Bridge Over Wifi

Greetings,
The bluetooth on my phone keeps turning off.
The manual says that I can use BlackBerry Bridge over wifi, but it doesn't say how to set it up. How do I enable this?
Thanks,
Shane.

The manual says "When your smartphone and tablet are connected using BlackBerry Bridge, and both devices are connected to the same Wi-Fi network, BlackBerry Bridge apps can exchange information between your devices using Wi-Fi instead of a Bluetooth connection."
What part did I misread?

  • Why does Time Machine not work over wifi but only via ethernet cable ?

    Hi everyone,
    It's been some time I have this problem now.
    The first time I backed up my mac within Time Capsule with time machine, I chose to use the ethernet cable because the gigabit connection is much faster than the wifi for the first back up, but now, any time I want to update this back up, I need to connect the cable, cause "Time Machine can not connect to the Drive I picked" over wifi.
    This is so annoying. Does anyone have a similar issue ?
    Any solution ?
    When I got this "error" I can use Utility Airport and get full access to the drive, even in finder. The only thing that doesn't work is TimeMachine connecting to the drive, even if it is detected by TimeMachine itself.
    Thanks.

    Typical Yosemite.
    I suggest a full reconfigure of the TC.
    Follow this list..
    No files are deleted on the TC doing this although you might have to repoint your laptop to the backup.
    Note.. even if TM does connect it will say it is going to do a new backup.. it is only when it starts that it discovers the backup exists and increments it.
    Start from a factory reset. No files are lost on the hard disk doing this.
    Factory reset universal
    Power off the TC.. ie pull the power cord or power off at the wall.. wait 10sec.. hold in the reset button.. be gentle.. power on again still holding in reset.. and keep holding it in for another 10sec. You may need some help as it is hard to both hold in reset and apply power. It will show success by rapidly blinking the front led. Release the reset.. and wait a couple of min for the TC to reset and come back with factory settings. If the front LED doesn’t blink rapidly you missed it and simply try again. The reset is fairly fragile in these.. press it so you feel it just click and no more.. I have seen people bend the lever or even break it. I use a toothpick as tool.
    N.B. None of your files on the hard disk of the TC are deleted.. this simply clears out the router settings of the TC.
    Setup the TC again.
    Then redo the setup from the computer with Yosemite.
    1. Use very short names.. NOT APPLE RECOMMENDED names. No spaces and pure alphanumerics.
    eg TCgen5 for basestation and and TCwifi wireless name.
    If the issue is wireless use TC24ghz and TC5ghz with fixed channels as this also seems to help stop the nonsense. But this can be tried in the second round. ie plan on a first and second round of changes to fix this.. hopefully.. I will point out other steps that can be round2.
    2. Use all passwords that also comply with 1. but can be a bit longer. ie 8-20 characters mixed case and numbers.. no non-alphanumerics.
    3. If the TC is main router you can skip this point. This is only an issue when the TC is bridged.
    Ensure the TC always takes the same IP address.. you will need to do this on the main router using dhcp reservation.. or a bit more complex setup using static IP in the TC. But this is important.. having IP drift all over the place when Yosemite cannot remember its own name for 5 min after a reboot makes for poor networking.
    4. Check your share name on the computer is not changing.. make sure it also complies with the above.. short no spaces and pure alphanumeric.. but this change will mess up your TM backup.. so be prepared to do a new full backup. Sorry.. keep this one for second round if you want to avoid a new backup.
    5. Mount the TC disk in the computer manually.
    In Finder, Go, Connect to server from the top menu,
    Type in SMB://192.168.0.254 (or whatever the TC ip is which you have now made static. As a router by default it is 10.0.1.1 and I encourage people to stick with that unless you know what you are doing).
    You can use name.. SMB://TCgen5.local where you replace TCgen5 with your TC name.. local is the default domain of the TC and doesn't change.
    However names are not so easy as IP address.. nor as reliable. At least not in Yosemite they aren't. The domain can also be an issue if you are not plugged or wireless directly to the TC.
    6. Make sure IPv6 is set to link-local only in the computer. For example wireless open the network preferences, wireless and advanced / TCP/IP.. and fix the IPv6. to link-local only. Do the same for ethernet if you use it.
    There is a lot more jiggery pokery you can try but the above is a good start.. if you find it still unreliable.. don't be surprised.
    You might need to do some more work on the computer itself. eg Reset the PRAM.. has helped some people. Clean install of the OS is also helpful if you upgrade installed.
    Tell us how you go.
    Someone posted a solution.. See this thread.
    Macbook can't find Time Capsule anymore
    Start from the bottom and work up.. I have a list of good network practice changes but I have avoided Yosemites bug heaven.
    Yosemite has serious DNS bug in the networking application.. here is the lets say more arcane method of fixing it by doing a network transplant from mavericks.

