My iphone 4s can see my home network but it is not asking me for a password..so it cannot connect ?
I am trying to connect a new iphone 4s and my lynksis can be seen but the phone is not asking me for the password...so i cannot connect ?
Hi, jtheokas.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
There are a couple things you could try for this. If you are attempting to connect to a network that indicates that it is protected by the lock symbol in Settings > Wi-Fi, select the "i" next your network name and Forget this Network. If you are on iOS 6 you will see a blue arrow. Try connecting after processing these steps. If that doesn't work, got to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Attempt to connect to the network. Make sure you are clicking on your network name. Please note, resetting network settings will remove all remembered Wi-Fi network connections and Bluetooth pairings.

I have succesfully connected a MacBook Air, an iPad and two iPhones to the wireless network in this hotel. Apple TV can see the network and "connects" to the network, but w/o asking for password. I expected to see a screen immediately after selecting the network that asked me for the password as did all of my other devices. ATV did not ask me for a password. When I go to Settings>General>Network, it shows the name of the hotel wireless network, but I can't communicate with the network. It can't set date and time. When I try to enter my Apple account name and password, it tells me it can't log in w/o setting date and time.
Any ideas on how to connect to this network?I am having the same problem. In my hotel when I connect my laptop a screen will pop up and you have to hit the button "I Accept Terms". However I can't do that with the ATV. I called the internet provider and they said they could not help me. Any ideas? Do you think the guy just doesn't know what he can do for me? I am thinking I will call later and hope to get a different technician who might know how to help connect me.

I can see my wireless network,but my ipod4 will not let me connect to the network?
I can see my wireless network, but my ipod4 will not let me connect to it. When I try it tells me that it is unable to join. I can access the network on my laptop fine. I am also having trouble with connecting my ps3. It has the exact same problem. Can anyone help me?
The ps3 problem tends to indicate a router problem. Have you powered off and then back on your router?
For the iPod try:
- a reset:
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset Network settings: Settings?|>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings

I recently changed my wifi password at home and now my iphone will not connect. It will not ask me for a password just says will not connect to network. Advice on how to get iphone to ask network password for wifi?
First, try tapping on the network in the Wi-Fi settings and then tap "forget this network". Then reselect the network in the main Wi-Fi settings screen and see if will then ask for a password. If not, try resetting the Network Settings in the General -> Reset section and then reconnecting to your W-iFi.
Hope this helps. -
Why can't I update or load new apps on my iPhone and iPad. It does not ask me for my password. I tried to sync from my laptop now I am unable to connect to any sites from internet explorer. When I try to update or load any app it tells me it is corrupt
You need to ask Apple for assistance with getting back into your old ID. To do this, click here and pick a method; if that page doesn't list one for your country or you're unable to resolve this issue through the Account Security team, fill out and submit this form.

What icons are you talking about?
Are you talking about apps that you've downloaded? if so just sync them back to your phone using iTunes. -
I can't log into apple mail with out it asking me for a password.
I can't log into apple mail with out it asking me for a password. It never used to do this. What can I do to be able to send a email without having to type in a password?
Hey it4daddy73,
What mail provider are you currently using (Gmail, iCloud, Yahoo?).
Open up safari and go to that providers website and log into your email.
If you get in than open the mail app and click on mail on the top of the screen, then go down to preferences, click on the accounts tab, and type your password. Close the window and it will save.
If this doesn't work I would even try deleting the account by going into mail/preferences/accounts and clicking the - button in the bottom left corner. Than re add and configure the account by pressing the + button.
Hope this works, and good luck. -

