Why can't I connect to wi fi on iPhone 5 at sons house.   Join icon won't light up

WWhy can't I join wifi at sons house.  Join icon doesn't light up to allow me to join

It's hard to tell exactly what might be wrong. Can you connect your MacBook Pro to other wireless networks in the city, like at Starbucks or McDonald's? If you can, you probably have it set up correctly, but if you can't, the problem might be in your network settings. If you are knowledgable about networks I would ask whether the MacBook Pro is getting a self-assigned IP address or not, since that would indicate a different problem than if it had a router-assigned IP address...

  • Why can't I connect my PC to my iPhone's Personal Hotspot?

    I cannot connect my PC to my iPhone's personal hotspot through Wifi and even through USB. When I try to connect through wifi using my USB wifi adapter it shows in the available networks. I try to connect, put the security key it just says its unable to connect. When I try to connect through USB it doesn't even show on the available networks, can anyone help me with this?

    There may be something in the following that will help: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2756

  • Why can't I connect to the ITunes Store?Also can't download any CD's.For 3 weeks now and no tech support to help on phone?what is up???

    Why can't I connect to the ITunes Store?Even through I troubleshooted with the info I was e-mailed,created new password,
    made sure date,keychain was correct etc and still cannot open store .I have MacOSX 10.4.11 and it does not let me download
    the latest version of iTunes.I need to speak to someone on the phone as it has been over 3 weeks now and this issue is still
    not resolved. also cannot download any CD's. After reinstalling disc 1 as told by 1 800 MY APPLE (as I was unable to cut and paste
    on my Mac)I ended up having to bring the computer in to the Apple Store on 5th Ave in Manhattan as it also required Disc 2 .
    Unfortunately I did not back up my music library and was not told it would be fully erased due to reinstallation. My 6 year music
    library got completely wiped out.iTunes had a history of my purchases but I received an e-mail stating about 35 songs and
    videos I purchased cannot be retroactive due to modification(I don't know what this means)I greatly appreciate if someone would
    help me clarify this issue.
    Thank you.
    Sincerely,
    Maria 

    Does it work at Starbucks and Public Library?
    Have you tried updating the router firmware?

  • Why can't I connect to internet on my ipad since updating to 8.3 even thought I am in sync with itunes?

    Why can't I connect to the internet on my ipad 2 since I updated to 8.3? ITunes indicated ipad is in sync and my wfi is working.

    On your iPad, go into Settings --> Wifi. Does your iPad indicate your device is on a wireless network?
    If so, can you verify your wireless network is correctly functioning?
    If not, connect your device to a wireless network. If the iPad refuses to connect to a wireless network. Go into Settings --> General --> Reset --> Reset All Network Settings. If done correctly than you will NOT loose any data while reseting your network settings. After the reset, go back into wifi settings and attempt to connect to a wireless network.

  • Why can't I connect to WiFi?

    Why can't I connect to WiFi when asked for a password, but I can connect to the same WiFi if no password is required?  When I type in the password, I get the following message, "There was an error joining the AirPort network "Verizon SCH-LC11 d8dd Secure".
    When using my PowerBook G3 Pismo, running 10.4.11, I have no problem connecting to any WiFi that does not require a password.
    But I get the same error message when a password is requested.  I have removed the password requirement from some of my WiFi options, and make the connections and internet functions correctly.

    Judging from what you wrote, because there is something wrong with the settings or the password or passphrase. Make sure all devices use the same type of encryption, and make sure you enter the correct password. WRT to this, read

    Bad idea.

  • Why can't i connect to the itunes store

    why can't i connect to the itunes store?

    Dear
    I have this question around 1 week before I make the decision to upgrade my Ipad2 to the new version iOS 5 , however, the problem is same , I can not connect to ITUNES store
    I had tried all of the method you have presented that posted at Internet but no result
    I decided to return to i studio to ask them the reason, but when I gave my IPad to the staff, he just put his wifi password, then the iPad can work as ussually , then he told me maybe my Internet problem, but I can connect to surb my web, I can do everything except to connect the iTunes.
    Then after I call to the wifi provider company, they ask me o set up all the proxy then now I can connect to iTunes store as normally.
    Hope will help you

  • Why can't I connect to my wifi on my IPAD at home, my laptop does. And yes I have a router and know the password.

    Look at iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections  http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
    Also try this - Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.

  • Why can't i connect to any of my bluetooth devices that i have already paired?

    Why can't I connect to any of my Bluetooth devices i have already paired with?

    You say "I am paired" but unless you are a Bluetooth device yourself, what device are you trying to send files from? A computer? A mobile phone? If the latter, which one?
    To send files Mac to Mac, Bluetooth Sharing needs to be enabled on both Macs in the Sharing system preferences pane.
    If you are trying to send files between a Mac and an iOS device via Bluetooth, then that won't work as iOS devices don't have that functionality.

  • Why can't I connect to Exchange Server 2003? I'm using OS Lion. My iphone connects, what am I doing wrong?

    Why can't I connect to Exchange Server 2003? I'm using OS Lion. My iphone connects, what am I doing wrong?

    the iPhone uses active sync. Desktop clients do not. Desktop clients use another exchange protocol (which i can't remember as i'm not a microsofty).
    Just because you can access via active sync doesn't mean you can access it by other methods, and vice versa.
