HT201699 if both wifi and apn is available,can I force use apn? thankyou.
dear friends:
if both wifi and apn is available,can I force use apn? thank you very much.
The iPhone does this automatically - has since the original iPhone and iOS 1.0 was released 5 years ago.
If you have wi-fi enabled and your iPhone is in range of an available wi-fi network the iPhone has connected with before, your iPhone will connect to that wi-fi network automatically. When leaving the range of the wi-fi network, the iPhone switches to cellular data automatically. This swich back and forth is automatic and seamless for wi-fi networks your iPhone has connected with in the past.
The iPhone will connect to the fastest internet connection available, but not automatcally for a wi-fi network your iPhone has not connected with before.

Can I use both Wifi and a Lan connection at the same time?
With me back in the dorms I have been limited to a slower connection than what I would like. Now we are able to use both Wifi and a Lan line so I was wondering to somewhat "double" my speed if there was any way to use both connections at the same time.
Now I know that you can have both plugged in at the same time, I guess what I'm asking is, is there a way that I could set programs to use one or the other? Or some kind of virtual desktop that is set to use the other connection or anything that would allow both be used at the same time.
Or am I just wishing for something that doesn't have any possible way to work?

MacBook pro 2.16 C2D 2gb ram Mac OS X (10.4.8)You can use both at the same time, but not gor Internet access if that's what you're asking.
Now there is a thing called Link Aggregation, which combines a number of interfaces for speed/redundancy, but it really only works locally, and then only with ALL special equipment in the route, and most likely OSX Server involved.

How can I tether via USB my iPhone 4S with iOS 7.1.1 to my MacBook with Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and iTunes 11.2.2 ?? Please note that at the same time Personal Hotspot via both WiFi and Bluetooth works perfectly!
Hello, lustige luka.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
The Personal Hotspot feature using USB should be as simple as connecting the device to your Mac via the USB cable when Hotspot is enabled. Here is some more information regarding this feature and an article that will provide some troubleshooting steps if you are experiencing an issue.

Lost the ability to connect to both WiFi and Bluetooth on my iPhone 4S. Any suggestions on how to fix the problem?
Have you followed http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1559 ?
Also try settings>general>reset>reset all settings
If you have followed that article and restored your phone and set it up as new and you're still having that issue you may call and explain you followed the article and are still having the problem. Most likely they will either set up a replacement for you. If they ask you to set up the one time phone support agreement, and they assist you with a restore again, they won't bill you if they end up having to repair it. -

It will only appear in devices if you mount the drive. This should happen automatically when Time Machine starts.. but you can manually mount the share by just clicking it.

IPSec VPN brings up login box but will not connect after entering password. Have tried this on both IPAD and IPhone 4. Can anyone help?
Uggh, it's so frustrating! I've googled every search phrase I can think of and this seems to be the only thread describing this exact issue. I'm always automatically logged into Facebook on my MBP but just to be sure I logged out and back in and it worked fine.
I gotta say, I wasn't a fan of the Droid I had preceding this iPhone, and from what I hear the iPhone app for FB is a thousand times better - not that I'd know personally because I can't log in!! - but I could always access my FB account on the droid. Just sayin... -
I had an update message on my phone and I clicked yes to update. Now the phone has a picture of itunes and usb connection, but can't be used. itunes says I have to restore my phone, but will lose all the data. Is there anything else I can do? I really don't want to lose all my pictures and other data.
It's in recovery mode. There is nothing left on the phone at all. If you didn't back it up before you started, your data is gone.
you have no choice but to restore at this point. -
