It can't find the wifi and when I reset network connections it now won't even let me turn it on! Pleaseeeee someone help this Is driving me crazy!!!!!!!! Thanks!!!

Try erasing your network preferences again from settings-about-reset and erase or something like this and try reconnecting if the problem persists try changing the name and password of your router and if you it keeps not connecting you will have to try restoring your iphone through itunes on your PC.
Hope this helped.

My home wifi isn't working on my phone

All of a sudden, my home wifi broadband isn't working on my iPhone 4. Was working ok this morning. However, the fault must be with the phone as its ok on my iPad. I have switched off phone and switched back on to no avail. I have also said forget this network, and tries to re-connect, but again, it just won't let me.
Help!!!

Thanks for the info. I didn't know that. Think I (kind of) understand it now. Haha. At least I know what to do if it happens again.
Although I've had an iPhone of one kind or another for 3 years now- how come its not happened before?
Sorry- just curious. Guessing it could be as I've coincidentally switched off my router at the right time?! Do not feel under any obligation to reply...you have done more than enough.
Thanks again Lawrence.

For the second time (I've been to the Genius Bar once already) my WiFi isn't working on my iPhone 4S. This is really infuriating and costly!!! I see others have the same issues. Can't Apple do anything about this? It's obviously a hardware problem!

For the second time (I've been to the Genius Bar already once with this) my Wifi isn't working. They gave me a new iphone last time, but the new one has the same issue as the old one, I'm guessing. I've tried resetting the network but that doesn't work.
I see others have this issue too.
If this is a hardware problem why doesn't Apple fix it? Or do I just have to wait another year for another upgrade?
Currently it's not costing me anything - yet - because I've got the Apple Warranty but this is totally frustating!!! I bought the original phone (which has been replaced in July 2012. The new phone (without working Wifi) is a month old.
Will try Restore via ITunes before (I will invariably) have to return to the Genius Bar for another Iphone 4S unless someone has an ingenius solution here?..?

For what reason, other than making yourself look foolish, would you ask questions that we users could not possibly answer as we're NOT Apple?
Basics from the manual are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as NEW. Nothing more "ingenius" to suggest than these steps that Apple has outlined in the manual. If these steps don't work, then go back to the Apple store.

Why would Apple do anything for a damaged iphone?
You would have to pay for a replacement

My ipad mini has stopped connecting to my home wifi. Have just got an iphone today and that connects OK and the house laptop still connects. Any suggestions to gt the ipad connected again

Have had an ipad mini for 6 months and it has been connecting perfectly to the home wifi but it has just stopped connecting this evening and all other devices seem to be OK.

Problem was fixed by rebooting the ipadmini using on/off switch on the side of the ipad
Got the advice from a related previous discussion

Iphone4 wont connect to home wifi connects to neighbors..others iphones ipads connect to this wifi cannot change it and cannot access apps store. Does nor request password just "cannot access"

Iphone 4 wont connect to home wifi but connects to neighbors open wifi. Family members with iphones can connect to the wifi automatically and Mac compiuter in home connects to this wifi and this iphone did connect automaticcally until a few weeks ago. Does not request password when try to connect to own wifi..just says "cant access.". Also cant access the Apple apps store to purchase apps but all other function operate normally. Apple store tech says nothing wrong with phone. It connected to their wifi and coud access apps store from their wifi. This iphone belongs to son who is autistic. I am mother trying to resolve this issue and very frustrated. Have reset router but no change.

Based on the symptoms, your phone is fine, and the Router is the problem. Try http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398. Specifically the "forget this network" step. I would also consider resetting the wifi network password. Sometimes that will allow a connection.

Why is my home wifi connection wont work with my Iphone?

After I upgrade my Iphone OS 5.0, my Iphone does not connect with my home wifi but works with other wifi. I tried many ways to reset my Iphone and it remain the same. Hope someone can help me out here. Thanks! WEC

did you try to reset the router?
are other devices connecting to the wifi?

IPhone will not connect to home WiFi

new iPhone 4 6.0 will not connect to home wifi--other apple products (iPad & other iPhone 4) will connect to home WiFi--I experienced this problem with first iPhone 4 received 11/13--got new phone 11/26 and STILL can not connect

Is this a password protected network? Go to Settings, General, Reset, Reset Network Settings. After that, try to connect again. This reset will remove all password and wifi information from the device and should give you a clean start to connect to the home network.

My iphone will no longer connect to my home wifi. it recognises it, but the searching cirlce is constant next to network name. there are three laptops and another iphone on the same wifi that have no issues. i have reset network settings

my iphone will no longer connect to my home wifi. it recognises it, but the searching cirlce is constant next to network name. there are three laptops and another iphone on the same wifi that have no connectivity issues. i have reset the network settings but that did not help. the issue started last week when the second iphone was introduced to the house, could this be the cause?

