were working fine as usual - I attended school and connected to their WiFi network as usual.  When I returned home I could not connect to my own home router.  The Ipad seeks the network but nothing happens

I can't connect to the router in my home.  The Ipad seeks the network but nothing happens.  I went to school and connected to their WiFi network as usual with no problems.  When I returned home I could not connect to my home router.  The Ipad seeks the router number but nothing happens.  I rebooted the Ipad a few times in the school.  The numbers identifying the router, etc. on my Ipad no longer appear there. 
TThe Ipad guide says to connect to the WiFi use setup but I can't find the setup program in the Ipad.
I reset the network settings to the factory defaults but this doesn't fix the problem.
What can I do to reconnect to my home router?

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

    Your computer can't connect to a computer named "son1175", or if it can then that computer isn't running a server listening at port 25. Talk to your network people if your computer name is the right one and ask them why not. It is nothing to do with programming.

  • My keypad keeps disappearing when using google -- but only in the horizontal position.  In vertical, it works fine.  I have powered off and on, checked that Safari Instant is on, and cleared Safari cache.  Any help will be appreciated.

    My keypad keeps disappearing when using google -- but only in the horizontal position.   Vertically, it works fine.  I have powered off and then back on.  I have checked that Safari instant is on, and I have cleared Safari cache.  Nothing has worked so far.

    Okay -- it fixed itself.  Without any intervention, after all else had failed, and I was willing to live evermore with vertical searches.  If only everything else in my house mysteriously recovered from the broken state.
    Have no idea what was/is going on with the disappearing keypad.

  • "iTunes could not connect to the Music Store" Error Message

    Hello all,
    I finally got my script running correctly and I can see the front page of my iTunesU site(Yay!). But I am getting an irritating error message, and what is unusual are the circumstances under which I see the error message and the circumstances under which I do NOT see the error message. Allow me to elaborate.
    Scenario #1
    I have iTunes open on my computer. I go to the login page I created on my school's website and login. I watch as the "Music Store" page on iTunes gives way to the front page of my iTunesU site. Perfection! This is the behavior I want!
    Scenario #2
    I DO NOT have iTunes open on my computer. I go to the login page I created on my school's website and login. I watch as iTunes begins to open and then spits out this error message:
    "iTunes could not connect to the Music Store. An unknown error occurred. Make sure your network connection is active and try again."
    There is also an error number attached to the error message but it changes from time to time with no explanation. Here is the strange part. If I just hit "OK" on the error message my iTunesU site opens fine.
    I've tried this on my home and work computers and a friend's computer and the behavior is the same. Moreover I surfed over to the Stanford iTunesU login page: http://itunes.stanford.edu/ and I get the same behavior(which pretty much rules out in my mind that it is a problem with my script).
    I guess it isn't a huge deal. Worse comes to worse we can tell the students and faculty, if you see an error message from iTunes just hit "OK". But I'm rolling out this slick new iTunesU site and this error message is like a scratch in the paint job. Plus my boss is looking over my shoulder like "what's that error?" and it is starting to detract from the computer whiz kid image I've worked so hard to cultivate
    My possible suspects are:
    iTunes - (Went over to the iTunes discussion board and a lot of people report similar error messages when trying to get into the Music Store but I couldn't find anyone who said hitting "OK" made it possible to proceed)
    My script -(seems unlikely since Stanford has the same problem)
    The configuration on the computers I've tested it on - (But I've tested it on three different computers!)
    iTunesU - If this is the problem I'm hoping you people can help me.
    So has anyone else experienced this?
    Try to login into your iTunesU page with and without iTunes already open. See any error messages or weird behavior?
    Try the same thing on Stanford's site: http://itunes.stanford.edu/
    If you can repeat my result then post it here so Apple will know this is an issue. If you can't repeat my result then post it here so that I might know I need to look elsewhere for the problem.
    Thank you for your kind attention.

    I'm seeing this error on some, but not all, of my Windows XP machines. On my personal development XP box, I see this error if iTunes is closed when I try and access iTunes U via my transfer script or Stanford's.
    "iTunes could not connect to the Music Store. The network connection was terminated unexpectedly. Make sure your network connection is active and try again."
    The errors occured in IE 7 Beta, Firefox 1.5.x, and Firefox 2 Beta. In each case, iTunes U loaded after I clicked the 'ok' button in iTunes. I did notice that in Firefox's case an additional pop-up window appeared that asked whether or not I had iTunes; when I selected that I do have itunes, it transfered me to iTunes but generated the error.
    After getting these errors on my Windows XP machine, I tried it on two different lab machines running Windows XP, and didn't get the error message once -- I tried it in IE 6, Firefox 1.0.x and Firefox 1.5.x and they all worked. It even worked with IE 7 Beta and Vista Beta.
    Based on this, I think the problem must lie in how Windows registered iTunes, and the handshake just isn't happening properly.

