N8 Wifi WHY?!?!!!!

OK,
I have a 6GB data plan per month on my N8 but why is it to upload YouTube Videos or download maps from OVI, I HAVE TO USE WIFI?
Downloading maps fails if there is no connection via Wifi
Uploading a video to YouTube give the" You need to be using Wifi to upload this video"
Does anyone know why Nokia would restrict me on uploading?
Anyway around this?
Thanks,

It is not a Nokia restriction and probably just the way you have set up the internet connection for Ovi Maps.
If you go to Settings>Connectivity>Settings>Destinations you will find that your access points can be filed under 3 categories, Internet, WAP services and Uncategorised. Click any one of those and you will find various access points files under each of them. You can move your access points between them by longpressing the access point. Within each category you can assign a priority level. Example, if you want your phone to always use wifi when available and use your data plan when not then move both access point to the same category, then assign a the wifi a higher level of priority.
Then you start Ovi Maps, goto Settings>Internet>Network destination, then specify the category of access points you want to use. The category chosen whould match the one you set up above,

Just bought iPhone 5 and try to use Wifi at home, but it cannot connect Wifi, whereas, my another iPhone4 can connect Wifi, why? how to resolve? Pls advise. Thanks.

Make sure you're updated to iOS 6.0.2, I know that has had something to do with Wi-Fi for a lot of people.

I can not use my itunes on my iphone or ipad unless i am within range of wifi. why??

Please help
I run a PA company (Big sound systems) and at events i play music through the system using my ipad or iphone. this has never been a problem until recently. since i updated my OS on my iphone4 and ipad2 i open itunes like normal, select a song and it tells me i can not play the song because it is on my cloud and i am not connected to the internet. as far as i know i never took my music off my phone or ipad and when i plug them in it even tells me space is being taken up on my phone from all the audio stored on it, yet i can not play a single track without connecting to the internet through wifi.
if i had internet everywhere there wouldn't be a problem but thats just not possible. some of the event i do are in the middle of no where and i cant be without my music. Also i can not use my phone like a personal music player like anyone else would just walking around with earphones because as soon as i go out of wifi range i can not play anything from itunes.
why did it have to change in the first place,
please help.

does that mean I can not buy a movie or tv show from itunes and watch it on my car tv through my iphone? Does that also mean I can not watch any video even the ones I take via the iphone camera? That makes no sense, f that is true what is the rational? And how come it works from the IPOD?

Super SLOOOOW file transfer from MacBook Pro Retina to Time Capsule over WiFi - why?

So I have been having a search around and it seems like the advice for folks complaining about ludicrously slow wifi transfers from their Mac to their Time Capsule is... to do it wired.
As you may know, the MacBook Pro Retina does not have a cable Ethernet port. So I have to buy a Thunderbolt-to-Ethernet adaptor (and a cable if I don't already have one) just to perform this basic task? Seems hard to believe.
MacBook wifi is showing as connected via 802.11n to the Time Capsule and the link speed is showing 217 Mbps in Network Utility.
So why is it so slow?

