Security using WiFi

When using my smart phone and available WiFi connections, how secure are the Websites I visit such as Banking Websites. Do you get the same security as with a BroadBand. I don't see the 'Internet' lock symbol. Please advise and thanks.

The device is as secure as the wi-fi network it is using. For example, if you are using a network that requires a username and password, it will be more secure than a public wi-fi network you may find in an internet cafe for instance.
Thanks,

TS1398 After upgrade to iOS 6 i am not able to use wifi.

Connected, but no wifi traffic (at home).
After upgrade to iOS 6 i am not able to use wifi. I am connected to my home wifi but no trafic is coming through (safari, skype, twitter, app store). I have even tried recovery of my iPhone 4S using iTunes as well as using iPhone. But without effect.
Can not connect at all (at work).
Thank you for helpfull advice.

Please do not give me advice like:
switch proxy to auto
turn the flight mode on and off
turn the iphone on and off
release the ip
recovery the network settings
recovery firmware
I have tried all these, but did not work.
PS to apple:
I really did not expect this kind of trouble. If I would want to waste my time "repairing my device", I would buy an android phone!!!!!!

This helped me solve the problem:
I have changed the security from TKIP to AES and now my wifi works fine /sofar/.

What is the best app for following of the download? I mean how much I downloaded using WIFI and how much 3D download.

I would like to follow the amount of MB I downloaded and to know how much data was downloaded using WIFI and how much using 3G (internet connection by phone network provider as AT&T and so...).
Thank you very much for any suggestions.

Personally I have tried LogMeIn Ignition, Splashtop, and AlwaysOnPC, as well as TeamViewer. Although LogMeIn Ignition is expensive I would also have to say that it is the best one I've tried. Apart from viewing the computer's screen, you can access the files and folders in a standalone file browser interface without seeing the computer's screen, this speeds things up a lot.
As for security, I'm not too sure, as the website for LogMeIn does not seem to list the details. But as with any other internet based service, like email and social networking sites, an additional account of any sort will increase your vulnerability, even if it's just by that small amount. You can try accessing the computer through a VPN when on a public wifi network for added security. However about the virus, I don't think that is possible... No need to worry about your iPad getting a virus.

Problem Downloading app using wifi

I recently purchased an iPad. The problem is that I cannot download any apps using wifi. Everything else works fine using wifi. If I switch to 3G it downloads perfectly. I also have the same issue using my iPhone 4. This only started about two eeeks ago.
Any help would be really appreciated

You probably have some security setup in your network which is blocking access to the AppStore. Check your router for security settings.

E6-00 and Belle update : Cannot use Wifi and LEAP ...

Upgraded the E6-00 yesterday. First issues arise and even after a full reset, it still does not work.
- Wifi connection using LEAP authentication
Network is found, popup to enter username and password, all is good. Except the phone keep trying to connect while I type the password and each time, it re-ask the username. In short I cannot use connect at all as I don't have time to enter both username and password before it loop.... No more wifi connection possible as it use this LEAP authentication. Any way to increase the connection retry timeout ?
- IMAP folder not found
Same config as under Anna, but under Belle, it does not find any folder for IMAP account (and yes, the mail root folder is right), refreshing the folder list, just do nothing.
- MAPS
Say that it's empty and need maps. Give few options:
   * use OVI on the PC : OVI doesn't find MAP on the phone
   * use wifi to download map : .... if wifi would work, why not
Anybody else got the same issue ? Or found solution ?

Ok try to delete your apn, reset the device and resintall the OS. Don't restore any backup ans configure the WLAN apn: settings> connectivity> settings>destinations. Into the WLAN settings go to WI-fi security settings> in the fifrst field select EAP> in the second field EAP plugin settings > select EAP-LEAP.
This way the apn will work again
- IMAP folder not found
Same config as under Anna, but under Belle, it does not find any folder for IMAP account (and yes, the mail root folder is right), refreshing the folder list, just do nothing.
Please delete your mailboxes and configure them as you want. To create a IMAP access mailbox , for example Nokia Mail (outside of Messaging server) select Other. Put you credentials and choose Standard. You will see into Settings> your mailbox > sync content > Folder subscriptions> choose which folder to sync and it's done
- MAPS
Say that it's empty and need maps. Give few options:
   * use OVI on the PC : OVI doesn't find MAP on the phone

Please delete on mass memory the folder Cities and the file Qf, then open Maps and close the application. Verify that the folder Cities and the file Qf are again in E. Connect your device to Nokia Suite and redownload the cartography.

