    Switched what off and on, Wi-Fi in Settings, the iPhone, the router? See this support document about troubleshooting Wi-Fi connections. If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch won’t connect to a Wi-Fi network - Apple Support

  • IPhone Can not see home network

    Ok, I have read a lot of strings about Wii issues and I have tried the following:
    - Unplugged (rebooted) my cable modem
    - Unplugged (rebooted) my Airport Extreme
    - Rebooted my iPhone multiple times
    - Turned on and off the Airplane Mode to re-search for WiFi connections.
    - Searched manually for the connection (typing in name and password)
    - Turned off the WAP/WAP2 Personal security
    but nothing seems to work. I can not view my home network on my WiFi.
    I can see all my neighbors networks and the phone works great on free networks around town but my home network will not show up.
    My home network does work on my laptop though.
    Any thoughts?

    Nathan:
    Great suggestion. I changed it to 802.11 n (with b/c compatability) and I can now see the network on my iphone and I can log in (I think).
    I chose the network from the list and put in the password. The first couple of times it did not take but the 3rd or 4th time it seemed to log on. If I go to Settings and look in the Wi-Fi area it has my network name as the network it is logged into but...
    There is no WiFi symbol on the top bar of the phone (only an E, for the Edge network) and when I chose any application (Safari, YouTube, etc.) it only accesses through the Edge network.
    Any other thoughts?

    Thanks Chris for your solution.
    But just for you know that I bought Apple to get the 'after service', they should've warn the users not to upgrade to a higher OS if it can caused the phone 'dead'. Mine was totally unusable when it's just been upgraded. It stayed in the recovery mode and couldn't be restored. So I brought it to the nearest store and they did that to me, and eventually the phone is working, only it cannot detect my SIM Card...
    The problem is not about upgrading an iPhone to a newer version of iOS.  Your problem was upgrading a hacked phone, one of the well known consequences of which is re-locking and/or bricking the entire device when restoring in iTunes.  You chose to hack your phones firmware and operating system, so you must accept the consequences of going outside the bounds of normal use that Apple prescribes and supports.
    Had you not hacked it in the first place, you likely would have never had a problem, and if you had, Apple would have offered support to deal with it.  Your choice, your decision, your consequences.

  • Need Suggestions for iPhone 4 Case/Screen Protector

    I'm getting my iPhone 4 next week and want to protect it as soon as I get it out of the box. However, deciding how to protect is difficult. Ideally, I want a thin case that is not bulky and preserves the original look of the phone and a screen protector that is thin and preserves the screen's resolution. Does anyone have any suggestions as far as cases to buy and cases to avoid? There are so many choices! Thanks.

    +ust came back from the Apple store and a guy at the genius bar told me that all apple stores are recommending ip3gs and ip4 users not use a screen protector b/c it lowers the phone signal. Is there any validity in this. I've heard that the full bodykit from zagg is the best and was thinking about buying it but now I'm doubting it b/c of what he told me. Can anyone confirm this?+
    This is not true plastic on the screen will not reduce reception...!!!!
    I have the zagg because lifetime warranty and I will tell you that it is really nice product. I will admit
    that the orange peel is not as pleasing to the eye. You will not notice it when the phone is on only off and at an angle. One thing about zagg is if you get a new phone for what ever reason you just remove the film and take it to where you bought it and they will replace it for free. This is well worth the $24!!!!
    I had to get a new iphone 4 today and they gave me absolutly no problems at zagg in the mall......
    The apple bumper is ok........It does not feel as good in the hand to me BUT, that is personal preference and also the down side is that I will not dock in my ihome ip1 stereo dock....it has to be removed.....

  • Need suggestions for good webcam (not isight) for  OS 10.4.9

    I never would have thought it would be so hard to find a webcam for my powerbook! Simple question, Who makes a good one now that isight isn't made anymore? I want to use it with Skype and iChat. Thanks!!!

