Connection to Apple products but not windows

Just as the title says. I can connect my mac, iPads and work laptop via my apple phone but cannot link laptops directly to the internet via wi fi if they are not Apple. Why is this?

You are not explaining your problem very well.
Are you using 3G, a BTWifi hotspot or using a BT Internet connection via a BT Homehub?
Are you tethering your devices to your iPhone so that they can connect to the Internet?

  • Can connect to Mac users, but not Windows.

    I have been able to connect to other Mac users signed onto AIM accounts in iChat, but not Windows users signed onto AIM. Help with this problem would be greatly appreciated, as I am at college and away from all my loved ones, and desperately want to chat with them.

    Hi,
    I am sorry that only 2 hours and 15 minutes left you disappointed.
    Some things to consider.
    1) they have to be on XP.
    2) they have to be using AIM 5.9 or Trillian Pro
    3) if they use AIM 5.9 they have to Tune the Camera and Mic to the Application. See message 570 in that link (Access to these preferences in in the My AIM menu now or use F3)
    4) Whichever App they use it has to be Enabled through the XP firewall. IF at Service Pack 2 they need these instructions an earlier version of XP has to have the Firewall disabled.

    The ports that iChat uses have to be opened at your end although it sounds like they are.
    The port for AIM/Trillian have to opened in their modem at their end.

  • Mail works on my other apple products but not my iMac - how do I fix that?

    I cannot download my mail on my iMac but I can on my MacAir, iPhone and iPad. I have a gmail account. I have tried to delete and add account but it just downloads email from a couple of days ago and no recent email.
    Any ideas?

    This forum is for the long-discontinued eMacs, not iMacs. If you do "About this Mac" from your Apple menu and tell us what that says about your processor and your OSX version, we can ask teh Hosts to move you to the appropriate iMac forum for your version.
    In About this Mac, the two red arrows I've added to the image below point to the information we need to know:

  • Connect to Apple Store but not iTunes store

    started about 1 week ago....
    Can serf web, uninstalled and reinstalled itunes, got latest as of today.....

    Hi Nunipuki,
    Have a look at this thread: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/6099057?tstart=0 because the problem is world-wide. We're trying to keep all issues in that thread so there's one major thread for this problem GeorgeVargas suggested we log the details of our ATV so we can get a picture of all the models and software versions affected. It will also make it easier for Apple to reiview this issue.

  • HT4759 --------------Windows 7 Back-up w/ iCloud?------------------  Will iCloud let me back up my Windows 7 laptop?  I want to convert my entire house to Apple products but everything resides on a Windows 7 platform. s// Help in Chula Vista

    Will iCloud let me back-up my entire Windows 7 laptop.  Soon I will convert the entire household to Apple products, but I have large amounts of data that I would like to port over to an Apple device but I do not want to lose that data.
    Would you describe in detail what my options are before I fully convert my household? For example, is it better to dump everything to an external harddrive, then connect it to the Apple device, or is better to port the data directly over to, let's say a MacBook Pro?  What other options would be useful given my circumstances?
    s// cyh1076

    Whew... never buy an iMac or Laptop from Apple without the 3 year extended AppleCare... well 2 years extended... & I think they should be called on this, they should come with a 5 year Warranty, with more available if you want.
    I think, "hmm... should it take this long?"
    No way, Houston, we haave a problem, not sure what... RAM, Logic Board, etcd.
    Tough without the Install disc, but some things to try...
    Does it boot to Single User Mode, CMD+s keys at bootup, if so try...
    /sbin/fsck -fy
    Repeat until it shows no errors fixed.
    (Space between fsck AND -fy important).
    Resolve startup issues and perform disk maintenance with Disk Utility and fsck...

  • HT4759 i downloaded the icloud to my pc it says to login with apple id and it says it is a valid apple id but not cloud but i cannot get the control panel for icloud to come up to set it up on my pc which runs windows 8

    i downloaded the icloud to my pc it says to login with apple id and it says it is a valid apple id but not cloud but i cannot get the control panel for icloud to come up to set it up on my pc which runs windows 8

    An update.
    From iCloud Control Panel 2.1.1 for Windows
    "iCloud Control Panel 2.1 and later includes support for Windows 8"
    but you still need to set it up on a Mac or iOS device, "Note: To create an iCloud account you need an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 5 or later, or a Mac with OS X Lion v10.7.5 or later."

    Just figured it out!  Here it goes:

    Go down to: Open Network Preferences
    Click on: Advanced
    Then on DNS
    Then click on the + sign and put the following numbers: 8.8.8.8
    click again on the + sign and put: 8.8.4.4
    Worked for me!  Hope it helps :-)

  • TS3972 My Apple TV connects to the wifi but not to the internet.

    My Apple TV connects to the wifi but not to the internet. Currently using a D-Link Router and Shaw Cable in BC Canada.
    Apple says "Connections through proxy servers are not supported". Would that be Shaw? How can I update the ATV
    software without connecting to a TV and the internet? Can I connect it to my MacBook Pro? ATV worked very well in Arizona
    using CenturyLink as an ISP provider and their modem/router. ATV software is 5.0.

    What happens when you try to connect? I would contact your ISP

  • HT1595 Why is my Apple TV able to connect to the wireless but not the Internet?

    I cannot connect to the Internet! It's so frustrating it says it can connect to the wireless but not the Internet I know I have a signal because I have my laptop and iPad connected and working fine but its just Apple TV that cannot connect! Also when I continued without Internet it wouldn't let me sign in with my apple id even though I know it was right is this because I wasn't connected to the Internet? Someone help me please

    It's in your router.  Google is your friend, using the make and model of your router and the key words "port forwarding".
    There are lots of guides, for example http://www.wikihow.com/Set-up-Port-Forwarding-on-a-Router
    The hardest part is figuring out where to go in your particular router's menu system to type in the IP address of your Apple TV

    You can not setup a new iCloud account using a PC. You must use an Apple device (Mac or iPhone/iPad) to create the account, then sign into it using your PC.

  • Stupid icloud sign in box says my id is a valid apple id but not an icloud id!  after changing my password it still won't let me sign in, why?

    I finally got tired of updating iTunes and saying no to iCloud.  Stupid me apparently.  Now I'm Faced with a sign in box for iCloud that says my id is a valid Apple id but NOT an iCloud id.  Everything I look at says that the id should work for both.  Well, it's not for me and I am regretting having installed iCloud.  If I can't sign in, or find out how to, I am going to remove iCloud and will never have anything to do with it again as it will be an obviously unusable program.  Anyone know how to fix the stupid thing? 
    OK.  I finally got a new screen that says I have to use my apple id to set up iCloud on a device..I don't have any devices..only my PC, unless a Kindle counts.  Can anyone help here, please?

    Hi kjohns2001,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    If you do not have an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch, then you don't need iCloud.
    It is a service that keeps these devices and your computer synchronized.
    iCloud Control Panel 3.0 for Windows
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1455
    iCloud keeps mail, contacts, and calendars up to date between your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac, and Windows PC, and lets you share calendars and task lists.
    So, you can uninstall it from the Control Panel in Windows.
    Cheers,
    - Judy

    - Reset the iPOd. Nothing will be lost.
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on the router
    - Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
