  • Wifi Connection Issue - Please Help

    Pleae help.  I received a new iPod touch 4th generation yesterday.  When you go to the wifi page, it shows the name of our router and when I select it, it asks for the password.  The password is put in CORRECTLY.  And then to the left of the router name, where the check mark goes when my old IPod and iPhone connect to the network doesn't change to the check mark to show that it is connected.  After putting the password in, there is a circle turning around in complete circle, but never changes to a check mark thus not letting me connect to the internet.  Please help.  Several devices are connecting to the wifi at the same time, so I know it is working. 
    I have turned off the iPod and resarted it.  - still doesn't work
    I have reset network settings - still doesn't work.
    I have earsed iPod and let it reload - still doesn't work.
    Please help. 
    Summary:  iPod Touch 4th generation - shows wifi and accepts wifi password, BUT never connects to let me get on the internet. 

    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.

  • IOS 8.0.2 update causing problems with wifi connectivity..please help

    latest update having problems ...please help..!!!!!!!!!!

    Just a quick snapshot of my chain of events.  I’m currently on my fourth iPhone 6 Plus 64GB here in London, UK. Every time I have spoken to AppleCare and told them that I have gone through all the Wi-Fi troubleshooting methods possible they have asked me to get a brand new retail replacement as I’m within my 14 day return period.  I’ve been experiencing the following issues:
    Wi-Fi disconnects and switches to 4G (Restart required for temp fix)
    Wi-Fi is still active but there is no traffic or activity– often when in sleep mode for long periods of time.  (Toggle Wi-Fi on/off for temp fix)
    Wi-Fi disconnects and cannot find any networks (restart required for temp fix)
    This has been occurring on both iOS 8 and 8.0.2
    The issues are the same on both my 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz networks
    This is affecting my ip6+ and 5s (5s used to work perfect on ios7 on same networks) – My MBP-R and all other devices run perfectly on my network.
    I spoke to AppleCare again yesterday and asked for their advice as its now my fourth iPhone in just under a month. This time they said that apple were fully aware of the Wi-Fi problem and that new repair tickets were not being raised for their engineers as they are already working hard to get this resolved. They also said they could see all the issues raised on the apple discussions boards which they usually don’t admit too! I asked what to do next and the advisor apologised and said this is clearly a software glitch and will be resolved in the next update. I asked for a timescale but unfortunately none was given.
    As stated above I have tried all the troubleshooting methods discussed on forums and on tech websites but the only thing that gives me a stable connection without any disconnects (especially on my 6 plus) is turning cellular/mobile data off when I know I’m going to be on Wi-Fi for a sustained period of time (e.g. at home or work). I appreciate this is annoying but it’s the best temp fix until an update comes out.
    Hope it helps everyone who is having issues with their devices that have cellular functionality.
    Any comments welcome

  • Connectivity Question *PLEASE HELP!*

    Hi all,
    PROBLEM
    I have an Xbox 360 in my bedroom, which is on the 2nd floor of my house. My FiOS Actiontec Router is on the first floor of my house. My Xbox 360 does not connect/recognize the router, which leaves me unable to connect to Xbox Live and therefore unable to play online. The path between the router and the Xbox 360 goes through one ceiling/floor and a few (not sure how many) walls. I'd say that they are easily only 20 feet apart, at most.
    QUESTIONS
    How can I increase the range of my signal to connect with my Xbox 360?
    Can I move the router to my room, depite having no cable outlets (FiOS white cords) in my room?
    Is it worth the trouble to try to run a 40+ foot ethernet cable to my room, without sacrificing speed?
    Are there any reliable antennae that I can attach to my router to extend the range?
    Preferably, I would like to move the router to my room, but understand the challenges associated with that task. Please enlighten me (and speak English ) as I am a "noob" with all of this router stuff.
    Thank you in advance!

    Make sure your X-box wireless adapter supports WPA security. If it is a newer Actiontec That is the default security. WPA2 is recommended. Now if you have an older wireless adapter for the X-Box it may not support WPA or WPA2, thus not connect based on the SSID and security key affixed to your router. WEP is not secure at all, and it would be a crime in this day in age to call it security. Find out what your X-box adaptor supports. Or run Ethernet cable.
    QUESTIONS
    How can I increase the range of my signal to connect with my Xbox 360?
    Purchase a wireless access point or router that may provide a stronger signal. Or try changing the wireless channel in use. Read this post regarding wireless connections. If it is not connecting at all, make sure you have the proper SSID and Key.

