Does my iPhone's IP address change depending on the wifi?

I received a notice from Google that someone tried to log into my account from Hungary-- That of course, isn't me, as I am based in NY. However, I was checking my "recent activity" and noticed that there was an IP address that was located in MA. I was hoping that was a fluke, since it was based on the IP address. I just logged on to see what my current IP address was and it was different from what showed on the "recent activity".

The iPhone's IP address when connected to WiFi is assigned by the WiFi router. So yes, it will be different for each WiFi network. It will usually begin with 192 or 10.

DropDownByKey display changes depending in the number of records

Hello,
I've noticed that the UI component dropdownbyKey change depending in the number of items it has, with few records it appears like a normal dropdown box and with a huge amounts of records it appears like a combobox (table). This is a great feature.
However, I want to know the cause of this? What is the limit of records that causes this behaviour. It's possible to assign the way I want to display it?
Regards
SU

hi soauniverse ,
For what huge amount of records you are able to see the drop by key like a combo box (table)...... like what is the numerical value of the huge amount , that behaviour u r able to see .
if the values are less than 30 then we go for svs , for values more than 30 and less than 300 we use EVS and for value or record more than 300 we go for OVS .
if you have done svs code for a feild and bind that value to the DD by key it remains to be normal Drop down by key and if the same field is bound to an input feild then the EVS will come .
so what have you done can i know in detail please .....
Please paste the scree shot of the UI (that is the combo box) .......

I own a 13-inch MacBook Pro and for the past day, my wifi on my laptop says I only have two bars of connection and is running very slow,but all of my other devices such as my iPhone and iPad are connecting perfectly to the wifi. How can I fix this? I have tried to shut my laptop off and let it rest and I have also re-started my wifi router three different times. Someone please help me with this problem so I can begin to use my laptop again as I take it to school and use it for class.
Thanks so much!

FCP, and all software on OSX, has a few different "preference" files (the extension is .plist), which store all your user settings. Each time you resize a window, change a setting, anything, this file is re-written. Kinda easy to see how they would become corrupt every now and then.
-Close FCP
-Navigate to User>Library>Preferences and delete com.apple.FinalCutPro.plist
-Navigate to User>Library>Preferences>Final Cut Pro User Data and delete Final Cut Pro 5.0 Prefs
-Empty your trash
Relaunch FCP and see if that worked.
Download FCP Rescue to make this process easier in the future. When you have FCP running really smooth, open FCP Rescue and create a backup of your preference files. If it starts acting wanky, just run FCP Rescue and Restore your backup preferences. Works really slick, and it's free.
EDIT: Or use the really simple explaination that X posted as I was typing.

Have you rebooted your home router?

EUREKA, I found the solution to my problem in a Discussion initiated by gingertodd on July 27, 2011 entitled "Safari in Lion hijacked by malware." The solution was provided by Badunit who recommended force quitting Safari and then reopening it while holding down the Shift key. It worked instantly, and I subsequently was able to open Safari normally by just clicking on its icon in the Dock. THANK YOU BADUNIT!

Why does an iPhone/iPad default calendar change?

Hi,
I'm working with several hundred iPhones and iPads, and I'm having difficulty understanding what causes someone's default calendar to change.
I push an ActiveSync profile through an MDM solution, and on a brand new phone that becomes the default calendar.
Sometimes when I deal with a device later, I see that the default calendar has been changed to either the iPhone calendar, or an iCloud calendar.
What I want to know is *WHY* a calendar changes? Does it change when someone:
adds an iCloud account
adds the gmail/yahoo/outlook app
adds another native mail account
whenever there's an activesync issue
connects to a computer with iTunes
accepts a meeting invite
Really any information or experience anyone can provide is helpful. I want to find out what circumstances or changes would require someone to verify their default calendar.
thanks!

That's actually become our resolution is to have them change it back. Thanks for the suggestion though.
Unfortunately I can't tell what changes it in the first place. I've several devices of my own, and immediately after enrolling in the MDM, one of the devices has the calendar set as the activesync one, and another is the on-device calendar.
There has to be something that triggers this, but I haven't been able to effectively reproduce the problem, but I would expect that the ActiveSync calendar should become the default calendar, but perhaps my expectations are misplaced.

What is the icon on the far right that looks like a circle and has a small number that changes depending on the website page? in the bottom right edge of

I am wondering what this thing is.
It is an icon located on the far right of the page next to the search toolbar. It is shaped like a circle with a number on the bottom right edge. The number changes depending on which tab I have opened. An empty tab has no number. This page results in a 1. I have another page open which results in a 4. The number shows white in a small orange box. The circle is outlined with a thick black line. What does this icon indicate?
Thank you.
John

Hi John, I'm guessing that icon is created and updated by an extension. I'm not sure which one, though. Maybe something that is tracking the trackers, like Lightbeam? Have you tried hovering your mouse over the icon to see whether a tooltip appears, or clicking it?

HT5824 Why does my iPhone require 27 hours to backup to the iCloud??????????????

Why does my iPhone 5 require 27 hours to backup to the iCloud???????

It depends on your upload speed which is normally very slow.
Subsequent backup should be a lot faster (incremental backup)

i use this about 95% for work and 5% personal so this has to work for me or i will stick with the android system...

