IPhone 4 (ios 4.0.1) won't "remember" wifi networks

It makes me log into my home wifi network every hour or so. It's like it loses the connection, then "Forgets" about the network.
I have to go into settings->wifi, select my network, then put the password in all over again.
Anyone else see this?

I was having this problem too recently with my new Clear Spot device. When I'd have security on, (WPA) I would always have to enter the password and it would not remember it for whatever reason. At my home network, and my mom's place, it would remember. I did the reset network settings as you guys suggested and it appears to be working now. Will test again tomorrow at work where I use my iPhone to control all my slideshows with the Clear Spot at my router... Thanks!

IMac 21.5-inch Won't Remember WIFI Networks

Hello. my not-even-1 old iMac 21.5 inch form may 2011 has another problem. It just started happening today. I turned on my iMac and started to use safari, when it said I wasn't connected to the internet. I looked up ath the top-right corner and none of the WiFI bars were filled. I put it back on my router and countinued on. I turned it off a little later, and came back and it did the same thing. I was starting to get concerned, so I reconnected and restated my iMac. It did it again. I read that repairning disc permissions is the best way to fix it. I tried it, but it did not work. Is my iMac broken? Also, it is using a 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5 and is running Mac OS X Version 10.7.4.

My troubleshooting goes:
1) reboot
2) go to activity monitor in utilities and see what processes are running, there may be a surprise there
3) look for the last several things I put on my computer to see if there is a conflict. I once downloaded something that had me going for hours, as the application downloaded shouldn't have messed things up, but it did.
Check that something like the memory isn't loose, go into "about my mac" and make sure everything checks out.
I have had iMacs for over ten years, and one thing I have learned is to trust my computer. All problems were software problems that I caused myself.
Well, if you have Applecare, they can usually spot the problem, though the process takes some time. But I am not an expert, just someone who has had iMacs for a long time.

TS1398 My iPhone 5s can no longer use Internet on a wifi network. I've reset everything, how can I roll back to iOS 7?

i Was considerinf buying a macbook pro, but am reconsidering spending such an amount of money on a company that can screw up such a basic function. I mean you can have your iOS 8 back if this is what it means, I don't want to use your health Kit app.

You cannot 'roll back' your iOS. That's never been supported or allowed by Apple (with only one exception).
Use this article: iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections - Apple
It's not the iOS. It may be a setting on your iPhone or the wi-fi network, or a hardware issue. But it's not the iOS. If it was, then everyone's iPhone 5S using the same iOS would not be working, and that's not the case.
Troubleshoot your issue.

HT4623 i just updated my ipad to ios 8 but i cant connect to wifi network..its says my password is incorrect although i know my password is correct as successfully updated 2 iphones and connected to same wifi network

i just updated my ipad to ios 8 but i cant connect to wifi network..its says my password is incorrect although i know my password is correct as successfully updated 2 iphones and connected to same wifi network

I had the same problem. I reset my network settings as iOS 8 on my iPad 3 seemed a bit slow. When I tried to reconnect to the wifi the correct password was not accepted immediately.
after retrying several times it did manage to join the network. The only observation I had was that I had a weak signal and an iPhone next to me at the time.
make sure you are close to the wifi signal away from any other wifi devices.

TS1398 I have an Iphone 5 and it will not connect to any WIFI networks - I have tried following the steps above (including reseting network settings) but it just says 'incorrect password' every time. How can I resolve this?

you have definitely tried the correct steps, all you would need to do now is a back up & restore to factory settings. If after that the issue remains then you would most likely need a replacement unit.

IPhone 4 iOS 7 lock screen won't automatically shut off after receiving a message

whenever i get a message on my iphone 4 (ios 7) the lock screen does not automatically shut off. it just stays on until i manually turn it off and it drains my battery completely! how do i fix this? it's really annoying.
i have auto-lock set to 1 minute.

Same issue here.
Noticed it on a iPhone 4 and iPhome 5S.
Already running iOS 7.0.3.
Screen, last night three times, goes into lockscreen and seems to be stuck there. It won't go off (into suspend or how you call it) until you hit the button.
Not sure if it's messages related, since i didn't get any message the last "freeze" time.
I was running some apps, including GPS and Safari and whatsapp.

IPhone 4 (iOS 5.0.1) Won't Sync Movies

My iPhone 4 (iOS 5.0.1) stopped syncing videos a few days ago, and removed all the videos I did have on it. Everything else is syncing fine. I double checked that my iOS 5.0.1 & iTunes software (10.5.1) are both up to date. The same goes for my MacBook Pro OS X Version 10.7.2.
iTunes seems normal as if it synced fine, but the "video" app on my iPhone says "No Videos. You can download videos from iTunes." And when I search for specific movies on my phone, none is found. I did a master reboot on my phone, but am hesitant to restore my phone, too, because I always have to re-arrange apps afterwards. Apparetnly, iTunes will remember every setting about my phone except app folders.
Even though this is an Apple problem, it refuses to help me at all, because my phone is already a few months old. Any help from you would be appreciated.
Many thanks!

