Connected to wifi but unable to get on safari, any suggestions?
I am in a hotel and connected to the wifi system. When I try to get on the Internet I am td there is no connection. I was on earlier today. The signal strength is full. What can I do to trouble shoot?
Hi there.
Some hotel networks require some sort of authentication, or sometimes even payment to connect to the network. If you are connected to the wireless network, and the network requires this, you should be greeted with a page as every time that you attempt to connect to a wireless network, the iPad checks for this.
I would also try contacting the hotel's network troubleshooting department for help also, as they may have a different configuration than normal networks do.
Hope this helps. -

Cannot display the screen of my macbook on TV. OS is Lion 10.7.2. The Macbook is connected to the TV is over HDMI cable. TV shows only the backgroud picture of the Lion OS and reacts even to mission control. Do you have any suggestions for help ?
You have the display set in Extended Desktop mode. In System Preferences>Display on the MacBook screen there should be an Arrangement tab when you have the MacBook hooked up to the TV and both screens working. When you click the Arrangement tab do you see two monitors side by side? One of them will have a Menu Bar at the top. Just click on the Menu Bar and drag it to the second monitor. That will make the second monitor your main screen. You can now use your MacBook in Clamshell Mode with a wired or Bluetooth keyboard and mouse. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3131 When you disconnect from the TV your Menu Bar will automatically change back to the MacBook.
Or if you want to work on the MacBook screen while showing it on a TV you can check the Mirror Display box on the lower left hand side of the Arrangement tab under the two monitors box. -
Iphone 4s connects to wifi but internet doesn't work. Driving me mental, help!!
Been having issues with phone for the last few months, it cuts out the internet 2/3 times a night and I have to reboot the wifi. I originally thought it was the wifi (which it possibly still is) and got a new router, but now the phone connects to wifi but the internet won't work at all. I've looked on a few other posts about changing the DNS but it hasn't helped. We have a few other devices in the house which connect to the internet perfectly, so I really don't know what the issue is. Someone please help!!
Thanks in advance.
SarahHi, KK93.
Sometimes a simple power cycle of the router and Mac can resolve the issue. However, try the steps in the article below to troubleshoot the Wi-Fi issue with your MacBook.

Also, see the article below to make sure the router setting have been optimized for performance.

IPad Mini could not connect to wifi - but Android phone was OK
I was at the Hay Literary Festival yesterday and although they had a good free wi-fi service to which my Android Samsung phone could connect, my iPad Mini could not hold the connection....it found the wi-fi, I entered the userid and p/w and momentarily it appeared to have connected, but then lost it. Another person near me had exactly the same issue with her iPad Mini. As soon as we got home, my iPad connected as usual to my home wi-fi and there is no hint of an issue with it.
So what could have been wrong at Hay? Even when I positioned myself next to their router, my iPad still would not maintain the connection. Is there something inherently wrong with the iPad, which I may get with other free wi-fi connections? Or was there something unusual about the Hay setup? Their techno-guru opined that Apple devices don't always connect, whereas Android's don't seem to have a problem.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

When i bought my iPhone and my iPad they both were on iOS 7.0.2 i updated them shortly after thinking the new iOS 7.0.4 was better. i see its not but they both worked great with iTunes before and after the update. My question is why is my iPhone not connecting to iTunes? it will not connect through USB or wifi and i know that the setting to do that is turned on. my iPad connects through iTunes through wifi but not USB. This isnt making any sense but i wanna know is this a iTunes issue? or is it my phone and iPad??
This can sometimes be the result of a faulty/damaaged USB sync cable. Do you have another cable you could test it out with?

Is it because it is old?? I also cannot update my iPad
What iOS version is it currently running? The max for an iPad 1 is iOS 5.1.1.

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.

I upgraded to iOS7 without incident and all has been functioning fine. However, today I am unable to access anything that requires connection. Wifi is strong, and working fine on other devices. Any suggestions?

Offten I type a text message on my iPhone 4G and nothing happends when I press send. The send button will not function. I can receive text and my wife's pnone iPhone 4g can send but I can not. Any suggestions as to a fix?
What in the world is an iPhone 4G? There is NONE. There is an iPhone 4, and an iPhone 4th Generation, but there is NO iPhone 4G.
Anyways, what it sounds like is that you've got the MMS subject line on, and if this is the case, then you've been typing into the subject line, instead of the body of the text.
You can either type in the body of the text, instead of the subject line, or disable the subject line in the settings.
If your subject line is off, or you ARE typing in the body, then something's wrong with your iPhone. -
So for my iPod Touch 4th Generation, my problem is that it will not backup icloud. It meets all the standards of how to be backed up but unfortunately it will not backup. I would really appreciate any help !!

You tube wont work from wifi but my iphone will on my ipad first generation
When i try play utube on ipad it fails or may start nd then sticks all other wifi products in house can play the same utube items but ipad struggles or fails with server problems??
You can find a local shop and pay to get it fixed or you will need to send the phone to someone you know in Canada and have them take the phone into Apple for service. Then they will need to ship the phone back to you. The warranty is based in the original country of purchase.
Decide which is your best option. -
I've also tried network idagnostics, it can never get further than ISP. Sometimes ill get lucky and it'll connect, but the connection *****. I know the internet itself is working cause the other computers in the house are working fine. Help!
Thanks Bob, I don't know why but it all of a sudden worked a few days later. It's a mystery but at least problem solved.
