HT3867 even though I am connected to my home wi-fi, it is also using 3G!! which is using up all my data

even though I am connected to my home wi-fi, it is also using 3G which is using up all my data!  What do I do??

Like Ann said, turn off Mobile data.  Go to Settings, Mobile Networks, and disable mobile data.  You'll get a warning about connecting to wifi to do email, and browse, etc, but that's the whole point - you want to use the wifi, not your mobile data.

  • I just bought a new pc and My laptop can connect to it but my airport utility won't recognize it. Even though it does connect to the internet about every 15 minutes the internet shuts off.

    I just bought a new pc and for our internet connection we have an airport express. My laptop can connect to it but my airport utility won't recognize it. Even though it does connect to the internet about every 15 minutes the internet shuts off. What should I do?

    If you've not yet tried, unpower the AppleTV for a minute or so and restart - this occasionally corrects issues.
    If not and the software update seems to have caused an issue, go to the Settings menu and choose to Restore it (this will erase all settings) to reapply current firmware.
    Alternatively try to do so via iTunes:

  • My MacBook Pro will not open any application or program that requires internet, even though I am connected to the web.

    My MacBook Pro will not open any app or program that requires Internet, even though I am connected to the web. I recently installed Norton AntiVirus and think it may have changed a setting that I couldn't find. I uninstalled Norton and it didn't help. Every time I open Safari, iTunes or any other program that tries to connect to the Internet, it crashes. Strangely enough, Skype still works, but nothing else.
    I have OSx 10.6.8.
    I have tried erasing plists, and all the standard troubleshooting, ie resetting modem, restarting computer, reloading Safari from disk.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

    Change your router channel.  Sometimes this is all you will have to do.
    Power cycling the router.  Read the router's user manual or contact their tech support for instructions.

    I uninstalled Norton and it didn't help.
    To properly uninstall Norton software follow these instructions - Locate Symantic Solutions folder inside the Applications folder at the root level of your HD, launch the Symantec Uninstaller application, select the Symantec AntiVirus Corporate, Norton AntiVirus & Norton AntiVirus Auto-Protect entries and click the Uninstall button. 
    Confirm your decision when prompted and then enter your administrator password in the space provided.
    Retart your computer & Norton should be gone for good.
    If the above does not work, download a copy of Symantec’s RemoveSymantecMacFiles removal utility.  This utility will launch Terminal & remove the Norton components.

  • IPhone4s searching for bluetooth even though it's connected.

    I bought a Motorola H720. I have the iPhone4s. My phone recognizes and pairs with the device, but, when I go to bluetooth and turn it on, the phone acts like it is searching for the device even though it is connected. My question is, if I leave that screen and go back to the home screen does it stop searching?

    Yes it, it stops searching.
    It is working exactly as it should.

  • I didn't update my phone 4s or my iPad 3 to iOS 8, so why are they not loading anything and telling me that i need a wi-fi connection even though it's connected

    I didn't update my iPhone 4s or my iPad 3 to the iOS 8 and neither one will load anything, the iPad tells me I need a wi-fi connection even though it's connected. Why am I having this trouble? I can't update any apps, load Facebook or safari. Help

    Hey ramonafromtuttle,
    Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like you are having difficulty with Wi-Fi. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you resolve or isolate the issue.
    iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    Restart your iOS device.
    Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and locate the Wi-Fi network to which you're connected.
    Tap  and Forget this Network.
    Try to connect to your desired Wi-Fi network. Note: You may need to enter your Wi-Fi password again if your network requires one.
    Turn your Wi-Fi router off and on2. If your ISP also provides cable or phone service, check with them before attempting this step to avoid interruption of service.
    Update your device to the latest version of software.
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Have a nice day,

  • When I open firefox before connecting (via 56k modem) or if I leave a previous section open, disconnect and then reconnect, firfox does not work, it remains offline, even though internet is connected. I have to close firefox and reopen

    When I open firefox before connecting (via 56k modem) or if I leave a previous section open, disconnect and then reconnect, firfox does not work, it remains offline, even though internet is connected. I have to close firefox and reopen

    Thanks for the reply. I never get the option to "Restore Previous History" from History. I don't even have the box checked that asks to delete the history when Firefox closes. I don't know what's wrong, no matter what, I always lose everything. I have the box marked "Show my windows and tabs from last time" for when I open Firefox, but it never shows that, just my homepage. Also, when I check my History, it only shows the pages that I opened since I started Firefox, nothing from before. Even if I were to open up 10 pages now, close Firefox, and open it, the history would only show the homepage that opened this time, not any of the 10 pages that I opened 5 minutes ago.
