IPhone 4S (iOS 6.1.3) connects to home Wifi, but not O2 or the_Cloud hotspots

Hello.
I have been having some issues connecting to hotspot wifi.
I can connect to my home and office wifi without a problem, but my phone will not automatically connect to wifi hotspots. When I try to connect manually, the phone hangs on the login screen before giving the message below. The phone is set up on O2 wifi and Sky wifi, but the issue is common to them both.
I have been told th eissue is due to the ports and Apple servers and there is currently no fix other than turning off wifi, then turning off cell data, then turning wifi back on - each time I want to connect to a wifi hotsport......
Has anyone with this version of iOS solved it and if so, can they post a link to the solution?
Thanks,
Stuart

By way of an update, I downloaded 6.1.3 via iTunes and then reinstalled my Apps and set-up mail using new settings. It was a bit of a pain, but at least it made me review the Apps I have. I re-sync'd with iTunes to put the music and podcasts back. I did not restore from a backup.
I tried connecting to The_Cloud and O2 WIFI hotspots and it works fine (without having to turn cellular data off)!
Thanks for your help.

My iphone 5 says that it's connected to home wifi but I can't access the internet

We just got Comcast Xfinity internet installed and I have no idea if that's the problem (or if it's because our wifi does not require a password) but my iPhone 5 (and my boyfriend's) will connect to our home network wifi but when I try to use the internet, it gives me the message that "Safari cannot open the page because the server has stopped responding" or something to that effect. I have tried: 1) Forgetting the network and re connecting 2) Resetting network settings 3) Changing from DHCP to Static and back 4) changing the DNS number and 5) Calling AT&T Support (no luck there, either). The tech person did suggest (as weird as it sounds) that the fact that my wireless router does not have a password might be the problem and that once I password protect it, it could help. No idea.... Please help!

I figured it out! We have a modem (the new one that was given to us when we signed up with Comcast) and a wireless router. The network names on the two are different, so I called Comcast and they confirmed that the new Comcast modem puts out a wireless signal and that our network is connected to that one, not the old wireless router. So I checked to see if that network was available to connect to on my iPhone and it was! I entered the new password, forgot the old network, and it works!! Thanks for the suggestion to call Comcast!

Our IPod connects to the WIFi, but not to the internet.

Our IPod connects to the WIFI, but not to the internet. We have a wireless router which we connect our MACBOOK to the internet and our IPod. The MACBOOK works fine, but not the IPod. It shows to be connected to WIFI, but whenever we try to connect to an internet site i.e. Sarfari, we get an message "Safari cannot open the page becuase it is not connected to the internet". We have tried rebooting, but it has not helped.

Try:
- Resetting the iPod. Nothing will be lost.
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
- Power off and then back on the router
- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Setting

MacBook Pro won't connect to home wifi, but will connect to other networks

Help! MacBook Pro won't connect to home wifi but will connect to other networks. Others can connect to my home network. I've tried diagnostics, resetting the router, restarting my computer, and forgetting the network and then trying to access it. Nothing works.

TS3972 My Apple TV connects to the wifi but not to the internet.

My Apple TV connects to the wifi but not to the internet. Currently using a D-Link Router and Shaw Cable in BC Canada.
Apple says "Connections through proxy servers are not supported". Would that be Shaw? How can I update the ATV
software without connecting to a TV and the internet? Can I connect it to my MacBook Pro? ATV worked very well in Arizona
using CenturyLink as an ISP provider and their modem/router. ATV software is 5.0.

What happens when you try to connect? I would contact your ISP

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.

After ios 5 update cannot connect to home wifi

it worked just before i installed ios 5 and now I cannot connect to my wifi. iphone still connects

Same for me.
I have to reset my comcast modem to get the iphone to submit the password.
Otherwise i just get a message "unable to connect to HOMExxxx"
After I reset the modem then I get the password request.
Password should be retained in the iPhone.
Got the iPhone connected on Sunday night and then Monday morning had to go through the whole routine again.
Comcast password is many characters so this is problematic.

