Using Email on iPhone Away from Home

If anyone can help with this I would be grateful. I am having issues sending and receiving emails (with a comcast email account) from my iPhone when I'm away from home. At home it works fine -- I'm guessing because it's accessing comcast's mail servers via my Airport WiFi system. However, when away from home and when the iPhone has to send/receive via ATT's Edge network, I get "unable to connect to server" messages.
Any suggestions on how I might fix this, or is this an ATT issue?

You should be able to receive mail fine, whether you're on WiFi or Edge...
for your outgoing server try adding :587 to the end of the server address.
Put your username and password in.
Go to advanced and make sure SSL is turned off, and authentication is set to "password".
That worked for me with my provider, and I had used the suggestion based one what someone using comcast had said!

TS1398 How do I connect to the internet with my iphone when away from home

I have an iphone 3GS which was fine , was able to connect to the internet away from home when at uni, at appointments. Since software update to IOS 6.0, can now only connect to internet wirelessly when at home-as soon as leave the house it disconnects. Is this just because of the software update? Have tried adjusting settings but got nowhere. Thank you

When your wifi is off. Do you see your carrier name at the top left with either 3G/4G. If not you can try a reset, hold down the home/power button until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up.
or settings - cellular - cellular data - ON
if those two suggestion doesn't help then you will need to contact your phone carrier to resolve the issue.

HT1976 iPhone 5 has suddenly stopped connecting to the internet away from home

My iPhone 5 has suddenly stopped connecting to the internet when away from home. It was fine last Wednesday, then on Thursday all I got was 'Safari is no longer connected to the internet'. I cannot use the Messaging, Find my Friends etc.
As far as I know I have not done anything to alter any settings, but I did change my password on Wednesday - which works, so I think that's OK.
Has anyone any idea what is happening?

Using Outlook 2007 I want to receive emails on my iPhone 4 only when Outlook is NOT open on my computer, as when away from home or want to quickly check email when computer is not turned on. Either ALL emails come to my iPhone or none at all.

Using Outlook 2007 I want to receive emails on my iPhone 4 only when Outlook is NOT open on my computer, as when away from home or want to quickly check email when computer is not turned on. Either ALL emails come to my iPhone or none at all. Is the setting I need to change in Outlook or on the iPhone or is it somewhere else? I used to have this setting but transferring Outlook to a new laptop somehow turned it off.

No. You really can't do that. Not easily at any rate. You would have to set them both up to use POP3, but even then there is no way to guarantee that the phone won't poll the server prior to your computer doing so, pulling down the message from the server.

How can I get my iPhone 4 repaired while away from home?

I will be working in Manila in the Philippines for the next few months.
My iPhone 4 has developed a hardware fault and needs to be repaired. It is out of warranty, but I am willing to pay for the cost of the repair myself. The Apple Authorized Service Providers here inform me that the only organizations who carry out repairs are the two official iPhone distributors in the country. Unfortunately, neither of these companies are willing to repair my iPhone because it was not purchased from them.
I am told that I will have to fly back to the country I originally purchased the unit from to have the work carried out there.
People travel and work all around the world these days. Do Apple really expect their customers to fly to a different country just to get their phone
repaired? How is someone travelling on a business trip supposed to manage without his phone if it develops a fault while he is away from
home?
Does anyone know a way I can get my iPhone fixed while I am here?

As I explained, I'm not asking for Apple to provide warranty support. I'm quite willing to pay for the cost myself. The problem is that none of the authorized Apple service centers are willing to accept the unit for repair because it wasn't purchased from them.
Its quite shameful that Apple permits its official support organizations to behave in this way. Someone working away from home should be able to get their phone repaired if it develops a fault. These things are not toys for many of us. A lot of people depend on them to carry out their business.

Using iphone with macbook air to access internet away from home

Can I use the iphone as a dongle to access internet on Macbook air. I find using the iphone fiddly and would prefer the laptop when away from home.

You can, but you have to pay an additional fee to AT&T. I think it's about $20/month for tethering.

Before you go, move the files to I tunes and sync them down. There is no viable way to stream from your nas drive to the pad.

