Connecting to airport hotspot

When I tried to connect to a free airport hotspot which requires going into a browser to click on a certificate, I couldn't access the internet. I couldn't open Safari (IPad). How can I connect to a free hotspot with this requirement? (it functioned without problem with my windows lapotop)

Similar problem but for me it only happens at Tim Horton's WiFI hot spots. Go figure.
I can select the Tim Horton network but the Tim Horton's Hotspot window never opens. When I launch my browser manually no page loads. If I try to go to any page, nothing happens.
I've cleared cache and cookies, restarted laptop, turned Airport on and off and a few other things, Not able to get on the Internet no matter what I do., My iPhone -was- able to connect without issue at Tim Horton's.
This is odd isn't it?
I've tried Safari and Chrome to no avail, I am being given an IP address but get  no further than that, The Tim Horton's join network page never shows up. Nothing.
This has happened to me at 3 different Tim Horton's.
I use my laptop at -countless- hot spots and have -never- had a connection issue... only at Tim Hortons.
I don't know what's going on but something is  not right. It just happened to me this morning. I left Tim Hortons and went to Panera. BOOM. Instantly online.. Same with McDonalds which is right across the street from Panera. I can get on both places. But not Tim Horton's. Any ideas why?

  • Unable to connect at airport hotspots

    Over the last month, I've now been in 3 airports where I was unable to get the public wireless system to recognize my machine and give me a chance to log in. With each (Berlin, Frankfurt, and Seville), the wireless connection was strong (full bars), but when I tried to trigger the probe, it did nothing. In two of these airports (Berlin and Frankfurt) I have never had any problems before. And in those two, I have experienced this problem multiple times. My system connects regularly to a local WLAN, and I am able to connect to some public hotspots (I'm in Madrid now, for example). So I'm wondering: has there been some kind of upgrade in wireless software that is disabling Macs?
    MacBook Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    Perhaps these two airports did something to their network since your last visit.
    Perhaps there's a pamphlet/brochure/sign in those problem airports which you possibly overlooked.
    Something else to try would be to restart the mac as you enter a new wireless network zone (I know...mac people never reboot. Try it.)
    But from the three Berlin websites, there are some specifics (ranges, coverage maps).

       geeeeesar also how does this ipod touch4  pick up the  wifi free of charge is this possible or do you have to pay for limited data to access internet Your iPod can connect to any unsecured WiFi network that you are currently within range of.  These networks can be found at your local library, some city/county government buildings, doctor's offices, Denny's, IHOP, Starbuck's, Home Depot, Lowes, Best Buy, and other merchants.  Your iPod can connect to any secured WiFi network that you are within range of and that you have the password for.

  • Macbook Pro 10.6.8 wont connect to verizon hotspot

    I have a Macbook Pro running 10.6.8
    I cant get it to connect to my Iphone 4S Verizon Hotspot. Other computers will connect to the hotspot so I know the phone part is working.
    I turn on the hotspot, find the network "iphone" in the airport bar, but when I connect it just gives me an exclamation point.
    I tried tethering with bluetooth and usb with no results.
    There is no firewall active and I cant figure out what other network settings might be stopping the connection. The computer was configured to work with my local NAS, so maybe the tech guy did something to the settings regarding that?
    Please help!

  • TS2756 Windows XP SP3 unable to wirelessly connect to personal hotspot?

    iPhone 4s version 6.0.1 + AT&T data plan with tethering
    Mac OSX version 10.7.5
    Windows XP SP3 v 2002 + Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6200 AGN network adapter, driver version 15.2.0.19 6/2012
    Problem: I can use my Mac (today) to wirelessly connect to my iPhone personal hotspot but my Windows computer doesn't see the hotspot in available networks.
    Background:  My personal hotspot would work for a while then drop out.  I upgraded to iOS 6.0.1 Monday morning, and Monday evening a friend with Windows 7 could connect to my hotspot but I could not wirelessly connect the Mac to the hotspot.  I went through all the troubleshooting: restored network settings, closed apps, restarted services, rebooted, verified AT&T still had me on a tethering plan - the only thing that fixed it was a complete restore, however my Windows XP computer still can't see it.  It can see and connect to other networks.  I upgraded the network adapter driver, rebooted, repaired the wireless network connection, released/renewed all ip addresses, and confirmed with Intel that the adapter supports WPA/WPA2.  It can see and connect to other wireless networks.
    This Apple Support KB article says I should be able to use the hotspot via wifi with "A device with Wi-Fi with support for WPA/WPA2 encryption," however the Apple tech support supervisor I spoke with today said the hotspot only works wirelessly with Windows 7 and Vista. 
    Any ideas?  Thanks in advance!

