Wifi cannot connect to Orange wl networks in France

I was on holliday in Brittanny (France). When there was a wifi hotspot nearby I used my ipad 2  for internet and email. Mostly it worked good.
Only twice I could not get connected to the network allthough it was recoqnised by my ipad. When entering the password key I got a message saying that the ipad failed to connect or something would like that. On both occasions it turned out that the ISP was Orange.
Did someone have/had the same experience?  What could be the cause?

If none of the simple fixes work for you - they didn't for me - then return your phone to an Apple store and they should replace it for you. Once a genius has tried in vain to connect to their wireless network at the store they'll come to the rapid conclusion that there's a hardware fault.
Did with mine anyway

  • I installed Mountain Lion on my iMac. Now I cannot access the Internet. All the other computers and tablets have no problem. I did PRAM and MC reset, modem reset, etc., all the usual ju-ju. I also cannot connect on my local network to any other computer.

    I installed Mountain Lion on my iMac. Now I cannot access the Internet. All the other computers and tablets on the network have no problem. I did PRAM and MC reset, modem reset, etc., all the usual ju-ju. I also cannot connect on my local network to any other computer. Yet Network control panel says I am connect to the modem, and Network Diagnosis says I am connected to the Internet. It's like the blind man who has eyes that cannot see. BTW, I am not some newbee. I have been a Machead since the early nineties and set up a half dozen networks, including the one I am using at home to which the iMac mysteriously is there but not. This has me stumped! I am considering going back to 10.7!

    I keep getting the error 306 cannot connect to the iTunes Network when downloading songs on iTunes. I've tried all the troubleshooting steps from the forums and my technical issues are still unresolved. I have Windows 7. Please help!!

    iTunes Store loads partially or returns "Error 306" or "Error 10054"
    Proxies, parental control settings and software, security or filtering software, or a bad iTunes Store cache can cause this.
    To address proxies, Remove Internet Options proxy settings  ( http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1490 ) and connect to the Internet without a proxy.
    To reset iTunes Store cache:
    In iTunes, choose iTunes > Preferences (Mac) or Edit > Preferences (PC).
    Click the Advanced tab.
    Click the "Reset cache" button.
    Click OK and see if the issue is resolved.
    Adjust Parental Controls in iTunes:
    Open iTunes.
    Access iTunes preferences:
    On a Mac: From the iTunes menu, choose Preferences.
    On a Windows PC: From the Edit menu, choose Preferences.
    Click the Parental Controls tab.
    Remove restrictions on Parental Controls.

  • Cannot connect to the wireless networking

    My Toshiba Laptop was preinstalled with Windows 7 Home premium 64-bit OS, and it had been working quite well with the wireless BB. However, the wireless internet connection was on and off within recent weeks, while the other mobile devices, such as iphone, ipad, or laptop, in my household had no such problem. The wireless signal was so strong, but the error message always said 'Windows cannot connect to the wireless networking'. It seemed there was something wrong with the wireless adapter.
    I got a new TP-Link wireless adapter properly installed. Luckily, this worked; but unluckily, this worked for less than 24 hours. It was really frustrating that I, as a full-time student, depended so much on wireless networking.
    Please help!!! Harry

    Hi there
    You may want to enlighten us with:
    - What model are You using (f.ex. L300-123)
    - What BIOS version is installed?
    - What WLAN driver are You using?
    All these questions are answered in PC Diagnostics found under Toshiba app folder in the start menu.

  • Yet another iPhone WiFi thread - cannot connect to some OPEN networks

    I make no apologies in starting another thread about iPhone WiFi connectivity. Judging by the number of references to WiFi issues in this forum, as well as on the Internet generally, this is a big issue with many users and yet there seems very little acknowledgement by Apple that there is problem.
    In my case I have a first generation iPhone which works well on most WiFi networks, both open and closed, including my secured network at home, but cannot connect properly with some open networks. I have had this problem while using 1.0, 2.0 and 2.1 firmware.
    Sometimes I get the "Cannot Connect ..." message and sometimes I am able to connect and obtain a good signal and see an IP Address and a Subnet mask, but no Router or DNS address.
    I'll repeat that I talking about open networks, so there is no password issue. In one local cafe, I am unable to connect to a network that I used to be able to connect to routinely. I have talked to the owner, who is another Mac and iPhone user and he assures me that he has not changed any router settings.
    Can anyone offer any suggestions beyond the usual re-setting and re-booting options? Is there something about iPhone MAC addresses or the WiFi signal that certain routers don't like?
    Simon

