Another iphone wifi question
I set up my iphone to connect over wifi. It won't connect to youtube or the internet except for Google. I can update weather and access the router settings through the phone. It will still connect over edge. Any solutions to this problem?
I found the answer in another post. I have a Belkin router and this is what I did and got it to work:
Now go to the WiFi settings in your iPhone and under your network press "Static."
In the IP address put 192.168.2.50
The Subnet Mask should read 255.255.255.0
The Router should read 192.168.2.1
In the DNS put 4.2.2.2
Thanks for replying.

Yet another iPhone WiFi thread - cannot connect to some OPEN networks
I make no apologies in starting another thread about iPhone WiFi connectivity. Judging by the number of references to WiFi issues in this forum, as well as on the Internet generally, this is a big issue with many users and yet there seems very little acknowledgement by Apple that there is problem.
In my case I have a first generation iPhone which works well on most WiFi networks, both open and closed, including my secured network at home, but cannot connect properly with some open networks. I have had this problem while using 1.0, 2.0 and 2.1 firmware.
Sometimes I get the "Cannot Connect ..." message and sometimes I am able to connect and obtain a good signal and see an IP Address and a Subnet mask, but no Router or DNS address.
I'll repeat that I talking about open networks, so there is no password issue. In one local cafe, I am unable to connect to a network that I used to be able to connect to routinely. I have talked to the owner, who is another Mac and iPhone user and he assures me that he has not changed any router settings.
Can anyone offer any suggestions beyond the usual re-setting and re-booting options? Is there something about iPhone MAC addresses or the WiFi signal that certain routers don't like?
SimonThis is not a solution to your problems but:
1- Expecting someone from Apple to respond here is a vain hope. This is a discussion forum for users and you can only expect responses from users. Talk to Apple tech support if you want a response from them.
2- I saw an item on an iPhone blog page somewhere yesterday saying that Apple was now replacing iPhones with this issue if you took it to an Apple store. Don't know if it's true but it also had a workaround that you could use for your own home network if you were having problems—and I am—and that workaround basically worked for me.
I turned wi-fi off on the phone and opened Airport Utility on my iMac. I turned wi-fi security OFF and then tried to connect. I actually got a connection straight away, and I noted down the IP addresses and subnet mask data from the DHCP screen in the iPhone's wi-fi network info screen. I then restored wi-fi security on my iMac. Of course that restarts the router and I lost my connection and when it started up again, the IP addresses had changed but the subnet mask had not. I swapped to the Static screen instead of the DHCP screen and edited all 3 IP addresses. That got me my connection back and it has continued to work throughout today. That's the best result I've had so far.
It seems to me that my iPhone has problems picking up the network data from my home network and I don't know why that is. I was at a friend's last night and tried to connect to his system and it connected straight away. I assume there's something about my settings which is problematic but I don't know what it is but at least now I have a workaround.
It's possible that something similar is going on for you with the public networks you're having problems with but, unfortunately, the workaround I tried won't work for you in a public network so that's probably not much help.
You could try taking your phone to an Apple Store and seeing if they exchange it. The blog I read suggested the magic words were "hardware problem". In my case I don't think it's a hardware problem but it may be in yours. -
Another iPhone bumper question. Please look!!!
Right I'm afraid this is yet another iPhone bumper complaint. But I need some additional help or support.
Right I brought my iPhone 4 last august and has just expired it's warranty, I do not have any additional cover plans either. In late august 2010 I signed up for my free iPhone bumper to help improve my signal issues. I have recently taken off my bumper to discover my steel antenna band unfortunately scratched quite bad. I've inspected the bumper inside and I've seen like a small peice of rough plastic sticking out and a scratch Mark in the same position on the iPhones band, and there are other scratches from the case too.
Now I would like to know if I could get my antenna band replaced by apple? Free or at a cost? Also does anybody know of an email address I can use to contact apple or the correct phone number as I cannot make sense of their 'contact me' section on their website, I'm from the UK. An email would be preferred if possible. I have also seen on some discussions that people have had their iPhones replaced weather apple still do this I don't know? So any feedback would be so greatly appreciated as I'm disappointed my phone now looks like this as i will be looking to upgrade to the new iPhone and sell this one.
Thanks in advance
AlexAll cases scratch all iPhones, from the Original to the iPhone 4. This is a side-effect of the overall protection they provide. Dust dirt and debris get inside the case and cause abbrasions, there is really no way to avoid this, cleaning helps but can't stop every bit of wear.
Put the bumper back on your iPhone, it will protect it, and make it look nice. -
Another iPhone disabled question :-/
Hi All,
So I have disbled my iPhone 4s by forgetting my passcode (like it seems many other people do!). Also as the phone went dead as I was away for the weekend the SIM is also locked. I have often backed it up to iCloud but I never had the camera roll back up option ticked as I cannot see it when I sign into iCloud. I dont have iTunes on my laptop or access to the original iTunes where it was synced a year and a half ago.
My question is can I get the phone unlocked by Apple? ( I have the IMEI number and proof of purchase) Is there any way of keeping or getting my photos/videos and messages? When I had my phone plugged into the laptop and was clicking backup through wifi will this have also backed up my photos?
Thanks!The phone is not locked, it is disabled.
Connect it to any computer with iTunes installed and restore as new.
Then restore from the iCloud backup.
The picture roll is gone as you've chosen to not back it up. -
just bought and hooked up a linksys 2500 to Imac (10.6.8 OS) via comcast cable connection. everything seems to work, and i can get wifi on the imac, but i can only access wifi on my iPhone if the computer is turned on. if the computer's off, can't get wifi on iphone. is this the way it's supposed to work? thanks.
Well check the wireless settings on the router:
A] With the help of Cisco Connect Software (if at all you have installed the router with the help of this software)
1] Open the software and go to the option which says "Router Settings"
2] Then click on the option which says "Advanced Settings" which will take you to the router's configuration page.
3] Then go to the Wireless tab, keep network mode as mixed,
For Channel Settings of 2.4 GHz you can make Channel Width to 20 MHz only and Channel to 6, 9, 11..
For Channel Settings of 5 GHz you can make Channel Width to 20 MHz only and Channel to 40 or 161...
4] Lower the MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit) from 1500 to 1400 or less (usually found on your routers main/ basic setup page)
B] If you haven't installed Cisco Connect then you can log on to the router's user interface using it's default IP address in the browser which is 192.168.1.1 and type in 'admin' as the password leaving the username field blank. This will take you to the router's web interface and then follow steps as mentioned above to make the changes. -
Im interested in buying an iphone but really can't afford the service right now. i was wondering if its possible to use the wi-fi capabilities and the ipod aspect of it without paying for the service like the ipod touch. Id rather do this then buy the touch because eventually i will be able to afford the service and having both the touch and the phone seems a little too much. thanks!
Sorry, you cannot do anything with the phone until it gets activated which means paying for a plan.
Quote from Apple site (when looking at plans)
Minimum new 2-year wireless service plan and activation fee required to activate iPhone features, including iPod; plans are subject to AT&T credit approval

