IPad2 won't connect to Airport WPA2 Personal

I purchased in iPad2 today as a Christmas gift for my wife.
I attempted to set it up because she has problems, and once she has the product in her hands, then I have to direct over her shoulder and that is miserable.
Even more miserable is that I could not get the iPad2 to connect to the Airport network I had set up with WPA2 personal security.
Shoot, the iPad2 didn't even list WPA2 Personal, only WPA2 and I tried that. But it would not let me connect. I tried retyping password and network ID over and over, but it would not work. I could see the network, but I could not connect.
I returned the product because I did not want this headache on Christmas morning. I'd still like the product, but only if it works.
I've read elsewhere on the forums that with the new IOS5 the product does not work with any form of WPA security. For me that is not acceptable.
I tried calling Apple service, but after a while I was disconnected while waiting to talk. That happened four times.
Any ideas.

Thanks for your reply.
At the moment, i use WPA2. Here's more information: I have ATT DSL (not Uverse... just their crappy DSL service - it's all that is available in my area at the moment, and I don't have a cable option.) I'm using the Netgear router that they made me buy from them when I got the service. It's pretty terrible, actually, and has only become worse with time. Up until last week, I had an non-secure but hidden network. Most everything could connect, but I was having some trouble with some devices losing the network and not being able to find it on their own. So I decided to go with a password again. So now all my computers, phones, tablets, gaming systems, etc, are connected to the router using the WPA/WPA2 password, but the apple TVs won't do i
At first, the ATV doesn't ask for a password... just tells me that it can't connect and the password is wrong. Then when I go back, it displays a screen that tells me to select the kind of security my WIFI uses, but the only options available are WEP, WEP Hex and WEP ASCII

My iPad2 won't connect to another iPad2 for FaceTime. It rings, says connecting, then call failed. Also no sound on my FaceTime. Mute off and all settings set for sound.

My ipad2 won't connect to another ipad2. It rings, says connecting, then says call failed. I've connected with this person before. Stopped working recently. And my audio won't work on FaceTime. Mute is off and all settings set for sound.

I've had this issue between 2 iMacs and an iPad2. No solutions yet, and I've tried changing the DNS. Sorry.

ITunes 11.1 won't connect to AirPort Express

Hello,
I just updated iTunes to ver. 11.1.0.126 from the previous version of 11.0.5. Prior to this, everything worked fine, no issues ever with connecting to my airport express from iTunes. Now that I've updated to 11.1 I get the following message when selecting my AirPort express for streaming:
"An error occurred while connecting to the AirPlay Device 'CasaWalck AirPort Express'. The network connection failed"
The AirPort express is a bit older... an 802.11g, running the latest version firmware 6.3 and it's still attatching to my AT&T Uverse wireless home network just fine. Went into the router admin to verify all is well, and it is.
At the end of the day, it seems to be the iTunes update that caused all of this. I should also add that with the iTunes update, I also installed iCoud (which I didn't have installed before) and the latest version of Quicktime.
I'm running
- Windows 7 Home Premium Service Pack 1 on an HP tower.
- AT&T Uverse wireles modem w/WPA2-PSK (AES) encryption
- Netgear WNA1100 USB WiFi modem
- Apple AirPort Express 802.11g w/firmware 6.3
Any help is greatly appreciated. I really want to get my streaming to work again!

Okay, I'm logging this for anyone who might be experiencing the same issue. I kept poking around my system until I found the solution myself.
In researching this issue, I kept coming across folks who found an issue involving their Mac systems. Since I have a Windows 7 platform that didn't do anything for me. Initially I started suspecting an IPv6 compatability issue between iTunes 11.1 and my old airport express. Found nothing fruitful there (including this so you don't waste your time chasing that down). The other common theme coming up with others was their firewall. I came across on thread in particular where if they disabled thier firewall, they got iTunes to connect to their airport express/airplay device again. However, they were stuck with a choice between this working and having firewall protection. I personally just couldn't operate without a firewall. So... I kept poking around and literally stumbled on the solution.
Windows 7:
Start > Control Panel > Windows Firewall > Allow a Program or Feature Through Windows Firewall > Change Settings:
- click to highlight iTunes from the list
- click Remove
- click Allow Another Program...
- Select iTunes from the list and click Add
- Click OK so save your settings.
- Test your connection AirPlay/AirPort Express in iTunes. It should work
- Restart your machine and test to make sure it still works after a reboot. Mine did.
From what I can gather, the previous installation of iTunes logged some sort of profile or entry into the Windows firewall. Once iTunes upated to 11.1, it seems whatever worked for the 11.0.5 install was no longer compatable. By remiving and reinstalling this entry in the firewall, whatever was needed was refreshed and all is well with the world again.
For all the times this community has helped me out, I only hope I can return the favor.

