IPhone won't connect to wifi at all!! Please help.

I have an iPhone 4 and I don't use it as a phone any more but I do use it for downloading songs and stuff of wifi, kinda like an iPod touch but I dropped it in water(not the first time I have done this) and as usual it will come back alive after drying but this time the wifi says no wifi and it is colored light gray.everything els is normal about the phone except I can't get Internet via wifi. Can someone tell me if there is another way to access the Internet with this device or how to fix the wifi? Oh and one more thing, when I go to general and press about I see that the wifi address says N/A so I don't know if I can just get a new address or what.

"followed all directions"
so you followed ALL the steps described in these articles?
iOS: Connecting to Wi-Fi - Apple Support
If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch won’t connect to a Wi-Fi network - Apple Support
iOS: Wi-Fi settings grayed out or dim - Apple Support
If so, since it states:
If someone else set up your network, ask them for help. If you’re using a network at a company, school, hotel, store, or other free Wi-Fi location, find an employee for assistance.
If you're connected to a Wi-Fi network but you can’t get online, try to use your Wi-Fi network on other devices. If you can’t get online using your other devices, there might be a service outage. Call your cable company or internet provider for help.
Try connecting to a Wi-Fi network in a different location. If your device can connect, you’ll need to get help with your Wi-Fi network. If it can’t connect to any Wi-Fi networks, contact Apple.
Update your Wi-Fi router with the latest firmware and make sure the router supports your Apple product. For more information, contact the manufacturer of your router.
Who set the wifi?
what other devices did you try?
what did the internet provider say?
did you try different wifi locations?
Thanks for taking more time to post your problem and for using Apple Support Communies

Iphone won't connect to wifi network

iPhone won't connect to a wifi network - just get a message saying it won't connect to the network (it doesn't give me a message that I've got the password wrong). Other devices do join the network OK
What should I do to try t resolve it?

Hi,
I bought my iPhone 4s yesterday and I'm having the same problem, my laptop, my old HTC Legend and my work macbook all connect to my wifi no problems. My iPhone won't.
I've read through everything I can find on here, and on Sky help and have tried:
Resetting router
Resetting network settings on iphone
Using MAC address access control on the router
Changing channels on the router
Switching everything off and on
Someone suggested doing 'forget network' on the iphone, but I can't find this option
Turning off 3G and mobile data and trying to connect
Checking password is correct (it is)
Kind of at a loss now as to what I can do, I've emailed Sky and waiting for their advice, but should I take it back to the shop to exchange it? Everything else I have connects just fine, no problem.
It just says "unable to join network"
Anyone help?
Thanks

Iphone won't connect to wifi

My iphone won't connect to my home wifi. It say's connected but when i try and go online it say's unable to connect. I've tried forgetting the network, turning wifi off and on. The ip address is ok and my laptop connects ok.
Has anyone got any ideas about how i can fix it?

I am having the same issues as GirlyGirl. Every other day or so my iPhone 3GS won't connect to wifi. Before I was showing the wifi signal as if it were attached but I couldn't surf Safari. Now even though under the wifi settings it shows I'm connected, I don't get the wifi fan showing I'm connected. I've done the following:
Renewed lease
Forgotten network
Reset Network Settings
Reboot my iPhone
Two days ago when I rebooted the router and Reset Network Settings it started working correctly.
I've been working with my internet provider, they tell me my firmware on my 2wire is up to date & the issue is definitely with my iPhone.
Security Settings: WPA-PSK (TKIP) and WPA2-PSK (AES)
My iPhone is attaching to the 169.x IP Address and the Subnet is 255.255.0.0. The router, DNS and Search Domains are blank.
Also to note, I changed the name of my device through the gateway router so I could identify it more easily. As of today it had defaulted back to the old name which is the ip address. Even if I don't change anything it isn't keeping those settings.
Other than restarting my router and taking everything down for 15 minutes each time, what else can I try?

Iphone won't connect to wifi due to incorrect password,even though it is correct! Help?

So my Iphone 4s has been having problems with the no service error now and again so I decided to reset the network settings to try and fix it. Now since this reset,my iphone refuses to connect to wifi even though the password I'm entering is 100% correct! I keep getting the 'Incorrect password error'.
I've resetted the router and reset the wifi network, rebooted my phone,performed a hard reset but there is still no fix
I have many other devices connected to my wifi without any problems. 3 computers, an ipad, android tablet and other iphone.
My phone is jailbroken on 6.1.2 so I don't want to have to restore my phone.
My phone will connect to wifi with wifiFoFum but as soon as my phone goes to sleep it disconnects so its rather annoying!
I hope you can help

Well are you absolutely certain you know your password. This is a risky troubleshooting step because it could kind of make the situation worse, you should try to forget the network on your computer and really make sure you can enter your password again on another device.
It might just be a capital letter or something that is tripping you up.
If you are having an actually wifi hardware issue it doesn't pop up with an error about an incorrect password. Theres other errrors for that. Incorrect password errors only pop up because there is an issue with the password

IPHONE 4 DOESN'T ACCEPT WIFI PASSWORDS ANYMORE - PLEASE HELP!

