Will not join wifi

My iPhone will not join WiFi network... My iPad is on, my Mac is on, but the phone will not join.

Hi Jason,
Yes, other Macs, a MacBook Pro & Black MacBook, are connected to the network. The original router had WEP security and this router has WPA2 Personal security.
I just realized my iPhone won't connect to it either. I'll try resetting it with no encryption.
How do I make a new network location?
Thank you!

  • Computer will not join wifi network.  Please hep

    I've used it at my home, in the airport, and cafes, and it worked flawlessly, but now in my girlfriend's house I cannot join their network. I even installed a brand new Linksys router today and it still will not join. It finds the network SSID but refuses to join it. All other computers in the house have no problems.
    Please help.
    Thank you.

  • TS1398 I have just purchased an iPad mini and it will not join my wifi. It detects my wifi network but will not join. I have a Mac, 2 iPhones and an iPad 4 and all work perfectly. The new iPad mini just won't behave. Any ideas?

    I have purchased an iPad mini and it will not join my wifi network. Any ideas?

    Some things to try first:
    1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

    Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.

  • I have 2  iPads both the sane except for case color. One connects to my home wifi fine, the other will not "join". It finds the wifi name and the little circle turning wheel just spins.

    I have 2  iPads both the sane except for case color. One connects to my home wifi fine, the other will not "join". It finds the wifi name and the little circle turning wheel just spins. I have tried about ten different "fixes" none work.. Reboot, forget wifi, etc.
    Unplugged wifi on and on for about an hour.
    I have compared settings between the two and cannot see any difference.
    Both iPads worked fine last week. One made a trip to MI  and used cellular access just fine. Now that one still uses cellular OK, but refuses to "join" the wifi.
    Too bad I can't attach a picture.
    Anyone care to offer a unique workable solution I have not tried?
    Thanks

    Have you tried renewing the lease in the WiFi settings? Settings>WiFi>Your network name>Tap the blue arrow>Renew Lease. If you haven't tried that - try it first before reading the information about restoring the iOS software.
    Follow the instructions in here. If you are unsure about anything - do not proceed. Post back with questions first.
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software - Apple - Support
    Make sure that you transfer all purchases, backup the iPad and sync with iTunes first. When you restore to factory settings, iTunes should ask if you want to backup first, but it will not hurt to initiate a backup on your won before you even start the restore process.

  • MacBook will not join Airport network

    I am flummoxed. My MacBook will not join my Airport Extreme network. It was fine this morning. I have restarted the MacBook. I have restarted the Airport base station. My iPhone is connecting to the network fine. My TV is connecting to the network fine. My G4 is connecting to the network fine. So, it appears there is some issue with the MacBook itself. Any ideas what could be the issue?

    First, either update your profile or your OS to 10.5.6. There have been many bug fixes since 10.5.2 and some WiFi updates require the latest Leopard version.
    That being said, check your network preferences.
    Do you have a rational IP Address?
    If you are using an encrypted WiFi, you can temporarily turn off the encryption and see if the MB can join the network. If so, it's an encryption issue. If not, turn the encryption back on and we will have to look elsewhere.
    BTW, you should be using WPA since WEP has long ago been compromised and is useless, but thats a side thing right now.
    On the MB, I would run disk utility and repair permissions for starters.

  • Could not join "wifi network name".  A connection timeout occurred.

    Mac Pro running 10.7.5.
    Whenever the computes wakes from sleep or logs in, it no longer automatically connects to my wifi network.  When I manually select the network for from the Wi-Fi status in the menu bar, I get the following message:  Could not join "wifi network name".  A connection timeout occurred.
    Even though I get that message the machine joins the network with no other problems.  I am led to believe that is is on the Mac Pro as my Macbook and iPad/iPhone join the network with no issues. 
    I have tried deleting and restoring the preferred network, and remember networks is checked.  I have also restored my airport express base station.
    Any suggestions?