  • Can't wake Lion over wifi (or ethernet) using iPad and home sharing.

    I've upgraded to Lion and everything's fine apart from one problem: using my iPad to access home shared iTunes content on my mac no longer works when my mac is asleep.
    That's a change in behaviour from Snow Leopard; I used to be able to sleep my mac and then wake it over wifi using either my iPad or iPhone to access all of my home shared libraries.  The mac screen used to light up for ten seconds and then go dark again, but it served me the files.
    Lion seems to go into a deeper sleep which it can't be woken from.  If I attempt to wake my mac from my iPad within about ten minutes of putting my mac to sleep then home sharing seems to work and lets me use the home share libraries, but if I leave it any longer than that then the mac seems to fall into a coma and can't be woken.  The weird thing is that I still see a "shared library" folder on my iPad, but when I click on it nothing happens.  I think my Time Capsule is listening for wifi access and issuing the magic packet to the mac, but the mac just ain't listening.  
    I'm using a Time Capsule in bridge mode from an ADSL modem and I've accepted a TC firmware update last week and I'm on lion 10.7.3.  I've tried using Ethernet to connect the mac to the TC (and temporarily disabled the wifi connection) but that still doesn't work.  Also, note I'm NOT suffering from the problem that 10.7.3 seems to be giving a few other people - my mac reconnects to my wifi just fine when I wake it up manually.  For the record, This was an upgrade, so there's still a tick in "wake on network" in power settings and home sharing on iTunes is still configured the same as it was before.
    Does anyone have any suggestions about how I can get home sharing to work when my Lion mac is asleep please?
    Jon

    Jonathan:
    The reworked release of the Combo came available the 2-nd or 3-rd of Feb, if you downloaded 10.7.3 complete after that date it will be OK already, no need to instal the Combo. But you can see the exact number of 10.7.3 in System Information/ Software panel: it should be 11D50b.....
    fzahn:
    I understand, I have TC and Extreme also, no need to set anything. And indeed I understand that it may be important for (as it is for me),
    BUT even if it worked after you replaced the kext, I advise strongly not to read in an old kext over a new one, that may give other issues (you observed one already: Airdrop)... I hope you backed up the Lion one... for example such "replacing" was done in one (lousy) tool called TrimEnabler (to install Trim on a non-Apple SSD in the SnowLeopard OS): it replaced the whole kext. I read that there is a new version for Lion that just replaces the text piece that regards the identification for the Apple SSD's.... I do not dare to use such methods.... I advise to read the kext and compare the two (SL and Lion) and perhaps find a way to just replace the one string that is different (be sure it is precisely the same  lenth in caracters)...  BTW: after every update of Lion you have to do it again probably. Keep searching for a better way to solve your problem.
    Did you do the firmware update of the TC and Extreme already?
    BTW: there are two Airport Utilities for Lion: Airport Utility 5.6 and Airport Utility 6, the 5.6 is the "old" visual but in the new one 6 you can not change as many settings; if you want them both, change the name of the one you already have by putting the version number at the end of its name in Utilities, and install the other one, it will be installed additional not over.

