Why can I no longer connect to our home Wi-Fi?

I love my tablet, but with the problems I have been having, I am thinking that it is time to buy a lap top! It started with my having to reboot my tablet to connect to our home Wi-Fi. I was thinking that maybe ti was just slow Time Warner internet. I went to visit my daughter in NYC and had no issues with connecting to their Wi-Fi at all. I took Amtrak home from NYC and couldn't connect to the Wi-Fi on board the train. I came home and now I can not connect to our Wi-Fi at all. I tried rebooting my tablet and still no connection. Anyone else have problems with their Wi-Fi? What should I do? We have only had the tablet for almost 6 months!

We have two phones and the tablet connected to our home wifi, we have Time Warner. I don't think that is much. It is working better now. I thought that the train being overloaded might be the reason why I couldn't connect. I had asked the conductor if there was an issue with it and he checked and said no. He was connected, as were others around me. Most were using their smart phones. Since I had never had a problem connecting before, I didn't think I'd have an issue on this trip. BUT, there were a lot more people on board. My scheduled train was cancelled, so there were more passengers, and cars, than the usual on board! It was annoying because I had to reschedule, AND be without a wifi connection! I can only hope that the next time I take the train, that I can connect to their wifi.....and that my scheduled train won't be cancelled!!!!

Why can I no longer connect to my home WIFI

Hi All
This is my first post and I know from searching online for the last week or so for a solution that this has been a problem for others before. I have tried all of the proposed solutions I have found including, resetting the network settings, resetting all settings, turning the wifi on and off, manually enterring information used within another phone on the manual element of the wifi setup.
I still cannot connect my phone to my home WIFI despite it being conencted for over a year with no problems, and also having other iphones, laptops and Ipads that can connect.
The phone that wont connect can still pick up other WIFI networks and barely finds my home WIFI.
I would really appreciate some help with this as we rely on the WIFI due to not picking up great 3G in my area.
Thanks in advance.

I have had the same issue many times with Apple products (Mac, Macbook Pro, IPad) when I have been travelling (hotel, restaurant, coffee shop etc. wifi) or using an "off-site" wifi system. The solutions seems to be to unplug your router from the wall and wait about 10-seconds than plug the unit back in. Works everytime for me.

Why can I no longer connect to WiFi.... I have an iPhone 4S fully updated but recently my WiFi stopped working and I can't turn it back on...

Yes, I do have that problem too !!!
i did an update and it worked for 5 minutes...after that it went off again and the wifi button in settings doesn´t react

Why Can't we Get Broadband in our Home when all our neighbours have it!!!!

