  • Able to join wifi network, but cant connect to web or itunes

    Picked up 16 GB iPod Touch today at Best Buy. Able to sync music ok. No problems with sound quality using good earphones.
    Touch is good but takes a fair amount of pressure. Guess I will get adapted
    Able to join my home wifi network, but cant connect to an website or ITunes wifi- says it can't find the server. I entered my WEP key and pressed join. I have a wifi icon with 3 bars. Did I miss a step?
    Am converting a few tv shoes so I can test video

    Did you try putting it to sleep/turning it back on. It originally did that for me, I put in my key for my network (which is hard, as its many many digits and letters) and it said it couldn't find the server. I turned it off, and back on, started up the iTunes store, and it connected automatically and worked.

  • My iphone 5 will non find wifi networks away from home after ios upgrade

    ios 7.0.2 does not find wifi networks away from my home network

    the most popular "solution" is to overheat your iphone for about 10 minutes and then to cool it in the fridge however, i heard that this harms your phone as well

  • Iphone connects to secured wifi network but cant surf the internet

    I am trying to connect to the wifi at the office, it's a 64 bit WEP secured network (I enter a 10 character hex key). The Iphone connects to the network and is assigned a valid IP address. But when I try www.google.com or 64.233.167.99 for example, it fails with 'Safari could not open the page because the server stopped responding'.
    It all works fine at home on my non secured wifi network.
    Please, can someone help? Thanks.

    Are you 100% sure the WiFi at your work has access to get out...and also, I assume they know you are getting on it. Not sure what type of office you are at (eg: large business with network support/admin or at a small office where you or somebody right there set it up).
    But if large office with network admin...could be they locked it down with MacAddresses as well.

  • My iPhone 4s connects to wifi networks, but internet own't work with password protected networks

    Hello,
    I have an iPhone 4S.  I have been having issues with my wifi.  It works for several months, but one day for no reason I have been able to determine, the wifi stopped working.  It has been many weeks since it has worked.  I have tried several networks (home, work, relative's houses, etc...)
    After visiting the Apple Genius Bar, I was told it was probably a software issue the wifi worked fine in the apple store on a unprotected network which showed that the wifi was able to function. It was recommended that I backup and then to a full reset to factory settings.
    I did the backup and reset.  It has had no effect on my ability to use internet to secured networks.
    I also updated the iOS to the most recent update ( 6.0.1) to see if that would help, but it didn't.
    To summarize:
    -iPhone connects to wifi networks
    -Unable to use internet (or other data functions) while connected to a password protected wifi...but able to do so on unprotected networks.
    -Already tried resetting network settings.
    -Already tried resetting to factory settings.
    -Already tried updating iOS.
    Thanks

    Might be a wifi router issue.  Try power cycling the router and/or updating it's firmware.  You might also try temporarily removing any security features until you get it sorted out.  If still an issue, it might be wifi on the iPhone itself... there have been many reports of wifi problems with iOS6.  Have you restored as new, i.e. without your backup?  You could also Google for ways to downgrade back to iOS5.
    Regarding the Chipotle issue, go for the bowl instead of the burrito.

  • IPhone can join WRT54GS network, but cannot connect to internet

    I've got a WRT54GS v.1.1 router w/latest firmware (4.41.4).  My wired and wireless computers (windows XP) can connect just fine and see the internet.  My iPhone 3GS can join the network, but cannot see the internet.  The phone can join the network, gets a DHCP address/gateway/DNS info just fine.  Other machines on the local network can see the phone and vice-versa.  However, any time the iPhone tries to reach out to the internet, a message pops up saying "Safari cannot open the page because it is not connected to the internet".
    Again, other machines on my network can connect without issue.  My iPhone has no trouble connecting to other WiFi networks.
    I've tried all different wireless encryption schemes, including no password/encryption, with the same results each time.  I've also tried using a static IP address on my phone.  No luck.  MAC filtering is disabled, as is any other access restrictions.
    Finally, I've reset the phone's network settings, reset the router to its factory defaults, and tried everything else I can think of. 
    I've only seen one similar message one these boards with this problem, but it was never responded to.  Anyone seen this before of have other suggestions?
    Thanks in advance for any help.
    David 

    Thanks for your response!
    IP:  192.168.1.100  (DHCP-assigned)
    Subnet: 255.255.255.0
    Gateway: 192.168.1.1
    DNS: 66.218.44.5, 66.218.44.90 (the DNS's of my ISP)
    Router's (local) IP address is  192.168.1.1
    Router's internet-facing address is the one assigned by my ISP via their DHCP
    All looks right to me.

