Wi-fi icon shows full signal - iphone 4s won't connect to anything?

Hi,
My iphone 4s shows that I am connected to wi-fi and have a full signal, however it is not actually connecting to anything; safari, apps, can't send email, can't 'see' phone on my mobile phone tracker etc.
I tried reseting the network connections, which did solve the problem but literally only for a few minutes. So frustrating.
Has anyone got a permanant solution to this problem?  All relevant software is bang up to date.  The phone itself is brand new, only 1 day old.
Please help!

Try rebooting the router. Just pull the power for a few seconds, plug back in, wait for the router to settle and see if you still have the problem.

  • Brand new iPhone 4s won't connect to ANYTHING via Bluetooth. Is there a fix to this?

    I purchased a 4s yesterday.  I was reluctant but took the dive.  I am incredibly disappointed to find that the bluetooth does not work with ANY other bluetooth device I try to 'discover.'  It can't even DISCOVER other bluetooth devices!  By what I've read online, this has been an issue.  Does anyone know if there is a fix and what it is?  I'd sincerely appreciate the guidance!!  Thanks!

  • I have full signal power, but says cannot connect to App Store?

    I have full signal power, but says cannot connect to App Store. I had put all of my icons in different folders to organize but took App Store out as troubleshoot.
    Any help?

    Are you trying to connect via wifi?
    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.

    my music is showing on my iphone, but won't download ???

    Are you talking about two different devices? If the music is on the phone and youcan access it from the Music app, then you can listen to it. If the music is not on the phone but on the iPod and  you want it on the phone, then you would have to sync the phone to the same library the iPod is synced to.

  • Updated iTunes to 11.0 (161). Now one iPhone 4 won't connect

    My wife and I each have an iPhone 4 that we backup and sync on a shared MacBook Pro. They have been working fine.
    Yesterday evening I updated iTunes to 11.0 (163). One iPhone 4 connects to iTunes and seems fine. I can backup and sync. The other iPhone showed up once briefly, then iPhoto opened automatically as if I had connected a camera or memory card. This same iPhone 4 will not show up in iTunes now. I've restarted the MBP and the iPhone multiple times but nothing. The cable seems fine since it works with the other iPhone. This second iPhone just won't connect.
    Any ideas?

    I think the problem is the iphone itself and the update to iTunes 11 was just a coincidence. My other iPHone 4 an both of my iPod Touches still connect, backup, and sync just fine.
    I'll try a factory reset to see if it's some buggered up setting, but my guess is the data port is toast. I'll see about repairing it or replacing it if the reset doesn't work.

  • IPhone 4 won't connect to Virgin wifi

    My 3G iPhone was connected to by home broadband - virgin wifi - but my new iPhone 4 won't connect. It can 'see' the wifi signal, but it won't accept the password. What can I do?

    Have you tried to connect to WiFi elsewhere?
    I couldn't get my Bigpond Cable wi-fi to connect to my iPhone 4, yet my iPad was connecting. Tried everything I read on the discussion forums - reset network settings, did a new restore without my backup, checked the Mac Address was listed on the router, reset the router - and Nada! Restored the phone again using my 3G backup again & made an appointment to see a Genius at Apple.
    Then I went to McDonald's the next day & it worked on their free WiFi. Got home, clicked on Wifi again through settings & the WiFi starting working! I don't why! WiFi works fine now, so no Genius required.

  • IPhone 6 won't connect to cell data after leaving wifi

    iPhone 6 won't connect to cell data after leaving wifi signal.  Need to reboot or go into airplane mode.  My area has LTE, but iPhone hasn't connected to that ever.  I'm thinking bad antenna or is this a cell provider problem.  I'm on AT&T.

  • My Iphone 5 won't connect to my PC

    My Iphone 5 won't connect to my PC. When I plug it in to my PC nothing happens at all. My cord chargers on the charger so I dont think the cord could be the problem. Also I updated all my PC software, as well as my Iphone and still nothing. I tried plugging in my itouch to see if it would work and it does! So i think something with my phone is the problem! Please help!

    Hi,
    I have the same trouble. After reading many internet sites around this subject I found the following solution.
    Although apple explained that it is not necessary with the lightning connector to use it in a special direction this seems not to be true.
    I have just turned my connector by 180° and it is working again.
    Hopefully this direction does not fail too. There are only 2 possibilities

  • My iPhone 5 won't connect to my macbook pro retina over bluetooth?

    My iPhone 5 won't connect to my macbook pro retina over bluetooth?

    Ah, sure it actually won't.  I have the same problem, and I contacted Apple Support.  They told me that there is an incompatability between the iphone 5 and MacBook Pro Retina such that Bluetooth pairing is not possible.
    The Support Agent actually had the audacity to tell me this was part of the design of the OS on the MacBook Pro, like Windows people saying, "That's not a bug.  It's a feature!!"
    Personally, I think this is insane.  While I was trying to tether the iphone to the MacBook Pro retina for an internet connection, there are other reasons related to file transfers for which one would want to pair the iphone 5 with the MacBook Pro retina.
    I am hoping this "feature" is fixed in iOS 7, and/or in some dot release of Mac OS 10.8.
    By the way, the personal hotspot feature on my Verizon iphone 5 works great either via a wifi or USB connection.  There are occaisions, however, when one would 1) not have a USB cable, and/or 2) have another wifi relationship between the phone and a network that one would not want to have to "forget" in order for it not to connect to that wifi network.  The Macbook will not find the iphone as a wifi hotspot if the iphone is connected to wifi in the first place.  At least mine won't.

  • My iphone 4 won't connect to my mac. It says that I need to install the lastest version of itune (11.1) but when I try to update itunes it says that I have the current version 10.6.3. Can someone please help!

    Hi,
    My iphone 4 won't connect to my mac book, it says that I need to install to latest version of itunes 11.1. When I go to itunes and try to update, it says that I have the latest version (10.6.3). Can someone please help me!
    thanks

    You are probably running OS 10.4 or 10.5 on a PPC Mac.  No version of  iTunes higher than 10.6.3 is available for these older Macs.  I have the same problem, and while I can still use the PPC to sync my iPod, it can't be used to sync an iPhone 4 or higher.  The only solution, as I discovered after upgrading to the iPhone 4, is to buy a newer Mac.  I was able to get a 2006 MacBook running Lion for under $300, and that has been a lifesaver.
