TS1398 my Iphone 4 S will not accept Wifi Passwords - for some Wifi locations

@ some locations my Iphone 4 S would not accept the Wifi Password , gives me a error " incorrect Password " - any suggestiions ? It connects with my Home linksys moderm .

Only the wireless carrier to which the iPhone is locked can
unlock it. If the iPhone is locked to Orange, you have to
work with Orange to get it unlocked. Perhaps someone
more familiar with UK wireless providers will jump in as
to the 30 day period, but generally the wireless provider
sets the unlock requirements. It sounds like Orange is trying
to discourage unlocking or at least make it inconvenient.

Facetime will not activate on my iphone 5. Screen says "waiting to activate". Tried turning it off then on to no avail. I'm on wifi.

Facetime will not activate on my iphone 5. Screen says "waiting to activate". Tried turning it off then on to no avail. I'm on wifi.

That was the first thing I tried and all that happened was it took a picture of the screen (I saw that in my photos folder when the phone finally came back to life).
I tried again with syncing it in itunes and it took a while but eventually it kinda reset itself and I did have to redo the set up again but it's working fine now.
And surprisinly none of my data/pictures was lost which was odd as I heard that doing the restore would delete it all.
Thankfully it's sorted out now. Was really worried for a second that something was seriously wrong. I've only had this phone for 3 months so it would have been awful having to pay for a replacement.

Facetime will not work, blank screen

I just got the new iphone 4. Facetime will not run on it. OS is updated, phone is not jailbroken. Every time I try to make a call via facetime, I can see myself in the little box in the corner, but there is no picture on the rest of the screen. It's blank. On the other side of the call, my friends can see one frozen frame of me but no video or audio. After 30 seconds the phone says 'call failed.' The worst part is that every time I try to make a call to someone, facetime freezes my internet. I've never had internet problems before, but now, if I try to put a call through facetime, I lose all internet signal and have to reset the router to get internet back on in the house. Any ideas? Or should I simply take the phone back?

Click on the link provided by stedman1 and follow the troubleshooting steps there.
You can also try to Reset Network Settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
You can also try resetting your device (nothing will be lost): Hold down the Home and Power buttons at the same time and continue to hold them down until the Apple appears. Once the Home screen redisplays, make sure your Wifi is on, and try again.

IPhone 4S Calendar will not synch to OutLook 2010 from 1 of 2 phones

Problem: iPhone 4S Calendar will not synch to OutLook 2010 from 1 of 2 phones. Contacts synch fine. Was no problem in the past until...
Sorry for the length. Trying to give all info I can.
Summary: Had to get motherboard fixed under factory warranty which included new hard drive, and reinstall everything on an HP DV7 laptop. So this is a clean installation of everything on the laptop (Win7). Configuring iTunes and Outlook 2010 for two iPhone 4S users (myself and wife) was my last step. Re-established each user account to iTunes. Calendar synch problem popped up on one of two iPhones that did not exist before.
Prior history: all synchs worked great prior to the clean install and I never had a problem.
Config: Windows 7, two iPhone 4S, Week Calendar apps on both. All software up-to-date on iPhones and Win7 (fanatic about that). Had OL2010 PST datafile backups and simply used them for the OL re-installs. OL2010 makes that easy. Each user has their own Win7 login to keep our stuff separate. Of course, OL has Calendar as part of its install.
Week Calendar apps on both are configured with same calendars (Calendar, Home, My Birthdays, Work). Verified each iPhone Calendars app, Calendar button: From My PC listing has all these checked: All From My PC, Calendar, Home, My Birthdays, Work; Other: Birthdays.
Difference: In using iTunes to synch, iTunes said the iPhone account was different from the OL account and asked to merge or replace. Apparently this is normal for iTunes on a new install (since basically it is) synching to prior synched stuff.
iTunes settings for both: Connect iPhone for each user and checked INFO settings for Contacts and Calendars.I used “selected calendars” and verified. Each user has all four calendars checked.
NOTE: Prior to each users first synch below, neither user had anything in OL2010 Calendar. Can't blame on recurring events problems in OL. ALL the events are on the iPhones and are being synched TO the PC to populate OL2010 Calendars.
Additional Note: Contacts was already loaded into OL from my backups so synching has no problem.
User 1 iPhone: Success 1st try.
In iTunes, selected “merge info” instead of replace.
Results: User 1 synched fine from iTunes to OL2010 including the 4 Calendars (Calendar, Home, My Birthdays, Work). 4 calendars showed up. No problems at all. Wonderful! expected behavoir.
User 2 iPhone: Still failing to synch.
In iTunes, selected “replace” instead of merge info. Apple’s dialog is incredibly confusing and non-explicit on what copies to what and what it does.
Results: User 2 synched fine from iTunes to OL2010 for Contacts. DID NOT synch the 4 Calendars (Calendar, Home, My Birthdays, Work). Only calendar that shows up in OL is Calendar and it doesn’t contain any data. iTunes has no errors and the synch status bar indicates everything went fine.
Tried: I deleted the PST files and copied the backup files back to OL to start over. ITUNES no longer gives me the merge info versus replace option. I’ve synched multiple times but the calendar data will not synch.
Not Tried: Creating the same remaining named calendars (Home, My Birthdays, Work) in OL and trying again.
ALL suggestions is greatly appreciated.