  • [WRT54GL] laptop sees the network but cant connect

    Hey everyone,
    I am having trouble connecting to my wireless network with my laptop/wii
    When i scan for available networks, it finds my network perfectly and has a verygood signal.
    But when i try to connect to it it says that the network is timed-out or it is canceld manually.
    I just find it strange that i get this error since the day before it worked fine.
    I tried to search the forum but i couldnt find any post about it, so im hoping im not double posting.
     Does anyone know a solution to the problem?
    Well thanks for atleast reading it,

    Readjust the wireless settings on your router and try to connect your network again.....
    Open an Internet Explorer browser page on your wired computer(desktop).In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1 and press Enter...Leave Username blank & in Password use admin in lower case...
    Click on the Wireless tab
    - Wireless Network mode should be mixed...
    - Provide a unique name in the Wireless Network Name (SSID) box in order to differentiate your network from your neighbours network...
    - Set the Wireless channel to 11-2.462GHz...Wireless SSID broadcast should be Enabled and then click on Save Settings...
    Please make a note of Wireless Network Name (SSID) as this is the Network Identifier...
    For Wireless Security : -
    Click on the Sub tab under Wireless > Wireless Security...
    Change the Wireless security mode to WPA, For Encryption, select TKIP...For Passphrase input your desired WPA Key. For example , MySecretKey , This will serve as your network key whenever you connect to your wireless network. Do NOT give this key to anyone and remember the key.
    NOTE : Passphrase should be more that 8 characters...
    Click on Advanced Wireless Settings
    Change the Beacon Interval to 75 >>Change the Fragmentation Threshold to 2304, Change the RTS Threshold to 2304 >>Click on "Save Settings"...
    Now see if you can locate your Wireless Network and attempt to connect...

    Hi, please can someone help me?
    Have just returned home from abroad where my iphone 4 worked perfectly.
    Now at home it wont receive wifi. It picks up the signal which shows in phones display but cant connect to the internet. Computers and ipod all working fine so I assume it must be a problem with the phone.
    Have checked that wifi is turned on and tried resetting phone to no avail

    Hello melissa82686,
    From your description, it sounds like you may have been using the SMS feature of Continuity in iOS 8. If this is the case and it has somehow become misconfigured after a recent change, you may find the information and steps outlined in the following articles helpful:
    SMS
    With Continuity, all the SMS and MMS text messages you send and receive on your iPhone also appear on your Mac, iPad, and iPod touch. Even if the person you’re communicating with doesn’t have an iPhone. And regardless of what phone they have, you can reply from whichever device is closest to you, including your iPad or Mac. You can also initiate a  conversation by clicking a phone number in Safari, Contacts, or Calendar.
    To use Continuity for SMS and MMS with your iPhone and your Mac, iPad or iPod touch
    Your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch need to use iOS 8.1, and your Mac needs to use OS X Yosemite.
    Sign in to iMessage on your iPhone, your other iOS devices, and your Mac using the same Apple ID.
    On your iPhone:
    Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > You Can Be Reached By, and add a check to both your phone number and email address.
    Go to Messages > Text Message Forwarding, and enable the device(s) you would like to forward messages to.
    Your Mac, iPad, or iPod touch will display a code. Enter this code on your iPhone to verify the SMS feature.

  • I can Connect my iPhone to Time Capsule network, but I Cant get internett on it??

    I can Connect my iPhone to Time Capsule network, but I Cant get internett on it??

    Download 5.6 utility for Lion.. inbuilt version is hopeless.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
    Set TC and wireless names to short, no spaces, no special characters.. ie pure alphanumeric.
    Lock the wireless to fixed channels.. only 2.4ghz matters.. as iphone cannot connect to 5ghz.
    Try 6, 11 first then 1. I think bluetooth may be set to use lower channels.
    That seems to have fixed it for most people.

  • Device is connected to to a wifi network but does not have access to Blackberry services over wifi connection

    please help me, my blackberry curve has been working perfectly fine (everything network and wifi connection are working great) since i got it but all of the sudden when i connect to our wifi at home i noticed that the wifi logo on the upper screen is grayed out. i checked the manual and it says: device is connected to to a wifi network but does not have access to Blackberry services over wifi connection. i dont  know what to do, i tried the hard reset (removed batt for 1 min while phone is on and put it back in) i also tried to remove the wifi profile and added it back up but still nothing seems to work, my service provider has BB services available on my phone, i can received BBM, pushed email, use FB on my phone using my network but i cant use my wifi to browse.. what should i do? help me please!

    With a PC, the Windows Firewall and/or the anti-virus software will sometimes block an attempted Internet connection.
    Check both applications to see if you can find a "blocked" item and then take steps to "allow" the connection.
    If still no luck, temporarily disable the wireless security for a short period to see if the PC can connect that way. If it can.....then you know it is security related issue.
    See if the PC can connect using a setting like WPA-PSK-TKIP. The equivalent Apple setting would be WPA/WPA2 Personal.

  • My airport is connected to an Ethernet cable and I have created a wifi network but my iPad and I phone can't seem to join it. They just keep trying. What's wrong?? Help!

    I have just bought an airport express to connect to the Ethernet cable in my cabin. It's all set up all lights green and I've set up my wifi connection. But when I try to connect my I pad 3 or my iPhone 4 it finds the network but cannot seem to join it. Can anyone help?

    Hello Lucy:
    As I am not on the ship, I am "fishing" to see if I am able to help.
    On the ships (cruise type) I have been on, there is usually a secure "ship" wi-fi network (as well as one that passengers may use for a fee) that needs a password to join. 
    On your iPad, go to settings and then tap Wi-Fi.  What network are you connected to? 
    When you plugged in your Airport Express, you should have been prompted for settings...including security.
