My hotspot won't connect my computer to the internet since I upgraded my phone to ios7. The PC sees the hotspot but won't connect. The op sys on the PC is windows 7 ultimate. Can anyone help?

My hotspot won't connect my PC to the internet since I upgraded the op sys on the 4s iphone. The PC sees that hotspot but won't connect. The op sys on the PC is windows 7 ultimate. Can anyone tell me what to do please?

Glad to hear it is all straightened out. You are right about the upgrade cost. That is one reason why Adobe switched to monthly licensing—no more upgrade cost <g, r, & d>. Of course we do have nearly monthly product upgrades. It is almost like playing whack a mole.

We use an Airport Extreme in my office, which works fine for me. Occasionally we need to have more than one computer running on it, but for some reason it won't connect to the internet. It says we have internet, but won't connect to wifi. What's going on?

I use my computer everyday in our office and have no issue connecting to the internet/wifi, but when my boss comes in and tries to connect it doesn't work. It tells her she has internet, but won't connect to the wifi. We've tried a few different tactics(the basic ones I've seen on here), but nothing seems to be working for us. My computer automatically connects to our wifi.
Just recently the Airport Extreme has started with the blinking amber colored light on the front, which I believe means something is wrong? Can anyone help us figure out what's going on and why we can't get my boss' computer to connect as it should?
Thank you!

Here's an update:
Now the light is not blinking. It's a solid, consistant green. I don't know if it helps to narrow it down or anything, but I just figured I'd mention it.

IPhone won't connect to networks after 3.0 software upgrade

Hi,
It was always fine, but following the 3.0 software upgrade, it won't connect to networks. I've used the 'forgotten' function and inputted the details again - didn't work. I've also reset all network settings, then started from scratch. But I'm still getting the "unable to join networks" message.
My friends are all having this problem after the 3.0 upgrade too.
I'm in the UK, using a WPA2 connection. Nothing has changed about my network settings since upgrading the phone.
Any help appreciated.

You said that all your friends were having the same problem, implying that it might be general to the UK. I thought, and still do, that it was worth pointing out that it isn't general to the UK. Sorry you feel aggrieved by that.
I mad a suggestion that might help. You haven't said whether you tried it or not. I assume you did and it didn't work. Sorry about that too.
Try a restore. If that doesn't work for you or any of your friends, take the phones back and get replacements.

Forgot password.Tried to wipe by using Find my iPhone but won't connect to wifi even though it is turned on in the lock screen.Then tried to restore through iTunes but couldn't because Find my iPad on. Removed the iPad but iTunes still not working. Help!

My daughter stopped using her iPad when she got an iPhone for Christmas. It has been over one month and she has forgotten her passcode. I tried to wipe it via Find my iPhone but it won't connect to the wifi even though wifi is switched on on the lock screen. I then tried to restore it through iTunes but was unable to becuase Find my iPhine was switched on so I removed the iPad from the device list only to find that it didn't solve anything with the iTunes situation and it still won't connect to the wifi. I ahve tried turning wifi on and off, tried leaving the house and re-entering all to no avail. Is there any other way to restore the iPad????

FORCE IPAD INTO RECOVERY MODE
1. Turn off iPad
2. Turn on computer and launch iTune (make sure you have the latest version of iTune)
3. Plug USB cable into computer's USB port
4. Hold Home button down and plug the other end of cable into docking port. Do not release button until you see picture of iTune and plug (very important)
5. Release Home button.
ON COMPUTER
6. iTune has detected iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with iTune.
7. Select "Restore iPad"...

IPhone 5 Wi-Fi problems: "sees" the network, but won't connect

Hi everybody,
For the past 3 days I've been having sudden problems with my brand new iPhone 5 (version 6.0.2 {10A551}).
It just won't connect to the internet, no matter what I do. It actually "sees"the availble networks, but when I put the password in, it says"Unable to connect to the network".
I tried Resetting Network settings and All Settings, to no avail.
The irony is that I get Facebook notifications, App of the day Notifications, occasional mails, but nothing else. Email sync is erratic, and always with the little round circle where the WiFi icon should be. No Whatsapp, Viber, etc.
I'm totally baffled and equally desperate.
Can anyone help me please?
Many thanks in advance and Happy New Year to all thread readers.
Joyce

Try restarting your router first, turn it off for a minute then back on. then go to settings on your phone, then wifi, tap on the blue arrow to the right of your wifi 's name, then tap forget this network. Then go to the home screen, Then hold the home and off button down until the apple symbol comes up. Then go back into wifi and try to connect.

Airport Express has green light but won't connect to remote speakers from Macbook or iPhone

Hi,
I have a 6-7 year old airport express that I have used frequently as remote speakers for my macbook and 2 iphones. I am currently having problems with getting this to work in my new flat. It worked for a few weeks and now he green light is on but the remote speakers time out when i try to connect to it.
Sometimes the airport is visible in itunes/iphone and sometimes it isn't. when it isn't if i unplug it and leave it a while it appears again but i cant connect but the green light is always on.
It's all set up properly so I don't know if it is just getting old and I need a new one or whether this can be solved.
I have reset this numerous times
Thanks in advance!

I've solved this by resetting my wireless internet connection at the box and then setting up airport express again.
I don't know whether that will help you.....

IPhone 5: Cellular Data works but won't connect to password protected wifi?

I just got the new iPhone 5. It is now working on the AT&T network.
it will work on my public WiFi at home, but not on the private WiFi network, which I need it to work on. I keep typing in my password, and two letters before the whole thing it says "join" and even when I type in the whole password it does not join. it says unable to connect.
Any ideas?