No.
Any problem connecting your iPhone to any other wi-fi network besides your own?

IPod Touch unable to recognise Home Wifi settings - Help!

Did I miss something? My iPod Touch is up and running - has iTunes and iPhoto content, but every time I try to connect to the Internet it is not recognising my home WiFi network. How do I set this up- via "Settings"? If so, how? All suggestions gratefully received.

This iPod touch was purchased in the US - is that likely to make a difference as I try to use it in the >UK?
No. There are many different types of wireless network security that could stop the iPod touch from connecting to a Wi-Fi network.
What type of security is being used on your network? WEP, WPA, MAC address filtering?
How many characters are in the network key that you are entering?
Also does the iPod touch display a Wi-Fi address when you goto Settings> General> About?
If not, this could be the problem: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1559

Certain podcast won't download in home WiFi

hi,
recently the podcast "NBC Nightly News(video)" (also the audio one) stopped updating and downloading using my home wifi, even when i force it to update it doesn't recognise there are new episodes and when i choose certain episode (after 3.12.14) and try to download it shows Download error. without specifying what is the error), the last epsiode it recognises is from 3.12.14, the problem occurs on my iPad, iPhone and PC, however using different wifi network (such as university wifi) the podcast updates regularly and downloads the episodes.
I own iPhone 4S and iPad 4 both using iOS 8.1.2.
Is there a way to detect what the problem is? i don't have the problem with other podcasts, and i am not sure what to check with my network (assuming it's the problem).
thanks

OK, seems like I located the problem - sort of. It's not the feed that's the issue, but rather the fact that I'm pushing my MP3-files through a PHP script which does some statcounting. If I access the MP3 files directly, the iTunes app downloads them OK.
So I'm guessing maybe my headers aren't exactly what the iTunes app is expencting? Here's a snippet from the PHP file which outputs the MP3 data:
header('Content-Type: audio/mp3');
header('Content-Length: 'filesize($location));
@readfile($location);

Can't Open Some App using home wifi network, must use 3g to do it

My iPhone is 5s. Just like the title said, whenever my iPhone / iPad connected to wifi I can't connect to some games like Puzzle and Dragon even though I can browse using safari, using fb / twitter / instagram just fine. I keep getting connection error (in game of course) whenever I open that game (not only that game actually). Whenever I open the game, I can get myself automatically logged into gamecenter, but the can't connect to the game itself.
I've tried changing the dns from the default 192.168.1.1 to google's and resetting the cache (airplane mode -> on -> off). But to no avail.
Have tried to open the game on my father's iPhone and iPad, and my sister iPhone too. I suspect my problem is my wifi configuration isn't compatible to ios(?).
Sometimes I experience updating app problem too on home wifi network, I can browse app store but can't update any app.
While my phone can't, my friend's android can play the game just fine using my home's wifi network.
Please help me fix this.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
First, when you are going to turn off or restart your Mac, you will see a box called "Reopen windows when logging back in" in the shutdown or restart window. Untick this box and see if the App Store opens automatically in the next startup.
If it starts, open System Preferences > Users and Groups > Login Items, and see if the App Store shows up. If so, remove it from this list

Macbook Pro can't find my home wifi

I just got my battery replaced.. All my data disappeared. The worst thing is, I can't find my home wifi network but my neighbour wifi network is available. Pls help me fix this.
Mine is a MBP 2011.
Your help is much appreciated!

Hello, Sallyelainelee!
You may want to check the settings on your Router to make sure there isn't something in its configuration that's preventing the MacBook Pro from seeing it. If the MacBook Pro can connect to other WiFi networks OK, I would imagine that this would be the case.

IPod Nano 4th gen - screen flickers, won't turn on, isn't recognised by computer or iTunes.

My 4th gen iPod Nano has been playing up.
When I connect it to my computer or a dock, the screen flickers with the Apple logo. Once unplugged, it won't turn back on and the screen goes completely black. I tried to reset it numerous times (both connected and unplugged) but that didn't help at all.
I tried to see if I could fix it by restoring it and putting it in disk mode, but the iPod isn't recognise by any of the computers in my house and doesn't appear in either iTunes or 'My Computer' so that really doesn't help. I'm positive it's not an issue with my computer or USB cable because the other iPods in my house connect just fine.
Any idea on how to fix this?

If you have synced your iPod touch to a computer, it should be relatively easy to fix. Plug the iPod into the computer to which it is synced. Once plugged in, hold the home (square button on front) and the power button on the top for approximately 10-15 seconds. After the apple disappears from your screen a couple times, a new screen will popup indicating to start iTunes on your computer. Once you start iTunes, you will be given the option to begin the restore mode and then choose to restore your particular iPod. Once again, you have to had synced your iPod to a computer to utilize this option. Not sure how I figured it out, but I finally did! Good luck and let me know if it does/doesn't work for you.
