hello,
when you configure the browser options, there is a place where you choose the default browser to take. In the list, there should be the "Hotspot" and also the "WAP/WML" and also the "Internet Browser". BBSingh suggests you to select hotspot as the default browser.

    you may be connected to the wireless network but the question is the internet working properly on the wireless network...
    what i mean is that i can make a wireless network without the internet so i can save and share files and have other devices connected to the same network access them... but you have to make sure that your internet it running properly... may have to reconfigure the router is your using PPPOE or if it was working prior to your post then try to restart your modem... that usually resolves most issues.

  • 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?

    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 my 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.

  • After the firmware upgrade last week, the local WIFI networks pop up when I turn on my phone, I have WIFI turned off, how do I turn off the pop up?

    After the firmware upgrade last week, the local WIFI networks pop up when I turn on my phone, I have WIFI turned off, how do I turn off the pop up?

    What OS X version are you using?
    Can you take a screenshot of the pop-up notification?
    To take a screenshot hold ⌘ Shift 4 to create a selection crosshair. Click and hold while you drag the crosshair over the area you wish to capture and then release the mouse button. You will hear a "camera shutter" sound. This will deposit a screenshot on your Desktop.
    If you can't find it on your Desktop look in your Documents or Downloads folder.
    If you want to attach a screenshot to a response here, click the "camera" icon above the text field:
    This will display a dialog box which enables you to choose the screenshot file (remember it's on your Desktop) and click the Insert Image button.
    ⌘ Shift 4 and then pressing the space bar captures the window the cursor is on.
    ⌘ Shift 3 captures the entire screen.

    for purchases from the iTunes store do this:
    connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
    for everything else check out this post by Zevoneer.

    I have two networks one each in two cities.  Both are named the same but require different passwords. I am at my second location and cannot connect to this wifi network. How do I delet one network so I can connect to my second network?

    Just go to the wireless network preferences and empty out all the stored wireless networks.. then scan and connect to the local wireless.
    Select them and tap the - button below it.
    Once they are emptied out.. it might be good to reboot the computer with the remember networks unchecked.
    Start with a clean slate.

    Apple's customer support can certainly do that, but it is not necessary. AppleCare follows the product, not its owner.

  • Bridge Browser and WiFi Browser Issues???

    Hey everyone,
    I've had my Playbook since day one and I have been having issues that I can't seem to get resolved involving the Brdige Browser and WiFi browser.
    On the Bridge Browser I can't browse to any webpages. I simply get a non-descript "Not Authorized HTTP://whatevertheurlwas.com" error message. Ive tried dozens of pages, reset the bridge, to no avail.
    The other issue is with the WiFi browser. When I try to login to an Exchange 2010 OWA webmail site, I can't click certain check boxes (they arent grayed out, the clcik just wont function). Also - when I try and navigate to a SharePoint 2010 site I get an "Error - A network error has occured" message. It is accessible fine via an iPad, laptop, and desktop computer but not from the Playbook browser.
    Any ideas??

    I spent about 3 hours with Support on this last night.
    Explanation makes sense...could not verify it yet.
    Bridge Browser by default uses "Blackberry Browser" to surf the net. If this option is disabled by BES Admin (assumption here is that you are on BES), you will not be able to surf the net. If you have BIS services also, your Blackberry  handset (assumption here is that you are on OS v6) tries to open a site through "Blackberry Browser" and then defaults through "Internet Browser"...which is why you are probably surf the net through your handset without any issues.
    To verify this, install OS v5 and that gives you the option of picking the browser for your handset. If you get the same message after selecting "BLackberry Browser" on your phone...the above explanation can be confirmed. I am going to try it on my older Blackberry handset with OS v5 over the weekend.
    Solution if the above explanation is verified:
    Running the web browser in work mode
    If the Allow Browser IT policy rule is set to Yes and you configure the BlackBerry® MDS Connection Service to connect a BlackBerry smartphone to the Internet and intranet, a BlackBerry® PlayBook™ tablet that is connected to the smartphone can run the web browser in work mode.
    When the web browser runs in work mode, it does not use the Wi-Fi® connection that it uses when it runs in personal mode. Instead, the web browser can connect to the Internet or your organization's intranet using the smartphone's connection to the BlackBerry MDS Connection Service. The tablet encrypts any cached data that is stored on the tablet using the BlackBerry® Bridge™ work key.
    A BlackBerry PlayBook tablet user can access the web browser in work mode by clicking the browser icon in the BlackBerry Bridge panel on the tablet, or by clicking on a link in a work application. When a user clicks a link in any work application, such as a link in work email messages, work calendar entries, the contact list, tasks, memos, or BlackBerry® Messenger messages, the web browser runs in work mode if any of the following conditions exist:•
    No Wi-Fi connection is available•
    Web address does not contain periods•
    MDS Browser Domains IT policy rule includes the domain of the web address•
    Web address consists of a private IP address as specified in RFC 1918•
    Value of the Wi-Fi Internet Access Path IT policy rule is set to "Access through BlackBerry MDS Connection Service"
    If these conditions do not exist, the web browser runs in personal mode and connects to the Internet using a Wi-Fi connection.
    The web browser cannot run in work mode if it cannot access the BlackBerry MDS Connection Service.

  • I keep getting my browser is no longer supported. how can I upgrade from mac os x 10.6.8

    I keep getting my browser is no longer supported. how can I upgrade from mac os x 10.6.8 . Any help would be appreciated

    Open the Mac App Store and try downloading Yosemite. If you get told it's incompatible, choose About this Mac from the Apple menu, check if the computer has at least a Xeon or Core 2 Duo(not Core Duo) CPU and 2GB of RAM, and if it does, click here and order a download code for Lion 10.7.
    Back up your data and check your applications for compatibility before upgrading. In particular, Mac OS X 10.7 and newer don't support PowerPC programs such as versions of Microsoft Office prior to 2008.
