WiFi problem - network selected but Edge icon still there

I have been using WiFi for weeks with no problem. All of a sudden, it won't work. I came home and my laptop wasn't getting signal either. I had to power cycle the modem and router. Now my MacBook Pro is connecting to the network, but my iPhone still isn't. I tried choosing forget this network and reestablished it. But it still doesn't work. After I type in my WPA password it shows that the network IS connected - there's a checkmark. But the EDGE icon is still there rather than the WiFi icon. There's no Wifi, even though when I go to WiFi in settings it shows the network is connected.
Help, please. I heard people talk about resetting in iTunes. Does that wipe out of of your information, or what?

An iPhone Reset does not affect any data or settings.
Press and hold the Home key and Sleep/Wake or On/Off key simultaneously until you see the white Apple logo and then release. This can take up to 10 seconds or so and ignore the slide to turn off prompt waiting for the logo to appear.
There are two settings with an iPhone Restore with iTunes - which Restores the iPhone to factory settings - treat the iPhone as a new iPhone or Restore from backup. When syncing with iTunes, iTunes updates the iPhone backup file if any data stored on the iPhone that is not synced via the iTunes sync process was changed since the last sync such as Text messages, Notes, cities tracked via the Weather widget, stocks tracked via the Stocks widget, Bookmarked Maps, etc. but either way will require a complete sync transferring all data such as iTunes music and video, Address Book contacts, Calendar events, email account setup information, Safari bookmarks, etc.

  • I have a MacBook Pro and the batter icon has an "X" in it.  I attempted resetting the SMC but it's still there. Not sure if the SMC didn't work or I have another problem.  Help?

    You can try the SMC again.

    Follow directions for a battery you should not remove yourself
    You can also try a NVRAM/PRAM reset (at the bottom of the same page in the above link
    Also hold the OPTION key and click on the Apple logo in the menu bar and click on system information, in the left column select power. Under the battery info see if it is charging (with the power adapter  plugged in) as well as the health info (condition should be normal), and battery installrd (should be YES)
    If other than these are different you may want to take it in to a Genius bar for a full diagnosis they will do that for dree.
    Hope this helps

    Go into the Music app and access the iTunes Store through it. You should on have to do so one time.

  • Hi, so I pushed autofill because I thought that it would put music on my phone from a different iTunes library but it didn't work, and now the songs show up grey in my music on my phone and they won't play, but they are still there. What can I do?

    Go back to iTunes, select the Music tab, uncheck the 'sync music; button, then hit apply.

  • Pop up is in safari from a third party website and won't let me do anything in safari unless I click on it. I don't want to click on it because it is probably a virus.  I hae tried restarting safari and also the computer, but it's still there.

    Thomas' answer is the preferred technique. Sometimes, these pop-ups will block you from quitting Safari. In that case, press option+command+esc, select Safari, and Force Quit. Then, use the shift key with Safari when relaunching it, per Thomas' suggestion.

    I want to delete books from my iPad but they are still there ....how do I get rid of purchased books?,

    You should be able to delete them from the bookshelf in the iBooks app via the Edit button at the top right of the bookshelf. If they show on the bookshelf with a cloud symbol on them then try turning Settings > iBooks > Show All Purchases 'off'. Is that what is happening ?

  • ITunes match turned off on 4s but "cloud" icon still showing

    I have signed up to iTunes Match and uploaded my entire music collection to the service.
    I have turned this functionality off in my iPhone 4s so that all music that appears on this device, should be music that is physically stored on the device.
    However, next to some albums/artists, a "cloud" icon is still showing.
    My first question is, what does this icon mean?
    Secondly, I cannot understand why this icon appears to some content and not others (see below).
    Again, all my music I have matched or uploaded to the "cloud" via iTunes Match (Windows) but with Match turned off, the icon is still appearing for some reason and only next to some content not all.
    Interestingly, no cloud icon whatsoever shows next to any individual song (under the "Songs" tab) regardless if one shows under "Albums" or "Artists" tabs:
    I am at a complete loss.
    I have turned iTunes Match on then off on the iPhone4s to try and correct the issue but no joy.
    Can anyone help?

    Hi Richard and all,
    Yes, the problem is solely iTunes Match.
    Essentially what I think is happening (in layman's terms), is the Phone is not "recognising" that iTunes Match is now turned off.  Ie, it's not "refreshing" the songs/albums/cloud status on the phone if the iTunes Match service/functionality is toggled on then off.  Its as if the service is still running in the background.
    Interestingly Richard, I noticed when I had iTunes Match set to off and flipped a track over to reveal the entire track listing on the album (as you've also demonstrated above), I could see the other songs in the album stored in the cloud (but not on the device). My phone would then start downloading these songs without me even having to select them! I could literally seem them downloading right before my eyes under the iTunes app!  Very very annoying!  It was as if the phone was assuming I wanted to download these tracks when in fact, I only wanted to view them.
    The only way I even discovered this problem was when I checked my data use and noticed it was quite large. Even though I had Match off, my Music app would be streaming songs stored in the Cloud!
    Hence, my only conclusion is, there is a bug in iTunes Match.  
    Since discovering this problem, I chose to do an "Erase all contents and settings" and setup my iPhone4s all over again.  Leaving iTunes Match off since, I have used only iTunes on my PC to put music onto my phone (and haven't switched  Match on again on my iPhone since). No cloud icons have been showing since and no weird streaming or downloading issues have followed.
    Have been unable to find many other people experiencing this problem on the interwebs (but I would think there would be a few!) so hopefully it gets fixed in an update by Apple?  It shouldn't have to come down to an erase and reset to get Match to "shutdown" properly.
    The premise of iTunes Match is great...our problem suggest it needs to be ironed out a bit more though.  Its also a shame as we've paid for it as a service.
    Where do we go from here? How can we report this to Apple to have it fixed?

