HT204409 i'm receiving a message for unable to join the network when entering in the wifi password

the message I'm receiving on the Ipad mini when entering the home network password is: Unable to join the network!!!

If you are having WiFi problems it is necessary to isolate whether the problem is with your network or your iPad. Note: Do NOT consider your network to be blameless if some other devices can connect to it.
First, test your iPad on some other networks: a friends, Starbucks, Barnes & Noble, etc.
If it works well there then the problem is probably with your network. Try restarting your WiFi router by removing power for 30 seconds. If that does not help check for a firmware update for your router. If none exists which corrects the problem consider replacing the router.
If your iPad does not function well on other networks it possibly has a hardware problem. Contact Apple Support or visit an Apple store for evaluation. They can provide a replacement if your iPad is bad.
If you need more help please give the make, model, and version of your WiFi router and how you have it configured.

Keep getting error message about Dynamically-related files when trying to view in "Live" mode

I'm very new to all of this, but I have been following Adobe tutorials to try and get everything working (Setting up a PHP development environment for Dreamweaver | Adobe Developer Connection) . The database connection test in this section goes through fine, but then when I go to view the final step, viewing comments.php in "Live View," I get an error across the top. I have played with it a bit, so the error message changes somewhat, but basically it tells me that I have dynamically-related files that can't be loaded. Currently, it is because they can't be resolved, previously, it was because they could not be discovered. (I tried the "Discover" option which failed, after which I resorted to the "Setup" option, in which I changed my root folder from htcdocs to htcsdocs/kitchengallery — where I had all my PHP and site files — and tried again to no avail. So then I changed the settings in MAMP to correspond with the change from htcdocs to htcdocs/kitchengallery. Still no luck).
I am using Dreamweaver CS6.
I'm not sure what information someone might need to help me dig deeper into this issue, but I'm all ears!

Usually this is caused when antivirus "Grabs" the drive to scan it in the background, and/or windows itself "Grabs" the drive for indexing and things. It also happens if you play a song off the ipod thru iTUnes, then stop it.
Usually rebooting will force it to let go

sparkyabcd,
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I see you are receiving error 16 when attempting to update your iPhone 5c. Here are the troubleshooting steps for this specific error.
Check for hardware issues

These errors mean that your device or computer may have a hardware issue that's preventing the update or restore from completing.
Check that your security software and settings aren't preventing your device from communicating with the Apple update server.
Then try to restore your iOS device two more times while connected with a cable, computer, and network you know are good.
Confirm that your security software and settings are allowing communication between your device and update servers.
If you still see the error message when you update or restore, contact Apple support.

Internet Sharing - "Unable to join the network" error

Hi,
I have recently enabled internet sharing from my iMac to provide internet access for my iPad. My iMac has a working ethernet connection and I successfully set up the internet sharing (shared via Wi-Fi) so that the network is recognised by my iPad. However, when I attempt to connect to the network from the iPad I get the error, "Unable to join the network <name-of-my-imac>". To make things really simple, I disabled the security for the network so that no passoword is required. Still the iPad won't connect. Everything seems to be alright from the iMac's end, except that my PC laptop also has difficulty gaining internet access through the network. It will connect, but states "no internet connection".
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Not a lot of support seems to be avaible for this topic.
I am running OS X 10.8.2 on the iMac and iOS 6.1.3 on the iPad.

Look at iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
Additional things to try.
Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.

Unable to Join the network ...

I've seen similar posts with the same title but none of these solutions work for me. The problem is that I can not connect to my home Wi-Fi network. Following are the details:
- I have a new iPod Touch with OS 2.2.1
- My wireless router is an Airport Extreme running 7.4.2
- My wireless security is WPA2 Personal
- I have no problem connecting other devices such as Mac laptops and desktops so I know the correct password and the usual settings
- I have also been able to connect my Touch to another wireless network with WPA2 security! This leaves me to believe there must be some incompatible setting on my Airport Extreme.
- I have gone through the various trouble-shooting steps on Apple's support site, to no avail. I have reset both the Touch and the Airport many times
- The Touch can see my network but when I enter the (correct) password I get the error "Unable to Join the Network ..."
Any help would be appreciated! I can certainly take my Touch to my local genius bar, but that won't help if the problem is with my Apple wireless router.

