Just got iphone 5 and it won't connect to wifi. Any solution?

Has anyone found a solution to this?

YES!!!
After 3.5hrs. of grinding away @ this new Iphone5 ( white 32 gb )
I 1st went to general in settings,
reset the network settings, ........ (yes, it's new but to be safe I did it)
Next I reinstalled my Linksys/ Cisco router software from the installation disk & thank God they updated my software automatically (probably the firmware).
I then double checked to make ABSOLUTELY DEAD CERTAIN I entered the CORRECT password!!!!!!
Even though I did do it properly the 1st time I tried to link up, the new router software upgrade did the trick.
The router in question is the Linksys E2500.
The dead give away was when I woke up I went STRAIGHT to McDonalds, bought a newspaper, & linked into their Wi/Fi in less than 10 seconds. So if it worked there it had to be a software issue @ home.
Give it a shot. I'm certain IO/S 6 must certainly need the latest software in order to function properly.
I hope this helps.
DON'T PANIC!!! Use a little patience, take a little time, & you'll find you have a very nice device
Good Luck,

My IMac just stopped recognizing my Iphone and Itouch when I connect them? Any idea why?

My IMac just stopped recognizing my Iphone and Itouch when I connect them? Any idea why or how to fix this?

Did You upgrade iOS on the iPhone and ITouch?
It might be that you now need a new version of iTunes for the new version of iOS.
I am guessing here because you did tell us very much to go on.

IOS devices and Exchange won't connect over Wifi

Neither my ipad nor my iphone 5 will connect with my exchange server over my wifi network. The problem is limited to IOS devices on wifi and Exchange. The phone will connect with exchange over the cellular network. My windows laptop works fine over wifi with exchange and everything else. The ipad and iphone will connect to wifi and have no problems with web browsing, gmail, etc. I've used both devices successfully for months and the problem started yesterday. I did not do any IOS updates yesterday.
iPad and iPhone are both on IOS 7.0.4
The message on the screen: Cannot Get Mail. Server error. Contact your server administrator.
It also says: Cannot Get Mail. The connection to the server failed.
What I've tried:
Resetting network settings (only tried on iPad, since it didn't work)
Powering off each device then turning back on
Powered down the wireless router and powered back up
Confirmed with the exhange hosting company (GoDaddy) that they've made no changes

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.
Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim

IPod got erased, and now won't connect to computer

I've had my Third Generation iPod for well over a year, and it's been fine up until this past month. It's been doing odd things, like freezing up and randomnly muting songs all month. When this has happened, I've just reset it, and it's gone back to normal. This morning, I started to play one of my playlists, and the iPod just flipped through the titles of each song, and then closed as if the playlist had finished. I tried resetting it, and all of my files got erased. When I tried to hook it up to my computer, the computer froze. The iPod still turns on, and seems to be working, but there are no files. iTunes and my computer won't recognise it, so what should I do? I've tried switching USB ports and restarted the iPod several times, even in disk mode. Nothing works. Out of curiosity, I went to the About menu on the iPod, and it says I only have 6 out of 20GB left. This was the amount that I had left when there were songs on it, but now there aren't. How can this be?
Windows XP

no my ipod's not recognised by my computer or any other program on my computer. so the only thing i have'nt tried is restore-in my ipod as it doesnt appear in itunes at all and i dont no how else i could do it. i have tried to make it work on both my old computer and my brand new so therefore its not a disk drive problem and i cant fix that even if it was because it doesnt appear in the disk managment section either..
_when i run a diagnostic this is what comes up._
** iPod Connectivity Tests **
iPodService 7.5.0.20 is currently running.
iTunesHelper 7.5.0.20 is currently running.
Apple Mobile Device 1.14.0.0 is currently running.

Standard Enhanced PCI to USB Host Controller. Device is working properly.
No FireWire (IEEE 1394) Host Controller found.
every other test works fine.