Hi all,
My iPhone 4 out of blue decided not to accept the wifi password- it says "wrong password for xxx network" - it's my home one it always worked-
I was away and worked fine for a week in others houses (where the password was stored already) went to other house, tried to connect with passwprd and started saying the pw was wrong - got home last night and didn't connect right away as usual(maybe because I've reset the network when away) so I've put the pw in and again says it's wrong - Of course the password is correct - laptop works fine and iPod touch as well - At work there is a non protected wifi and it connects fine - So looks like the iPhone doesn't accept passwprds for the wifi
I've tryed to reset the network few times, reboot it few times, reset all settings and update the sofware (version 5.0.1) - nothing worked - aw also unpluged and re-pluged the router at home (knowiing wouldn't' help)
PLEASE help, very frustrating - I've seen few people had the same issue but nothing worked.
Thanks

You're welcome.
Incorrect. The passcode lock is not included with the backup. The restrictions passcode is, but not the passcode lock. If it were included with the backup, you would need to restore as a new device or not from the backup. Either way, you must restore with iTunes which is the only way around a forgotten passcode.

Ipad and iPhone won't connect to wifi

I just purchased (today) an ipad 3 and iphone 4S. Neither will connect to my apple time capsule, but my mac and ipad 2 connect fine. I've tried turning both new devices off and unplugging and restarting the time capsule, but no luck. have tired "forgetting" the network on both devices and then re-entering the password, no luck. Help!!!

Look at iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
Additional things to try.
Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
On your iPad go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings and see if that enables you to connect.
If none of the above suggestions work, look at this link.

Macbook Pro won't connect to wifi while all other macbooks in house will.

I have a MacBook Pro running 10.6.8 and we got wifi at the house this afternoon. It will not connect, if I open network diagnostics the top four lights are green, internet and server are red. There are two other macbooks in the house(at least one also running 10.6.8) and two ipads, all of which connect with no problem. The macbbok in question connects fine at coffee shops and, up until a week ago, fine with the wifi at my last apartment.
We are using Charter and the router is a Motorola SBG941.
Thanks for any advice you can give!

Change your router channel. Sometimes this is all you will have to do.
Power cycling the router. Read the router's user manual or contact their tech support for instructions.
System Preferences/Internet & Network/Network
Unlock the padlock
Locations: Automatic
Highlight Airport
Click the Assist Me button
In the popup window click the Diagnostic button.
System Preferences/Network- Unlock padlock. Highlight Airport. Network Name-select your name. Click on the Advanced button. Airport/Preferred Networks-delete all that is not your network.
Place a check mark next to "Remember networks this computer has joined." Click the OK button and lock the padlock. Restart your computer.

Iphone won't sync ringtone-says not authorized-please help???

Hi and thanks in advance for the help.
I purchased a few ringtones. Three synced fine. My favorite choice did not. When finished syncing a pop-up said that it couldn't sync the song because I wasn't authorized to listen to it on this computer. HOWEVER, the song itself is downloaded, I can't listen to it on my computer and on my iphone, it just doesn't show up in the ringtones with the others where I really want it to be! Any ideas??? Thanks!

Thought that would work, but didn't. Again, the computer does play the song, does allow the iphone to play the song BUT NOT as a ringtone. That's where the problem is. I did go in and try to authorize the computer, but as suspected, it came back saying it was already authorized. Since, it has done this with yet another song when trying to create ringtone. I don't like being charged an extra fee for the ringtone and then not being able to sync it as such. If I buy it directly from the iphone, there is no problem, but going back in to create a ringtone from a purchased song is where the problem is but only for some ringtones, not all. UGH!
Thanks in advance for your help.

Try using a differnt USB cord. Or hold down the power/home button together for 10 to 15 sec or until you see the apple logo and then release, wait for your phone to boot back up.

Hey, I. Get to answer my own question. I decided to try shutting off my iPod, waited a few seconds, then restarted it. When I clicked on the game icon, it opened right up.

My iPod 4G won't charge when i plug it in, and won't connect to my computer! Please help!!

Please help me! I've tried 3 other cords and tried wiggling the cord around and I've blown into the iPod to get any dust out and nothings changed. This has been going on for about 2 months and no one has the right answers, and I was supposed to get a new cord delivered from Apple but the messed up my order :/ If you have a solution, please share it with me, I need help now!

- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
- Try another cable. Make sure the cable works on another device
- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.
