WHY DOESNT MY WIFI WORK?

When I am at school, I get the schols wifi and when I'm walking home I get the wifi of the neighborhood. As I get closer to my house my wifi pops up but the moment I set itno the house all five of our wifi's are gone and wont come back. So basically I get wifi everywhere but my house. It's just my iphone 4 too! My Mothers ipod and latop, my brothers Iphone and laptop and MY OWN laptop is connected to the wifi. It always worked until now! Also my phone as recently suffered from water damage a few weeks back but the wifi still worked after that, it's just been recently! Sorry for all the typing but Im hoping someone could helo me please!!!!

Hello dlanibarnhill,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
So it sounds like suddenly your wifi at home is not being seen by just this 1 device.
I found this article about troubleshooting wifi connectivity on an ios device.
iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and turn Wi-Fi off and then on again.If unable to do so, see this article.
Confirm that your Wi-Fi router and Cable or DSL modem are connected to power, turned on, and indicate that they are connected to the Internet.If not, refer to your network administrator or ISP for assistance.
Restart your iOS device.
Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and locate the Wi-Fi network to which you are connected. Then tap and Forget this Network. Try to connect to your desired Wi-Fi network again.
Note: You will need to enter your Wi-Fi password again if your desired network requires one.
Turn your Wi-Fi router off and then on again2. If your ISP also provides cable or phone service, check with them before attempting this step to avoid interruption of service.
Update your device to the latest version of software.
Update your Wi-Fi router to the latest firmware2.For AirPort Base Stations, see this article for information about firmware updates.
If needed, I would do this troubleshooting next:
Unable to locate a Wi-Fi network
Check to see if the network is available by tapping Settings > Wi-Fi and choosing from the available networks listed there.
Note: It may take a few seconds for the Wi-Fi network name to appear.
Move closer to your wireless router ( access point) and attempt to locate the Wi-Fi network again.
If you do not see the network you would like to join, you may be attempting to connect to a hidden network. Learn how to join a hidden network.
Supported Wi-Fi configurations vary by iOS device model. Find out which standards your device supports3.
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.
Cheers,
Sterling

HT4972 why doesnt my wifi work anymore now that i downloaded the new update?

after updating my phone to the new ios 6 the wifi doesnt work any more? any ideas on how to fix it?

Is a Norton update available yet?
If not, here's the process to roll back:
First, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
Next, download and save Firefox 3.6 to your desktop for future installation. http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all-older
Close Firefox 4.
You could install Firefox 3.6 over it (many have reported success) or you could uninstall Firefox first. If you uninstall, do not remove your personal data and settings, just the program.
Unless you have installed an incompatible add-on, Firefox 3.6 should pick up where you left off. If there are serious issues, please post back with details.
Note: I haven't actually tried this myself!

Why doesnt the Blackberry work?

100's if not 1000's of people are having problems with there Black Berry phones.
Youll find search results such as Nuked berry, brick berry or dumb phone.
Blackberry technical support, had difficulty in handling an enquiry attempting to pass of the enquiry/complaint to the carrier who are not responsible for the incompetance of Blackberry, who call there faulty devices mobile/cell phones.
There simply not up to the standard of the rest of the world.
Why doesnt my phone work?
BB(Blackberry)'s Desktop Software, is not help, being unable to connect with my device, even though it detects it & erases files, & attempts to connect with the device, even though my computer immediately detects my device as soon as I plug it into the USB port.

So thousands of problems, out of millions of users, dooms the entire brand? Seems like of bit of a stretch to me. Also irrelevant...only your specific issues matter, not the rest of the world.

Your report is a little difficult to clearly understand...hence difficult to provide you with useful guidance. So, the simplest thing I can recommend is to, on a PC (you cannot do this on MAC):
1) Make sure you have a current and complete backup of your BB...you can find complete instructions via the link in my auto-sig below.
2) Uninstall, from your PC, any BB OS packages
3) Make sure you have the BB Desktop Software already installed
http://us.blackberry.com/software/desktop.html
4) Download and install, to your PC, the BB OS package you desire:
http://us.blackberry.com/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp
It is sorted first by carrier -- so if all you want are the OS levels your carrier supports, your search will be quick. However, some carriers are much slower than others to release updates. To truly seek out the most up-to-date OS package for your BB, you must dig through and find all carriers that support your specific model BB, and then compare the OS levels that they support.
5) Delete, on your PC, all copies of VENDOR.XML...there will be at least one, and perhaps 2, and they will be located in or similarly to (it changes based on your Windows version) these folders:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Research In Motion\AppLoader
C:\Users\(your Windows UserName)\AppData\Roaming\Research In Motion\BlackBerry\Loader XML
6a) For changing your installed BB OS level (upgrade or downgrade), you can launch the Desktop Software and connect your BB...the software should offer you the OS package you installed to your PC.
6b) Or, for reloading your currently installed BB OS level as well as for changing it, bypass the Desktop Software and use LOADER.EXE directly, by proceeding to step 2 in this process:
http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-Device-Software/How-To-Reload-Your-Operating-Syste...
Note that while written for "reload" and the Storm, it can be used to upgrade, downgrade, or reload any BB device model -- it all depends on the OS package you download and install to your PC.
If, during the processes of 6a or 6b, your BB presents a "507" error, simply unplug the USB cord from the BB and re-insert it...don't do anything else...this should allow the install to continue.
You may also want to investigate the use of BBSAK (bbsak.org) to perform the wipe it is capable of.
You may also want to try the "Bare Bones OS Reload Procedure" to attempt to narrow down the precise causal item:
Load your OS "bare bones"...if anything is optional, do not install it.
If the behavior presents immediately, then try a different OS with step 1
If the behavior does not immediately present, then run for as long as it takes for you to be sure that the behavior will not present.
Add one thing -- no matter how tempting, just one.
If the behavior does not present immediately, then again run for long enough to be sure it will not have the same problem
Repeat steps 4 and 5 until all things are loaded or the behavior presents
When the behavior presents, you know the culprit...the last thing you loaded.
If the behavior does not re-present, then you know that either step 1 or 2 cured it.
If the behavior presents no matter what, then you likely have a hardware level issue for which no amount of OS or software can cure.
You may also need the use of these tricks:
KB10144 How to force the detection of the BlackBerry smartphone using Application Loader
KB27956 How to recover a BlackBerry smartphone from any state
http://crackberry.com/blackberry-101-lecture-12-how-reload-operating-system-nuked-blackberry
If you are on MAC, you are limited to only your carriers sanctioned OS packages...but can still use any levels that they currently sanction. See this procedure:
KB19915How to perform a clean reload of BlackBerry smartphone application software using BlackBerry Desktop Software
Good luck and let us know!