after my recent paranoia of someone having personal photos of mine because I think they have hacked into my phone, I was reading an article that was card 2011 and it was for this spy software that you don't need to have access to the phone to hack it that the hacker installs it their phone and they call the phone number they want to hack and bam bam it's done. Is this true or had the recent iOS updates dating back two years ago to now have fixed this?
No, that cannot be done unless your iPhone is hacked/jailbroken.

Another iPhone 5 question. Apple store upgrade.
Hello,
I currently have several unused upgrades on my Verizon account, I’m going to be buying an iphone 5 at an apple store on launch day. I’ve never purchased from any store other than a Verizon store before. I was just wondering if I might encounter any difficulties upgrading my phone at their store, I realize I'll no longer have my unlimited data grandfathered over. I was just wondering if anyone knows how the process works at the Apple store if I'm eligible for an upgrade.
thanks.You will not encounter any issues. Just make sure that your bill is up to date prior to going into the store.

Another iPhone upgrade question.
Does anyone know if they are allowing people to transfer upgrades betweens lines to pre order the iPhone on Feb 3? My line isn't eligible, but a different line on my plan is. I don't want to have to upgrade with that line and then transfer the phone. I want to be able to transfer the upgrade like I have done in the past. Has anyone heard if this will be able to be done?
If you read the threads and Verizon's own pre-release publicity, it is NOT possible to do an alternate upgrade for pre-orders on the the 3rd. ONLY lines eligible for an upgrade or those paying full price will be able to pre-order on the 3rd.
Options are to pre-order on the 3rd (if you must), activate on the eligible line and swap it out, or wait until the 10th when it is officially released and then order using an alternate upgrade.... -

my iphone will no longer connect to my home wifi. it recognises it, but the searching cirlce is constant next to network name. there are three laptops and another iphone on the same wifi that have no connectivity issues. i have reset the network settings but that did not help. the issue started last week when the second iphone was introduced to the house, could this be the cause?
No.
Any problem connecting your iPhone to any other wi-fi network besides your own? -
My iPhone Wifi is greyed out.
In Uruguay in Cellular Center (+598 2 903 3333) that is where I buyed it told me it has no solution, it´s a problem of hardware accepted by Apple, that Apple change the phone in this cases, but that they can´t change it by another new one because their warrantee is 3 months and I bought in december, 2012. It cost me US$ 1,250 and I want a solution because I saw in the Apple web that iPhone warrantee is 1 year and I am still covered by it.
I have the invoice dated December 24, 2012.
Do you have any solution to my problem?
It is hard to believe that a so expensive iPhone has a life of 6 months.
Do I need to take my iPhone to anywhere they can solve its problem?

When I send an iMessage from my iPhone to another iPhone that is currently not on WiFi and using a cell connection, does my message show up as blue or green?

Your message on your screen shows up blue if sent as iMessage or green if sent as regular text. If not connected to wi-fi or cellular data, iMessage isn't available to/from. Both of you need a data connection for iMessage to work.
But your message on the recipient's screen will show up white. -
I'm sending an iMessage from my iPhone to another iPhone but the recipient phone does not receive message because not on wifi. Why does recipient iPhone not automatically receive in text messaging?
Wi-Fi is not required for iMessage. Internet access is required for iMessage which includes when the iPhone is connected to the cellular network.
If an iMessage cannot be sent, it will fail to send and you will be prompted to send as an SMS if text only.
