Iphone wifi security

Hi guys, can anyone recommend decent and safe wifi security system/software via an app perhaps?
Just want to be safe while using out and about, coffee shops etc etc.
Also one while using the mac book pro, also for wifi, would be great.
Thanks a lot!
Jim.

SSo you watched him violate federal and local law concerning unauthorized access to computers?
I would report him to the police.
""Unauthorized access" entails approaching, trespassing within, communicating with, storing data in, retrieving data from, or otherwise intercepting and changing computer resources without consent. These laws relate to either or both, or any other actions that interfere with computers, systems, programs or networks. "

  • Bug/vulnerability in wifi security settings

    Hi there. I have an iPhone 4S. On about 21 January it was suddenly unable to connect to a WiFi access point at work to which it had always been able to do. So I tried to connect it to my personal WiFi access point which I always carry and to which I have been able to do since I set it up lst year. This also failed along with my connecting to my WiFi access point at home. I then read about Apple iPhone 4S WiFi issues (some prevailing since last year in September). I then disabled security on both my personal and home WiFi access points and my iPhone was able to connect. What seems strange is that an iPhone does not have an option to setup WEP, WPA, WPA-PSK or any other WiFi security option.
    Is anyone aware of iPhones WiFi security bugs which seem to exist currently. Resetting the network settings has not helped. My iOS is at version 6.0.1 and is up to date according to my iPhone.
    So is Apple going to release a patch to this WiFi security issue?

    Hi there
    I'm wondering if the following is happening to you.
    When in Acrobat, you are viewing the document differently and able to make edits. When you are opening the PDF from RoboHelp (or more accurately, the browser) you are presenting it from the PDF reader and not Acrobat. Thus you have different capabiities.
    Cheers... Rick

  • WIFI Security Camera's that can be monitored from my Macbook and iPhone4

    I'm looking to purchase wifi security cameras that I can monitor from my Macbook and iPhone4. Can anybody tell me what the best camera is and what App. is the best to monitor from my iPhone4. Also, how would I set up my Macbook for monitoring. I'm new at this so any help would be greatly appreciated.

    You usually don't need an app or any software loaded on the phone/computer you are using to view the feed from IP cameras. You go to a web-site set up by the manufacturer, enter your user name and password and you see the picture through the web-browser.
    However, check that the system you buy does not use Flash to send the pictures otherwise you won't be able to view them from an iPhone or iPad (but it will be fine on your MacBook).

  • Yet another iPhone WiFi thread - cannot connect to some OPEN networks

    I make no apologies in starting another thread about iPhone WiFi connectivity. Judging by the number of references to WiFi issues in this forum, as well as on the Internet generally, this is a big issue with many users and yet there seems very little acknowledgement by Apple that there is problem.
    In my case I have a first generation iPhone which works well on most WiFi networks, both open and closed, including my secured network at home, but cannot connect properly with some open networks. I have had this problem while using 1.0, 2.0 and 2.1 firmware.
    Sometimes I get the "Cannot Connect ..." message and sometimes I am able to connect and obtain a good signal and see an IP Address and a Subnet mask, but no Router or DNS address.
    I'll repeat that I talking about open networks, so there is no password issue. In one local cafe, I am unable to connect to a network that I used to be able to connect to routinely. I have talked to the owner, who is another Mac and iPhone user and he assures me that he has not changed any router settings.
    Can anyone offer any suggestions beyond the usual re-setting and re-booting options? Is there something about iPhone MAC addresses or the WiFi signal that certain routers don't like?
    Simon

    This is not a solution to your problems but:
    1- Expecting someone from Apple to respond here is a vain hope. This is a discussion forum for users and you can only expect responses from users. Talk to Apple tech support if you want a response from them.
    2- I saw an item on an iPhone blog page somewhere yesterday saying that Apple was now replacing iPhones with this issue if you took it to an Apple store. Don't know if it's true but it also had a workaround that you could use for your own home network if you were having problems—and I am—and that workaround basically worked for me.
    I turned wi-fi off on the phone and opened Airport Utility on my iMac. I turned wi-fi security OFF and then tried to connect. I actually got a connection straight away, and I noted down the IP addresses and subnet mask data from the DHCP screen in the iPhone's wi-fi network info screen. I then restored wi-fi security on my iMac. Of course that restarts the router and I lost my connection and when it started up again, the IP addresses had changed but the subnet mask had not. I swapped to the Static screen instead of the DHCP screen and edited all 3 IP addresses. That got me my connection back and it has continued to work throughout today. That's the best result I've had so far.
    It seems to me that my iPhone has problems picking up the network data from my home network and I don't know why that is. I was at a friend's last night and tried to connect to his system and it connected straight away. I assume there's something about my settings which is problematic but I don't know what it is but at least now I have a workaround.
    It's possible that something similar is going on for you with the public networks you're having problems with but, unfortunately, the workaround I tried won't work for you in a public network so that's probably not much help.
    You could try taking your phone to an Apple Store and seeing if they exchange it. The blog I read suggested the magic words were "hardware problem". In my case I don't think it's a hardware problem but it may be in yours.

