3G iPad – You are at the mercy of AT&T

I had a delayed flight out of St. Louis. I travel with my iPad to keep track of personal items. For an hour, I could not connect to the AT&T network (other iPad user had the same experience). I had to purchase a data plan from Boingo. If travel often and can’t count on the AT&T network at an airport – what’s the point? Consider the fact that the AT&T network is poorly rated by actual users (don’t believe their advertisements) before you invest in a 3G iPad. If you spend a lot of time in an airport, you might do better, and cheaper, with the Wi-Fi model and obtain a lower cost Boingo account.

I have AT&T 3G (laptop not ipad) in NYC Metro and poor doesn't begin to describe the service the the last 18 months.
Anyway, you should have been able to log on to the Boingo site without having to purchase a separate access plan.

"AT&T Wi-Fi hotspots will automatically authentic AT&T 3G Data Plan for iPad subscribers as long as they turn on Wi-Fi on the device."
AT&T partners with Boingo, at least in some locations.

And, if that fails, Starbucks is probably close by.

    how to unlock icloud activation if you are not the owner

    Contact AppleCare (or Apple ID Support), upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.
    I'm not exactly sure what procedures are in place for such events but Apple can assist in such cases, but it may take a while and you may need to provide a death certificate and a note from the executor that the iPad has been willed to yourself, along with an original proof of purchase.

  • How to loop with varying values depending on where you are in the loop

    Hi,
    I have need of loops / nested loops that pick different figures depending on where you are in the loop.
    The whole function needs to run through 'ml' times. 'ml' is a dynamic figure.
    Loop 1 = While the loop is within the first 12 iterations, 'exconemp' must equal 100. For iterations 13 - 24, 'exconemp' must equal 102.5, for 25 - 36 it will be 105.06, for 37 - 48 it will be 107.69. This needs to change every 12th iteration until it has reached 'ml'. The calculation takes the value of the previous 'exconemp' and then multiplies that by 0.025.
    Loop 2 = While the loop is within the first 120 iterations, 'abc' must equal 0.015 and any further iterations must use 0.01. This must also work in a way to figure out whether 'ml' is higher or lower than 120 and work accordingly.
    My main issue is this - how do I get the loops to run through as this:
    While the iteration is < 12, do this, THEN take the final figure (12th iteration) and start on 13 - 24, do this THEN etc etc.
    How do I produce a THEN statement? I can get the code to pick up the final values, but not change along the way.
    I think that I may be better creating an array for Loop 1, but I am not entirely convinced of this. I also think it would be better/tidier if I can get 'month 1 total' and 'month 2 total' into the loops, but am not sure on how to do this.
    The values that I need to produce are (only first 36 shown):
    1 - 12 = 125.55, 251.65, 378.31, 505.52, 633.29, 761.63, 890.53, 1019.99, 1150.03, 1280.63, 1411.81, 1543.57
    13 - 24 = 1679.05, 1815.12, 1951.79, 2089.06, 2226.93, 2365.41, 2504.50, 2644.20, 2784.52, 2925.45, 3067.00, 3209.18
    25 - 36 = 3355.19, 3501.85, 3649.15, 3797.11, 3945.71, 4094.96, 4244.87, 4395.44, 4546.68, 4698.57, 4851.14, 5004.38
    var ml = 240 // dynamic figure, multiple of 12 up to 780
    var exconemp;
    var exconem = 100;
    var inf = 0.025;
    var tree;
    var tec;
    var power;
    var fvis;
    var abc;
    var fvee;
    var tfv;
    function myfunction() {
    //Loop 1
    //while (ml <= 12) {
      exconemp = exconem;
    //while (ml > 12) {
    // exconemp = exconem*inf;
    //end Loop 1
      trace("exconemp=", exconemp); // employees contribution
    tree = exconemp/(1-0.2)-exconemp;
    tec = exconemp + tree;
      trace("tree", tree);
      trace("tec", tec);
    power = Math.pow(1+0.07, 1/12);
    //Loop 2
    //while (ml <= 120) {
      abc = 0.015;
    //while {
      //abc = 0.01;
    //end Loop 2
    fvis = power*(1-abc/12);
    trace("fvis=", fvis);
    fvee = tec*fvis;
    trace("fvee=", fvee); // month 1 total
    tfv = (tec+fvee)*fvis;
    trace("tfv=", tfv); // month 2 total
    for (var i:Number = 0; i < ml; i++)
          tfv = (tec+tfv)*fvis;
      trace("tfvloop=", tfv);
    I hope that I have explained this well enough.
    Many thanks in advance.