    Can I move the router to my room, depite having no cable outlets (FiOS white cords) in my room?
    NO. Unless you have COAX to your room, "white cords" then you could relocate the router. But remember anything that was using Ethernet would lose the connection at the previous location. You could connect a MOCA adapter to the COAX that would provide an Ethernet connection. (MultiMedia Over Coax Alliance.) Provides the Internet Protocol over COAX.
    MoCA Operates with IPTV, CATV and DBS.

    Is it worth the trouble to try to run a 40+ foot Ethernet cable to my room, without sacrificing speed?
    YES. PULL AN ETHERNET CABLE.
    That will only help your speed. My entire house is wired Gigabit Ethernet. My daughters X-Box is on the third floor, with my wireless routers being located in the walk out basement. I run everything hardwired Ethernet, with the exception of phones, tablets, or laptops. I would not expect to get great wireless speeds for use on the gaming console. If you have FiOS, run a hard wired connection to it and take advantage of the speeds you have.
    Are there any reliable antennae that I can attach to my router to extend the range?
    Someone else might answer this one. The newer routers Rev. I have two antenna connections, and I am not sure how that would work out. If you have an older router such as Rev. F of below, you may wish to contact support and tell them you are not getting decent speeds based on you level of service, and they may replace your router at no charge. If it is a Revision A through D, it would be a no brainier. They are trying to get the older routers out of circulation.
    Preferably, I would like to move the router to my room, but understand the challenges associated with that task. Please enlighten me (and speak English ) as I am a "noob" with all of this router stuff.
    If you relocate the router to your room, remember the Ethernet connections would all be in your room. Now if you have speeds above 75/35, like the 150/65, Verizon would have run Ethernet and COAX cable from the ONT to your router. Meaning you would need both at your new router location. ONT (Optical Network Terminal) the box usually mounted on the side of the house where your phone line come in.
    Thank you in advance!

  • Internet works, but I have an exclamation mark instead of AirPort connection and cannot connect to my WiFi.. PLEASE HELP!

    Internet works, but I have an exclamation mark instead of AirPort connection and cannot connect to my WiFi.. PLEASE HELP!

    When you see an exclamation point in the Wi-Fi menu, from the menu bar, select
     ▹ System Preferences... ▹ Network
    Click the Assist me button and select Assistant. Follow the prompts. You may get a warning that Wi-Fi is not available, that you're too far from the base station, or that you're using the wrong password.
    Assuming that you've ruled out those possibilities, restart the computer and try again. If there's no change, click the lock icon in the lower left corner of the preference pane and authenticate, if necessary. From the Location menu at the top of the window, select Edit Locations. A sheet will drop down. Click the plus-sign button to create a new location. Give it any name you want. In the new location, set up the Wi-Fi service with the same settings you used before. Click  Applyand test.
    If there's still no connection, and if you have control of the router, compare its settings to Apple's recommendations. Some third-party routers may be incompatible in 802.11b/g/n radio mode. Try setting the mode to 802.11n only.

    This subject has been talked/written about a lot, after Lion was introduced. A solution from Apple has not yet been published, everybody is waiting.
    Try for instance https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3734081?start=15&tstart=0, but there are more discussion groups with the same subject: frequently lost WiFi-connections in newer Macs running Lion or up.

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    If you are unable to remember your password, security questions, don’t have access to your rescue address or are unable to reset your password for whatever reason, your only option is to contact AppleCare, upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.
    The operator will take you through some steps you may have already tried, however they need to be sure they have exhausted all usual approaches before trying to reset your account, so you should try to be helpful and show patience with the procedure.
    The operator will need to verify they are speaking to the account holder and may ask you some questions that only the account holder could know, and you will need to answer them if the process is to proceed.
    Once the operator has verified your identity they will send a message through to your device which contains an alpha numeric code, which you will need to read back to them.
    Once this has been completed they will send an email to your iCloud email address after a period of 24 hours, so you should check that mail is enabled in your devices iCloud settings.
    Upon receipt of the email, use the reset link provided to reset your password, after which you should be able to make the adjustments to iCloud that you wish to do.

    my apple id have been blocked an i do not remember the identity or security question please help what can i do?

    If your account is disabled you might be able to re-enable it via this page : http://appleid.apple.com, then 'reset your password'
    You might then need to log out of your account on your iPhone and iPad by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Storeand then log back in so as to 'refresh' the account on it.
    For your security questions, if you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) on your account then the steps half-way down this page will give you a reset link on your account : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312
    If you don't have a rescue email address then you will need to contact Support in your country to get the questions reset.
    Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699 (you can also try this link if you can't get your account enabled via the above)
    When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps half-way down the HT5312 link above to add a rescue email address for potential future use

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; this can be done by phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, or clicking here and picking a method, or if your country isn't listed in either article, filling out and submitting this form.
    They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.