Ok, new info. This gets better and better.
In OL2010, the Calendar in the navigation pane had no arrow indicating it had subcalendars within it. I right clicked on Calendar and chose New Calendar. It gave me a list of the existing calendars that were missing !!
When I cancelled, there was an expand arrow next to Calendar in the Navigation pane !!!!!
Expanding it showed the unchecked missing calendars. I checked them and synched again.
WRONG THING TO DO! ALL my wife's calendar entries in her iPhone since the laptop went down 3 weeks ago DISAPPEARED. No warnings, nothing at any step of this process. The OL files overwrote the iPhone data.
I can't find any way to get them back as this **** iStuff relies on iTunes for everything.
Is there any way to get her files back from before this synch?
Is there no way to save data files off the iPhone w/o iTunes?
Why doesn't iTunes let you control the direction of data transfer?
I now have one very ****** off wife.

Facetime will not log in?! - New ipod - Help!

I can not figure out for the life of me why facetime will not activate! I have successfully set up a apple id and am logged into that fine...but when I click facetime on new ipod touch it keeps giving me message: "can not sign in please check your network connection and try again"
But that makes no sense...Apple ID is fine and I have strong wifi where I am. I am surfing web just fine...but facetime will not activate. What can I do??
Thanks in advance!!

It sounds reasonable to me. However, it is clear that you do not like the answer.
At this point your alternatives seem to be:
• try again later or
• trade your iPod for a device that works the way you want.
I'll try again later but thought many more of you could use this info ...
Wise choice. Thanks for sharing the server load info. I expect it will help others.
Cheers,
Jim

I have an iMac w/Mavericks and Facetime will not log me in

I have an iMac w/Mavericks and Facetime will not log me in - says check network connection. Firewall is not the issue. Even restarted computer after adding FT to firewall permissions. Didn't work w/previous mac software either. Works fine on iPhone & iPad. Any suggestions or just stick w/Skype!? Thanks.

IMessage and FaceTime will not activate.

I have an iPhone 4S iOS 6.1.3 on Verizon. My iMessage and FaceTime will not activate.
I have wiped my phone multiple times trying both setting up as a new iPhone and restoring from back up.
I've also reset the settings and network settings.
Any help would be appreciated.

To activate you need to be able to send SMS and in some cases that is an international SMS. The SMS is hidden and goes to a numbe rin the UK starting with +44. Are you able to send international SMS? Check with your carrier. Read http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4268

When I send an iMessage from my iPhone to another iPhone that is currently not on WiFi, does my message show up as blue or green?

Your message on your screen shows up blue if sent as iMessage or green if sent as regular text. If not connected to wi-fi or cellular data, iMessage isn't available to/from. Both of you need a data connection for iMessage to work.
But your message on the recipient's screen will show up white.

Will not join wifi

My iPhone will not join WiFi network... My iPad is on, my Mac is on, but the phone will not join.

Hi Jason,
Yes, other Macs, a MacBook Pro & Black MacBook, are connected to the network. The original router had WEP security and this router has WPA2 Personal security.
I just realized my iPhone won't connect to it either. I'll try resetting it with no encryption.
How do I make a new network location?
Thank you!