  • Apple TV doesn't recognize computer over WiFi, but does through Ethernet

    Home Sharing from iTunes on my Mac Pro to an Apple TV (2nd Generation) only works if the Apple TV is connected to the router using Ethernet (i.e., hardwired). With WiFi (using the same router), the Apple TV won't detect the Mac Pro library. Everything else works fine over WiFi (e.g., Netflix and movie rentals). I can even control the Apple TV using my iPad when connected via WiFi or Ethernet. The only thing that doesn't work via WiFi is access to a network iTunes library. Any suggestions? The router is in bridge mode (i.e., it is an extension of the router that the Mac Pro is connected to). However, since the hardwire connection works, why wouldn't the WiFi connection work? And why does it work for everything but the network library.

    Thanks for the suggestions. The problem actually solved itself. When I unplugged my Apple TV, the wireless wasn't recognized so I put it to sleep and woke it back up. When it came back on, the wireless recognized my Mac Pro library. If anyone else has trouble, you might try getting the Apple TV to recognize the desktop by using a hardwire. Then restart the Apple TV (or put it to sleep and wake it back up) with the ethernet unplugged and see if it will show up.
    By the way, the bridge mode on my extender isn't a problem. I can hardwire or wireless to the extender router and the IP address on the Apple TV is the same as the host router (i.e., the one that the Apple TV is not plugged into).
    Thanks again.

  • How do I configure Server DHCP for a shared-over-WiFi network connection?

    Hey all,
    Here's how my network is set up-
    Comcast > Modem > DD-Wrt router >(Ethernet)> Mac Mini >(WiFi)> Macbook Pro, other devices.
    I set the router to use the Mac Mini (with OS X Server) as the DHCP server, and I have the Mac Mini sharing the ethernet connection over WiFi.
    The issue is that while my Macbook Pro can get an IP from the Mac Mini (as per DHCP settings), there's no internet connection.  I'm not sure I even have the router IP set correctly, should it be the Mac Mini's IP or the router's IP?

    I would normally use the router as the DHCP server but it should be possible to use your Mac mini as the DHCP server instead.
    With regards to the WiFi, you would want to configure it in bridging mode, this will let WiFi clients and Ethernet clients be on the same subnet and the WiFi clients will then be able to request DHCP addresses from your server on Ethernet. This is the way I have my home network setup.
    In the DHCP settings on your Mac mini server, you need to define the default gateway/router as being the IP address of your router. You also need to define valid DNS server addresses. If you running your own internal DNS server perhaps for Open Directory then this would be your internal DNS server address. The range of IP addresses you are issuing need to match the range being used internally by your router as does the subnet mask.

  • Wireless sync option not available on Itunes 10.5.  After updating my iphone to IOS 5, the "sync over wifi" option is not being displayed in itunes.

    hi, I managed to update both Itunes and my ios to the latest versions (10.5 and 5 respectively).  I'm unable to see the "Sync over wifi" option in itunes.  Can anyone help?

    Maybe that's why I got lucky?  I have 10.7.2.  I have to tell you howeer that I did not check any check box in settings on the Notebook to enable Wifi sync, or in iTunes on the notebook.  I did have options when setting up the iPad and I selected sync with computer rather than back up to cloud.   Maybe that is another difference?  I feel feel fortunate that as I type this my iPad is syncing over wifi and you're all having trouble.
    Just to confirm I have iTunes 10.5  MacOSX 10.7.2 and iOS5 installed on the iPad.  I'm going to dive in and do the phone now too.  I will report any troubles, or pay more careful attention when the iCloud settings and set up come on the screen.  Maybe I did something else I don't remember.

  • Exchange Emails over WiFi

    For the last 3 days or so, I'm not able to get my exchange emails over wifi on my mac and iPhone 5 (mail app). The home wifi is working just fine as i'm able to connect and get all the other mails from gmail and hotmail but when it comes to my exchange account, I get an error 'can't connect due to network error'.
    Although, I'm able to get my exchange emails over cellular data connection both on my mac and iPhone. Please suggest.

    Hi Razmee,
    Thanks for the reply. I've tried that but my IT guys are a nocturnal bunch of grumps. It's not officially a work appliance, therefore not officially their problem. The fact I spend my own dollars to improve my efficiency and contactability is lost on them.

