N97 trying to connect to the internet *wasting my ...

I've been using this phone for atleast a month now. and i've noticed in the log my phone keeps on trying to connect to my home wi-fi, and if that isnt available it tries to connect to Vodafone AU Internet (one of the accesss points). now this costs me money as i am on prepaid!! I'm not using any widgets that require to go online, i put it in idle mode and it tries to connect. i dont even know where its going to.
Can someone suggest to me what is happening? do i have a virus!?
thanks

Before anything else I gotta tell you, having a phone like this with pre paid service is not a very smart Idea but anyways that's beside the point, ummm, lets see, I personally don't have Amazon or Time lite or lever or counter or blackboard or compass or Windows live messenger, I don't see how those have anything to do with data usage, I'd say delete the AP news and Bloomberg, I don't see how you need them right now, just to see if that helps your situation. What do you use for email? And one more thing, go on and do this for me:
Menu->settings->connectivity->admin setting->packet data->packet data connection change that to when needed and also change the access point to none
and also go to
Menu->settings->connectivity->destinations-> internet->and go under which ever packet data you use and change the setting for use access point to after confirmation, mines on automatic since I have a data plan. Try those two and then also tell me what email you use we should figure this problem out. But the I say if you get rid of Bloomberg and AP news and accuweather and try the stuff I said we I'd say your problem should be solved. You can always install them back one by one and if the problem comes back then you know what program causes it.

Re: Satellite C660-1LD Blue screen whilst trying to connect to the internet

I've been having a lot of trouble with trying to get my laptop to connect to the internet, when I was attempting to troubleshoot it, the blue screen appeared and it shut down, I didn't have enough time to read all of the information so I'm not really sure why it appeared. The laptop restarted and still couldn't connect to our wireless network, I tried numerous system restores which couldn't complete even though I tried it after I deactivated my AVG protection.
Eventually it connected and I was able to go on the internet for a short period of time with a very temperamental connection, it then disconnected again after about 15 minutes, I struggled to get it to connect again but when I eventually did the connection seemed fine and didn't drop.
I shut it down and when I turned it back on I had the same problem again, it wouldn't connect, the troubleshooter couldn't fix the problem, although a few times it identified the problem as a "problem with the wireless adapter". I tried everything I could think of, more system restores, re-installing the "network adapters" under the device manager, changing the power options to maximum for the wireless adapter and checking the the computer doesn't turn it off the save power, removing all wireless networks and then trying to reconnect to them. After about 2 hours I managed to get it to connect again after rebooting it in safe mode and the connection is fine now.
However I'm worried that I'm going to have this issue every time I turn my laptop on to go on the internet. I'm also very concerned about the "blue screen" that came up, it hasn't happened again and that was the first time I've ever seen one and I've been told by friends that its pretty severe and is known as the "blue screen of death". I don't know if this is anything to worry about or whether it was just a one off? Is it possible that my laptop could have some sort of virus or bug? Or a possible hardware problem? Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
I'm fairly certain that this is a problem with my laptop and not the wireless network as I can access the internet on my iPhone and the internet is working perfectly on all of my housemate's laptops.
Thank you

No its the original OS that I bought it with, its only the wireless connection that it seems to struggle with, it seems to be working fine since I had the issue with the blue screen, and when I had that issue I tried it with other wireless networks and it still wouldn't connect to any of them.
Since then a few times its struggled to connect at first but has in the end, I'm concerned that something inside the laptop could have gone wrong being the reason for the blue screen and the dodgy connection to the internet as I've never had any hint of a problem with it before. My laptop is just over a year old and I do use it a lot and regularly take it out and about when I go to University and travel to and from my hometown, so could it be its just wearing out? As I once got told laptops don't have a particularly long life if you are always moving them and travelling with them.
Thanks!

Why is the SMS app trying to connect to the internet?

Hi all,
I have an iPhone4 on a pre paid sim, and I noticed that my credit/load was being used up even though I had all push notifications etc turned off. I change the APN so that the phone couldn't connect to the internet without me knowing.
So now, each time I open the SMS app I get the message of "Could not activate cellular data network", so for some reason the SMS application is attempting to access the internet each time it is opened, and this is the reason why my credit/load was being used up.
I have NO MMS messages in my inbox so there is no reason that i can see why the app would try to connect to the internet.
Interestingly enough, this used to happen on my old iPhone 3G, however it suddenly just stopped one day.
So my questions is two fold...
1) Why is SMS connecting to the internet?
2) How the **** do i stop it?
Thanks

nick <<<SMS sends/receives data over the cell phone network - it doesn't access the internet. The reason it tries to access the network when you start it is to check for any SMS messages you have and also, I suppose, to establish and validate a connection so that you can send or receive when you need to.>>>
so does the above mean that if someone sends an sms it doesn't come through until you click on the message icon to check for them? i am having problems with delayed sms/mms but find that the backlog all come through sometimes when i have 'woke' the iphone, click on message app or launched an app.
Any thoughts ?
No - what ought to happen is that the SMS message is pushed straight to your phone. If you're in an area of weak service, the SMS messages might not be able to get through straight away and, when that happens, it can sometimes take a long while after you move to an area of good signal for the messages to arrive. I recently spent some months working in a building where my carrier (O2 in the UK) had very poor to non-existent reception. People would SMS me during the day and, even though I came out of the building frequently, I often didn't get the messages on my phone until late evening.
Hope that helps

