Does iPad automatically switch from 3g to Wifi or do I have to turn off 3G when I come back to home wifi?

Will iPad2 auto switch from 3G to Wifi when I come home or will it stay on 3G until 3G is turned off?  Doesn't iPhone do it automatically?

If there is a useable wifi network (e.g. if it's a password protected network then the iPad knows the password) then that will be used in preference to 3G - you should be able to tell by the symbol top left of the screen as to whether it's on wifi or 3G.

  • I want to delete an iCloud account from my iPhone. It says I have to turn off 'Find my iPhone'. I can't do that because the applied on the iPhone is an old one to which I don't have access anymore. What do I do?

    For some reason the iCloud account on my iPhone has reverted to an old Appleid. I now can't get rid of it for the above reason--I can't turn 'Find my iPhone' off since that old appleid is no longer active and I don't have access to the email address since its from an old job. I am in a catch 22. I can't move for

    If the old ID is yours, and if your current ID was created by editing the details of this old ID (rather than being an entirely new ID), go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll.  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

  • Auto switch from LAN to WIFI

    I am looking for some software or a way to auto switch from LAN to WiFI if there no internet connection.
    This history of this is we have a XP machine that runs a process and its just left on for this and nothing else, with no keyb or mouse connected and we just remote to it if needed.  Our internet connection has issues and quite often drops out, but local
    LAN obviously stays up, we have a WiFi connection to another site opposite that is ok, question is does anyone know any software that will for example ping a external host every so often and if there is no response will auto switch from LAN to WiFi connection
    automatic.
    Thanks. 

    Please see:

  • My iphone does not automatically switch off the display light when locked. How do I fix this?

    I have an iPhone 5 with iOS 8.2 software.
    My iPhone does not automatically switch off the display light when it is locked. Therefore, if I get an e-mail/text message/pop-up from other application, the light just stays on, which obviously drains my battery.
    The problem just started yesterday, and it has been a couple of days since I updated the software, so I wouldn't think the software update is the problem.
    I have tried restarting the phone (using home and lock button), but that did not work.
    Something else that seems weird is that once in a while, a blue beam rolls over the screen from one side to the other. I don't know why it does this, and have no idea whether this is related to the display light issue.
    I hope someone is able to help by telling me what to do in order to get my phone to act normal again.
    Thank you x

    Restart your device by holding the home and power button until the Apple logo appears. You will not lose any data.

  • Does not automatically connect to recently used WIFI networks

    Recently purchased 13" Macbook Air, with Lion installed. All's well, except upon start-up or waking up from sleep mode, it does not automatically re-connect to the WIFI network it was just connected to. Instead, I'd have to manually find the network to select it. (Incidentally, some of my friends who also use Macbook Air and Macbook Pros have also experienced this periodically.)
    Another strange thing, is that there is this one particular WIFI network at work, that I've successfully connected to before, upon return the next time, all of a sudden, the network isn't even visible anymore. My OS5 iPhone sees it fine, and never has a problem, but repeatedly this happens. Other people at work who also use Macbook Pro and Macbook Air also encounter the same problem. People who are using PCs don't have the same experience.
    Is there a setting somewhere? I have "Remember networks this computer has joined" checked, and I see the particular network listed as ones I've joined.
    Any light that can be shed on this would be greatly appreciated. It's very frustrating, especially Airs don't have a built-in ethernet port. I hate using the adapter, it steals one of my USB slots.
    Thank you in advance!

    Hi sashton,
    When troubleshooting Wi-Fi connectivity issues, I find the following resource has the most relevant information:
    Troubleshooting Wi-Fi issues in OS X Lion and Mac OS X v10.6
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4628
    Furthermore, you may want to avoid giving your network a common name. While the following article (and excerpt) refer to iOS devices, the same applies for your Mac:
    Avoid giving your wireless network a common name (SSID)
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4450
    If you were to give your wireless network a common name (SSID), users of your network who use iOS devices [sic] and are away from your network would run the risk of joining a different network with the same name. Having joined the unexpected network, they would be exposed to potential data theft.
    Because of this security issue, Apple maintains a list of common or ambiguous SSIDs, including the default SSID for many commercially available access points, as well as the SSIDs "wireless" and "default". If your network's name is on the list, any iOS device [sic] that joins the network stores the access point's BSSID and associates it with the network's SSID. Subsequently, it will only auto-join the network if the access point's BSSID matches the information the device has stored. This avoids joining a different network with the same name.
    Therefore, you may want to refer to the following article when configuring your Wi-Fi router:
    iOS and OS X: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points

  • Server not found when switching from 4g to wifi and vice versa.