IPhone 5s Unable to join home network but joins other networks?
As in the question above, I just got a brand new iPhone 5s that worked perfectly with my home wi-fi for about 5 hours untill it suddenly decided it didn't enjoy being connected to it and immediatly broke the connection. after that I tried getting it to connect - even resetting network setting and restarting both device and router- but still the same message comes up "Unable to connect to 'Network'". I would really love some help on how I can fix this besides going to genius bar or something like that since there aren't any in my country. and I doubt the place I bought it from would give me a refund or replace it. Keep in mind that it still connects to other networks. It's just my home network that it's having problems with. Also, other devices in my house are working just fine with the home network.
If your device is connecting with other wifi devices other than that of your home local wifi/router you need to be thinking strongly about what is going on with the device that you aren't connecting with. How far in distance are you from the wifi at your residence? How old is the router you're using at home? After resetting your network settings have you ensure you took the time to reset the password from your mobile device to match that of your home routers password? If your device is working elsewhere just fine and not at home you may want to start your troubleshooting more towards the router rather than the mobile device.

HT202213 my mac can see windows home sharing but windows cant see my mac home sharing?
Hi,
I have set up home sharing on a mac and a windows pc. My mac ITunes is showing the 'sharing' menu with my windows pc listed however the windows ITunes isn't showing the 'sharing' menu........ can anyone assist please?

Can anyone help?
Maybe
On the Win7 machine,
1. Ignore everything to do with Homegroup.
2. Go > Computer > Users > User; right click on User and chose Share with > Specific people; and Set to share with a specific individual or Everyone—both with Read/Write permission.
3. Go Control Panel > Network and Sharing Options > Advanced sharing Settings, and Turn on network discovery, Turn on file and printer sharing, Turn off public folder sharing , and Turn off password protected sharing (unless sharing won’t occur without turning it on).
4. Restart (probably not necessary, but I’d do it).
On the Sno machine,
1. Go System Preferences > Sharing > Check File sharing > Go Options > Enable SMB sharing.
2. Go System Preferences > Network > Select Airport or Ethernet depending on what you are going to be using. I am assuming you will be using wireless below. Let me know if not true.
3. Having selected Airport, select ask to join new networks and show Airport status in menu bar.
4. Click advanced > click remember networks this computer has joined > Click Wins > Enter the ip address of your Win7 machine in the WINS server box > Enter the Win7's workgroup name in the workbook box unless it already is there (look in the drop down menu too). In all likelihood the name is workgroup, but check on the Win7 machine.
5. Restart (probably not necessary, but I’d do it).
Try to connect to your Win7. Use Go menu > Connect to server. In trying to connect, type smb://ipaddress (of the Win7 machine). If, for some reason, you are asked to, input a user name and password, then use you user name and password for the Win7. Don't save anything to Keychain now and actually never for making network connections. -
Mac Pro 10.6.4 - I can SEE the Windows network, but I can't connect!
So I have a brand new Mac Pro dual 6-core machine in the design department of our company, and it's sweet. However, this is one of two Macs on an all-Windows network, and we're newly having some trouble.
Until recently, I could (on our iMac running 10.6) see and connect to our network with no trouble, sign in to my personal folder, etc. Now, however, the IT guys just updated the servers (and I don't know the configuration, or even what specs are critical to know), and while I can still SEE all the network drives, I can't connect to them, no matter what I try. I've tried different workgroups (which show up in my WINS Network preferences), I've tried adding search domains, I've tried using Connect To Server... with smb:// addresses and also browsing through the drives and connecting that way... I'm always told either that there was an error connecting, the server/share doesn't exist, that my login credentials are wrong, etc.
I know that I am using my proper username and login for the servers, I know that the names of the shares I'm trying to access are correct... but something is amiss here and I have no idea what it is. Is there something that needs to be done on the network side of things that I don't know about? (I'm sure more info about the network setup would help in this regard). Is there anyone who is dealing with this same issue?
Please help me with the benefit of your experience and knowledge... we need to get our Macs up and running... or we'll be stuck on Windows machines forever!
Thanks in advance,
Mattmh, that's really hard to solve because it's probably something the IT guys did with the network.
only a few hints:
if connecting via "connect to server", try to use IPs and not computer names, so smb://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx instead of smb://server1. also, don't add the name of the share directly to the adress. just type the IP and you will see all available shares.
secondly, mac OS seems unable to connect if the user on the other computer does not have a password. I suppose your users do have passwords, but just to be safe.
other than that I can only imagine it being a problem on the windows side, blocking the mac or something. macs don't always see PCs in their network automatically, but the "connect to server" approach never failed on me. of course I'm only in a small home network -
I can see my Maxtor drive, but it's not showing up on My Network- help!!
Hi there- Just installed my shiny, new WRT 610-N and have hit what appears to be a common problem.
BTW- I've searched the boards for a solution, so forgive me if this has been answered elsewhere and I just missed it....here's the story:
I can't access my external storage drive, that's plugged into the Cisco router. I can see it's obviously wired up properly, as it appears on Network Magic, but not on 'My Computer'.
I've tried to MAP the drive, as directed, but several XP components seem to be missing.
Also no problems LOGGING IN to the router- and under the 'Storage' tab, my Maxtor One-Touch II appears, clear as day, formatted to NTFS (but appearing as 'FAT' under the 'File System" column)
Confirmed the following settings:
-I'm running Windows XP, and like others here I'm not showing the 'Network Tasks' bar within 'Network Connections'.
Further, for the command string Explorer>Tools>Map Network Drive, I'm NOT getting the option to map the drive!!! ARRGH!
-I have checked the registry HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Current Version\Policies\Explorer, and NoNetConnectDisconnect is enabled (1).
-The workgroup name under the routers 'administration' tab and my computer name are also matching, so no conflict there.
-I've assigned network access to another storage drive that's attached DIRECTLY to my cpu tower, and no problems exist with it.
-I'm running as the admin under XP with S/P 3 installed.
This would seem to be a registry issue but I can't solve it with the solutions posted elsewhere...anyone else finding issues with mapping external drives??
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks for your time.First take the back of data you have on the hard drive then if you are able to see the hdd under storage tab then try to format the drive using the router utility. Now check if you can map the drive.

