Since I upgraded to ISo6 my iPhone 4s will not retain Wifi passwords

Hello
I'm hope that someone can help as this problem is driving me NUTS.
Since I upgraded both my Iphone 4s and Ipad 3 to ISO6. I've had nothing but problems with Wi-Fi access, inititally neither machine would remember the home networks (or any others) then suddenly the IPad3 fixed itself but still my Iphone 4s will not retain the password.
It was always able without any problems to retain the passwords for any Wi-Fi networks before the upgrade - but no more.
I've tried pretty much everything that I read about from a reboot, resetting the wifi setting, resetting all settings, a factory reset and a restore - nothing helps! The iphone connects to the network no problem - but if you go out or if the phone locks and more than 30 minutes goes by - it'll have forgotten the networks and will require that you reenter the password. Which is getting more than annoying.
Given what I've tried I'm thinking that the software somehow got screwed up a little when it installed and I need to completely reinstall the ISO. I also noticed the personnel hotspot is missing!
Any help really appreciated as it's driving me crasy.
Richard.

I read someone said you can tap on "other" when selecting which wifi you connect to and then entering the exact wifi name of the network you wish to join and the password and then joining that network allowed the password to be saved. Also with iOS 6 the minimum length of the password needs to be 8 characters. Maybe you password on your router is less than 8 characters long

IPhone 5 will not accept WiFi password

I reset my network settings (Settings - general - reset - reset network settings), to try and resolve an issue with my cellular signal strength. Now I can not connect to the WiFi network at the company I own and set up. This iPhone always connected instantly.
Every time I type in the correct password, a screen comes up that says "incorrect pasword for XCAF4". I know that this is the correct password.
Has anyone had this issue and if so, what is the solution? I have tried rebooting and performing a hard start on my iPhone. I have turned the cellular and WiFi on and off. I have rebooted the router.

Is your iPhone able to join other Wi-Fi networks?
If it isn't try having a Genius take a look at it.
If it is able to join other Wi-Fi networks, try updating the router and setting it up again with these suggestions in mind -> iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points

IPhone will not retain wrt54g password

Hi all. I have a iphone that will not retain the password for a WRT54g. Each time I leave the house, I have to renter the wifi password on my phone. It remembers other networks, just not the house. I'm clueless on modems, so if you suggest that I do this or that,...... Dumb it down A LOT! Thanks!

You just need to ensure router’s firmware is updated. Reset the router and reconfigure. You can download firmware from this link http://homesupport.cisco.com/en-us/support/routers/WRT54G.

Since my I upgraded to ios7 my iPhone 4 will not charge, battery completely dead. Any ideas

Since my I upgraded to ios7 my iPhone 4 will not charge, battery completely dead. Any ideas

I updated my iphone 4 to ios7 three days ago. It now will only charge if connected to a computer USB port, either Mac or windows. It no longer charges on any wall mounted USB cable, like it did before the upgrade. The wall mounted cables still work just fine with an iPhone 4S and a new iPad retina display but not at all with the iPhone 4. Took it to a genius at apple store and they checked the battery. It still charges to 80% of original. They were clueless and suggested I replace the unit. It seemed to be related to ios7

Since I upgraded to OS 6 my ipad will not connect to my WiFi

Since I upgraded to OS 6 my ipad will not connect to my WiFi unless I am right next to it. if i walk more than three feet away it looses connection. I have tried the brightness, resetting the network settings, changing the channel on my router...help. I have century link in Phoenix arizona. modem/router is a
ZyXEL - PK5000Z. It seems to work ok on my work wifi.
My iphone and netbook work perfectly with it. I do have an upgrade to the software on my iphone, but I fear that will loose wifi as well.

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

I am having trouble with my iphone5. I finally had SFR after 2 hours or more waiting to switch the service of the sim card. The phone worked finally but after upgrading my itunes, the iphone 5 will not even let me sign in nor give password.

I was so happy to receive my iphone5 today but, happiness turned into frustration. The new sim card was unlocked etc... The phone finally worked after 2 hrs or more and since I upgraded my itunes, the phone is blocked. It will only let me after being turned on unlock the phone. Once I get to ID apple and password, I can put it in but, then it says it has timed out. It also says I cannot connect to the server. What is going on???
I am in France and there is no Apple Store open on Sunday, my phone service is closed as well.
I hope somone can help me asap.
Thanks

I think you can solve your problems by removing your AppleID email address from BOTH the Messages setting on your iPhone and the iMessages settings on your Mac.
On iPhone:
Settings > Messages > iMessage > Dissabled
Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > touch the "(i)" < touch "Remove This Email"
On Mac:
Open "Messages" application
Click "Messages menu > Preferences
Click "Accounts"
Select your AppleID account
Under the "You can be reached for messages at" settings, uncheck your AppleID email address and your phone number
Then uncheck the "Enable this account" setting
And lastly, ask all of your friends with iPhones to delete all iMessage conversations (blue bubbles) in their entirety.
To test, send a friend a new text using their phone number (not their email address) and watch the color of the bubble. If it's green then you are using SMS.

New Iphone 4s will not accept email password

I received my new Iphone 4s in the mail yesterday and went to AT&T to have them set it up. Everything was working until today when my backlight went out. I had to make an appointment and go to the apple store and reveived a new phone. Now after updating my phone and trying to set up the email, it is not accepting my password for my yahoo mail account. I have tried multiple times and each time after typing it in I get a message that says Yahoo! server unavailable please try again later. However I can log into my email fine on the computer.

Delete the account on your phone then set it up again.

TS1398 my Iphone 4 S will not accept Wifi Passwords - for some Wifi locations

@ some locations my Iphone 4 S would not accept the Wifi Password , gives me a error " incorrect Password " - any suggestiions ? It connects with my Home linksys moderm .

Only the wireless carrier to which the iPhone is locked can
unlock it. If the iPhone is locked to Orange, you have to
work with Orange to get it unlocked. Perhaps someone
more familiar with UK wireless providers will jump in as
to the 30 day period, but generally the wireless provider
sets the unlock requirements. It sounds like Orange is trying
to discourage unlocking or at least make it inconvenient.

After upgrading to itunes11 my iphone 5 will not sync with either the cable or wi-fi any sugestions

I have reinstalled itunes 11 and that didn't help either any sugestions?

Thanks. We actually contacted Apple and they gave the same suggestion. Finally got it past the sync portion and have the phone activated. howeve, it did not transfer over contacts, notes, etc . . .

Since I upgraded to Firefox 4.0, it will not open. It also doesn't show up in Task Manager (Windows XP).

I can't open it from the Start Menu, from my shortcut or clicking directly on the exe. Nothing happens at all.

Click the Firefox button, then Options | Options | Tabs and make sure "Always Show Tab Bar" is checkmarked.
Also, click the Firefox button, go to Add-ons | Extensions and if you see "Ask Toolbar" in there, remove it. There are compatibility issues between the Ask Toolbar and Firefox which will cause this kind of problem.