    This is not a solution to your problems but:
    1- Expecting someone from Apple to respond here is a vain hope. This is a discussion forum for users and you can only expect responses from users. Talk to Apple tech support if you want a response from them.
    2- I saw an item on an iPhone blog page somewhere yesterday saying that Apple was now replacing iPhones with this issue if you took it to an Apple store. Don't know if it's true but it also had a workaround that you could use for your own home network if you were having problems—and I am—and that workaround basically worked for me.
    I turned wi-fi off on the phone and opened Airport Utility on my iMac. I turned wi-fi security OFF and then tried to connect. I actually got a connection straight away, and I noted down the IP addresses and subnet mask data from the DHCP screen in the iPhone's wi-fi network info screen. I then restored wi-fi security on my iMac. Of course that restarts the router and I lost my connection and when it started up again, the IP addresses had changed but the subnet mask had not. I swapped to the Static screen instead of the DHCP screen and edited all 3 IP addresses. That got me my connection back and it has continued to work throughout today. That's the best result I've had so far.
    It seems to me that my iPhone has problems picking up the network data from my home network and I don't know why that is. I was at a friend's last night and tried to connect to his system and it connected straight away. I assume there's something about my settings which is problematic but I don't know what it is but at least now I have a workaround.
    It's possible that something similar is going on for you with the public networks you're having problems with but, unfortunately, the workaround I tried won't work for you in a public network so that's probably not much help.
    You could try taking your phone to an Apple Store and seeing if they exchange it. The blog I read suggested the magic words were "hardware problem". In my case I don't think it's a hardware problem but it may be in yours.

  • After using hotel wifi,cannot connect to internet at home network

    after using wifi in the hotels this week, i cannot connect to the internet via my home network. I'm connected to the wifi but, can't connect to the internet.

    I would recommend that you do the following as a minimum:
    Power-down the modem, AirPort base station, and computer(s).
    Power-up the modem; wait at least 10-15 minutes to allow it adequate time to initialize.
    Power-up the AirPort base station; wait at least 5-10 minutes. Note: The AirPort's status light may continue to flash amber after it has intialized. That is because, there may be some additional configuration items necessary, like setting up wireless security, before the overall setup is completed to get a green status.
    Power-up your computer(s).
    If the above steps do not solve the problem, start over with step 1 above, but then perform the next steps between steps 1 & 2. above.
    Disconnect the AirPort base station from the Internet broadband modem.
    While all of the devices are powered-down, perform a "factory default" reset on the base station. This will get it back to its "out-of-the-box" configuration and make setting it up much easier, especially if you use the "Assist me" process within the AirPort Utility. (ref:Resetting an AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule)
    After the base station resets, go ahead and power it back down.
    Reconnect the AirPort base station to the Internet broadband modem. For the Extreme and Time Capsule, be sure to connect the cable to the base station's WAN (circle-of-dots) port.
    Continue with step 2 in the first set of steps.
    In this basic configuration, the AirPort base station will broadcast an unsecured wireless network with a Network Name (SSID) of Apple Network NNNNNN. Network clients, connected to the base station either by wire or wireless, should now be able to access the Internet through the ISP's modem. Once Internet connectivity has been verified, you can use the AirPort Utility to configure the base station for wireless security and any other desired options. Please post back your results.

  • Cannot connect macbook to wireless network

    Hey, I wonder if someone can help? I live in the uk & want to connect my nephew's macbook to his home wireless network.
    His network is run off a Windows based pc, I have read in the forums that this is ok. He has a rather old pc that has no wireless card so I have installed a Netgear usb adaptor which runs just fine. The pc can "talk" to the Orange Livebox (Livebox -3660) and the pc can connect well, to the internet via the Livebox. So I have a stable internet connection.
    The problem is that we cannot get the macbook ( a few months old only ) to connect at all to the net!
    On the macbook there is no signal reading at all, airport is scanning for a network,it finds Livebox-3660 ok but when we enter the password the macbook says cannot connect!
    Its curious that there is no signal reading at all on the macbook, yet it is right next to the livebox?
    When I take the macbook home to my house, it connects immediately to my imac....full signal no problems. All systems go...
    I must be missing something obvious ?? The security set up is currently WPA-PSK I dont know if this has a relevance? should I change this to make it more compatible to WPA2 ??
    Much appreciate the help of the good people on this forum.
    Thank you in advance. W

    Sorted it!