    Hello JMeFX. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    Try the following:
    o If you are running wireless encryption on the Time Capsule (TC) temporarily disable it. Can the PC connect wirelessly now?
    o If the PC is still unable to connect with encryption disabled, try changing the default radio mode from "802.11n (b/g compatible)" to "802.11g only." You can access this mode by holding down the Ctrl key before making the selection in the AirPort Utility.

  • IPhone 5 not connecting to Comcast hotspots

    On my iPhone 5 I can't connect to any xfinity hotspots. I can connect to other wifi hotspots and my home network just fine and my iPad with ios 6 connects to xfinity hotspots with no problems. Has anyone else had this problem and found a solution? Also before ios6 update my iPad could pick up weak wifi signals and now if cant even find them.

    zolala:
    Virgin media is my internet provider, and I have rung them too; They talked me through the router settings, but the iPhone is "unsupported".
    My router settings are correct.
    Can you explain "...are you using Apple Airport Extreme for hm network?..." please?
    raymond73:
    I have an "old Dlink GSL624" and I dug this out, but can't find the factory code for the passphrase (I had to reset to factory default)
    If nothing else works, I'll get onto Virgin media and threaten to move isp unless they send me a new router. I have been with them for - well the days of dial up - well over 10 years probably.
    I am currently restoring the iPhone to its factory default. I will set up as a new phone to test, and IF it works, I'll then restore to backup - If it stops working after this, I'll have to copy all my contacts somehow, and then start from scratch again.
    Any idea how I can copy just my contacts somewhere I can restore them from easily?
    Thanks

  • How do I connect my Airport Extreme to my modem (Cisco Model DPC3010)?

    I am having trouble connecting my Airport Extreme Wireless Base Station to a Cisco Modem (Model DPC3010).  I have used the Airport Extreme for years with other modems with no trouble.  Alas, this time around I can't get it to work.  I think I might not have the cable connected correctly.  Help, please.  Thanks

  • How do I connect my Airport Extreme 802.11n to Epson 645 Printer?

    I can't figure out how to connect my Airport Extreme 802.11n to my Epson 645 Printer.  Can anyone help me?  Thanks!

    You may want to try reinstalling Mavericks. Airport Utility installed by Mavericks may no longer connect to your older AEBS (though I've not heard that.) Installing the Old AirPort Utility (Version 5.6) on Mountain Lion | frank.is.
    Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks
         Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
         COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and
         after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears.
         Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
         Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
         Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
         Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks: Select ReinstallLion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks from
         the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
         Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is
                    three times faster than wireless.

  • How do I connect my airport extreme to windows 8.1

    how do I connect my airport extreme to windows 8.1

    Connect an Ethernet cable between the U-verse router's LAN port to the WAN (circle-of-dots) port on the AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS). Since you will have two routers in series, you will want to reconfigure the AEBS as a bridge. (ref: AirPort Utility > Select the AEBS > Manual Setup > Internet > Internet Connection tab > Connection Sharing = Off (Bridge Mode))

  • How do I connect my airport extreme to wifi as a repeater

    how do I connect my airport extreme to wifi as a repeater?

    Thanks for the info.
    Unfortunately, Apple has designed their routers to only extend or repeat the wireless signal from other Apple routers.
    It would be extremely unlikely that the AirPort Extreme would be able to extend or repeat a wireless signal from another manufacturer's router.
    I suppose that it could not hurt to try, but if the Extreme is still unopened, it might be a better idea to return the Extreme, get the information about the router at the neighbor's and then use a product from the same manufacurer that would be compatible to repeat or extend the wireless.

  • MacBook Pro Cannot Connect To AirPort

    Hey everyone,
    Today I opened up a brand new MacBook Pro to find that it couldn't connect to AirPort. I use a WEB 40/128-bit hex. Is that a problem? I use a D Link router. Every time it comes up with "There was a error joining the network "networkname"."
    Thanks,
    Louis.

    Fixed! You jut need a girlfriend with a lot of determination....not even sure she knows how she did it. Involved a lot of menus and a lot of swearing.
    Surely this should be easier?!

  • Internet connection via Airport Extreme/router thats not working, why?

