My girlfriend just got an iphone 4s and she might sell it bc she doesnt like it so i gave her my information to login to her new iphone so she can just test it out so she doesnt have to set up a new account... anyways once she signs my user name and password on her iphone will it notify me on my iphone that someone is signing it? Will it allow it? And will she see all my text messages even from imessage and phoTos? Will it show her all my deleted text messages?? once she setups her iphone using my account information and she synces everything will it synce all the contacts and messages and pictures ?? Just curious to what all will happen i dont want it to lock my account or anythin
g im okay with her useing my information or seeing my stuff ..anyways once she signs my user name and password on her iphone will it notify me on my iphone that someone is signing it?
No.
Will it allow it?
Yes
And will she see all my text messages even from imessage and phoTos?
Only received iMessages, depending on how she sets it up. No SMS or MMS
Will it show her all my deleted text messages??
No
once she setups her iphone using my account information and she synces everything will it synce all the contacts and messages and pictures ??
Yes, if she restores your iCloud backup to her phone, and sets up the same iCloud account
Just curious to what all will happen i dont want it to lock my account or anythin
g im okay with her useing my information or seeing my stuff ..
You sound a bit more that that... I don't understand why you gave her your account info just to "test it out" - creating her own account is quick, easy, and free. If you have even the remotest concerns, you don't have to "lock" your account - just change your password.

My iPhone 4s will not connect with my home WiFi network. I have ios6 on my iPhone. The connection was working perfectly before I updated my IMac and my MacBook Pro to ios 10.8.2. I have had ios6 since I purchased the phone a couple of months ago. It searches for a network and finds them, but when it asks for my password, it will not accept the password. Have never had this happen before.

IPad was connected to my home WiFi, but now won't connect. my phone has no problem connecting though
IPad won't connect to my home WiFi. Was connecting fine then stopped. My phone has no problem connecting to same WiFI. Confused.
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 problems connecting to my home wifi with my iphone4s
Over the past couple of weeks I have experienced a problem connecting to my home wifi service (Sky) with my iphone4s although my laptop connects fine. My phone also picks up the wifi at my place of work. At home when in close proximity to the router (netgear) on the phone the network name appears in the wifi settings but on the wifi networks page it does not get a tick against the name (wheel just keeps revolving). I have taken it back to the retailer (Vodaphone) and they recommend it be sent back to Apple (Liverpool or Manchester) as they consider it a hardware fault. I will be without the phone for probably 1-2 weeks and I use it within my working environment regularly.
Has any one any ideas?
jd
ps. If I go down the route of 'forget this Network' will I need to do any resets on the router as I cant find the username and password when I enter my IP address for the router.are u there

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,

When my daughter tries to connect to our home wifi, she has to be in the basement within 5 feet of our modem. Once she comes upstairs she loses the connection. All of our other devices connect to the wifi on all levels of our house, including her Dad who also got an iphone 4 and her ipod works as well as her brother's ipod and my blackberry. I have tried resetting the network settings to no avail. I have already had our modem rebooted through our internet provider so I know the signal is good (as well as all other devices connect to wifi) I am losing sleep over this and she is quite frustrated so any help would be appreciated. I'm starting to wonder if it's a defect in her phone???
Is her iPhone in a case by any chance? If so, remove the case and try again. How does her iPhone work in free Wi-Fi locations?
Try resetting the iPhone...
Press and hold the Home and On/Off buttons simultaneously until you see the Apple logo, then release. This may take up to 10 seconds. This is the equivalent of a re-boot and you will not lose any data.
If none of the above work take it to an Apple store or AASP for evaluation. She will not be charged folr this and they will suggest a solution if there is a fault. -
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?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.
Which is taken from this article:
iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1398
It also may be helpful to follow these settings, which are optimal for use with iOS and OS X devices:

My Iphone 5 all of a sudden won't connect to my home wifi.
About a week ago, my phone stopped connecting to my home wifi. Every time I try and connect to it, a message pops up that says unable to connect. I've tried restarting my phone, resetting my network settings, turning the data off, turning airplane mode on and nothing is working. My phone will connect to any other network with no problem. When I took it to Verizon they told me to make sure my software was up to date, which I did and it still will not connect. Any suggestions?
Your home wifi may possibly be having issues. Call the company that does your wifi and they should send someone out to service it.

My iPhone 3G won't display or connect to my home wifi network
Hello!
I have an old iPhone 3G that my dad gave me a long time ago. It had some problems, but I figured that's just 'cause it's old. But now I really don't know. One of its biggest (and only) problems is that it refuses to connect to my home wifi network. In fact, when I go to Settings > WiFi, it won't even display my network (it did once, but failed to actually connect), or any network, actually. I found once that in Settings > General > About > Network (Not Available), it tells me "SIM not provisioned". I've heard that you don't need a SIM card at all to use wifi on an iPhone, so what's going on here (in case I didn't make it clear, I do have a SIM card in the phone, and this problem occurs whether it's in or not)? Do I need to activate my SIM card (and if so will it cost me anything)? Or is my iPhone just whack?
If I wasn't clear in my question, please ask for clarification in the comments.
Thanks!We now have two older phones that will not recognize one of our networks.
