Laptop and iPhone not connecting to internet, says password is invalid.

A few days ago, I realized our internet wasn't working as I couldn't go on the internet on my macbook.  My iPhone is not connecting to wifi either.  I go to connect to our internet, and it says the password is invalid but I did not change it.  I've tried unplugging everything and restarting but nothing.  I know our internet is still working as our TV is still working.  Any ideas??  Thanks!

That was a scam, probably an attempt at phishing.

  • Why isn't my ipod and iphone not connecting to my new laptop on my itunes that i have downloaded

    I do not understand why my ipod and iphone not connecting to my new laptop that I got for Christmas. It did for a while and now its not. My itunes is up to date and so is my phone and ipod. Why isn't my itunes finding/syncing my ipod and iphone?!

    See
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    - I would start with
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
    or               
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
    - New cable and different USB port
    - Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause

  • What's going on with safari on ipad and iphone not connecting?

    What's going on with safari on ipad and iphone not connecting?

    I am using safari on my iPad to respond here. What problems are you having? Do you have a good wifi connection? Try a reset, hold the power button and home button until you see the apple then let go.

  • New house, new ISP and mac not connecting to Internet

    Ok i give up!
    Just moved to a new apartment, and have cable internet access instead of DSL for the first time.
    So i have a wirless router from Cablecom, with 4 ethernet ports, but the wireless signal is a bit low so have also connected my Netgear wndr4500 to one of the ports and My PC, ipad and iphone all connect to the Netgear wifi and out to the internet no problems.
    The imac running 10.8 connects internally but not to the internet.
    I can connect to cablecom router from the mac and access the settings so i know the wireless network is ok on the mac but that seems to be as far as it gets.
    I have tried connecting direct via cablecom router wifi, and via ethernet cable to the router and same symptoms.
    Have deleted the network and remade it from scratch.
    Still same, when i go to google.com ( for example ) it simple says not connected to the internet.
    However if i use network utilities on the mac, and ping 173.194.33.50 it returns with all 10 and no packet loss
    I put that address in a browser and i get google.com, but can't get past it
    So now i'm stumped!
    Any suggestions????.
    Thanks

    Launch the Network Utility application.
    Step 1
    Select the Lookup tab and enter
    google.com
    in the address field. Press return. Post the output – the text, please, not a screenshot.
    Step 2
    Select the Ping tab and do the same.

  • Wi-Fi has the self assigned IP address and will not connect to Internet

    MacBook Air will not connect to Internet (no problem with other devices). Message states " Wi-Fi has the self assigned IP adresss 169.254.147.1and will not connect to Internet.

    First, try restarting the router. If there's no change, hold down the option key and select the Wi-Fi menu in the menu bar. What value is shown for Security?

  • Thinkpad Laptop X4F -Will not connect to internet via wifi

    I'm not computer savvy so please keep replies dummied down if at all possible. I used this laptop last on Friday and booted it today and cannot connect to the internet via wifi. No problems whatsoever before this. Checked with other computers and devices in the house and the wireless network and internet are working fine.
    Checked this laptop and wifi is on (airplane mode off), says its connected to the router (in connections) but icon in tray just scrolls and says "identifying". Using the LAN works fine. Looked at wireless card and it says device is working properly and is fully updated.
    This computer is running windows 8 which I'm still having trouble navigating through.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Have you tried turning off the Wifi and then back on? Windows 8 should have that if you press the start key and typing in Wi-Fi. Click on Settings when you search and something for connections should appear. Turn off WiFi then back on to see if that helps.

  • New ipad and Macair not connecting to internet

    i just got an ipad and macair. when setting up the wi-fi, it looks as if its connected with all the bars showing. but when i click safari, it says not connected to the internet. i have done everything on the wi-fi help page. and reset the network about 50 times. but always the same result. i really havent tried the macair yet. any suggestions to get it to connect to the internet?

    WPA2/personal - I do have the greed LED light and I can acess the internet on my iMac via the LAN port. I powered off the comcast modem and the Extreme and the iphone and the iPad and then started up the Extreme and then the modem and then the others.  No joy.  on both iPhone and iPad I get 'this webpage is not available' when I try to connect via the wireless network. 
    I keep thinking this is something simple I'm overlooking as I had no problem until I replaced the Extreme.  I did not set up a new wireless network.  Could that somehow be a cause..?

  • Airport extreme: my macbook, cannon wireless printer, ipad and iphone cannot connect to internet when Apple Tv and/or PS3 is connected

    Please help!  I have an Airport Extreme (model A1143) as my router, and I have several devices connected to it wirelessly and wired.  I have my Macbook, Macbook Pro, iPad 1, iPhone 4S, HTC Thunderbolt, Cannon wireless printer, and Apple TV (gen 1) connected wirelessly.  I have my PS3, an external hard drive and DirecTV connected via ethernet cable (but sometimes my PS3 is also connected wirelessly). 
    I began to notice a few months back that my wireless printer had connection errors and could not print.  And I noticed soon after that, from time to time, the internet connection on my Macbook and iPad was extremely slow, to the point that I could not surf the web.  I tried several different printers before realizing that this problem was happening only when I had my PS3 turned on.  I tried both PS3 wirelessly and wired, but the problem persisted.  I figured it was a problem with the PS3, so I just made sure that PS3 is off when I need to use the wireless in the house.  But I recently bought an ATV (gen 1) and also noticed the same problem when it was connected to the Airport Extreme (wirelessly) - i.e., Ican't print, and my internet is super super slow on macbook, ipad, etc. 
    So, it must be that my Airport Extreme is the problem, not the PS3 or the ATV.  Is there anything I can do to fix this (i.e., some setting that has to be changed)?  Or do you think that my Extreme is just dying out on me and it's time for a replacement (I bought it about 5 years ago)?