Your home wifi may possibly be having issues. Call the company that does your wifi and they should send someone out to service it.

Time capsule produces a signal, but won't connect or backup

I have looked at some of the other discussions here; some are similar, but I can't find an answer.
I have a TC, Macbook Pro and an iPhone 4, all between 6-10 months old. My problems started when I turned on all my stuff after being away for 4 weeks over the summer.
My Macbook pro's AirPort recognises the TC - I have a 'full signal' reading at the top of the page. However, when I try and connect to the internet, I'm told it can't connect to the server. If I just keep trying, re-entering addresses (from the scroll-down bar, so always exactly the same), it eventually connects and I have a great connection, which I can use to watch movies/download stuff no problem. Why is it so **** illogical? Why does it connect on the 20th attempt, and not on the first? This happens however long the computer has been on, and regardless of when I last connected to the internet.
The biggest problem is that I have a Vodafone 'Sure Signal' signal booster attached to the TC. Without it, I get no phone signal. The Sure Signal does not recognise the signal from the TC at all. I have done factory resets on both - individually and together, and nothing has changed. I have turned the Sure Signal off, but the TC still doesn't work properly.
My iPhone won't connect either. It too shows a 'full signal', but when I try and connect it says connected/not connected alternately about every 1 second.
The TC is connected to the internet via a cable from my landlord's router, next door. They have perfect signal. They also have a signal booster in their house, which used to interfere with my TC (when it worked). I changed the channel on my TC, and now, when it connects, there is no interference.
Please can someone enlighten me - I have worked though every thing I can, and I can't go any further because I can't see any logic to the problem.
** Since these problems have started, the TC has not backed anything up - I can't get it to back up, whatever I've tried.
** Each time I have re-made my network, when I open Airport Utility, it says 'no wireless devices recognised', and I have to re-start the TC in order to be able to do anything to it.

Try changing the Firewall setting:
mDNSResponder - Allow incoming connections
Background:
My Time Capsule was working perfectly in Leopard.
When I upgraded to Slow Leopard, Airport Utility was no longer able to see the Time Capsule - although my Mac (MBP) was still able to connect to the wireless network and out onto the Internet.
The next day or so I upgraded to Lion (Snow Leopard was only installed to get App store) - the situation remained the same.
From another Mac (MB - still running Leopard) Airport Utility was still able to connect to Time Capsule.
I edited the firewall settings on my Lion MBP:
The mDNSResponder was set to "Block incoming connections".
I changed this to "Allow incoming connections".
Airport Utility was then was then able to see the Time Capsule (I can't recall now if I needed a reboot after changing this).
HTH.

My iphone 5 is in recovery mode and won't connect to itunes

I was trying to update my phone using itunes but now my iphone 5 is stuck in recovery mode and won't connect to itunes.

Hello nancarter97,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with your iPhone 5. I would be concerned too if my iPhone was stuck in recovery mode and not recognized in iTunes so that you can restore it.
I recommend the following article for the issue you described and specifically this step:
5. Use iTunes to restore your device.
If you don't see your device in iTunes, follow these steps for Mac or these for Windows.

IPhone 5S opens in Windows Explorer but doesn't connect to iTunes?

When I plug my iPhone 5S into my computer it opens in Window Explorer so that I can access my photos, but it doesn't open in iTunes. iTunes and my iPhone are both completely updated (iOS 7.0.5 and iTunes 11.1.4). I have restarted my computer and I have done a hard reset and nothing has worked. I haven't had this problem until now. It charges and all, but it doesn't register in iTunes. What can I do?

After connecting to Bluetooth keyboard, iPad 2 will not connect to Internet (wifi) at all. Wifi is ok, have tried turning off bltooth, wifi on iPad. It sees the network but won't connect. Help? Have also reset network settings etc

My iPad wifi was working great until I I connected it by Bluetooth to a keyboard (zagg). It was the first time I'd used Bluetooth
Immediately Internet was dropped on my ipad. My iPhone was and is still connected no prob. And I cannot get the iPad wifi to work again....at all!!!
This is major as I am away from my desktop for three months. Any fix cannot involve being at my desktop with iTunes which is 10,000 km away
So far This is what I've tried based on other discussions-
-turned Bluetooth off and unpaired to keyboard which was also turned off
- turned iPad wifi off and on (several times)
- forgot the network I useArrive Jul 19 depart Aug 25th. Originally it was Sept 9.
-- reset network settings
What happens is that the iPad sees the network and I enter my password. But, instead of getting "check mark" indicating a successful connections it keeps "circling". Sometimes the airport bars will show, but disappear or flicker. It never connects with a check noted in settings. Any attempts to use internet confirm there is no connection
My network is not a cafe or public network. It is one I regularly use here at my family's home where I am visiting
Any ideas!

Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

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.

IPod touch turns on but won't connect or charge

I have a 1st gen iPod touch that has suddenly stopped charging and won't connect to my iMac even though I can turn the iPod on and use it without any problems.
When plugged in via USB it won't mount or connect to iTunes. I tried this via my USB hub and also directly into the back of my iMac. Both the hub and USB port worked with other devices plus I used two different USB cables as well so the problem is with any of those.
The charging indicator also doesn't appear when I have it plugged it. I even tried it using a Firewire cable into a wall charger. I also tried connecting to my Mac using that Firewire cable and still no luck charging or connecting.
The connectors must shot on the iPod, it is a 1st gen after all. I just want to make sure I've tried everything to get it back in working order.
The other thing is that if the connection is shot how can I go about fully wiping the iPod before recycling it if I can't connect to my Mac?
Thanks.

P.S. Tried restarting too, no luck there either.