  • IPad & iPhone wifi sync stopped working

    It's been since I upgraded my iPad 2 and iPhone 4 to 5.0.1 that I cannot wifi sync my devices.
    I have a 2006 White MacBook with OS X 10.6.8, both iDevices upgraded to 5.0.1, last itunes version. My router is a linksys WRT54GL with the latest original firmware. Wifi security is WPA2 personal, TKIP+AES. OSX firewall is set to off.  I am an IT engineer.
    I have searched over net and looked for possible solutions here, so these are the procedures I tried:
    restarting my mac, iDevices, and router
    updating firmware on my linksys router to the latest available
    turned off iphone while trying to see if itunes detects the ipad
    renew the dhcp lease on the ipad, and macbook
    set a static IP both for mac and ipad
    disconnect permanently the ipad from the router's wifi, then reconnect to it typing the password
    switch off both ipad and mac wifi.
    Remote app IS indeed working to control iTunes
    disable router's multicast filter: when I did this, my roommate, who has a win7 pc and an ipad2, was able to see its ipad in itunes, and he successfully synced
    disable router firewall
    create a custom wifi network with my macbook and connect only the ipad to it
    changing wifi channel
    set up port forwarding rules for TCP:123, 3689, UDP:123, 5353 to my mac static dhcp ip address
    using another network @ work
    I'm running out of creativity... This problem must rely on apple side, since my roommate can sync wirelessly.
    And since his ipad is working, there must be something wrong with itunes for mac, or in the way ipads interact with Macs.
    The wifi sync DID work while on iOS 5.0.0, it all started after upgrading.
    In any case I will not restore any of my devices, since it is not a problem caused by me.
    Please Apple, fix this!  Let me know if you need any logs.
    Thanks,
    Riccardo

    I looked into the Console to see what is going on.
    This is what I found showing up when I set airplane mode off, and the ipad was set to sync wirelessly:

  • IPhone/Edge security and available space question

    2 questions here:
    1) Is it 'safe' to access sites like online banking or enter credit card information using the iphone/edge, or is it not really secure? As a side-question, is it more or less secure to do the same using iphone/wifi?
    2) I have about 45MB free on my iphone (according to itunes). Does this number include ALL space on the iphone (meaning if I fill that up, it won't have any room to cache data/download email, etc..) or does it have a portion of the drive partitioned off for its own uses? Should I be worrying about keeping some free space or will it do it on its own?

    1. Safe is a relative term. If someone is snooping they may intercept your transmission. Same thing with WiFi. When you connect to banking sites, you are establishing secure connections, and some have better security than others. But even with a hard connection, someone can have a sniffer hooked up to a port somewhere down the line and intercept your transmission. Bottom line - I connect to these sites and dont worry about it too much.
    2. 45MB??? Where did all your space go??? There is a space allotted for the system, but as an old-schooler I have never "used up" all my storage - it tends to cause problems. I am pretty sure the system will alert you if you fill up beyond capacity or if you will hinder its operation. It a pretty smart phone. I would not fill it to capacity though. Its just an old habit I have.

    My iPhone Wifi is greyed out.
    In Uruguay in Cellular Center (+598 2 903 3333) that is where I buyed it told me it has no solution, it´s a problem of hardware accepted by Apple, that Apple change the phone in this cases, but that they can´t change it by another new one because their warrantee is 3 months and I bought in december, 2012. It cost me US$ 1,250 and I want a solution because I saw in the Apple web that iPhone warrantee is 1 year and I am still covered by it.
    I have the invoice dated December 24, 2012.
    Do you have any solution to my problem?
    It is hard to believe that a so expensive iPhone has a life of 6 months.
    Do I need to take my iPhone to anywhere they can solve its problem?
    Thank you so much.

  • IPhone wifi-network problem- Please Help!

    I have a problem with my iPhone4. It could only connect to the internet for a couple of minute then it dropped off. But it is still connect to the wifi though and in my Mac the wifi seem to be working fine. Any ideas?

    first start here
    http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/wifi/
    If that doesn't help then
    Restore as new, if wifi  works add your backup and proceed .If after backup issue returns
    Then you have a corrupt backup
    If when restored as new no wifi then you probably have hardware issue and should take it to an Apple Store genius bar

    Is anyone having issues syncing the iPhone wifi hot spot to iPad, Mac, Etc..?  I constantly have to turn it off and back on to get them to connect.  I with it was a little more seamless... Thoughts?

    Thanks for the swift reply, I have been looking online and a loose plug seems to be somewhat of an issue with many, I hope mine is actually a problem and not what others are experiencing. It's taken me this long to even reach out for the simple fact I HATE being a complainer but this is just horrible.
    Do you have an iPad 3 as well? And is yours not experiencing any issues close to mine?
    Thanks again!

    If you are still unable to turn Wi-Fi on, please contact Apple for support and service options.
    Waiting for Apple to release the next update won't do any good.

    There are tons of complaints about the WiFi interface on the iPhone, with errors and problems similar to what you're seeing on the iPad.
    Chris Shaker

    As a retired network device driver writer, I realize that the same device driver is probably running on both platforms. So more than likely, you'll see the same bugs on both platforms. Unless we're dealing with a hardware issue.
    I would guess that the iPhone/iPad losing it's WiFi password issue is a software bug.