    I've had this issue for a while across multiple phones and multiple versions of Firefox for Android, and it does not happen with any other browser (which is upsetting). Whenever I am surfing the web and have multiple tabs open, and I switch from 4g to wifi or vice versa, I always get a "Server not found" error on both existing tabs and new tabs. This is an annoying issue that I am surprised to see hasn't been fixed. The only way I've been able to fix it is to quit and relaunch the app. I have tried removing plug-ins and reinstalling, but it has not helped.
    Anything I could do to alleviate the issue?
    LG G2 and Samsung Galaxy Note 3. Both on Android 4.4.2
    Firefox for Android Ver. 35.0.1

    Hi scruffy90:
    You wrote "LG G2 and Samsung Galaxy Note 3. Both on Android 4.4.2 Firefox for Android Ver. 35.0.1 "
    I just tried switching between HSPA+ aka 3G and WiFi on a Galaxy S5 running Android 5 and have had no issues but I think this may have been an issue in the past (I did a search for a bug in bugzilla.mozilla.org but couldn't find anything).
    Are there any other details you could provide that could help us debug?
    e.g.
    # Are you using a proxy?
    # Who is your WiFi provider?
    # Have you tried other WiFi (e.g. the Wifi both at home and work)
    Cheers!

    Hello Roland,
    No proxy on the phone or wi-fi network.
    My ISP is Time Warner, but I supply my own router (Linksys e4200)
    And this happens on every wi-fi network, at home and away from home.

  • Automatic switch from intro page to following page

    Hi there.
    I am trying to get the intro page to automatically switch to the following page after the short movie on the intro page has ended. Any ideas?
    I am hoping that I overlooked a feature for this offered by iweb. html programming is not really my world.
    Thanks, isimba

    The most reliable way to do this is by using the refresh meta tag...
    <META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" CONTENT="10;URL=URL to the page">
    The problem is that this needs to go into the html doc head which means you need to add it post publishing and will need to do it every time you publish changes to the page.
    The alternative is to use javascript and an example is given here...
    http://web.mac.com/catucker/InsideOutside/redirect.html
    Obviously its better to use both since a visitor could have javascript turned off. In any case, its better to provide a text or image hyperlink as a backup - just in case.

    What type of account did you set-up on the iPad, POP, IMAP, the items on your iPad could have downloaded off the server or you will need wait awhile for the message to update to the iPad. 

  • I dropped my iphone (not from a great height) and now it won't turn on however when I plug it in the white apple shows on my screen. My lock button has been broken for awhile so I can't even try switch it on!

    What can I do? I dropped my iphone (not from a great height) and now it won't turn on however when I plug it in the white apple shows on my screen. My lock button has been broken for awhile so I can't even try switch it on!

    Once you have a proven, working Charger... Charge the Device for a couple of hours. Then try to turn it on.
    If no joy...
    Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
    Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
    Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
    Release the Buttons...
    If the issue persists...
    Then a Visit to an Apple Store or AASP (Authorized Apple Service Provider) is the Next Step...
    Be sure to make an appointment first...

  • My iphone 4 is stalling a lot. I've had it for a year now, I have the most current OS, it's not too full of apps, or anything like that. Many times throughout the day, I cannot switch from app to app, unless I do a complete power-off. Any ideas?

    I've had it for a year now.
    I have the most current OS. I snyc it to my itunes 2-3 times a week. It is only about 25% full. It stalls (I don't know if I would call it freezing) between trying to switch from app to app. I either have to let it sit there for a few minutes, or turn it all the way off and turn it back on.
    And yes, I know to press the home button twice to get the bottom part activated. That's not working. I'm not sure if this is a common thing, or what with iphone 4's.
    Anyone got any ideas?

    Thanks for that information!
    I'm sure I will be calling AppleCare, but the problem is, they charge for the phone calls don't they? Because I don't have money to be spending to be on the phone with a support service.
    In other things, it seemed like the only time my MacBook was working was when I had Snow Leopard without the 10.6.8 update download that was supposed to be done to prepare for OS X Lion.
    When I look at the information of my HD it says that I have 10.6.8 but that was the install that it claimed to have failed and caused me to restart resulting in all of the repeated problems.
    Also, because my computer is currently down, and I've lost all files how would that effect the use of my iPhone? Because if it doesn't get fixed by the time OS 5 is released, how would I be able to upgrade?!

  • I have a large number of photos I'd like to delete from my ipad 2 however from reading previous comments it seems I have to unsync from the original source computer. I'm in another country now and don't have access to it.  Is there another way?

    You should be able to do this via the iPad directly.  Open the Photos application and the forward arrow, then select all of the photos you want to delete and click the red delete button.

    Hey bill.rizzo2,
    Thanks for the question. I understand your phone number is missing on your iPad as an option for iMessage. The following article provides steps to resolve this issue:

    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5538
    Phone number missing on iPad or iPod touch
    If your phone number isn't listed on an iPod touch or iPad, follow these steps:
    1. Update to the latest version of iOS.
    2. Verify that you're using the same Apple ID that you're using on your iPhone.
    3. On your iPad or iPod touch, sign out of your Apple ID in the following locations:
        - Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
        - Settings > FaceTime. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
    4. Sign in to your Apple ID with FaceTime and iMessage.
    If your phone number still isn't listed, follow these steps:
    1. Sign out of your Apple ID on all iOS devices, including your iPhone, in the following locations:
        - Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
        - Settings > FaceTime. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
    2. Sign in to your Apple ID on your iPhone.
    3. When activation is complete, your Apple ID and all verified email addresses should be visible in Settings > Messages > Receive At and Settings > FaceTime.
    4. Sign in to your Apple ID on your other iOS devices.
    Thanks,