WET610N Won't Connect to Airport Extreme WiFi

Hi all - really strange goings-on.
I have an Airport Extreme base station, configured using WPA2 Personal.
I am trying to setup my WET610N wireless bridge, but it will not connect to the wireless network created by my Airport Extreme.
I use the bridge's web interface to set the password and connect it to my network. My SSID is not broadcast, so I type it in and select WPA2 Personal as the encryption type. I have tried using both the 'AES' and 'AES and TKIP' selections on that security screen to no avail.
I have double-checked that the SSID and passphrase are correct and match my wireless network. I have two cellphones and a Wii that all connect to this wireless network with no problems.
It *looks* like the WET610N is seeing the network, as I see an additional 'wireless client' popup in my Airport base station configuration screen for a few seconds before going away. This is synchronized with the 'wifi' light on the front of the bridge staying on for about 5 seconds straight.
I have tried the reset button and started from scratch. Same result. Any specific configuration that I need to enable on my base station? Other suggestions? Thanks!!

Sorry, thought I answered you - it's on DHCP. It should be automatically getting an IP, and it is. That is how I can connect to the router's web page - 192.168.0.107 (or whatever the IP the device was given).
Do you think I would have better luck if I switched the device to a static IP? Is the subnet mask always 255.255.0.0 when setting to a static IP?

Widows won't connect with Airport

I installed Leopard, along with Windows under Boot Camp. Cannot connect to my base station. It "sees" the base station; however since I am using WEP security; it asks for the password. Is there a way I can "share" the password with the windows side on the computer?

Key phrase in document that you've sent is "If you open the Airport Admin Utility, you need to click a button called Password depending on which version of firmware you are using." - there is no such thing as Airport Admin Utility in Leopard any more. Let me know if you know how to get WEP password in HEX out of Leopard if you know.
As for WPA - it's not supported my Leopard also, there is only WPA2 Personal / Enterprise
I'm really concerned as I can't make Win XP SP2 to connect even to Open Network (Security OFF)
Any ideas how to fix it?

Itunes 7 won't connect to airport express

i installed itunes 7.02 and now my airport express won't connect. I've read many of the discussions and have done all of the ipv6 recommendations etc. but to no avail. Very frustrated! Apple screwed up big time.

Help! ever since i downloaded itunes 7 for windows
(big mistake, as we all know) it won't connect to the
air port express. it sees it, attempts to connect,
but times out every time. anyone have any ideas?
I have the same problem on one AE unit that is more distant from the base but not on another. It also fails now to connect to Olive Musica in my main listening room. With these problems, I wonder whether an update fix can be far off?

Cannot connect anymore to WPA2 Personal after upgrade

Hi everybody,
I'm writing because I cannot access anymore my Wi-Fi WPA2 Personal after I upgraded successfully this morning my Macbook, I bought it at the end of 2008.
The wireless icon on top right shows me the ! (exclamation mark), the IP address is assigned correctly. I tried deleting the network from the preferred connections but it didn't work.
I add the fact wireles connection worked perfectly since today.
Can you help me? Is this a known issue of OS X Maverick?
Thanks in advance!

I post the workaround that solved my problem, thanks again to wifiguru!!

Backup these 2 files:
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/NetworkInterfaces.plist
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/preferences.plist
Then delete these 2 files and reboot. If you upload these 2 files someplace I can take a look if something was wrong in there.
Practically, I made a backup of those files, deleted them with root priviligies and reboot the computer...after that, I found with no work the Wi-Fi connected to my wireless; everything worked fine.
Hope this post helps people with same problem..

Can the IPad connect to a WPA2-Personal Home Network?

My wife just got the IPad for her BDay this month, but we've been unable to connect to our linksys wireless network, having a WPA2 - Personal configuration (which requires an authenication key, never requested during IPad WiFi configuration).
I've read IPad discussions that WPA2 networks can be used, and the General, Settings page shows my network's WiFi SSID. But when tapped the IPad just presents a place for the password -- no key required. It's been tough explaining to my wife (even after simplifying the password, and after updating the firmware for the router) that an authenication key is necessary (i.e. I'm the bad guy).
Can anyone help?

My Linksys had the same problem. Under the router's wireless security, I chose WPA2/ WPA mixed mode. Everything started working then.

Iphone 5 won't connect to airport express?

I have recently bought an iPhone 5. Due to this not fiiting in my Bose sound dock i also purchased an Apple Aiport Express off ebay.
I have been trying to connect my iPhone 5 to my Airport so I can wirelessly play music off my iPhone through my sound dock. Unfortunately though when i go into my wireless settings on my iPhone it does find the airport but won't connect. It says the AirPort Express cannot be set up by this software? i also downloaded AirPort utility App but that doesn't even find the AirPort.
I don't understand this? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Nic

