IPhone no longer able to join Airport wireless

Hello fellow Apple users,
I have an iPhone 4 and an Airport Extreme 802.11n (4th g). It all used to work fine until a couple of weeks ago. I did not make any changes to the AP. The Airport is running the latest (7.5.2) and the iPhone is on 5.0. The phone was on version 4 up until a week ago, but it stopped working when it was on version 4. I can see my wireless network in the iPhone wireless network list, and I enter the WPA2 password and it says "Unable to join the network <my home network name>". I know that I am typing the password correct, and I have tried many times. Even if I purposely type an incorrect password, I get the same message instead of the error about having an incorrect password. I have a MacBook Pro on 10.7.2, and an iPad2 on 4.3.5 and they are both able to connect to the AP wirh no problems. My iPhone is able to connect to other wireless networks at friends houses and at work. It just won't connect to my own AP.
I have read http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398, and done all of the steps.
I have turned off and on the Airport.
I have reset the Airport back to factory defaults and re-created a brand new network. The MBP and iPad2 also work with the new network.
I have turned off the WiFi option on the iPhone, and turned it back on, as well as completely turned off the iPhone.
I have done the "Reset Network Settings" from the iPhone, and tried to connect again.
Any other ideas why my iPhone stopped working with my Airport?

This has been fixed, had a friend fiddle with my settings a little and got it up and running.

WiFi no longer able to even see wireless networks

At some point (I believe after installing an update) my iPhone is no longer able to find any wireless networks. It will just continue to "spin" on the choose a network screen and never finds any. Trust me when I say the wireless access point is working and isn't the problem. I used to be able to connect to it and haven't changed anything. Plus there are other iPhone and iTouch users in my house that use it without a problem as well.
Here are the things I've tried:
1. Switch to airplane mode then switch back
2. Reset Network Settings in the general\reset menu
3. Upgrade to the latest and greatest iphone OS
4. Finally, I did a reset to factory defaults losing all of my apps and settings. THIS WORKED until I did a restore of my backup to get my apps and data back.
Is there any way to get this working again without losing everything and starting over?

This is a user to user help forum only.
Copied from my previous post.
If no change after resetting network settings on your iPhone and/or after restoring your iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from your iPhone's backup, your iPhone has a hardware problem with the wireless card or with something else. The iPhone includes a one year warranty.
Apple's solution if no change after what was copied from my previous post is an exchange under warranty since your iPhone has a hardware problem. With a hardware problem the only solution is an exchange under warranty. If there is no Apple store nearby, you can call AppleCare. If you have purchased the AppleCare extended warranty, the exchange will be shipped to your door the next business day after calling. If you haven't purchased the AppleCare extended warranty, if you pay $29 the exchange will be shipped to your door the next business day after calling. You must give AppleCare a credit card in case you don't return your existing iPhone within 10 days after the exchange under warranty is received. You use the same box to return your existing iPhone with the return shipping label located below the shipping label to you. AppleCare includes tape to reseal the box and a small paperclip to remove the SIM card from your existing iPhone. The phone number for the shipping carrier is included in the box. When the box is ready to be picked up to return your existing iPhone to Apple, you call the carrier.

Hi. I am just about to move from the UK to Kuwait. Will I have any problems using my iPhone 4 and able to join a local carrier using this device please?

If your phone is locked to a particular carrier, you must contact them to request they unlock it. Once they've taken care of that and you've followed the instructions to complete the unlock process, you will be able to use the phone elsewhere.

IMac will no longer connect to my Airport wireless network

I set up a wireless network at home using Airport Express some time ago, but as of yesterday my iMac will no longer connect to it. The name of the wireless network still appears in the list of visible networks but when I try to connect it just times out. The iMac is only about 12 feet away from the Airport Express access point, and both my MBP and my iPhone are both able to connect as normal without a problem, but the iMac will no longer connect. I have made no changes at all to the network, or the iMac - it just no longer connects. Any help would be much appreciated.
Jason.

If everything else is connecting with no issues, I would go into the wifi setting on the iPad and redo the info there, user, password and anything else related to your wifi at your house.
It is possible whatever he reset may have reset something to default setting which will not allow it to connect. If you need too then verify the wifi setting by comparing it with another device setting that works on your home network.
Good luck

