Why won't my Wi-Fi work at school?

I go to school type in the correct password for the network and then it says i have Wi-Fi in the corner of ny iphone 4s but then when i try to go on any Wi-Fi thing it won't work as if i don't have Wi-Fi it just sits there loading forever and never works. What is wrong with it? How do i fix it?

Contact your schools IT department. They are the best ones to answer that question.

If you are accessing a school facility or site, then it should work. If you are trying to access a gaming site or a social media site such as facebook, then the school might have got it blocked.

Make sure you are accessing a site that the school would want you to be accessing, and if does not work ask their IT people. Many schools block non-school sites to reduce the risk of getting viruses or malware on their network.

Also, some schools require you to register your device with them before you can use their network, then if there's an infection of malware it helps them locate who caused it.

  • Why won't my iPhone earbuds work on my iPhone but work fine on a computer? So I have the worst luck with earbuds and it happens to be reoccurring. I have a normal iPhone 5 and I enjoy music but when I listen to my songs only one earbud will work while the other one is dead. I can go on my computer and they will both work so I was wondering why they both won't work on my phone?
  • Why won't my Wi-Fi connect at school? So at my school the Wi-Fi password connected for me once, and then it changed, so today I typed it in right and it said unable to join so I tried to join again and it just had the loading sign next to the Wi-Fi and I waited and waited but it wouldn't connect. I tried restarting my phone and I re entered the password and it would not work and i don't know why. I have a iPhone 6 on iOS 9.1
  • Why does my connection barely work at school? At school me and my friends barely have connection on our iPhones. We usually have to use the wi-fi because our phones won't work. I don't mind using wi-fi because we found out the teacher wi-fi password but I want to know why my iPhone connection never works. P.S. We all use Sprint just in case that had something to do with it.
  • ITunes won't work at my school Ok so since I don't have a computer I can call mine at home, I get all of my music off the schools mac computers at school, when I had iOS 6 and the older version of itunes everything was fine, but since I updated to iOS 7 and the newer version of itunes compatible with iOS 7 when I drag music to my iphone 4 the screen reads "you do not have enough access privileges to perform this action" any way to get past my schools restrictions?