Why doesnt jsp:include work?

Hello all
I am trying to include a header file in my jsp page, and then include a servlet on another server. Question is, is this possible? In my code below, the header file is shown but the results of the servlet, which resides on a different server, are not. Any idea why the second line doesnt work?
Thanks in advance for any help.
<%@ include file="header.jsp" %>
<jsp:include page="http://differentserver:1080/servlet/Docu?dir=AdminProc" flush="true" />

Thanks for the clarification. I am actually trying to convert some PHP to JSP, and idea what the equivalent of
<?php
include("header.php");
include("http://differentserver:1080/servlet/DocuServ?dir=Procedures");
?>
is in JSP?

Why dosent my wifi work after the update from 5.1.1 to 6!!??

Hey me and my brother updatet our iphones yesterday from 5.1.1 to iOs6 and now the wifi suddently dosent work!!? why?!

See:
iOS: Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim
One user reported that placing the iPod in the freezer fixed the problem. A trick that works frequently with iPhones:
Settings > AirPlane Mode ON, Do Not Disturb ON
Power down and wait 5-10 minutes
Power up
Settings > AirPlane Mode OFF, Do Not Disturb OFF
If not successful, an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is usually in order.

Additional things to try.
Try this first. 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.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
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
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

Why doesnt the webcam work on my DV6 I have downloaded the driver again but still no good

Still no answers about why it doesnt work it seems crazy that this isnt simply solved, it doesnt leave a good impression of HP. Oh and the USB ports stiill dont work despite troubleshooting, reloading and downloading drivers. Not a good impression at all

You can try removing the app and reinstalling; that sometimes cures the problem. If not, then contact the developer as diesel suggested.

Why doesnt my printer work since I installed firefox?

iPhone5, ios 6.0.2, AT&T carrier.
I can't get my WiFi to work properly to save my life. December overages on my bill due to having to turn WiFi off at home and at work (where it worked fine before) because it's either ridiculously slow or won't load at all. My Pandora skips and stops incessantly at work, and at home, it just sits there with a spinning icon until I turn off WiFi and then the 4G/LTE loads instantly. I don't usually get online and throw a fit, but this ios update has actually cost me money. I really hope Apple fixes this quickly.
My battery drains much faster than it ought to as well.
Additionally, the music player on my phone will now occasionally, at random, just close on me. Middle of a song, everything's fine, and then BOOM. Done. Have to open it back up and hit play again.
I have restarted the phone several times since the ios update and nothing helps.
I sincerely hope Apple fixes these issues quickly. My phone has gone from being awesome to making me a bit angry. I paid an arm and a leg for this thing, it ought to work!!!!!!

Why doesnt my keyboard work anymore like i cant click it?

why doesn't my keyboard work anymore, I am not able to use the keyboard on certain parts of it, the whole top row of letters or anything wont work

I'm thinking that, it has gone bad.
If it is less than a year old and not abused, then it should be covered under Apple's one year warranty.
If it came with your iMac and you have Apple Care, then it should be covered for three years like your iMac.
To check your coverage, go to > https://selfsolve.apple.com/agreementWarrantyDynamic.do
Optionally any inexpensive generic USB keyboard will work, if you are not impressed with using or replacing yours with another expensive Apple one.

Why doesnt My time work

Why is the wifi working on my mac but not on my other devices?

The mac i have is connected to the wifi and is working just fine, but my other 5 devices are not working with the wifi network that i have with the AirPort and my TimeCapsule. they were working fine the other day and just stared to act up... i already reset the time machine but that didnt fix anything.

Describe the whole network.. how are the airport and tc linked. What mode are they running in?
I would reset the wireless to conform to SMB rules.. which are much more compatible with modern Apple equipment for some reason.. to say nothing of the rest of the world.
Make all names short, no spaces.. pure alphanumeric.. absolutely no apostrophe.. that apple corruption.
Fix and lock the wireless channels. I would set different name for 5ghz to keep everything honest. Stop voodoo auto settings.
Use WPA2 Personal security only.
(SMB name should extend to TC itself ie its network name and the hard disk.. apple used a mixture of names but it should have no spaces.. short.. TC Disk is wrong.. TCDisk is fine. Apple often use spaces where they shouldn't).

What exactly doesn't work for you? The KeyListener appears to work great on my machine. I suspect you mean that the loop doesn't work. That's because the loop runs very quickly, then exits. I would recommend having the Slate.anim(...) call directly in your KeyListener instead of in a loop.

Why doesnt my camera work?

my iphone's camera does not work. the one facing me does though. the screen is completely black and stays like that.how can i fix it?

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.
