Do I need to be near a wifi server to acess the internet?

because i heard that you can acess the internet from anywhere on an itouch even if they dont have wifi. Also are ther any monthly fees?

You can access the internet using a typical wifi portal. However, these portals - at some coffee shops, internet cafes, convention centers - are not as common as some would hope.
There are no fees to use free wifi. You just have to find the signal, first.

i have an iphone 4s and it just turned off and wouldnt turn back on until i got home and plugged it in to the mains. however it wont connect to my carrier and wont let me turn wifi on or use the internet. all my data is still in place. however when i disconnect from the charger it switches straight off immediately. it also just flashes up the apple icon (on 10 seconds, off 10 seconds.......) when i connect to either car charger or computer. it also resets itself every single time i turn it back on using the mains charger. please help me understand what is happening to my phone
is there anything apple could do if i took it to one of their main shops???

Sounds like a hardware failure.
Make an appointment at the genius bar and take it in for them to look at. It will probably need to be replaced.

Why yahoo/gmail retrieval and facebook app so so slow when in WIFI. But using the internet to check for emails and facebook is fast using the same WIFI connection??

Why yahoo/gmail retrieval and facebook app so so slow when in WIFI. But using the internet to check for emails and facebook is fast using the same WIFI connection??

Hi SandyS_VZW,
Yes tried resetting the wifi connection and problem still persist.
Here it is...to make it clear. Connected thru the same wifi at home...
-> emails (yahoo/gmail) and facebook WEBSITES are working fine and fast when using/accessing thru a browser (chrome/samsung browser) - no problem with this.
-> emails (yahoo/gmail) and facebook APP is soooooo sloooww (thru the App). Slow I mean comparing it to using their browser/websites... news feeds/emails refreshing so quickly but not when using the APP installed in Samsung Galaxy Note 4. Slow like - It will take around 5-10minutes just to get your emails and news feed refreshed.
THIS HAPPENS ONLY WHEN CONNECTED THRU A WIFI which has a speed of 10-20mb. It is not happening when connected to the network data/plan.
My wife has the same Samsung Galaxy Note 4 (coming from different provider at&t) - same setup (emails, fb app), same wifi connection, but she's not experiencing anything like it.
Not sure why, I dont want to believe that while connected to a WIFI, Verizon is restricting anything and ******* me off to make me switch to my data plan connection everytime - which is Unfair!
Was there a known issue similar about this case?
thanks,

- Did it successfully connect to the network before?
- Do other devices successfully connect to the network now?
- Does you iPod successfully connect to other networks?
- Have you reset your iPod?
Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset network connections: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- Powered off and then back on your router
- The troubleshooting here:
iPhone and iPod touch: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
-When you restored you iPod did you restore to factory defaults/new iPod? If not try that.
- If you look at the network properties on the iPod what IP address is assigned when you think you are connected but actually have no internet connection. If it starts with 169 then the iPod never connected to the router, the 169 address are self assigned.

Using on WiFi to connect to the internet.

Can I use only WiFi to connect to the internet, like web surfing and downloading?
I'm not in the US so I don't want to use the service provider's EDGE, because it is too expensive.

If you don't have a BlackBerry Data Plan, you will not have access to any of the BlackBerry data features and applications.
Some third party applications (like Pandora radio or BerryWeather) will connect via WiFi.
The Opera Mini browser will work, and can use GPRS settings, if you set the TCP connection for your current service provider.

Our IPod connects to the WIFi, but not to the internet.

Our IPod connects to the WIFI, but not to the internet. We have a wireless router which we connect our MACBOOK to the internet and our IPod. The MACBOOK works fine, but not the IPod. It shows to be connected to WIFI, but whenever we try to connect to an internet site i.e. Sarfari, we get an message "Safari cannot open the page becuase it is not connected to the internet". We have tried rebooting, but it has not helped.

Try:
- Resetting 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

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

I lose my wifi and phone frequently, the internet company says it's my time capsule. What's going on?

I've only had the Time Capsule since the end of Dec. I frequently lose my wifi and phone, I've called
My service provider and they always say everything on their end is working and that it may be my wireless router. I don't know how to fix this. I have had some error messages show up on my MacBook Pro saying a backup wasn't done and that I need to reconnect my Time Capsule. Once I hit ok and re enter my password everything backs up again. I have no idea what's going on or how to fix it. Please help.

Is your main modem cable?? We need to know more to help.
Tell us the whole setup of your home network.. modem make and model?? Who is the ISP?
Is the main modem also a router? How is the TC configured?
The new TC (AC version) has been buggy with some cable modems.. particularly SB6121, 6141.
The ISP is more than likely correct.. your TC is simply unreliable.. if it is faulty you can return it and apple will replace it.. but it can also just be setup wrongly or the bugs have got you due to the particular combo of equipment.

How to use an iPad 2 for web search (via 3G only) while using AirPrint via Airoprt express wifi (NOT connected to the internet)

Heres the setup: I have an IOS 7 iPad 2 that I want to use 3G only for web searches/ emails while using an Airport Express generated wifi bubble (without any connected internett) to print web seraches via airprint to a wifi printer.
The problem: the ipad deafults to searching via the AE's wifi and vainly waits for the non existent interent to connect. It ignores the available 3G internet.
The workaround: a) turn off the AE's wifi, search the web via 3G b) once I have something to print, turn the wifi back on and print via airprint and the AE's wifi to the printer.
The question: Is there a way to turn off the AE's internet access. Using Airport utility, I have tried setting Bridge mode and static IPs to no avail. There is no turn-the-internet-off tick box.
In the ideal setup I would like the ipad 2 to search the web via 3G only (straight away versus waiting vainly for the AE to find it!!) and then print the results via the AE's wifi and airprint without having to toggle wifi on and off all the time.....
Thanks in advance,
Bill...

