Router trouble with iPhone?

I had to reset my router, and after doing so my iPhone would not connect to my network.  I tried everything posted about it, but nothing worked.  I even hit the "forget this network" on the phone.  Nothing.  Well now I have the answer.  All I had to do was reset the router with a new network name.  If you use the same network name and you changed the network key on the router, the phone will not give you an option to input a new password for the network.  You have to make it think that it's connecting to a new router.  So, once I changed the name of my network on my router, the phone responded, I was able to input the new password (actually the network key) and my phone connected.  I hope that this helps some of you out there.

DId you try resetting the router?  Every now and then 6 months to a year, I have to unplugg the router and let it reset.  Not exactly sure what it is doing, maybe refreshing DHCP and other connections to the main routers, etc., but it works.

  • Are people still having trouble with iPhone/HP Laptops?

    Since I've had my Envy I've had no end of trouble with getting it and the iPhone to play nice. Any my search continues. So far, I have updated every bios, reinstalled Windows 7/iTunes many times, have restored the iPhone far more times than I care to remember and I am STILL having troubles with this thing. Having got through the Syncing issues with the PM55 chipset and iPhone I can now sync with my laptop. However all is not well as it would seem that I cannot sync my photo's. It doesn't matter if I have 0gb, 15gb or 30gb free, iTunes is telling me that there is not enough memory available. This error seems like an old one and there is even some info in the Apple KB but after following all that I still can't get it to sync my photo's.
    Some info on my setup:
    HP Envy 15 (all the latest drivers installed, bios F.24) Core i7-820, 8gb ram etc.
    iPhone 32gb, ver 3.1.3
    iTunes (whatever the latest one is)
    I should add that I can sync my iPhone with an identical install of intunes on my vintage Quad core desktop PC, but as I use my Laptop a lot more (and have all my media, email, and contacts etc on it) I would prefer to sync to it.
    Is there anything that I can do? Its very frustrating to have blown $4k on this equipment and it doesn't work...

    Well I tried deleting the photocache but alas, no luck. I also tried syncing with just the photo's enabled, and it worked! So then I enabled my other media and that copied across too! I thought I was on a bit of a roll here, but now whenever I try and sync it will do one of 3 things:
    iTunes will crash.
    iTunes will indicate that there is not enough memory on the device (+9GB free)
    iTunes will remove the iPhone from the sidebar (and my computer/disk management) even though it will continue to charge.
    Interesting point to note is that it works fine (cable/iphone/itunes/media library) on my desktop and macbook. Still really disappointed that I cannot get these two to cooperate. Also still haven't got any contacts from outlook but that may not be related?

  • Had trouble with iPhone 2.0 upgrade?  CHECK YOUR FILESYSTEM!!

    I can't find my original post (deleted?), but when I tried to do the first 2.0 iPhone upgrade the day it came out (BIG MISTAKE), I had a lot of trouble. Thanks to an Apple support person who was kind enough to call me, I deleted a file per his suggestion, which made the backup finish to completion and I was happy.
    Or so I thought...
    Now, several weeks later, I (or rather our IT guy) has discovered that some of my iPhone backup files were corrupted, which has made a mess out of my Macbook Pro (10.4.11)'s file system. It was not fixable with Disk Utility (in the Utilities Folder of the Application Folder) and only partially fixable with Disk Warrior. Nothing appears to be wrong with the hardware (except that my video port was malfunctioning although that problem had started way before the upgrade.)
    If you had trouble with the iPhone 2.0 upgrade, I strongly recommend you verify the integrity of your Mac Filesystem. If there's something wrong, you may need expert help in repairing your file system.

