No wifi networks appear when I try to connect to wifi
I try to connect to any wifi and no wifi network appear.
Hey kkerman1993,
I found two articles that pertain troubleshooting Wi-Fi on a Mac or on an iOS device.
Troubleshooting Wi-Fi issues in OS X Lion and Mac OS X v10.6

ITunes will not appear when I try to connect.
Hi, I'm trying to log into the iTunes store on my daughter's computer to buy her a cd in the iTunes store and when I try to connect to the store it just brings up a blank screen. No homepage appears. So frustrating
Howdy tmikic,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
The article linked below provides troubleshooting suggestions that’ll resolve most issues, like the blank iTunes Store issue that you’re seeing on your daughters computer, which I imagine would be very frustrating.

Trying to add a WRT610n to my home network. When I try t...
Trying to add a WRT610n to my home network. When I try to connect to the router from my XP desktop with a CAT5 cable it does not see it. Was able to connect from my Vista laptop both with a CAT 5 and wirelessly. Changed the router IP address to 192.168.2.1 as instructed by tech support. Desktop still does not see the router. Connect desktop to Westell wireless modem/router with a CAT 5 - no problem. Also connected the desk top to a regular router no problem..
Got no help from tech support - was told that it's not their problem so it must be a computer hardware problem. If it was a hardware issue with my computer then why didn't I have a problem with the other two routers?
I am sure it is a configuration problem but I can not get any support for Linksys? Any ideas?Well you need to assign the static DNS to the pc in the range of the new lan ip 192.168.2.1 & you will be able to go online wired & wirelessly.

my wifi is connected but when i try to connect to safari it says the internet is not connected, i tryed resetting network system but still no luck.
Your iPad sees the WiFi network signal but obviously it is not connected to the network. Try rebooting your router - unplug it for about 30 seconds and then plug it in again.

On the wifi settings it shows that my ipod is connected to a network, but when I try to open safari it does not open it, because it says its not connected to wifi
You may not really be connected to your WiFi network.
Your router may not have given your iPod a valid IP address. Go to Settings > Wifi > your network name and touch the ">" to the right to see the network details. If the IP address starts with 169 or is blank then your router didn't provide an IP address and you won't be able to access the Internet.
Sometimes the fix can be as simple as restarting your router (remove power for 30 seconds and restart). Next, reset network settings on your iPod (Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings) and then attempt to connect. In other cases it might be necessary to update the router's firmware with the latest from the manufacturer's support web pages.
If you need more help please give more details on your network, i.e., your router make, model and version, the wifi security being used (WEP, WPA, WPA2), etc. -
When I try to connect to a WiFi network that I need a screen pops up and says "The network you're attempting to join requires you to install a profile on your Apple TV." What does this mean?
Yes, home sharing requires both to be on the same wifi network. As it stands access to the network requires the login via webpage, which cannot be done on Apple TV. You will need to speak to IT in order to grant access for the device.

I can sometimes connect to my Wi-Fi network, but sometimes the name of the network doesn't even appear when i try to find available networks. Is it possible that my software is too new for the network?
It may be your router is to old. Good read:

When I try to connect to the wifi it will not unlock. It will not even search for a network. I have reset the phone and reset the network. Any ideas.
I Can do that for home but not at friends and work places, nobody else has any problem joining it!! I'm wondering if restoring factory settings will solve it but don't really want to do that as its a hassle to reinstall everything for it to not solve the problem!!

when i try to connect my new ipad to my home wifi i get a message saying unable to join the network BTHub and my only option is to dismiss
If you are having WiFi problems it is necessary to isolate whether the problem is with your network or your iPad. Note: Do NOT consider your network to be blameless if some other devices can connect to it.
First, test your iPad on some other networks: a friends, Starbucks, Barnes & Noble, etc.
If it works well there then the problem is probably with your network. Try restarting your WiFi router by removing power for 30 seconds. If that does not help check for a firmware update for your router. If none exists which corrects the problem consider replacing the router.
If your iPad does not function well on other networks it possibly has a hardware problem. Contact Apple Support or visit an Apple store for evaluation. They can provide a replacement if your iPad is bad.
If you need more help please give the make, model, and version of your WiFi router and how you have it configured.

Follow these steps to troubleshoot the above issues:
Be sure you're in range of your Wi-Fi router (access point).
Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and turn Wi-Fi off and on. If your Wi-Fi setting is dimmed, follow these steps.
Confirm that your Wi-Fi router and cable or DSL modem are connected to power, turned on, and connected to the Internet. If not, refer to your network administrator or Internet service provider (ISP) for assistance.
Restart your iOS device.
Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and locate the Wi-Fi network to which you're connected.
Tap and Forget this Network.
Try to connect to your desired Wi-Fi network.
Note: You may need to enter your Wi-Fi password again if your network requires one.
Turn your Wi-Fi router off and on2. If your ISP also provides cable or phone service, check with them before attempting this step to avoid interruption of service.
Update your device to the latest version of software.
Update your Wi-Fi router to the latest firmware2. For AirPort Base Stations, install updates using the AirPort Utility.
Unable to access the Internet while connected to Wi-Fi
If you're using a public or commercial network, you may need to log in or subscribe.
Check to see if you have a self-assigned IP address:
Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and locate the Wi-Fi network to which you're connected and tap .
If your IP address is 169.254.xxx.xxx, you may not be able to access the Internet.
If you do not have a self-assigned IP address, see if other Wi-Fi devices on your network have Internet access.
If they do not, consult with your network administrator or ISP for further assistance.
If they do, reset network settings on your device by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Note: This will reset all network settings including:
previously connected Wi-Fi networks and passwords
recently used Bluetooth accessories
VPN and APN settings
Additional Information
Find information on connecting to a Wi-Fi network.
Some third-party routers may not be compatible with all iOS devices, even after updating to the latest firmware. If your iOS devices can successfully connect to other Wi-Fi networks, contact your router's manufacturer to ensure that your router is compatible with your iOS device.
See recommended settings for configuring your Wi-Fi router for use with iOS devices.

It seems that all apple products used in my house at times will not connect to our wifi. It's hit and miss. It says I am connected, but when you try to connect to any search engine it does not. I have disconnected and reconnected the power to the dsl provider and to our wifi units. I have rebooted the computers. I have reentered the password. Still no connection. We do not have connectivity issues with our PC products. Anyone have any answers for me?
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.

When I try to connect to my wifi on my iphone 4 a lock symbol comes up...what does that mean?
The lock symbol doesn't go away when you join your network. When you join it it will show a check mark next to it and a wifi symbol will appear on the top left of your screen.
