ITunes No longer connects to WiFi Devices

So I have an iPhone and an iPad 2. Since the release of OS5, I've been using WiFi sync and it's worked great.
All of a sudden in the past few days, my iTunes will NOT connect to either device. Nothing changed that I know of, it just doesn't work anymore.
I used to start iTunes and it would automatically find the devices and show them in the list on the left hand side. Now that doesn't happen, and when I try to sync from the devices, it says iTunes is unavailable.
Suggestions? thanks!

Yeah they're both on the same network and have no WiFi issues other than sync. IP scheme is good & stuff. Think I might have just fixed it. I've rebooted the machine (desktop that's hard wired to the router) several times to no avail. Just now I booted the machine down, the restarted the router, then booted the machine back up. As soon as I started iTunes, both devices came up like before. Must have been the router not cooperating I guess.

TS1559 Since upgrading my iPhone5 to the newest iOS (6.1.2) I can longer connect to WiFi. It sees the wireless network but will not connect.. Other devices in my home that weren't upgraded can connect just fine.

Since upgrading my iPhone5 to the newest iOS (6.1.2) I can longer connect to WiFi. It sees the wireless network but will not connect.. Other devices in my home that weren't upgraded can connect just fine.

I had the same problem. I did the reset networks on my iPhone & it did not work. My husband read somewhere that changing the channel on the router to manual & selecting the highest available channel number might help. I did that & it solved the problem. I have not had the problem since.

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.

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.

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.

IPhone 4s 5.0.1 will no longer connect to wifi

Updated to iOS 5.0.1 and now my 4s will no longer connect to wifi. iOS 5.0 worked perfectly. Now the phone tries to connect to wifi but fails every time and the battery drains faster than water from an unstopped sink. My guess is that the battery drain is due to the phone trying to connect to wifi. I have done all the usual things. My phone is 4 ft from my router (and it worked perfectly under iOS 5.0). I have restored the phone on iTunes with no change. I would love to go back to iOS 5.0.

Just checked my wife's iPhone 4. Did an over the air update to 5.0.1 and apparently that killed the wifi on that phone as well. My iPad 1 and iPod Touch works fine.

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.

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

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.

HT4587 my itunes no longer connects to airport express. I get unknown error -15000

I have been using airplay for months, then out of the blue my itunes no longer connects to the AE. I can connect and stream music directly from an iphone or touch but not from my laptop. Please help

Well I uninstalled Comodo and turned on Windows firewall. I re-installed iTunes.
I went into firewall settings and iTunes was checked off (allowed) for both home & public networks. Didn't work. I saw Bonjour on there and just 'home' was checked off, so I checked off 'public' to see if it mattered.
It did work. iTunes connected to the remote speakers....but for some reason, only for a very short period, then I get a network error.
This is freaking unbelievable. It was all working fine till I stupidly updtated to 10. Grrrrrrrrr