I contacted eircom on Wednesday last, 1 July in order to request broadband be installed in my home. I called at 17.42 and the call lasted 29.16 mins. I explained to your sales representative, Louise Doolan, that I had no telephone line in the home at the present time, but had had one approximately 10 years ago. I also explained to her that in April of last year I had contacted eircom about installing broadband in our home and that there had been an issue at the time involving the reconnection and supply of eFibre, but that the issue was ultimately resolved. Unfortunately, at that time, I mistakenly understood that we were out of contract with our current broadband provider when in fact this was not the case and we ultimately had to cancel our order during the cooling off period. Louise informed me that my old telephone number had been reissued to a new address and that a new line would have to be connected. She informed me that she would call me back within 24 hours as the line was showing that our address did not qualify for broadband. I did not hear from her again. On 3 July at 10.42 I telephoned 1901, as per Louise's instructions, and spoke with, I think, Mairead. She informed me that from what she could see, the line was still not live and said that she would re-request the line set up. I was on the telephone with her at that time for 14.55 mins. Mairead informed me that she was not in the office over the weekend, but that she would follow the call up for me on Monday and assured me that she would call me back. I have still not heard from Mairead. On Monday, 6 July @ 14.22 I telephoned customer care again to follow up on the order, a call which ultimately lasted 31.28 mins. I did not catch the name of the person I originally spoke with and he informed me that broadband was not available on my phone line and that that was it. I said that I was not satisfied with that answer and requested that he put me through to someone who could explain to me why broadband was not available at my home. He transferred me to a technical team and, if I correctly recall, I spoke with Adrian. Up until this time I had not been provided with a telephone number, account number or reference number. Adrian explained to me that he was a technical adviser to people with broadband already installed in their homes and was unable to help me. He suggested I borrow a telephone from a house, install it in my home, ring my mobile and that I would then know my telephone number. I was of the opinion that this was a far fetched way to get my telephone number and he ultimately transferred me to Harry in Accounts & Billing, Customer Care, Dublin. Harry explained that he and his colleagues could see no reason why broadband was not available on my telephone line and said he would transfer the matter to the escalations department and would expect to hear back from them within 24 hours. I asked would he ring me back within 24 hours and he said that he could not guarantee that, it may be within 48 hours. I have not heard back from Harry. On 7 July, 2015 @ 16.32 I telephoned customer care yet again. I spoke with Betty in the Dublin Office. I explained all of the above to Betty and she informed me that from what she could see on screen, there was no reply as yet from escalations and that she would re submit the escalation request. I told her that I would call back again. This telephone call lasted 5.29 mins. This morning at approximately 11 am (as I was in work and called from our landline due to a poor mobile signal in my office) I called 1901 again. I was put through to the Cork office and spoke with a young girl, whose name I cannot recall, but I think may have been Aoife. She said that she could not see any resolution on the file, but that as 48 hours had not yet passed from the first escalation request, perhaps I should call back later. I told her I would. I telephoned again at 18.48 this evening, a call which ultimately lasted 51.36 minutes. As luck would have it I was answered by Betty, with whom I had previously spoken, in the Customer Care, Dublin Office. I briefly outlined the above to Betty and asked her for an update on my order. She explained to me that she tried the line again and that it was still not showing up as being available for broadband and that I would be unable to avail of same. I asked Betty for a more satisfactory reason as to why exactly I could not get broadband. I explained to her that there is an eircom exchange outside my garden, that the house itself is only 12 years old, that the house was built at the same time as my neighbour’s houses, all of whom had their lines supplied at the same time and several of whom have eircom broadband without issue. My next door neighbour has eFibre broadband. Our houses were built and wired at the same time. It is beyond reason to me that his home can have broadband supplied and my home cannot. I do not live on the top of a mountain miles from civilisation. I do not live on a remote island. I live in a housing estate in Blessington, 25 miles from Dublin. As Betty could not provide me with a satisfactory answer, I requested that she transfer me to her manager, or Team Leader, as it is known. I was on hold for several minutes. Betty came back on the phone and explained to me that her team leader said that nothing could be done unfortunately. I once again explained to Betty that, given that I was told one year ago that broadband could be supplied to my home, I would very much like to know what supernatural event occurred in the meantime that rendered this now impossible. I explained to Betty that I understand that she could not explain the matter further and that, as I would like a more reasoned explanation than “we can’t provide you with broadband at the moment, sorry”, I would like to speak to