Laptop to internet ok. Iphone to internet "connection to server failed"

Laptop to internet ok. Iphone to internet "connection to internet failed" can someone help me fix this?

I think bluetooth should be upgraded to allow to use
iPhone to connect to the Internet with any laptop
(i.e. Powerbooks or MacBooks), this is the only
feature I am really missing with the iPhone! Do you
think will be any software upgrade or third party
software allowing to do that? Thanks for sharing.
Wireless access from the iPhone is $20 a month. AT&T's unlimited access for laptops is $80 a month, and for other devices (PDAs, Blackberry, etc; the TOS forbids you to use the PDA as a wireless modem for a laptop) is $50 a month. Thus, if the iPhone COULD be used as a modem it would undercut all of the other wireless data services.
Anyway, you wouldn't really want wireless laptop access over EDGE; believe me, I've tried it. If you really need wireless access get a 3G aircard with a separate data plan. It's really worth the price to have DSL speeds over the cellular network.

    Yes if your iPad is a New iPad and you have a "hotspot" plan from your provider.

    BUT, I'm actually using the same pc/connection to leave this plea for help.

    Hi Rob,
    To bring the service back earlier today we had to temporarily fail over to secondary servers, allowing us to get the primary servers healthy again. Since the primary servers are higher performing, we attempted to fail back to them once they looked healthy. It seems there may still be an underlying issue on our primary servers. We're currently investigating and trying to get the service back healthy again. I'll follow up here once I have more news.
    Thanks,
    Shannon

  • No Internet Connection to Server - for a month.

    Hello,
    I have an 6 associates in the UK who are using Adobe FormsCentral and one is continuously getting the "No Internet Connection to Server" message for well over a month.The other associates in her area do not receive this message.  Can you please advise on how we can get this resolved?
    Ian

    Does your associate uses FormsCentral in the browser or the desktop version that comes with Acrobat XI?
    If using FormsCentral for Acrobat then can you ask them to try logging in here instead :
    https://formscentral.acrobat.com/SignIn.html
    If they are having trouble with the web version of FormsCentral can they clean their browser cache and try again?

  • IPhone 5 not connecting to server to get emails

    I have the Iphone 5 upon trying to open my email account I just recently started getting the message connection to server failed. I deleted my email account and when I tried to reenter email, I am receiving same message before even setting up account? Any ideas what to try next?

        chel71,
    Great question. I am sorry to hear that you are having problems. In the past we have noticed that this becomes a problem when the password has changed for the email account. If you have not changed the password, we suggest that you do go online and change the password. Once that is done put the new password in and it should work with no issues.

  • TS3899 the connection to server failed

    i have a IPhone and its telling me that cannot get mail:the connection to server failed.
    what can i do?

    Hi beverly2066,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    You referenced the correct article for troubleshooting your issue with your email.  What happens when you follow these steps?
    Try these basic troubleshooting steps first
    Tap Safari and attempt to load a webpage (try any webpage). If you can load a webpage, then your device has Internet access. If you are unable to load a webpage, follow these troubleshooting steps.
    Try to use an alternate Internet connection if available:
    Try a different Wi-Fi connection
    If your iOS device has an active cellular data plan, tap Settings > Wi-Fi and turn off Wi-Fi.
    If the affected email account is provided by your Internet provider, see if your issue is resolved while connected to your home Wi-Fi network.*
    Log in to your email provider's website to ensure that the account is active and the password is correct.
    Restart your iOS device.
    Delete the affected email account from your device.
    Tap Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
    Choose the affected email account, then tap Delete Account.
    Add your account again.
    Cheers,
    - Judy

  • Why does iPad say connection to server failed when I am at home and have wi-fi, Why does iPad say connection to server failed when I am at home and have wi-fi

    Why does iPad and 4s iPhone say connection to server failed.  I have been getting mail until this started popping up going to beat with sledgehammer

    Hi -I was having the above problems on both my ipad and iphone,  and I trawled the internet for hours and hours trying to find a solution to this.....tried  resetting both devices,signing back in to the mail app, and did a full reset of both iphone and ipad., I removed the email account from both devices too.. I knew that the problem occurred after receiving an email- as it happened whilst opening the email- you might not have realised that's what it was at the time?.... I tried deleting the email from both phone and ipad, and hotmail was working fine on a webpage,it was JUST the mail app that was giving the  error messages..... I was receiving the above message and ' cannot send mail- an error occurred while sending this message'  and ' cannot get mail- the connection to the server has failed' then I suddenly realised that even though I had deleted the mail from both ipad and iphone the message was still in trash, so I emptied trash and made sure the mail was completely removed from my hotmail account ANYWHERE and then the problem disappeared.....I think an email I received was maybe corrupt- I hope this at least helps someone and saves you the hassle it caused me!
    Good luck!!

  • I use Yahoo mail - when I attempt to get mail I get the message "Connection to Server Failed."

    I use Yahoo mail on my iPad Air - when I attempt to get mail I get the message "Connection to Server Failed."

    Try giving your iPad a reset. Hold down the sleep and home keys for about 20 seconds. When you see the silver apple, let go and let it reboot and try again.
    Are you trying to access your mail on your regular internet connection or on a new one? I know I have issues accessing my yahoo mail via the mail app if I'm on and AT&T hotspot.  But if I use safari to go in via the mobile site (m.yahoo.com)  I can access my mail. And yahoo also has their own mail app. So the 'how' may help find the issue.
    If it's a new to you hotspot then the best way to fix it may just be to work around it (using safari)
    Another thing to do could be to go into the settings, mail, contacts and calendars and delete your yahoo address then exit out, go back in and add the account back. Sometimes things get confuzzled and the best way to fix it is just to start over. Doing this should not effect your  mail account, it just deletes it off your device and then adds the info back in.

  • Cannot get maile connection to server failed

    followed the instructions for icloud set up in apple support for ipad and iphone even deleted the account and then set the account up with the correct ID and password.  I do use a different ID  than my apple ID for my icloud account.  I use my me.com email address.  I can get into the cloud on my pc and I can send and recieve email when I log into my icloud account but this fails to work on my ipad and iphone.  Attempts to seen or get email on these devices when on a wifi network end up with the message "cannot get mail connection to server failed"

  • "Connection to server failed" error with Gmail exchange server

    Hi,
    I upgraded my iPhone 4 to iOS 4.3 on Friday and now I can't access my Gmail account using the Microsoft Exchange settings, I just get a "Connection to server failed" error.
    I also have a Google Apps email account for my website and I am able to access it using exchange... it's just my regular Gmail account that I can't access (and that's where all my contacts are stored).
    I can access the account using the regular Gmail email settings but that doesn't sync my contacts over the air, which is the advantage of using Exchange that I love the most.
    I don't know if it is related or not, but I had a really hard time upgrading to iOS 4.3. I guess the update file was corrupt and it put my phone into restore mode. I had to use a different computer for the upgrade to finally work. Because I was using a different computer I had to restore it as a new phone rather than restoring from a backup, so maybe that has something to do with my email problem.
    Message was edited by: KJones75

    I seem to have solved the problem. I deleted my Gmail account from the phone and then changed my Gmail password from my computer, and then tried adding the account to my phone again... and surprise, surprise, it worked.
    I'm not sure why changing the password fixed the problem, but I'm glad it's working again.

  • Connection to server failed when selecting continue search on server

    Hi,
    I have a client that has an Exchange 2007 server and is having problems searching emails on their iPads (and iPhones). When they search and then hit continue search on server, it will come back with a "Connection to Server Failed"
    Client claims that it "used to work"
    anything we can tweak on the ipad or server to help?
