Logging onto a WiFi hotspot

I'm trying to log onto WiFi at Starbucks. My Pre sees the network (AT&T WiFi) with a strong signal. But usually this network requires me to give a username and password when opening a web page. When I open my browser it does not take me to a log in page. This makes me think that I am being connected through the phone/3G browser and not through the WiFi. Any suggestions on how to bypass the phone browser in order to use the WiFi?
Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Sprint)

Try connecting to a network with an ethernet cable and see how it performs. If that is also not responding this would indicate a possible software error.
problem with my battery and all the owner's said that you just have to take it to the Apple store and get a new batter)? If I can't take care of the the defect(s) here is there any way to extend my warrenty for a month
Apple does not cover batteries under warranty as batteries do loose their capacity over time. If a battery suddenly stops working then apple may look into that. You would have to speak to apple care about that.
You cannot extend a warranty for 1 month you could purchase apple care and get 2 years of extended warranty. Although if the problem is reported to apple care prior to your warranty expiring then you may be ok, but I stress you would have to talk to apple care directly about this.
Why not take the mac into the apple store I am sure you can make an appointment to see an apple genius anywhere in the world.

How Exactly Are You 'Meant' To Log Onto BT Wifi?

Can someone tell me what exactly are you meant to use to log in to a hotspot ? Is it the BT ID/Password you access your online customer account with? Is it the @btinternet.com with the same or different password? Is it something else?
We got BT Infinity this past Monday (that bit works fine).
We can see/access the local hotspots (BT Wifi/FON), but they fail to recognise our logins details as valid.
When I use our valid BT ID/Password on the "Check the status of your BT Wi-fi account" page, it reports "Enter valid Username". If I switch it for the @btinternet.com address we were given, it says "Authentication failed. Invalid username or password" .
The "Register for BT Wi-fi", section says "Enter valid Username" or "Resubmission Error!" respectively.
To make matters even more confusing, when our broadband was originally switched over to BT from Plusnet (but the engineer had not arrived yet) I phoned up to ask how to access a hotspot, and a lady in one of the Indian call centres gave me a string of numbers to use as a username/password (eg 10563482 cgnywtbe). Suffice it to say this made no sense, nor did it work.
So exactly what is the correct process?

I can't log onto my WiFi with my Touch

I'm using my Touch, AirPort Express and the remote app to control iTunes and play music through my stereo.
I like it but I'm having some problems. For some reason I can't log onto my own wifi with the touch when I have the wireless network secured, even when I type in the networks password. When I have the wireless security disabled it works fine but when I make the wireless connection secure I can't log on.
Does anybody know how I can solve this problem? I love the set up but it does me no good if I'm vulnerable to hackers. What am I doing wrong?
I don't know if it matters but I have a Linksys router.

I have a PC if this helps.

How do i log onto public wifi

hi, i am a relative newcome to ipad. how do I log onto wifi in a public place?

Use Settings > Wifi. This will show you a list of WiFi networks that your iPad can see. Public networks are usually not locked (no padlock icon - which requires a password to sign on). To signon touch the network name. Many public sites will direct you to a web page to agree to conditions of use on their network.

I can not get my ipod 4 gen to log into Free Wifi hotspots. It shows that it is connected but I have to internet activity. I was at several hotspot locations last night and could not get on any, but other people were. HELP.

I can not get my Ipod 4 Gen to log into free WIFI hot spots. It shows that I am connected but I have no internet activity. I was in several hot spots last night and could not log in, other people were, but I could not. HELP!

- Did the other users who successfully connected have iDevices?
- Frequently you have to open Safari/a browser and agree to the terms and conditions of the wifi spot before yo can get to the internet. Some wifi spots use Flash or Java to log on which the iPod (and other iDevices) do not support)
- Have you tried resetting network settings: Settings:General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- Does you Ipod successfully connect at home?.

My MacBook logs onto the wifi but not my iPhones or iPad? What to do?

