Iphone6 touch id stops internet access both wifi and cellular
iPhone 6 64GB iOS 8.0.2 Verizon - With Touch ID on (at least one fingerprint is configured), there are times when I depress HOME to wake the device and then try to use the fingerprint reading service, internet access stops both on wifi and cellular. Turning wifi off and on doesn't help. The wifi signal shows as OK. No subsequent internet access on either wifi or cellular. Have to restart the device (I hold the home and power buttons together until the Apple logo displays).
Right now, it is OK to not use Touch ID. In fact, since I specify how long to wait before locking the device it is actually more convenient to not use Touch ID.
However, when Apple Pay is available this will be a significant problem.
Any advice? Thank you.
I have not verified this, but I have read that the ios 6 ipad uses either the cell network or the wifi network, but not both at the same time.
You should be able to test this.
I'm not enough of a network tech to know if you could get this to work, but there are mifi devices that do wifi to cellular.
Here is one example:
FreedomPop provides 500meg of free 4g cellular data per month! You do need to buy a wireless device at $39. There are ways of getting bonus megs. One gig of addition data costs $10 per month. I used about 10megs per hour of internet surfing.
When signing up, you need to be careful with your selections. On some screens, the free option is a small link below the large button. FreedomPop employs a Pavlovian Dog < Operant conditioning > thing of getting you used to clicking on the large button then they change the large button to a paid add-on.
Once you setup your account, you need to go to your account options screen to turn off automatic paid data download once you exceed your quota.
The performance seems about like my DSL connection.

IPad Internet access when WiFi and Cellular features are disabled
Local security policies require me to disable all wireless communications on devices operating within specific “Controlled Access” areas. Is there a specific lightning (cable) adapter I could use to connect an iPad device to a hardwired Ethernet cable (CAT-5 or 6) to facilitate wired internet communications in this situation? Alternately, can I use a standard Lightning-to-USB cable connected to a MacIntosh computer and somehow configure the MacIntosh to act as a router-like device for internet communications between the iPad and other intranet or internet endpoints that the MacIntosh is also able to interact with? Basically, I need to establish internet connectivity to/from the iPad without the use of wireless communications options, and I'm interested in the options I could pursue.
Thanks for the YouTube links bobseufert.
I'm going to try this approach out myself (just to verify that it works), but I'm really hoping that another - less encumbered, approach can be found for my end-goal. The larger-scale view of my need includes connecting multiple iPads (one per workstation area) to a local intranet. Since I can't use a WiFi or any other wireless communications solution for this installation, I might need a collection of adapter cables and powered USB hubs if I choose to implement the options detailed in these two videos on a large scale. Sure, that's all possible, but what I'm really hoping to find somewhere is an RJ-45 configured Ethernet-to-Lightning Adapter that will work with iOS devices.
From one perspective I can see why this type of adapter has not been built yet. However when you think about the wired adapter options that are available to connect the iPad/iPhone to a remote display (or overhead projector) - there is at least three different versions available through Apple, even through Apple sells wireless video display capabilities (I own two Apple TV devices myself), you wouldn't think that a wired network option for these mobile devices would be something out of the question...
BTW, I noted that Redpark (www.redpark.com) has some serial (RS-232) adapters for the older 30-pin iPads/iPhones and for the newer Lightning equipped iPads/iPhones that Apple has signed-off on. Redpark also has an RJ-45 to Lighting Adapter, but this particular implementation is built (i.e., wired) for the CISCO Console port, which is not compatible with your typical CAT-5 / CAT-6 wiring configuration.
If anyone else finds a Lightning Adapter providing both Ethernet-based Data (via an RJ-45 connector) and Power to keep the iPad devices charged (24/7) I would really like to hear about it... Thanks for your continued support! -
How to block an app from using internet both wifi and cellular
Hi,
I want to stop an app from using internet ( neother cellular data nor data from WiFi).
Uninstalling the app is not a solution.
Is there a way to get this done ?
Please help.
Would be much appreciated.
AncSorry if I wasn't clear. I just woke up. Let me start again.
Open iTunes with your phone connected to the computer. Now, click on Apps in the iTunes sidebar. This displays all the apps you currently own. Locate the one you don't want. CTRL- or RIGHT-click on it and select Delete from the context menu. Go down to the Devices section in the iTunes sidebar. Select your phone and sync it. The app should be removed from your phone and the listing of apps under the phones Apps tab in iTunes. -

Swapping the blackberry playbook wifi only for a blackberry playbook wifi and cellular.
Hello there! how possible is it to swap my playbook wifi only for playbook with both wifi and cellular? if possible please let me know.
Hello lewtha and welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
Thanks for your question about your BlackBerry PlayBook tablet.
If you have the first generation tablet which uses Wi-Fi only, it cannot be altered to use mobile networks.
The ability to use mobile network and Wi-Fi was introduced to the second generation tablet. You would need to purchase it to have this ability.
Hope this helps to clarify.

I updated my daughter iPod touch. Now the music states that it is on iCloud and can be accessed using WiFi or cellular. I need to move the music back on the iPod so that she can listen to it without WiFi. I tried to Restore backup but still does not work. I tried to sync, still does not work.
Is the music in your iTunes library?
Why can't you sync?
You said "Now the music states that it is on iCloud and can be accessed using WiFi or cellular."
where does it state that?
Just redownload them from iCloud to the computer and the iPod by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store -

my iphone just stopped connecting to my wifi and i have tried all the recommended troubleshooting with no success. Also when i send a text , it shows it coming from my email address instead of my cell #. i dont receive any text going to my cell #. help
If i understand what you are saying then you are seeing the WiFi indicator after connecting but Apps are saying that they are not connected to the internet?
Your router may not have given your iPod a valid IP address. Go to Settings > Wifi > your network name and touch the ">" to the right to see the network details. If the IP address starts with 169 or is blank then your router didn't provide an IP address and you won't be able to access the Internet.
Sometimes the fix can be to restart your router (remove power for 30 seconds and restart). Next, reset network settings on your iPod (Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings) and then attempt to connect. In other cases it might be necessary to update the router's firmware with the latest from the manufacturer's support web pages.
If you need more help please give more details on your network, i.e., your router make, model and version, the wifi security being used (WEP, WPA, WPA2), etc. -
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?
-nathan
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.
Sorry. -
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. -
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.

How many ghz should I get if I plan on using my IPad2 for internet access, email, facebook and games for my daughters children?
Ghz is the CPU speed and that is fixed for each iPad model.
The GB is the number of Gigabytes of storage.
I had a 32G iPad1 and filled it up with 5000 songs, 20,000 photos and about 50 apps. It doesn't sound like you will need anything larger than that. If you are just talking about a few dozen apps and email, the 16G version should be adequate. -
Since iOS6, whenever I send an iMessage to my wife, it sends the message to me too. How do I stop this? My wife and I share the same email address.
On at least one of the phones, go to Settings/ Messages/ Send & Receive and then tap the e-mail address to turn that option off. That should force the iMessage to be sent to the unique phone numbers of the phones, not the e-mail address that is common between the phones.
Or alternatively, create a new e-mail address for one of you and select that as the e-mail option to receive at on one of the phones instead of the shared e-mail. -
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.
