IPod Wifi Connection - Share with Laptop?

Easy question ... i have a laptop with an Alltel wireless data card. Can I get an iPod touch and have it share the connection?

I don't know about a PC, but on a MAC you can share your internet connection - it turns the MAC into a base station. I've done this at hotels that don't have wi-fi but an ethernet connection to the web instead. Got online with my MacBook Pro - shared the internet connection which then allowed my iPod Touch to pick up the connection.

I have an ipod that i share with my daughter she put in a password and has forgotten what and is currently locked out of the ipod. How do we bipass this to create a new one or delete it all together without losing anything currently installed?

I have an ipod that i share with my daughter she put in a password and now cannot remember it an is locked out. How can we delete the currently existing useless password and not lose any of the information on the ipod?

If you cannot remember the passcode for the Screen Lock, you will need to Restore the device...
1) Connect to iTunes on the computer you usually Sync with and Restore...

How do I stop my iPhone from connecting to the WiFi connection that my laptop just used?

I have an iPhone (7.1.2) and MacBook Pro (10.9.4). When I connect to a WiFi connection on my laptop, my iPhone always connects to the same network, even though I've explicitly told my iPhone to forget about specific networks.This issue ends up disabling the internet on my iPhone, as I often connect to networks on my laptop that require VPN connections, logins, etc that I am unable or unwilling to do on my iPhone. How do I keep the two separate?

Let me give you an example. I'm at a United lounge at O'Hare Airport right now. They have WiFi here but it requires that you log on in order to connect to the internet. I connect to WiFi from my laptop. All good. Then, immediately, my iPhone connects to the same network. But because I haven't logged on from my iPhone, I can't get online. This kills the internet on my iPhone because I'm connected to a network with no internet access. If on my iPhone I "Forget this Network" and then come back next week, I'll find that it connects to the exact same network.
I travel a lot and almost all of the networks I use on a daily basis require a login of some sort.
I could turn off WiFi but then I have to remember to turn it on when I actually do want to connect to a network, like when I'm at home.
Any idea how to prevent the mirroring of WiFi connections? Or at a minimum make sure the "Forget this Network" option actually works?

Any wifi connection problems with new Macbook Pro 13" models?

I currently use a 15" Macbook Pro (about 3.5 years old) that has intermittent WiFi connection issues (intermittently loses signal). This seems to have been a very common problem with this laptop model. My kids, who use Macbooks, have no connection problems. In any case, I'd love to buy one of the new model 13-inch Macbook Pro's but hesitate because of my many issues with WiFi connectivity on my older Macbook Pro. Just wondering if anyone is experiencing connectivity problems with the new model?

I've never had Wifi connection problems with a Macbook and now with the 13" MacBook Pro I was flabergasted when I took my MacBook down the street to a coffee house with free WiFi. I went to connect to their WiFi and found my own WiFi connection listed. I thought this odd even though I was on the same block as my apartment, my apartment is six stories up. I connected to the Coffee Shop WiFi but it was really slow so I wondered if I could connect to my own home connection. I switched it over and lo-and behold I did connect! It was a good 300 feet away! I NEVER saw this with previously owned MacBooks including the black MacBook and the MacBook offered just before they moved the MacBook up to the Pro series.
So I'd say they have improved the WiFi nicely.

Wifi connection issue with mini Ipad

Hi,
Problem with the new mini ipad. wifi connection is fine but when accesssing online streaming TV sites, it is constantly disconnect itself and have to reconnect to the site before I coujld stream it again.
I have other devices connected to the same router fine without any issue.
Ipad works fine with the same site and connection
laptops work fine.
iphones work fine
only the mini ipad is not.
took to Genius bar, nothing much was done. Called support line, waited hrs for someone to tell me to make apt with Genius bar.
This has becoming very annoying and disappoiting with Apple products since Steve J is gone.
any help is greatly appreciate it.
Regards,

Try #5.
Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Wifi connection issues with Home Hub 5