  • Have upgraded to Snow Leopard. Pages icon still there but wont open, and i cant open my pages docs. Any ideas

    Have upgraded to Snow Leopard. Pages icon still on dock but wont open. Also I cant view my documents. Do I have to buy Pages from ITunes? Thankyou

    Good, use the disc. Also do the software updates. You can download from here http://www.apple.com/support/pages/
    and you don't need the Pages 4.1/ iWork 9.1 I downgraded from iWork 9.1 to iWork 9.0.5.

  • All songs on iPod missing after store purchase - but they're still there!

    This is an odd problem.
    I have a 30G ipod which I've been using trouble-free for a year. The other day I purchased a new album in iTunes and, when it had been downloaded, dragged it to my connected iPod within iTunes (I'm set to manual sync). It transferred fine; I ejected the ipod and went on my merry way. When I powered up the ipod later, the ONLY album/artist listed on the whole ipod was the new one I just downloaded. All my other (24GB) songs were MISSING. There were no errors reported by itunes, the ipod, or my computer. I'm using the recent itunes 6.0.4.2. Windows XP.
    I've done this same thing (purchase songs, manually sync them to ipod) a thousand times before with no trouble. This is only the 3rd or 4th purchase I've made using the latest itunes version (with the new protection scheme) so I suspect it has something to do with that.
    However when I access my ipod on my computer NOT through itunes (e.g. just as a USB storage device); I see all my songs still under the various music folders:
    <ipod>->
    iPod_Control->
    Music->
    F??
    Where F?? are folders F00 to F49. All the song files are still there, and I also found the new songs mixed in (with the most recent modification times). Also, the ipod itself, while it only lists the 10 songs I added - says that it has 24GB of data on it.
    Clearly an index somewhere is corruped and needs to be rebuilt. In the iTunes directory on the ipod, the "iTunesDB" file is only 268K - far too small for 24GB of music. But, this is ONLY on the ipod - all of my songs within itunes still show up.
    I do not want to re-download or "restore" (wipe) my ipod; as I have many playlists that would be lost, and a fair amount of uncopyrighted mp3 files on the ipod which are long gone from my computer and hence would be some difficulty to restore from backups.
    Is there any way to rebuild the ipod index (or fix this problem)??
    TIA!
    30GB   Windows XP   itunes 6.0.4.2

    "Other" is songs etc that have become corrupted, so the iPod no longer knows what to do with them.
    The usual fix for "Other" is to use iTunes to Restore the iPod (there's a button for it in iTunes). Since a Restore removes everything from the iPod (and restores the iPod to factory new), I suspect the only thing you can do is remove everything from the iPod and then put it back again.

  • Music is greyed out on iPod touch, it reads as empty, but files are still there?

    Hi all,
    I have a 32g iPod Touch that has never had a problem thus far.
    Yesterday, I connected it as usual and went to play a song from the iPod via iTunes. The song played perfectly fine. I had the iPod on shuffle, and after that song was over, it went through every song and "greyed them out" with the symbol. I then unconnected it and reconnected it. On the iPod itself, it states that I have "no content." Yet all of the music files are *still there* when I reconnect the iPod, but they're greyed out.
    I have reconnected/unconnected it numerous times (all safely) to try and figure this out. Sometimes, when I connect the iPod, the bar on the bottom of the information page shows that I have 24-ish gigs of music--which is correct. But out of nowhere, the bar will go back to saying that I only have apps and photos, no audio. I've restarted iTunes, restarted my computer, restarted the actual iPod--nothing helps.
    I can't sync the entire library back to iTunes because I manually manage my songs and most of the music is on an external hard drive. I'm aware that this means that the songs are greyed out in iTunes because the actual file isn't there. However, this has never been a problem on the actual iPod before.
    I updated my iPod to 5.1 earlier this week with no problems. I haven't added any new music to the iPod itself. I literally did nothing different from usual. I do have songs from other sources than iTunes, which could mean a corrupt file, but I didn't add anything new in the past week.
    I'm aware that a restore would fix this, and I'm okay with doing that...however, I'm more concerned as to WHY this happened in the first place. The loss of files came out of nowhere, with no improper syncs or improper disconnects, no new music, no new updates and nothing new being done. I just don't want to put all of the songs back on the iPod and have this happen again.
    Anyone have any ideas? Thanks. :]
