I have a refurbished iBook running OS-10 that will not connect to my home century link wifi modem
I have a refurbished iBook that is considered "obsolete" to Apple tech support, that gives me an "error" message when I try to sign onto my home Century Link wifi. I have gone through several rounds of tech support with CL, to no avail. I then contacted Apple TS and was told that, since my unit was considered obsolete, I should try to get help through a support forum. That's what I'm doing. I was told by CL tech support that my wifi modem connects using WPA/WPA2 encryption. When I try to connect with my iBook it asks for my password and gives me several options in a drop-down box under "password": 40-bit hex, 40-bit ASCI, 128-bit hex, 128-bit ASCI and LEAP. I have no clue what all this means. Does anyone have any ideas?
Unfortunately, You need OS X 10.3.3 ( Much prefer 10.3.9) or later to be able to connect to a WPA/WPA 2 network. With OS X 10.2, Your only options are WEP or wired ethernet.

my clamshell ibook running on ios 9 will not connect to the internet with airport i typed in the right passwords and it says an error occured and even if i type the right password it says it is wrong i need help.
Most likely your router uses a wireless standard that is too new for the AirPort card in your iBook to communicate with.

I have a Macbook and an external display that will not connect.
I bought a Mini DisplayPort to VGA adaptor from Apple but the Detect Displays under system set up does not recognize my external display. The Mini Display port doesn't fit into the port on my Macbook with the Display printed above it but into "Y" port. The picture on the package for the adaptor matches the ends of the adaptor, but they don't seem to fit where they should.
Is that the issue or is there something else?Hardware Overview:
Model Name: MacBook
Model Identifier: MacBook4,1
Thank you. I didn't know where to look for that information. -

My iPhone 4s will not connect with my home WiFi network. I have ios6 on my iPhone. The connection was working perfectly before I updated my IMac and my MacBook Pro to ios 10.8.2. I have had ios6 since I purchased the phone a couple of months ago. It searches for a network and finds them, but when it asks for my password, it will not accept the password. Have never had this happen before.
Hello krosebear,

I have a Iphone 4 gsm (8f190) and it will not connect to itunes and when i put it in recovery itunes will not work. It won't show up when plugged into the computer. Only charges when plugged in the wall or a car charger. I've tried everything imaginable but I can't get the phone to register in iTunes at all.. The phone won't even reset.. when i try and reset EVERYTHING on the phone the apple logo with the progress bar starts to come up but the progress never moves.. PLEASE help me.. I'm at my wits end with this phone and I'm ready to just trash it.

Warning to iPhone users. Do not start the update of the iPhone software using iTunes.
Nonsense, and very misleading advice. I've updated iPhone 3G, 3Gs,and 4 through itunes many times, never had a problem once, not with one single update in nearly 5 years of iPhones. Of course, I've never jailbroken my phones either. Hack your phone and have update problems? I've got news for you, the problems are not a result of iTunes or Apple's updates. -

Dude you have a jailbroken phone as stated in your first post, no need to do a second post.
As per the forum term of service you can't get help here. Use google.
that's the downfall of jailbreaking your phone. -

Does the iPod see the network?
Have you tried other networks?

I am trying to clear files from my computer. I have a bunch of .m4v protected files that will not delete. They are lectures from college that I do not need anymore and would like to delete them to make room on my computer. I have looked at the help sites and they seem to give directions to change files that people are saving in the future and not regarding past files. I am unable to change anything about the file including the name, so I can not change these past files from .m4v to something else which is deletable such as .mp4 etc. Any help would be much appreciated!!!!
Well, most of what we can tell you is already stated in the message you are getting. A phone can only sync with one library at a time. You have apparently synced your phone with a different iTunes library in the past, or changes have been made to this library so the phone no longer recognizes it as the library with which it was synced. To know which you will have to provide the information.
If you bought them using the AppleID you use with this phone it may simply be easier to re-download them directly to the phone rather than sync them, though you will want to resolve that issue at some point.

I have just updated the i06 software for my iPad and it will not connect to my home wifi network - all my other devices are able to connect to my wifi network.
I have attempted all troubleshooting actions suggested and nothing has worked. I have restored my iPad network and factory settings - Please help - this is frustrating meyou have to set up your router to solve th problem. first find and write down the ipad mac address.
then log on to your router using your laptop or any device that can connect to router at 192.168.0.1 in your web browser. please check out my posting about how to resolve the wifi connection problem.
i think the ios6 update has reset the networking but if you set up the router then you should not have the same problem any more. -
I have a Mac OS 10.6.7 that will not activate the scanner portion of an HP C7280 All in One - prints fine - but won't activate scanner.
I have the same problem with an HP Scanjet 8250 and my Epson Stylus NX400. I have reloaded allegedly updated drivers. I have researched using SANE. Neither scanner wants to work since the OS X10.6 update. I have found very little out there about this problem.
Can anyone help me make these bricks work? Really would like a solution that won't cost me hundreds to replace the equipment. Thanks so much. -

My new Iphone will not connect to my home wi-fi, unless I am standing beside the router. Why is this and how do I fix it? I have previously connected it to another hub before trying to connect to my home wi-fi. Would this of had an effect?
If you have connected to other wi-fi successfully, then your wi-fi should be working. Try power cycling the router. Disconnect it from power for about 30 seconds and then restart it. After it has come back, try connecting again.
