My 3G iphone seems to use slow GPRS rather than wifi, how come?

I know my wifi works fine as my pc is running of it, and my iphone was using the wifi up until a few days ago. Now my iphone seems to be using a slow GPRS connection which sometimes jumps to 3G.
It's really annoying as it's slower than wifi. It says it's connected to wifi in the settings with a full signal...but doesn't show the wifi symbol in the top left.
Please help!

How do you have settings set?  If you are connected to a wifi signal and do not move, your iPad should not summarily change over to 3G, unless the wifi signal is lost or very weak.  It could be when you are connected via wifi, the signal is weak, thus the turnover to 3G.  If I were you, I would absolutely turn off celular data when you have a strong wifi signal and I suspect your iPad is acting as it should......

  • How to tell AE CS6 to use bundled Mocha rather than Pro?

    I recently upgraded my bundled Mocha from AE CS6 to Mocha Pro 4, but for some unknown reason, it won't let me export shape data in Mocha.  There seems to be no data at all, as even trying to paste in Notepad results in nothing.  Tracking data, however, works fine (both in AE and Notepad).
    Since I cannot figure out any solution in Mocha, the only thing I can do is use bundled Mocha rather than Pro... but I do not know how to tell AE to use bundled Mocha rather than Pro when I click 'Track In Mocha' (...a setting which was changed when Pro was installed).
    Does anyone know where/how I can switch it to Mocha bundled when you click on Track In Mocha?  (or, does anyone have any idea why Pro would not export shape data, whereas the same project in bundled Mocha did?)
    If anyone has any answers or theories, please let me know ASAP, as I have a project I'm trying to complete, and (as luck always has it) the weekend is now upon us, and support is closed over the weekend.

    I tried connecting MBP and TC via Ethernet - after verifying the settings that you suggested - and it does not work: if I turn Airport off, Time Machine says it can't find the TC
    Any other sugestions?
    Ok, then ethernet is not getting an ip address from the TC and is plugged in wrongly..
    You still didn't give me any idea of what actual model the linksys is.. and why is it in the network.. Is it a modem router?? If you have cable internet just throw it away and use the TC.
    If you have the linksys as modem, then bridge it.. turn off wireless and run pppoe client on the TC.
    If the ISP does not allow pppoe client mode then simply use the TC in bridge. Turn off all wireless in the linksys and just use the TC.
    Still need info on how everything is setup to analyse the problem.

  • I have a separate apple id and my daughter bought a song using my ID rather than hers.  Now I've got this song that I don't care for and have no use for.  Is there a way to get it to her ID short of burning it on to CD and then uploading it to her phone?

    I have a separate apple id and my daughter bought a song using my ID rather than hers. She was playing on my computer and bought it, thinking it would download to her phone through the cloud. Now I've got this song that I don't care for and have no use for.  Is there a way to get it to her ID short of burning it on to CD and then uploading it to her phone?

    sure pretty simple.  make a backup of your current settings
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766?viewlocale=en_US
    then restore device from old backup you need pics off of
    then import pics to computer
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083
    you may need to save pics to camera roll first
    then restore the new backup and sync pics back to phone via itunes

  • How to set iPhoto to use yahoo webmail rather than mail.app

    When emailing from within iPhoto using the email icon or via the share menu option in the task bar, mail.app launches. I prefer to use (Yahoo) webmail, rather than use an email client, so how do I change this setting?
    Thx in advance.

    Mansel
    Simply: you can’t, I’m afraid. This feature requires an E-Mail Client that supports Apple Script. Yahoo Mail is a service (not an client) that’s accessed via a Web Browser and it’s not Apple Scriptable.
    FYI:
    There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
    *For Users of 10.5 Only*
    You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Apple-Click for selecting multiple pics.
    Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
    You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
    Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
    *For users of 10.4 and 10.5* ...
    Many internet sites such as Flickr and SmugMug have plug-ins for accessing the iPhoto Library. If the site you want to use doesn’t then some, one or any of these will also work:
    To upload to a site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
    This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. However, if you're using Gmail you can use iPhoto2GMail
    If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
    If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
    *If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running*:
    Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
    Other options include:
    1. *Drag and Drop*: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
    2. *File -> Export*: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
    3. *Show File*: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
    Regards

  • ThreadReaper object used with finalizer rather than finalizer on Timer?

