Can apple TV link up to BT WIFI/FON/Openzone?
Wondered if anyone can clear up this wee query.
When using my mac and am connected to BT WIFI-FON I am able to open Safari, be taken to the bt homepage and can sign into my BT account from there.
When using apple TV, it can pick up the BT signal and i can connect to it but I can find no way of browsing the homepage to login to my BT account or have any other option.
So the apple TV ends up being connected to BT only to the extent of username/password level.
Any thoughts?
Any help apprecitated,
Thanks
Welcome to the Apple community.
Unfortunately if you need to use a web page to log on to the Wi-Fi network then you will be unable to use the Apple TV. The Apple TV does not have a web browser.

Please, can Apple actually link Reminders, Contacts, and Calendar?
I want to be able to create a Reminder to "Call Adam Smith" and have it link to the Contact card for Adam in my Contacts app.
Similarly, an event on my Calendar should be able to have associated Reminder tasks for prerequisite tasks (for meetings, etc), as well as associaed contacts other than invitees. (I may have a meeting about a certain client, but not with them, so they don't need an invitiation, but I still need their contact info easily accessible with the event info.)
Apple, you are SO close with these three great apps, and I love how they sync across two Macs and two iOS devices that I use. Could we please just close the loop and connect them, so I don't have to try to duct-tape a solution with third-party apps (which always seem to screw up a sync somewhere)?Happily millions of others have no problems, and you have not explained what your problem actually is, or any other details for that matter.
Is this a request for tech support, or just a complaint?

Now trying to use Mavericks in 2014 no syncing is functional amongst these. Existing Reminders should be deleted? Bunkum. Poor implemetation and design again. I use this very infrequently but when I do it IS importtant they work.
Sadly I spend as much time trying to confirm the event settings as I do performing each event. -
Bt Wifi/Fon/Openzone/Roaming clarification
Hi All,
I just recently got Infinity 2 and HH3 and I want to clarify how the free Bt Wifi works that I get as part of my subscription.
Ther terminology and wording seems a bit different in various places so I wanted to check if someone here can give an official answer.
I undertsand there are 3 types of BT Wifi points:
1) HomeHubs sharing as FON
2) "proper" hotspots in some commercial properties (BTOpenzone)
3) Roaming Wifi partners/companies. (UK ones and abroad?)
I am only interested in using 2) & 3) Can I turn off the Fon on my HH and achieve that without paying any more money?
Also my HH seems to be transmitting 2 seperate SSIDs "BTWifi" and "BTWifi-with-Fon". What sort of people can connect to these and why is there 2?
Finally, assuming I can still keep wifi and turn off FON, what is the easiest way to connect to roaming hotspots (probably in EU) form other companies? Using the BT app for your smart phone? I guess if I connect to an BT prefixed SSID once and save details that is fine for all other UK based spots with same SSID, but I guess foreign partners will have different SSIDs?

There is an allowable cheat if you want to use the free service but don't want others using your broadband via BT-Fon. You can replace the HomeHub with a different router that does not support BT-Fon. Always strikes me as slightly anti-social, but ...
I doubt anyone has ever used my Broadband via Fon other than me in a test. I've certainly never seen any impact. I have heard that the download a BT-Fon user can use is quite limited, but that in theory they can use lots of upload.
using another router to receive your broadband is not a cheat just in many cases including my own a better way to improve my connection and maintain a stable line. I get the benefit of BTWIFI when out and about but I do not benfit like many that use there own BTWIFI connection if they are about to exceed their usage limit
Both are acceptable and are not a cheat
you cannot connect to openzone when outside the UK with your free BTFON

