Hi guys! In order to use GPS on iPad do I need an active sim card or connection to the internet? Thanks

No, you just need the 3G or 4G version of the iPad (not the wifi-only version which doesn't have the GPS chip) - you don't need to have activated a 3G or 4G service on it, nor be connected to the internet.

Using network sharing on Macbook as router, but my ipod can't connect to the internet even though it can connect to wifi

Hi there, recently I've been trying to use my macbook as a router by turning on network sharing.
I'm sharing my connection through PPPoe.
It worked great for my 3DS and I was able to play online flawlessly
(unfortunately I don't have any other mobile device so I could only test this on my 3DS and ipod touch
But my ipod touch 4th gen, while it is able to connect to wifi with a strong bar, I cannot access the internet via web browsers and some of the apps.
It always gives me the 'cannot connect to internet' message.
What further puzzles me is that I can receive, update, and check my mail perfectly fine.
I've already tried the following:
1) unplugging and replugging my modem
2) forgetting the network on my ipod and re-access it
3) resetting network setting on ipod
4) tweaking with the internet sharing setting like trying different channels and different types of security
5) turning off and on my ipod, and turning off and on the wifi on my ipod
Anyway, I'm really stumped and I hope someone can help me figure this out.
Any help will be gladly appreciated.

oh I'm not actually using a router, I'm using my macbook pro as a wifi router by turning on network sharing.
And I'm sharing the connection through PPPoe
...unless, of course, I'm totally misunderstanding your question @@;
I'm a complete tehcno noob =__=;

How do I download firefox for windows 7 using my Mac, which will be used as part of a rebuild for a PC which won't connect to the internet until I finish fixing it.

Simple, I need the file to put on a PC which currently does not have a browser.

You will be able to download the Windows version from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html

My AirPortExBS n-type will create a network, but not use it to connect to the Internet

I just got a new AirPortExtreme, n-type, and I can create a successful network but cannot use it to connect to the internet. I can do both with my old APEx, g-type. I can connect to the internet directly via Ethernet.
I've been in chat all **** day with Comcast, who insist it's Apple's fault, despite all the evidence to the contrary. They just want an excuse to charge me a setup fee. Jerks.
Salient points:
g-type wireless network (while it's useful to tell the two apart, I'll miss the whimsical UFO-shaped device) works.
n-type device will create a network my MacBook can detect, but it can't access the internet. I got my APExpress in the mail (two days later, even though they were ordered at the same time) today and I haven't tried bridging that in yet, too many headaches already, but I can print wirelessly over the new network when my printer is attached to the square APEBS.
I have power-cycled the **** things almost a dozen times at the behest of my Mac's setup guide and Comcast's chat people.
My best guess is that my modem, because I did not buy Comcast's (jerks) "Wireless Self-Install Kit" is somehow not compatible with the faster AirPort... though why it wouldn't broadcast at the 2.4Ghz band, at least, I don't know.
I will be thoroughly grateful if you guys could help me out here. I've never had a problem with any of my Apple products before, so this is a little disturbing.
Thanks, Jenna

I have found several discussion boards and articles regarding iTunes not recognizing any device in Windows. However, I haven't been able to find one that discusses this specific issue. Does any body have an idea on how to correct this?????

I recently purchased a time capsule and thought I would put my itunes on it as an external drive as my mac book air only has 120gb. However I can not be connected to the internet and the TC at the same time in order to download the files to the TC. Help?

I recently purchased a Time Capsule and put my iTunes library on there so that I wasn't using up my hard drive space. Only 120gb on my mac book air. However when I download songs from iTunes I can not be connected wirelessly to the internet at the same time. Can I hard wire my TC in to my mac so that I can treat the TC as just an external hard drive? Thanks

Initially, you asked if you can hardwire your MBA to the TC. The answer is yes, by using the optional USB Ethernet adapter that Apple provides. However, in order for your MBA to access the TC's internal or USB-attached HDD, it would need to establish a network connection to it. This would be true of any NAS device on an Ethernet network. Therein, lies the problem. Your MBA cannot connect to two networks simultaneously.
One option then, would be to have two separate iTunes Media folders; one on the MBA & the other on the TC. This way, you can download the music to your MBA when connected to the Internet at the AirPort lounge, and then use iTunes Consolidate Library feature to transfer the audio files to the TC's iTunes Media Folder location. A great program to help maintain multiple iTunes Librarys and/or Media Folders, that you may want to consider, is PowerTunes.

How do I use my ethernet connection for printing on my LAN and use my Wifi on a different router and ISP to connect to the internet?

I'm in a small office, and I have to use my ethernet connection to connect to the networked copier to be able to print, but connection to which I hooked my Time Capsule is literally 20x faster when connecting to the internet.
How can I tell the computer to use the ethernet connection to print, while everything else should go through wifi?
I have been manually going back and forth changing the order in Network Preferences between ethernet and Wifi, but I'm know there must be an easier way. Thanks for your help!

A packet going to Apple is not local. It is going to 17.149.160.49 -- So it is sent to the topmost working connection to be Routed and sent to the Internet.
A packet going to a local computer or other device that is on the same subnet (has an IP address very close to the topmost IP Address of your computer) gets sent out that port as well, but is sent directly to that computer on the local subnet, since no Routing [changing of Addresses} is needed.
A packet going to a local computer or Printer or Network Attached Storage device that is not on the topmost subnet, but is on a secondary subnet such as the second network connection would be sent directly to that computer, since no Routing is needed.
I do not understand why two Routers have the same IP Address if they are not cross-connected. That makes everything very difficult when it should be simple.

Windows 8.1 laptop cannot connect to the internet using USB Mobile Broadband stick.

