Ipod seems to access internet when no wi-fi is avalible

So ive noticed some wierd occurrences with my ipod touch. The first being when i was looking through my photos. I noticed that some of these photos had been geotagged in locations where i was sure that i had no wifi access. To make sure the next time i was at that location i made sure to check if there were any unprotected wifi networks. There weren't
The next strange thing to happen was while sitting in a moving car. I got a notification for my AIM application, with a message that my friend had sent me. I knew there was no possible know wifi network in the area because 1.) this was the first time i had been in that area. and 2.) I was in a moving car.
To summarizes what im asking is. are certain applications able to access protected to retrieve necessary information

I'm wondering if you got a very weak signal and didn't even notice it. In the car you could have quickly driven by an access point and not known it.
Another possibility is that you were near someone with a phone with hotspot activated or mifi device which had an open/unprotected network that the touch latched onto.

VM cannot access Internet when host is connected to VPN

Hello everyone,
I have a little problem with my Hyper-V network. I use internal switch (external seems to have problems when I want to access the host via RDP and host has Wifi only).
Now attached is my configuration as a wonderful picture. ;) My problem is this: I have a internal switch in Hyper-V which is used by the VMs. They can access the Internet because the host WiFi Adapter has Internet Sharing enabled. However, when I connect
the host to the VPN, the VMs cannot access the internet anymore. I know it is not possible to share the VPN-Connection itself, but without any Internet I cannot connect the VMs to the VPN at all. So is there any way to connect the host to VPN and also the
VMs?
Thanks! :)
Best,
Chris

Hi CBuntrock,
Please try the following setps :
Open network connection --> right click the vpn connection --> properties --> click tab Networking --> click the proper internet protocol version --> properties --> advanced --> tab ipsettings --> uncheck "use defult gateway
on remote network " --> ok
Please try to access internet again from your VMs .

Can access internet when connected w/ethernet cables in router, but WRT54G says it can't connect

I have my router, modem, and computer all set up correctly. I can access the internet in this setup but with only the computer that is connected with the ethernet cord to the router. Yet, my WRT54G router can't connect to the internet in the Linksys easy setup nor through the http:192.168.1.1 method.
When I changed the internet connection type to PPPoE, my modem was unable to access the internet. I also changed the IP to 192.168.2.1 but that didn't help. I have performed several power cycles. I have upgraded the firmware.
I changed the internet connection type back to DHCP, so I am able to come on this website, but I can't set up the wireless since the router says it can't connect to the internet. Please help!

Start it from scratch...Reset your router and re-configure it...
Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your router, wait for 30 seconds and re-connect the power cable...Now re-configure your router...
Also make sure that your computer is set to obtain IP automatically, disable any firewalls, security softwares on the computer before trying to access the setup page.
If your Internet Service Providor is Cable follow this
If your Internet Service Providor is DSL follow this
To change the Wireless Settings click here and Enable Wireless Security
Now see if you can locate your wireless network on your wireless computer and attempt to connect...

IPod seems to freeze iTunes when I connect it! D:

I decided to restore my iPod using iTunes, so I did. When I went to go and then put the saved backup back onto my iPod iTunes froze. It then came up with a Windows message saying that 'iTunes has stopped working' and that Windows was 'checking for a solution to the problem'. The Windows message then changed to saying again that ' iTunes had stopped working' and the only options on that window was to press the x button which closed the message and iTunes or 'close the program' buttom which did the same thing. I tried this again and again and each time it did the same thing. When I would plug the iPod into iTunes, the icon of an iPod would appear in the top left hand corner like normal but it was a faded icon, after a short delay, that was when iTunes froze and the messages came up etc. I then decide to try and connect my brothers iPod but doing that didn't seem to cause iTunes to freeze etc. and I could use the facilities for that iPod as normal. I can't honestly think of what has caused this and Apple support, either in store, online and by telephone has been absolutely useless, so I thought I'd ask on here. Please help and give me some advice on what to do to resolve this issue as I currently can't use the ipod. Even if I was to set it up as a new iPod I won't be able to sync it to my iTunes as it will freeze and force quit as soon as I connect it.
Thank you!

