Not able to connect to wifi using iPhone 4 with OS5, sees the network but won't connect.

Recently upgraded my iPhone 4 to the OS5 and I keep having sporadic issues with connecting to my home wifi, it sees the network but never connects. I turned of Location Services and Cellular Data for that had worked sometimes, but now it just keeps spining and never connects. I tried to reset network settings, reset my wifi router and reset my phone and nothing, it will connect at my church for example and other places but not at home. I have MAC addressing security set on my router and I verified my iPhone MAC address is authorized. Any other suggestions?

Try restarting your router first, turn it off for a minute then back on. then go to settings on your phone, then wifi, tap on the blue arrow to the right of your wifi 's name, then tap forget this network. Then go to the home screen, Then hold the home and off button down until the apple symbol comes up. Then go back into wifi and try to connect.

After connecting to Bluetooth keyboard, iPad 2 will not connect to Internet (wifi) at all. Wifi is ok, have tried turning off bltooth, wifi on iPad. It sees the network but won't connect. Help? Have also reset network settings etc

My iPad wifi was working great until I I connected it by Bluetooth to a keyboard (zagg). It was the first time I'd used Bluetooth
Immediately Internet was dropped on my ipad. My iPhone was and is still connected no prob. And I cannot get the iPad wifi to work again....at all!!!
This is major as I am away from my desktop for three months. Any fix cannot involve being at my desktop with iTunes which is 10,000 km away
So far This is what I've tried based on other discussions-
-turned Bluetooth off and unpaired to keyboard which was also turned off
- turned iPad wifi off and on (several times)
- forgot the network I useArrive Jul 19 depart Aug 25th. Originally it was Sept 9.
-- reset network settings
What happens is that the iPad sees the network and I enter my password. But, instead of getting "check mark" indicating a successful connections it keeps "circling". Sometimes the airport bars will show, but disappear or flicker. It never connects with a check noted in settings. Any attempts to use internet confirm there is no connection
My network is not a cafe or public network. It is one I regularly use here at my family's home where I am visiting
Any ideas!

Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.

IPhone 5 Wi-Fi problems: "sees" the network, but won't connect

Hi everybody,
For the past 3 days I've been having sudden problems with my brand new iPhone 5 (version 6.0.2 {10A551}).
It just won't connect to the internet, no matter what I do. It actually "sees"the availble networks, but when I put the password in, it says"Unable to connect to the network".
I tried Resetting Network settings and All Settings, to no avail.
The irony is that I get Facebook notifications, App of the day Notifications, occasional mails, but nothing else. Email sync is erratic, and always with the little round circle where the WiFi icon should be. No Whatsapp, Viber, etc.
I'm totally baffled and equally desperate.
Can anyone help me please?
Many thanks in advance and Happy New Year to all thread readers.
Joyce

Just got a new Airport Express to replace an old ond that dropped off a lot. Works great with various Apple and Androids but Win 8 computer sees the network but can't connect.

Hello lucky3480;
I don't know what else to do. I'm thinking of possibly returning the unit and purchasing a wireless internet card to install in the tower. Any help you can provide would be great. Even suggesting a good wireless card at this point
Well it looks like you're not having any luck at all with this AX set up but please don't give on it just yet, it's a good choice for extending your Network. Your on the right path, just going backwards and in the wrong direction. You'll learn a lot about stuff this way but may lead to other issues.
Before I continue, let me know if you have returned the AX or still need help. Here's a link to Apple's PDF about [Designing AirPort Networks|http://manuals.info.apple.com/enUS/Designing_AirPort_Networks10.5-Windows.pdf] Click on it to open in Safari but then save it to your desktop. Now open it from your desktop and start reading Chapter 3, page 42.
Later...

My hotspot won't connect my computer to the internet since I upgraded my phone to ios7. The PC sees the hotspot but won't connect. The op sys on the PC is windows 7 ultimate. Can anyone help?

Glad to hear it is all straightened out. You are right about the upgrade cost. That is one reason why Adobe switched to monthly licensing—no more upgrade cost <g, r, & d>. Of course we do have nearly monthly product upgrades. It is almost like playing whack a mole.

Apple tv is connected to the network but won't connect to internet?

My apple tv 3 is connected to our wireless network but will not connect to the internet. I also cannot turn on home sharing. All the other wireless devices in our house have no problem with the internet. I have hooked the apple tv up to the computer and restored the factory defaults but that did not help. Any suggestions?

have you tried connecting using ethernet to see if it's a wifi issue ?
and have you verified that the required ports are allowed on the network ?