Hi - you will have to supply more info on your network to get some answers - for instance, what kind of modem do you have? - will this Express be the only router? - what generation is the Express?
But if you want to see what you have, try this:
Disable the wireless on your laptop.
Unplug the Express.
Plug an ethernet cable from the WAN port (circle of dots) of the Express to the the ethernet port of the laptop.
Plug in the Express and open the Aiport Utility on the laptop.
You should now see the Express in the left pane of the utility screen - click on the Express and it will tell you what you have - if it asks for a password, the default is "public" - if this doesn't work, it means that the Express was not reset to factory settings - to do this, unplug it and hold in the reset button with a paperclip - plug it in and wait for the light to blink and release the button - when the light begins to blink slowly, it should show as a base station in factory default mode - it will also tell what generation Express you have.
Post back with this infornation and I can try to help you get started - btw I just got a new iPhone and it works great

AirPort Utility won't connect to AirPort for configuration

I was playing around earlier today with port mapping/static IP assignments, configuring my BitTorent client, when my AirPort network started to keep dis/reconnecting at regular intervals. I stopped what I was doing, and decided to reset the APX and start from scratch, and leave things as they were.
*The problem is, AirPort Utility often doesn't recognize the APX at all, and if it does it won't connect within the utility in order to configure the APX.*
This is strange, because after a hard reset, the AirPort icon in the menu bar shows will often connect to the now-generic, out-of-the box name Apple Network f790b07 but STILL AirPort Utility will NOT 'join network' in order to configure the APX.
HELP!

HP pavilion won't connect to airport express

Okay, so my iMac connects just fine to my airport express and to the internet (obviously) but I can't connect my room mates HP pavilion to the same airport, it recognizes that there is the network, and it goes through all the motions of connecting and then says connected, but in the corner it still says that its not connect and won't connect to the internet.
Any ideas?

There is a known issue with PC WiFi chip sets & configuring. It will show connected but not go online.
Only know solution HP covered it after I spent 2 hours with them on the phone, My cost. They said there is a problem with some chipsets. The workaround is to delete all network setting. (ie office or other locations) then configure the Wireless FIRST. If it is not the first network to be configured it will show your connected but not log on. Once the Wifi is the first connection it will work fine. Even at other wifi locations.
Only cost us 2 hours, plus charges before the A&^$#^hole at HP bothered to ask if we had other network settings. He said it's the best solution, but won't say why it was not the first thing he went over. I think HP owns Phone company stock!

G4 won't connect to Airport!

All of a sudden my G4 (seen below) won't connect to my airport network. Everything has worked fine for over a year now, until yesterday.
I took the G4 with me out of town over the weekend, came back on Sunday and hooked it all back up and jumped on the network. I installed MySync to sync up a MacBook and the G4. I put the G4 to sleep, went in the other room and downloaded the 10.4.6 update on a MacBook. The G4 was asleep until I got home from work Monday evening. When I tried to get on the network, it took a few hours of restarting, shutting down, and trying trying and trying. No idea how I finally got it. It just worked.
I put it to sleep and it sleep until Tuesday evening when the same trouble arises. If I click on the airpot icon repeatedly every 5 seconds or so, I see the three networks in my building, but they everytime I click on the airport icon, there is a different combination of the three. One time I get A and B, one time I get A, B, and C; one time I get A, and C; then B and C. This keeps going. If I try to connect to my network, I get "there was an rror joining the network."
While I was on brefly on Monday, I downloaded the 10.4.6 update, and two airport updates that I had been neclecting, b/c they didn't seem to apply and everything was working fine. since it stopped, I decided to download them.
The MacBook can get on the network fine, and there is a PC on the network fine.
Anyone have any thoughts on this?
Thanks a TON!

NOTE: I came back a couple hours after my original post, and was able to connect without any problems, but I'm not sure what this means.
Thanks!

Boot Camp: Windows won't connect to AirPort router

I got the new AirPort router from Apple in March and since then it's been working perfectly with my Macs as well as on Windows using Boot Camp.
A few days ago, I switched my AirPort setting to be Wireless-N ONLY so I could see some speed improvement on my Mac. The next time I used Windows, it would not connect to the network, so I then went back to my AirPort settings and switched it back to 802.11 G and N compatible. But both my Windows computers still won't connect.
Please help me set up the correct options. Thanks.

I just saw your post - I posted the same thing a little after you did. Did you figure out the problem? I haven't gotten any answers yet to my post.

IPad2 won't reconnect to network after Personal Hotspot

I have taught my parents-in-law how to use their iPhone Personal Hotspot to conect their iPad to the internet when they are out of the house, but when they get home, the iPad wn't reconnect to the home wireless network.
I thought that, like my iPhone and MBP, it would find the network that it has previously connected to and auto-connect. Does using Personal Hotspot over-ride something that has to be manually reset every time? What am I missing here?

Not related. Installing Lion doesn't make any changes to a wireless router and/or wireless network the computer is connected to that Lion is installed on.
Try resetting the router. Disconnect all computers and devices connected to your wireless network. Unplug the wireless router from its power source to turn it off. Do the same with the modem the wireless router is connected to. Wait a few minutes followed by plugging your modem back in and allow the modem to completely reset before plugging your wireless router back in to power it back on allowing it to completely reset with a new connection with the modem. Follow this by reconnecting every computer and device to your wireless network.