Iphone and ipad won't connect with printer

I just got an HP photosmart B210A printer. The printer works great with wireless from my pc. When I want to print from my iphone or ipad they see the printer, I press print and all I get is that it is connecting with the printer. Does anyone have any

Hi,
On both the iPhone and iPad..
Tap Settings / General / Reset / Reset Network Settings
Then restart your devices. Try printing.
Restarting the router may help also.

Just got HH4 and my printer is connected but it ca...

Help, I'm going crazy.
My HP5510 printer is connected to my HH4 network, as is my Toshiba Satellite laptop, unfortunately when I try to find my printer on the network it can't be found. I've entered the IP address for it as well and this doesn't work. It is also unable to be found when printing from my iPhone and iPad.
It had worked fine when I first got HH4 but now it is a nightmare......HELP PLEASE!!!!!

May be stating the obvious but have you tried switching everything, hub, printer, laptop etc off and back on again, hub first then laptop then printer.

Just bought a MacBook Air and it won't connect to wifi. Any ideas??

I have a new MacBook Air and am trying to set everything up but it won't connect to my wifi connection at home. Password is correct, have double checked everything. Even tried using a personal hotspot through my iPhone but that doesn't work either.
Not sure what to do.
Any help??
Thanks :)

The warranty entitles you to complimentary phone support for the first 90 days of ownership.
If you bought the product in the U.S. directly from Apple (not from a reseller), you have 14 days from the date of delivery in which to exchange or return it for a refund. In other countries, the return policy may be different. If you bought from a reseller, its return policy applies.

With any wi-fi network or with your wi-fi network?
If your wi-fi network, try resetting the wireless router and modem. Disconnect the wireless router from the power source followed by disconnecting the modem from the power source. Wait a few minutes followed by re-connecting the modem to the power source and allow the modem to completely reset before re-connecting the wireless router to the power source and allow it to reset with the modem before trying again.

How do I connect to internet when I have tried to restore my computer and it won't connect to wifi?

I Bought a used laptop and tried to restore it back to factory setting and deleted everything off the hat drive and now it won't connect to the internet and because it wont connect to the internet I can't re download the osx

Then you're in a pickle...
Did wifi work before you tried to restore? And doesn't it accept your password or is there something else?

Started getting repeat copies of deleted emails on iPhone and iPad, but not iMac...any solutions?

I've started getting repeat copies of deleted emails, every time I turn on my iPhone or iPad...but not my Mac...any solutions?
Thanks

The inkjet spam email is the same one that is causing my iPad's issue! I'm having the exact same problem as you're having --touching the email or having the email at the top of the screen freezes/shuts down ipad. I've been to two Apple stores and no one seems to know what's going on, plus, they claim they haven't heard of this problem i suggested they go to the Apple Commnity to get a feel for what's going on.
No, the issue has never been resolved!!

Just got iphone, and safari stuck in Landscape mode

Hey Everyone,
Hope this isn't a newbie error, but everytime I start the Safari it flashes briefly in portrait mode, and then defaults to landscape. I've tried a hard reset, upgrade to 2.2.. and it still happens.
Thanks,
Dnouche

This has been reported a few times in the past.
Stuck accelerometers is the usual guess.
If gentle taps on the side where the bottom of the web page have no effect, then a trip to th apple store or back to where you purchased the phone may be needed.

I just got itv and having problems sync my ipad2. Any hints?

I had my iPad2 working with my appletv. Now I'm not able to get it to sync.

If this helps any of you, I solved my own problem. After some searching around, I discovered that you can go into your purchase history throught the iTunes store. You simply click on iTunes store, and on the right side by the redeem button, there is a purchased option. Click that, then click the little cloud button next to the songs you wish to download.

Brand New iPhone 6 won't connect to wifi.

So i just got my iphone 6 today and i just got home and it won't connect to my wifi..I have tried turning off wifi networking and rebooting, and I've checked my password multiple times and it keeps saying "Incorrect password for (Wifi Name)"

Reboot your router by removing all power from it for 15-30 seconds. If it still says "incorrect password" then the password is incorrect.

I just go iPhone and can't get email. says no password provided. don't understand
