IPhone knocks my Desktop Mac off of home WiFi!
I have WiFi in my home- my Mac Pro gets my internet via Airport from my wireless router. However, since I got my iPhone 3GS, if I connect it to the WiFi in my home, it kicks the desktop Mac off from having an internet connection. So, I can only use one device on my WiFi at a time. Anyone have this issue or have a fix?
Couple of other suggestions:
Check your router DHCP range and set your iphone as STATIC IP ADDRESS and NOT within your DHCP range...this will not conflict with all another wireless device that connected to your router.
Does the computer have a static IP or is it configured to use a dynamic IP given by the router as well?
When the iphone connects to the router and gets a IP, it could be conflicting with the IP given to the computer.

IPhone 5 will no longer connect to home wifi
My iPhone 5 has been connecting to my home wifi without any troubles, however all of a sudden, for the last couple of days it will no longer connect. When I go to Settings, it shows my the name of my home network next to Wifi as though it's connected, however if I go into the Wifi settings, instead of a tick next to my home network, it has the little pinwheel that shows it's trying to connect to it. The wifi triangle never appears at the top of the screen and the wifi never fully connects.
My wifi is working normally when I connect to other connections outside of my home.
I have reset Network Connections, re-entered my home wifi password, but I still have the same result.
The only thing I can think of is that there are now more phones in the house using our wifi connection so maybe I have somehow been kicked off?
Please Help!Hi Brenden,
Thanks for your reply. I had already tried the steps in that article and I don't know how, but a few hours after I reset my network connections & re-entered the wifi password, the wifi began working again.
Now some of the other members in the household can no longer connect so it appears I have bumped them off!
Oh well at least mine is working again!
Thank you for taking the time to answer my query. -
my iphone will no longer connect to my home wifi. it recognises it, but the searching cirlce is constant next to network name. there are three laptops and another iphone on the same wifi that have no connectivity issues. i have reset the network settings but that did not help. the issue started last week when the second iphone was introduced to the house, could this be the cause?
No.
Any problem connecting your iPhone to any other wi-fi network besides your own? -
My iPhone 4s will not connect with my home WiFi network. I have ios6 on my iPhone. The connection was working perfectly before I updated my IMac and my MacBook Pro to ios 10.8.2. I have had ios6 since I purchased the phone a couple of months ago. It searches for a network and finds them, but when it asks for my password, it will not accept the password. Have never had this happen before.

How do I transfer photos from my iphone to my desktop Mac?
Transfering photos from iphone 4 to my desktop mac?
There are many ways. The easiest is to connect your iPhone to your Mac via the USB cable, start up iPhoto, and choose to "import all" from the iPhone.
Another easy way is to use the Image Capture application. You can download the photos from your phone to any location on your Mac's drive. This is a good choice if you don't use iPhoto, don't have iPhoto, or have only a very old version of iPhoto.
You can also get a free app such as WiFi Photo Transfer. Using that app, you can download any or all of the photos on your iPhone to any other device that has a web browser - even another iPhone. -
I cannot get my new macbook pro running off my home wifi? HELP
I have my Mac desktop running off a dlink (Time Warner Cable) AirPort - BUT I cannot get my new macbook pro to even find this AirPort. It also wont connect as a wifi network. Everytime I try and enter the password it comes back with a connection timeout. What can I do to get macbook to recongnize my AirPort Base Station.
If I open up the AirPort App - it only says that it cannot find my AirPort wireless device (probably because I dont have one) and then if I go to networks to connect to my wifi I select my home network and it ask me to input a password (as it should) but when I try to put in my password for my network it says "connection timeout" and the screen behind it (where the options for wifi or ethernet ext are) it says no ip address under wifi (also the status indicator is showing yellow - since my wifi is on just not connected to a network. I cannot seem to find any place to input my information for my specific router. Although I can connect to neighboring wifi routers just fine.

Hey everyone, I have been having this problem for about a day or two now. I have an iPhone 4, and have iOS 7.1.2. Basically, my iPhone will connect to my home WiFi sometimes, but it randomly loses connection and won't connect for hours upon hours. I have tried turning it on and off multiple times as well as resetting the network settings. I know that it is not my network's problem because a member of my family has an iPhone 5S, and it works fine with the WiFi, along with all of my other devices. This issue is getting very annoying as I don't like to use my cellular data at home since it is limited. Please help me!!
Does the iOS device connect to other networks? If yes that tends to indicate a problem with your network.
What happens when it fail to connect?
----- Does the iOS device see the network?
----- Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iOS device connect before?
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: 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 your router
.- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

My iPhone 3G is no longer recognizing my home wifi.
My iPhone used to recognize my home wifi and connect automatically, but now it won't at all. I've resetted my network settings, restarted my wifi several times (other devices can connect just fine, so that can't be the problem,) and restarted my phone. It's still not working :/

I thought once I first used my home wifi and entered my security code, it would connect automatically whenever I returned home.
Have you reset the phone by holding the home and off button down until the apple symbol comes up? Then if that doesnt work, you need to restore your phone in itunes first from your backup, then if still not, then fron as new.

HT4623 iPhone 5 will not connect to my home wifi.
My iPhone 4 connects without issue, however my wife's new iPhone 5 just searches and cannot locate the wifi to connect to.
Make sure you update the iPhone 5 to iOS 6.0.1 which just came out yesterday. It addresses problemsn with WiFi connections, especially if you are using encrypted WPA2 networks.
Also, check if your router manufacturer has a firmware update, especially if you have an older router that hasn't been updated in a long while.
Good luck, and report back. -
How do I export calendar and contact files in Outlook and import them into iphone 4. I operate Mac OS X at home and wish to carry my work information with me on my iPhone.
You do not export anything.
Instead, sync the content from Outlook to your device via iTunes.
Try reading the manual, it's included on the device or here. -