    I am deploying to Afghanistan and I will not have wifi access.  I will have a hardline access to internet.  How do I sync my apps, newsstand, etc without wifi connection?

    About the only other way I can think of is to have a computer with you or use one there, if you can put iTunes on it and download all your new stuff to the computer, then sync your iPad to that computer.
    In switching computers you will lose previous content, but, as I understand it anyway, downloaded content will be the same as long as the same apple ID is used.

  • I have an AirPrint printer and am signed up for the wifi 3G service but will not have wifi.  Can an IPad be hooked to a printer with a cable, or can I print somehow without wifi?

    I have a new air print-capable printer and am signed up to Verizon wifi+3G service but will not have wifi while traveling.  Is there anyway to print from my iPad in this situation?  Cannot the IPad be hooked up to a printer with a cable?  If not, this seems to me to be a real shortcoming with an iPad!

    iPads cannot be connected to a printer using a cable.
    You need some form of Wi-Fi network to print. You do not need to have that Wi-Fi network connected to the internet. There are some devices that will create a Wi-Fi network and allow you to print. Google it to find someplace ossicle solutions.

  • Cisco 3502 AP will not join 4402

    Have 5 WLC 4402's in my network.  I upgraded one of them to 7.0.98.0 to test the new 3502 APs.  When I go to join the new 3502 it will not join to the upgraded WLC.  Keep in mind all WLC's are in the same mobility group.  Does it matter that the rest of the controllers are not on 7.0 code?
    thanks
    izzy

    AP3500 requires a minimum of 7.0.98.0.  So my question is:  When  you console into the AP and reboot the AP (all in that order), can you please post everything?

  • Paths will not join with join tool

    I'm trying to use the join tool on a pencil path but the paths will not join. I saw a similar question earlier, but no answer was given as it was user error. I'm new to Illustrator, and I don't quite get what he/she figured out he/she was doing. One answer was that the open path should not be more than 1 inch apart, and it's not (0.2). I "scrub" with the join tool, get the blue line, but when I release, the line disappears and nothing happens? At this point I can't even figure out what's going wrong so I can backtrack. Ideas anyone?

    Please show a screenshot of the two lines.

  • HT204053 My iPad will not join the iCal at my work after I've been invited. It says it needs more information.

    My iPad will not join the iCal at my work after I've been invited. It says it needs more information. What up?

    A reset should help. Tap and hold the Home button and the On/Off buttons for approximately 10-15 seconds, until the Apple logo reappears. When the logo appears, release both buttons.

  • Since I upgraded to ISo6 my iPhone 4s will not retain Wifi passwords

    Hello
    I'm hope that someone can help as this problem is driving me NUTS. 
    Since I upgraded both my Iphone 4s and Ipad 3 to ISO6.  I've had nothing but problems with Wi-Fi access, inititally neither machine would remember the home networks (or any others) then suddenly the IPad3 fixed itself but still my Iphone 4s will not retain the password.
    It was always able without any problems to retain the passwords for any Wi-Fi networks before the upgrade - but no more. 
    I've tried pretty much everything that I read about from a reboot, resetting the wifi setting, resetting all settings, a factory reset and a restore - nothing helps!  The iphone connects to the network no problem - but if you go out or if the phone locks and more than 30 minutes goes by - it'll have forgotten the networks and will require that you reenter the password.  Which is getting more than annoying. 
    Given what I've tried I'm thinking that the software somehow got screwed up a little when it installed and I need to completely reinstall the ISO.  I also noticed the personnel hotspot is missing!
    Any help really appreciated as it's driving me crasy.
    Richard. 

    I read someone said you can tap on "other" when selecting which wifi you connect to and then entering the exact wifi name of the network you wish to join and the password and then joining that network allowed the password to be saved.  Also with iOS 6 the minimum length of the password needs to be 8 characters.  Maybe you password on your router is less than 8 characters long
