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?

My iPhone5S will no longer connect to my home wifi but others do.

My iPhone5S will no longer connect to my home wifi but others do. Mine will connect to other networks. I have rebooted the router and the phone, reset Network Settings, deleted the wifi network and reinstated it. Can anyone please help?

Good day Telbuoy,
Thank you for contributing to the Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like your iPhone 5s is not connecting to your home Wi-Fi network. You've done a good job of isolating this behavior to your iPhone and home Wi-Fi router.
There are a few more steps that I'd suggest trying next:
Make sure your iPhone is updated to the latest iOS version using the steps in Update the iOS software on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch.
Make sure your router is using the settings in Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points.
Update your Wi-Fi router with the latest firmware and make sure the router supports your Apple product. For more information, contact the manufacturer of your router. (from If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch won’t connect to a Wi-Fi network)

My Mac will no longer connect to my home Internet.

This is frustrating.
My MacBook pro laptop, purchased in September, will no longer connect to my home Internet through wi-fi. It was working fine this morning, but now when I attempt to connect, it asks me for my password. I type in the correct password, hit enter, and it does it's business for thirteen seconds before saying connection failed. It was working literally eight hours ago. My brothers much older MacBook is connecting, my iPhone had connected... I cannot figure out this problem. Does anyone have a solution or a method for me to fix it?

Open network preferences, forget the network, then try to re connect with it! Otherwise, try turning off the modem, waiting 10seconds and truning back on. This may just help to clear the cache.

TS3581 iOS 6.1 update - iPhone will no longer connect/pair with my car. Is there a workaround for this issue?

After the 6.1 update my iPhone 4S will no longer connect with my car stereo (2012 Chevy Sonic). Until update, everything was working fine and I experienced no such issues. I have tried deleting my phone from my stereo memory and re-pairing, but I get a pair unsuccessful error on my iPhone; I have been able to pair a pre-6.1 iPhone successfully after discovering the problem. Has anyone found a workaround to this issue?

IIRC updating the iPhone iOS changes its characteristics when viewed by vehicle
bluetooth
That is why you need to remove pairing from both ends and start again
Vehicle just does not recognise the iPhone as the one it previously paired with

5C will no longer connect to my home network, but all other devices do.

We had a service interuption and lost the wifi network at home for a while. When the network came back my 5C will no longer connect to the network, even though all of the other devices will. It will connect to wifi on other networks. I reset the router first. On my phone I have updated to the latest IOS, shut the phone off, forgotten the network, reset the network settings and reset the phone settings. Still will not connect to the network. It acts like it is trying but never makes it. I do not recieve an error message of any sort. What is the next step?

IPod 4th Gen will no longer connect to my home wifi, what can I do?

This problem started recently, I would arrive home, take my iPod off airplane mode (and yes, wifi did turn on) but my iPod would just not connect to my home wifi. I went to wifi>choose a network and manually selected my network but when I did, it would say "Unable to joine the network 'network name'". This problem slowly got worse: when I would wake up in the mornings or after not using my iPod for a long period of time, the same issue would occur! Usually it would take at least an hour if i was lucky of consatant retrying before, miraculously, it would connect. That was, up until yesterday though, when it would just simply not connect and display the message. I have tried almost everything I could think of: forgetting the network, restarting the iPod, restarting the modem/router (its an all in one setup), and even resetting the iPod but it just won't work, so now i'm stuck with a wiped iPod that just won't connect. One last thing, all my other wireless devices (iPad, PS3, laptop) work just fine and my iPod can connect to other networks. Please help me as I use my iPod very frequently and can't even restore to iCloud back-up.

Does the iOS device connect to other networks?
Does the iOS device see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iOS device connect before?
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on your router
.- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

IPhone will no longer connect to wi-fi at home

For a long time both me and my Mom had comcast and as soon as I came into both dwellings the phone would automatically jump onto either wifi network. Then a while ago she switched to verizon and used the same Belkin router. So there was no problem and my phone jumped on her system as usual, but at some point something happened and when I got home I noticed that the phone asked to be put on my system. I would input the password, but it would say "unable to connect" to the network. I did the standard things like check the network settings on the phone itself and they were fine. Then I did a reset (actually twice) with the same result. It seems like the phone ability to pick-up wi-fi is ok because when I go to my University or for that matter anywhere else I can log-in with no problem. The only thing I noticed is when I look at the settings (on the iPhone) for the router at home the whole thing is blank. My question is: Is there a manual way to get the phone to pick-up my router? I need to have it on my network at home because I use DocumentsToGo a lot. Thanks.

Then I did a reset (actually twice) with the same result.
Just to make sure, does this mean you did a reset of the network settings in Settings/General/Reset/Reset network settings? A reset will let you fill in the connection info again for the networks you connected to. But you'll have to put in the info for your other networks again as well.
So before you reset your network settings, try this and see if you can put in the new passwords for your router at home if you try to connect after the "Forget network" procedure.
Forget a network, so iPhone doesn’t join it: Choose Wi-Fi and tap next to a network you’ve joined before. Then tap blue arrow “Forget this Network.”