    Today I just bought the quickcam fusion which works well... I just plugged it in and it worked - I didn't install any software (windows only software comes with the camera), so I'm not sure if I can take advantage of features such as "rightlight 2", which enhances the video under low light, and I don't think that I can take 4MP images with it - just video conferencing with ichat (which is what I bought it for) (and I just found freakshow - which is like photobooth).
    Make sure you get the UVC version of any webcam...
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=4401596&#4401596
    It's kinda difficult to figure out which cameras are UVC compatible - I just looked at the table in the following link and picked the quickcam fusion with the "rightlight 2". The one with just "rightlight" is not UVC compatible.

  • 4S iPhone will not discover WiFi network

    My phone will not discover a WiFi network

    Wow, same problem here after I upgraded to iOS6. My bluetooth and wifi both stopped working completely.  I called tech support who told me i wasn't covered and acted like they had never heard of this happening and tried to sell me a $100 dollar warranty to get it fixed.  I found these discussion forums and saw how many people were having the same problem and called tech support back to tell them I didn't appreciate the guy acting like he had never heard of this.
    Turns out, I am completely covered under Apple care and she set me up with an appointment to get a new phone tomorrow, no charge.  Now I see all these people who got replacements and are still having the same problem.  Just when I thought I had everything fixed.  Guess I'll just have to keep my fingers crossed.

    Get a new phone, either by buying the latest model or getting an OOW replacement and you will receive one like the one you have now.

  • Replacement Needed. This iphone is not able to complete the activation process and needs to be replaced. Please visit your nearest apple store or authorized service center.

    Probably will never ever think of buying a locked phone from AT&T cause its one of the worst system integrations ever that these companies could think of.
    The entire problem started when I put in a request with at&t to unlock my iphone 4s (ios7) which did get approved. I performed the entire instructions they asked me to do, which is to backup and restore. After doing those instructions my iphone gave me an error message below
    The SIM card inserted in this iPhone does not appear to be supported.
    The SIM card that you currently installed in this iPhone is from a carrier that is not supported under the activation policy that is currently assigned by the activation server. This is not a hardware issue with the iPhone. Please insert another SIM card from a supported carrier or request that this iPhone be unlocked by your carrier. Please contact Apple for more information.
    Basically saying that at&t hasn't still unlocked the iphone which a really helpful apple executive was able to confirm. I initiated another unlock process from at&t in order to unlock the iphone, just to be sure that its not something wrong from my end. The nice at&t lady stayed on chat with me to unlock the iphone step my step while I was calling the apple tech too. And the apple tech confirmed again that the iphone is locked to at&t.
    Now, just a few minutes ago I tried another restore to see if any progress is being made and to my surprise I got an error message saying
    Replacement Needed. This iphone is not able to complete the activation process and needs to be replaced. Please visit your nearest apple store or authorized service center.
    I feel like I am just going around these two different "money hogger" companies which set certain rules and regulations to screw a regular phone buyer. I purchased this iphone in USA and trying to unlock in India, is it really this hard to simply unlock a device.
    For now I am going to try to call a apple office in india (apprently we don't have very many out here) and see if they can help me. But any other assistance regarding unlocking an iphone 4s would be helpful. I have however, tried checking IMEI.info, called up apple, talked to at&t (which always say go talk to apple) I do have a case number from apple as well in case an apple executive reads this discussion forum (case number: 566383594)
    Thanks

    You got a confirmation from AT&T that it was authorized. Is this correct? - Yes i did get an email authorization on the 21st.
    Then you connected the phone to a computer with the latest version of iTunes installed. You clicked on the phone's name in iTunes, then clicked "Backup Now". - Yes
    When that finished you clicked "Restore iPhone" (NOT "Restore Backup") - Yes
    Are you with me so far? - Yes.
    And @ Varjak is right that after the 3rd restore I get the replacement error. 
    Plus I have NEVER jailbroken the iPhone. To give you another update, I spoke to a really nice apple tech in India who was atleast able to get me out of the replacement error by doing a recovery mode option. However, the lastest restore still gives me the same error
    The SIM card inserted in this iPhone does not appear to be supported.
    The SIM card that you currently installed in this iPhone is from a carrier that is not supported under the activation policy that is currently assigned by the activation server. This is not a hardware issue with the iPhone. Please insert another SIM card from a supported carrier or request that this iPhone be unlocked by your carrier.

