Iphone4s no longer connecting to wifi and missing network settings

Earlier today I was using Wi-Fi at work then I went outside and the Wi-Fi went off. I was using the Wi-Fi on my iPhone 4s. When I came back inside it did not automatically go to the Wi-Fi I had to sign in and use the password it kept spinning and spinning and spinning it would never sign it at that time. I tried to forget the network reset the phone do all these things it never would sign into the network again I could never get back on Wi-Fi at work. Then I came home and my phone used to automatically attach to my home network so it did not and I had to use my home password and it gave the message unable to join network. So I tried to sign in manually and renew the lease but there was no renew the lease button. So then I was going to try to forget the network and start over but there was no forget the network button. So I tried to reset the network settings and that did not change anything there was still no renew the lease button nor forget this network butto I still cannot sign into my home Wi-Fi

Reboot your router by unplugging it for 30-60 seconds, then try again.

My iPad is no longer connected to wifi and will not reconnect to wifi.

I have 2 other Apple devices that are connected to the same wifi network and they're working fine. I tried reset my network settings like the support page said. But, it no longer works. What can I do?

Try the following:
1. Turn router off for 30 seconds and on again
2. Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
3. Reset iPad; hold the Sleep and Home button down until you see the Apple Logo

Can my iPhone4 use be connected to WiFi and still be connected to the 3G network at the same time?

My iPhone is on the Bell network, along with 3 other iPhones in my household. We have WiFi and the phone indicate that they are connected to the WiFi when we are in the house. However, my bill from Bell indicates several instances where the phones (all 4 at different times) are connected to the 3G network for 24+ hours at a time. Additionally, it shows the phone connected twice during that time period (as though there were 2 different sessions at exactly the same time, but with differing amount of data connected)
The explaination that Bell gives me is that there are 'minimized' applications still working on 3G even though the phone says it is on WiFi, and that each of these opens its own 'connection'.
My understanding of cell technology is that the phone can only access one method of Internet connectivity at a time, and that it can be explained as a 'pipe' or 'straw' carrying connectivity and all of the data. I have never heard of a phone that can access two different types at the same time, nor one that uses separate 'sessions' at the same time of either type of connectivity.
I would assume that I turn on my phone in the morning and I am in my house, it indicates WiFi, so I can browse the web, collect my email and update my Facebook on that 'session' that lasts 4 hours until I leave the house. Now my 3G kicks in and the email that I still have open now collects through the opened 3G session, as well as the page I left open downloading something. When I get to work and enter my WiFi area there, the session would then collect my email through WiFi again, and my download as well.
If this is incorrect I need to know.
Can someone help?

Keep in mind that the reporting of data usage is not real time for any carrier. The time stamps of when data is used are essentially meaningless.
That being said, the device is always connected to the cellular data network unless the user actually turns off cell data. It is designed to use Wi-Fi when available as that is typically the faster network.
When the device is in sleep mode, it will use cellular data as the Wi-Fi antenna is turned off to save battery life. The only way the Wi-Fi stays on in sleep mode is if an app is actively using data over that connection, like Pandora or similar apps streaming audio.

Cannot connect to wifi, cannot change network settings [SOLVED]

Asus EeePC.
lspci -k shows
Broadcom Corporation BCM4313 adapter is the hardware, and appears to be working. Kernel driver in use is bcma-pci-bridge
In Gnome, Wi-Fi status shows "not connected"
"Select Network" shows a list of available APs, I click on ours which is set up as WPA2 PSK. Click Connect. Nothing happens. At all, no dialog for password, no attempt to connect seems to be processed by the computer. This happens with open networks as well (coffee shop or whatever). Click connect but nothing further happens.
From the applet I can't even seem to be able to "Turn off" the WiFi at all.
From within Wi-Fi settings in the applet, I can see a list of available access points but clicking on them does nothing. There is no available way for any user input, although I can click the toggle to turn off Wi-Fi from within there.
I can't forget networks in my history here either: click "History" and I can see a long list of previous networks. I can check box for them all and say "forget" but then they're back when I open the history again.
So it seems like my NetworkManager is just simply not working. Can't change the current state of "not connected" to anything at all.
When I attempt to connect using Wifi-menu I get:
Successfully initialized wpa_supplicant
>WPA Authentication/Association Failed {FAIL}
When I attempt to connect to any network. It never asks for password.
Gnome-Keyring is installed.
Netctl is NOT installed.
NetworkManager is installed and running according to systemctl
I've been running this Arch install on this machine for two years. This is not a new install problem. No hardware can be changed on this machine, so it's not hardware related (unless the wireless device itself crapped out).
Possibly related, I cannot shutdown the machine from within Gnome. I have to "sudo shutdown -h now" from a terminal. Seems to hibernate/sleep properly when the lid is closed though.
All of the results of searching on this indicate usually the problem is multiple network config softwares installed at the same time, like netctl and networkmanager together. Or not having a keyring manager installed That is not the case here unless it is one of those that is broken, but they don't seem to be.
I have no access to any wired connection at the moment at all, so I can't download anything to this computer at the moment. There's gotta be a way to get wifi working again, as it was just working last week. Haven't even done a pacman upgrade between when it last worked and when it stopped working.