Hi can any body help because I am starting to get very frustrated with the Home Hub 5 and it's wireless connection.
infinity 2 was installed at my house in the beginning of September, everything worked Ok for three weeks then for no apparent reason the hub kicked out all of my wireless devices (phones, kids iPods, tablets etc) at 6:45 one morning. When I got home from work I rang BT and was told to perform a Pin reset. This seemed to work but less tham 48 hours later at exactly the same time in the morning the hub kicked out all of my devices again, this time I just pressed the restart button on the top of the hub and everything reconnected but the Wifi range within my house had dropped. A few days later the hub kicked all my devices out again (each time it has done this the light on the hub has remained blue showing it is supposedly working OK)
One evening this week the hub of its own accord cycled through all the colours of lights indicating problems and that it was restarting. Today at 10:15 the hub kicked all my Wifi devices out again. I have contacted BT every time this has happened and told them about the poor range of the Wifi signal.
I do not want to be restarting/resetting my Hub every couple of weeks i need a permanent solution.
One of the reasons I switched from TalkTalk to BT when fibre became available was the fact that the Home Hub 5 was supposed to be the best provided router by any of the networks, being the only one that is an AC class router. The thing costs £130 if you want to by one. Quite frankly the £60 TP-Link dual band router I bought when I was with TalkTalk had a better range and was more stable. I would switch back to that if I knew BT's router settings (but they like to keep that a secret)
I really am beginning to regret switching from TalkTalk. Please someone restore my faith in BT.
Sorry for the lengthy rant but I hope you can understand why I've ranted for so long.
Nick

Hi imjolly
Sorry its taken a while to reply to your post.
I wanted to try BT's latest attempt at a solution before i tried your idea.
Since your reply the Home Hub 5 has dropped the Wifi connection to my devices another three times.
The second time less than 30hours after BT's so called fix, which was to make sure the 5Ghz channel was not syncing with the 2.4Ghz channel. Tonight it went again and BT's response was to take the router out of smart channel selection and manually select channel 9,6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz and 36,40,44 or 48 on 5Ghz. Well I havent even bothered with that, if the prats at BT would look at their records they would see they have already suggested that.
This HH5 is the most unreliable piece of garbage i have ever had the misfortune to use. WHY OH WHY did I leave TalkTalk
I have tonight tried your solution. Fingers crossed that this works.

Wifi connection intermittent with ipad... but fine with my other devices

wifi is working with my laptops, pc and smartphones. however, for some reason the two ipads would get intermittent connections and drop off very frequently. any ideas?

Others have posted similar reports on the forums. What kind of router do you have? What version of iOS is on your iPad? Did you always have these issues? When did they start?
I also have the connectivity problem between my Cisco WRVS4400N router and my iPad. My issues began immediately upon upgrading to iOS 4.2.1.
I've tried many (if not all) of the suggestions posted on the various threads in the forum. In the end I found exactly two router settings that made any difference.
1. Changing my router channel bandwidth from 20 mHz/40 mHz to 20 mHz caused a significant improvement in my iPad's network throughput. It nearly doubled as tested using the speedtest.net app available for download. +This did not, however have any effect on the connection drops.+
2. Changing my WPA2 key renewal interval from the default of 3600 seconds to 99999 seconds reduced the number of drop outs from "frequently" to 1 or 2 times a day. So it's not fixed, but reduced to the point of being tollerable instead of infuriating.
My opinion on the matter is that some part of the handshake that the WPA specification says must occur during a key renewal is failing. Since every other device I own works correcty--and even the iPad did prior to the upgrade, I assume this means that the problem lies on the iPad side, and not with my router. However short of putting my iPad and router into a faraday cage and analyzing the wireless traffic between them, I cannot confirm this.
The only suggestion I have had from apple support (and one you will see made frequently here) is to take my iPad to some unsecure wireless network and test it there. Which, of course, doesn't exercise the key renewal problem suggested above.
You should first contatct apple support and let them know you are having trouble. Have as much information as possible, and mention that others online are having similar issues.
Then, if they cannot help you, you can start with the suggestions here and in other threads.
Good luck.

IPod Classic to share with ICloud

I have my IPod Classic full of music from my CDs.. i wnt to share this with my IPhone and IPad. I bought the ICloud for Music.. how o I get this library to show in my ICloud?