Thank you, LaPastenague - very complete answer!
How is the old NAS connected to the TC?
What actual speed are you getting?
It is important that when you select an option you stop other options from interferring.. ie.. turn off wireless when you do ethernet.
First, I had the NAS connected to the laptop (Dell XPS M1710, Win7 - (yeah, I know, but it does the job, still)) via USB, which generated about 900KB/S r/w speed,
then I tried connecting it via LAN to TC, but didn't succeed in getting TC recognize the drive,
lastly, I connected it via the USB port directly to the TC, and got ~900KB/S r/w speeds again.
In all scenarios, the laptop was connected via LAN as well (TC's WiFi was not disabled, though).
Then I read the above thread and tried finding DHCP settings. Found them in the "internet settings" in the airport utility, but not in the "dive settings", so I didn't know what to change there.
Strangely, the only thing that I changed was the TC-name, taking away a hyphen and a space (from "myname's TC" to "mynamesTC"), which resulted in faster r/w speeds, going from the 900KB/S to 1.5MB/S (still not what I expected).
Also that any copying of files will be a loop, old NAS--Computer.. Computer--TC
Got it. Tried to provide a faster connection by directly connecting old NAS to TC via USB, but makes sense.
Each connection is just as impportant as the other. Plus you can see the computer must handle every packet in a double hop tx, rx tx rx for each one. So using gigabit all the way is vital.
Will try again connecting old NAS to TC via GB-LAN, and have it recognize it, and provide and update here.
This is best done in full isolation from internet.. just setup so you can do the copy overnight.
I was planning on doing several actions of moving files in a session of re-organizing, and am not really keen on waiting 4-6hrs between each step. The old NAS shall host all videos later, as it is recognized by the PS3 when connected via USB, while the TC shall host all photos and music, which I am rather accessing from the laptop's itunes.
And also to realise lots of very small files can copy extremely slowly.. no matter how fast the connections are.. it is heaps of small files that cause copying to take forever because files are written to the disk and then file allocation tables are filled in for every one. It is why a backup is much faster as files are compressed into single large file. Or like TM using 8KB bands where the file ends are handled differently to normal disk.
That will have added to the slow-ness of the session last night, as I was copying 25GB of photos which took 6hrs (***). So that would have been faster if I compressed them to .zip before moving? (not because it reduces size, as it barely does, but becuase it puts many small files into one big one?)
Just moved a 164MB vid from laptop to old NAS (which is still connected to TCs USB port, while laptop to TC via WiFi): result: 1minute40secs @ 1.70MB/S.
Then moved same vis from laptop to TC: 1minute55secs @ 1.80MB/S (gaining write speed slower that old NAS, therefore taking longer despite higher final speed).
So, is there any further improvement / setting that I could change (DHCP / NAT) to get to higher r/w speeds, like the 6.75MB/S quoted above?
Thank you again! MFP

I can't open wifi, why?

I can't touch the Wifi buttom. So i can't go on wifi at all, why?

Follow the steps here: iOS: Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim .
If these don't work then your iPod probably has a hardware problem.

I have an ipad mini 16G wifi - why can't I send SMS txt msg and only imessages? On the settings, there is no option for "send SMS when imessage not available" like on my iphone.

Why can't I send SMS messages from my ipad mini 16g wifi?

Even when your iPad Mini has a 3G cellular modem onboard, the iPad Mini still can NOT send or receive SMS Text messages.
The 3G modem is only used for a internet data connection and has no software to either send or receive SMS text messages even though the hardware is available.
I can confirm this with the iPad Mini iOS6.1 with 3G cellular modem.
Apple Support has this issue currenlty under investigation - you can follow this issue here:

Having trouble signing up for verizon monthly wifi why will it not accept my phone number?

We are trying to sign up for monthly wifi with verizon. Why will it not accept our phone number?

That's an issue you will probably need to take up with Verizon customer support.

HT4528 my iphone 4 will not connect to my wifi, why?

Try going to Settings-General-Reset- Reset Network Settings. You will need to reenter your wifi passsword to your network.

Wifi - why is it necessary?

I didn't buy my ipod touch it was a gift, but I like it.
The necessity to have wifi to connect to the internet through safari seems a waste. I don't intend buying wifi for my PC just so I can run ipod touch - so why can't ipod connect through normal broadband that my PC uses?
This severly limits the machine. I know wifi is so that I can connect anywhere, but if I want to connect at home (example to register - can't get a register connection through my broadband) seems a total waste of computing power.

Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions.
You don't need to add WiFi to your PC. All you need is a very cheap wireless router connected to your broadband modem. Hardly anyone would use the iPod touch as a mobile internet device if it had to tether itself to either a USB or Ethernet broadband system in the home. When you're out in town WiFi is the only option anyhow. I guess as Apple has shipped WiFi as standard for many years now on all Macs bar the professional Workstations it just makes sense to use the most common technology.
You don't have to have WiFi to enjoy an iPod touch however.
cheers

However, frequently it does not work (as mentionded in the article) and you have a hardware problem.

