Connecting towifi other than at home

hi hope you can help. I can connect to the wifi at home with no problems but i cannot get a coonection to any others including bt open zone and other unlocked wifi. the ipod touch says i am connected but then does not allow me to access internet. can anyone point me in the right direction please?

Many free WiFi spots also have a login page that you must complete before you are allowed access. Basically, you agree to their terms and conditions of use.
When trying out a free spot, tap WiFi and then tap the name of the network the touch has found. After the connected message, wait for 10-20 seconds more. If there is a login page, you will see a Safari-like page pop up that you can use to agree to the terms of use. OK that and you should have access.

Can I do a back up on a machine other than my home pc?

Hey all.
I have a faulty iphone and have an appointment to take it into the apple store this evening, but I forgot to do my backup last night.
Is it possible to do my backup on a machine other than my home pc?
I can do one on my mac here at work, but not really sure if its possible to do a back if its not on the machine with all my apps and music.
Reason being is that if they replace my phone in the store tonight, I would like to be able to reinstall the backup to put my new phone back to the same content thats on my current/old phone (ie. contact numbers, music and app settings and all that stuff)
Cheers

Is it possible to do my backup on a machine other than my home pc?
Yes. But make sure you disable auto sync when an ipod/iphone is connected under preferences in itunes(under the edit menu in windows) BEFORE you do so. Then simply connect your phone, right click in the device pane & select backup. When finished, eject your phone, DO NOT SYNC!
Itunes places the backups here:
* Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
* Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
* Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
You'll want to copy that folder to its proper location on the computer you normally sync with because after you restore from backup, you MUST sync to restore your itunes content.

HT1386 Can I download an mp3 to my iPhone from a PC other than my home pc?

Can I download an mp3 to my iPhone from a PC other than my home pc?

No. You can only sync or manually manage music and other media with one iTunes library at a time. If you attempt to add music from another library, all media on your phone will have to be erased first.

Sql server 2000 connect with other than jdbc?

Is there any other way to connect to a Sql Server 2000 database other than with jdbc? My problem actually resides in the fact that I did a small program to test the connection to the database and it works perfectly on my computer but on the server that it's going to stay on, it doesn't.
the program is classic:
try{
     DriverManager.registerDriver(new com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver());
     Connection connection = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver://12.345.67.890\ \INSTANCENAME:1433;databaseName=NAME;selectMethod=cursor;","user","pass");
if (connection != null) {
     System.out.println("Successfully connected");
this small program works ok on my computer(win xp, tomcat 6) but on the other computer(ubuntu, tomcat 5.2) says
Exceptionjava.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][SQLServer 2000 Driver for JDBC]The requested instance is either invalid or not running.
I pinged the ip(12.3...) from the server and it works. So I can't figure out what could cause the error. I tried 20 different connection string and don't work. I'm thinking it might have to do with using MS jdbc drivers on a unix platform? or maybe it's from the server firewall(it's a virtual server), anybody can confirm if they had similar problem? Since I can't figure out the problem, I'm trying to test connection using something else than jdbc but google didn't help much
thanks in advance!

Obviously.

I'm thinking it might have to do with using MS jdbc drivers on a unix platform? Why would that matter if you're using type IV 100% Java JDBC drivers?
or maybe it's from the server firewall(it's a virtual server), anybody can confirm if they had similar problem? If you can ping it successfully, how can it be a firewall issue?
You're doing something else wrong.

Difficulty in connecting to Wi-Fi in areas other than my home

My husband and I both have an iTouch. When we are in public areas,sitting next to each other, his iTouch immediately accesses the business's wi-fi - mine doesn't. (Both of us have 4.3, but I have 4.3.1 which I recently downloaded. He has 3G iTouch, I have 4G and we've been using iTouch for over a year). What mine does is either sign on and then immediately drop the connection or gives me a message saying 'can't access' or however it reads, I don't recall the exact words; all I know is my husband's iTouch immediately accesses the internet but mine does not or it goes back and forth between a check mark and "Not connected". It is very frustrating as I have double checked everything I can think of (settings, pop3, etc) but the problem persists.

Hello anndoebler,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
Have you tried resetting your iPod's Network settings? To do this, head to *Settings -> General -> Reset -> Reset Network settings. After your iPod Touch has finished rebooting, try reconnecting and testing different Wi-Fi networks to see if makes a difference.
It might also help to take a look at this article as well for more troubleshooting techniques and information.

Firefox stops responding when I try to access anything other than the home page; even after reseting and reinstalling it.

I have tried resting Firefox and even sacrificed all my data (bookmarks, add-ons, saved passwords, the whole shebang) for a clean installation. Firefox Stared hanging and doing the "(Not Responding)" thing with a whited-out window. Thus force me to force close Firefox.
This happened as soon as I updated my computer (running Windows 7) and the Task manager is show high usage of processes. All my other browsers work (Chrome, Safari, and even the god forsaken IE) don't hang when trying to leave the home page, browse fine, and close and reopen perfectly.
Needless to say, I'm annoyed with this development.

Did you try the minimize memory usage. If not then try it by following method:
- On your navigation bar of Firefox write about:memory
- Click on the button "Minimize memory usage"
Hope it will work!
</blockquote>
Unfortunately, I can't even use the navigation bar without triggering the high process usage thing. So this is not an option.