My iMac 2013 will no longer connect to my home wifi automatically why is that?

All of a sudden my 2013 imac will no longer automatically connect to my 2013 airport extreme base station every device in the house is fine ipads,ipods,epson 4 in 1,windows 7 PC & laptop etc.I literally have to turn the hopspot on my iphone to connect then for some odd reason this triggers the connection to the base station and from there its fine turn off the hotspot & all is well usually I just turn the mac on and thats it connection has never been an issue before.HELP PLEASE it should just work right!

There is a one year limited hardware warranty with all iPhones.
You can check your warranty by going to supportprofile.apple.com.
Try to restore the iphone as new without restoring from a backup. If that doesn't work, you're going to need a repair.
And if it's out of warranty, you will have to pay for it.

Original iPhone will no longer connect to wifi

I have an original iPhone updated to 3.1.2 recently. Since then I have had problems with it connecting to my wifi networks both at work and at home with no other network problems to speak of. It was connecting on and off until finally, it will not connect at all. I have tried to manually connect to my networks and it prompts that it cannot scan for wireless networks. Please help apple!

First try this:
Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
Re-enter your wifi info, see if things work now. If not, proceed:
Standard troubleshooting steps in the following order:
1. Reset: Press the sleep/wake button & home button at the same time, keep pressing until you see the apple logo, then release(ignore the slide to power off). If no change, proceed:
2. Restore your phone in itunes from your most recent backup. While this will restore a fresh OS, it will also restore the problem/problems if part of your backup. If no change, proceed:
3. Restore your phone as a "new" device in itunes & re-sync your itunes content. You will lose all saved data doing this.
If no change after doing the above, you most likely have a hardware issue.

Updated my iTunes, iPhone will no longer connect. USB Cord is new, and laptop is new too. iTunes on my Work PC is not updated and connects fine to iPhone. What's Wrong?

I need advice on this. I have looked at most communities and almost none answer my questions, I have restarted my computer a billion times and I have a brand new USB Cord, the only thing I have done is updated iTunes. (FYI:I have an iPhone 4, works fine, only thing is it won't connect to my computer anymore) And like I said, my work PC has a un-updated version of iTunes on it and my iPhone connects fine, maybe iTunes software is problem?

The following may help:
Windows computer: iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
Mac computer: iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for OS X

My phone will no longer connect with my home wifi network

any advice, all of a sudden I only get 3G service in my home while my laptop, printer, and wifes Kindle still are able to connect to the wifi network. Anyone ever seen this?
I reenter the password to the network and the phones still dont connect.
Thoughts?

Restart your WiFi router by removing power to it for 30 seconds. If this doesn't solve the problem try Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings on your iPhone.

TS1398 my ipad and now my iphone will no longer connect to my wifi. I have done everything I have read to do. help

Thanks, Lorie

Power cycle the Wi-Fi router/access point.

HT4623 My iPhone will no longer connect to the internet or download my mail from iCloud. The software is OS6 and I have plenty of storage space on the phone and iCloud. I have checked all the obvious stuff in settings and can't resolve the issue.

Since late September my emails stopped arriving on my iPhone. Access to the internet via Safari now only ends in a message "Safari could not open the page because the server stopped responding" I don't recall changing any settings and have checked the settings many times to try to figure out whats happening but without success. Ideas anyone?
Thanks

This may be caused by a corrupt existing backup that needs to be deleted, or by data on your device that is preventing the backup from succeeding. To troubleshoot these, try deleting your last iCloud backup (if you have one) by turning off iCloud Backup in Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup, then tap Manage Storage, swipe across your backup and tap Delete, then go back and turn iCloud Backup back on and try backing up again.
If it still won't back up, you may have an app that is preventing the backup from succeeding. To locate which one, go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage, tap the name of your device under Backups, under Backup Options tap Show All Apps, then turn them all to Off (including camera roll) and try backing up again. If it succeeds, then the camera roll and/or one of your apps is preventing the backup and you'll have to located by process of elimination. Turn the camera roll On and try backing up again. If it succeeds, turn some of your apps to On and try backing up again. If it succeeds again, turn some more apps to On then try again; repeat this process until it fails. Eventually you'll be able to locate the problem app and exclude it from your backup.

5S will no longer connect to my home or work wifi

I just replaced the phone at the Apple store today. I have version 7.1.1 software update. Two other iPhone fives in the home connect to the network just fine. I can connect to new networks just fine, just can't connect to ones I have had before. I have done the resets I have done the forget this network.

You shouldn't use the Static part, your router DHCP should give you a ip to use.
Try
Restore from backup
If no joy, then
Restore as new