No longer able to print from wireless MacBook Pro to wired C7280

I originally piggy-backed this onto an existing thread thinking that it was the same issue. It looks like it was something else now, so I figured I probably ought to spin this off onto its own thread.
Details:
Printer: Photosmart C7280 All-in-One, connected to network via Ethernet, IP address 192.168.1.5 (confirmed with Network Menu > View Network Settings > Display Wired Summary)
Router: Verizon/Actiontec MI424-WR (Verizon FiOS) with
* Ethernet ports
* 802.11b and 11g with WPA encryption
Desktop: iMac with Mac OS 10.5.8, Ethernet connection. I originally installed the HP software from the CD when we got the 7280 a few years ago, but we've probably upgraded it since then.
My Laptop: MacBook Pro with Mac OS 10.5.8, wireless connection. I think the HP software was originally downloaded from hp.com (as opposed to the original CD).
Wife's Laptop: MacBook with Mac OS 10.6.3, wireless connection. HP software downloaded from hp.com.
We've been able to print from the laptops to the 7280 until several days ago. After that, anything sent from the laptops stayed on the printer queue without any reaction from the printer, even after the usual tricks (cycling power on printers, holding and unholding jobs, pausing and unpausing printers, etc.)
Our laptops seem to lose the wireless connection a bit more frequently than normal, and at first I thought that was the problem. Lately, however, I can't get anything to print even when the wireless connection stays solid. I can print from the iMac, though.
As noted above, my wife's MacBook has 10.6.3, so I'll try the instructions on other threads for uninstalling the HP software and using the built-in 10.6 drivers. If I can pry the MacBook away from my wife long enough :-)
Meanwhile, I've been trying to troubleshoot my own MacBook Pro. I can ping 192.168.1.5, and I can pull up the printer's web page by entering "192.168.1.5" in my web browser.
So I followed the instructions here:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docnam e=c01893662&tmp_task=solveCategory&lc=en&dlc=en&c...
(title: Mac OS X: Print Jobs are Stuck in the Print Queue and Will Not Print on a Networked Product)
I followed Solution 1 (Delete and readd printer) until I got to steps 7 and 8. The printer wasn't automatically added to the Printers list, so I clicked the Add button, but wasn't able to select my printer from the list. Some of the information in Solution 2 seemed to hint that I had a connectivity problem, and suggested that I look for network connectivity solutions. Unfortunately, all of the network connectivity FAQs referred to Windows-specific utilities, so I decided to uninstall the HP software (using HP Uninstaller). I downloaded HP_Installer_PSC7200_v9.7.1.dmg from hp.com and ran it, but here's what happened:
At the Select Device step, no devices appeared even though the printer was powered up and on the network. (As noted earlier, I can ping it.) I checked "My device is not listed" and clicked Continue; when "Photosmart C7200 series" appeared, I selected it.
At the "Select the Device Connection" subset, I selected "Network." (The "device" in this question is the printer--right?)
I went through the Install step.
No device was listed at the Setup step. I handled this the same way as the Select Device step ("My device is not listed", Continue, click "Photosmart C7200 series", Continue, select "Network", Continue.
This time, I got this dialog: "If your device is not listed, it is not supported by this installer. Please visit www.hp.com/support to download an installer, if one is available" even though this was the correct installer for C7200 and Mac 10.5.
Am I overlooking something? What should I try next?
This question was solved.

It appears that the printer is OK and is on the network. Eventually you may want to set a static IP address for it, but let's get things working first.
The first thing I would try would be to reset the printing system on all the problem Macs:
- Sys Prefs, Print & Fax
- Right (control) click the print queue area and select Reset Printing System.
- Select the plus sign to re-add it. Look for the printer, select it and wait until the "Add" button becomes available. Click it.
If this does not do it there may be something going on with the router. I have a few ideas if this is required. Let me know.

Is my deactived 3g iPhone no longer able to access Wi-Fi?

We finally got tired of AT&T and switched to another cell provider. Is our 16gig iPhone 3G now basically useless? We get no Wi-Fi, it's shaded and inaccessible. We were hoping to use the phone as an iPod Touch whenever we have Wi-Fi access. Thanks.

Thanks for the link. I've been reading everything in the support pages. I did a Restore via iTunes and got the Wi-Fi back but only briefly. I connected and then got intermittent connection (I have Airport Extreme). Now my phone can't get past "Choose a network" and isn't seeing mine. Fixed one thing but discovered another. Still trying. At least I know I should be able to get it working. I was worried it might be related to deactivation of the phone account. I appreciate the assistance. If I get it working, I'll update. But so far I'm in limbo.

Why is my iPhone no longer able to communicate with adobe bridge cs3?

We have 2 iphone 4's that I have been able to download photos from and into my imac for the last year while using the adobe bridge cs3. Recently, it began giving me an error meassage: " Adobe bridge cs3 cannot obtain files from this device. Please ensure that the device is connected properly,or that the battery is charged, adn try again".
I did both and that message still pops up. My usb ports are working fine as well as the usb cords(as far as I know of) and the batteries are fully charged when I do so. So what is the deal here??? If anyone can please help I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks!!!