I need help getting my Airport Extreme to connect to the internet

Hello everyone,
I need some help setting up my AirPort Extreme. I'm trying to reestablish the express after a couple years of not using it. When I've set it up in the past, I've always had a hard time, and by accident it seems, I click something or turn something on and off, and I get it to work.
I have a 802.11g second generation airport extreme. I'm able to connect to my network and I can move files back and forth from the laptop to the desktop, and vise versa.
I have a MacPro 2007, ethernet cable connected to my Linksys router, with two internal hard drives. One has OSX 10.5.8, AirPort Utility 5.6.1, and everything is up to date. The other has OSX 10.6.8, AirPort Utility 5.6.1. I also have a MacBookPro 2011, It came with Snow Leopard installed and I upgraded it to OSX 10.7.4. I installed AirPort Utility 5.6.1.
All three systems can see and connect to my network, but will not connect to the internet. The extreme's IP starts with 169.254.xxx.xxx, and there's an exclamation point on the wi-fi icon.
The set up I have now is a Westell DSL modem from Verizon. I have the ethernet cable from the DSL modem connected to the WAN port of the express and the other cable going from the ethernet port from the extreme to the ethernet port of my Linksys router 4 port switch, model #BEFSR41 V.3. I have reversed the connection to and from the extreme with the same result.
This is what I've done so far with no luck:
• Unplugged the DSL modem, Linksys router, and the extreme for about twenty minutes.
• Updated the Linksys firmware.
• I have reset the extreme from the back and thru the AirPort Utility many, many times.
• I've done a hard reset. I don't know if it worked. After the extreme powered back up, my network's name and settings were still the same. On a positive note, I'm now able to get on the web when I set the connection sharing to "Distribute a range of IP addresses" using the ethernet on my desktop. Before, I was only able to do so when the connection sharing in AirPort Utility was set to "Off (Bridge Mode)".
Any other Ideas?
As always, your help is always appreciated,
Rick

Hi Tesserax,
Thanks for getting back to me.
Sorry about the confusion. My goal is to get online wirelessly with my MacBook Pro and be able to use the ethernet connection for my MacPro.
My DSL modem is a Westell WireSpeed model A90-210015-04, the Linksys router, and the AirPort Extreme.

My company builds robotic systems which we use for industrial inspections mainly in the petrochemical industry. These robotic systems work with a ultrasonic systems which we use to take thickness measurements of piping and pressure vessels using ultrasound.   We have the ultrasound equipment and most of the software as said previously, we just need it polished up and some additions made. Here is a link from NI which is simular to what we do and you can even download the code and have a look at there code: http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/epd/p/id/3618 . Our code is a bit more complex but you get the picture.

    Bill,
We are able to offer you the help you need on
this. I work for a LabVIEW/test-system consulting group based here out
of Salt Lake City...not too far if a quick trip is needed. Among the
six of us, four of us are former NI employees and we count with a lot of LabVIEW experience and regularly do
contract work, local and remote. This sounds interesting and right up
our alley as far as experience goes. I'd refer you to our website for
further info about different projects that we've done for many
clients. www.mooregoodideas.com.
If this seems workable for
you, feel free to shoot me a note at [email protected] I'd be
curious to know more about what you're after and how we can help you
out.
Thanks,
Jim

What are the settings i need to make MI Server available over the internet?

Hello Everyone,
I want MI Client to synchronize with MI Server through the internet. Can i any body tell me what all settings i need for that?
Thanks in advance.

hi
IF you are working on a corporate network, i guess you have to contact your network pple to do this job.
I don't know the exact procedure but it goes like - configuring a reverse proxy and registering your computer with your domain proxy et all..
Google this book <b>"Internet Security and Firewalls by Sepna Vaid, V V Preetham"</b> it will give you info about networks, firewalls etc.

IPhone 4 with iOS5 connects to win 7 wifi but not to the internet

Hi guys,
I know a lot has been said about this and many different solutions have been given but none of them work for me so please bear with me.
I can use my iPhone 4 with iOS5 to connect to my win7 laptop through wifi but I can't connect to the internet on the iPhone. However, I can use my laptop to tap on my iPhone's 3G and surf. Does anyone know why is this the case?
I checked the IP address and DNS and Router and they are all fine. They tally and they are not 169. I even reset my network settings twice and still no go.
The apps on the iPhone that require wifi connection work fine too. I just cannot get the iPhone to connect to the internet when I'm on my laptop's wifi.
I used to be able to on my old laptop. But that got smashed in an accident and even though this new one is the same make and model, I just can't seem to replicate it on the new one.
Can someone please enlighten me?
Thanks.

Only using WiFi for connecting to the internet

I'm hoping to get a Pay & Go iPhone in January. O2 provide unlimited browsing for the first year, but after that you have to pay £10 per month, or you can opt out. I would want to opt out, and just use the internet in free WiFi hotspots (like College, for example).
Do any applications (like Mail, for example) use the internet of their own accord, or will I only be charged if I actually use them (outside of a WiFi hotspot)?
Furthermore, is there a way of disabling internet access over 3G, EDGE, and GPRS?
Thanks,
Will

The answer to all your questions is no. Unless you put the phone in Airplane mode it will use whatever data connection is available - so if you are on wifi and it hiccups, you will use GSM/Edge.
If you open mail, safari, maps, weather or anything else, it will try to do a data connection and it doesn't care what is available.
Some carriers will put a data block on the phone - at least in the US, and they way the phone will NOT do data over GSM/Edge/GPRS. I am not sure if O2 offers this, but you can ask. Just make sure to ask if Texting (SMS) is still available if you care about that.
10 pounds per month is about half what we pay in the US.

Do I need to be near a wifi server to acess the internet?
