Can I use "Maps" with WiFi anywhere (in Europe) without incurring data charges?

Hertz offers a mobile WiFi with a rental vehicle, and I'm wondering whether I can use "Maps" through that system? Would I have to ensure network connections are off? Appreciate any expertise on this one.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

You will experience no cost as long as you're on the wifi connection at all times. When I was in europe, my "data while roaming" option was set to off. I wouldn't use any data unless I was connected to a wifi hotspot somewhere, which are quite common in Europe.
To set the data services off while roaming, open up your settings. Go to Network Connections > Mobile Network. You can toggle your mobile network to off if you don't want to use your phone while in Europe or leave it on up to you but for data, use the drop down option and set it to Off. This way it won't use data over any mobile network and so only when using WiFi.

How can I use my iPad and iPhone in Europe without incurring high costs?

How can I use the iPad to communicate in the Netherlands without incurring huge charges?

Depends on how you are planning on communicating. If you use Wif, then no. If you are using cellular data, you would need to discuss this with your carrier. We wouldn't know here.

I-phone 5 - can you reduce the megapixel size of pictures without incurring data charges? I understand if I e-mail my pictures to myself, there is an option to define the pixel size of the pict. What if I upload from phone to computer via cable?

Turn off the cellular function and only use wifi.

Can I use Ipad2 with wifi +3G with an Alltel Motorola MilestoneX 3g hotspot phone?

Alltel is my mobile service provider, and they are now offering the Motorola Milestone X running Android 2.2; this phone can function as a 3G hotspot. If I have an Ipad2 with wifi+3g, and I turn the hotspot functionality of the phone on, can my Ipad then connect to that hotspot signal created by my phone--even though my service is through Alltel and not Verizon or ATT? Alltel charges $20 a month for this functionality on top of my smartphone plan, but it provides unlimited data usage. The fee for 3G Ipad date service for both Verizon and ATT is just a little more, but they have data limits on those plans.
Any assistance/info you can provide will be appreciated!

ok, so the phone creates a wifi signal, not a 3g signal--then the Ipad connects via wifi, not 3G, to the phone-- and then gets data off the 3G network ...that is where I was confused. Data flows from the Alltel 3G signal to the phone, then from the phone's wifi hotspot via a wifi signal to ipad's wifi receiver...
I was not sure if the phone "created" a 3G signal that the Ipad was then supposed to connect to...
Much clearer now...thanks!
So, if this is how I am going to use it, do I even need the Ipad+3G--I really would only need the Ipad2+wifi, correct???

Can you use facetime with wifi only? No SIM card in iphone4

Party A: No SIM Card, in US, calling using WIFI
Party B: SIM Card, in another country, receiving calls, with WIFI
Can Party A and B connect through Facetime?
Thanks for your time.

You can make video calls through skype.I think without sim you cannot use facetime because facetime needs your sim number.
Slight correction: FaceTime on the *iPhone* needs your SIM number. FaceTime on the iPod Touch, iPad and MacOS have no such need.
This is one of the things I hate about Apple. Why not just allow everything to behave the same? Why should FaceTime, a non-cellular application, have to behave differently on the iPhone than on all other platforms?
(I also don't like that Videos lives in the iPod app on the iPhone, but has it's own app on the iPod Touch and iPad)

I have a MacBook Pro. My mac can detect wifi. But will not connect. I did get connected vis TCP/IP settings but I can't connect to any wifi anywhere. Network diagnostic has a green light for wi-fi and wi-fi settings. Red light for the rest.

Hello NotAppleSavy,
Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like the computer wont connect to networks. I see you have used network diagnostic. I would recommend that you read this article, there are a lot of other things you can do in this article that may be able to help you resolve or isolate the issue.

Can I use a combined WiFi and Bluetooth PCI card in my 2GHZ Mac Pro?

Many thanks in advance for your help,

It probably won't work. Some USB PCI cards will work out of the box with OS X even though the manufacturers don't specifically support it. This ad does not list the card manufacturer or chipset so it's very difficult to tell much about it. Furthermore it states that to modify the settings it requires a Windows-based Utility. Unless the seller has a good return policy I wouldn't buy it.

Use safari with wifi

When I use safari with wifi, my ipad always reopen
I do not know what is the problem with ipad?
someone can help me to solve the promblem!!

Update: worked fine with free hilton wfi. Splash/redirect page loaded fine
Then failed to work again, this time with reagan airport wifi. After 30 mins on phone with apple support just mindlessly reading me through the generic support tips i already tried that didnt work, they gave up.
Now at marriott and redirect page worked and free wifi running with no problems.
How is it that i can be sitting next to someone at the airports that also has an ipad2 and they can connect fine and i cant??????? Are there really no solutions available?
And why is the final apple support suggestion from help desk to have the network router admin reset their router? 1) obviously not going to happen at public access points and 2) shouldnt apple design a product that can access these basic wifi interfaces that will commonly be encountered when using wifi without the need for network admin intervention????

My wife and I both have the iPhone 4 and it's actually pretty simple. Add another user on your MBA (her) and she can use the other iTunes when she is logged in. The iTunes is empty and will erase her iPhone, so be sure that she syncs her iPhone, then back up her library onto a portable media device like I did (SD Card) and reload it onto her empty iTunes on your MBA before she attempts to sync with it.
Works well...

I ordered my Macbook Air with Aperture two years ago. I now have an iMac - can I use that with Aperture in any way?

I ordered my Macbook Air with Aperture two years ago. I now have an iMac - can I use that with Aperture in any way? I appreciate that it is a different computer but I am now the end user of both devices and I was just wondering if it was possible.
Thanks,

The answer would be in your software license agreement for Aperture. However if you cannot locate it you can ask in the Aperture forum, the link for that is:
https://discussions.apple.com/community/professional_applications/aperture
However I believe you can have Aperture installed on two machines however only one may be using it at a time.
On the new iMac launch the Mac App Store - Purchased - look for Aperture and download to your new machine.