Macbook
iPhone 3GS just moved to Version 5
iPhone 4 just moved to Version 5
iPad
My MacBook has successfully logged on through an airport device in a new location, after a reconfiguration. However our iPhones and iPad don't want to follow. It shows the network icon but when an app is launched, it says it's not connected to the internet.
I have reset 'network settings' and also rebooted, without success (with retyped password).
What next?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
Christian

Thank you bob Timmons!
I did as you suggested elsewhere on this site.
If you have a simple modem (only 1 ethernet port) check to make sure that the Connection Sharing setting on the AirPort Extreme is set correctly.
AirPort Utility - Manual Setup
Click the Internet icon
Connection Sharing = Share a public IP address would be the correct setting.
Then try a full modem reset and power cycle as follows
Push the reset button on the modem
Power the modem down
Pull the battery if it is easily accessible
Leave the modem off at least 30 minutes
Power down the rest of the entire network
Start the modem first, let it run 4-5 minutes by itself
Start the AirPort Extreme, let it run 4-5 minutes by itself
Then start each device up one at a time"

Need to FORGET previous wifi connection to log onto same named wifi

I can not log onto a wifi connection, with the name of NETGEAR with my MacBook, but I can with my iPod. I assume my MacBook has logged onto a Netgar connection sometime in the past, locked with a password.
But now my friend has wifi also called Netgear, and it's not locked with a password. She can get right on, and it doesn't show a little lock after the name (under the airport menu). I cannot get on, and it DOES show a lock after the name Netgear. When I try to get on anyway, it says there has been "an error. Try again later".
However, my newer iPod can log right on to my friends Netgear wifi, get my email, etc., so i assume it doesn't have the same problem remembering an old netgear logon.
I've gone into system preferences, chosen Network, chosen Airport, clicked on Advanced, and I see a list of "prefered networks". I found a Netgear, selected it and hit the - button, and it went away. But it didn't solve my problem, even after I rebooted the whole computer.
I don't want to uncheck "remember any network", because some I do want to remember.
What can I do?
thanks for your help

I'd guess that you have more than one 'Netgear' network saved.
Netgear is a popular router, and it's likely you've encountered more than one Netgear router besides the one you're trying to connect to. There may even be more than one in your neighborhood.
In Network Preferences, Advanced, even though only three networks are displayed, scroll through the entire list to make sure that there is no other Netgear network remaining. When you add it back in, make sure it has 'none' displayed under Security, to be sure you have the right one.

Problems logging onto the Cloud wifi

I have the Cloud wifi set up on my iphone and ipad and they've worked fine for a year or so. In the last couple of months I haven't been able to access the internet through it though. It loads up the signing in page and after entering my username and password it takes me to the welcome page showing my devices as normal. However, whenever I try and navigate away from that it just takes me back to the signing in page. Any help?

My problems logging onto the Sky Cloud wifi still remain. I have tried amending my user name and deleting and reinstalling the app, all to no avail. To try to clarify what happens once more: 1) I am in a Wi-Fi Hotspot (yesterday, for example I was in Pret-a-Manger in Brighton). 2) My iPhone 4S picks up the wi-fi availability 3) I use the iPhone Safari web-browser to log onto Google (it also works if I use Yahoo) 4) I am re-directed to the relevant Cloud log-on options. So far so good. 5) I select the Cloud "Get on Line" option and am eventually redirected to the Sky Cloud Wi-Fi page, which confirms I am logged on, confirms my name and confirms my iPhone device. Again, all good so far. 6). Now the problems start. I go back into Google (or any other website) and am then redirected back to the Cloud log-on options again (see point 4 above). 7) I select CLoud "Get on Line" option and am redirected to the Sky Cloud Wi-Fi page again which still confirms I am logged on (see point 5 above). 8) This loop then continues forever until I give up. In short, I am obviously logged on but for some reason cannot get beyond that stage. On some occasions I am given the option to download the Sky Wifi app, which is a bit pointless because (a) I already have this on my iPhone, and (b) since I am not properly connected anyway, I cannot connect to the iTunes Store in any case (an error message tells me this)!! I have tried logging on both through the method as describeed above, and also by skipping Point 3 and instead clicking directly onto the Sky Wifi app, but all that does is take me to Point 4 and then the problems continue. Please help. I never had this issue before Sky took over the Cloud and I am becoming increasing frustrated. Thank You.

