IPhone will not connect to Time Capsule Wi_Fi

After replacing my Airport Express with a Time Capsule, I cannot get my IPhone or wireless printer to find the Wi-Fi signal

Use simple SMB type names for the wireless, short, no spaces .. pure alphanumeric.
Use WPA2 Personal security.
Lock the radio channels used.. particularly by 2.4ghz.. 1, 6, 11 try each in turn.

My iMac will not connect to time capsule used as base station in my roaming network

I have a network that is made of up a Time capsule as a base station and 3 airport express's used to extend my wifi coverage. It is setup as a roaming network with each express hardwired to the base time capsule. I have a iMac that will not connect to the base station, it will only connect to one of the remote express's. The iMac is next to the base satation. Other mac notebooks, iPhone or iPads all connect to the base station when they are near it. Only my iMac will not connect to it. Any suggestions as to why this is happening or steps I can take to fix this.

Hello FoxFamilyVA
Check out the first article below to go through some troubleshooting options to get your iMac to connect to your Time Capsule. I would go through and remove it from the list of known networks that you join and then add it back in. I would also recommend that you try and create a new Network Location to see if there is an issue with your current configuration.

Iphone 5 not connecting to time capsule

Hey guys, i have a time capsule which my iMac has no problem connecting to my wireless network. However recentley i have been unable to connect my iPhone 5 or my iPad 2 to the network. When i select the network in my wifi settings on the phone the pinwheel just spins next to it and never puts the little check mark next to the network name. Why can i connect with my desktop but not my mobile devices?

Two iPhone 4s not connecting to Time Capsule

Hello,
We have a Time Capsule in our office and both my boss and myself are unable to connect to it via our iPhone 4s. I got mine on release day and he bought his last week. We have both tried resetting network settings and restarting, but to no avail.
Additionally, we set up the Guest network on the Time Capsule and attempted to connect to that, but it still didn't work. The iPhones are both on iOS 4.2.1, but this problem existed on 4.1 as well, the Time Capsule is also up-to-date. Other devices such as a MacBook Air and several Windows machines are able to connect via both wired and wireless connections without issues.
Is there any reason why these 2 iPhones are unable to connect to the Time Capsule?
Thanks,
Daniel Samuels.

Time Machine will not connect to Time Capsule

Hi All,
I have run into a problem that is completely perplexing me, so I'm looking for some kind help.
Here's the set up:
At home we have two macs, one is an older PowerBook G4 on 10.5.8, the other is a MacBook Pro on 10.6.8. Everything is working perfectly on the MacBook Pro, so that's sort of the control machine. Everything was working perfectly on the PowerBook until about two days ago.
We have a first generation Time Capsule that we use both as our Time Machine backup disk and as our wireless router.
Connecting to the wireless router part of the Capsule works perfectly (I'm using it as I write this post). Using the Finder to manually load the shared network drive from within the Time Capsule, also works perfectly. I can connect to the Time Capsule with the Airport Utility and set all the settings to my hearts delight.
The problem comes when I open up my "Time Machine" preferences and try to choose the disk as my backup disk. Two days ago I got a new external Firewire drive that I keep offsite in my office to have a back up there. So when I got the new drive I plugged it in, went to the Time Machine preferences, changed the disk and it did a back up to the new disk. Then when I got home I tried to change the Time Machine back up disk back to the Time Capsule disk and it just won't do it.
I see the Time Capsule disk in the list of available disks, I choose it, it asks for my password, but then when I click "OK" I get an error that says:
Connection failed. There was an error connecting to the server. Check the server name or IP address and try again. If you are unable to resolve the problem contact your system administrator.
This obviously is quite perplexing to me because I clearly can connect to the backup disk since I can do it from the Finder. I have tried restarting everything multiple times. I have tried trashing my com.apple.TimeMachine.plist. None of that seemed to help, so I'm looking for some other suggestions. As I said the MacBook Pro is working just fine, so I'm thinking that there must be some setting on the PowerBook that is getting screwed up for some reason.
Thanks,
Q

I am having the exact same problem. My MacBook connects to the Time Capsule just fine and is able to view the files stored on the Time Capsule, but the MacMini doesn't. The MacMini "connects" to the Time Capsule, in the sense that it can use the connection to surf the web but in the Finder it says connection failed when I try to browse for files stored on the Time Capsule.
Is reloading the OS the only solution?
Thanks

Imac connects to time capsule through wifi but ipad and iphone will not connect

I just installed the new Airport Time Capsule. My Imac connects fine through wifi bit my ipad and iphone will not connect to the wifi. They appear in the wifi settings in the devices but will not connect. I have reset modem and time capsule and tried forget network and nothing is working. ANy assistance would be appreciated. Thanks

So I called apple support being fairly certain that I wasn't going to be able to fix this over the phone but essentially, it now works flawlessly with my iOS devices. Here is what I did.
I have a Motorola cable modem surfboard 6421.
I reset my network settings to dhcp and NAT from the default bridge only mode which the tech said only allows one device to connect at a time. Considering my MBA was already connected to the AE, that would explain why my other iOS devices wouldn't connect. After I changed the settings for the network to DHCP and NAT, the router restarted. I then disconnected the power and coaxial cable from the cable modem and reconnected it and once everything came back up, all devices connected fine. Good throughout and signal. Hope this helps.