IMac sees the ethernet but won't connect to the internet

we had a power outage that crashed the imac. now it won't connect to the internet. the imac can see the ethernet connection. we have several other apple and dell devices that all see the internet so it's not cabling or hardware. it's a cable modem connection that uses automatic DHCP configuration. I've created a new Location setting with no change. I'm assuming that there is a corrupted file since all the other systems connect fine. any idea which one it may be or what else I should be looking for?

Shot in the dark, but did you try an SMC reset?
SMC Reset
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer’s power cord and disconnect peripherals.
Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
Release the power button.
Attach the computers power cable.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.

My mac can see the network but won't connect to the server

I have an intel Imac. The network connect is working but very squirrelly. I see most objects on the network. I can see the server but it will not let me connect.
I go to another mac and I can connect to the server. So I think its my mac 10.7.5 is the OS

Probably nothign to do with your iMac or OS X, have you attempted resetting your router? Also you haven't stated what messages you are getting or any other information. If this is at your work then I'd suggest contacting your IT support person, the connection to your network may be on their end.

Windows XP laptop sees wireless network but won't connect

I set up a wireless network on my airport extreme using my MacBook. The McBook runs great on the wireless network. My old Dell laptop running Windows XP sees the wireless network I created (with full signal strength) but every time I hit "connect" I get the following error message, "Windows is unable to connect to the selected network. The network may no longer be in range. Please refresh the list of available networks, and try to connect again." When I referesh the list, the wireless network is still there, and i still cannot connect, getting the same error message.
Any suggestions?

Hello apetera. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
Per chance are you using WEP for your wireless encryption?
If so, one of the problems with WEP is that the actual standard relies on a 10 character HEX key for 40bit WEP and a 26 character HEX key for 128bit WEP.
In order to make things easier, vendors use certain algorithms to convert simple alphanumeric passwords (or passphrases) into HEX keys, thus enabling the use of simple easy to remember WEP password rather than lengthy HEX keys. The problem is that different vendors use different algorithms to generate the HEX key and therefore a ASCII password on an AEBS will be hashed differently on a non-Apple client and vice versa.

Since my software update none of my music that I did not purchase through itunes work on my iphone? It sees the songs but none play. How do I resolve this issue?

Hello,
Since I updated my iphone none of my music that I did not purchase through itunes no longer works on my iphone. It is weird, the music is on the iphone but in gray and the iphone does not recognize it. The only songs that I could play are my songs that I downloaded on my phone that were purchased through itunes.
Another error: When I purchase a new song on itunes it doesn't put the song in my purchased playlist like it used too. In order for me to play that song I just purchased I have to go back to the itunes store and play it directly from the place I purchased it from which is super annoying.
Frankly I am really disappointed with the constant errors from upgrades that should be "Up grades" Not "down grades". Not sure why is going on but not seems to work the same anymore. Does anyone have any idea what is wrong with my iphone music?
Thank you,
Dago

You will probably lose the music.
Why is it not on your computer?
Have you failed to maintain a backup copy?

I had to move my modem and router, when I reconnected them my desktop connected fine but I can not get the iPad to connect to the internet. It recognizes the network but won't connect to internet.

I recently had to unplug my router and modem. When I reconnected and rest them my desktop computer connected finr but I am having trouble getting my ipad to reconnect.

Satellite L300-135 sees WLan network but won't connect

Well, (new laptop) initially it worked with my BT hub at home... then decided to stop working - recieves no signal or response from the router - even though other laptops in the house can connect without any problem
and now the wireless does not work - ie. I can see the wireless connection but cannot connect.
I'm sure the wireless is not switched off (before anyone suggests so)
I searched for more up to date drivers but nothing seems to work.
Please help!

Hi
First of all you should check if your WLan card has been recognized properly.
I mean you have to check it in the device manager!
Your WLan card should be the Realtek 802.11g(RTL8187B)
Download and install the newest WLan driver from the Realtek page.
Then update the BIOS.
Finally configure all the WLan settings again.
In device manger -> WLan card properties -> Advanced tab disable the power saving settings and check other settings which could affect the connectivity.
Good luck

If, using an iPad connected to wifi, I made a call to an iPhonxe 4S not connected to wifi using FaceTime, would it cost the person using the iPhone anything?

At your end you will be using your WiFi signal. At the other end the iPhone would be using the 3G cellular signal. The cellular plan would need to be provisioned to allow FaceTime calls over cellular.