MacBook and husband's iPhone won't connect to home Wifi, but my iPhone and iPad will.

As of this week, our home Wifi won't connect our MacBook (2008) or my husband's iPhone 4 to our home Internet. Our iPad 2 and my iPhone 4 still connect no problem. We appear to get the signal, but get error messages about not connecting to the Internet with browsers.
We've tried turning things off and on, forgetting and re-adding networks, and copying info from my phone to his, but have all been unsuccessful.
We share our Internet with our neighbor and nothing has changed with that. We asked her to turn off/on the router and/or modem with no change.
The ONLY difference I can think of is my husband started his last semester at school this week and he uses both devices on campus. He has to use his campus ID and password to get on campus Wifi so he doesn't change any settings, but I feel like its all leading back to that.
Any help would be much appreciated! Thank you!!!

Forgetting the Network didn't work. It's dong the same thing.
So if it's a router problem, what can we do?
Two devices work, and two don't...I just don't understand why.
Could it be that too many people have logged into our wireless and now it's out of IP's? Could we ask people who have previously logged into our internet to delete it completely? I don't know if that would free anything up?

Installed IOS7 for IPad~now can't connect to home WiFi, but worked @Library.So IOS7 doesn't like Sky Yahoo

For days I have been unable to use my IPAD except to view what is already there. I downloaded IOS7 and all was ok for about a week but suddenly one morning I woke up to find that my gadget doesn't want to connect WiFi via my home provider. This happens to be Sky Yahoo. So, short of changing providers, I don't know what to do. Only purchased my IPAD 2 in June this year but am already wishing that I had chosen the Samsung Galaxy Note. (it was a close call).The tech guys in the shop have tried to help but as soon as I am out of range of the shop I am back to square one. Called in at my local library today and had no problem connecting to their WiFi.
Can i "uninstall" IOS7 or is there a way round this problem before I go crazy? This is being sent from my laptop, obviously. Any and all help gratefully accepted.....especially if it works.

You can't downgrade the iOS.
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 droping 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

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.
Double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. You may have many open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign.

I am connected to my Wifi but not able to access the internet

I am connceted to my Wifi but unable to access the internet. Please help!

Despite the WiFi connection sign you may not really be connected to your WiFi network.
Your router may not have given your iPad a valid IP address when the iPad requested it. To check on this go to Settings > Wifi > your network name and touch the ">" to the right to see the network details. If the IP address shown starts with 169 or is blank then your router didn't provide an IP address and you won't be able to access the Internet.
Sometimes the fix for this can be as simple as restarting your router (remove power for 30 seconds and restart). Next, reset network settings on your iPad (Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings) and then attempt to connect. In other cases it might be necessary to update the router's firmware with the latest from the manufacturer's support web pages.
If you need more help please give more details on your network, i.e., your router make, model and version, the wifi security being used (WEP, WPA, WPA2), etc.

Connects to one wifi but not another

I've got a iMac that is connecting to my password protected wifi but my MacBook will not. The MacBook will however connect to an unprotected wifi in the neighborhood. It does that automatically. This seems to be a recent issue.

Hi foundsheep,
What is the MacBook doing? Is it getting an IP address, is it getting a self-assigned IP address? What sort of security setting is on the router?

So i recently bought an iphone 6 and i try to connect to my wifi but it wont work. An error message shows up IMMEDIATELY and i dont know why. I reset my Network Settings twice and idk.

SO yeah if yall can help me with this. Youre a life saver cuz ive already used 7 gb of data and i dont feel like using the rest

Perhaps you'd like to consider telling us what the error says...

IPod use to connect to my wifi but not will not?

I have had my ipod for about a year now and the wifi has worked up until yesterday. Yesterday morning it was working fine and then just stopped. I tried rejoining my network but it continued to say "Unable to join the network" even after I put the correct password in. Im not sure if it works on other Networks because there are none around me but the wifi and internet works on both of our home laptops. I have reset my wifi settings, reset the router, and even called the cable company to reset our internet but nothing works. Any idea on how I can fix this?

