Iphone 4s wont connect to my internet when i try to connect i enter password in and it comes up with 'unable to connect' ive tryed reseting router, reseting network settings on iphone. HELP!

The fastest way to deal with your iPhone saying "unable to connect to network" is knowing the name of you network (SSID) and password. Go to settings>network>other and put in the name and password.

IPhone USB/BT/Wifi Unable to Connect after iTunes 10.7 Update

If anyone can help, it would be greatly appreciated!
Background:
I received and installed the iTunes 10.7 (21) last night. This morning, my MBP would not connect to my I phone via Wifi/USB/BT. I did some digging and apparently this is an issue with this iTunes update. I have subsequently removed iT 10.7 and reinstalled iT 10.6.3 and successfully retrieved the archive library. That all seems to be working well.
By way of trouble shooting the iPhone 4, I've been able to establish link to the Wifi and USB with my work Windows laptop, and wifi with my iPad 3 MacBook, so I'm reasonably certain that it is working correctly.
Hardware:
MacBook Pro:13/i5; OS 10.6.8 with all updates.
iPhone 4: iOS 5.1.1
I really don't want to update OS/iOS at this time for a number of reasons... like I really use the maps and would like to wait until that issue is fixed for iOS6.
So, what have I missed? What tweak did the 10.7 update do that I can undo?
I'm sickeningly dependent upon my iPhone/hotspot and this is most distressing!
Anyone know how to correct this?
Best regards,
John

A bit more...
iPhone4 connects with the cable, I can sync, update, etc... just no wifi/BT/USB data...

Did you go to Settings>iTunes and App Store and sign out and then sign in with the new password?

Wifi no longer connecting after startup

wifi no longer connecting after startup... so I have to connect manually... started after 10.7.3
any ideas

Which computer are you experiencing this on?
There are several threads dealing with (mostly) iMacs + bluetooth keyboards/mice and issues with WiFi no longer automatically connecting. There seems to be some issue that 10.7.3 introduces with these series of macs.
No Apple provided solutions yet, but several workarounds: 1) attach a network cable direclty from modem/router to mac; 2) use the power button instead of mouse/keyboard to wake up mouse; 3) use USB keyboard/mouse (not personally confirmed); use airport extreme/express as a bridge.
Right now it's a waiting game until Apple provides another update. I do recommend going to Apple feeback: (http://www.apple.com/feedback/) and at least voicing your opinion. Calling AppleSupport will do the same, but they'll make you go through the same (likely useless) steps everyone else has done.
Good luck!

Wifi "unable to connect" for the past month

I have not been able to connect to my home wifi for the past month. It keeps popping up saying that it is unable to connect. sometimes it will work, but only for 2 minutes tops. My roommate uses the same internet connection and she said that she has not had a problem with it. I have tried rebooting it, turning it on airplane mode then resetting network settings and rebooting it, forgetting the network, and even resetting my entire phone. nothing will work. but my phone connects to the wifi at work and works perfectly fine. SOMEONE PLEASE HELP

The router in 99.99% of the time may be fine and see and connect to the devices it detects. However after certain updates to phones it has been said that the phone will not connect to the router.
There was a list of known routers on this forum that just did not work. The so!ution was to either reset the broadband modem, wireless router and turn off the phone.
Then if it connects your problem is solved. If it doesn't your next step is to see if there are firmware updates for the modem and the router. (Mainly routers) if it still does not connect a new router not on the non working list should be purchased. Yes its another expense but if you want the device to connect that is your option.
Another trick you can use is to change the security from WEP to WPA, PSK or WPA 2 and change the password to the router.
Some people stated a password of at least 9 figures / digits worked great.
If you placed the phone on its own IP address that also has been known to work.
However its best to talk to tech support at the router maker to assist.
Good Luck

Wifi doens't connect after upgrade to 10.7.5

I upgraded my imac to 10.7.5, and some how my wifi did not connect to the internet from yesterday. I tried network diagnostics for couple times, and there is one time the internet was on when the small window popup with the msn "some thing abt the network is ok" and then it disconnect again after a few sec. i tried to diagnos again but it still doesnt work. Then i reseted the router, and nothing changed. Is there anyone can help me out.

Please take each of the following steps until the problem is resolved. With a desktop Mac, you may need to use a USB keyboard or mouse. You should always have one of each available as a spare.
Step 1
Follow the instructions on the applicable pages linked below:
How to set up your Apple Wireless Keyboard
How to set up your Apple Wireless Mouse or Magic Trackpad
Step 2
Reset the System Management Controller.
Step 3
Back up all data.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Bluetooth.plist
Right-click or control-click the line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Move the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password. Reboot.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

Windows 7 Wifi Unable to Connect (one device)

I have 4 devices (asus laptop - personal, dell laptop - work, android phone - personal, windows 8 phone - work) that all used to connect to wifi networks without an issue. Both laptops run windows 7. I'm now in temporary housing for a few months with its
own wifi setup. I do not have control of this router. Everything but the dell laptop was able to connect to this network. However, the dell will give me the generic "unable to connect error" when I try to connect and obviously the troubleshooter
doesn't provide any more information than that. Also, my ethernet cables are packed away in storage and I really don't want to buy another one for this temporary period. I've seen a lot of similar issues posted, but none of the solutions posed have worked
for my situation yet.
So the dell has NEVER been able to connect at this location - this is not an issue where it gets booted off the network/has poor connectivity.
I've tried the following which did not work:
1) Manually entering IPv4/Gateway/DNS etc.
2) Sharing the network (protected and unprotected) from my personal laptop
3) Standard restarts, disconnect/reconnects, etc. for all devices and the router
4) Entering all the encryption types (even though I know it is WPA2-Personal, AES)
5) Yes, wifi is enabled on that computer
6) Given that this is a work device, I cannot easily uninstall/reinstall drivers due to security blahblahblah
I would appreciate any advice with this situation.
Thanks!

Hi,
First, please check the following event log log before you try any suggestions.
Microsoft-Windows-WLAN-AutoConfig
It’s under applications and services log.
Based on the current situation, you may perform the following suggestions to check the issue:
1. Update the router firmware and reset the router.
The default settings of Windows 7 should work normally with the wireless router.
2. Set up a new network with WPA2 Encryption.
3. Verify with the WLAN service is started and set to automatic, if the WLAN service is stopped, I would suggest you to start the service and put it to automatic.
4. Follow the steps to start the WLAN service and disable the IP Helper service. (Click on Start, type in services.msc. Select WLAN Autoconfig from the list, Right click properties)
5. Connect to another wireless router for a test.
In addition, Please Use Network troubleshooter event logs to solve network problems

Hope it helps.
