Why is my iphone 4 all of the sudden not connecting to wifi?

My husband and I both have an iphone 4 and as of yesterday both phones have randomly stopped connecting to any wireless network. The networks show up, I have passwords in the phone for them, but the circle next to them just spins and spins. Occasionally it connects for a few seconds, then it disconnects. We've done nothing to change the router. I've tried "reset network settings", I've reset the router and tried turning the phone on and off. Nothing has worked! We have not upgraded to ios 7.0.3 because we heard that it doesn't perform well with the iphone 4. Is that the problem? Both phones worked just fine until yesterday. I would appreciate any advice

Sounds too coincidental to have both phones go bad at once on the same day.
It could still be your router, even if you have reset it.
Have you tried connecting to another WIFI network, like a public WIFI or neighbor's?

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

I had to get my phone replaced, I did back it up. However when I went to sync my itunes to my phone, now ALL my music is all of the sudden not able to be found. As you can imagine I'm quite ******. Anyone know anything of this?

I also updated my itunes a couple days ago when i backed up my phone - could it have been that?

music is apart of a back up. however if you did not transferyour purchases before doing the back up you will have to re download them. to do so sign into itunes, on the right hand side under quick links you will see purchased. click on it and go to the music tab. all of your music will be there you will see a cloud next to them with an arrow pointing down that is where you download them there may also be an option to download all. you can do the same for any apps that you may have purchased also. after they have downloaded plug your device in and sync them back to the device. hope this helps

IPhone 4s keeps freezing and not connecting to wifi. Keeps turning it off?

IPhone 4s keeps freezing and not connecting to wifi. Been like this for last 6 months.. Am real fed up with it.. Have reset, tried turning off but still not connecting.. Any suggestions gratefully received.

Does "have reset" mean that you restored the phone to factory settings? If not, you might want to give that a try. You will want to backup first so that you can restore your data from the backup after you restore the iOS software.
This will erase the phone and also download and install the most recent iOS version available for your device.
Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings

Why did my account all of the sudden change to free instead of premium?

My spotify stopped working all of the sudden. I was a premium member and yesterday, the app kicked me out of my music and said that I had the free account so now I can only listen to shuffle. I'm quite confused about this especially since I've been paying for spotify all this time. I uninstalled the app and tried to reinstall it, but now that won't even work. Please help?!

Go to support here https://support.spotify.com/us/contact-spotify-support/ , it's faster there and it's real support! Hope this helps :)

Why does my phone all of the sudden keep saying "searching"?

I have a new 4s. Got it on Oct 14th and have had zero problems. Well all of the sudden it constantly says "searching" and will then say AT&T then freeze for a second then go back to "searching." I have an AT&T MicroCell which has given me no problems. I disconnected that and the same thing happens, so I know its no my MicroCell. I reset the network settings to no avail. I'm gonna see if this goes away by tomorrow morning, if not then I'm gonna restore the phone via iTunes. Anyone experience this? I doubt my phone is defective. Could this be an iOS 5 bug?

Refere to a previous discussion:

Turning your Sim Pin off may help, although this step + a Back Up/Restore may be required.

All of the sudden can't join wifi networks

All of the sudden this morning I can't join any wifi networks, it always gives me the "Unable to Join the network "network name" error message.
I tried a soft reset, then did a complete Iphone restore with no luck.
Any ideas?
thanks,
Jeff

Hi again,
Mine's fixed. Here's what I did:
- In Mail go to Preferences > Accounts > Advanced Behaviors
- At the bottom of those options, under "Trash" uncheck the box for "Move deleted messages to the trash mailbox" (I have multiple accounts and did this for each one, whether it was an active account or not.)
- Close Preferences and check mail. Delete a few items you couldn't delete before.
- Under the Trash mailbox icon on the left, I deleted the Trash mailbox called "On My Mac" because it was the one generating the error.
- Go back to preferences and re-check that box you just unchecked for "Move deleted messages"
Fixed. I'm sure all these steps weren't necessary, but wanted to share it just as I did it. Hope this helps.