Why can't lion stay connected to wifi, why can't lion stay connected to wifi

since i upgraded to Lion, my computer cannot stay connected to my wifi network, I'm the only user on the network, my iphone and ipad stay connected, when I had snow leopard it stayed connected, but lion boots me off my network every 2 minutes and it takes 10 min to reconnect when coming out of sleep or screen saver.
this is the worst OS apple has ever released and if i could go back to snow leopard I would, but i cannot because of icloud.
In my opionion, this is bull crap

I had a similiar issue where under 10.7.3 it would be consently searching for WIFI even when it was connect and would drop the connection numerous times throughou the day . Since updating to 10.7.4, the problem has gone away. I would recommend updating if you haven't already

Wifi working fine for iPad but none of my MacBooks can connect to wifi why?

My iPad connects to my wifi network just fine, but none of the three laptops in the house connect. One is a one-year-old MacBook Air, another is a Pro around seven years old, and one's even older than that running an older OS (Lion) so the age of the laptop doesn't seem to be a factor. The phones also connect the the wifi network, it's just the laptops. What happens is the wifi tries to find a network, then doesn't connect to any, although our network shows up in the drop-down menu of networks. But if you click on it an error message comes up that says a connection timeout occurred and offers to run diagnostics (It doesn't offer diagnostics on the oldest laptop). Turning wifi on and off, going into network preferences, restarting the computers and the router, none of it does anything. The same issue happened yesterday, identical in every way, but it worked after turning the wifi on and off. This time it's been severeal hours and it shows no signs of fixing itself.

Thanks for the reply - we actually managed to solve it by removing some extra devices from using Wifi, so it seems like It was an update to the firmware (as you thought) which limited the number of devices on wifi at once. Thank you though!

My blackberry gets wifi, why won't my itouch?

In my office, I have my blackberry sitting right next to my itouch. The blackberry is getting perfect wifi, with a strong signal. My itouch, cannot even seem to detect the wifi network that the blackberry is receiving (and using).
1. what's going on?
2. how do i fix this?
The itouch DOES pick up wifi elsewhere. But it seems many times less sensitive then the blackberry. Is it the itouch case? Could it be something else? What's really going on here?

I think SirBlue may have the answer. It sounds very much like your office network is not broadcasting its SSID (name). If you know the network name, tap Settings > WiFi > Other and manually enter the network name, security, and password.

When i connect my iPhone to WiFi, why does it make my internet slow?

Ok so the other day the weirdest thing happened to my internet, so i noticed that my internet speed was running ridiculously slow and like always i tried resetting the router which usually solves it, but it didnt. it turns out the problem was my moms iPhone, i know this because i tested this, i would run a speed test without her phone connected and i would get about 14down/1up and then i would run a speed test with it connected getting about .5down/.1up. My mom wasnt using any apps or anything that would use internet so something on my moms iphone was using the internet without us knowing and a lot of it. What could cause this to happen? Also as of the past couple days its starting to act normal again even with her phone connected. Our Wi-Fi is only hooked up to my iPhone, my sisters laptop and my moms iPhone. I even tried restoring the phone and although it didnt even have any apps installed or no browser open it would still use internet! And yes we have a password for the Wi-Fi. Please give me a good explantation for this, this has never happened to me before. I also noticed that when my moms phone wasnt connected the light on our modem would barely flash at all but as soon as i connected it the light would flash contstantly. As of the last few days it has been working fine but what would have caused this?

Setting up your phone "as new iphone" is covered in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137
Before you connect to a new PC, make sure that autosync is disabled in Edit/Preferences/Devices, otherwise your phone will be wiped during the following sync.
If you have data on the phone you want to save, back up manually:
Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your phone to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your phone without syncing. Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
When you connect your phone for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards. Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the phone for the first time.
Since changing your iTunes library will erase your phone again, do the same process when you change back to your normal PC.
