    BOB we need you urgently
    Perhaps Bob will see this thread, he is the professor in these cases.
    You do not use a WEP password but wpa/wpa2 on router and equipment.
    All equipment connects to WiFi, but for your iPad.
    Even with all other equipment WiFi off, you cannot connect your iPad.
    Your iPad connects to other WiFi nets correctly.
    All resets etc done on iPad and Router.
    Still I am not sure it is your router for sure, frustrating...
    I want to test 2 other things:
    1. in your iPad, set everything OFF in Settings/Cellular, turn off/then/on your WiFi, and see whether it will still not connect...
    2. If that does not do it: disconnect the router as well as the modem from the power, for 15 seconds, then reconnect the modem, let it fully start, then reconnect the routet let it fully start, turn of your WiFi in iPad, then on, and see whether it will connect.

    Are you running Leopard on your Mac, Laurie?
    If so, try instead updating to iTunes 10.6.3.25. (That supports earlier models of iPhones running iOS 6, even though it can't run the new iPhone 5s.)
    A .dmg installer for iTunes version 10.6.3.25 for Mac OS can be found at the following download page on the Apple website:
    iTunes 10.6.3

    Make sure Sync Apps is checked on the Apps tab of your iTunes sync settings and that all the apps are checked that you want on your phone.  Also be sure that your computer is authorized for all Apple IDs used to purchase your apps (and other media) in Store>Authorize this Computer.

  • Cant connect my iphone to macbook air via usb

    Try resetting your NVRAM
    Shut down your Mac.
    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 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.

  • I cant connect my iphone to mac

    i tried to connect my iphone to mac and xp, but it only charges the phone,,,
    the iphone doesnt appear in the itunes nor in any other software..
    please help.
    i tried a few solutions such as reseting my iphone, reseting the computer, charging the phone, checking my mac/pc requirements.. nothing helped.
    why can i charge the phone , but when i come to use it on the mac/pc it wont connect?

    The only thing that is required to charge an iPhone when connected to a computer is a USB port along with the computer being powered on.

  • Iphone 4 cant connect to itunes or app store! Help!

    my iphone 4 has not been able to connect to itunes or the app store since latest upgrade 4.2.1... a msg pops up sometimes and says cant connect to itunes... other times it shows a window that says cant find itunes on your computer (which is odd cause its a phone!) and has a button to download itunes--what?....... HELP!

    to be honest these are the solutions that may or may not work..
    first thing I would try is rebooting the phone by holding the sleep/wake button and home button for 15 seconds until you see the white apple logo
    if that doesn't work I would restore from backup and if that doesn't work I would restore as new if all else fails take it to your closest apple store they may replace the phone for a working one.

  • HELP, I cant connect my iphone to my notebook!!

    I just got my iphone and activated it for a few hours. Later on the day I tried to connect my iphone with my notebook and the notebook went to BLUE SCREEN. I'd never have this problem with my notebook before. When I went to the "genius bar" for help they just showed me that my iphone is fine the problem is my notebook and i might have to reinstall window. That's not helpful ,is it??!!
    p.s.i have tried reinstall itune, quicktime, it doesnt help.

    The Windows BSOD (Blue Screen of Death) is difficult to debug. You need the information on the screen to try to identify the problem, but it usually disappears before you can take enough notes. There are programs that will analyze it after the fact, but the output won't be meaningful to you. So lets try to ignore that.
    Don't reinstall Windows; that's generally bad advice, and I'm disappointed that Apple suggested it. If you reinstall Windows usually you also have to reinstall all of your applications. While occasionally this is necessary, the conditions when it is are very rare (mostly after a virus infection).
    As a first step I would remove iTunes and the Apple Mobile Device Support programs. You do this from the Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs. Remove iTunes first, DO NOT reboot when prompted. Then remove Apple Mobile Device Support and reboot. It's important sometimes to remove iTunes before reinstalling it.
    Download the latest version of iTunes from http://www.apple.com/itunes/ and install it and try to sync your iPhone again. Be sure your iPhone connects directly to a USB 2 port on the computer and not through a hub or USB 1.1 port.
    If you get another BSOD you can try using System Restore to set the computer back to the state it was in before you installed iTunes. System Restore is in the Accessories/System Tools menu. If that doesn't work (it may not because iTunes installs a driver, which cannot be replaced while Windows is running). You can boot to Safe mode to do the restore, which has a better chance of working (see your computer's documentation on how to do this).
    Let us know how it works out; if you still have problems there are still other options to try.