My ipad suddenly cannot connect to wifi internet,you can see the icon that its connected but most of the apps are not opening with message not connected to internet...
Please your suggestions / help are very much appreciated
Thanks

Try This...
Close All Open Apps... Sign Out of your Account... Perform a Reset... Try again...
Reset ( No Data will be Lost )
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
Release the Buttons...
If no joy...
Reset all settings
Settings > General > Reset > Reset all Settings.
This will return all iDevice settings to factory defaults... you will not lose any data.... But you will have to re-enter all of the device settings.

What would cause iPad to suddenly not connect to wifi

all of a sudden both iPad and ipad2 will not connect to wifi. have matched everything up and also reset modem

There have been many reports here of the wifi failing on ipad2's that are running ios8. It has been speculated that ios8 is the culprit but I've not heard anything definitive. Since both of your devices have failed I would check the router first by going somewhere that has free internet or friend or family that has one. Staples and stores like it generally has free internet access if you have something of the sort around your area. It will help to point you in the right direction in telling you if it''s the router or your phones if you don't have luck with basic trouble shooting. Good luck.

Why does my iphone all of a sudden decide to be selective on who it receives messages from

Whys does my iphone receive messges from some numbers and not others? It just started this and some of ones not receioving from I have in the past

have you tried resetting your phone by holding the sleep/wake button and the home button at the same time until the apple logo appears? also, how do you know it's your phone that is the problem?

Why does my iPhone ring with the 'do not disturb' button on?

       When I put the 'do not disturb' button to 'on' today, and my husband called me, the phone rang.
       Does it let 'favorites' through?
       Or is this function just not working?
       Thanks,
       Snark

       Thank you, Stedman!!
      I hope ya'll don't mind these dumb-*** questions; I really appreciate the help.
      I was browsing discussions around in here the other day, and saw that *some* replies were in the line of, 'read your manual you idiot,' but a whole lot nastier.
      If anyone gives me a reply like that, I will surely cry and melt down into a lump of humiliated goo.
       So if I'm being too ignorant here, please tell me? I spend all my time in school online right now, really don't have time to investigate other things...
       I don't want to be a pest!!
      Thanks
             Snark

Not receiving texts from iPhone contacts when I'm not connected to wifi or cell data. I can't send and receive regular SMS texts with non iMessage users but iMessage users message are not being converted to text when I don't have internet connect

I can send and receive to any non iPhone user. I can send a message as a text to an iPhone user but if I'm not connected to cellular data or wifi I do not receive messages from iPhone contacts. From what I understand these message should automatically send to me as texts instead of iMessages but since the update it's not functioning properly. Please help. I've tried turning iMessage off and I still don't receive the messages until after I reconnect to wifi.

I have the same problem! Before the upgrade, if I wasn't connected to the internet, any messages sent to me from an iphone would convert automatically to a text message. I have payg tarriff, so I turn cell data off, as it costs too much to use it. I have wifi at home and work, but if I'm out and about, I don't receive texts from iphone users until I'm on wifi. I get them ok from non iphone users. There was never any problem until ios7

My computer won't sync with my iPhone all of the sudden.. iPhoto and iTunes, My computer won't sync with my iPhone all of the sudden.. iPhoto and iTunes

i try to unplug and re plug and my iphoto says theres no pics to upload and calls it "apple iphone" when my iphone has a name and itunes says"the iphone'___my name____'s iphone' could not sync because the sync session failed to start."
it just started doing this today.. i dont want to restore my phone because i will lose my pictures..

Sometimes resetting the phone and rebooting your computer will fix this. Reset your phone: hold the on/off and home buttons until you see the Apple logo (ignore the off slider that appears first), then release. You will not lose any data doing this. Now reboot your computer and try syncing again.
