Passport Wireless Does not connect

Ever since I downloaded and installed the newest OS version for the Passport(10.3.0.1418) I can't connect my phone via wireless. The phone shows the wireless spot but just doesn't want to connect. Is there a bug in the OS version i am using? If so then how can I get any OS update/fixes if the wireless does not work?

if you renamed your MyPassport to be something else (for example) mypassport555, then you need to enter: mypassport555.localThat was the most helpful thing I read today, so I'd to register to reply and thank you.Thanks for that, pal. Really appreciate it.

When I wake my iMac from sleep, the wireless does not connect. I have to shut shutdown and then restart and then it connects. I am running Lion 10.7.3 Any thoughts?

Been waiting along time for this problem to be fixed. Unfortunately the update hasn't help at all and even made the situation worse. Now my airplay connection from iMac to stereo abruptly stops after about 10-15 min. so I have to go over and quit wifi, start it up and find my airport network. Not sure why it always has a problem with the apple airport network. My neighbor's pc network is always there.

My early 2009 Mac Pro does not connect via bluetooth to my sound bar or bluetooth mini speakers. Both my wireless keyboard and mouse have no problems connecting. What do I need to do to connect to external bluetooth devices?

I would always have a wired keyboard and mouse on hand (need not be expensive ... any cheap wired devices will work). "Emergency recovery" procedures can activate features in random order, so the opportunity to select a recovery partition may pass before the wireless devices are recognized.
That will let you select the "turn on Bluetooth" icon.

My home wireless is no longer recognized, even going through the set-up process. It does not connect to the car through Bluetooth seamlessly--I have to add my phone as a new device each time I get in the car. In attempting to solve these problems I have gone to settings-phone-upgrade and it states that the upgrade is available-select to continue-(which I do)- it checks -please wait and it then states that update not available - try later.

Maybe not too late to help you.
For specifically fixing the Bluetooth, un-pair your phone with the car, and go through the process of repairing the two.
In general, the KK update requires many of us (different phones) to perform a Factory Data Reset after we back up our personal content (pictures, music, movies, or other downloaded files) to a PC or MAC. This will result in you having to do a bit of work to setup icons for the programs you use, and maybe putting in the specifics again for email accounts and other specialized apps. So if you are going to do this sort of thing... copy important information/settings down on paper.

Ethernet Connects/Wireless Does Not

Hello-
I am setting up a DSL connection through SBC. They have provided me with a 2Wire wireless modem (Model #2701). I am able to connect through my ethernet cord just fine, but the wireless will not connect. Actually, to be more exact, I can connect through the wireless, but the web pages time out when I open up Safari (airport shows the network and accepts my password).
I have gone through 2Wire's website and SBC's as well, but have found nothing that helps fix the situation. Same goes with this discussion forum...
Anyone have any idea of what I can do to get a wireless connection that does not time out?
Thanks in advance.

The numbers are only relevent to wireless. Your cabled connection will work, whether you put numbers in or not.
You say:"+yes I am sure that it is not the problem because it is accepting it and not giving me any errors+"
Which "it" is accepting "it"?
If your wireless card in mac isn't turned on, I think you could enter ANY numbers, and still get no errors.
Have you enabled your airport ? (MenuBar, upper right, I think)
Can you see anyone else's wireless network name? Ever connected before over wirelss? (hope I didn't miss that six or seven msgs ago)
Yep, you said you're seeing the network name. Can you connect to 2Wire using ethernet cable, turn OFF encryption, then try wireless again?

Is my original iPad compatible with iHome iDM12 wireless speakers? I am having trouble pairing. iPad sees device but does not connect.

It should be it the iHome supports the bluetooth profiles that the iPod supports. See:

Try resetting the iHome if it was previusly paired to another device.

System Preferences>Network, click on the little gear at the bottom next to the + & - icons, (unlock lock first if locked), choose Set Service Order.
The interface that connects to the Internet should be dragged to the top of the list.
Instead of joining your Network from the list, click the WiFi icon at the top, and click join other network. Fill in everything as needed.

My new airport express does not connect my printer to my computer? My old airport did! then I updated to OS 10.9.2. How do I get it connected?

HP 6700 all in one wireless printer, got the latest Comcast router. None of which connect to my computer wirelessly. Which do I throw away the printer, router, or Mac? Help

Contact HP for support.
Explain that you are using a Mac, anticipate the inevitable groan, and wait patiently for their resident Mac expert to return from vacation.
Until then download and install its driver here: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?product=5058338&cc=us&dlc=en &lc=en
Otherwise return the printer and purchase one from a company that visibly supports OS X. HP isn't on that list.

I have a new HP Photosmart Premium that does not connect to our ATT router we use for 2

We just purchased a new HP Photosmart Premium to work on our ATT wireless router with two laptops. It does not connect to our ATT wireless network with the error "No filtering" FAIL indications. Why?

There could be several reasons for this.
Let's try this: cycle power on the router, let it restart a couple of minutes then try it again.
If that does not work, we may need to adjust some settings in the router. ISP supplied routers are not the best.....
Say thanks by clicking "Kudos" "thumbs up" in the post that helped you.

Ipad mini does not connect SOME wifi

My iPad mini does not connect some wifi. I tried all instructions like resetting settings, on-off router, manuel configuration but it is still same. I am using same router at my home and with same confiqs, it is connecting there, other iPads, iPhones are also connecting to wifi here, It also connects some other wifi's.
I've read that there is no solution, I have to change it.
Do you have any other idea? Because here-Turkey- it is not easy to do it like USA.

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Hello, Arkh_tyi.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Sometimes a simple power cycle of the router can correct the issue that you are experiencing. However, the issue could be a little more complex. Wi-Fi routers need adjustments to settings periodically for optimized performance with the constant progression of wireless device technology. Below, I have included two articles. The first article will cover basic Wi-Fi troubleshooting regarding iOS device connection. The second article cover the recommended settings for current Wi-Fi access points.

Hi Damien,
Thanks for your reply.
I had not created 2 separated wireless network. The airport extreme has had create wireless allowing it to be extended and the airport express has had it to extend since day 1.
The only device that does not connect to the airport express when it is far from the airport extreme here is the iPhone 4. I've tested 2 Windows based computers, 2 Macs, 1 Samsung TV and 1 Android phone and they all are able to connect to the airport express when the signal from the airport extreme is weak (please take a look on the screen shots on the original post).
The screenshots of the 2 devices' wireless set up can be found below:

I have seen other people here on the Apple discussions complaining about the same issue with their iPhone 4 and iPad: would it be a iOs problem?
