  • IPhone 4 not connecting to WiFi while other iDevices are!

    My mum's iPhone 4 8GB is being extremely tempermental, If I'm 1 or 2 meters near the router, It'll connect. If i move away it loses signal. My other iDevices(iPod Touch, iPad ) can still get reception from the other side of the house which is a good 25 meters away from the router.
    Anyone encountered this problem before? Any solutions
    Btw, it's relatively new and has had the fault since it was brought. My mums just been to lazy to go to book an appointment at the genius bar.

    Hello HeatherO,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    From your post I understand that you are connected to your Wi-Fi network but are unable to access the internet.  It is possible you may have a self-assigned IP address from your modem/router.  Take a look at the information below for troubleshooting steps.
    Unable to access the Internet while connected to Wi-Fi
    If you're using a public or commercial network, you may need to log in or subscribe.
    Check to see if you have a self-assigned IP address:
    Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and locate the Wi-Fi network to which you're connected and tap .
    If your IP address is 169.254.xxx.xxx, you may not be able to access the Internet.
    If you do not have a self-assigned IP address, see if other Wi-Fi devices on your network have Internet access.
    If they do not, consult with your network administrator or ISP for further assistance.
    If they do, reset network settings on your device by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Note: This will reset all network settings including:
    previously connected Wi-Fi networks and passwords
    recently used Bluetooth accessories
    VPN and APN settings

  • Iphone not accepting home wifi password

    woke up this morning to find my iphone prompting me to enter my home network password. i entered it and rec'd an 'unable to join' message. my wife's iphone, our two laptops and our wii were all connecting to the network fine. i did all the normal resetting of network settings, rebooted the router, hard restart of the iphone etc and still no luck entering the password. changed the router security from WEP to WPA2 and generated a new password...all the other devices in the house accepted the new password and are working fine but my phone still gives me the 'unable to join' error. any other suggestions for a fix?

    christine, i would recommend checking your router security settings and make sure you have WPA2 security enabled, not WEP. if you 'upgrade' to WPA2 from WEP, you will need to generate a new password. the next step would be to reset your router--there should be a 'hole' in the back where you stick a paper clip or pen tip-hold it in there for 10-15 seconds. after this, it will probably take a few minutes for the router to start broadcasting again. try connecting your iphone again once it finds the signal.

  • Using iphone 4 only for wifi while traveling?

    Traveling abroad and want to turn off the phone (3g) while abroad and only use it for wi-fi..Anyone know how to do it?

    Let me pick your brain on this one..is there a way to make one folder to put various emails in that come from different sources..ie..yahoo, personal domain, me.com? I would like to keep some hotel confirmation number letters, invoices , boarding info. etc. and keep them all in one place together for a trip abroad.

  • C3-00 Mail is not working with Wifi

    I have Nokia C3-00, Its good set but the problem appeared when i tried to use my office Wifi connection in my mobile. Email and communities are not working with Wifi while messenger and browsing is very good with Wifi. However i have used Mail option (gmail, hotmail, yahoo) with my mobile GPRS connection that is working fine but not with Wifi. GPRS is very costly and i want to use office Wifi with my mobile to use email application. Please help me out. Thanks Adnan 

    There was an issue with messaging in the original software on the C3, so make sure that you are up-to-date. To check your software version try *#0000#
    Latest software release for Nokia C3-00 is 08.63
    Your service provider may not have the latest nokia version available, but make sure you have the most recent you can get.

    One thing that might help.
    1. open itunes preferences from the edit menu and click on the devices tab.
    2. check the box to disable syncing for iphones connected to itunes and click ok.
    3. Then click the button to reset sync history.
    4. Now click ok to close the preferences window.
    5. connect the iphone to itunes and go to the info tab.
    6. scroll to the bottom of the info page and check the box to replace the ical data on the iphone.

  • Exchange 2010 - iPhone will work in Wifi but not ATT 3g

    Hello Everyone,
    This is my first time posting, but I'm desparate!
    I have an Exchange 2010 environment at our CoLo (not on site). I can connect to it on my iPhone 4 on ANY wifi network (home, work, etc), but if I connect to it via ATT 3g - no dice. I'm pretty sure it's a DNS issue, but there's no way for me to see what ATT DNS servers are returning. Anyone else have this problem? Does anyone know how long ATT caches DNS queries? Thanks in advance!
    EDIT: It's totally DNS. I cannot hit OWA in safari either while on ATT, but again it works on WIFI everywhere. I setup DNS a little less than 24 hours ago, so I'm surprised that ATT is still having issues with it... Now I wonder if I can call ATT and see if they can flush the cached queries >.<

    EDIT 2: Of course ATT was useless. Tried to transfer me away from them (to Apple and even Microsoft lol). I guess it's just a waiting game to see if their DNS servers get with the program...

  • Has anyone found a solution to iphone not detecting wifi?

    I have read so many posts from people who's iphone's cannot find wifi networks but not found anyone who has solved the problem. Surely there must be a solution?
    I was in the Apple store last week and asked one of the staff had they seen this problem before and she said no. She must think I am stupid or wet behind the ears still. It seems a serious flaw in the iphone.
    I do love the iphone mind you.
    Anyway, has anyone managed to find a way to solve this problem?
    Thanks in advance.

    If you are having issues connecting, work through the steps in Troubleshooting iOS and WiFi.  While there do seem to be a number of users having WiFi issues, it is more of an individual issue than a universal issue.  The vast majority of us have no issues with iOS 6.1.2 and WiFi connectivity.  Those with issues need to work through the troubleshooting steps carefully.  They also need to note if this is a single WiFi network that is a problem or is it all networks.  If all networks the iPhone needs to visit an Apple store genius bar for testing by the techs.

  • TS1398 I have just purchased an iPad mini and it will not join my wifi. It detects my wifi network but will not join. I have a Mac, 2 iPhones and an iPad 4 and all work perfectly. The new iPad mini just won't behave. Any ideas?

    I have purchased an iPad mini and it will not join my wifi network. Any ideas?

    Some things to try first:
    1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

  • Iphone 5 in recovery mode while trying to upgrade to v 7.1.2 over wifi

    I tried to update my Iphone 5 software over wifi.
    On doing so the phone went into recovery mode after showing just 30% download on the bar and has been stuck the same way for past 2 hours.
    What can I do to make it work again?

    You should put it in real recovery mode, it's seems, it's not the case.
    Here is a link http://www.netchimp.co.uk/webdesign/iphone-ipad-ipod-touch-tips/unlock-iphone-fo rgot-passcode-synced-itunes/
    The procedure is normaly to hold on power and home button while plugged to your computer. (Section 2 of the link)