    Wingstat,
    It should still work fine. I have the original iPhone and Apple BT Headset purchased about a year ago. I upgraded to the new 2.0 software 2 weeks ago. BT Headset works fine.
    There has always been the occasional incident when I couldn't get the 2 to pair. This was always solved by un-pairing then re-pairing the two manually. To do this:
    With your BT Headset:
    Press and hold the headset's button until you here the 4, rapid descending tones
    Your headset is now off.
    On iPhone:
    Open SETTINGS, then GENERAL, then BLUETOOTH
    Under DEVICES, tap on the iPhone Bluetooth Headset link and select UNPAIR.
    Note: If your headset doesn't show up here... keep going...
    Tap on the DEVICES link again to put iPhone in DISCOVERABLE MODE
    Back to your Headset:
    Click and hold the button again... when you hear 4 ascending tones, keep holding
    Keep holding the button until you hear 5 rapid, short beeps
    Release the button: you're in DISCOVERABLE MODE here too.
    Back to your iPhone:
    You should see the Headset appear on your DEVICES list.
    It should pop up and ask for Pairing Code
    Enter 0000 on the iPhone.
    You should be all paired up for good now.

  • Troubles with iPhone 4...

    Hi
    I am using an iPhone 4, and I bought it a bit over a year ago. I updated the iOS to iOS 5.0, and after this my iPhone has troubles with talking to my computer... After I configurated it (which iOS 5 was so kind to do without asking...) it did not want to open any of my former Apps or showing any of my music on my iPhone. After configurating it a couple of times it started to show some signs of "restoring", but I still have troubles updating songs on the iPhone. In iTunes I can still change infomation on songs (such as album name, picture, artis and so on), but the changes never appear on my iPhone. I have tried shutting down the iPod program on my iPhone and restarting the iPhone without any luck. I am using the latest version of iTunes on a computer running Windows 7. The computer itself is a custome made, stationary, gaming computer, but the specs on it should not in any way cause these troubles. Anyone having any idea of how I can solve this? Thanks in advance

    On iPhone 4 with IOS 5.1.1 is there a power saving mode activated at some moment ? and if so is it configurable some where ?
    i ask because my problem seems to be that iphone enters power saving mode just like a PC ou Mac
    I also noticed that in this case it is very long to get it back started ...... much longer than a boot after a normal shutdown....
    Further more after a normal boot it ask the SIM Pin Number after this sort of wake up after power saving mode ...... it does not ask !

  • Has anyone faced troubles with iPhone internal speaker?

    Unfortunately, since I've bought my iPhone 4S less than 8 months, I'm facing troubles with the internal speaker of the phone.
    It was enough just to restart the device to get the ringtone and speaker work.
    But today, suddenly, the voice has disappeared again! I can hear the ppl calling me but no any other tones or rings r working.
    I googled for a solution, and I was shocked that I found a lot of iPhone users r facing the same problem!
    With all types of iPhone, seems it's been a long time problem with apple software that apple hasn't found a solution to it, nor admitting that they have such problem.
    I need to get my phone fixed, but I do t want to lose my data, photos, a d programs..
    And I DON'T WANT TO LEAVE MY PHONE AT A WORK SHOP! It's a HEADACHE?
    So please if u have any other easy solutions to provide, I'll be so thankful.

    Have you tried resetting your iPhone?
    Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds). Ignore the "Slide to power off"
    A further troubleshooting step would be to backup your iPhone and then restore it as new using iTunes.

    My music or audiobook starts on its own at times.  Can't figure out what is happening?  Is it a bluetooth issue?  Then I have to take it back to the beginning of book and lose my place.

    Camera is not functioning
    If the screen shows a closed lens or black image, force quit the Camera app.
    If you do not see the Camera app on the Home screen, try searching for it in Spotlight. If the camera does not show up in the search, check to make sure that Restrictions are not turned on by tapping Settings > General > Restrictions.
    Ensure the camera lens is clean and free from any obstructions. Use a microfiber polishing cloth to clean the lens.
    Third-party cases can interfere with the autofocus/exposure feature and the flash (iPhone 4 only); try removing the case if you have image-quality issues with photos.
    Try turning iPhone off and then back on.
    Tap to focus the camera on the subject. The image may pulse or briefly go in and out of focus as it adjusts.
    Try to remain steady while focusing:
    Still images: Remain steady while taking the picture. If you move too far in any direction, the camera automatically refocuses to the center. Note: If you take a picture with iPhone turned sideways, it is automatically saved in landscape orientation.
    Video: Adjust focus before you begin recording. After recording begins, you cannot readjust focus until you stop recording. Exiting the Camera application while recording will stop recording and will save the video to the Camera Roll. Note: Video-recording features are not available on original iPhone or iPhone 3G.
    If your iPhone has a front and rear camera, try switching between them to verify if the issue persists on both.