  • Personal Hotspots Now Listed Under WiFi - Cannot Connect

    Strange problem.
    I have an IPad Air that I enable Personal Hotspot.  Works great on my Mac, works great on an iPhone 5s, works great on iPhone 6 Plus.  On iPhone 6, I cannot connect.  All iOS devices are running iOS 8.0.  Strange thing, on the one that it is not able to connect, there is a new "Personal Hotspots" area under WiFi.  The other devices have the Personal Hotspot show up with the other WiFi hotspots - these can connect without issue.
    I thought there was a new feature in iOS8 that allowed one device to automatically enable the hotspot of another iOS device, so I tried disabling the personal hotspot on the iPad Air and get the same error.  See enclosed pictures, notice how the iPad Air shows up in two different locations, when under WiFi, it connects.  When listed under "Personal Hotspots" it does not connect.

    In Settings -> Cellular
    I get:
    Cellular Data (on)

    Cellular data Network (for APN option)

    Does the iOS device connect to other networks?
    Does the iOS device see the network?
    Any error messages?
    Do other devices now connect?
    Did the iOS device connect before?
    Try the following to rule out a software problem:                 
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on the router
    - Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    - iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    - Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
    - iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    - Restore from backup. See:
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.
    Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
    Could it be this:
    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.

  • My iPhone 4s cannot connect to my home network, can't figure out why...

    My phone recognizes my home network but cannot join it.  I have tried the option to forget the network and then gone back in and retyped in the password, but it just keeps spinning in a circle trying to connect to my home network, but never connects?
    Both my iMac and Macbook have no problems being connected to the same network.
    Any thought on what the problem could be?
    Thanks

    Have you tried to reset all network parameters? It may help.

  • Cannot connect 8500a to wireless network

    i input the mac address during wireless network install but cannot connect printer to network

    Do you have MAC filtering enabled?  The printer will not like it plus it is not in the least a security measure.  I recommend disabling MAC filtering and just set the encryption to WPA2 with a strong, 13+ character, passphrase.
    Say thanks by clicking "Kudos" "thumbs up" in the post that helped you.

  • Cannot connect to printer on network

    I recently moved house and want to recconect my wireless printer (Epson WorkForce 845) to my new network. My iad and iphone see the printer on the new network and print fine, so i know it is not a printer issue. Howeve my imac cannot connect to the printer. In Printers & Scanners, I have tried removing and ading back the printer. The problem is that the default printer only offers ""last Priner used or "Epson WorkForce 845". Selecting either fails to print and gives a "Stopped - 'Filter' failed" message.

    I am having the same problem on our home network. Have enabled printer sharing on the mac and the PC but the mac does not "see" the printer hooked up to the pc.

  • Self-assigned IP****cannot connect to university wireless network

    After i installed snow leopard I cannot connect properly to my university network. It says that a self assigned IP and cannot connect to the internet.
    I have tried many things but nothing seems to change this problem
    I need to be able to connect to the internet at school.

    I have the same problem with the Exchange server at my work. Once I loaded Snow Leopard, no access. I can get on my Time Machine at home fine and can even access the open WAP at work, but since Snow Leopard access to the Exchange server is gone. The hype for Snow Leopard says easier access to Exchange services but I can't find any info on what that means anywhere. Anybody find the Exchange info?

  • Cannot connect to the secure network but can to the guest network

    I have three computers in my home, all Apple. One is an iMac with 10.5 installed, another is a powerbook g4 17" with 10.5 installed and the third is an old titanium powerbook g4 15" with 10.4 installed. All of them have the newest versions of software.
    I just bought a new time capsule and that has the newest firmware upgrade installed. I set the time capsule up with a secure WPA Personal network and a guest network with no password. I can connect to the secure network on the iMac and the 17" powerbook but the titanium powerbook cannot even see the secure network or connect to it if I enter it and put in the correct password. However the titanium powerbook can see and connect to the guest network.
    Please help, I need to be able to print from the titanium powerbook to an ethernet printer connected to the time capsule.
    I've tried adding a wireless client with no password in airport utility thinking I could connect the titanium powerbook that way and that does not work either.

    Actually I have figured it out. I guess the titanium powerbooks cannot do WPA encryption, only WEP but I cannot choose WEP in the airport utility nor do I want to. I did find a work around though.
    In airport utility I went to the base station menu and clicked on "equivalent network password" and it shows the WPA password and then something called "WPA Pre-Shared Key". The key is a 64 character password but I tried it on the titanium powerbook and it worked!