  • Can someone help me with backing up my iphone over wifi then restoring it?

    basically i wanted to download the new ios 8 on my iphone 5c, i did not have enough memory and was unable to get onto a laptop/pc. i went onto settings>icloud>storage&backup>back up over wifi. i enable back up over wifi so when connected to wifi it will automatically back up, anyway after enabling this i pressed back up now and it backed my iphone up. i then started to delete apps and PHOTOS to get enough space, i then was able to get onto a laptop and tried to restore my iphone but it would not let me . it said i had to download ios 8 first then it would restore my device so i tried this and it will not download the new update, i still dont have enough memory to download the update but i do not want to delete more photos if i will be un able to get them back.
    basically if i delete more photos to make enough space for ios 8, and then restore my iphone will i get all of the photos, apps and games i had before i started to delete them (baring in mind i did back up my iphone over wifi)
    please help getting very worried over this, thanks

  • IPad 3 not showing up in iTunes (Win7_64) over WiFi

    I have an iPad 3 I'm trying to sync over my WLAN.  It's running iOS 7.1 and connecting to iTunes 11.2.2.3 on Windows 7 64-bit.  Upon launching iTunes, the device will appear in the left navigation pane after about 10 seconds, and will stay there (greyed out with a spinning progress wheel) for about 15-20 seconds before it disappears.  I am never able to display the status or contents of the device over a wireless connection.
    -USB connections do work and I am able to manage, browse, update and sync the device.
    -I have tried connecting over USB and checking/unchecking the "Sync over WiFi" box.  That has not solved the problem.
    -I have tried establishing custom inbound and outbound Windows Firewall rules to allow all traffic to all programs and ports  from the iPad's internal IP (10.10.10.18 on a /8 network), but that hasn't fixed the problem.
    -AppleMobileDeviceHelper.exe, AppleMobileDeviceService.exe, iCloudServices.exe, iPodService.exe, iTunesHelper.exe, iTunes.exe and mDNSResponder.exe are all running at the time of attempted (and failed) sync.
    -Wireless syncing worked properly while on iOS 5.  Really regretting updating to iOS 7 right now.  Lesson learned, unlikely to ever update again.
    I've tried a number of solutions but as I cannot recall 100% of what I've already tried, I am willing to start at square one to get this resolved.  For what it's worth, I'm a 14-year IT professional so you can talk to me about pinging, firewall rules, subnets (iPad and PC running iTunes are on the same subnet), protocols and ports and I will know what you're talking about.  Hope that helps speed things along.
    Any assistance you can render would be most appreciated.

    Wireless Sync
    To set up Wi-Fi syncing, connect your iOS device to your computer with the included USB cable.
    Click the Device button in the upper-right corner. (If viewing the iTunes Store, click the Library button first.)
    If you don't see your device, choose View > Hide Sidebar.
    In the Summary tab, select "Sync with this [device] over Wi-Fi."
    When the computer and the iOS device are on the same network, the iOS device will appear in iTunes, and you can sync it.
    The iOS device will sync automatically when the following conditions are true:
    The iOS device is charging.
    iTunes is open on the computer.
    The iOS device and the computer are on the same Wi-Fi network.
    While the iOS device is in the left-hand column of iTunes, you can select the content tabs and configure sync options.
    Click Apply or Sync to sync the iOS device.