I bought a new laptop and it came with Windows 8.1 installed. Well, things worked perfectly until I wanted to connect to the internet using my mobile broadband USB stick. I installed the software that came with the stick, and my laptop recognize
the stick but I still cant connect to the internet. The stick workes perfect in my Windows 7 and Windows 8 laptops, but IT DONT CONNECT WITH MY WINDOWS 8.1 LAPTOP. What can I do to troubleshoot this???
HOPE I AM SPECIFIC ENOUGH THOU...

The PC Repair Guy,
If you haven't already, verify that you can connect to the internet through some other means such as Wi-Fi or Ethernet with your laptop to rule out any network setting issues. If you are able to connect successfully to the internet, use that opportunity
to make sure you have
Windows 8.1 Update installed as well as any other applicable updates your laptop may require.
You may also want to check the
Windows Compatibility Center to make sure that your device is compatible with Windows 8.1.
Another possibility is that the driver your laptop is installing for the device isn't the correct one. Check the device manufacturer's site for the most up to date driver they have available for Windows 8.1.
Hope this helps!

If not this:
iOS: Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim
One user reported that placing the iPod in the freezer fixed the problem.
Also heating sometimes works. See:
Why can't I select my wifi settings?
A trick that works frequently with iPhones:
Settings > AirPlane Mode ON, Do Not Disturb ON
Power down and wait 5-10 minutes
Power up
Settings > AirPlane Mode OFF, Do Not Disturb OFF
If not successful, an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is usually in order.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
Then:
Does the iOS device connect to other networks? See other networks? If yes that tends to indicate a problem with your network.
Does the iOS device see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iOS device connect before?
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: 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 your router
.- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Yes, I could connect them by ethernet if all I wanted to do was transfer files, but I would like to network them so I could use wireless internet. The machines are not always so close together, I did that to simplify the testing. With the very slow transfer speeds I am reluctant to move ahead with the internet step.

Please help! I try to connect to the Internet but appears inscription There is no expansion of kernel PPP. Yesterday I used internet through the same connection- Dsl pppoe

Please help! I try to connect to the Internet but appears inscription There is no expansion of kernel PPP. Yesterday I used internet through the same connection- Dsl pppoe. Wi fi cannot connect too. On ipad and iphone it is work.

That's odd.
Try this: Unplug your Time Capsule and your router. On your MBP, click the Wi-Fi icon and select "Open Network Preferences".
Click the lock icon to authenticate, then click the "gear" and select "set service order". Wherever AirPort (or Wi-Fi - I forget what Snow Leopard calls it) appears, drag it elsewhere in the list. Click OK, then Apply, then power up your router and TC.
If that doesn't result in any change, repeat the above but try making the service(s) you do not need "inactive".
The purpose of this is to reset or at least change your Network Preferences, which somehow got confused upon upgrading to SL.

Unable to Connect to the internet using airport extrteme

I am unable to connect to the internet using airport extreme It was working fine with my G3 & G4 iBooks but now I am unable to connect. I am able to connect directly to my Desktop connecting directly using ethernet. I am also receiving a strong signal from the airport base station. Please help. Thank you.

Try the following, in order, until resolved:
1. If the modem has a reset switch, use it to reset the modem. Wait at least 5-10 minutes for the modem to initialize.
2. Remove power from the modem. If it has a backup battery, remove this as well. Wait 5-10 minutes. Replace the battery, and add power back to the modem.
3. Perform a complete power recycle of your network components as follows:
Modem/Router Power Recycling - Quick
o Power-off the modem, AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS), & computer(s); Wait at least 5 minutes.
o Power-on the modem; Wait at least 5 minutes.
o Power-on the AEBS; Wait at least 5 minutes.
o Power-on the computer(s)
If this fails to get the modem to "recognize" the Internet router, then try the "Full" version.
Modem/Router Power ReCycling - Full
o Power-off the modem, AEBS, & computer(s). (Wait at least 30 minutes. If possible, leave the modem off overnight.)
o Power-on the modem; Wait at least 15 minutes.
o Power-on the AEBS; Wait at least 5 minutes.
o Power-on the computer(s)
4. Contact your ISP to have them perform a "modem reset."

Cable modem connection to the internet using Time Capsule

I have just moved to Indonesia and my ISP has provided a cable modem. I can connect to the internet if I plug the ethernet cable into the MAC directly but if I try to use my time capsule I cannot get a connection to the internet.

You will need to completely reset the modem.....and if that does not work.....reset the modem and reconfigure your Time Capsule.
Push the reset button on the modem (if present, it is usually on the back)
Power down the modem by pulling the power plug or wall plug
Remove the battery from the modem (if easily accessible)
Power down all other devices on your network...order is not important
Wait at least 30 minutes. A hour would be better and longer will not hurt.
Connect the Ethernet cable from the modem to the WAN port (circle icon) on the Time Capsule
Re-install the battery if you pulled it in the step above
Power up the modem and let it run for at least 5 minutes by itself
Power up the Time Capsule the same way
Power up each other device one at a time a few minutes apart
Check for proper operation

Welcome to Nokia Discussions, Hamzat_kudus.
The pre-shared key is the password or passkey needed in order for the phone to establish a connection with the Wi-Fi source. This is explained more further on this page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pre-shared_key
To setup Wi-Fi on your phone:
Open the WLAN Wizard and perform a scan.
To start or continue browsing the web using the access point of the WLAN, scroll to the desired network, and select Options > Start web browsing or Cont.web browsing . Enter the password of your router and proceed.
To view the details of the WLAN, select Options > Details . To save the access point of the WLAN, select Options > Define access point .
