TS1398 My iphone 4s will not automatically conect to my home wifi but does to other known networks what can I do ?

My iphone will not recognize all known networks but does some. What is the solution ?

Hi there Huskerscott!
I have some information here that can help you troubleshoot this issue:
Unable to automatically connect to Wi-Fi
Avoid giving your Wi-Fi network a common name.
Some wireless routers are preconfigured with a common SSID (network name) such as "wireless" or "default."
If your desired Wi-Fi network has a common SSID, try changing the SSID to something unique2.
If your desired Wi-Fi network has a unique SSID, reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
Note: This will reset all network settings including: previously connected Wi-Fi networks and passwords, recently used Bluetooth accessories, VPN and APN settings.

It also may be helpful to follow these settings, which are optimal for use with iOS and OS X devices:

My iPhone 5 will not automatically connect to my home wifi

My wifes iPhone 5 will not automatically connect to our home wifi, she has to log in each time (she has ios 6.1.4). Mine, however will connect automatically with no issues (we have same phone and ios). Here is what I have done so far to fix the issue and none have worked:
* I have reboted (hold home button and sleep/wake button)
* I have reset the network connections
* I have turned "ask to join" on, connected to the network, turned wifi off and then back on, it did not connect to the wifi
* I have manually connected to the network through the manual option, turned wifi off and then back on, it did not connect to the wifi
* I have erased all content and data and resored the backup from iTunes
* I have restored iPhone from iTunes and restored the backup from iTunes
My phone does not list a "forget this network" as an option on the wifi connection when I pull it up, so this is not an option. So, what else is there to fix the issue?

TS1398 my iphone 5 will not automatically connect to known wifi

i just got the new iphone five. i connected to my home wifi with no problem. when i leave and come back the phone will not automatically connect to the wifi. i have no problem's with my wife's iphone or the ipad. i went to sprint store they were no help. any suggestions?

I downloaded and installed the latest software for the iPhone 5 (Version 6.1.3) - the version originally installed was 6.1.2. Same problem exists - iPhone will not automatically connect to my home WiFi. Even after I select my network and it connects. If I turn WiFi off and then back on again, it will not automatically connect. The iPhone screen states "Known networks will be joined automatically. If no known networks are available, you will have to manually select a network." How do I get the iPhone to work as specified above? Thanks.

My Iphone 5 will not automatically connect to my wireless network

Each time I want to connect my home wireless, I need to go into settings and manually connect, rather than automatic connection, which is what happened with my i4s. How can I change this?

TS1398 Since I upgraded to iOS 7.0.2 my phone will not auto-connect to the home WiFi network.

I upgraded my iPhone 4S to iOS 7.0.2 and now my phone will not auto-connect to the home wifi network. Each time I leave and return to within range of the network I have to remember to manually connect, otherwise it continues to use 4G for data. The credentials are saved (all I have to do is tap it to connect) but just won't happen automatically any more.
Is anyone else seeing this problem?

Tried the reset multiple times. No go. Before the IOS 7.0,2 update my devices were connecting to home WIFI eventually.

Hi, my brand new iphone 4 will not play music through my music app but it will play videos through youtube and will play the sounds throught my games and will play text tones and facetime ect. what is wrong?

At least I'm not the only one with the issue. I was looking it up so see if others had the same problem and found a bunch of posts about it. I'm assuming it's not the phone then, it's the software. Should I bring it to the Apple Store? Replacing the phone seems stupid, because the phone isn't really the problem. It's the software! Maybe the iOS 5.0.2 will fix it??? I don't really want to wait though, it's a pain. If a lot of people have this issue it should get Apple's attention. They need to do something to fix it, ASAP!

My iPhone5S will no longer connect to my home wifi but others do.

My iPhone5S will no longer connect to my home wifi but others do. Mine will connect to other networks. I have rebooted the router and the phone, reset Network Settings, deleted the wifi network and reinstated it. Can anyone please help?

Good day Telbuoy,
Thank you for contributing to the Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like your iPhone 5s is not connecting to your home Wi-Fi network. You've done a good job of isolating this behavior to your iPhone and home Wi-Fi router.
There are a few more steps that I'd suggest trying next:
Make sure your iPhone is updated to the latest iOS version using the steps in Update the iOS software on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch.
Make sure your router is using the settings in Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points.
Update your Wi-Fi router with the latest firmware and make sure the router supports your Apple product. For more information, contact the manufacturer of your router. (from If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch won’t connect to a Wi-Fi network)
Best Regards,
Jeremy

IPhone 4s will not AUTOMATICALLY wi-fi sync with iTunes

I can manually Wi-Fi sync my iPhone 4s with iTunes without any problems (settings -> general -> iTunes Wi-Fi Sync -> Sync Now.) The problem is that this is the only way that it will Wi-Fi sync. It will not automatically Wi-Fi sync with iTunes when I plug it in to power each night.
I'm running iTunes 10.5 on Lion, iPhone 4S. iPhone is set to backup to iCloud. It does backup to iCloud each night, just no iTunes sync.
Any ideas why it won't automatically Wi-Fi Sync to iTunes each night?

I'm giving this a try to see if it fixes it: On my Mac under iTunes -> Preferences -> Devices, the box was checked for "Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically." I'm hoping this fixes the problem.

My iphone 5S will not allow me to delete mail only select 1 by 1 to trash how can I mass delete old emails

my iphone 5s will not let me delete emails, it will only allow me to select an email and move it to trash. the slide method ask more/trash, when selecting trash the message disappears but once you leave email and come back the message reloads. Also I cannot mass select multiple emails for delete. I can trash them only 1 at a time.

I cannot select multiple mails any more to delete them on my ipad 2. I've only noticed it since upgrading to 7.04 but cannot be sure that the iOS upgrade is the cause of it.
Same for both business and personal mailboxes.

IPhone 4S (iOS 6.1.3) connects to home Wifi, but not O2 or the_Cloud hotspots

Hello.
I have been having some issues connecting to hotspot wifi.
I can connect to my home and office wifi without a problem, but my phone will not automatically connect to wifi hotspots. When I try to connect manually, the phone hangs on the login screen before giving the message below. The phone is set up on O2 wifi and Sky wifi, but the issue is common to them both.
I have been told th eissue is due to the ports and Apple servers and there is currently no fix other than turning off wifi, then turning off cell data, then turning wifi back on - each time I want to connect to a wifi hotsport......
Has anyone with this version of iOS solved it and if so, can they post a link to the solution?
Thanks,
Stuart

By way of an update, I downloaded 6.1.3 via iTunes and then reinstalled my Apps and set-up mail using new settings. It was a bit of a pain, but at least it made me review the Apps I have. I re-sync'd with iTunes to put the music and podcasts back. I did not restore from a backup.
I tried connecting to The_Cloud and O2 WIFI hotspots and it works fine (without having to turn cellular data off)!
Thanks for your help.