Maro,
I'm running VISTA on my PC. None of the suggestions solved the problem. I uninstalled iTunes removing all suggested files from another post and reinstalled iTunes 11.1.3 and removed the iTunes Ibarra from my iPhone Remote. I restarted the computer, iPhone & router. I added the iTunes library to my iPhone remote. I didn't get an icon on the menu bar of the iTunes on the PC but a dialog came up asking for the code which was on my phone. I typed in the code and the library showed up on my iPhone Remote. I selected it and got an error message that it couldn't connect. This is extremely weird and frustrating. What should I do now?

ITunes on my iphone no longer connects to my airport express

My macbook air (OS10.8.5) connects to the airport express without any problems. My iphone 4S (OS8.1) has lost the connection.No idea with which update, i just noticed. All three are on the same WIFI network. I turned the airport and iphone off and on a few times. What else could I try?
Thanks!

Hello Ingrid,

IPhone no longer connects to my AirPort Extreme wifi

So I looked around...
I waited for ios6 for a potential fix on this...
I still can't connect to my home Wifi from my iphone4
Set up:
AIrport extreme as main router
Extended with an airport express
What have I tried...
Well starting with the easiest
Restored the phone from factory
Reset network
Forget network, start again
Airplane mode
Extreme settings
Turned off security, still nothing
Changed the channels from automatic to manual
Turned on 5ghz
From wap 2 personnel to other
Turned off the express
Tried various combinations of network type, n, g etc...
I am out of ideas....
It the house we have a Mac Pro, a pc, 2 iPads, and an iPhone 4S. All are good
Just that iPhone 4. Started 3 weeks ago
ARGH!!!!!!!!!

not much response in here which surprises me...
Anyway... AS I am still looking for answers, I will share a couple of points that I realised...
in Airport Utility, I noticed that my iphone MAC address was actually showing as client connected, despite my phone network showing the spinning wheel next to the network name for ever and never actually connecting.
I am currently testing the router mode in Network to be on DHCP and NAT mode with a range from .2 to .200
My phone is now connected....
Everything seems to be ok and happy so far...
strange that this router and phone have worked together for at least a couple of years, the phone works everywhere else, and all other toys connect to my WIFI just fine. the list is as follow:
airport extreme
Zeppelin air
2x apple tv
2 ipads
iphone 4s
2 mac
1 pc
I have litterally just hard reset the router with a pin just now as a last resort... same...
I will leave the router as DHCP & NAT until a potential firmware or OS update...

My iPad no longer able to print via wireless

My HP Photosmart 5514 has been working great now it won't print except by email HP ePrint! I can no longer print straight from Pages or Photos. All my connections are good. Why won't it print? I am using iPhone Personal Hotspot as router between my iPad and HP Photosmart 5514. Is it the printer software upgrade I recently downloaded?
This question was solved.

Janet4dPlanet,
When you try to print from your iPad what does it say ? Does it find your printer and just not print out or does it say "no air print printers found"?
If I helped you at all it would be great if you clicked the blue kudos star!

IMac no longer able to see HP wireless Printer

My iMac, which I update regularly can no longer see my HP Photosmart 5510d wireless printer.
OS X V10.9.5 2.7 Ghz Intel Core i5, 8 GB 1600 Mhz DDR3
It was working fine until a week or two ago and now it can't see it.
I printed out my printer network summary page, deleted the printer and tried to re-add the printer using its IP Address but it says it couldn't see the IP Address. I also entered the IP Address in safari and same result.
I have rebooted my router, my computer, went through the Wireless Setup Wizard on the HP printer etc... but still cannot see the IP Address.
Any others having a similar issue -- wondering if it was an update I took on my iMac.

Hi ..
Instead of connecting via the IP, set up via Wi-Fi.

Check to see if your printer is AirPrint compatible.

No longer able to print via wireless network

I have an HP OfficeJet 6500A Plus E710N and have had it connected to my wifi network and working properly for some time now. Recently, print jobs would queue up and nothing would print b/c it said the printer could not be found on the network.
I deleted the printer from my print preferences and tried to reconnect, but I can't see the printer on the network.
I have powered off the printer, reset the wifi conncetion (printer still sees router), and properly entered the WEP key.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

I inadvertently changed my networks name from "esteroal" to HOME-5022. Both were listed thru EWS. Now I can no longer access my printer network or EWS since I have no IP address for the new network (HOME-5022). HELP

Clients not able to join more 256 nos

Hi
We have using wireless controller CISCO 2125 with 8 nos LWAP 1252, including AP's getting the IP from windows DHCPserver (172.29.70.0/23), when clients reaches 256 nos in controller , then further not able to join in wireless network.
DHCP vendor class or user class will solve this issue. pl guide me .
thanks
Karthik

Well, it's totally expected then as it's the maximum amount of clients supported by the 2125.
If you have that amount of client you should look into having more APs and a more powerful WLC. That limit is not just there for marketing purpose. It looks like your network is under-powered compared to its real usage.

Nicolas