Hi... I've had my IPhone 4S since January 13, and it doesn't have the option to use it as a wifi hotspot? When all my friends iphones do. Is there a way to install in onto my phone? Or what do I need to do to get it??

Whether you can use your phone in this way is entirely the responsibility of your phone company/carrier. You need to contact them to see if you can add tethering to your phone plan. Be warned though that it could get rather expensive, so if you don't really need it, then do without, but in any instance, you need to contact your phone carrier.

Having difficulty logging onto a home wifi network after having installed latest iOS

Having just downloaded the latest iOS, I can't now log onto my home wifi network. Anybody else having a similar issue?

Try restarting your WiFi router by removing power for 30 seconds.
On your iPad use Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings

4S will not log onto any secure WiFi Networks

Up until 2 weeks ago my 4S was working fine with all WiFi networks. I was traveling in Vancouver last week and tried to log onto the hotel WiFi. It was password protected and my phone would state "incorrect" password even with the correct password. My laptop, my wife's 4S and my son's 4S could log into the WiFi but my phone couldn't. I wrote it off as an anomaly but now that I am back home I am having the same issue with my home WiFi that's password protected. I have synced my phone, I have done a hard reset and I have done a network reset but nothing works. We have 6 other devices connected to the WiFi but I keep getting an incorrect password error.
I believe something in the iOS is corrupted and I am going to do a restore. However, just wanted to see if anyone has any tips or similar experience because the restore is a little bit of a hassel.
Thanks.

If the same issue occurs at multiple locations then the issue is with the device. You're well within your warranty so you need to call to setup a free repair/service on your device. Or go to an Apple Retail Store.
And yes, Apple wants to be paid because it's a paid support line after 90 days.

Why can I not access My iPhone on my Air - they have the same cloud account - same iTunes - logged onto the same wifi network... and connected via USB - difficult much?!its killing me ahhh my screen smashed and i want access to my iPhone on my macbook

find my iphone is something one needs to activate on the phone itself using the same appelID is nowhere near enough
if it is then one can track, play a sound and remote whipe it from
www.icloud.com
if your screen is smashed and you think you can use find my iphone to get any data from your phone you are sadly mistaken

My phone was hacked at a wifi hotspot, and my email address logged in the mail centre was compromised.. Could they have installed a keylogger on my phone? Is there anything I have to do to my phone to ensure its safe from this particular attack?

I changed all my passwords, but I'm just wondering if that's all I have to do.. Is there any extra measures you would take? Could they have installed malware on my phone? I will never connect to a wifi hotspot ever again. I'll just use 3G!

I have this really old email account that I haven't used properly in years, it was automatically set to log in the mail centre of this old iPhone I barely use, and was only using because my other phones battery had died, and I was at the park, bored, so I got the old phone out of my bag, I use it as an emergency phone for when my battery dies, but anyway, I logged into the hot spot, then a few days later my old email account had sent out a mass email saying "I am stranded in Thailand, please send money to this account" to my entire contact list, my sister sent me a text notifying me, and I quickly logged on and it said "looks like someone else is using your account" so I got texted a code, entered the code and regained access to my hotmail account, checked the sent folder and there were tons of sent messages..haven't used this account for many months before that, and I never log into public hotspots usually, it was a one off thing I did from that old phone because I thought I had no email account logged in, or any personal information, since I hadn't used it in ages, but I was wrong, as I learnt afterwards! So I'm absolutely certain, without a doubt, that it occurred at the hot spot. I looked it up online and apparently it is quite common, so I'm just wanting to make sure they can't still access my data.

Problems logging in to wifi/Fon hotspots

Hi guys,
Seen a few people who have this problem but none of the posts state the solution.
The problem I'm having is that I cannot log into any BT Fon/wifi hotspots when I'm out and about. I keep getting a message that my username/password is incorrect.
I've checked that I'm opted in
The email is my primary one
The email address/password is correct as I can log in and check my emails just fine.
Any help would be brilliant.
Regards

DD is right, but you also need to make sure that you're using a btinternet.com email address; although BT Yahoo! will accept other domains (eg btopenworld.com), BT WiFi won't. Actually, you can just use the user name (the bit before the @) for BT WiFi.
