Iphone with home wifi network connection
says unable to join network when I try to manually join wifi at home
I have the same problem and called Apple. The first perrson I spoke to said he hadn't heard about this BUT he put me on to a senior tech who said Apple definitely knows about this problem and he asked me all kinds of questions about my home system. He said that mine was the first case he'd encountered where the iPhone 5 wouldn't connect to a Time Capsul but I don't believe that for a second. So if you, too, have this problem, please post what kind of router you are using. I'm sure Apple is monitoring this issue, or at least I hope they are. I am so angry at myself for buying this phone. Apple should be ashamed of themselves for selling it when it is not ready for the marketplace. This problem deserves to be reported by the press.

Trouble connecting iPhones to home wifi network
Hi, I posted this over in the Airport discussions a few days ago and have them stumped so they recommended I bring it over here.
I'm having all sorts of trouble trying to get my iPhone and iPad to connect to my new Airport Express. I know the network I set up is working because my iMac and Appletv work fine with it, so the trouble is finding out why the others won't connect. When I select my wifi network on the phone the circle starts spinning around while it tries to connect, but it just keeps going and going and never really connects.
I have tried resetting everything, renewing leases, forgetting networks and rejoining them, changed network name and password, all with no avail.
I used to have the old AE that plugged straight into the outlet (hardly ever had problems with it either until it broke, and all devices worked fine with it) and I just bought the latest AE with the cord and dual ports. It is currently running the latest 7.6.4 but I can only downgrade to 7.6.3 which it came with.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!And after updating your firmware did you restart your router, computer, and iPhone and try again?

My iPhone 4s will not connect with my home WiFi network. I have ios6 on my iPhone. The connection was working perfectly before I updated my IMac and my MacBook Pro to ios 10.8.2. I have had ios6 since I purchased the phone a couple of months ago. It searches for a network and finds them, but when it asks for my password, it will not accept the password. Have never had this happen before.
Hello krosebear,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

My iphone 4S is not able to connect to my home wifi network (BSNL). It does detect it and even tries to connect to it but in vain. However, it connects to all other available networks easily. Another interesting thing is that all other devices including an iphone 4 easily connects to this home network. So what is the problem with iphone 4S???
There are two ends to a wireless network. Try rebooting your router. Just pull the power for a few seconds and replug. No settings are lost.
(The fact that all your other devices connect to the internet is irrelevant) -
Share Imac's wifi network connection with iphone
Now I have a problem that is contrary to all I have seen so far. My Imac is often with me in places where I can have wifi network if I declare my MAC address in advance. When I am there, I often want to have network on my Iphone as well, but cannot share that connection because wifi is already used for getting into the net. How can I do access the internet from my Iphone (example: skype or Viber calls from abroad to home) in such situations?
Sorry for:
being so late (I had lost the pointer to this discussion due to a massive change in my machinery)
havig written iMac instead of MacbookPro. I was writing my post from my iMac at home...
However, I do know that every device has got a unique MAC address, and I do know the MAC address of my iPhone. My iPhone is connected to my home Wifi network, which allows access only to devices known by their MAC address.
My problem was that I only got ONE MAC address to declare, eventhough I had two devices. So, I could not directly connect my iPhone to that network, but I could connect my MacBookPro (because I needed the network to resume documents during meeting, and so on). I just wanted my iPhone being able to access the network, even if tethered to my MacBookPro (or, even better, without connecting it physically), but I was not able to do that. I can imagine that from my MacBook I could share the Internet connection via Bluetooth, and I tried that way, but there was no way to couple the iPhone on the Bluetooth connection to do anything significant. Also with the physical connection (cable), I did not see any way to share my network access on my MacBook.
I hope I was clear this time.. -

I am trying to set up home sharing between my iphone 4s and mac which is running itunes 11. Both are connected to my home wifi network and using the same apple id but on the iphone app it says 'Turn on Home sharing in iTunes on your computer or apple tv using account ***
Does anybody have suggestions as to why this is the case?Understanding Home Sharing - Support - Apple
Hope this helps. -
My iPad2 no longer connects to my home wifi network but there is no problem connecting to other saved wifi networks. Currently using iOS8.0.2. with storage capacity of 12.2Gb but only 147Mb free. Disconnecting the router and rebooting the iPad worked briefly as a temporary fix but not anymore
You could try this
Temporarily disable security on your home network
See if the iPad connects
If it does then reset the security - with the same or different password -
I'm having trouble with back to my MAC. I had everything working on my home wifi network but now I am at my daughter's house and trying to connect via a verizon hotspot wifi connection. I'm wondering if the Verizon hookup is a problem.
I finally figured it out. Needed to update her Airport firmware and allow guest access, and also changed Sharing preferences to Allow Access for All Users.

Why can't I connect to my home WiFi network with my new iPad Mini?
Why can't I connect to my home WiFi network with my new iPad Mini when I can connect to free WiFi networks at cafes and public areas?
Try this:
1. Turn router off for 30 seconds and on again
2. Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings -
trying to connect my iphone 4 to my home wifi network! my android phone gives me the option of pushing the arrows button on my router and on my android phone but cannot find the "push the arrows button" option on my iphone 4. is this option available?? and if so, where is it located???
No such option on an iPhone. Just go to Settings>wifi, tap the name (SSID) of your your home network from the list, then when prompted, enter the password.

My iPhone 3G won't display or connect to my home wifi network
Hello!
I have an old iPhone 3G that my dad gave me a long time ago. It had some problems, but I figured that's just 'cause it's old. But now I really don't know. One of its biggest (and only) problems is that it refuses to connect to my home wifi network. In fact, when I go to Settings > WiFi, it won't even display my network (it did once, but failed to actually connect), or any network, actually. I found once that in Settings > General > About > Network (Not Available), it tells me "SIM not provisioned". I've heard that you don't need a SIM card at all to use wifi on an iPhone, so what's going on here (in case I didn't make it clear, I do have a SIM card in the phone, and this problem occurs whether it's in or not)? Do I need to activate my SIM card (and if so will it cost me anything)? Or is my iPhone just whack?
If I wasn't clear in my question, please ask for clarification in the comments.
Thanks!We now have two older phones that will not recognize one of our networks.

I can not join the my home WIFI network. I have iPhone and iTouch connected as well as my windows laptop. I have trie power on rese, and network reset. What do I do next?
This is something else you can try.
Go to Settings>WiFi>Your Network Name (tap the blue arrow)>Forget this Network. Reboot your iPad, hold down on the sleep button at the top for a couple of seconds until the red slider appears, slide to shut down. Then press the sleep button again until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button and the iPad will restart. Try to join your network again.
