Why did my iPhone suddenly stop connecting to my home wi-fi network?

I have had the phone for about a week.  It connected to my home wi-fi network perfectly.  Yesterday, I suddenly lost connection and when I went to rejoin the network, it took me several tries and various methods recommended by other forums before it would finally connect.  Today the same thing happened, after working perfectly fine for the first part of the day.  Except now, I can't get it to rejoin at all.  Just wondering if anyone has ideas as to what the problem might be, before I contact technical support. 

By the way, I didn't have any software updates, nor did I change any settings prior to this happening.

    why has my iphone has stopped connecting with itunes?

    You can try resetting your iPad and iPhone by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears.
    Try again to see if the problem persists.

  • My iPad suddenly stopped connecting to my home network. It shows the network to. Choose from but there is no IP address or other information on the network page. It is set on DHCP and proxy is set at auto. Do I have another setting wrong?

    My iPad suddenly stopped working with my home network.  It shows the network to choose from but will not connect. When I look at details in that network it does not show IP address or any other info for the network.  Setting is on DHCP and http proxy is set on auto. Network is active and can connect on wife's iPad and other home computers.  Do I have another setting wrong?

    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)

  • Why did my iMessage suddenly stopped working?

    My iMessage was working fine and it suddenly stopped a couple weeks ago. I am still able to send messages to people, but I am unable to recieve messages from iphone users (I can text freely with androids). I noticed that at first my imessage will send as a blue, but after a couple seconds it turns green. I tried turning off my imessage, and turning it baclk on to which I was prompted to relogin to my apple account. When I tried to login it would keep saying that I had the wrong password (which I am very sure was not the case). My apple store still works, but I am unsure why my imessage doesnt. Does anyone know a solution for this?
    **I am currently operating on ios 7.0.4 could this be the case?

    If it is displaying "incorrect password" when signing into iMessage, why exactly do you believe the is incorrect?
    Enter the correct login credentials.  Until this occurs, iMessage will not re-activate.

  • Why has my iPhone suddenly stopped working?

    I was in the middle of reading a text this morning when my iPhone suddenly turned off. Now, the screen is black and my computer won't even recognize it when it's plugged in. The battery should not be dead because it was charged over night and it does not turn on even after being plugged in for awhile. I didn't drop it or spill anything on it before it broke, the screen just suddenly went black. Has this happened to anyone else. Any suggestions on what to do?? Also, I haven't updated my iPhone  to iOS 5 yet if that's relevant.

    Contact 3 asap you may have been frozen because of inadvertant excessive
    data use or more.
    All you can eat does NOT apply overseas
    AND if you did not enable roaming they will certainly believe your iPhone has been stolen
    and taken out of the country

  • HT4623 why would my iphone suddenly stop doing eprint jobs with my airprint friendly printer?

    Hi
    Yesterday my iphone 3 stopped recognizing my airprint friendly computer and will not let me print directly from my iphone anymore. Any suggestions on what I need to do?
    Thanks

    I have the OJ 8600Pro+, which is Air Print friendly, but if I'm not printing over my wireless network (through the router) I have to have Wirelss Direct turned on in the printer Settings. Then, it still takes six or seven tries before my iphone 5 (with IOS 7) detects the printer. With IOS 6, detection was always immediate. Once the printer is detected, the iphone remembers it until it goes to sleep. Then I have to start all over again. Maybe this is your problem.

  • Why did my iphone suddenly die?

    I bought this iphone two weeks ago and now it suddenly died. It will turn on by pressing the power button and when it is connect to the charger. No beeping sound is signed that it is connected. It seems to be completely dead. Is there anyway of reviving this? Stressed.
    mlfzz

    Without full diagnostic testing no one can say why it behaved that way.  Could have been the battery overheated, misbehaving software, a number of reasons.
    Worth trying if it happens is to plug the iPhone into the wall charger, then do a reboot by holding both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears, release the buttons and let it proceed through its startup routine.

  • Why did form fields suddenly stop functioning or calculating!!!

