Our ISP changed the way we access the internet. Since then, wireless devices such as iPhone, iPad and iPod won't connect to the wireless and hold on to it. Devices get on, but then drop the network and can't get back on. Then it will appear, magically.
Our devices keep getting dropped off the wi-fi. The computer and lap top are fine, but the iPad, iPhone, and iPod all keep losing access to the network.We have tried:
Resetting the D-link, restoring Airport Extreme to its factory settings, resetting netowrk settings, powering down devices, turning wi-fi on and off. It has been pretty frustrating to say the least. This all started after our ISP changed our... I am not sure what it is called, but the thing stuck on the house outside to broadcast across the valley to the mountain where we get our internet.... Any other fixes?
I guess the issue is the Airport Extreme. We put back our old D-link and everyone is on. The Extreme did not live up to my hopes - (guest network, limit wi-fi for my children's devices to a certain time period...) And, it didn't last long - I think it is only a year old, if that. I have restored it to factory settings but to no avail.... perhaps it was a dud. Is anyone else actually able to limit access? I set it up but it quit working over and over and the kids were on whenever. Then we started losing all the devices in the last few weeks - laptop fine for wi-fi, iPad, iPod, iPhone all randomly kicked off and let back on.
This is a great idea - and it would be worth replacing if I knew my new on would work. Thanks for replying lllaass!

Can't get my iPhone (iPad or iPod touch) to connect to wifi
I cannot get my iPhone 4s to connect to wifi in my home since the last two updates. It sees my network but says unable to connect. This not only happens to my iPhone 4s but to my iPad 2 and my iPod touch. Idk what else to do to get it to connect. My other non apple products work just fine on my wifi but my apple products wont. Please help me I am about to go crazy.

Do they connect to any Wi-Fi network?
If they connect to others, it's an issue with your router most likely. Start by power cycling the router.
If they do not connect to any Wi-Fi network, then it's likely a hardware issue. Although it is highly unlikely that 3 devices would have the same hardware failure. -

Backup on centralized Storage for multiple iDevices (iPhone, iPad and iPod)?
Dear all,
Firstly thanks for reading.
I recently won a Synology DS413 NAS. Lan connected to the a Asus Router.
I’ve multiple iDevices such as iPhone, iPad and iPod at home.
My home is fully wireless.
I want to have all my iDevices to have a backup copy on the NAS and sync inform such Photo, Music, Video and Contact.
Is this possible? Please kindly advice.michaelfromstockton on tees wrote:
I've found an easier way, just go to settings>general>usage>music. Then swipe it and press delete, i think this deletes the database described above, then re-sync, this worked for me anyway. Good luck, you need it with Apple software.
I don't have a large library of music on my iPhone 4s since I've only had it since Oct 2012, but since the update to iTunes 11 in early December, my album artwork has been all messed up. Everytime I would try to add new music, it would assign the wrong album artwork to anything new coming in. And in addition to that, it would also mess up album artwork of music already on my phone. Everything looked correct in iTunes, but on my phone, not so much. After trying to unsynch, then synching again, my frustration level was at an all-time high. This problem seems to be everywhere online, but no concrete solution for everyone.
I finally came across your simple solution (at least for me because of my small inventory of music) of just deleting all the music through the settings, and then re-synching to add back my music. Now all of the album artwork is correct again. I'm almost afraid to add new music for fear the artwork will get mixed up all over again! I still think my issue is somehow connected to the iTunes 11 update because up until then I had no issues whatsoever. Anyway, thanks for an easy solution that worked for me. -

OK so I just made a wireless network and using the apple box or whatever. And I want to change the network name. How do I do that?
Just want to confirm that I am also having this issue, The connection is fine, and it is in fact charging (@ 100%)
Everything Rick has said is like an echo to what is happening to me.
I have tried re-installing iTunes, and restarting the Bonjour service, sadly there is no change.
earlier before i updated iTunes it recognised my iPod but said that I had to update iTunes in order for it to work.
So i updated iTunes but now it's not even showing the device anywhere.
In case this helps:
OS: Windows 8.1
iTunes version: 11.3.1.8