someone further up the line and once again requested that she transfer me to her team leader. I was put on hold once again and, once again, Betty came back on the line and said that her team leader would not take the call as nothing could be gained from it and that nothing could be done at the time. As you can imagine, the fact that this comedy has been carried out over now 1 week with not just one, but six telephone calls not being returned by any of your representatives, I felt it was not an unreasonable request to speak to somebody further up the line. I explained to Betty that I appreciated her assistance and that I was not put out by her manner, but that I found her team leader’s refusal to accept my call extremely ill mannered and discourteous. I asked her for her team leader’s name and for her surname and informed her that I was making a formal complaint against her team leader. She advised me that she could not give out that information without her team leader’s consent and I requested that she advise him or her of same, request that the name be released and relay my disappointment and disgust at the manner in which I was being treated, the level of his/her discourteousness and ill manners. I also asked that she request her team leader take the call personally. Unbelievably, for a third time, her team leader refused to take my call, but deigned to bestow me with details of his name – Thomas Graham. I explained to Betty that I appreciated her help in the matter, that I found Thomas Graham’s manner despicable, that I felt he was treating her in a poor manner by having her scurrying around relaying messages between him and I, that it gave an overall very poor impression, that I was under no illusion, but that I was being fobbed off, especially as I have fobbed many people off in various roles over the years and that I was very disappointed by the manner in which I was treated. For the hell of it, I requested Betty one more time to request that Thomas Graham take my call as a matter of courtesy and once again he refused, A FOURTH TIME. I explained to Betty that I was not happy with the reason or lack of reasons given to me as to why broadband could not be supplied to my home. I explained to her that, until I saw an individual outside my home, carrying out an inspection and attempting to rectify the problem, I did not see that anything was being done to resolve the issue. I explained to her that I wanted to speak with a technician or engineer who could give me a valid reason as to why broadband cannot be installed in my home. She suggested that she transfer me to the technical department. I was transferred to the technical department and spoke with Adi who did his best to be helpful, but advised that his role was to assist people with broadband already installed in their homes. He explained to me that he could not see any reason from the system why broadband could not be installed in my home. He suggested that he transfer me to the sales department who might be able to assist me. Given that I had spoken with the sales department several times and that this was where this entire sorry saga began, I explained to him that I had no desire to speak with them as they were sales people and I wanted to speak with someone with engineering/technical information. I was put on hold for a time and Adi came back to me and said that he had spoken with a colleague who suggested that there may not be enough space on the exchange I was on and I that I should write to the Planning Department near Heuston Station to request that a slot be installed for my home. He informed me that he could see from the system that at 18.59 he could see that a request for broadband connection was made. As you can no doubt see from the above, the situation is farcical. I have contacted several other broadband providers, however, all of these use eircom lines and, as such, eircom “has me over a barrel”. This is, in my opinion, an absolutely ridiculous situation. It is July in the year 2015, not 1915. I live in a relatively modern house in an area where broadband is readily available. It is just not acceptable to say “sorry, we are unable to provide broadband at this time” without any investigation outside pressing a few buttons on a screen in an office in Dublin. To add insult to injury, to treat a potential new customer so poorly is, aside from anything else, bad business. My husband and I also have mobile telephone accounts which we had intended to transfer to eircom. In addition, my two children will also shortly be getting mobile telephones and we were thus likely to bring four mobile phone accounts in addition to our broadband and, possibly, evision accounts. The fact that eircom is a national provider whose lines your competitors use and that this is the best you can come up with is very disappointing. In the circumstances above, I wish to receive a satisfactory explanation of events to date, an indication of how eircom intend to resolve this farcical situation and an explanation as to why Thomas Graham was allowed to treat a potential new customer and a member of staff on his team so poorly. It created a very poor impression of your company and I genuinely felt sorry for Betty. I should state at this time that I have no issue whatsoever with Betty’s handling of what was a very difficult phonecall. She was very courteous to me at all times and, to be quite frank, put Thomas Graham to shame. Perhaps he should offer her an apology for his behaviour too. You should also note that I am forwarding a copy of this to the ComReg and I intend to contact my local TD if this matter is not resolved in the short term. I work from home two days a week and broadband is imperative to my livelihood. I look forward to hearing from you by return. Louise Simpson