  • ITunes could not connect to the iTunes Store "Error Message"

    I recently added iTunes 7.6 to my Windows XP operating system at the same time when I added an *Ion USB Turntable (TTUSB).* I currently have the 80G iPod with the larger video screen. I added in the supplied software of the EZ Vinyl Converter. The software reads from Gracenote and imports into iTunes okay. But now my PC cannot access the iTunes store to buy songs, read the tracks on the discs, or display new album artwork. The diagnostic read the network connectivety test, the CD/DVD drive, and iPod connectivity tests all read okay. I followed the directions on checking the network settings under the Internet Options Tool "Connections" Lan Settings and the Automatic detection and still no dice. All I get is "Make sure your network is active."
    Can anybody help out their?

  • My MacBook Pro will not connect to my home wifi but will connect everywhere else. My other Apple devices (I-pad, I-touch, another MacBook Pro) connect to the router without problems. It was working fine but all of a sudden stopped working.Thanks!

    My MacBook Pro will not connect to my home wifi but will connect everywhere else. My other Apple devices (I-pad, I-touch, another MacBook Pro) connect to the router without problems. It was working fine but all of a sudden stopped working.Thanks!

    try this.
    get back into your router's settings and start deleting devices that are not connected to your router.
    you can also delete the ones that are connected - they'll connect again.
    on the DHCP side of it, increase the amount of users that can connect/log in to your router.
    see if that sorts it out for you.
    good luck.

    I have an existing new belkin modem router which works fine with quiet a few wired and wireless products in my house. My question is if i buy a time capsule can i put it in another room and wirelessly connect it to the belkin modem router, I would then just like my macbook pro and (imac future purchase) to wirelessly back up to it???????????

    Your will need to perform a Factory Default Reset on the TIme Capsule to clear out the current network settings and then reconfigure it to "join" your wireless network using the AirPort Utility setup application.
    To perform the Factory Default Reset on the Time Capsule....
    Pull the power cord from the back of the device
    Wait a few moments
    Hold in the reset button on the back of the Time Capsule and keep holding it an additional 8-10 seconds while you simultaneously plug the power cord back in to the Time Capsule
    Release the reset button after the hold period and allow 25-30 seconds for the Time Capsule to restart to a slow, blinking amber light
    On your Mac.....
    Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
    Click Continue
    Follow the guided setup and choose the "join" option when it appears duriing the setup
    You will need to know the exact type of wireless security that the Belkin router is using to enter this information during the setup of the Belkin. Otherwise, the Time Capsule cannot join the network, and you will receive an error message after the configuration process.

    Hello Beckieor,
    After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help in this situation. It contains a number of troubleshooting steps and helpful advice concerning network issues:
    iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    Follow these steps to troubleshoot the above issues:
    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 Wi-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 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.

  • Tried EVERYTHING!!! HELP!!! iTunes could not connect to the music store...

    HELP! I have tried everything...I keep receiving the following error message:
    "iTunes could not connect to the music store. Network connection was refused. Make sure your network settings are correct and network connection is active, then try again."
    I have a 60GB video ipod. OS Windows XP Service Pack 1. Dial up AOL. No firewalls, checked connections, followed all instructions on the support page, contacted customer support via email (see responses below), contacted AOL (referred me back to iTunes), iTunes referred me to customer support number for iPod (which I called, and they referred be back to iTunes customer support via email). After emailing customer support and receiving a general response, and replying to each response, the email said they were not technical support...read all emails below beginning with the most recent:

    Dear Emily,
    Thank you for contacting the iTunes Music Store. We're sorry to hear you are still unable to connect to the store. At the end of this email we have included further possible solutions to the issue you are encountering.
    We're also sorry your iTunes Music Gift email didn't reach the recipient. The gift code you purchased is ... The recipient's ISP may have inadvertently blocked or filtered our email, thinking it was spam.
    If you purchased your gift using iTunes, you can resend it with a few simple mouse clicks. Just follow these easy steps to resend an unredeemed music gift to any address:
    http://www.info.apple.com/kbnum/n301476
    If you would rather email the gift information directly to the recipient using your email program, we've included instructions for your recipient and the gift code below.
    1. Download and install the latest version of iTunes. You can download the latest version, free-of-charge, from our website.
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    2. Click the link below to launch the iTunes application and view the gift page.
    http://www.itunes.com/go/songcode/
    3. Click Redeem.
    4. Copy this gift code and paste it into the Redeem code entry box.
    Again, we're sorry you are still unable to connect to the store.
    First, please make sure you're using the latest version of iTunes before you access the iTunes Music Store. You can download the latest version of iTunes from our website.
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Also, some software that you install on your computer can affect the way your computer sends and receives information from the Internet. A few examples of this software are:
    * Firewalls
    * Internet security software
    * Privacy filters
    * Web accelerators
    * Ad filters
    If you cannot use the iTunes Music Store, try disabling this software temporarily to identify the culprit. Then, please refer to the documentation that came with the software to allow the iTunes Music Store to connect to the Internet. For your reference, these domains need to be permitted to send and receive data from the Internet:
    phobos.apple.com
    phobos.apple.com.edgesuite.net
    For more instructions on configuring your 3rd-party software, please contact the software manufacturer. If your web accelerator appears to be at the root of the problem, please contact your ISP.

