Won't connect to PC, but charges in wall fine.

All of a sudden my iPhone 3G wont show up as a device on my PC (windows vista 64, iTune 9.1.0.79). My wife also has an iPhone and we sync on the same machine. Her's works fine with the same USB plug I'm using. I can use the same USB plug to charge the phone in the wall, but when I plug into the PC it does nothing, doesn't even charge or to that beep thing. any help would be appreciated. (version 3.1.3)

Have you rebooted the phone recently?
Hold the home button and power button down at the same time - past the Slide to Power Off note.
It should flash and then really turn off. Wait a sec, then press and hold the power button until the white apple appears.
This power off/reset is a good first step during troubleshooting.

IPod won't connect to wifi but the wifi is fine

My computer's wifi is fine but both mine and my sisters iPods won't connect to the wifi. What's wrong with my iPod?

Does the iPod connect to other networks?
Does the iPod see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iPod 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.

My iPod is up to a 4.1 ios, and it won't update to a 5.1 which I need for some of my apps for school. It keeps saying that my internet connection is bad; but, it works just fine. What do I need to do?

If you get a network timeout error, then disabling the computer's security software duirng the download and update usually resovles that error.
If that is not the error what is the wording of the error message.
Note that only a 3G or 4G iPod can go to iOS 5. A 2G iPod can only go to iOS 4.2.1

Ipad wont charge when connected to laptop but charges when connected to wall outlet

ipad wont charge when connected to laptop but charges when connected to wall outlet

The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W or 12W (5W on Mini) USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (2.5W, most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

I installed iOs7 on iPad 2 and now when i'm in iBooks and tap "store" i get a blank screen. Same thing in itunes, itunes u, app store, and a few other apps won't connect. Safari seems to be working fine.

I had this same problem. Tried everything the internet said including a full restore. Which was terrible. Nothing worked until.....go to general...reset....reset all settings.
You had to go back in and reset anything you customized afterwards, however it does not allow the store to load. Thanks!

IPod Touch 4th Gen won't connect to my computer, charge or connect to iTunes.

Okay, here is the issue. My computer runs Windows Vista. Ever since I have updated iTunes to 11.0.2, my iPod touch hasn't been able to connect to the computer at all. I don't know if there is any correlation between the update and my issue, but I need someone to be the judge of that. Apple has suggested that you uninstall iTunes, QuickTime, etc. restart the computer and then reinstall them. So I have done that multiple times, and my iPod still won't connect to the computer. My sister's iPod touch, 4th gen just like mine won't connect to iTunes or the computer either. I have spent a lot of time looking up possible solutions, but none of them work at all. I've done everything Apple suggests in troubleshooting and such, but nothing works. I was hoping someone else might be able to give me a solution. One that hopefully does not involve uninstalling and reinstalling Apples programs, which I have done several times.
I have tried all accessable USB ports on my computer, and I have switched between the four different USB cords that we have, so this isn't the issue. My PS Vita will connect to the computer with no issue at all, so it isn't the USB ports either. I can plug my iPod Touch into my PS3 and it will charge the instant I plug either end of the cable in, the same for my sister's. I can plug it into the dock on my mother's alarm clock and it will charge just fine. I'm open to any suggestion, so please help me out here.

So you tried everything here:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
If you have iTunes 11 turn on the Sidebar. Go to iTunes>View and click on Show Sidebar. You can also do a Crtl+S to show the sidebar. The sidebar is where Devices appears. and Control+B to show the Menu bar
Try connecting to another computer to help determine if you have an iPod or computer problem.

Won't connect to itunes or charge unless its in diagnostic mode.

My ipod classic won't connect to anything. My mac doesn't recognize it, my ipod player doesn't recognize it and my car radio plug in doesn't recognize it. It won't charge unless I put it in diagnostic mode, but once its charged it will play just fine with headphones. Help! What can I do to fix it?

I also already uninstalled and reinstalled itunes again and that didn't do anything either.

Firefox won't connect to internet but IE will!!

I'm using latest edition of Firefox on windows 07 laptop. Two days ago my internet connection slowed significantly (i was only one) for few hours but then things got to normal. My computer updated (windows) last night and when tried to turn on firefox it won't connect or load website pages. First it said errror in my connection, now message says 'the connection has timed out'. I have done everything stated on firefox support (checked proxy - am on college network so it was on auto and I switched it to no proxy - no luck), I checked my firewall (managed by mcafee) and even though windows is not being used on my laptop I added firefox just in case - no luck. I did the other steps on the page - no luck. IE is working fine and at reasonable speed so it's not the connection.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
Edit: don't know if this may help but googlechrome won't work for me either - it opens, and tries to connect to page but never does. . .

[[https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Cannot%20connect%20after%20upgrading%20Firefox?s=cannot+connect+after+upgrading+firefox&as=s]]
For me the problem was McAfee Security Center running on Windows 7. I reset McAfee and Firefox connected again.

My iphone 4s won't connect to wifi but other people's do

I have a new iphone 4S and it won't connect to the wi fi at our home. Other people in my family have iphones or nexus and they all will connect.
I enter the password and the wireless symbol appears for a second but then it says unable to connect.
I have no trouble connecting to other wifis in other locations.
Thanks in advance, it is getting very frustrating.!!!

Just had this same problem I went to the apple store today and they told me my wifi card was out and then gave me a new phone but I backed it up and it's not working again so they said one of my apps might have a virus that is interfering with my wifi so it's back to apple again tomorrow They said they will give me another new phone but I will have to set it up as new and will probably lose everything except the contacts that I have backed up so if I were you I would back up your pics and everything else in iCloud

Internet won't connect on imac but works on other devices

new-ish 20inch imac won't connect to any wireless networks (our own and the coffee shop next door) but other devices (iphones, macbooks) will.....this imac is used as a register in my retail store and without internet we are unable to process credit card transactions..we are losing business. HELP!!! thank you!!!

HI,
In most cases this is about the Internet Speed or the portion of it your computer gets that iChat can see at the moment it tests the speed during it's launch process.
That is to say that as you start up ichat it tests the speed it can see.
this can be effected by other computer doing a download and "taking" more of the Bandwidth or rather leaving a smaller amount for your Mac.
The same is true if your computer is already doing a download or using the Internet heavily.
Of course at that moment your ISP could also have cut the speed you get.
If you launch iChat and go to the Video Menu > Connection Doctor what does the Capabilities tab say ?
This may have red crosses against some items.
Also check iChat Menu > Preferences > Video Section > Bandwidth Limit
This should not be set at 100kbps fro Video chats.
Have you tried restarting the computer ?

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 drooping 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.
Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

My Ipod won't connect to Facebook, but it will log onto Skype

For some reason, my Ipod touch won't get on Facebook, but it will operate Skype just fine. Also, it will send me messages when I am offline as well, from Facebook Messenger, and the games that I play. I have tried resetting the internet connection, but it's still the same thing. And I have checked it for updates as well. Can anyone help me?

What is "it" in "Also, it will send me messages when I am offline as well, from Facebook Messenger, and the games that I play."
The iPod can send or receive message without an internet connection.
What iOS version on the iPod?
Have yo went to FB's support site?'Have you tried when connected to another network? Maybe the network is blocking FB

Ipod won't connect to internet but says its on wifi

Okay so I gave up my iPod for lent and of course as soon as I get it, it has problems.

I've tried factoryr restoring and it wont work . Yeah I just checked and it said the internet connection appears to be offline. Help?!

- Try powering off and then back on the router
- Try resetting your iPod:
Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
-Try resetting network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings.

Won't connect to PC, but charges in wall fine.
