Iphone Wi-fi not auto connecting (this time)

Usually it does every day I come home from work, it will auto connect to my wireless network without me having to do anything.
Today I was down the block and out of range of my wifi network, it tried to connect to another wifi network in which i denied access to it. Then it switched to "E" edge.
When I got home, right next to the wifi router, it was still showing an "E", so I was wondering why it didnt auto connect to the router. - So i went into general settings, and it searched and found my network, and I tapped the SSID Name of my network and joined with no problem.
My wifi is encrypted and you need a password to access it, everything is stored in my iphone, and it connected.
Was wondering why it didnt auto-connect, especialy if my setting in the iphone is set to auto connect to my trusted network..
weird.. Im thinking, because I hit deny to not connect to that network down the block, that it was also denying my Trusted network when I got home.
Possible bug?

Try shutting down the iphone by holding the sleep/wake button at the top until you see slide to power off. then hold to turn the iphone back on.
If the iphone does not auto-connect.
You might want to try the following.
go into settings > wifi
choose your network and tap on forget network.
turn the iphone off and back on again.
then set up your network connecting again.
Hope this helps

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

Restore the iPhone when connected to iTunes by cable.
Still the same TS1275?
Is your iPhone jailbroken?
Or
Has your computer ever been used to jailbrake or downgrade (Tinyumbrella) any iPhone?

My iPhone 4 has lost SIM connection several times over the past week when the phone is left on continually. I have had the SIM checked and it was not the source of the problem. I have found that I can reactivate the SIM by switching the phone off and on.

I have found that I can reactivate the SIM by switching the phone off and on again. Has anyone else experienced this problem and if so, is there an easy fix. I have been advised by Apple that the latest IOS update may overcome this situation but I'm only on slow download speeds and 690 Mb would take forever. I would appreciate any advice.
Best regards,
Rob.

Did you check your security software settings on your computer? iTunes has to be able to contact Apple servers during the update process:

If you are trying to update your phone over the air, try to use your computer and iTunes instead.

Iphone 6 plus: Status not available at this time

I Pre-ordered my Iphone 6 plus 16gb space gray. The morning of the pre-order being available. First it told me a date of 10/14 for delivery. One day later it changes saying that the date is not available at this time. Is there anyone at Verizon that can look this up for me. It is pretty pointless to have a pre-order that does not actually come out on release day.
Thanks
Dylan

DylanN6695, I'm sorry for the confusion with your ship date. I have sent you a direct message. Please reply to the direct message so I can review your order status.

I imagine millions upon millions of people are attempting to download and install it right now. Simple patience, maybe keep trying, and if possible, try a little later. Think of it as all those people lining up at Apple Stores + a few million more.

does this only happen at your home network or with multiple networks?
have you tried everything here? http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1398

TS1398 Since I upgraded to iOS 7.0.2 my phone will not auto-connect to the home WiFi network.

I upgraded my iPhone 4S to iOS 7.0.2 and now my phone will not auto-connect to the home wifi network. Each time I leave and return to within range of the network I have to remember to manually connect, otherwise it continues to use 4G for data. The credentials are saved (all I have to do is tap it to connect) but just won't happen automatically any more.
Is anyone else seeing this problem?

Tried the reset multiple times. No go. Before the IOS 7.0,2 update my devices were connecting to home WIFI eventually.

Iphone 4 does not stay connected to my network

Since upgrading to 6.1, my iPhone 4 does not stay connected to my network. I have to input my password each time I leave my house. My other devices stay connected, so the issue is with the upgrade. Has anyone found a way to keep their IPhone connected to their network? Thanks.

I don't have another phone to try. I took out the sim to check for deffects but it looked fine. Cleaned the sim card with alcohol and cleaned the aim compartment. Phone didn't loose Internet connection all day yesterday, but this morning went to check emails and wouldn't update until I turned airplane mode on then off again.

My iPhone 5 will not automatically connect to my home wifi

My wifes iPhone 5 will not automatically connect to our home wifi, she has to log in each time (she has ios 6.1.4). Mine, however will connect automatically with no issues (we have same phone and ios). Here is what I have done so far to fix the issue and none have worked:
* I have reboted (hold home button and sleep/wake button)
* I have reset the network connections
* I have turned "ask to join" on, connected to the network, turned wifi off and then back on, it did not connect to the wifi
* I have manually connected to the network through the manual option, turned wifi off and then back on, it did not connect to the wifi
* I have erased all content and data and resored the backup from iTunes
* I have restored iPhone from iTunes and restored the backup from iTunes
My phone does not list a "forget this network" as an option on the wifi connection when I pull it up, so this is not an option. So, what else is there to fix the issue?

Hi there Huskerscott!
I have some information here that can help you troubleshoot this issue:
Unable to automatically connect to Wi-Fi
Avoid giving your Wi-Fi network a common name.
Some wireless routers are preconfigured with a common SSID (network name) such as "wireless" or "default."
If your desired Wi-Fi network has a common SSID, try changing the SSID to something unique2.
If your desired Wi-Fi network has a unique SSID, reset network settings 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.

iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections

It also may be helpful to follow these settings, which are optimal for use with iOS and OS X devices:

I am getting a message that "my podcasts are not available at this time" Second day this has happened, i have synced phone many times. what is going on?

I am getting a message on my iphone 5 for the last two days saying that " my podcasts are not available at this time"-any ideas of what this could mean? I have synced phone many times. Is it itunes? My carrier?
thanks

I just figured out a solution. I connected my ipod to my computer, went to the 'info' tab on the menu for my ipod. I checked 'Sync Mail Accounts', which were greyed out until I selected them. That connected me to the Cloud and everything went back to normal. Hope this helps someone else!