My iphone will not connect to my wifi only just started to do this the last 2 days i have tryed resetting network settings sometimes my wifi will turn on other times it will not could u plz help ?

my iphone will not connect to my wifi only just started to do this the last 2 days sometimes the wifi turns on other time no often then not it will not turn on could u help ?

Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.
If the problem is still not resolved, take the device to Apple for evaluation and possible replacement.
Verizon does not provide hardware support, taking the device to them would be a waste of time.

My ipod was connecting to my home wi-fi just fine until I uploaded new music from my Itunes on my laptop. Now my ipod and my iphone will not connect to my wireless network. I've tried resetting the network settings etc... Nothing seems to work. Help!

Does the iOS devices connect to other networks?
Does the iOS devices 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 the 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 make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
Since both iPhone and iPod stopped connecting I suspect a problem with your network.

Iphone will not connect to Internet without WIFI connection

My iphone will not connect to the internet without a wifi connection.
I have restored the settings many times. But i still have this problem.
I get a message on safari which says 'could not activate celluar data network'
what do i do?

If you have restored your iPhone with iTunes from your iPhone's backup and as a new iPhone or not from your iPhone's backup with no change, have you contacted O2? Your line may need to be reset by O2, which will involve turning your iPhone off whole O2 does the reset at the server, or possibly there is a problem with your SIM card.

Hi Folks!
I've had spotty connection to wifi since I upgraded to iOS 4.0 with a little improvement with iOS 4.0.2. Yesterday I updated to iOS 4.1 and I am getting no connection at all.
I've rebooted several times and reset the network settings, all to no avail.
Any other ideas?
Thanks!

IPhone will not connect to Linksys WAG54G Wi-Fi

I can not get my iPhone to connect through my wireless router. I have even tried a reset on my router. My laptop works fine, but my iPhone will not connect. I can see the connection, but i get an 'Unable to join the network' message each time i try to connect.

Nothing on the phone can be changed to make it work unless a Software update was released to fix whatever was preventing a proper connection.
Can you connect to any WiFi networks at all? If so then it does isolate it to something with the router.
Based on what you said. You go to Settings - WiFi - You see your network, Tap on it. And Unable to Join?
So you never get a check-mark by the network name?
If you do actually get a check-mark next to your network, tap on the Blue circle. Would be interesting to see what the IP address started with.
Based on what you said when you disabled security, Did the iPhone no longer show a Padlock next to the WiFi network?
Also try changing the SSID sometimes that oddly works.

Iphone will not connect to icloud.

iphone will not connect to icloud. I get a verification failed box that says The connection to icloud timed out. I am connected to wifi. My photo stream on my pc hasn't updated for months. The last time anything was uploaded to my photo stream on my computer was back in mid August. I don't know what to do. My photo stream on both the PC and my iphone is set to automatic. My photos should transfer over when there is a wifi connection. I'm not sure what is going on. I have tried turning the photo stream on and off on both my pc and iphone to try to reset it. I have changed the destination folder for my photo stream hoping that my photos will repopulate. Nothing has worked. When I go to my settings and icloud, my iphone just will not connect. I constantly get a verification failed box. I don't know what is going on. I'm extremely frustrated. My iphone 5 has been updated to to ios 8.1 and my PC has icloud 4.0.

You don't have too many devices. You should be able to connect to icloud as long as you go to Settings>iCloud and sign in using the correct ID and password - are you absolutely sure you are using the right ones???

After the ios 7 update, my iphone will not connect to my iMac iTunes because "it requires iTunes version 11.1 or later." but my iTunes says all software is up to date...can anyone help??

iPhone will not connect to my iTunes. I am running iTunes version 10.6.3 on my iMac runing Mac OS X version 10.5.8. All of my updates say "up to date" but this is obviously not the case. Can anyone help me out?

Hi,
Your iTunes is up to date for your OS X.
iTunes 11 requires in intel mac running OS X 10.6.8 or later. If your computer is compatible you will need to purchase Snow Leopard upgrade from Apple store.

My iphone will not connect to wifi no matter what i try.HELP

my iphone will not connect to wifi no matter what HELP

Have you tryed to restore the iPhone too ?
Restore the phone in iTunes using a backup, and if needed as a new iPhone, without using a backup. However, the greyed out WiFi is often due to a hardware failure requiring replacement of the phone.