A particular network user can't login to a mac in a classrom but other network users can. Then the network user can login to other identical macs in same classroom. Anyone seen this before? It has happen twice. Two different teachers in two different classrooms entering the correct user name and passwords and computer won't allow them to login. Then they try in different computers in same classroom and have no problem login.
Yes. I can login with a test user. And any other network user can login as well to this particular mac. Actually the mac has bootcamp and boots into either mac or windows. The same user entering the same login username and password can login into the windows side, but not the mac side.
I had this same issue last semester in another classroom, another mac and a different teacher. This summer I reformatted and imaged that mac and I asked that teacher to login today to that reimagened mac and she had no problem today doing so. -
I changed the network name of my time capsule and lost my airport express in the process.... I have tried all of the resets (soft/hard/factory default) suggested in other answers to people but cannot locate the network of my airport express. It just keeps flashing amber. I want to add it back to my time capsule to extend my network as it was before I reset the name. HELP
Which model of AirPort Express do you have?
If you are not sure, the model number is on the side or bottom of the Express. Hard to see.....you may need a magnifying glass. The model number starts with an "A" followed by four numbers.
Post back with that info.......if you want to get the Express set up again to work with the Time Capsule.
You do have another option as well, although you will have to think in reverse on this one.
Change the network name back to the original name on the Time Capsule, so the Express will work correctly on the network.
Now, change the network name on the AirPort Express. It will be blinking amber when you do this, so power it off.
Then, change the network name on the Time Capsule and let it restart.
Now, power up the AirPort Express and it will join up with the Time Capsule network since you have already programmed it with that information. -
I switched on my PC and there was an update for realplayer. Since then firefox will not open as a window. It is running according to Task Manager. I've downloaded a another copy of the programme using IE but whilst it loaded as a programme, does not open a window.
Hi again,
Helps if I give the correct link ! <br/>The press shift button appears to still work, but the option to start in safe mode from the programs listing of a standard install I do not think exists anymore.
Safe mode will start from a command line, (or a shortcut) and in some circumstances you may need to enter the full path name on a command or shortcut detailed instructions are at http://kb.mozillazine.org/Safe_mode
Remember (at least at this stage) do not make changes when you get the options list, just click on the continue button.
If you think that RealPlayer is causing the problem you could uninstall that for now.
Firefox recent versions are 3.6 4.0 (and 5.0 in beta). There is some debate as to whether creating new profiles or re-installing Firefox is the simplest method of troubleshooting and solving some of these problems, personally I use multiple profiles and multiple versions of Firefox, and tend to forget the required procedures are less than straightforward. For now at least try [[safe mode]] again.

How do I change the network settings on my Apple TV? We have two wireless options and need to switch.
Welcome to the Apple Community.
Settings > General > Network > WiFi and select your network. -
I just purchased an Apple TV. I have a pc running windows 7. It is connected to a router and the router is connected to a wireless router. I connect my iPhone, iPad and apple tv to wireless network but do not know how to put the pc on the wifi network so the Apple TV can do home share.
I don't mean to be facetious but sometimes the simplest things are overlooked. To connect to your library you have to have the computer where the iTunes library is located running and with iTunes open. It also needs to be on the same network. My network is dual band and works with either stream but a friend of mine does not. He has to set the computer and the Apple TV to the same band. Hope this helps.

We have a Windows XP desktop with iTunes for windows. The hard drive needs to be reformatted. Right now, the computer will not connect to other computers on the network. Can I save my iTunes songs to a thumbdrive, then re-load after reformatting? How do I do it?
Copy the entire iTunes folder out to the drive. If it is too big to go as one copy stuff over to another computer in batches. It is important to have not only the media but the library file in order to properly restore your library.
See also this User Tip. Assuming the machine won't connect to the internet you could download the SyncToy installer on another machine and then transfer it with the thumb drive. If it will connect to the net don't forget to deauthorize the machine before reformatting the hard drive.

Changing the network name on my wireless router?
I bought my linksys router a few months ago and did all the setup stuff that day, including changing the network name from the default. I want to change the name to something different, but when I went to the setup address, there was no box in which to put the new network name [I was on the Basic Wireless Settings Tab in the Wireless section]. Help please?
Solved!
Go to Solution.What is the model number of the router? Access your admin pages again and select wireless tab and then select the MANUAL button. There you will find what you seek (SSID).

Hello, I have an Iphone 3GS and can't connect to Game Center. It recognizes my apple ID account, states it was never used with Game Center. Then asks for country, birthdate, then returns to ask country again, then birthdate, and returns to the loop. Never ends the loop unless I cancel the setup process. I have restored the iphone to the factory settings and restored the backup, but did not work. Any suggestions on what can be the problem? thank you.
I just read another post that says you can go into a game that allows for multiple players and utalizes game center and enter your account information that way. I haven't tried it yet, but it seems to work for others that had this issue.

Tried the below and still no good - any suggestions
iOS: Wi-Fi settings grayed out or dim
Symptoms
In rare instances, the setting to turn on Wi-Fi on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch may appear grayed out or dim. You may see the following when you tap Settings > Wi-Fi.
If this occurs, you can't turn Wi-Fi on, and when you try to turn Wi-Fi on, your device won't respond. If you're using iOS 7, Wi-Fi may appear to turn on and off in Control Center, but Wi-Fi won't respond.
Resolution
Follow these steps to resolve the issue:
Restart your iOS device.
Make sure that airplane mode is off by tapping Settings > Airplane Mode.
Reset the network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
This will reset all network settings, including Bluetooth pairing records, Wi-Fi passwords, VPN, and APN settings.
Make sure that your device is using the latest software. To do so, connect your device to your computer and check for updates in iTunes.
If you still can't turn Wi-Fi on, please contact Apple for support and service options. If you can turn Wi-Fi on but are experiencing other issues with Wi-Fi, please see these steps.
Last Modified: Dec 9, 2013Your device has a hardware failure and only replacement or repair will fix it. Take it to an Apple Store or an Apple authorized service provider.