I have exactly the same issue iTunes 10.5.1 / iPhone 4s (iOS 5.0.1) - impacts Movie and TV Show synch in the same way as described above.

IPhone 4 iOS 6 Update Doesn't Support 5GHz WiFi?

After upgrading to iOS 6 on my GSM iPhone 4, I've discovered that I can longer access my Apple Time Capsule (Airport Extreme). I do not have the grayed-out wifi option, but rather I can only see wifi base stations in the 2.4Hz spectrum. My Time Capsule is set for 5GHz only to eliminate interference from the large number of wifi access points in the surrounding area. Fortunately i have a Motorola witeless Cable Modem so i am able to access wifi in the 2.4GHz spectrum directly. However, using the AirPort App, I am able to see my Time Capsule, which should not be the case since it should only be visible to devices that can see 5GHz. This is based on my own previous attempts to reset the Time Capsule after setting it to 5GHz only and discovering none of my devices at that time were 5GHz capable.
The iPhone 4 was actively accessing the 5GHz Time Capsule prior to my upgrade to iOS 6. Does the fact that the AirPort App can see the Time Capsule, but can't see the 5GHz network hosted there suggest anything about the settings that may need to be adjusted following the upgrade to iOS 6?
I've read that the grayed-out WiFi option has resulted in some iPhone 4S being replaced under warranty, but obviously my phone is considerably out of warranty at this point. So I am concerned that this is a software fix coming in the next update. While the majority of Wifi access spots are still 2.4GHz, more are moving to the 5GHz spectrum, and I would hate to lose that functionality just to gain a few unspectacular features under iOS 6.
Anybody else have this specific problem, as I have searched and found nothing. most problems seem to affect only the 4S?

I don't understand your question: the iPhone 4 doesn't -- and never has -- support 5ghz wifi. See http://www.apple.com/iphone/iphone-4/specs.html

Since upgrading to latest iOS, my WLAN can not see many wifi networks, my friends iPhones pick them up easily. What should I do?

Since upgrading my 4s iPhone to the latest iOS , I now can not see many wi-fi locations beyond my home network. Friends can find and connect to many wifi networks yet my iPhone does not even see them. I can not recall prior to the upgrade whether in the settings whether turning on the wifi was shown as wifi or WLAN however the on/off is now WLAN. Not sure what the difference is. I totally reset the phone but no improvement. Can any body help me?

I have tried this however it did not make a difference. I found another user on the support pages that has the same issue.

Is it possible to control a Mac directly from an iOS device without being connected to a WiFi network, i.e. an airport or similar.

I would like to control my MacMini (Late 2012) 2.3GHz Intel Quad Core i7 processor directly from my iOS device, either my iPhone 6 or my iPad G3. By directly I mean without having a wireless or wired network in place.
I know there are a number of iOS apps that utilize VNC technology but I believe they all require the Mac to be connected via WiFi to an Airport or similar wireless networking device. I would like to control my MacMini remotely without having it already connected to a WiFi network and wondered is it possible? The iOS device and Mac would be in close proximity to one another.
Has anyone had any experience with this? Thanks.

Guys, thanks but I did not mean to control it by infrared. I know only too well that iOS devices do not have that capability. However they and the Mac both can send and receive WiFi signals so is there any reason they can't talk to each other directly.
When I am in my home I have an airport but I would like to take the Mac Mini out on music gigs with my Apollo interface which serves as my mic preamp and mixer as it does in my studio but the Apollo needs to be connected to the mac via thunderbolt to download the plugin software that provides reverb and eq, etc. I would like to do this without the need of a monitor and keyboard, hence my dilemma. The only thing I basically need to do is start the mini and the rest happens automatically but I need to also shut down (which I know can be accomplished a couple of ways) but with out having a visual interface you can't make any changes or verify what setting are being used.

IPhone 4S (and iPod Touch) can't see my wifi network.

My iPhone 4S, iPhone 4, and a few iPod Touches cannot see my wifi network. They can all see my neighbors'. My iPad and computer, however, can see my wifi network. They have all updated to the new iOS 6 recently. Help!!

Is this your problem?

IOS mail client not working in certain wifi networks

Hey,
this is driving me crazy:
When I use my iPad or iPhone within our universities eduroam wifi network, receiving and sending mails does not work.
I am using a google apps account. One would say, ok that's due to some IMAP and SMTP port blocking. However it isn't. Using my android phone with the same settings it just wouldn't work ... Never!
Using my iPad in other networks works just fine ...
Please help me with some suggestions.
Jacob

It could be the network, but what surprises me is that nothing else is being blocked at all. And I can't seem to change the port that Mail is on. I tried a port scan, and it came up that that port is blocked (993), but it also came up that every other port I tried was also blocked. I used a Mac to do a Port Scan for my iPad's IP, but it wasn't detecting any open ports. So I don't know if it is an issue with the network, or perhaps with my iOS devices. The network has 802.1X security I believe (I need a username and password to login), so unsure if this would affect it at all?