It is possible that your security software (firewall, anti-virus) blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full, unrestricted, access to install for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

Tried this stuff as well. Turned Norton off and it didn't work. Restarted my computer with Norton off, still didn't work. And Firefox didn't wok after I turned Norton back on. Safe mode also doesn't work.

Cannot Connect to other computers on home network

First let me say I am a new MAC owner. I have only ever used Windows PCs. I just got my Macbook today and installed SL 10.6.2. I can connect successfully to the internet and the networked printer on my home network. I cannot however, see or connect to any other computers on the home network. We have 2 other machines, one is running Vista and the other is XP. They can see and connect successfully to my Mac. I have read through a number of threads, but have not seen anything that I understand or can find on my laptop. Can someone please let me know what I need to do to see and access the windows computers.

Try using Finder > Go > Connect to Server > smb://ipaddress. If you can connect this way, then good. I'll have more to say later. Just try to get this working for now.
Before trying to connect:
On the XP machine.
1. Right-click on a folder to share (e.g., My Documents), chose Sharing, and select both Sharing Options.
2. Restart (probably not necessary, but I’d do it).
See how this part goes. I can't remember where some things are in XP, but you may have to enable Network Discovery somewhere.
On the Vista machine.
1. Go > Computer > Users > User; right click on the User folder, and choose the settings that give Everyone—both Read/Write permissions.
2. Go Control Panel > Network and Sharing Options > Turn on network discovery, Turn on file and printer sharing, Turn off public folder sharing , and Turn off password protected sharing (unless sharing won’t occur without turning it on).
2. Restart (probably not necessary, but I’d do it).
See how this part goes too. I can't remember some of the detail in Vista.
On the Sno machine,
1. Go System Preferences > Sharing > Check File sharing > Go Options > Enable SMB sharing.
2. Go System Preferences > Network > Select Airport or Ethernet depending on what you are going to be using. I am assuming you will be using wireless below. Let me know if not true.
3. Having selected Airport, select ask to join new networks and show Airport status in menu bar.
4. Click advanced > click remember networks this computer has joined > Click Wins > Enter the ip address of your Win7 machine in the WINS server box > Enter the Win7's workgroup name in the workbook box unless it already is there (look in the drop down menu too). In all likelihood the name is workgroup, but check on the Win7 machine.
5. Restart

Can Mail work on a network other than my home?

Hi all,
I apologize up front if this is a really basic question.
The program Mail works great for me at home. But, when I take my laptop to my office, or I use it at a coffee shop, or wherever, I can't send emails. It'll access the server and get emails, but I can't send them. My mac email is IMAP, rather than POP, if that makes a difference.
Is this something that I should be able to do, or does Mail need to be hooked up to my home network to work properly?
Thanks!
Kevin

It sounds like you're trying to use an SMTP server for your outgoing mail that doesn't work away from home. As an anti-spam measure, some ISPs only allow the use of their outgoing mail servers from computers within their network. When you're away from home that test fails.
In some cases it's possible to change your SMTP server settings so that you authenticate via password instead of location. Check with your ISP for more details.

HT1689 my iPhone 5 won't pick up wifi in my home, only in places other than my home. does something have to be shut off, such as iCloud?

I can't get my iphone to pick up wifi in my own home. I get it anywhere else I go, such as stores, coffee shops, etc. My friend gets it on his iphone and my wife gets it on her LG Lucid while in my home. Does it have something to do with icloud? does something need to be turned on or off on my imac?

Power cycle the router.
Check for firmware updates for the router.
Restore the device as new to rule out an issue with user settings, it can always be restored from backup later if this does not resolve the issue.

HT1924 Is there a way to purchase from another countries itunes store ( other than your home country where your registered ) ?

I am looking for a way to be able to purchase form the itunes UK store , currently I use the Australian one and tried changing my country but when I went to purchase the TV shows I wanted it said I was not authorised to use this particular itunes store? Are they not linked? Is there a way to be a more 'global ' itunes customer?
Thanks

No, you can currently only buy from your own country's store - to be able to buy content from another country's store you need a valid billing address in that country and be in that country when buying from it. You can try requesting that the content that you want to buy be added to the Australian store, but ultimately it's the content providers (in this case the TV companies) that will have to grant Apple a license to sell it there : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunes.html

Buying from an iTunes store other than your home country question

I would very much like to download from the Canadian iTunes store. However, I'm unable to (I'm in the US.) Is there a solution for downloading from another countries iTunes store?
thanks!
Powerbook G4 1.67 Mac OS X (10.4.7)

This question is asked frequently so I'll just quote the most complete answer (courtesy of Dave Sawyer) from the many given:
In order to buy from any given country's iTunes Music Store, you must have either:
a) a credit card with a billing address in that country, or
b) a mailing address in that country and a gift certificate or a prepaid card that was bought in that country.
If you cannot fulfill one of these two sets of conditions, you will not be able to purchase from any given country's iTMS.
.......this is due to restrictions placed on Apple by the record companies and other rights holders (who are often completely different from country to country and so all require their own individual negotiations and contracts), not by Apple's choice. And this also applies to all the legal download stores that carry major-label content, not just the iTMS.

Can I have more than one home page so that both would open upon connecting to the internet?

On my desktop I can have more than one home page so that they all load when I connect to the internet.
On my laptop, I cannot figure out if or how I can add a second home page. Is it possible to have more than one home page on my laptop?

Firefox can have more than one homepage. Multiple homepages are separated by the keyboard character "|".
