How do i switch from cellular to wifi at will

I have a new contract with Verizon to use its data, which I did on my Ipad.  I am in my first month with Verizon.  But just used all my time. I tried at home to go online through my wifi set up. On Netflix I get a message that says - there is no data remaining on your current plan.  The Ipad display states "Connecting ..." That goes on for minutes until I change the screen.  When I go to Settings, Wi-fi, a response is "not connected."  Then "choose a network."  Mine came up with my cellular network.  Both the wifi and Verizon network had a lock beside them.  I hit the wifi network sign.  The moving circle began and the sign said "unable to join network."  When I went to the apple store the genius man had no problem getting on to its network without making any changes in the Ipad settings. So he sent me home to use the router password which doesn't do anything for me.  Does anybody have a suggestion?

A common suggestion is to leave cellular off, then turn on only when needed.  That way you'll never use cellular accidentally.  This is what I do and while it does sound inconvinient, if you're near Wi-Fi most of the time (i.e.: at home) is not that troublesome.
If necessary, you can have cellular on and turn off Wi-Fi, for places whith "free Wi-Fi" but for whatever reason you do not want to use that Wi-Fi hotspot.  (e.g.: privacy or does not work with your VPN, etc.)
So if you leave cellular off, then you know the iPad is only going to connect to Wi-Fi, and that will make troubleshooting your Wi-Fi much simpler.

    How do I switch from wi fi to 3G ?

    If both are turned on the phone should automatically use Wi-Fi if it is available and cellular when no Wi-Fi is available. If you want to use 3G when Wi-Fi is available, you could go to Settings > Wi-Fi and turn it Wi-Fi off.

    If it is not opened, try to open it with administer key statement.
    Check the status again.

    How do you switch from one iTunes account to another on your apple tv?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    I assume you do mean a different account and not simply a different iTunes library. Unfortunately, in order to switch accounts, you would need to log out and log in to the second account.

  • HT201320 How can I switch from one email user to another?

    How can I switch from one email account to another?

    You have to select between the two accounts in the mail app.
    Say for instance that you are reading an email in your XYZ email account. Tap the button in the upper left corner of the mail app to back out all the way to where you can see all of the email accounts.... Tap InBox, then tap XYZ email Account and that will take you back to the main MailBoxes window.
    Is that what you want to know? There is no way to simply "toggle" between the two accounts.

    Your call of course but IMO a waste of money. Please read this first:
    There are many forms of ‘Malware’ that can affect a computer system, of which ‘a virus’ is but one type, ‘trojans’ another. Using the strict definition of a computer virus, no viruses that can attack OS X have so far been detected 'in the wild', i.e. in anything other than laboratory conditions. The same is not true of other forms of malware, such as Trojans. Whilst it is a fairly safe bet that your Mac has NOT been infected by a virus, it may have another security-related problem, but more likely a technical problem unrelated to any malware threat.
    You may find this User Tip on Viruses, Trojan Detection and Removal, as well as general Internet Security and Privacy, useful:

  • How do I switch from Windows to mac?

    How do I switch from Windows to mac on a macmini?

    Hi,
    I assume you are talking about a BootCamp Windows, right ?
    If so, usually you hold down the Alt/Option-key at startup of your Mac to get the Boot Selection screen.
    There you can choose which Operating System to boot into.
    Once in OSX you might wanna go to System Preferences - Startup Volume and set your OSX to be the default.
    Regards

  • 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?

    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.