In general, yes, you can simply plug a new iPod and sync it with your existing library. The only thing is new iPod often require a minimum version of iTunes, so the new 120GB Classic may be requiring iTunes 8, so if you don't use iTunes v8 yet, you may have to upgrade first, but your library should upgrade with it just fine.

Late 2013 15" Retina Macbook Pro - wifi connection timeout with one router

Hi,
I've recently purchased a new Macbook Pro retina 15 inch late 2013 model. Everything is fine at home, but at work I cannot connect to one wireless router (Netgear WAG102). The computer tries to connect but I get a connection timeout error after a few seconds for every attempt.
I have tried every suggestion for wifi issues that I can find on the forums, and have reset the router.
A colleague has also recently purchased the same computer except 13 inch model - he has exactly the same problem.
Any suggestions? I suspect given that two of us have the same problem that there is an incompatibility with the MBP and this particular router. I notice that there are quite a few discussions about similar issues with the macbook pro.

I too have a MBP Retina, 15", late 2013, and am having wifi connection issues. I've tried several fixes suggested on these discussions and by Apple. Nothing corrects the problem. I've been told it's my router, but I find that difficult to believe give that my wife has a MBP 13" 2012 (non retina), that has no issues at all, nor do our iPhones. It's just my MBP Retina.
My issue seems to be when waking from sleep, I lose the wifi connection. I have to turn wifi of then on again, and it reconnects. The only thing that corrects the problem for me is when I disable bluetooth. I have the magic mouse and it's basically useless becuase I need bluetooth on for it to work.
I find this to be an annoying problem. This is my first MacBook, and I really like it, but this wifi thing is bad. Never had this problem with my Windows machines.

Satellite M70-WiFi connection just with WEP or WPA

Hi,
I have the Satellite M70-164 with an Intel PRO set wifi adapter 2200BG with the latest driver.
My problem is that I can only connect to networks with security (with WEP or WPA), when I try to connect to "open" wifi networks the computer never establishes the conection, it says is "waiting for the network".
Any help will be appreciated.
Pedro

Hello Pedro
Try to use Restore Factory Default on your router settings and try again. I use WLAN for a long time and I have never heard about something similar but with Intel 2200 BG wireless card everything is possible. I have read many different topics about different issues with this card.
Bye

Anyone else having repeated wifi connectivity issues with the OSX version 10.8.5?

I just updated the software on my iMac to OS X version 10.8.5. Now I am having repeated connectivity issues with the wifi in my house. This is the only device that is having these issues. My phone, ipad and tv are not having any problems at all.
It happened immediately following the update. I was sending emails and browsing before the update without a problem.
from apple:

I had a message like that last week - only it asked what browser I would be using - I just quit safari - purges caches etc - and at that time noticed I was getting RSS feeds through PUBSUB - tracking them down to the top sites view I never use - I deleted all of the top sites (most of which I don't go into so it must have been a preset) that included MSN and Google - I don't use google so that was pointless. (deleting a top site means you are blocking it from that page) Have not had the message since so it must have had something to do with top sites activity.
Just a note: Did see somewhere probably BBC tech - that Google was going to stop supporting older web browsers.

IOS 6 wifi connectivity problem with iPhone 4s

After recently updating both my iPad 3 and iPhone 4S to iOS 6, I began to have problems with my wifi connection on my iPhone. When trying to connect to my home wifi, the iPhone seems to connect but then brings up the "Log In" screen with an Apple website loaded saying the page cannot be found. However my iPad, again also recently updated to iOS 6, has no problem connecting to wifi. Has anyone else experienced this conflict and is Apple working to correct this? My router is a standard U-Verse "2 wire" device. I have performed all the quick fixes I could think of such as restarting the router, restarting my phone etc. please help!

I have a similar fault with my Lexus ct200h fsport, updated to ios 8.1.1 on my iphone4s 64, and the bluetooth sometimes disconnects during calls then re-connects again (by this time the person on the end has hung up) .but bluetooth audio works fine. very frustrating!!