Error 769 when trying to connect to the Internet

My computer connects to the Internet via an ADSL connection. The modem is set in bridge mode.
However, when I attempt to connect, I am met with an error 769. The Windows support site says this means my network card is turned off. The instructions provided revealed to me that Windows can only see my FireWire port.
If I had my way, I would never need to connect this garbage OS to the 'net, but Microsoft needs me to activate my installation. Is there a solution to this problem?

Got rid of XP. Much happier now.

When trying to connect to the internet i keep getting safari isnt connected to internet and im at home and my computer is connected not sure what happend but having trouble with my 3g phone and internet

You can only add music to iTunes Match from your iTunes library on your computer, not from your iOS device. If you have music on your iPad that is not on your computer, you'll have to import it to your iTunes library on your computer to add it to iTunes Match.
Music purchased from the iTunes store can be imported directly to your iTunes library by authorizing your computer for the Apple ID(s) used to purchase the music (in Store>Authorize This Computer), then connecting the iPad to your computer, opening iTunes and going to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases. Music from other sources will require using 3rd party software to transfer to your computer, such as Touch Copy.

I turned off cellular data, and data roaming while traveling abroad. I turned them back on upon arriving back home, but now only the wi-fi features works when trying to connect to the internet. Texting works, no internet function works unless wi-fi???

I turned off my cellula data and data roaming while abroad. I turned them back on when returning home. But now I can only access internet and mail functions when on wi-fi. texting works. The 3G access to the internet isn't working now. 3g is on. What do I need to do to restore non-wi-fi internet function. Roaming is on s well. ?????

Try to reset your iPhone:
Settings>>General>>Reset>>Reset All Settings
You will need to rejoin all wi-fi and/or bluetooth connections
You will need to set up your settings of your choice.
Information (such as contacts and Calendars) and meida (such as music, videos, apps) are NOT affected.

I have the airport express and trying to connect to the internet on my Vizio and can't find a code to put in to connect..

I have the airport express and trying to set up internet service on my TV (Vizio) but having no luck.... I need a code to enter in order to connect! Can you help?

Hi - you might be getting full bars but a slow connection - games can be very sensitive to this - have you tried connecting via ethernet to see if it is better? - however if your wireless speed is good too then it could be a ps3 issue and a call to their support might help - otherwise there could be interference issues, radio channel conflicts, etc. - without knowing the specific aspects of your entire network environment it is hard to make any more suggestions.

Can no longer connect to the internet with the 580...

Hi, my PC was able to connect to the internet with my 5800 via a USB cable. Now, I can no longer connect to the internet with the 5800 via a USB cable.
I had never tried connecting the computer to the internet with the 5800 via Bluetooth prior to this incident, so I tried that. Strangely, it works.
My question is how come I can no longer use the 5800 via USB as a modem, but how come the 5800 via Bluetooth still works as a working modem?
Sorry, if my sentences are confusing. I have a terrible headache at the moment. While the Bluetooth connection works, I just feel better using the USB connection and knowing that my 5800 has a clean bill of health.
BTW, my PC is on Windows 7 Professional at the moment. I've tried uninstalling the Ovi Suite and reinstalling it, but that didn't work. I've also tried using PC suite instead of the Ovi Suite but that didn't work either. What other options do I have, beside hard resetting the phone? Thanks in advance.
Edit: BTW, the message shown when I tried to connect to the internet with the 5800 USB modem was "failed to establish a network connection".
Solved!

Macbook Pro died and now won't connect to the internet

I just got home from college and my Macbook Pro died while I was using it because I couldn't find the charger in time to plug it in (stupid mistake that I never ever let happen usually). After I found it, plugged it in, and started it up again, the date and time were messed up on the computer. I reset them to normal and tried to connect to the internet using my old settings, but it hasn't connected.
I've tried a lot to try and fix it so far and it still won't connect. Other computers and devices (HP and Dell laptops, iPod touches, PS3) that my family have and use all work and connect to the internet fine.
I've tried to run the Network Diagnostics and after plugging in all of my settings and information, it says that it can't fix it. Next to it on the left, the Airport, Airport Settings, and ISP are all green...but the Network Settings is yellow and the Internet and Server are red.
I've deleted my internet settings and tried recreating them and that hasn't worked either. I have also tried the Assist Me portion to make a new connection - no luck there.
I've also tried resetting the Macbook Pro and the router (an Actiontec router for Verizon FIOS) multiple times and that hasn't worked either.
I unfortunately can't use Time Machine either because I don't have an external hard-drive and haven't set it up.
I just don't really know what to do at this point. Hopefully someone can help me out!