  • 320N Freezes when trying to transfer data over wifi

    I have the 320N and I am very frusterated.  I would just take it back, but I bought it brand new on Amazon.com, meaning I will have to pay shipping because I threw out the box and the return shipping form for RMA's!  I don't even know if Amazon will take it back without that paperwork, but anyway here's the issue...
    I don't have any N cards yet, but I upgraded to this router because my home internet service is faster than what my older WRT-54g could route.  This new router does route and I can now achieve the rated speeds of my ISP (50/10 mbps). 
    I can transfer large files 6+ GB WIRED between any of the LAN ports on this device.  However if I try to transfer much data over wifi, the router will simply stop working.  The lights on the front work fine, they blink like there is activity, and the power LED is solid, but it won't pass traffic and the wifi SSID dissapears.  I run a constant ping to the router (ping -t 192.168.1.1) and I get <1ms replies.  On my laptop I initiate a download of a 1GB file which is shared in my windows 7 homegroup.  Within a minute or two the constant ping to the router starts timing out.  Internet access to anything (wired or wireless) instantly ceases.  New introduced devices will not grab a DHCP address.  Existing PC's whom already have their DHCP address can talk to each other only if wired.  The wireless transmitter stops broadcasting the network and devices no longer see it on the airwaves.  The only way to fix it is to power cycle it.
    It doesn't even have to be a large file over wifi to transfer.  Just now as I'm typing this post I noticed the constant ping on my other monitor started timing out.  I power cycled the router in time for me to submit this post.  In fact I had to do it three times in the time it took me to write this post.  This is the most frustrating experience I've had with any wifi ap/router, and I play with Cisco gear at work that run real IOS.
    Here's what I tried so far.
    Reset factory defaults by holding in the rear reset button for over 30 seconds.
    I can confirm this resets the defaults as the password and all other settings are back to default.
    I tried WPA2 Personal.  I tried WPA.  Router still freezes.
    I tried it with just the default settings.  Router still freezes.
    I've reset the router numerous times.  Still freezes.
    Power cycle it for more than a minute.  Still freezes.
    Reflash it with Linksys's latest firmware.  Still freezes.
    What do I do next?  I have a feeling it's the same problem as in a lot of the HP Printer firmware boards.  That problem is poor solder joints on the BGA processor connection.  To fix that you put the formatter board in an oven at 400 degrees for 5 to 8 minutes.  After that time you just let it cool to room temperature.  The oven heats the poor solder joints enough so that it reseats and gets a better connection.  There are hundreds of posts of success on this.  I also hear that the solder connection problem exists for many of the older revision Xbox 360 game consoles causing the infamous "Red Ring of Death".
    So do I try to fight with Amazon to take this back and eat the shipping?
    Do I void my warranty, open the device up and put the board in the oven?
    Do I buy another router from a closer store, but then put this one in the box and take it back?
    Do I just cut my losses?
    Do I just use this as a wired router (disable Wifi) and hook up my WRT-54g and make that act as just an access point?
    Thanks for the advice. 
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Ok I've had my replacement 320N for almost 1 full week now, and while at first it was fine, come Sunday it appears to freeze during heavy transfers.  I was streaming an HD movie to the laptop connected to the TV.  3/4ths of the way through the movie it started skipping.  What do you know, the whole network was down.  No internet or anything.  Power cycle the router and everything was back up.  Needless to say, I finished the movie through the wired connection.  The next day I tried copying 8GB of data wirelessly.  The SSID vanished 1/3rd of the way in during the transfer.
    What is wrong with this stuff?  Linksys doesn't make things like they used to.  This 320N is so cheaply made I don't think I could recommend it to anyone.  I might see if I can send this back to Amazon and get a Netgear.

  • I am trying to download iOS 5.1 on my iPhone and iPad. Both times it tries connecting to the software update server and just hangs there. I've tried doing both over wifi and get error message. What do I do?

    I cannot download the ios 5.1. I'v tried doing it through itunes after downloading the latest itunes. It says that my phone and ipad both have new updates and tries to coonect to update software server. That is where it hangs up and just keeps trying to connect but never does. Then when I try to update my devices over wifi, it tries and thens gives me a download failed message after a few minutes. What do I do?