Domain Joined Workstations Can't Access Internet When Server is Off

I have two Windows 7 Ultimate workstations joined to a server running Server 2012 R2 Foundation. Whenever the Server is powered off the workstations can't access the internet via a web browser from neither a domain account nor a local
account, even though the network icon in the system tray indicates "Internet Access".
Is this a normal situation, or am I missing some settings? This is a big problem because there are times when the server will be off, but the workstations still need to be able to work in a web browser.
I'd be very grateful for a solution to this problem.

Hi again SenneV, and thanks for the fast response; I wish the Dell community would get back even half that quickly.
"No i mean that after a while, the nla status icon on system tray will no longer state there is internet acces while there isn’t."
I was afraid that's what you meant, but I wanted to find out for sure.
"I would recommend doublechecking the bios and management ui for power options as I cannot imagine a server that would not be configurable to boot after power loss."
I couldn't imagine that either, but I've checked several time, and unless the setting is in Aramaic or mentioned in the Rosetta Stone, I couldn't find a setting for that. There is a setting for restarting after a crash,
but not just for a return after a power failure. I have the server on a battery backup so that it doesn't crash when a power failure occurs, but I can't even coax the server to restart after power is restored.
The server is a Dell PowerEdge T110 II, and it has BMC in the BIOS in which I've made all the necessary settings. Unfortunately BMC doesn't have a web GUI like IDRAC, and only (supposedly) responds to IPMI. However, I've not been able to get
that to work either. I've downloaded Intel's "ipmiutil" and installed it on one of the workstations and the server, but I can't get the utilities to work. I feel like I'm in the twilight zone.
I've posted questions on the Dell Community, but as yet (after almost a week) not a peep out of anyone there. I guess I'll have to contact Dell Tech Support.
Anyhoo, thank you for your help. I do appreciate it.
P. S. I tried logging into the workstations via LogMeIn while the server was shut down, and guess What! It worked. I was able to access both workstations even though the server wasn't running. Now, if I can just get IPMI/BMC to work,
my problem w/be solved.

IPod seems in "locked" mode when connected to iTunes

When I connect my 5th gen. iPod to my computer, I am not able to access the music or movies on the iPod itself when I click on my iPod in the source section of iTunes. I can access my library and other sources, but when I select to look at my actual iPod, everything in the window is grey and I can't select anything within it. There is also a lock next to how much space is available on my iPod, which has over 45 GB left over. Due to this, when I import songs or movies, the only way I can transfer these files to the iPod is to select "file, Update iPod," which works, but is annoying. I am used to being able to just drag new files onto my iPod and having them upload that way, but as everything is grey, I can't access this source folder. HELP PLEASE!

Grey text when you look at the content and lock symbol at the bottom of the screen simply shows that your iPod is set to "automatically update songs and playlists". . If you want to access your iPod directly, play it through your iTunes, connect it to a second computer etc. you just need to change the update method to "Manually manage songs and Playlists" in the iPod preferences. For more detail see this tutorial: Managing Your Songs Manually
One thing to be aware of when manually updating is that the iPod also has to be manually ejected before the "Do Not Disconnect" message will go away. Safely disconnect iPod
For info: iPod 101
The iPod offers three ways to transfer music from your computer. You can select one of the following update modes from the iPod Preferences menu in iTunes (Edit=>Preferences=>'iPod' tab):
1) Automatically update all songs and playlists. This is the default mode, in which your entire music library, including playlists, is automatically synced to your iPod. If the music library on your computer exceeds the iPod storage capacity, you are prompted to select a different update method.
2) Automatically update selected playlists only. With this option, iTunes automatically copies the playlists you have selected to the iPod when you connect it to the computer.
3) Manually manage songs and playlists. You can also choose to transfer music to the iPod manually. This allows you to drag and drop individual songs and playlists from iTunes to the iPod.
Your iPod is set to automatically update, change it to manual and you'll be able to access it directly