    How big is your library?  I would recommend the following troubleshooting steps:
    - Backup your library.  Always a good idea before messing with things.  
    - Create a new library.   Refer to this article for details:  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1589.  This won't delete your old library, you're just creating a new empty one.  Also refer to this article to get back to your old library later.
    - Add a few albums into this new library.  Not everything, just a small sampling, as a test.
    - Activate Match on this new library.  You shouldn't have to re-pay, it should just say "Add Computer" or similar.
    - At this point, Match should run again. With just a few albums it should complete in just a few minutes.
    If iTunes doesn't crash at this point, then likely there's something about your original library that Match doesn't like - what that is I don't know, but at least you'll know it's not your PC.   If iTunes still crashes, then if could be a number of other things, but probably not your library.   My next suggestion (if you haven't already done this) is to uninstall / reinstall iTunes.   If that doesn't work, then my next ideas you won't like.   

  • How do you know when you are using the internet?

    If I am using an app that requries internet, and I press the middle button to get out of it am I still using part of my data plan?

    While you are using the app if you are not on WiFi you are using the internet. If the app is one of the few that can run in the background you need to close it to stop it from using your data plan. Double click the home (middle) button, hold down your finger on the app, when you see a red circle with a dashed white line next to the app icon tap it, press the home button.

    You didn't, but you are about the 4th person today who has done this. It just wastes my time, and yours, and gets frustrating after awhile.
    I do believe you have a screen/logicboard issue and while you can try Restoring it from backup in iTunes, and then as a new iPhone if that doesn't work, I don't believe it will help.

  • "You are opening the application"..."for the first time" problem

    Hi -
    We recently upgraded to Mounatin Lion and when opening a couple of different applications (Quickbooks and Vectorworks) we often, but not always, get a warning message saying something like "You are opening the application ____ for the furst time" even though the application has been opened many times before.
    I've seen a few older suggestions in the archives (pre Mountain Lion) that involve opening a Terminal window and entering some lines of code.  Is that my only solution, or is there a file that I can trash or something else?
    Thanks -

    Having this exact same problem - Not just after the upgrade, but began a few months in.
    Hope a solution comes up. Most tips online are from 2006 or 2009.

  • You are using the obsolete 3.x authorizations in BW 7.X.

    Hello gurus,
    After system upgrade of our BW system from 3.5 to SAP Netweaver 7.0, EWA report is alerting the following problem in the system:
    You are using the obsolete 3.x authorizations in BW 7.X. SAP does no longer support this feature.
    Could you please and provide additional details for it and how can we deal with this authorization issue?
    Thanks and regards

    Hi,
    After executing RSEC_MIGRATION, select the reporting authorization objects to be migrated. At the end of the migration run, check for the warings & errors. This should be your base to proceed further.
    Further, identify the InfoAreas, InfoProviders on which the queries are built-on, and InfoObjects which are to be made as authorization relevant.
    Create the analysis authorizations based on these inputs and assign them.
    You can use the below tables to prepare a matrix to understand the Role Vs, Infoarea, infoprovider, object and the queries that are included:
    - AGR_DEFINE
    - AGR_HIER
    - RSRREPDIR
    - RSDCHA
    Hope this information will make the migration a cake walk
    Warm Regards,
    Raghu

  • You are in the correct way

    I think that Extension Builder is the best solution for developing for Adobe products.
    I'm starting with the SDK and I only can see adventages.
    You are in the right way and I only want animate to continue with your labour in this way into Adobe.