    Thank you for your response. I am curious to know why if iTunes does not
    answer non technical questions, why I received information when I replied to this
    email. Listed below are the previous threads providing technical information.
    Furthermore, if this is email is for billing disputes, I would like to have
    my Mastercard credited $25.87 for a "gift this purchase/tv show" that I
    purchased for my uncle on Christmas Day. I purchased the full first season of Monk.
    I previously sent an email requesting credit on approximately January 2,
    2006, and failed to receive a response. He never received the gift, or any
    instructions about how to download the tv show, and I do not show a credit
    appearing on my credit card. I would like to have credit for services not received.
    Please credit the following card #XXXX
    Thank you.
    Emily

    Thank you for your response. I have tried these methods, AGAIN. None of
    them seem to work. I also contact my ISP, AOL. Nothing they advised me to do
    worked. Has iTunes performed recent upgrades? Just viewing the discussion
    boards, it seems like a lot of people are having problems. Having paid $399
    for
    the 60GB video ipod, I need more than a generic email telling me what to do,
    when I already indicated in previous email that I followed the steps shown in
    the
    support area, which were the same instructions email to me.

    Dear Emily,
    Thank you for contacting the iTunes Music Store. Use the steps in the
    following article to troubleshoot your connection problem.
    I have been unable to connect for more than 24 hours on Windows.
    If you haven't been able to connect to the iTunes Music Store for more than a
    day—and other customers on our discussion boards aren't experiencing similar
    issues—a software or ISP configuration issue may be blocking your access to
    the iTunes Music Store.
    • Your copy of the iTunes application may be out of date.
    • If iTunes is out of date, it will not be able to connect to the
    iTunes Music Store. You can download the latest version of iTunes from our
    website: ?http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    • You installed a third-party anti-virus or personal firewall
    application.
    • You will need to configure your software to allow iTunes to access
    the Music Store. You can contact the software manufacturer if you have
    questions regarding configuration. Click here for more information.
    • You upgraded to Windows XP Service Pack 2.
    • Windows XP Service Pack 2, by default, enables the Windows Firewall.
    As with a third-party firewall, you will need to configure Windows Firewall
    to allow iTunes to access the Music Store. Read this document for more
    information. If you have further questions about configuring the Windows Firewall,
    contact Microsoft's Service Pack 2 hotline at (888) SP2-HELP.
    • You upgraded to a high-speed or wireless Internet connection.
    • A new DSL or cable modem, or even a router, could be the culprit.
    These devices allow your computer to access the Internet at a much higher speed,
    or route your connection to multiple computers. However, they can also expose
    your computer to hackers. To help prevent this, manufacturers of these
    products often install firewalls to prevent hackers and viruses from compromising
    your system. Although this layer of protection is beneficial, there are
    occasions when a device may determine that the iTunes Music Store is a threat to the
    computer. If this is the case, you will need to configure these devices to
    allow iTunes to access the Music Store. Contact your ISP or the device
    manufacturer if you need help configuring your device.
    • You switched to a new ISP.
    • If you didn't install new networking hardware, your ISP may be
    blocking access to the iTunes Music Store. Let your ISP know about this document
    which can help your them configure their servers to allow iTunes Music Store
    traffic through.
    Sincerely,
    The iTunes Music Store team

    The error message I am receiving is "iTunes cound not connect to the Music
    Store. Network connection was refused. Make sure your network settings are
    correct and network connection is active, then try again". I have been unable to
    connect to the music store for at least 3-4 days. I have been using iTunes
    since last October, successfully. I checked all my network connections & they
    are fine. I am able to connect to AOL. I even uninstalled and reinstalled
    iTunes several times, all successfully, but I am still encountering a problem.
    Thank you.
    Emily
    Nice, effective customer service. I'm at my wit's end. I field customer service calls, and answer emails at work, and the general responses from the iTunes response library are ridiculous. Especially, after emailing me twice technical support emails, they tell me they do not handle technical support questions...
    Any help or suggestions as to how I should respond to the next email is helpful...
    I also forgot to mention I have been able to connect to iTunes since October 2005, and have been unable to connect for almost 2 weeks now. And, yes, I have downloaded the latest version of iTunes. I was advised over the phone to upgrade to XP Service Pack 2, but it looks like SP2 has issues. ANd, no, I did not download SP2, because the customer support rep admitted he knew nothing to very little about iTunes.

    Emily,
    thanks for your posting, it just reflects my experience (although I didn't contact the helpdesk, but after what you wrote I think I can skip that part). I am livin in China and buy from the German MS, worked fine until about a week ago when the download of an album stopped just after 5 songs. I have never been able to connect to the shop ever since.
    The interesting thing is, that I get a response from their server in the domain phobos.apple.com (phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/storeFront) which I would interpret that there can't be a problem which they always list (Antivirus, Firewall etc...)
    So will there ever be somebody from Apple who is going to give a better explanation how to solve the problem ? Or are there already too many people buying iPods and music ???
