Hi 21saz1987,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that your iPhone is not locating any Wi-Fi networks and know situations with Wi-Fi connectivity can be frustrating. I understand that you have already performed some troubleshooting but the issue has not been resolved. In this situation I would recommend working through the troubleshooting steps in the attached article.

Have a great day,
Joe

  • Phone wont connect to laptop via WIFI

    I tried all useless solutions sony has on their website and its still not working, got sony PC companion on my pc, newest software installed, i can find my pc name on the list in zc3 but every time i try to connect i got a message "Could not connect". Any ideas how to solve it?

    ok try connecting your device to your laptop then open Computer and locate your device then right click the device icon then left click on Network configuration and follow the instructions - I think the issue here is the settings aren't been pushed to your phone from your laptop

  • My iphone 5 is in disabled status but when going through the recovery process it asks for the SIM pin but I cannot access the screen as the phone wont connect to the activation server not the screen to unlock the SIM. What do I do?

    That's usually a symptom of a phone that was hacked or jailbroken to unlock it.

    They will be gone from the iphone, but you should be syning all contacts to your computer regularly and should be importing all pics to your computer regularly, particularly before any update.
    Have you failed to do this?

  • Minecraft PE: "scanning for WiFi Games..." never finds any on same network

    My daughter wants to play Minecraft PE with her friends when they are here at the house, but I cannot get things to work.  I suspect this is an Airport issue because we have done everything that the Minecrafte forums suggest to do to get this to work.
    We use a TimeCapsule for our wireless network in the house.  It is configured in Bridge mode because the FIOS modem between it and the Internet doesn't accommodate any other configuration.
    All the iOS devices (iPads, iPod touches, etc.) are all on the same wireless network in our house.   They all have their servers set to visible.
    Yet when the kids want to join a game on a friend's device (in the house, on the same wireless network, and servers set to visible), they just get "Scanning for WiFi games...."
    I have googled this problem, and the only discussion which seems pertinent is this (http://goo.gl/jMlYZ) in which the solution is to "make sure you have 'Enable Wireless Isolation' unchecked."  The poster was talking about the set up for a NetGear router. 
    Airport Utility does not give access to such a setting as far as I can tell.
    Any ideas?

    Okay, nevermind the sync for now. I did know it has to be connected to power, but that is irrelevant since my devices won't appear in iTunes at all.
    I am pretty sure the issue is with iTunes, as the it persists no matter what network I am on. I just moved recently, and now have internet with an entirely different provider and still no luck. Today I changed my network name and password, reconnected my computer, phone, and iPad all to the same network, no change. I also tried ending the "AppleMobileDeviceHelper" process in Windows Task Manager repeatedly, a solution I saw in a thread for the same issue - still nope. I have Norton Internet Security and manage all firewall setting through there. iTunes and all related incoming and outgoing connections are allowed, so it's not my firewall either. I am at a sincere loss with this.

  • I have a IPhone 5 and Iphone 5s. Both are set up with the same account ID and running IOS 8.0.2. When the phones are connected to the same Wifi at home, both phones will ring when someone call in to one of the phone.  Anyway to solve this problem?

    I have a IPhone 5 and Iphone 5s, each phone is activited with a different service provider. Both are set up with the same account ID and running IOS 8.0.2. When the phones are connected to the same Wifi at home, both phones will ring when someone call in to one of the phone.  Hence you do not know exactly which line the caller called.  If you answered using the wrong phone, then anyone calling the other number will not get through.  Anyway to solve this problem?

    Hey David Koh TP,
    Thanks for the question. It sounds like your devices are set up to use continuity together. Specifically, it sounds like you are signed into the same Apple ID in FaceTime, and have iPhone Cellular Calls enabled. To resolve your issue, simply disable this setting:
    Connect your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch using Continuity
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT6337
    Turn off iPhone cellular calls
    To turn off iPhone Cellular Calls on a device, go to Settings > FaceTime and turn off iPhone Cellular Calls.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • TS1398 On holiday in Spain, my phone wont connect to wi-fi at my friends apartement but connects to some wi-fi locations in the city. The rest it tells me that "Unable to connect" even though i know the password is correct and my ipad connects.

    On holiday in Spain, my phone wont connect to wi-fi at my friends apartment but connects to some wi-fi locations in the city. The rest tells me that " Unable to join the network" even though i know the password is correct and my ipad is connected.
    I have tried resetting network connections and switching on/off wi-fi, and also reset using home and top button, still nothing.

    Try going to the Wifi settings and clicking the little arrow next to your network, and click "forget this network" then try re-connecting. If that doesn't work, try going to settings-general-reset and clicking reset network settings. Also, make sure you have your network password correct if there is one.

  • Iphone 4s scanning for wifi but not finding

    I have iphone 4s
    My phone is not scanning for wifi
    its turn on but finding nothing, some time find my home network and after some time disappear again

    Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
    Power cycle the router.
    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

    Since you have already isolated it down to your home network, if following Steve's instructions do not fix your issue, contact your Internet Service Provider or Router Manufacturer and make sure your network is set up according to this information: iOS and OS X: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points

    Does the iPod connect to other networks?
    Try:
    - 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 the router
    - Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    - iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    - 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.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • I downloaded ios7 after being asked to restore. But now my phone wont connect to the activation server and is asking to restore again but I cant because itunes does not show any of my phone information

    I downloaded ios7 after being asked to restore. But now my phone wont connect to the activation server and is asking to restore again but I cant because itunes does not show any of my phone information (it just shows a blank white screen with "iphone" in the centre".

    I imagine a ton of people are attempting to activate after the update, and the server is getting overloaded. Simple patience, maybe keep trying, and if possible, try a little later. Think of it as all those people lining up at Apple Stores + about a million more.