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.

Connected to home wireless but not loading from web

I've seen all the answers here, especially some excellent and thorough information from user "Linc" but nothing is working for me.
We have Comcast internet and the wireless network 'all of sudden' last week was very slow on my Mac mini. My wife has her Dell laptop which has experienced no difference in service over the same time. So for around 6 months, all has been well.
My Mac mini is about two years old and I'm on OSX 10.6.8. I've not made any system os changes in the last 6 months nor have I added any software besides Sophos for virus scanning. However, as I mentioned, all has been well up until last week.
Now, after restarting, google will come up and maybe 1 or two searches will work but then it just spins and spins. Nothing loads in either Safari, Firefox or Chrome. I tried using Firebug to see if I could get some message about the network but nope. Full strength on the signal and connecting to the actual network fine.
First step I took was to reset the router; no difference. I also tried unplugging the router but again no difference on my Mac. Laptop still connected via wireless as usual.
I then got rid of the /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration files restarted to generate new files; no difference.
My Asus Transformer tablet can connect to the same network just fine so it's definitely something on the Mac mini.
The last thing I tried was shutting down, unplugging the machine for 15 secs; pluggin it back in, waiting for 5 sec and turning back on. No change.
Besides any suggestions, I'd also like thoughts as to what could cause this from a process pov. No OS changes have been made like upgrads or system components upgraded which I could see could cause something weird but what else is actually 'in the works' that could cause such a problem? It doesn't feel like "the xx file has become corrupted".... because, well... how? How do "xx files" become corrupted absent of crashes, power-outs, viruses or system upgrades?
Thanks for insights!
Kelly

I uderstand that the other equipment works but they will use different software to access DNS etc, appreciate it should not make a difference but, sometimes it does.
This is an article for flushing dns caches, it is useful to do if you have dns problems.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5343
I think I am correct that in SL the DNS resolver is different for web browsing or the terminal commands, one uses the newer mDNSresponder the other resolver. If I am wrong someone will put me right.
SL had a few problems with this system when first introduced, the main one seemed to the prefetch which was too high for some systems, that is why I suggested it as a possibility.
No other ideas for now, see if anything comes to mind tomorrow.

Connected to airport wifi but not connected to internet

I am using an airport wifi - time capsule. The internet works on my Mac which is wired in; however when I try the wifi I can connect to the airport network I made and have used for years but a the network does not connect to the internet. I have powered down/ restarted and all that typical stuff. Thoughts?
I am running Snow Leopard if that matters

Ok, this is clear and simple.
Your TC is wrongly configured. I am not sure if it has been like this for years and you are now adding a computer but the reason it is failing is because you have captured the public IP on the imac which is wired so the wireless computer cannot get an IP address.
You need to
1. Power off your cable modem.. I am assuming it is cable service .. if not tell me.
It needs to go off for 20min or so for the imac to drop the captured public IP.
2. Reset the TC to factory.. this will not harm your backups.
The Factory Reset universal
Unplug your TC/AE. Hold in reset. and power the TC/AE back on.. all without releasing reset and keep holding in for about 10sec. The time is not important.. it is the front LED rapid flashing that indicates you are in factory mode.
Release reset.
If it doesn’t flash rapidly you have released reset at some point and try again.
Be Gentle! Feel the switch click on. It has a positive feel.. add no more pressure after that.
TC/AE will reboot after a couple of minutes with default factory settings and will wipe out previous configurations.
No files are deleted on the hard disk.. No reset of the TC deletes files.. to do that you use erase from the airport utility.
3. Since you are using snow leopard you must be on v5 airport utility.
The main things to do in the setup is to ensure you set the right settings for internet.
You are going to share a public IP .. at the moment you are bridged.
Then just check that the actual connection is set to dhcp.
Yours will look different ... don't worry about the actual numbers it is the using dhcp that is key.
Setup the base station name and wireless to create a wireless network.
eg.. I suggest all names that are short no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
Just tell us if you run into troubles.