If you can see your network, then you are at least not making the same mistake as many AE users - leaving the router broadcasting in N mode only.
Are you using anything like MAC address filtering on your network? Is DHCP on? The easiest thing you can try is a) reset the touch network settings; b) log back into your network using Settings > WiFi > Other network and re-entering your network name (case sensitive), security, and password (also case sensitive).
Try that and let us know what happens.

WI-Fi problem IPhone 3G (Unable to join the network XY)

Hi, I bought a 3G Iphone 8Gb, It came with firmware 2.2 ...
When I try to access Wi-Fi I got this error : "Unable to join the network XY"
I updated to 2.2.1 and the error continues...
Tried to restore network settings, and nothing...
ps.: My friend with other Iphone 3G can access the same Wi-Fi network...
Help?

It may be that the battery is the issue. I am having the same problems - unable to log in to my WIFI at home, which I have never had an issue with until yesterday, when I started getting the "Unable to access XXX network".
I have tried everything including full iphone restore and router factory restore, but nothing. I did note that after having the phone switched off overnight, I was able to access my wireless network for about fifteen minutes then it just dropped the connection and now I am back to no access whatsoever.
Take a read here:

It is one of many internet postings on this issue and would make sense of the posting above mine..
I'm going to try reverting to 2.2.0 - people such as Leo Laporte on Macbreak Weekly have been complaining of battery issues since upgrading to 2.2.1

Iphone3g 2.01 - wlan: unable to join the network "xyz" with netgear dg834n

i m not able to connect to my netgear dg834n with my new iphone.
every time i´m trying it i get this error:
unable to join the network "xyz"
tests i did:
- restart of iphone
- reboot of iphone
- switching of security (and mac address control) on netgear
- tryout of all wlan security combinations on netgear
- turned netgear off and tried again
- dhcp and manal settings on iphone for tcp/ip (netgear has dhcp enabled)
i m using the newest available firmware for dg834n
any help ?

Add me to the list. . .and it happened right after the upgrade to 4.2.1. . .
Coincidence or just just a factor of wear and tear. I've tried 3 calls to Apple and they say the phone needs to be replaced.
A bunch of youTube videos watched and instructions followed to no avail.
It seems that the wireless portion of the circuit board connection is prone to cracking in the iPhone. I'm finding references to this gremlin dating all the way back to 2008. I'm wondering if there is a connection with high swings in temperature of surroundings. One clue to whether cracking exists on Circuit board connections is to pop your phone into a freezer for about 10 minutes and see if this permanently or temporarily allows the phone to be able to connect. . .
The only successful fix I've seen is reflowing the Circuit board by putting it in the oven but that takes a couple of shots of good vodka before seriously trying that. . .There are plenty of Google links on both the preparation and the fix. . .8^]

Try power-cycling your wireless router (unplg for 30 seconds, plug back in). Here's a longer list of troubleshooting steps: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398.

im on pay as you go.. still trying to set up wifi to my home network.. im putting in the password (sky broadband) and i keep getting the message
Unable to join the network...
driving me crazy now - please help !

Other possibilities:
Your router firmware is out of date. Check the manufacturer's website for an update
You have MAC (Media Access Control) filtering enabled on the router, that restricts access to "known" devices and the new iPhone is not on the table of known devices
Your router has a setting limiting the number of simultaneous allowed devices
Your routers SSID ("name") is still the default (e.g., LINKSYS, DLINK, NETGEAR, etc). Your phone has encountered other routers with the same name as you have traveled, and the phone is confused as to which router is the real one. If your router's name is still the default you should change it.
