IPhone 4 connected to work's wifi, but won't connect to Internet
Hi there
We have multiple iPhones and an iPad at work, and I'm having a **** of a problem betting them to use the work's wifi connection. We have a Netgear DG834G Wireless Router, which is a 108g spec wireless. The wired network uses static IP addresses (for all the macs and PCs we have here), but the wireless appears to use DHPC (as the devices are allotted an IP address beginning with 169) and WPK-PSK security. The settings on the server suggest that the DHCP addresses are supplied by the ISP. The MAC addresses of the iPhones and iPad have been added to the router's 'allowed' list. The iPhones and iPad work fine on other wireless networks, suggesting an issue with either static IP systems, or WPK-PSK security.
All the devices 'see' the wireless network, and appear to connect to it fine, but when I look at the displayed network icon, it is still using GPRS and not Wifi (we work out in the back of beyond, so no 3G).
Any ideas?
Hi Laurence
Thanks for your help. The info that the IP address starting 169 were self assigned led me to re-look at the setting on the router. The DCHP wasn't set up properly, an now everything works as it should. Thanks!

MY APPLE TV SHOWS THAT iT IS CONNECTED TO MY WIFI, BUT CAN NOT ACCESS THE INTERNET
my apple tv found my wifi, but can not access the internet??
I have been on the phone with Apple, done all of the trouble shooting they have recomended. When I attempt to connect it to the internet I get a message reading "your apple tv is connected to your wi-fi but cannot connect to the internet. I have plugged the modem right into the apple tv and it still won't work. This is the second device I've used. (apple gave me a new one after the first didn't work). I just thought there might be someone out there who had the same issue and knows how to resolve it.

just hooked up airport extreme. works on mac but won't allow phone or iPad on. how do i get them to connect?
How old are the various devices? It could be possible for you to have configured a very new AirPort Extreme in a way that older iPhones and iPads could not access. For example, could you have set up the Extreme to use only 801.11n and 5GHz?

Drives stopped mounting with FW800, but FW400 is OK. Worked OK before, but won't now. Tried new cables, zapping pram, Disk Repair Utility. Any suggestions? Thanks.
If your external drive does not have an independent power supply, you may wish to consider a couple of lower-cost options before tossing the drive. Bus-powered drives have no external power source and must get all their power from the computer. They can exceed the computer's USB energy budget.
Cheapest option:
1 Meter USB 2.0 A to 5 Pin Mini B Cable - Auxiliary USB "Y" Power Design for external hard drives.
This gets power from two of the computers USB porst sna can provide enough power to wake up an under-performaing bus-powered drive.
If you don't have enough ports to use this, try the next cheapest option:
Newer Technology 7 Port Hi-Speed USB 2.0 Hub with Power Adapter for Mac & PC
Such a hub has a an independent power supply to make up for wahat the comptuer fails to provide. -
My external hard drive works on PC but won't even show up on my mac?
My external hard drive works on pc but won't even show up on my mac? What can I do?
If it is in the wrong format it must probably still show up though, if your mac does detect it, go to disk utilities> choose the device from the left hand side > go to the "erase" tab and change format to "Mac OS extended (Journaled) then hit "erase".
IMPRTANT! : this will erase ALL of the files on your external hard drive
If this dosent work, make sure your external hard drive's USB port is compatibe with both USB 2.0 and 3.0 and also make sure your mac USB socket isnt damaged either.
Hope this helped -
IPhone connects to WiFi but won't work.
Ever since I got my iPhone 4, it connects to the WiFi but it won't do things using WiFi so I usually end up using 3G. But this only happens at my house. I works perfectly on the bus and at school. Same thing happens to my sister's iPhone 4 and recently we had guests over and I connected one of them to the WiFi and she had the same problem (iPhone 4) My dad has an iPhone 5 and I'm pretty sure it works perfectly for him. Please help. I've tried everything. Forgetting the network, resetting my phone, restoring my phone. Any suggestions please?
Seems to be a problem with your WiFi router.
If your iPhone can not access the internet using WiFi, due to low signal strength, low internet speed, router overload, or perhaps a wrong router setting (child safety lock, firewall?), it automatically accesses the internet using 3G.
You just have to find the error...
Good luck ;-) -

Exchange 2010 - iPhone will work in Wifi but not ATT 3g
Hello Everyone,
This is my first time posting, but I'm desparate!
I have an Exchange 2010 environment at our CoLo (not on site). I can connect to it on my iPhone 4 on ANY wifi network (home, work, etc), but if I connect to it via ATT 3g - no dice. I'm pretty sure it's a DNS issue, but there's no way for me to see what ATT DNS servers are returning. Anyone else have this problem? Does anyone know how long ATT caches DNS queries? Thanks in advance!
EDIT: It's totally DNS. I cannot hit OWA in safari either while on ATT, but again it works on WIFI everywhere. I setup DNS a little less than 24 hours ago, so I'm surprised that ATT is still having issues with it... Now I wonder if I can call ATT and see if they can flush the cached queries >.<EDIT 2: Of course ATT was useless. Tried to transfer me away from them (to Apple and even Microsoft lol). I guess it's just a waiting game to see if their DNS servers get with the program...

My Iphone 4s can not scan for wifi signals. My phone was jailbroken and it was working fine until one day, my phone began to have problems searching for wifi signals. It connected and took longer to do so, however the next day it didnt pick up any wifi what so ever. I tap settings>wifi>on> and its an endless search in places where there is wifi.I saddly lost my hard drive where i kept a back up for my iphone, so restoring it from a back up wont do. I plugged it in on another
computer which i had to set restore as a new phone. I did and i still hasn't worked, i am open to suggestions and the following i am aware of:
It hasnt been dropped
condensation/humidity (which i dont want it to be because it has been raining a lot and its never been wet)
Thank you in advance!- Reset the iPod. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at

I really need help, my ipod shows to connect to the WiFi but then it will not let me use the interent it says no connection but according to my screen i have WiFi connection, i am very confused an i would really appriciate it if someone could help me sort out this problem so i can start using my iPod for work again.
Even though the iPod shows as been connected, it might not have actually received a valid IP address via DHCP from your Wi-Fi access point or router. Head to Settings -> Wi-Fi and tap the > next to the network you are connected. If 169.xxx.xxx.xxx is listed for an IP Address, then your iPod did not receive a valid IP address. To correct this you can reboot your router by unplugging it from power for about 30 seconds.
It wouldn't hurt to also reset your iPod. To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.

IPhone 4s connected to home wifi but won't allow connection to internet etc...
We recently received a new modem from the cable/internet company and although the iPhones indicate they are connected to home wifi they won't connect to facebook, yahoo, google, update email. Basically we are using our data in our home with a working internet. The computers are working fine. I have spent a few hours with the cable company and the phone company trying to solve this issue. They both say it is an issue with the other party....we have not update to the new OS yet... could this be a setting issue within the phone not responding to the new modem? Should we try updating the phones OS?
my kids are running through their data...any advice would be helpful. I have already had to pay for the unsuccessful help of the cable company.Hello there, Mouse1892.