Hello chelle77549,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
For more information on this, take a look at:
iOS: Wi-Fi settings grayed out or dim
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1559
Verify that airplane mode is off by tapping Settings > Airplane Mode.
Reset the network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
Note: This will reset all network settings, including Bluetooth pairing records, Wi-Fi passwords, VPN, and APN settings.
Ensure that your device is using the latest software. To do so, connect your device to your computer and check for updates in iTunes.
If your issue is still unresolved, perform a software restore in iTunes.
Best of luck,
Mario

TS1398 My iPhone 4S won't let me turn the wifi on!

Hi! My iPhone won't let me turn the wifi on, the option is greyed out in settings and the control centre doesn't work-it doesn't turn on either. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks xxx

Hi Lullita.
This is a common problem on iphone 4s using ios 7.
I have had this problem myself.
Try basic troubleshooting : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1559
If that doesnt help, try this.
Go to youtube and type this " 4s wifi grey" ... You will find a couple of videos describing a method which includes blowdrying your phone and puttin it into freezer. This method does fix your wifi, I know I have tried it myself, and it brought back my wifi and bluetooth, which were greyed out.
But be very careful, this method can damage your device if youre not careful enough. Do this at your own risk.
Hope I helped.
Donnie.

Iphone 5S'. Can't connect to the WIFI at our gym.

Both my daughter and I upgraded to the Iphone 5s. We can connect to our home WIFI fine. However, we cannot connect to the WIFI at our gym. I can connect at the GYM with my Ipad mini running IOS7 (no cellular service on Ipad)
Both phones see the gym network and we are asked for th user name. We enter it and get the "connected to ...." message. But there is not a WIFI symbol or connection.
I went into the WIFI settings for the gym network on the phone, and sometimes see an IP address and subnet address bit no router info or DNS. I tried resetting network connections and "forgetthis network" and tried to reconnect but had no luck. The same is true for trining "renew lease"
I have not had problems connecting to other WIFI networks
I am out of options.
Anythoughts?

I’ve had lots of issues with the Wifi on my 5S. While it works fine at home (all be it a lot slower than my 4S at making initial connections), at work it refused to connect. No amount of “forgetting networks” or “Reset Setting” would make a difference!
In the end I manually configure the network.
Settings -> Wifi -> Other
Manually enter the Wifi networks name (SSID)
Selected the correct Security (Most likely WPA or WPA2)
Enter Password (Option appear once you select the security type)
I now appear to have stable access to Wifi at work. Can’t guarantee it will work for you be is worth a try.

My iPad wont connect to the wifi, only works on 3G. I have iPhone 4S and its working fine off the wifi.

Please help!! Going crazy. My iPad will not work connected to the wifi. I have an iPhone 4S and its working fine. Any suggestions??

If those things don't work I'd take it into the apple store and have them look at it. I've not heard of wifi antennas 'breaking' but that sure sounds like it.
I had my laptop repaired once and then the wifi stopped connecting unless I was in the same room as the router. Turns out the tech hadn't reattached the antennas. Thing is, I doubt you were in the 'guts' of your iPad so they had to have gone non-functional on their own. And beyond a normal person's ability to fix.

I want to enter the password for a secure WIFI network on several iphones. If I do this, can the end users somehow extract the ip address and password for the wifi network from the iphone and use it from a pc (at home, for example)?

I want to enter the password for a secured wifi network on several iphones. If I do this, is it possible for the end users to somehow extract the ip address and password information and use it from a pc/laptop/other mobile device. For security reasons, I don't want them to be able to to this.
Please advise,
Thanks.

If you look at the top left of your screen you will either see a 3G (or 4G if you have AT&T) or you will see the wi-fi symbol. If you don't see the wi-fi symbol you are connecting to Gmail through your cellular data plan, not via wi-fi.
To answer your question, it doesn't happen often but when it does the steps I mentioned above will normally resolve it. Hopefully you won't have any further problem with this.

Does my iPhone's Back-Up Assist conflict with the Verizon Cloud?

I just got my first iPhone 5C through Verizon. When I transferred my contacts from my old LG phone through Verizon, I found that I had multiple entries for each contact. Since I have three Yahoo Email accounts, I assumed that was the cause. I called Verizon and asked if I backed up my contacts from my new iPhone would that supersede the contact list that was on the Verizon website. They couldn't give me a clear answer.
So, my questions are:
1. What is the iPhone's Back Up Assist?
2. Does the Back Up Assist serve the same function as the Verizon Cloud? (If so, am I better off using Back Up Assist or the Verizon Cloud…or both?)
3. I don't want to back up anything on the iCloud, so how do I make sure I'm not doing that?
As you can see, I am a complete neophyte at this, so please be patient and understanding.
Many thanks for your input.
Joe

As Chris CA, noted Backup Assistant and Verizon Cloud are both Verizon apps. Backup Assistant is older software and has largely been replaced by Verizon Cloud which will back up more categories of data. They are both cloud based back up services. You should not try to use both. That can result in the type of duplicates you're seeing. If you want to use a Verizon provided back up option, go with Verizon Cloud. It's advantage over iCloud is that, should you ever change to another platform (e.g. Android) on Verizon's network, your data will be easily accessible. It is not, however, as well integrated into the OS as iCloud.
If you do not want to use any type cloud back up, don't use Backup Assistant, Verizon Cloud or iCloud. You can delete both Backup Assistant and Verizon Cloud from the phone. iCloud is built in. You can turn off all the back up/sync options under Settings>iCloud. I would recommend leaving Find My iPhone turned on, though.