Accessing WD home NAS whilst away from home

I am trying to find out about step by step guides on how to access my WD World Edition II NAS whilst away from home without using Mionet. I am reasonably technical but a novice at networking. I have an O2 broadband router with the drive connected to it. I have looked around for help but it seems to get very complicated very quickly. Do I need to change the settings on my router etc. Any help would be great.
Thanks

@Teejay74 - make update for your firmware with latest one, WD replaced the Mionet for the wd2go.com, a WD tool that makes the share really easy and secure. Now with this tool you can share images from your NAS to your iPad/iPhone/Android , and on this last update you can connect from anywhere to you NAS with wd2go.

Send "away from home" message

How do I send an "away from home" or "out of office" message in mail like I can in Outlook? Can't seem to find instructions anywhere.
Thanks

Open Mail preferences. Go to the Rules tab. Click the +Add Rule+ button.
Name it whatever you want in Description. The rule itself is
+If any of the following conditions are met:+
To -- +Is equal to+ -- [email protected]
To -- +Is equal to+ -- [email protected]
<add as many as needed for your email addresses>
+Perform the following actions:+
*Reply to Message* -- Click +Reply message text...+ button and enter your reply message for being away.
When you click OK, make sure you select NOT TO apply rule to (existing) messages in the selected mailbox. You just want it to apply to new messages. After the rule is saved, immediately uncheck the Active checkbox, until you need to use it. Late at night, when you are less likely to get a real message, test it out by making the rule active and sending an email to yourself, to make sure your "vacation" rule works as expected.
Look up the Mail Help topic +Sending automatic replies+ and note the warnings about making a rule too broad. As advised, it may be best to use a mail server setting to send this type of reply. For example, with .Mac, I can set it up to automatically send such a reply when I'm away. When I get back, I can make it stop.

How do I stream purchased movies to my Macbook Pro if I've already downloaded them and moved the source files to an external desktop hard drive and I'm away from home?

I recently added a number of movies to my iTunes library by redeeming digital copeis that came with Blu-rays. Due to limted disc space on my MacBook Pro, and for safe keeping, once I downloaded the movies, I moved the source files to an external desktop hard drive. When I'm home and I'm able to access that external HD via my home network, I'm able to watch the movies without an issue. However, if I'm away from home and I want to watch them, I'm not sure how to do that. I thought I could "stream" purchased movies from within iTunes - even after downloading them - using "iTunes in the Cloud" but can't figure out how to do that, or it simply isn't possible.
What are my options?

I understand that I can't play my downloaded movies when my external HDD is not connected becuase iTunes is looking for the downloaded files. This is not the issue. The issue is that because my HDD is not connected (as in when I'm away from home) I'd like to be able to stream the movies via the cloud.
If I hadn't downloaded the movies when I redeemed my codes, would I have been able to keep the movies online via Apple iCloud and watched them anytime by streaming them or must the movies be downloaded in order to be viewed on my MacBook? I read that Apple allows movies purchased (or redeemed) via iTunes to be stored in the cloud via Apple iCloud so that they can be viewed any time, on any device. IF this is the case, how does it work? From what I can see, it looks like movies can only be "streamed" from the cloud when useing Apple TV; on my iPhone and MacBook Pro, it looks like they need to be downloaded in order to be viewed.
Can someone clarify this for me?
Also - Michael - when you said that If I've already downloaded the film but I'm away from my external HDD I should "Delete the entry from the iTunes library so iTunes only sees the iTunes in the Cloud version", what exactly would this mean? Would this mean that I could then stream the movie from the cloud or would I have to re-download it to my Mac's internal HDD in order to watch it?
Many thanks!

Can I use iCloud away from home on my iPhone5s?

I thought that it worked that way, but I seem to be mistaken. I can use it when on the same block as my home, but not otherwise. When I am near home, it only allows me to play a few songs from a couple of artists. Is it supposed to work that way and if not, how do I correct it? I don't know if it affects anything, but I have Verizon and the standard 5GB cloud plan (but am willing to upgrade if it will help my listening coverage). I've checked several similar questions but have yet to find anything that works. This is a big annoyance for me because I wanted to listen to my songs away from home, but my 16GB phone won't hold all 1400 songs (which I'm told is another problem all it's own, but that's another question entirely).

I've made calls from areas where I can't listen. Is there some kind of setting I've effed up?