    I have been having problems with the internet connection via Airport Extreme which I find it a bit unusual and its still driving me nuts! This is what happened:
    I have lost my internet connection last Sunday evening upon my return from a weekend away from home. The last time I have used the internet connection on my macbook was the previous Friday morning. Prior to the apparent disconnection on Sunday, I have always used my internet connection wirelessly through Airport Extreme (that is connected via ethernet cable to the NETGEAR DG834v2 ADSL modem which had worked beautifully until the problem arose on my return). This wireless internet connection allowed me to surf the internet anywhere in my home.
    However, upon the successful re-connection to the internet via the modem router, I have discovered several new problems. I have tried to set up the internet connection wirelessly again but instead the following happened:
    1. Router (Netgear) drops ADSL connection and cannot reconnect when connected to airport via Ethernet. (which is the case when using airport wireless).
    2. Router connects to ADSL fine when computer is connected to it via Ethernet. (However, router disconnects when magsafe power adapter is taken out for some inexplicable reason!)
    3. Router connects to ADSL fine when nothing is connected to the router (ie. No Ethernet connections)
    4. Router connects to ADSL fine when connected to airport via Ethernet and computer is connected to airport via Ethernet.
    So from the above, I cannot connect to the internet properly whether wirelessly or not so I suspect it could be faulty router or could it be airport extreme? I have asked my ISP for an explanation and all they have said is that it cannot be the mis-configuration but could be to do with the power adaptors or the way plugs are set up and suggested I take out all the power plugs (and power surge protector) out to switch everything off, the macbook, router, printer and airport extreme. However, when I have re-plugged them all back in, the problems I have described above still persists!
    Would appreciate any help if anyone here recognises why this is the case and what seems to be the cause of this. If so, what should I do? Though I have written back to my ISP again yesterday for more help so im waiting to hear from them...
    Thanks

  • PPPoE  connection for airport!  please help!!!

    please please if anyone can help me!
    I have a 17` pb . i made an internet connection using PPPoE..... when i connect my cable directly the customer service told me to do the following; make a new location for network/ then in TCP/IP ip adress- 10.0.0.2 then subnet- 255.255.255.0 then router 10.0.0.38 in PPPoE section i have to put user name and password. well thats works fine.
    the problem is when i connect my airport extreme i need to connect the cable to the WAN connection and then i need to put the details but i dont know how to do it!!! where should i put all the above? and where is the user name and password goes? anyway my powerbook is connected to the airport but there is no internet connection/
    please can anyone help me????? please... i`ve been trying everything for a week already///

    Liav,
    I had the same problem and just got it fixed last night. Here's what I have learned so far in dealing with this issue.
    First, Duane's configuration tips are essential (Duane, you are my hero!). I don't know why this info doesn't come with the AEBS or why the guys at the "Genius Bar" don't know this.
    Second, there's probably a cabling issue. My BellSouth DSL uses a fiber optic connection which goes from the wall to the computer (no DSL modem in between). This is essentially a hub. Just like you, Liav, I was getting the eternal "Looking for PPPoE Host" and no connection. The BellSouth tech guy finally figured it out. The connection between the wall-mounted hub and the WAN port of the AEBS needs to be a CROSSOVER cable, not an Ethernet cable (but you should have an Ethernet cable between the LAN port and any hardwired computer).
    While I was talking with the tech guy I replaced the Ethernet cable between the wall and the AEBS with a crossover cable, and WHAM! I got an instant connection, powerful all over the house and on 2 floors at the lowest (automatic) transfer rate setting, no channel changes, nothing fancy. I'd be willing to bet that this might also solve some slow transfer rate problems in other setups as well.
    Change to a crossover cable, do a hard reset on your AEBS and set it up as per Duane's instructions and I predict you will have no further problems.

  • How can I print from my IPAD3 to a printer connected to Airport Express?

    How can I print from my IPAD3 to a printer connected to Airport Express? I have a HP printer and I can print from all my Windows PC and iMAC in the house. How can I print from my IPaD?

    You cannot.
    The USB port on the AirPort Express allow sharing a printer with Windows and Mac OS X, not with iOS:
    "Wireless printing over USB requires a compatible printer and OS X v10.2.7 or later, Windows XP, Windows Vista, or Windows 7":
    http://www.apple.com/airportexpress/#wireless-printing
    "AirPrint-enabled printers  connected using Bluetooth or shared through a USB port of a Mac, PC, AirPort Base Station, or Time Capsule are not supported":
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4356
    The HP ePrint app also does not provide such functionality:
    Can I print from the HP ePrint mobile app using USB or Bluetooth?
    No. You can only print directly to supported HP printers on a local wireless network.