  • Having trouble with iPhone 5 sound level changing.

    When I touch the edges of the side of my iPhone 5, the phone vibrates and the sound level goes to zero.  I have to press the sound level button to change it back to whatever setting I had it at in the first place.  Any suggestions to solve or is this normal?

  • WOL and VNC troubles with iphone over internet

    Hi,
    I am currently trying to set up my ideal networking solution. What I am aiming for is the ability to use my iPhone 3GS to firstly wake up, and then control (using VNC) my macbook pro at home.
    I have a Belkin N1 Vision router connected to my cable modem, and the macbook is connected to the vision router via ethernet. On my iPhone, I am using the iNet Pro app, which has wake on lan functionality. Inside this section, I have added my routers internet IP address as well as UDP port 9 and also my macbooks mac address.
    The router is set up to forward all traffic on port 9 to my macbooks IP address, however, everytime I then select Wake Up, inside iNet Pro, the macbook does not wake up. Is this a problem to do with the N1 Vision not correctly forwarding magic packets to wake the macbook? This same app will work perfectly on my local network to wake all three of my computers!
    Any help in getting this all set up and working would be great!
    Thanks

  • Trouble with Iphone syncing

    My Iphone has trouble syncing. Its a hand-me down phone from another friend. I cannot sync my Iphone to another computer and when I try to sync with wifi, it says it is not able to sync and sync would resume when my "friends-pc" is available. The device isnt shown in the itunes sidebar either

    Have you restored the iPhone once in your possession?  Since it was synced on your friends computer wifi syncing will also be looking for that computer.
    As for the device not showing up in iTunes try the Assistant.

  • Trouble with iphone 4s and xbox

    Hi, I've owned my 4s for about 6 months now but resently i've started to have an issue with it.
    While my phone is sitting idle in the living room everything is fine but if i use it and when it comes out of idle and switched from saying 3g to wifi it will dissconnect my husbands xbox live connection. Is anyone else having this trouble for the last 4 weeks or so?
    We have tried the xbox on wired and wireless and it happens no matter how we connect it.
    Any help would be great thx!

    We've rebooted several times, even tried restoring to factory settings (the router this is) but no joy. Its runnning on the latest firmware. (Netgear WGR614 v6) on Virgin broadband.

  • Having trouble with iphone and ipad syncing

    Just got my iphone. Trying to get music on it. Only problem is that my daughter has an ipad that wants to sync all of her apps on to my iphone. the music is ok because its in a playlist. The apps try to sync even though I have checked it to not sync the apps. Dont know how to seperate the two different itunes. Also having trouble getting itunes to recognize my card number to purchase music.

    Well, if "deleted the account" actually means simply removed using that account on the iPad, and if the account turns out to be an iCloud account, then you would have no problem.
    Simply go to Settings > iCloud on your iPad and turn on Notes.
    But you've given us so little information (e.g., was your account in iCloud?  Dles "deleted" actually simply mean removed from iPad?) that it's hard to tell if this would actually solve your particular issue.

  • Having trouble with iphone battery life ?

    I bought the phone via applestore.com was delivered to my singapore address. The phone battery life is minimal does not hold for more than few hours and am anbale to reset or install any softwares as per battery life. If you could kindly direct as to wehre i can take the phone is singapore to claim warranty as am having trouble contatctin the apple support numbers.
    Thanks
    Munshid

    No, no trouble really. Although I am the third owner of this 3gs, I find the battery pretty hard to kill. I think all you people with lag and battery drain problems have one or more rogue processes running. Maybe one of the various system info apps from the app store could reveal if this is the case.
    Otherwise, try a restore or a restore as new.