    This problem, for reasons unknown to me, has resolved itself on its own. After several attempts finally everything decided to work. How does stuff like this happen? Thank you.

  • IPad and iPhone not connecting by bluetooth

    My iPhone 5 is not connecting to my iPad  by bluetooth. I have reset both and and have the hotspot turned on. The phone does not even list the iPad and just sits there and spins looking for devices. The iPad has the phone listed but says "connection unsuccessful, make sure Linda's iPhone is on and in range" which it is. Anything else I can do?

    Sorry you can't connect your iphone and ipad via bluetooth, however you can connect via hotspot.

  • My iPod 4th-gen charges just fine in any wall outlet, but when connected to my brand new ASUS Windows-8 laptop's USB 3.0 port the charging process just keeps "blinking" on both the iPod and the laptop and will not connect to Itunes...

    Hi, I HATE to ask for help with this, but I HAVE looked everywhere and Google searched different wordings and have not found anything similar nor a solution to my problem!                                                                                                                                                                                                                               My good old iPod 4th-gen charges just fine in any wall outlet, in any house, but when I connect it to my brand new ASUS laptop that has Windows-8 and 3.0 USB ports using the charging/data cable, the charging process just keeps "blinking" BOTH the iPod and the laptop and it will not connect to ITunes and I get "A Device is Detected" message that keeps popping up and going away over and over right above the Windows desktop toolbar.                                                               When I go to control panel and select "Devices" it does show the iPod, but for only a split second and than it disappears, but than it comes back again for a split second and than it disappears again and just keeps doing that over and over and over!                                                                                                                  I have tried resetting the iPod while it is plugged into the laptop by holding the power and menu buttons, that did no good.                                                             I also tried uninstalling iTunes and any other Apple stuff listed and reinstalling it all, that did NOT work!                                                                                          The iPod, the laptop and iTunes ARE all fully updated!                                                                                                                                                                I AM using a brand new charging/data cable that I just opened up an hour ago (I've learned to keep a few brand new ones around at all times since these piece of garbage rip-off cables hardly last a week, even when you baby them!). I also tried a few old cables, they all do the same thing!                                                       I would like to get this piece of junk to connect to my new laptop, even if only once, so that I can change/delete some songs and transfer a few dozen photos,since I haven't been able to do any of that stuff since my old laptop (that NEVER had any problems connecting) died way back in May! lol.                                                                                                                                                                                                 I hope somebody knows a fix or solution! Thank You!

  • HELP!!! New laptop and need to connect to internet

    I just bought a HP dv6t laptop.  It has all the connections labelled very well but I am having a problem getting connected.
    I have a desktop computer as well and I disconnceted the cable from the cablebox/modem and tried to connect it to the port on the right side of my laptop.  It doesn't fit there but it does fit in the networking port on the left side of the laptop.
    How do I connect my laptop to the internet?   I have comcast cable, phone and internet.   There is a snall box with no connection except to the TV and other box.  The second box has many connections, one of which connects from the box to the cable wall outlet.  Do I just need a phone connection line?
    HELP!!!!  Please!!!

  • Imac suddenly shut down and will not connect to internet

    Hi, my imac running snow leapord was working fine. Then when I came to it a couple hours after using it it was shut down. When I restarted it would not connect safari or google chrome to internet. However, some websites it could access. All the login websites can still be used. My internet connection is good, I have another computer running on same modem and it works fine and internet provider has checked out the connection and it is good.

  • Safari and iTunes not connecting to internet after 10.5.3 but firefox does

    Hi,
    My first post ever. I just updated to 10.5.3 from 10.5.2 After the update, I can not connect to the internet using Safari. I get an error message that I have no internet conection. I ran the network diagnostics and everything was reported as working correctly. I also ran a repair permissions from disc utilities. Still can not connect with Safari. I also noticed that itunes can not download any podcasts. My "software update" in system perferences can not connect either. Firefox has no problem going online.
    Any suggesttions on how to proceed?
    Thanks

    Also worked on 10.4.11. I installed an Airport Express and updated all the software and firmware on my MacBook. After Safari, Itunes store, Google earth could not connect but Firefox was connecting fine. Followed your tip. Disableing the proxies on the Network config does the trick. Very simple but very helpful, thanks.

  • HT4557 Computer and iPhone not connecting?!

    I've done everything upto the part when my iPhone should connect to my computer, but nothing is happening after I added the Id and password. Nothing shows up not even the unable turn on home sharing message appears

    If you have three different computers and it isn't working on all three... my guess would be that the Firewire port is blown on the camcorder itself- especially if you have tried a new cable. One other thing, make sure that the camera is the ONLY Firewire device on the system and see what happens. If it still doesn't show up I am still thinking that the port on the camera is bad.
    And you do have the camera in VTR mode? And I can't remember if the GL has a setting in the menu specifying DV out? You might want to check that.
