Why isn't my device able to connect to a WiFi network?

Hi guys,
I have noticed that there is a WiFi network which is free, nearby my house. It's called "Belkin54g" but when I try to connect to it, a message comes up saying: "Unable to connect to the network "Belkin54g"" When I scan for the netwrok, it has 1/3 bars on my iPod touch but on my PC, it can connect to the network.
I am just wondering what is happening, but if it isn't solved, that doesn't matter because I've got WiFi at home.
Thank you for your support

Thanks, that seems to be the problem.

I am able to connect to my wifi network but am not able to connect to other computers on my network

I am able to connect to my wifi network but am not able to connect to other computers on my network. I have installed windows 7 on parallels desktop, from windows i am able to access my network computers. But from Mac i can only access internet but not network computers Please help

Ok, well if you're sure that there are shared folders on your PC's, then try this:
Click somewhere on desktop, so you're in finder > Go > Connect to Server (shortcut to all of this is Command + K) then type in: smb://ipaddresshere
eg:
smb://192.168.1.7
Then either connect as guest, or login with the PC's (not your mac's) username & password.

Is it possible to control a Mac directly from an iOS device without being connected to a WiFi network, i.e. an airport or similar.

I would like to control my MacMini (Late 2012) 2.3GHz Intel Quad Core i7 processor directly from my iOS device, either my iPhone 6 or my iPad G3. By directly I mean without having a wireless or wired network in place.
I know there are a number of iOS apps that utilize VNC technology but I believe they all require the Mac to be connected via WiFi to an Airport or similar wireless networking device. I would like to control my MacMini remotely without having it already connected to a WiFi network and wondered is it possible? The iOS device and Mac would be in close proximity to one another.
Has anyone had any experience with this? Thanks.

Guys, thanks but I did not mean to control it by infrared. I know only too well that iOS devices do not have that capability. However they and the Mac both can send and receive WiFi signals so is there any reason they can't talk to each other directly.
When I am in my home I have an airport but I would like to take the Mac Mini out on music gigs with my Apollo interface which serves as my mic preamp and mixer as it does in my studio but the Apollo needs to be connected to the mac via thunderbolt to download the plugin software that provides reverb and eq, etc. I would like to do this without the need of a monitor and keyboard, hence my dilemma. The only thing I basically need to do is start the mini and the rest happens automatically but I need to also shut down (which I know can be accomplished a couple of ways) but with out having a visual interface you can't make any changes or verify what setting are being used.

My iPhone 3G is not able to connect to any wifi network

my iPhone 3G is not able to connect to any wifi network

Hi- Yes I tried manually adding the network (even deactivated password requirements on my home network but still doesn't work.)
I was reading another thread that has similar headline - seems the issue is with the upgrade to software iOS4 on a 3G. Folks have been able in some cases to get replacement phones. Seems issue is isolated to XP version. I have a MAC at home, so I will try to restore (yet again) on that computer and see if I can use it, otherwise I guess I'll go plead my case at the Genius Bar
Thanks on the responses. See "Wifi not working after updating to OS4 on iphone 3g" for more specifics.

Why is only one device able to connect to wifi?

why is it that I can only connect one device at a time through my airport extreme? Is this a WEP vs WPA issue? Help!

No I purchased them all from itunes store. When I move them over to transfer, only one will transfer and the others go back to the other side.

Trouble connecting to a WiFi network in OS X Mountain Lion

Why is it that sometimes I cannot connect to a WiFi network unless I move that specific network to the top of the list of my preferred networks under a profile in my WiFi settings? I dont understand it because OS X Lion had the same problem. Sometimes when I am connected to a WiFi network, it acts like it isn't connected, and I can't use Safari or any other interet-based application. It gets me so fustrated!

After countless hours, and two hours of a phone discussion with MSU support, the support person figured out the issue.
There are two articles that I am sure explain this much better which I will place in this post. Read the articles to their entirety if yo want to know what is going on. My original understanding of the root cause was actually incorrect. However, the fix seems to work.
The fix was fairly easy. Basically I had to load FireFox, and load the webpage from MSU that was sending the certificate. Then export that certificate, import it into the keycahin, then mark the cerificate as "Always Trust".
I actually did this for two certificates: guestlogin2.wireless.msu.edu.crt and dhcp.msu.edu.crt. I had to do this for each user on the account, and reboots were required. It seems to have fixed the issue. (3 MacBooks so far)
http://superuser.com/questions/349740/mac-os-x-lion-10-7-2-update-breaks-ssl
Useful clip from the above:
In my experience this happens only when connecting behind a captive portal. I think the reason is that the operating system tries to validate the certificate of the captive portal's login page, but the validation process requires internet access. I was able to fix this problem by manually adding the certificate of the captive portal page to the keychain and marking it as always trust.
You can export the certificate with the following steps:
Visit the captive portal page in Firefox
Select Tools > Page Info > Security > View Certificate > Details > Export
Save the certificate to your hard drive with the extension ".crt"
You can import the certificate with the following steps:
Open Keychain Access.app
Drag the certificate from Finder into a keychain
Double click on the certificate and expand the "Trust" section
Choose "When using this certificate: Always Trust"
Close the popup window
If you cannot open Keychain Access because your keychain is corrupted, turn off wireless, delete~/Library/Keychains/login.keychain and /Library/Keychains/System.keychain, and then reboot.

