Please help! My iphone 3g wont connect to wifi after password change.

Hello Guru's,
I have the iPhone 3g and just love it. I am able to connect yo my wifi connection at home. However, recently, I had changed my wifi security password. After that, My iphone 3g does not connect. It used to automatically connect. I selected the "Forget this network" option, then reset the phone and started it again. But, it detects my wifi, asks me to enter password which i do(the new one) , it shows checked meaning connected. But nothing works, safari, apps store, just says not connected, please check your network. MY laptop works fine. IS there something I need to do! It works fine in other wifi spots.
Please help!
thanks

Special characters other than letters and numbers in your password can cause issues connecting as well.
Hope that helps,

Macbook pro wont connect to wifi after password change?

Hello all!
So my cable company reset my internet and for some reason added a password. I called them and found out that password and was able to connect with my iphone and ipad no prob. Last time I changed the passcode myself I couldnt get my macbook to connect no matter what even through trouble shooting etc.. So basically I went on my other windows laptop at that time and turned the password off well now that they put a password back on and I dont have that old windows laptop anymore im stuck. (Plus I really shouldnt be forced to unsecure my network just because my macs a brat) I cannot log into my router from my iphone nor ipad it simply says server cannot be found when I type in routerlogin.net/ other methods, though all other websites seem to work. On mymacbook I tried to make it forget the old wifi network network by launchpad-system preferences-network- advanced and when I try to log in an ! Shows over the wifi bars( note it never asks me for a passcode when I click the wifi network from the main desktop wifi Icon . ) I've clicked the no internet connection alert and went through the whole network diagnostics it takes forever and says a network change has been detected and I can finally put a passcode in. Once I do it says that the computer was unable to join because I entered an incorrect password or network name, chosen the wrong security type or am out of base range. All not true. Ive tried everything including creating a new user account etc . Any input would really be appreciated i'm really not that tech savy on apple products . Ive read similar forum posts but none that mimic mine completely.
(P.S. Please ignore my grammar-typing on an ipad is not fun)

Tap Settings App > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Then relog into WiFi. If still problem, maybe the WiFi Network you are using is the problem. If the WiFi is OK, then Restore your iPhone with current iTunes on your computer. See if better. If still a problem, make Genius reservation or set up Service and take or send to Apple for resolution under Warranty.

Iphone 5 wont connect to wifi

hi everyone,
I'm really getting frustrated with my iPhone 5. I can no longer connect to wifi in both of my homes. I type in the passwords that i KNOW are correct but i keep getting a message that says "incorrect password". I have reset the network settings and I did a restore on itunes and still it won't connect. I was at the Apple store today getting my iPhone battery replaced and told them about this issue. The guy then was able to connect me in the store so i felt pretty stupid. However, my phone wont connect to my home wifi or my residence wifi that are over an hour and a half apart. I have also unplugged my router and replugged it back in. Everyone else in my house can connect their phones no problem, and my macbook also connects fine too. Any suggestions would be helpful, this is getting really annoying.

What kind of security is on the WiFi router? If it is WPA2 / AES, you are among quite a few people having this problem.
I read in another post that you can set your client id to 'test' and it works. Someone else suggested setting a static ip for the phone on the router (NOT ON THE PHONE) via MAC address.
Apple is aware of the WiFi issue and they are working on resolving the issue.
If you cannot get the wireless to work at all, you can go to the Apple Store and have the device replaced.

HT1212 Please help! My Ipod wont connect to Itunes and has a thing I have never seen on the screen before.

When I plug in my Ipod touch it has a symbol on it saying connect to Itunes. When I connect it to Itunes it says I need to unlock my Ipod before I can connect to Itunes but my Ipod touch wont even let me put a code in, it just has that symbol. I tried uninstalling Itunes and restarting the computer then installing Itunes again but nothing changed. I have never heard of this before so I don't know what to do!

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
