My iphone 3gs wont connect to the internet unless on wifi, can you help?

i bought an iphone 3gs yesterday and on the whole everything is going well so far, however i can only use the internet on my phone if im connected to wifi, which limits me to only being able to use it at home or free wifi in resturants etc and i would like to be able to use it anywhere, surely i can? any suggestions?

Settings>General>Resets>Reset Network Settings.
If that doesn't fix it, contact your carrier and find out if there is a problem in your area.
If not, then try a hard re-set (hold power and home together until you see the Apple logo).
If that doesn't work, restore.
If that doesn't work, restore as new.
If that doesn't work, make an appointment at the genius bar.

Not even close. I've read through hundreds of questions and responses to this is. Here's a summary of the issue - it's a pretty simple problem. iPod touches and iPhones are not recognizing CORRECT network passwords. Key word is "CORRECT". The problem appears to be random, meaning that it occurs sometimes after an update and sometimes after you've disconnected from the network. There is no pattern. If you are truly experiencing the issues of an unrecognized correct password, there is little hope. In all of the threads I've read through there has been no solution. Recreating a home network, changing security level from WEP to WPA, changing the channel used by the router, resetting iPod/iPhone network settings, powering off router, modem, etc. Folks, none of it works. There is no known solution to this issue. Last resort is to restore the device. I'm doing that now - will check back with an update.

Try restarting
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the home button together until the apple logo appears (ignore the ON/OFF slider) then let both buttons go and wait for phone to restart (no data will be lost).

ERRORS found during the burning process #-34506...any idea what this means?

ERRORS found during the burning process #-34506...any idea what this means?
This one project I want to copy to DVD keeps saying this when I go to burn (that is after nearly 2 hrs of processing). There is nothing wrong with the movie so i don't know why i'm having such a problem burning it. i guess to start i'd need to know what this code means (I couldn't find it in iDVD help).
thanks in advance

First I'd be certain that I had changed the preferences from best quality to best performance.
Did you follow the chapter rules?
*Make sure no chapter markers are within two seconds of the start or end of the timeline.
*Make sure no chapter markers are within a transition.
*Make sure no chapter markers are within two seconds of the end of a transition.
You may have already done this, but
Quit iDVD. Search for the file named com.apple.iDVD.plist and trash it. (A new one will be created next launch of iDVD.) Or look in: User/Library/Preferences. This may solve project loading errors too. Restart and use Disk Utility to Repair Permissions.

Time Machine reporting "The backup was not performed because an error occurred while copying files to the backup disk". Anyone have any idea what's gone wrong?

After months of working OK Time Machine is reporting "The backup was not performed because an error occurred while copying files to the backup disk". Anyone have any idea what's gone wrong?

Wierd!
I followed #C3 and loaded Time Machine Buddy, which was defnitely helpful, then deleted the file that the backup failed at, but after 3 more attempts I stopped deleting or excluding files as this wasn't improving the situation.
The recommendation is to exclude those files from being backed-up, not to delete them!
Updating boot support partitions for the volume as required:
Yes, that's a bit misleading. It just means that will be done, if it's required, which it isn't on your backups.
I have no idea if anything actually was changed however just when I had given up and walked away, TM has started working after a week of failing.
It probably did find and fix something. Just for reference, Disk Utiltiy usually shows the progress and repair messages in the center part of the window, but often doesn't when repairing a sparse bundle on a network. You can see the messages at any time by clicking the Log icon in the toolbar, or select Window > Show Log from the menubar.
Anyway, glad it's sorted out!

TS1398 My Iphone 5 wont connect to my home wifi but other devices will. What do I do?

I went away for a weekend and when I came home my iphone would not connect to my home wifi. I have tried everything I could think of. Reset the phone, the network settings, the router everything that I could possibly think of. Other devices will connect to the wifi but just not the phone.

Remove all power from the router for about 15 seconds. If that doesn't fix it check if you have MAC filtering enabled on the router. If you do the iPhone needs to be added to the Allowed list.

I'm getting a blank 'FAQ" windown on my mac after closing Google Chrome or on start up. Any ideas what it is, what is causing it and how to get rid of it?
Many thanks

Try another browser such a Safari. If you get the same issue then it's probably the site, if it works OK on another browser then it's probably Chrome and you should re-post on a Chrome forum discussion board.