Unable to access internet when static IP address is configured

Hi
I am facing the problem for not getting the internet in AD Server(DC) if configured with static IP address. If we set DHCP it will connect to internet. When I check the IPCONFIG on DHCP settings its showing the external address of the ISP router. Not the
firewall. Suspect there must be a foul play with DNS. Appreceiate your prompt response.
Thanks
Michael

Hi
First, Disable ipv6. then run the netsh command to reset IP stuff. Just a warning though,
I think this will only apply to this problem if you are using static IPs.
Here is the netsh comman:
netsh interface ip set address name="Local Area Connection" static xxx.xxx.xxx xxx.xxx.xxx xxx.xxx.xxx
ip address subnet mask gateway

I am unable to access internet when server app is running on mac mini

I recently installed the server app on a mac mini. With the app open, I am unable to connect to web pages through the mac mini. I do not have this connection problem with the server app closed. While I can see my IP address I am also not able to connect to the server. Would love some advice how what I am doign wrong with the setup.
My ISP is a DSL through century link, the mac mini is hooked to a cisco E4200 v2 wireless router.

You'll need to go through the configuration of the server, sounds like something is off.

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
The songs are grayed out in iTunes because the iPod is set to automatically update. That is normal.
As for the songs skipping and not playing, that is not.

Failed to access internet in App sometimes even the internet is active

Hi
Some times I am unable to access internet from my WinRT Application even my device is connected to internet. Is that a problem with Opeating System or with my Application, Can anybody explain Plz..

Hi Ramana,
Please check and make sure your internet connection works properly. Is it possible that you cannot access internet when using build-in app? If so, I think it should be the problem of internet or your computer. You need to post your question on
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us.
If this problem just happens when using your app, I would recommend you find more information about this scenario. Post something more about it here.

Why isn't my iTunes store loading properly? It lists everything in text without images, and I can't seem to access the store when I try to search for music or movies etc.

Why isn't my iTunes store loading properly? It lists everything in text without images, and I can't seem to access the store when I try to search for music or movies etc.

1) The best way to relocate the iTunes library folder is to move the entire iTunes folder with all subfolders to the new path, then press and hold down shift as start iTunes and keep holding until prompted to choose a library, then browse to the relocated folder and open the file iTunes Library.itl inside it.
If you've done something different then provide some more details about what is where and I should be able to help.
2) Purchases on the device should automatically transfer to a Purchased on <DeviceName> playlist, but it my depend a bit on whether automatic iCloud downloads are enabled. If there is a cloudy link then the transfer might not happen. You can use File > Devices > Transfer Purchases. In iTunes you should also check out iTunes Store > Quick Links > Purchased > Music > Not on this computer.
3) Backup the device, then immediately restore it. In some cases you need to add a restore as new device into that equation. Obbviously not to be attempted until you're sure all your media is in your library. See Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device should it be needed.
4) I believe there is complimentary 1 incident 90-day support with hardware purchases, but no free software support for iTunes itself. AppleCare gets you a different level of support.

Can I use the icloud to play all of my music to any of my devices (ipod and several iphones) even when I don't have an internet connection of any kind? I have a large music collection and it is too big for my PC to store it all. Thanks

Hi,
I have used itunes for years and recently found as my collection grew, so the space on my PC shrunk. I tried keeping it all on a hard drive but it seemed like itunes wanted to keep reverting to the PC drive and I would lose all the CDs I had spent ages putting on. This has happened to me at least 3 times so I am getting really frustrated with it now.
I am looking for a simpler option. icloud seems like a great idea as long as I can get access to my music whether or not I have internet - which is sometimes patchy where I live. Also, I would need the cloud to be able to share different music across different devices such as an ipod and other iphones.
Can anyone guide me on this?
Thanks

No. An iPod Nano has no internet access.