    When I click on "Where did the error occur" -> "Adapter Engine", I do not have a choice of errors from the dropdown. I only see one option "*".
    Is this right?

    I see.
    I've also managed to overcome this problem by selecting "Subscription Authorization" in the Alert Category Definition page, and entering SAP_XI_MONITOR as one of the roles.
    After that, I am able to see a the alert category defined. By default it's already subscribed, because I'm using the same user - PISUPER.
    I saw in another post that the option "Suppress Multiple Alerts of this Rule" should be left unchecked. I tried that, but I still do not see any alerts raised in ALRTDISP.
    What did I miss?
    Please help.
    Thanks.

  • HT201415 My iPhone is not having wifi connection anywhere

    My iPhone is not having wifi connection anywhere

    Hi PamelaVR,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    I recommend starting with these troubleshooting steps if your iPhone battery is not behaving as you'd expect:
    Battery does not charge
    Verify that the outlet being used is working.
    Try another USB power adapter if available.
    If no other USB power adapter is available, try connecting to a high-power USB 2.0 port (not a keyboard). The computer must be turned on and not in sleep or standby mode.
    Try another USB cable if available.
    iPhone or iPod touch displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive
    If you see the image below, charge the iPhone or iPod touch with USB power adapter for at least 15 minutes.
    You should see this image when iPhone or iPod touch begins to charge:
    If the screen still displays the low-battery icon, try turning the iPhone or iPod touch off and then on again.
    If the issue persists, follow these troubleshooting steps.

  • Emergency Numbers - suggestion for iPhone engineers

    I can't find a forum to make suggestions for iPhone improvements - this seems the best choice - hopefully Apple engineers browse this too.
    When the iPhone is locked and password protection is on (required by some companies who allow corporate mail to be received on the iPhone), no one can get to the Contacts list on the phone. I would strongly suggest that Apple has an icon for an "Emergency" phone number that can be dialled without having to enter a password.
    I believe that emergency personnel look for an "ICE" (In Case of Emergency) phone number to call if the bearer of the phone is incapacitated. If the phone is locked this can't be done.
    Hence, it makes sense to have an ICON that allows an emergency phone number to be on the screen where the user types in the password. In case of an emergency, someone can move the slider to the right and unlock the phone. However, since they don't know the password, they can tap this new Emergency Icon to call some number.
    If the iPhone is lost and falls into the hands of someone honest, then this is also a way for that person to contact the Emergency Number to return the iPhone to its rightful owner.

    You can call "any" number - true.
    However, if there is an accident what an emergency personnel needs to do is to call a person like a spouse or a parent. These numbers are in the Contacts list, but the contact list is not visible until you enter a passcode.
    So what I am suggesting is that Apple allows an "Call in case of Emergency" button that can be programmed by the user to contain a phone number. Now, this number can be called without having to enter a passcode.
    Thanks for the link ..

  • Hi folks, you might know how to fix this: my wifi shows (no hardware installed) then I went to system preferences and deleted the wifi connection, I went also to system information and I can not see wifi listed on Network, how can I create a new wifi ?

    Hi folks, you might know how to fix this: my wifi shows (no hardware installed) then I went to system preferences and deleted the wifi connection, I went also to system information and I can not see wifi listed on Network, how can I create a new wifi or simply solve this, I have tryied shotdown pressing keys like P and R, option, etc. Please help me .

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.
