I try to connect to my router but the join button isn't available?
I am horrible at computers!! I had someone who knows about computer fix my ipad so I could message from it. In order to fix it he had to delete my account and then start again. I lost my settings and some of my pictures unfortunaley but worst of all I can't reconnect to my router at home. I try to connect and put my password in but the join button isn't available??
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 drooping 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

https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4010130
Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
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.
Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim

Every time I plug in my iPhone to my computer it opens up to my PC instead of iTunes. When I try to connect my phone to iTunes the device button doesn't appear. What do I do?
It is opening up your computer generally because there are photos in the camera roll to prompt you to import them to the computer as you would a digital camera.
To correct the issue with the iPhone not being recognized in iTunes, see this support document. http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538 -
Got to the end of these instructions for transferring library to new computer. Can see my library via home sharing but the import button is not active. How do I continue?
I'm sorry to be so incredibly dense. The article to which you linked says:
"If the computer is already authorized, the item plays. If the computer has not yet been authorized, iTunes asks you to enter the Apple ID and password you used to purchase the song."
I can play songs from my husband's library. I can't drag them into my library.
If deauthorizing/authorizing is the solution, who needs to do what? We've got three computers and two iTunes accounts. -
iPhone 4 an my dads 3G works fine with the wifi. Please, any ideas?
Ran into that once before and the solution was to change the wi-fi router password to at least 8 characters, then your Join button should work.

Actually, all my details are in that looong question I asked. ; )
I am ready to go back to 3.6 or whatever version I had because 4 and 5 have had these issues. I tried 4 before but now that I have 5 and the same issue, I remember that I saw this before.
As I was typing this note, I looked up and saw the back button is actually working on this site. Weird.
Also, there isn't a button next to the back and forward so I can see my history. Where is that, now? Sometimes, I want to go back 3 or 4 pages at once without loading each page the slow way. Awww, what am I saying? You all know what I mean. :\

I just purchased an Apple TV. I have a pc running windows 7. It is connected to a router and the router is connected to a wireless router. I connect my iPhone, iPad and apple tv to wireless network but do not know how to put the pc on the wifi network so the Apple TV can do home share.
I don't mean to be facetious but sometimes the simplest things are overlooked. To connect to your library you have to have the computer where the iTunes library is located running and with iTunes open. It also needs to be on the same network. My network is dual band and works with either stream but a friend of mine does not. He has to set the computer and the Apple TV to the same band. Hope this helps.

I have an old PowerPC running 10.4.11 and a Macbook Pro running 10.6.7 sitting side by side. Both are using AirPort to connect to the internet wirelessly to the same wireless router. The old Mac connects with full bars but the MBP struggles with only 2 bars. Pls help, thanks!
BDAqua,
Thanks for the response.
Apple has used the term "Digital Audio" to identify this machine. System Profiler has the following information:
Machine Name: Power Mac G4
Machine Model: PowerMac3,5
CPU Type: PowerPC G4 (2.1)
Number Of CPUs: 1
CPU Speed: 800 MHz
L2 Cache (per CPU): 256 KB
Memory: 768 MB
Bus Speed: 133 MHz
Boot ROM Version: 4.3.3f2
Serial Number: XBxxxxxMK9
Sales Order Number:
Yes, I could connect them by ethernet if all I wanted to do was transfer files, but I would like to network them so I could use wireless internet. The machines are not always so close together, I did that to simplify the testing. With the very slow transfer speeds I am reluctant to move ahead with the internet step.

HT204400 My apple tv says that it's connected to my router, but it's not connected to the internet
I just got the apple tv and have been trying to connect it up. When I select my wi-fi network it shows that it's connecting, but then it comes back and tells me it's connected to my router, but not connected to the internet (my PC).
Your router should connected to a modem and the ATV would be accessing your wifi network via router in order to connect to the internet.
Can you please clarify the issue? -
My iphone is no longer working I have black screen with a picture of the itunes logo and a USB cable. When I try to connect my iphone to itunes the device is not detected, can anyone help me? I desperatley need my phone back
I have had a 3GS for 2+ years. After upgrading to IOS 4 (now 4.3.5) I began having problems. In the past week, my screen went to the itunes logo and USB cable twice -- unprovoked -- just found it sitting there like that! I connected to itunes and it did restore from a backup but it is a major inconvenience. I am also searching for answers, but better back-up regularly!

my ipod got disabled and it says to connect it to itunes but the computer i use got reset so it lost all the memory of itunes and i re downloaded it and it says it cant connect my ipod to itunes because i need to put the pass code in on the ipod but it wont let me because its disable some one help me out.
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store -
I want to synch my address book to my I-Pad using the usb connection to my computer, but the IPad doesn't show up on the desk top or in I-Tunes. Any suggestions?
Try again to install the latest version of iTunes; http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Otherwise when your iPad is connected with your computer and iTunes open try several times; Keep the Powerbutton and the Homebutton pressed at the same time until you see the Apple logo on your iPad screen. -
I just bought an Apple TV and I'm trying to connect airplay but the icon does not appear! My iPhone and Apple TV are on the same wifi connection but the airplay button does not apper? The same thing with my iPad mini
Try restarting all devices including portable iOS ones and your router.
Check Airplay is not disabled in AppleTVs settings.

We have had to change to a new router but the Macbook Pro still reverts to the old one. How can we lose this and make the new router the default?
Go to "Network" under system preferences and choose "advanced"
On the Wi-Fi tab you can sort the sequence of the preferred connections.
Then just move your new router to the top of the list. -

My labtop is conncted wirelessly through my router but the internet wont open
My labtop is conncted wirelessly through my router but the internet wont open iv been trouble shooting it and it tells me something about th primary dns or something yet i have another computer which i connected to the same network and it has no problems and goes to the internet fine
First of all when you computer shows you that you are connected to your Wireless Network, first thing which you need to check, whats the IP address you are getting it on your Computer. Click on Start - Run - CMD and click Ok and in the Command Prompt type "ipconfig" and hit enter and check the IP address. It should be in your Router Range i.e (192.168.1.xxx) if not might be your computer is having static Ip, thats the reason you are not able to go online. So you need to remove the Static IP from your computer.
Click on the Start button >>> Settings >>> Control Panel >>>Network Connections- Right click on the icon for Local area connection and go to properties- On the 'General' tab select 'Internet Protocol TCP/IP' and click on the properties button- If its set to 'Use the following IP address' then you need to change it to "Obtain and IP address Automaticaly" and click Ok and Close.
Now check if you are Online.