    This has solved loads of people who have this issue and have used an alternate DNS setting.  Below are instructions for both iPhone OTA and on you Mac
    If you are getting the error message "Unable to check for update" when you try an OTA (over the air update)
    Change DNS Servers
    Settings -> Wi-Fi
    Click the blue arrow on your connected network
    Delete everything in DNS and replace it with 208.67.222.222, 208.67.220.220
    Try again
    If this works, you will probably want to remove the WiFi network using "Forget This Network" and then reconnect to it to get your original DNS servers back. Alternatively, make a note of the original DNS servers before deleting them and replace it after you are done.
    If you are getting the error message "Unable to check for update" when you try through iTunes
    On your Mac
    Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, and then click Network.
    Select the network connection service you want to use (such as Wi-Fi or Ethernet, unless you named it something else) from the list, and then click Advanced.
    Click DNS, and then click Add at the bottom of the DNS Servers list. Enter the IPv4 address for the DNS server.
    You can use OpenDNS
    208.67.222.222
    208.67.220.220
    or
    You can Google Public DNS if you want
    8.8.8.8
    8.8.4.4
    I have actually repointed my routers DNS so all my devices now point to OpenDNS servers

  • Does BIS over wifi depend on type of BIS Plan???

    Hi all
    few days back i bought my first BB ( Curve 8520) & activated BSNL (India) BIS LITE Plan (unlimited e-mail access only, no browser, no social networks etc. ) which is perfect for my needs.
    My  problem is i can't get BIS data services over wifi - white dash indication instead of green check in front of wifi connection option, no e-mail over wifi, only browsing is possible.  As my office is basement where GSM Signal aren't available, I am badly in need of BIS over Wifi.
    I tried very thing given in the various forms from device wipe, wifi diagnostics, bb ip pinging, telneting, HRT WIFI 60 registration to hard reset etc. many times  & also did talked to Customer Care a lot  but couldn't get my problem solved.
    After all communications BSNL Customer Care finally told me that I can access BIS Services Over Wifi only if I take BIS Unlimited Plan (which is 3 times costlier than my current one & quite unnecessary for my needs) & with my current Plan I can't access BIS over wifi.
    This makes no sense,  basically I don't believe this, never read or heard anywhere. BB document mentioned below regarding accessing blackberry data services through wifi doesn't mention any caveat like this!!!!!
    h t t p ://uk.blackberry.com/ataglance/networks/Accessing_BlackBerry_Data_Services_Via_Wi-Fi.pdf
    please confirm is it so?

    Solved!

    Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
    The carriers indeed each do control the services that they provide under different data plans. Further, at the bottom of page 6 of the document you cited, it states:
    Check with your wireless service provider for supported services and features. Not all Blackberry data plans support Wi-Fi access to BlackBerry data services.
    Hence, it sounds like your carrier does not provide, under the plan you have, access to the BIS infrastructure via WiFi.
    Best!

    can i text international from one iphone to another iphone over wifi with other friends that have iPhones
    who will be with us overseas?

    Yes, if you are provisioned by your carrier to do so.  IF both phones are iphones with IOS 5.0 or higher then you can use imessage.

  • I cant download apps throgh wifi on my iphone however when i connect to cellular data it starts downloading. then what is wrong over wifi , i tried reset network setting but i didnt help

    i cant download apps throgh wifi on my iphone however when i connect to cellular data it starts downloading. then what is wrong over wifi , i tried reset network setting but i didnt help

    Definitely sounds like an issue with your Wi-Fi network. Do any other devices on the network have similar issues? Is it an issue only with downloading apps? You can check by trying to load a website in Safari.
    I would try turning your Wi-Fi router off for 1 minute, and back on again.
    After doing that, disconnect and re-join the Wi-Fi network on your iPhone and try downloading an app again.

  • Is there any way to move a file or something from one computer to another that will let the new computer backup my iphone over wifi? I don't want to have to sync my phone to the new computer (my sons computer).

    Hi,
    I have my iphone 3GS setup to be able to backup and sync with my computer over wifi. But I want to be able to backup to my sons computer also.
    The things is I don't want to have to sync to his computer first to do this. Is there a file or something I can move from my computer that is setup to his that would let his see my iphone over wifi?

    If you don't have access to the old computer any longer, '''no'''. Unless you were using something like the Google Toolbar & Google Bookmarks or Xmarks, which would have your bookmarks in an online account that you could access. Firefox doesn't include an online storage feature for personal data, yet. That is coming in a future version.
    If you have a friend at your old job maybe they have access to that old PC and they could export your bookmarks to a file and email that file to you.
