Can iphone be tracked when it is used to surf the internet in wifi?

Can iphone be tracked using the wifi by capturing the MAC address when it is used to browse the internet ?If so then it can be used to track the lost phone..

Yes, but you'd first need to know the GPS coordinates. You'd need a court order to get the carrier to release this info(extremely difficult to obtain), then you'd need the police involved to witness & verify the software being used to locate the phone by its Mac address(again difficult to do). But, possible.

Can I access my bookmarks later when I'm not connected to the internet?

Can I access my bookmarks later on when I'm not connected to the Internet via WIFI or cellular?

Well if by "access" you mean click on it and go to a site, no. No internet connection, no internet.The bookmark doesn't save the page or site, just the web address.
There ae some other browsers and apps in the app store that do save pages for offline reading, but Safari doesn't do this.

HT1595 can i surf the internet on my tv through my apple tv? or is it just for itunes

IS THE APPLE TV USED TO SURF THE INTERNET?

As this is a forum for resolving technical issues with Apple TV you may not get an answer to that question. As I said you can mirror your display provided your hardware is compatible (Mac mirroring coming with the next version of OSX) in order to browse using your HDTV.
There are devices that have the function natively but they cost more and the browsing experience leaves a lot to be desired. Best to do some research and find out what suits your needs.

My iPhone 4 froze when I was using the Facebook app. The only thing moving is the indicator at the top spinning to show its "thinking." Its been like this for about an hour, I can't even turn it off. Any ideas (other than letting the battery go dead)?

Thank you, I've tried that but it won't work either, the logo never comes up. It just stays on the FB app screen. I tried connecting to iTunes to see if I can fix something from there and it freezes iTunes. Also tried disconnecting the wifi (I don't know how I thought that would help but worth a try) and plugging it into the charger but still nothing. I think I'll have to visit the store tomorrow. I appreciate it, though!

Resetting Airport Extreme disabled my home network. Now when i attempt to get to internet with iPad, or iPhone, I see an Earthlink (ISP) window with message: The internet connection is currently in use by another computer (nun.nn.n.nn)

Resetting Airport Extreme disabled my home network. Now when i attempt to get to internet with iPad, or iPhone, I see an Earthlink (ISP) window with message: The internet connection is currently in use by another computer (nun.nn.n.nn) Enter your DSL Account logon psassword to switch the internet connection to this computer. If I do that, other messages follow. I am usually able to switch connection, but can have only one device on internet at a time. Tried to correct problem using Airport Utility, but failed.

Unfortunately, there is mass confusion about whether a device might be a modem or a modem/router since the terms are mixed up all the time. Even though a device might have only one Ethernet port, it can still be a router.
If this is your "modem".......

It is not a modem.....it is a modem/router. If that is the case, then the AirPort Extreme is not the only router on your network....it is one of two routers, and it should be configured to operate in Bridge Mode.
Does this device appear to be your "modem"?

How can i stop an error message that comes up when i am using word? the error message is "word is unable to save the Autorecover file in the location specified. Make sure that you have specified a valid location for Autoreover files in Preferences,-

It sounds like if you open Preferences in Word there will be a place where you can specify where to store autorecover files. Right now it sounds like it's pointing to somewhere that doesn't exist.

I want to give my old iPhone 4 to my grandson to use like an iPod Touch. Wifi only. How do I deactivate my info..so he can buy his own apps. and not have the cloud pushing all of my data to the old phone?

Just turning off Cloud will not prevent him from turning it back on.
Rignt now, if he uses the App store, iTunes thinks it's talking to me.

First, turn off iMessage, FaceTime & delete the iCloud account, while your sim is still in the phone. Then: Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content & Settings. Give it to your grandson & he gat then set it up as he wants.
Important your turn iMessage & FaceTime off to disassociate the phone from your Apple ID. Apple "claims" to have fixed this with iOS 6.0, but until I can absolutely confirm such, I still recommend you turn all of that stuff off first.

I sent in my iPhone 6 for repair. I used restore on the loaner phone I was given, and the contacts, texts, reminders, and Safari pages all showed up. My phone is back, and when I used the restore function again, those items are missing.

I sent in my iPhone 6 for repair. I used restore on the loaner phone I was given, and the contacts, texts, reminders, and Safari pages all showed up. My phone is back, and when I used the restore function again, those items are missing. I do not use iCloud because I have no wifi at home, limited data available for regularly backing up, and I have a 64GB phone and don't wish to pay to upgrade from the 5GB iCloud storage. Am I doing something wrong? It worked so seamlessly on my loaner phone that I am completely stumped as to why it will not restore those items to my original phone again.

The iphone is designed to be synced to your computer or cloud service. Your contacts should be in whatever program/service you have chosen to sync.
If you have failed to do this, then they are likely gone.

Did you set up restrictions for changing account info in Settings/General/Restrictions? If yes, disable them and try again to edit your mail account info.

Double click home button, then swipe up on app picture (not the icon itself)

I used my friend itune to transfer songs to my iphone 4 but when i am using itunes from my laptop i am not able to tranfer songs to iphone.. but from my friends laptop is working.. why and what need to do ?

I would suggest that join your iphone with iTunes and do not sync. Than in your info window of iTunes uncheck auto sync of songs and videos. Check Mark for manual selection of songs. Also uncheck sync of songs window. After this sync your iphone and manually copy your songs from your iphone through itune by opening music under your iphone icon in the left status bar and copy to your laptop music folder. I think it would help out. I did same for myself. Try out. TC

You do NOT have duplicates. This is how Apple handles photos.
Just as a song is in your Itunes Library and that exact same song can be accessed from a playlist, all synced photos are in the Photo Library and those exact same photos can be accessed from the album.

Can iPhone be tracked by the serial number instead of apple id?

can iPhone be tracked by the serial number instead of apple id?

It cannot be tracked by either. It is tracked via Find My iPhone, so long as that was activated before the device came up missing. It has to be powered on and connected to the Internet as well.