I did mention the hardware is a Broadcom BCM4313
It may have been an issue with the Broadcom not working with iw. Not sure, as I haven't really changed things on this machine much (it's my wife's and I regularly update it but don't fuss with it much beyond "get it to work"). Like I said, the install is 2 years old, so compatibility may have even changed since I initially set it up.
I'm currently at work and without direct access to the computer in question. So I'll get those results later tonight.

Iphone 5 no longer connects to wifi

Iphone 5 no longer connects to wifi. Finds network, password correct but then ' cannot connect to network'. Connected to network till today, connects to other networks. Other iphone 5's are able to connect to this network. Please help?
I have turned the phone on and off and reset the network settings. I have also turned the wifi switch on and off.

Call Apple support or take it to an Apple store for evaluation. If it is defective they will replace it.

I am having an issue with my iphone4s. It will no longer connect to wifi.

What I know is that the phone worked perfectly fine until I upgraded the software. I've tried resetting the network settings to no avail. I've shut the phone off, put it in a ziplock baggie and then into the freezer for 15 minutes. This made the wifi work temporarily but then it goes back to being grayed out. The wifi does not work at other wifi sites away from my home as well. Seems like an apple issue to me and would appreciate someone coming up with a fix, apparently I'm not the only one having this problem. Thanks for replying to my query, any ideas?
It's likely a hardware issue. The iOS will not directly cause this issue.
Use this article first:
iOS: Wi-Fi settings grayed out or dim - http://support.apple.com/en-us/TS1559
If that fails to resolve it, then try setting it up as new and testing again.
How to erase your iOS device and then set it up as a new device or restore it from backups - http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT4137
If the issue remains even after set up as new, it's a hardware problem, not a software problem. You'll need to contact Apple for you hardware service options. If within warranty it should be free. If not, expect to pay $149 USD + tax if it's an iPhone 4, $199 USD + tax if it's an iPhone 4S.

My iphone 4s and ipad 2 both with 7.0.4 update will no longer connect to wifi but non-mac lap top has no issues

my iphone 4s and ipad2 both with 7.0.4 update will no longer connect to wifi.
About three days ago the ability to connect came and went and the connection never lasted more than 10-15 minutes; it has not been able to connect since last night. I do not think it's my wifi router as non-mac lap top has no issues. I have seem many similar questions posted.

Reboot your router by removing all power from it for about 15 seconds. Also, if your router still has its default SSID (such as LINKSYS, DLINK, NETGEAR, etc) change the SSID to something unique. Note that all other devices on your network will have to be reconnected if you change the name, but if the name is still the default that is most likely your problem.
If the SSID is not the default then the reboot should fix it.

Why can I no longer connect to WiFi.... I have an iPhone 4S fully updated but recently my WiFi stopped working and I can't turn it back on...

My iMac suddenly no longer connects to wifi network when in KIOSK (username) mode, and only connects when as ADMINISTRATOR mode. Its strange because the iMac has been working fine in KIOSK mode for over a year until 2 days ago.

One of the memory cards was indeed faulty, and the other completely fine
Thanks very much for all your help!
Although there is one little thing that I've noticed. The iMac works properly, but I tried to software update to see if that may help my Minecraft sound issue (as I still don't think only having 2GB instead of 4GB would cause such a problem) but the software update application won't work. Running the "Software Update" from the apple menu on the toolbar gains no response, nothing happens. If I run the software update from system preferences, the application icon appears for a second, then disappears (as in the blank app. icon, the blank canvas with the pencil, pen and ruler in the bottom right corner). It does this every time I try to run it. It did work when the computer was crashing, but this started when on one of the occasions I ran the app. while it was crashing. Since this occured during the crashes, and still occurs now, I'm wondering did something simlar happen minecraft, as it's sound disappeared during the crashes and is still gone now.
However, the computer is now working again without crashes, which is the main thing, thanks for helping me fix the issue
Edit: I would mark the topic as solved, but I'm unsure if this would lock the topic or something simlar, so I'd rather leave it open for any ideas regarding the software update and Minecraft issues I'm having

HT4623 I clicked on "update all" on my app , however my TRX Force app has yet to update and keeps asking me to retry. Yes, I am connected to WIFI and yes, I am updated to the latest version of itunes. anything else I may be missing?