Nokia E5 - Automatic Connection to BT Wifi / Fon /...
I have a Nokia E5.
I often connect to the internet on it using BT Wifi / Fon / Openzone connections. These require me to enter login and password details into a webpage and submit every time.
Is there a way I can configure a connection to automatically log me in when in a connection zone?
// Have tried Menu > Control Panel > Settings > Connection > Destinations and adding a new access point then configuring manually EAP plug-in settings. I think this should work if I knew what the right settings were and had / knew which was the appropriate authority certificate //
Has anyone managed to get this working with bt wifi?Good question. Difficult to answer. I tried hard and could not find any EAP support in the UK, one-and-a-half years ago.
Ask one of your acquaintances with an Android device to install the free Wifi Analyzer. Within that tool, please, go to Settings (wrench icon) » Show full securities and tick that. Then go back and have a look at your Wi-Fis. If its states [WPA2-EAP-CCMP][ESS], you have found a base station (ESS) which does EAP in WPA2 with AES/CCMP encryption.
Unfortunately this way, you cannot determine which outer EAP tunnel type and which inner EAP tunnel type is/are used. Therefore, have a look at the documentation of the provider of that base station. There are rumors FON does EAP-SIM, however, I have not found a single spot, yet.
Beside EAP, sometimes it is possible to dissamble the HTML form and create a hyperlink (URL) which contains the paramaters already. If you use that URL as default page, you are logged in automatically. Again, I never tried to made up such a URL myself and did not find one either.
Nevertheless for FON, they provided the FON WiFi Connection Manager for Nokia Phones. However, I never used it. Devicescape’s Easy Wi-Fi in version 3? -
Can two Apple IDs be linked so that they can share data? My iMac and iPad have the same Apple ID and sync contacts, bookmarks, etc. My wife's iPad has a different Apple ID. Can it be linked somehow to mine to share contacts etc?
No. You cannot link your contacts to hers. However, you can use Home Sharing to share the information:

Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

If I have an apple ID for myself and my wife has just got a iPhone for the first time how can she get the same apps as I have for my iPhone and iPad by getting it off my iCloud?
She can't from iCloud without setting up your iCloud account on her phone. But just sync the same apps from your iTunes Library on your computer to her phone.
Your wife should setup her own iCloud account - which is separate to the iTunes Store accounts. -
Can I sync my iPhone and my wife's iPhone calenders through the same iCloud account? Or do I need to set up 2 different apple id's and iCloud's
No, I would recommed to use two separate iCloud accounts for mail, calendars, notes, reminders, contacts etc.

So disappointed with IOS 6. I'm having weak wifi connection since upgrading to it. Can Apple do something about it? Can you at least reset it to IOS 5.1.1?
Sorry Jim for the wrong question because I'm getting frustated with my IPAD since I can't use it for surfing internet with a faster speed. Ipad was very convenient to use until this IOS 6 upgrade. Tried all the suggestions in the forums but still gets back to weak wifi connection.

- If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
iCloud: Find My iPhone
- You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
- If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
- Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
- There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it unless you had iOS 7 on the device. With iOS 7, one has to enter the Apple ID and password to restore the device.

Can I use ipod touch 5th to mirror my screen on Apple TV via Airplay with out wifi connection?
Can I use ipod touch 5th to mirror my screen on Apple TV via Airplay with out wifi connection?
Welcome to the Apple Community.
Peer-to-peer AirPlay
With peer-to-peer AirPlay, your iOS device and Apple TV don't need to be on the same Wi-Fi network. If you have one of these products, you can use peer-to-peer AirPlay:
* iPhone 5 or later, iPad (3rd generation or later), iPad mini, or iPod touch (5th generation) using iOS 8 or later.
* Apple TV (3rd generation rev A, model A1469 or later) with Apple TV software 7.0 or later. Find out which Apple TV model you have.
To use peer-to-peer AirPlay, your iOS device needs to have both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth turned on. -
my apple tv is disconnected from the wifi intermittently, the problem is not the wifi as it only happens to the apple tv. that I can do to fix this problem.-
That doesn't rule out a network issue, as it can impact devices differently. Intermittent issues are most often related to wifi issues. Try connecting via ethernet. Go to istumbler, netstumbler or similar to get a report of the network, look for signal strength and noise.

Can I Share music from iPhone to wife's iPod we both have different Apple ids, and if I do share music will all my photos be shared too?
Depends on what the source of the music is (iTunes purchases, ripped CDs, etc.), and whether you are syncing to iTunes on a computer. As for simply sharing music directly from the iPhone to the iPod, no, you cannot.
