Playbook is unable to connect to wi-fi? had no problem connecting till this evening....is there a fix for this?

my playbook 3252 has been connecting to the wi-fi via a router with no problem until today,,,,,now it won't connect (last time connected was at 4am this morning) at all, even manually...says unable to acquire IP address. Have checked and rechecked security settings and all are correct. my laptop is able to connect thru this wi-fi connection, my friend can connect as well, but my playbook is not. Any info to correct this problem is appreciated or if anyone else is having same problem.....my playbook is only days old, woud hate to have to return because of this problem. thanx
Solved!
Go to Solution.

While I am NOT tech pro, I just refuse to sit by and not seek the answers to my problems. I scanned some of the other postings under various subject titles and found nothing of use to me....so now very tired after this long day of trying to get answers, I decided to reboot my playbook and have another look at the Wi-Fi under set-up and then under settings.........I have found the problem and corrected it myself! I went into the wi-fi under settings, checked to ensure wi-fi on...it was, then I clicked on the drop down menu (beside Select a network) and tabbed saved networks....there I looked over my saved connections and then tapped the connection I've been trying to connect to and reviewed all the info required for connection...
the profile name-ok,
SSID- ok,
Enable IPv6-left blank,
Use HTTP Proxy-left blank,
Allow inter-access point handover- uncheck'd this (yep this is what fixed it)
save and connect....YES!! we have connection to Wi-Fi via my router again!
I will do the same for my other connection as well.....

Looking up definitions on the screen using Apple Dictionary? What application? Using shift+command+4, capture what you are referring to, and then use the camera icon in this posting toolbar to include it in your response.

HT6010 Unable to turn on wifi on my iPhone 4 after the iOS 7.03 update. Is there a fix for this?

After installing the iOS 7.0.3 update on my iPhone 4S I am unable to turn on wifi. Is there a fix for this?

Not really.
I upgraded to ios 8.0.2 and the problem goes on.
I restored it to factory settings, and started installing every app, one by one, and the Copy + Paste problem still happens.
I have an iPhone 4S 32GB

Since the latest update to OX I have been unable to download the contents of some emails because pages does not support the font they are created in. Is there a fix for this?

Hi, since I installed the latest update on my Mac I have been unable to open the contents of some emails because it is saying that pages does not recognise the font. For example it is saying 'some features aren't supported, the font Calibri isn't available on OS X. It was replaced with TrebuchetMS' This means that I cannot open letters from my daughters school. Is there any way round this other than getting rid of this nightmare MAC and going back to Windows!?

Iphone 4s unable to send mms over gprs, is there a fix for this?

OK so after much hunting around the net and many calls to both my network provider and apple i found this link myself http://www.nowsms.com/iphone-mms-message-send-failure-on-gprs-and-edge that answered my problem. The answer being there is no solution :-S ............ so im now asking here if anyone knows of a fix or work around for this problem.

Howdy there Tuna241,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like your iPhone is restarting unexpectedly after the update to iOS 7.0.2.
I recommend the steps outlined in the article named:
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
After at least 30 minutes, if:
The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
If the display turns on, go to step 4.
If the display remains black, go to next step.
Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
Regards,
Sterling

Safari 6.0.1 won't load web pages randomly, and says website unavailable/no connection. But, all my other devices do have a great connection. Is there a fix for this problem?

I recently bought OS X mountain Lion, and safari 6.0.1 was running great for a short period of time when it stopped loading the web pages. It will randomly do this now and then. I try resetting safari to no avial, and when I do a system reset it provides a temporary fix. It's very annoying problem. I know it is not a connection problem because all my other devices get internet connection. Safari will say no connection/web site is unavailable. The OS I have is OS X ML 10.8.2. Any suggestions?

I do a system reset
System reset ???
Try a different DNS ...
Quit Safari.
Open System Preferences / Preferences then select the Network tab. Click the Advanced tab then click the DNS tab.

Yes, have your network person turn off "hidden" or "invisible" on your WiFi router.

Since I updated to ios 5.1.1 I'm getting " Unable to download podcast" error? Is there any fix for this?

How can I fix unable to download podcast error, even if I retry it gives me the same message with all the podcasts I have in my iPhone. How can I fix this?

Are you seeing the same message with Apple's Podcasts app? More info about the Podcasts app here -> About the Podcasts app for iOS
Is this happening with all podcasts? Maybe the server that hosts that podcast is down or it's having problems, try testing with one of the other top rated podcasts.

I recently noticed that several of the movies I purchased in ITunes no longer will play. A notice screen pops up and says they are unable to locate. The do however play on my new AppleTV that I just set up. Is there a fix for this?

Just recently I noticed that several of the movies I have purchased from Itune no longer will open and a screen pops up and ask if I would like to locate the file. I can however open all of them in my newly set up AppleTV, so I am confused as to "where are they?"

Hi Paddy...
Try re downloading the movies. You won't be charged again.
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

My Jawbone Icon pairs with my MBP but then has an error (There was an error connecting to your audio device...). Is there a fix for this?

See Question...MacBook Pro Lion 10.7.1 and Jawbone Icon not working correctly.

I may have already resolved this issue buy removing the device from my computer and re-pairing it. It is currently working just fine.

For the last two days I have been unable to access my e-mails over 3G network....it only works when I switch 3G off! Is there a fix for this? Please help!

Please Help!!!!

It helped earlier but it has come back again. I don't know what to do. I tried what you said earlier but this time even this is not working either. And quite intrestingly my phone won't turn off. I turn it off, it goes off and then restarts on its own and then keep giving the same message again and again.
Could it be a charging cable, is there any chance that the cable which was working fine one day could turn to be "incompatible" with iphone the other day????????
Please help

I had no problem connecting to my network and now all of a sudden I can't connect. Instead of prompting me for a password it comes back and says unable to join the network ("name") and then the option is Dismiss. Anyone else have that problem?

I had no problem connecting to my network and now all of a sudden I can't connect my iPad. Instead of prompting me for a password it comes back and says unable to join the network ("name") and then the option is Dismiss. Anyone else have that problem? I've gone thru all my settings and can't seem to find a way to log into my network. Don't get the option to put in my password. It just give me the name of my network and option of dismiss instead of password.