Thanks, I think I got the cabinet number from that link before, can get only:
WBC ADSL 2+ Up to 6
ADSL Max Up to 1.5
I used to get 3.5 on ADSL 2+ but a fault on the line which would drop broadband when phone rang, they fixed it by putting me back on ADSL with 1.5
Why can't they have a future estimated date? Virgin cable is just around the corner can't get that either. My 3G on iPhone is faster!

Why can I no longer connect to WD White Light 2TB Harddrive?

Hi,
Up until about 4 days ago, I was able to connect to my external WD Harddrive perfectly fine. It is wireless but I had it connected physically via Ethernet cable to my iMac and used the Connect to Server function every time I turned on my computer perfectly fine.
For some reason it no longer automatically mounts the drive when I do this. I have to enter the user name and password, which I do (and I know they're 100% correct) it seems to accept the username and password however Finder still shows "Connecting" with the option for "Connect As" still active depite the fact I've logged in as the harddrive's admin.
I have tried connecting it to our Wi-fi and connecting to the drive through my new Macbook Pro and it has exactly the same results. Whenever I purposly enter incorrect details the login box shakes showing that username or password is incorrect so I know it does log in. The automatic choice to mount the folders "Public", "Downloads" etc. does not appear.
Any ideas on how I can connect to it, I have a LOT of files on there and the thought of losing them all is just horrifying.
Sorry if this is in the wrong thread but as the issue first arose on my Intel iMac it was the best I can choose.

Yes, I do have that problem too !!!
i did an update and it worked for 5 minutes...after that it went off again and the wifi button in settings doesn´t react

Why can I no longer connect to iTunes store? Error 301..

Suddenly I cannot connect to iTunes. No idea why, apparantly it's error '301'. No firewall changes were made and iTunes is still permitted..

Hello Josh,
I was researching what may be causing you to not be able to access the iTunes store, and found a couple of articles that may help you out. The first is an article named Can't connect to the iTunes Store found here http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1368. There are steps to try depending on the Operating System you are running.
Also there is a more Advanced troubleshooting article called iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting found here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3297 that may also help.
And if you havent already, a great troubleshooting set of steps would be to restart the computer, router and/or modem then retest.
All the best,
Sterling

Why can I no longer connect to my Xfinity WiFi at home?

I am having trouble connecting to my WiFi at home. My laptop can connect and my phone shows full strength and says that it's connected, but the little arrows that appear seem to show that my phone isn't receiving the signal. I am able to automatically connect to any other WiFi locations I go to.
I have an Xfinity modem/router. I am unsure if this is a problem on their end or my end. This goes beyond just unplugging and resetting everything. I recently disconnected the modem/router because Xfinity said there was a new Blast speed update. Around this time is when my issues began.
Can anyone help?
Thanks.

One possibility is that you may have entered your encryption key/authentication code incorrectly, and its continuing to try to access, but being blocked because the code is wrong. Tell it to forget your network, and try connecting/logging into it from scratch again.
What model phone do you have?

Why can I no longer connect a conference call?

It is similar to call waiting. The calls are swapped rather than connected.

Why can I no longer filter libraries in home share?

When I selected the shared library I used to be able to choose at the bottom all the library or only the songs/videos that were not in my current library. I no longer seem to have this option. ITunes help says that at the bottom of the shared library window I can change settings. I no longer seem to have settings either. I need to copy music between my home share itunes. Any thoughts on how I can do this?

TS1398 I can no longer connect to my home wireless on my ipad2, have done all the suggested fixes, still cannot connect. Daughter cannot connect her iPod, but husbands laptop is connected to wireless.

All of a sudden my ipad will not connect to our home wireless. I have reset the wireless settings, turned my ipad off and back on, turned off wireless and back on, basically have done all of the fixes suggested and still I cannot connect. My daughter cannot connect her iPod either, but my husbands laptop can and is connected to our wireless. The wireless is working and until two days ago I had no problems connecting.

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

Why can I no longer import EDITED photo from my iPad to my Mac using Image Capture from Snapseed app?

Why can I no longer import EDITED photo from my iPad to my Mac using Image Capture? This is farcical and a real problem having to email them individually to myself and is totally inefficient time wise compared to previously using image capture! Why change this when it was working well and very quickly until the latest change. Now I have to move files from downloads into an appropriate folder, after emailing each individual edited image to myself, then I have to open in Photoshop and rename the file. This is ludicrous and takes forever to do!

Thank you! I suppected it would be in the settings somewhere. I' ve much to learn...get myself into trouble pushing buttons I don't really understand.

It is a good idea to include the machine type and OS version in your problem posts.

Why can I no longer open or save files using office for mac?

Go to the Apple Menu (top left) click the Apple Menu and select "About This Mac"
That will result in this window:

Then I will need to know which version of Office (Word) which you will see on the splash screen when you start it.