I clicked on "update all" on my apps and all updated but my TRX FORCE App. it kept asking me to retry even after I connected to WIFI and downloaded/updated to the latest itunes. Am I missing something else? This was an expensive app that I use everyday for my line of work. ??

It says that the feature I am trying to use it on a network resource that in unavailable. It then asks me to enter an alternative path to a folder containing the installation package 'iTunes64.msi'
That's perfect, thanks.
(1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
(2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
(3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
(4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
(5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

No, it is not a known issue. It is a known non-issue. Try resetting your IMAP login ID and password. Both the incoming and outgoing. If that fails delete the account reboot the phone, and add it back.

My iPhone 4S will no longer connect to wifi. It is on os6. I've had it for 18 months

My iPhone 4S will no longer connect to wifi. The wifi button is greyed out. It is using io6. Like this for a week . Is 18 months old. what is warranty time in Australia?

There is a one year limited hardware warranty with all iPhones.
You can check your warranty by going to supportprofile.apple.com.
Try to restore the iphone as new without restoring from a backup. If that doesn't work, you're going to need a repair.
And if it's out of warranty, you will have to pay for it.

IMac no longer connects to wifi (3 other Macs + iPod Touch DO).

My iMac 23" (3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4GB 1067 MHz, Airport card: Airport Extreme 0x14E4, 0x8E, fw version Broadcom BCM43xx 1.0, OS10.5.8) no longer connects to wifi. The connection has been dropping regularly over the past month or so and since this morning I can no longer connect wirelessly.
I also have a MacBook (2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4GB 1067 MHz, Airport card: Airport Extreme 0x14E4, 0x93, OS10.6.4), a G5 (Dual 1.8 GHz PPC, 1.5 GB, OS10.4.11) and a PowerBook G4 (1.33 GHz, PPC, 768 MB, OS10.4.11) that connect perfectly well - all using a Zyxel Prestige 600 series/Airport Extreme (version 5.7). All 3 "see" the AE Base station in the Airport Admin Utility. To join this network, a password is required and I need to add the device in Access Control. My iPod Touch also connects to my network without problems. All connected Macs are up-to-date software-wise. I did not change anything in the iMac's settings prior to the wifi problems.
The iMac does NOT see the base station (tried rescanning several times, unplugging the basestation, etc). It showed up a few times after I unplugged the base station but then disappeared again. Everything looks fine otherwise, the Network system preference says it's connected to my network. Airport status: full bars.
I have tried to connect the iMac directly to the base station with a cable and that worked. I have also changed the channel (which was set at 10) to 1. I've renewed the DHCP lease.
Looks to me this is an iMac problem, considering there's 3 other Mac's + an iPod Touch connecting to wifi without problems as I'm typing this.
What happens when I delete the system configuration? Will I also lose all of my base station settings? (I have a long list of "approved devices" in there that I'll need to copy).
Things tried:
- restarted computer
- restarted basestation
- unplugged basestation + restarted iMac
- switched off+on router + unplugged from basestation + restarted iMac
- renewed DHCP lease
- changed channel

HI,
Go to /Library/Preferences. Move all the files in the System Configuration folder to the Trash, restart the iMac.
That doesn't alter your settings, just resets Airport.

IPHONE 5: can't receive calls & random error messages, such as "could not activate cellular data network" and "no connection - network unavailable, please connect to wifi or cellular network." This occurs even when signal strength or wifi is operational.

IPHONE 5: can't receive calls and random error messages, such as "could not activate cellular data network" and "no connection - network unavailable, please connect to wifi or cellular network." This occurs even when signal strength or wifi is operational, and it does not matter whether wifi is on or off. ATT went through the standard protocol - resetting network, resetting sim card, etc. No changes. Other phones working fine in same region with same carrier. Apple's solution is to restore software, but haven't gone there yet. Anyone successfully addressed this/these issues?

I should point out that it worked when the iPhone was set back to factory settings, but when restored with the backup, data/internet no longer works again, and I get the "Could not activate cellular data network" error message yet again.
