IPhone not connecting to the Internet during setup. This means I cannot backup from iCloud. Help!
Hi,
I was having some issues with my iPhone. I went to the apple store and was told that I was experiencing common software issues and that the best thing I could do is restore my phone to factory settings and then restore from iCloud.
I successfully restore my phone to factory settings, however now I am trying to set up my phone, I cannot connect to wifi and as you know wifi is needed in order to restore backup from iCloud. I do not have an iTunes backup so iCloud is the only option for me.
I am at a complete loss. Please can somebody help!
It only has one Ethernet output and all the devices do connect to the Internet when the switch is out the equation they are hooked up directly through the modem.
You have a simple cable modem that must connect to a router with 3-4 Ethernet ports, then you can connect an Ethernet switch to the router, or if the router has enough Ethernet ports, you can connect directly to the router.
This could be an inexpensive wired only router and you could plug the Express into one of the ports to provide wireless for your network.
Unfortunately, you really need an AirPort Extreme or similar product, since the AirPort Express cannot do what you need without another wired only router.
Be sure to reset the modem and power it off for 10-15 minutes before you connect it to the new router.

WRT54GS Not Connecting to the PC During Setup
Someone please Help me!!
I Have a laptop im trying to set up wirelessly through this Router and having problems.
When following the setup disc it keeps coming up that it cant find the router although i have followed the instructions and have them connected via the network cable..
Any Help anyone.. please?
Louis RWhat is the IP address you are getting on this PC? Check if you can ping to this router with its IP address (default IP: 192.168.1.1) if not then try resetting it for 1 min by pressing the reset button. Once you get the ping then you can try configuring the router.

Help please. Anyone has a way of tracking my ipod touch 5 even offline. had all my 3000 pics from this vacation here in the US. I had some apps....anyone please. The Find my ipod is notable to lock or locate because is offline....HELP PLEASE I will take any advice... It was stolen in a McDonalds that had wireless but was not connected...
I'm an plug and play, aka, intuative Apple OS "cooler", or a guy that has been most likely to "tilt" even the most bug free Apple software and maybe even hardware, and unqualified to give advice, except for the fact that I had my iPad and then my iPhone boosted a year ago. May I ask, did you ever log in to your app; "Find my iPhone" and go through the registration process? If you did, you would have had to have registered it into "mobileme" or the ancestor of mm, the name escapes me, or you would have had to "iCloud it", the implications of which, I'm just barely scratching the surface (<--ADHD) but that's the kind of thing I would have, and did do, even though I didn't have a clue, what it was for, or understand how to incorperate it into my resources at the time, I'm just a "register here" factory, that registers first and askes questions later. If you did this, I suspect you may have a reason to hope a a GPS kite string that millions of theft targets like us are longing to see, return your device, for Christ Sakes! i do know that, if you did you, can access the signal blip, location from any smart device, with internet access and your log in/password, that you will need to remember, track down, or if all else fails, ask Support to assist, by in my case jogging my memory, until it came to my low watt brain, the log in id, I had used.
Boy what a lot of blather, hope it was helpful, somehow, my point was that Cloud is the modern MobileMe, and it's prediscessor. Mozl Tov! -

Somebody restored the iPod
- If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
- You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
- If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
- Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
- There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it.
- Apple will do nothing without a court order

Actually I cannot access my home wifi from my laptop or cell anymore either.
I reset the modem and router about 10 times and called my ISP who said there's no problem on their end.
I've tried everything I can think of. Any advice?Make Sure iOS is updated to the latest version
Reboot the device by pressing and holding down the home and sleep/wake buttons (power) at the same time until the apple logo appears on the screen, then let go.
If that doesn't work then reset the device by going to settings/general/reset/reset all settings
If that doesn't work, then update iTunes on computer, backup device to iTunes, then restore the device.

My ipad recognizes my home network but will not connect to the internet. When I click on AirPort/preferences at the top of the imac screen it says..."AirPort has a self-assigned ip address and may not connect to the internet". If this is the root of the problem,how can I change ip address?
Ipad will connect no problem to other networks.First thing you need I think is to get your iMac connected to the Internet.
Shut down your iMac and you iPad. Then power off your router. Wait 30 seconds and power up the router.
After the router indicates that it is connected to the Internet then start up your iMac and see if it connects. If the iMac connects to the Internet then your iPad should too.
If this power up sequence doesn't work you'll have to dig into the router setup to make sure it is working properly. -

Friends,
I'm having some audio-midi setup problems on my G4/1.25/10.5.1 machine. I'm thinking that a routine OS upgrade might help. However, this machine is not connected to the internet. Are there any alternate methods for upgrading system software? Thanks in advance!OK, what you should do is download the updates on another machine and burn them to a disc. Start at this link http://support.apple.com/downloads/#leopard for downloads and find, among other things, the 10.5.8 combo updater that works on PPC machines, plus security, QuickTime and other updates. Going from 10.5.1 to 10.5.8, there will probably be a bunch of things that you should install. Being off the internet with the machine, you can't have Software Update sort it out, so something might get missed, unfortunately.
My suggestion is this: if it looks like you might need a download, get it onto that disc. -
I recently purchased an iPhone 5c and for some unknown reason I can't connect to my wireless router's network at home. I've tried establishing a seperate IP address, manually adding the iPhone device, and even spent an hour with Centurylink's IT support and they couldn't figure it out. They said it was an iPhone error. I had an iPhone 3 about 1 1/2 years ago that had the same problem. I ended up getting rid of the phone because I couldn't solve this problem before. I thought a newer phone would not have the same problem.
My phone shows that I'm connected to my home internet, but when I open up network information for my home internet there is no IP Address listed. Safari and my other apps also state that I'm not connected to the internet. I'm ready to sell my phone back and go to an Android since I didn't have trouble connecting with it before. We also have a Macbook and iPad that both connect to the internet just fine. Please....oh please help.I was having the same problem; I tried all the recommended fixes in the "more like this" and nothing worked, but finally found the answer.

i connect my iphone to my pc and i tunes open automatically,then i press dowload and update but itunes say am not connected to the internet while my pc is connected to the internet what isi the problem?
If you are the only user on your computer you probably don't have multiple user accounts set up and can disregard that. If you are using iTunes 11 go to View>Show Sidebar. Now see if your iPad appears under Devices on the left side when you connect it. If it does, click on the name of your iPad on the left side and your iTunes sync settings options will appear in folders with tabbed headings to the right.
If it doesn't appear on the left side, follow the troubleshooting steps shown in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538. -
Dear Apple,
Please help me to find my iPad Air 2 64 GB and iPhone 5C 8GB. They're in IOS 8.0 maybe...I lost all of them last night.

I want to catch the thief to the police so bad because they keep my bag and many other important things. I can not do anything without them. Please help me and contact me via my email or my phone.
