I can not get my wi-fi to work away from home. what security do i need to use confused

i don't understand wi-fi

Go to Settings>Wi-Fi.  At the bottom, make sure the "Ask to Join Networks" is ON.  When you are out and about, any network the iPad sees will be shown and it will ask you if you want to "Join" it.  If it is unsecure/free you tell it yes and you should connect.  However, if there is a little padlock looking icon shown with the network name, it means that it is a secure network and you need a password to join.  If you don't know it, you can't join.  At most Starbucks and such, the Wi-Fi is free and you should be able to simply connect.  Not really that hard.  There are not security settings on your iPad to adjust.  You'll figure it out.
Best.

  • How can I get my iPhone 4 repaired while away from home?

    I will be working in Manila in the Philippines for the next few months.
    My iPhone 4 has developed a hardware fault and needs to be repaired. It is out of warranty, but I am willing to pay for the cost of the repair myself. The Apple Authorized Service Providers here inform me that the only organizations who carry out repairs are the two official iPhone distributors in the country. Unfortunately, neither of these companies are willing to repair my iPhone because it was not purchased from them.
    I am told that I will have to fly back to the country I originally purchased the unit from to have the work carried out there.
    People travel and work all around the world these days. Do Apple really expect their customers to fly to a different country just to get their phone
    repaired? How is someone travelling on a business trip supposed to manage without his phone if it develops a fault while he is away from
    home?
    Does anyone know a way I can get my iPhone fixed while I am here?
    Chris

    As I explained, I'm not asking for Apple to provide warranty support. I'm quite willing to pay for the cost myself. The problem is that none of the authorized Apple service centers are willing to accept the unit for repair because it wasn't purchased from them.
    Its quite shameful that Apple permits its official support organizations to behave in this way. Someone working away from home should be able to get their phone repaired if it develops a fault. These things are not toys for many of us. A lot of people depend on them to carry out their business.

  • Do not get AirPlay icon on iPad when away from home network

    I brought my Apple TV, iPad, and iPhone to a hotel with me.  Although they are all connected to the same wi-if network at the hotel, I do it see the AirPlay icon on either device.  How can I mirror my iPad to Apple TV using AirPlay when I am away from my home network? I am attempting to watch a movie that for some reason is not showing up in my purchased movies to watch directly via Apple TV, but is on my iPad.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
    Check AirPlay is turned on on the Apple TV (turn it off and on if it already is)
    Check that both devices are on the same network (Settings > Wifi, on the mobile device and Settings > General > Network, on the Apple TV).
    Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
    Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
    Restart your router. (Also try removing it’s power cord for at least 30 seconds)
    Restart your mobile device.

  • I can not get like music players to work on my computer it says that i need windows media player plugin and well i got it didnt work what else can i do!

    i have gotten the plugin that my computer says i need and when i do it still dont work what do i do its says i need windows media player plugin and i try over and over to get it!
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened

    Hi Lindsay.
    The [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Windows_Media_Player MozillaZine "Windows Media Player" KB doc] explains installation and troubleshooting in-depth including a link to test the plugin, which should help you solve this problem.
    Do note - if your Windows 7 OS is a 64-bit version, make sure that the plugin actually ends up in the Mozilla Firefox plugin folder (default '''C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\plugins\'''). There are reports of the plugin (or actually Firefox) ending up in the wrong folder. 64-bit Windows systems has 2 Program Folder locations - "Program Files" for 64-bit applications, and "Program Files (x86)" for 32-bit applications.
    Also note that the Windows Media Player is required to use the plugin - if WMP has been uninstalled from the Windows Control Panel, the plugin will not work.
    Please let us know how above works out, and if we can be of further assistance. Detailed feedback is appreciated and helps us to help you better, plus enables us to better help more users with similar problems.

    I can not get my ipod classic to transfer photos from my ipod to my pc

    You need a third-party program like the paid PhoneView or TouchCopy. The free iFunBox may work.
    BTW this is the iPod touch forum.

  • Can not get Text-to-Speech to work

    I can not get Text-to-Speech to work. In "Settings", I can go into "Voice input & output", then to "Voice Output; Text-to-speech settings" and then to "Install voice data; Install the voice data required for speech synthesis" but it is "grayed out". I have downloaded Pico TTS several times and I have soft-reset and hard-reset the device several times. Still no text-to-speech
    Any thoughts on what I can do to get text to speech to work?

    Odd.... I tried both Vlingo and Handcent and neither of those did Text to speech either. Very odd. I am using same Bluetooth headset that worked on my other HTC device.
    Any other thoughts?
    Did you activate InCar in Vlingo?  I just checked this and it works for me.  Once you activate InCar, you should hear "Vlingo InCar".
    If Vlingo InCar doesn't work for you, have you considered getting another Bluetooth headset that has the ability to read texts to you, like the Blueant Q2?

  • I can not get Premiere Elements 11 to work on my Windows 7 , proffessional computer.

    I can not get Premiere Elements 11 to work on my Windows 7 , proffessional computer.

    goldstein
    Please define what you mean by
    I can not get Premiere Elements 11 to work on my Windows 7 , proffessional computer.
    Can you not install the program? If you cannot, how are you installing it, from an installation disc or installation files from Adobe? Are you looking at the tryout or a purchased product? At what stage of the installation are you blocked and with what messages? Do you have the anti-virus and firewalls turned off? Do you have another other computer protective software installed such as NetNanny?
    If you are getting through the installation OK, are you able to Sign In after the installation and restart of the computer?
    If you get into the opened project, when does the problem first manifest itself? Is the problem in a new project or in an existing one?
    Is the problem in one of the editing features?
    Is the problem in one of the export choices?
    Other?
    The answers will be in the details which allow us to help you.
    Thanks.