Can see the wifi network but can't connect to the internet
Hi all!
I've begun using a new ISP a few days ago, and while my desktop pc works just fine (ethernet), I seemed not to be able to connect to internet with my mac (either ethernet or wifi) even if I could see the wireless network. I thought it was an issue with the ISP and not with my mac, until last night when I tested it at a friend's house and bling..I couldn't connect there either!
All seetings seem fine both for ethernet and airport. Today I've verified and repaired disk and permissions. I've also created a location specifically for this network (while I've always used automatic before) since the ISP suggested to do so.
I've been able to use the internet, both wifi and ethernet, until literally two days ago on all sorts of different wifi networks.
Any ideas folks?
Thanks,
DHi! It's been a while but here's the latest update on the case.
(And yeah,I've been struggling until today to find a solution...Danny's personal advice: don't move to Italy if you don't wanna get lost in a Customer Service nightmare...)
Anyhow, it turned out to be as simple as this:
1) Create a location dedicated to the home network.
2) Insert PPPoE user name and password given by ISP.
3) Connect.
4) Browse wirelessly.
...I feel a little dumb overlooking this option....but, I still have some doubts reg the procedure.
Why did I have to create a dedicated location?
Why do I have to use PPPoE rather than DHCP?
Thanks mate,

I can see my windows network, but my Mac Air can't
I recently set up my iMac to use the printer attached to my Windows-networked PC. I couldn't even do that until I set my Windows network as a Workgroup, but when I did, the iMac immediately saw it and I was able to connect the connected printer. I was hopeful that I could do the same with my wife's and my Mac Airs, but such was not the case. Neither Mac Air can see the Windows Workgroup (from the same geophysical location as the iMac). What else need I do to enable the Mac Airs to see the network?
Thanks,
TomFred,
I don't even know what a subnet is! All the referenced computers are connected wirelessly. The only hardwire connection is between the Windows PC and the printer. I'll confirm this later, but I am pretty sure it is entirely accurate.
Thanks for any assistance,
Tom