Same problem--hoping to get Apple's attention by throwing my hat in the ring with everybody else.
Things tried (now approaching 2 weeks of failure):
Deleting "Airport" Connection, Adding/Restarting/Re-adding/etc.
Archive Install
Erase & Install (full reinstall done by Genius)
Card Replacement
Bluetooth Replacement
Zapping the PRAM
Trying different connections/routers/locations/connection types/etc.
Visited Genius bar 4 times now.
Have been without the computer longer than I've been with it.
Trying to change over from a horrifically bad Dell to a refurb Mac worked once before...though I've come to believe: It's not the refurb, it's not the hardware, it's not the settings, it's not the router, it's not the install, it's not the associated software, it's not the connection, it's not the Super Moon that comes up tomorrow...It's a hardware issue as this has been happening since I opened the computer out of the box, and we have an identical computer running identical programs on an identical network with the identical updates and NO problems whatsoever--I'm assuming the innards may have been cheap'ed out somewhere to save a buck or a connector is faulty after a particular build date?
Full symptom list (in no particular order):
Connection Timeout
Connection Drop
Not recognizing Airport
Card Recognition but endless connection time
IP non-recognition
Random re-connect
Indication of connection without transmitting/receiving data

Connecting to the Internet via Ethernet

Hey,
I am trying to connect to the internet on my G4 Yikes for the first time using my apartment's ethernet connection.
How do I set this up? Does it do it automatically?
Thanks for any help!

*Hi duckydps, Welcome* to Apple's Users Help Users Forums.
It's been so long that I am not sure of details. Go to your ISP site. You will need to input your receive and send locations.
I just checked and they are in Mail / Preferences / Accounts.
Then they may let you start up automatically. You may need to check their FAQs, do a chat, or telephone them.
Good Luck, JP

How do I find out what app is connecting to the internet

Something on my iPhone 4 (fully updated) is constantly trying to connect to the internet via 3G, costing me a lot of money when I am not connected via WLAN! I can't work out what it is, but presume it is an app. How can I find out what is doing it?
I have tried deleting the cache, resetting the phone, etc. Nothing has worked. I even turned off 3G, cellular data, etc. and it STILL connected. How does that work?!
Can anyone help?
thank you!
kind regards, Gordon

thanks for the reply but are you sure about this? What difference would it make? Why 5 apps?
Even if it does work, which I doubt, at some point, I will have to resync ALL my apps again and surely the same thing will happen again, and I will be none the wiser. I still won't know which app it is. There must be a way of finding this out.
Any ideas?
What is really freaking me out is how it is connecting to my carrier (who is charging me) with Cellular data switched off.......?
Thanks again.

Why does a standalone program created in Labview 8.5 try connecting to the internet when the program only reads data through the serial port? Firewalls object to progams that contact the internet without permission.

why does a standalone program created in Labview 8.5 try connecting to the internet when the program only reads data through the serial port? Firewalls object to progams that contact the internet without permission.
The created program is not performing a command I have written when it tries to connect to the internet, it must be Labview that is doing it. How do I stop this from happening?
Any help would be very appreciated.

It looks that way..
"When LabVIEW starts it contacts the service
locator to removes all services for itself. This request is triggering
the firewall.This is done in case there were services that were not
unregistered the last time LabVIEW executed- for example from VIs that
didn't clean up after themselves"
This is not yet fixed in LV2009.

Why does my computer shut down when i try to connect to the internet?

I have recently found that when i'm trying to connect to the internet, a box is appearing something like This device does not exist, please check your settings and try again. My settings are fine, my wires are connected and i cant find any reason why the connection wouldn't work. I have shut down my computer and this hasn't helped when i have restarted it and now, the screen has gone dark with an scary box saying the computer has to restart itself. No reason is given (or at least i can't remember if there was a reason). My computer is going a bit slower now and is making a noise like an application is opening or the computer is doing something.
Can anyone help???? I have only had my i baby for a few months. I do download stuff all the time and i have been known to leave my internet connection on for a day at a time. Could this have caused the problem?

Close all apps in the multi-task window and try again.
1.Double-click the Home button.
2. Swipe the app's preview up to close it.
3. Preview will fly off the screen.