    All the forms I have created stopped working from one day to the next. The numbers I enter in a field that have to change to dates, dollar amounts, and/or totals, won't do anything. I have used these forms for over a year without a problem, until now. Why is it doing this? We use these on a daily basis and need these calculations. We have to enter calculations in manually which defeat the purpose of this feature. Please help.

    Answers:
    1. Form was created in Acrobat 9  Standard.
    2. We repeatedly open this form and save as something different. Other  forms, we open often as well and just save (to replace).
    3. I have attached one of the forms. The odd  thing is that its the same case with ALL of our forms without  exception.
    4. Usage rights should not be restricted
    5. We are using Acrobat 9 Standard

  • Why did Google images suddenly stop loading in Firefox 17?

    Suddenly 3 aspects of Google stopped working in Firefox from my home computer:
    1) autocomplete predictions
    2) images
    3) maps
    All these features work in IE, just not Firefox.
    I have been searching the Internet for a solution, because I was sure it couldn't be "just me." But among all the solutions I've found in various places, none have restored these functions.
    I have updated Java and Flash. I have checked security levels. I have tried a new Firefox profile. I have verified that the Enable button next to "Run ActiveX controls and plug-in" is selected, AND that the Enable button next to "Binary and script behaviors" is selected, AND that the Enable button under "Active scripting" is selected.
    I've tried other solutions as well, but I don't even remember them all (I know, I should have written them down).

    *sigh* Sometimes the simplest...STUPIDEST...solutions fix the problem.
    OK, I had read while I was searching for suggestions, that someone had discovered that their computer time was set wrong and this interfered with the java certificate, thus disallowing access to Google maps and Google images thumbnails. I immediately looked at my computer time and saw it was showing the correct time in the XP task bar.
    What I didn't see, because I didn't check further, was that it was showing the wrong MONTH. I had used the calendar to look for a date in 2013 and apparently had selected November when I reset it. Once I corrected to December AND synced the Internet time as well, everything went back to normal (of course, duh).
    Thank you for your help here. I hope the next person looking for a solution has the sense to check the ENTIRE setting for time and date.

  • My Apple TV suddenly stopped connecting to the server and the network.  All devices in my house work just fine. Habe tried unpluggin, reset all settings, and disconnecting wireless and reconnecting, nothing works.  Please help very frustrating

    Tried all troubleshooting; unplugged, reset all settings, disconnected and reconnected wireless
    The device woked fine for over a month until today
    All other devices in my home are working just fine
    very frustrating
    please help

    But my current sim card works just fine in my friends iphone 5...wouldnt the logic follow that the problem is with the device itself (the phone) and not the card?

  • Iphone 4s wifi suddenly stopped connecting to home network

    My iphone 4s suddenly stopped connecting to my home wifi 2 weeks ago, now it won't even bring it up on the list of available networks. I have tried resetting network settings, have tried manually connecting but it says "unable to locate network". Why would this all of a sudden start doing this when I have had this phone for over a year. My husbands iphone 4 has no problems whatsoever and connects to our home network just fine so I know it is not the router. This is so frustrating

    I'm currently suffering from this problem as well. If you or your husband can get your iPhone open, there may be a screw in the upper antenna area of the iPhone that is loose (this screw grounds the antenna to the chip/mainboard).
    http://www.iphoneshopusa.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/top-shield-iphone4- wifi-problem1.png
    It's pointed out in the image above. Many have tightened the screw and said their Wi-Fi optimally again. Having a phone for a year does mean a lot of wear-and-tear: dropping, vibration, heat, all accumulate so that the delicate components inside get knocked around and, in this case, loose. Try this method! (If you can, of course.)
    Good luck!

  • HT1976 iPhone 5 has suddenly stopped connecting to the internet away from home

    My iPhone 5 has suddenly stopped connecting to the internet when away from home. It was fine last Wednesday, then on Thursday all I got was 'Safari is no longer connected to the internet'. I cannot use the Messaging, Find my Friends etc.
    As far as I know I have not done anything to alter any settings, but I did change my password on Wednesday - which works, so I think that's OK.
    Has anyone any idea what is happening?