How to authenticate using PEAPv1 (EAP-GTC) to connect to a wifi network in iPad 3?

The iPad in Business deployment senario guide says that we can connect to a wifi network using the PEAPv1 (EAP-GTC).
But when we try to connect it, there is no option to choose that authenticaion method.
Also, when we try to create a profile using iPone Configuration Utility, there is just PEAP available (by default PEAPv0 (EAP-MS-CHAP v2)).
It is very important for me as my organisation allows only PEAPv1 authentication and I'm not able to connect to its wifi network.
Thanking all of in anticipation.

Does Find My Iphone Connect To Random Wifi Networks In Attempts To Locate Ones Apple Product ?

I am and though i have my music backed up was wondering how efficent is this service ? Does It Connect To All Every Or Any Wifi Networks In Range To Help Find Product ?

The device must be connected to a wifi network (unless it's an iPhone, which can also connect using cellular data) in order to be located with Find My iPhone. This means that it must be ibe a known wifi network (one that it has connected to before) in order to be located, not a random one.

TS3304 My ipad2 wifi 16GB will not now connect to ANY wifi network.

My router, BTHOMEHUB2 is working fine, as my iPhone4 and my wife's iPad2 connect ok.
My iPad2 has suddenly stopped being able to connect to ANY wifi network, both at home and local pub.
Have done a Restore. Message is 'Unable to connect to network'. In the pub, no message, but kept asking for password.
Any suggestions appreciated please.

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

HT2250 I have been able to get my MacBook Pro to print wirelessly through my Airport device. How do I make it so other computers (non-Mac) can also print wirelessly as well? They are able to connect through my wireless network but can't print.

Well, you could install the drivers to the wireless printer in you other computers.

My husband has a Mac mini, vintage 2009, running Snow Leopard. All other computers and devices in the house are able to connect to our wireless network, but since I upgraded his computer to Snow Leaopard it won't connect. What is the problem?

What am I missing here. I'm sure it is some kind of sitting that is not right.
Thanks Pat

Sounds familiar:

Power off and then back on the router
What happens when you enter the network's PW?
Try forgetting/deleting the network if necessary. To do that go to System Preferences>Network>wifi>Advanced and select the network and click on the minus sign

Was working fine this morning but now all of a sudden it won't let me sign in and connect. User name and password is correct! Never had any problems in the past. iPhone 5 is connecting iTunes but not my Apple TV??

Have you unpowered and restarted it?

Why isn't my device showing up on either the sidebar or upper right hand corner of the screen? This has only occurred after updating to the new ITunes update?

My ipod 5 was stolen but I have find my ipod installed on it but my ipod isn't/never was connected to a wifi network when it was stolen so how will my ipod play sound or go on lost mode and if there's no wifi connected to it?

my ipod 5 was just recently stolen in a waterpark (same with my best friend) and when i went on to find my ipod I pressed play sound and lost mode but it never successfully did all those things because my ipod wasn't or isn't connected to a wifi network as it says in the app. so how will I ever find my ipod if it never is going to connect to a wifi network without the thief accessing my ipod (I have a passcode). and also when I check the app once in a while it says ipod is online but cannot find location, so does that mean the thief is using my ipod or is trying to get in?

Yo are correct. It has to connect to internet for the FindMyiPhne features to be transmitted to the iPod
lost/stolen
No app on the iPod is required.
- If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected, on a computer browser go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up or conbtinue to show off-line.
- You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
iCloud: Erase your device
iCloud: Use Lost Mode
- If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
- Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
- There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it unless you had iOS 7 on the device. With iOS 7, one has to enter the Apple ID and password to restore the device.

My mini is connected to the wifi network, but is not able to connect to the working internet... can anybody help, please?

192 is local address within your network.
Unless the adddress is of a server that can reolve URL names to ip addresses you wont be able to load an external web page.
You can check what it should be by checking your router status page.
Or if you have an iOS device check under settings, W-Fi, select the network your attched to, then see what is next to DNS.