    Timer class has threadReaper object used with finalizer rather than finalizer on Timer itself, can anyone explain the following snippet. what is the advantage of keeping the finalize in its references rathe rthan in the original object itself.
         * This object causes the timer's task execution thread to exit
         * gracefully when there are no live references to the Timer object and no
         * tasks in the timer queue.  It is used in preference to a finalizer on
         * Timer as such a finalizer would be susceptible to a subclass's
         * finalizer forgetting to call it.
        private Object threadReaper = new Object() {
            protected void finalize() throws Throwable {
                synchronized(queue) {
                    thread.newTasksMayBeScheduled = false;
                    queue.notify(); // In case queue is empty.
        };

  • Is it possible to create a drop down menu using form fields rather than text?

    Is it possible to create a drop down menu using form fields rather than text?

    Yes, correct - values of form fields. If one is blank, then the field would be blank - yes? If two or more have the same value that is fine.
    A standard dropdown ... As shown here. If there is an easier way to do this, I'd love to hear your suggestions. Thank you!

  • I have a doubt that my iPhone is a used one . Any tips on how i can check ?

    I plugged my newly purchased iphone 4s into my laptop to sync with i-tunes and it showed " Babajee's iPhone " , which i not me .
    Am hoping that its not a used one . When i bought the phone the shopkeeper entered his Apple Id to setup my phone .
    But for the login you need an email id and password . His email id was "ManishYadav" , then how did " Babajee's iPhone " appeared when i connected the phone with itunes . It should've been " ManishYadav " since the shopkeeper entered his Apple id .
    Am so confused .
    Can someone please advise .
    Thanks .

    Nothing to hide bro . Yes i bought it from a local re-seller and not from the store . They sell it for a lower price .
    Does it ask for the name on the first boot ? I saw a couple of iphone "first boot / startup" videos on youtube and during the startup it asked for the Apple id , but nowhere did it ask for the iPhone name .
    I heard the first boot screen only comes once when you start the phone for the first time . So if it was used then the first boot screen wouldnt have appeared ?
    Isnt it ?

  • Can I use album artist rather than Artist on my iPod160?

    The Artist selection on the iPod has its problems as "Album Artist" is not always the same as "Artist". I know I can correct the Cover Flow problems with Artist View by use of the Sort Artist option but I do have a few questions.
    I would rather display the Album Artist rather than Artist. Is this possible? I can do it in ITunes but cannot seem to do it on the iPod itself.
    Also, is it possible to do mass changes on Sort Artist rather than hit "next", paste the change, etc. Everything I try to mass change, Sort Artist is not an option.

    Hi,
    Unfortunately, the 'album artist' field is ignored on the iPod (I hope it one day will be 'solved'). If you mark albums with multiple artists as 'compilation', the album artist in iPod coverflow is automatically set to 'various artists'. And I haven't found a way to mass-edit the sort fields either

  • When I send a text message, the iPhone 4s sends it via email rather than to the mobile phone number I wish to message.  How do I change that default?

    My wife (who has a Droid) asked me to text a photo to her.  I went to Message on my 4s, selected my wife as the target for the text, selected the photo, and sent the text.  Rather than appearing on her mobile phone, the text went to her email.  When I selected my wife as the person I wanted to text, I was not given any choice of the target phone number or email address...it just defaulted to her email and did not tell me that is what it was doing!  I did find a solution, but it's more complicated.  I have to go to Contacts, select my wife, and then I'm given a choice of how I want to send the Message.  Why doesn't the iPhone do this in Messages in the first place?

    I am not sure what you mean.
    Do you mean the From field?
    You can change it by tapping it, it will give you options based on the other email accounts set up.
    You can set a default account here:
    Sttings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > scroll down to the Mail section & you will see Default Account. You can change that to your gmail account.

  • N8 - Use of WLAN rather than USB lead or Bluetooth

    Is there an application available for the N8 to allow the use of WLAN to copy files across to a PC, rather than having to use Bluetooth or the USB lead.
    I quite often use Bluetooth to transfer files such as Images but WLAN would be much faster.

    Dukto http://store.ovi.com/content/67131?clickSource=sea​rch will do that. You will need to also install it on your computer, link is in the store description. There was an issue with it defaulting to C: on the phone and filling the memory when transferring files to the phone, so make sure you check the settings - Although I think the developer was intending to solve the problem with this newer release - there is a thread about this somewhere on here, a search for Dukto should find it.

  • How to use a constant rather than a "getter"?

    I'd like to refer to a constant rather than a property using a "getter" (accessor), but I'm not sure how.
    For example:
    <f:selectItem itemLabel="Option1" itemValue="#{Constants.MINIMUM}"/>
    But of course this results in trying to call getMINIMUM(), which isn't what I'm trying to so.
    Any ideas?

    hi ,
    as far i know u cannot access a variable unless using a getter method !!