Just had cellular data plan added to my iPad 2. How do I wep secure my wifi connection?

How can I secure my cellular data wifi network on my iPad 2? I want to ensure others are not drawing against my data plan.

You can set up a password to secure your WiFi connection from your router. A very smart thing to do given a recent news story about a guy in Florida who didn't secure his WiFi network and was raided by the polce, who later discovered his signal was being used by another dude for illegal purposes..
As to your 3G cellular data plan, I don't believe it turns your iPad into a WiFi hotspot that others can use.
I can be paranoid, so I tend to turn on airplane mode when I'm not using my iPad, and especially overnight when I'm asleep.

Using WiFi as UMA mobile service.

Hi, I can't seem to get my Blackberry 8900 Curve to use the WiFi in my house as a mobile network. I've done this many times before, in different locations. My current service provider is T-Mobile and the service where I live is so bad that I often get no service at all. I found that I can bypass this by using WiFi as UMA for the mobile network. Except this time, my blackberry refuses to use the WiFi as phone service. Does anyone know why this is? And i've already checked my phone settings; I have it on WiFi preferred. The phone is in fact getting the wireless connection because the WiFi icon is lit in the top right hand corner of the phone, and I can use the Internet on it when I have no phone service. Does anyone know why it's not letting me use the WiFi as phone service? Thanks

safaritour,
I am glad to see that you are looking at options to keep up craft parenting techniques. For clarification are you trying to look for an app to change your wi-fi password through comcast? If so, it would be best to contact comcast directly to see what options they have for that. If through our Fios you can reach them here http://on.fb.me/SGYYEM. Each internet provider has there own security options and will be able to inform about best options, if any, to do so. Please keep us updated on this and if you have any other questions.
Thank you,

I want to use wifi for Apple TV, but it doesn't prompt for a password, so never connects. What am I missing? Can I only use it via a non-password-protected wifi connection?

You need a DATA service enabled by your carrier to be able to send e-mail via thier network. Do you have a data plan with your carrier ? If so - is it enabled ?
Can you access internet thru your network (not wifi) ?

How do I transfer an app from itunes my pc to my iphone 4s? I cant use wifi as my chip fried at the last update

How can I transfer an App purchased on iTunes on my pc to my iPhone 4s. I have tried synching but this does not make the app appear on my iPhone. I cant use wifi as my chip was fried on the latest update.

When you tried syncing, did you connect the phone, then click on the phone icon near the top left of iTunes, then click on Apps under Settings in the sidebar, then find the app in question and click the Install button beside it before clicking Sync at the bottom right?

My iPad 4 does not show up on my TV screen when in AirPlay mirroring mode using WiFi. The iPad displays AirPlay set to TV with the Mirroring On (green).
My iPad IOS software is 8.2 and my Apple TV software is at 7.1. The TV displays the Apple Menu. The “Settings” does however displays the General menu allowing me to see:
Apple software: 7.1 (7003)
Apple TV: Model No. A1464, Part No. MD199B/A
Signal Strength shows 5 circles.
It does not display the iPad screen but when I use the BT Sport App I can hear the sound but there is no video. I have searched the internet for a solution to no avail. The problem first arose when the IOS was at 8.1+ but it worked correctly briefly when I updated to IOS 8.2. Can you help please?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
Check AirPlay is turned on on the Apple TV (turn it off and on if it already is)
Check that both devices are on the same network (Settings > Wifi, on the mobile device and Settings > General > Network, on the Apple TV).
Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
Restart your router. (Also try removing it’s power cord for at least 30 seconds)
Restart your mobile device.

Sending Mail using wifi

I know it's frowned upon to start two threads on the same topic but I think I was confusing the issue in the other thread so let me simplify this.
My ISPs outgoing mail server is mail.optonline.net If I set my iPhone to use this as it's primary setting, I can send via wifi with no issues.
If, however, I am connected via 3G, it hangs and then fails. If I make cwmx.com my primary outgoing smtp server, it works fine.
Technically, iPhone is supposed to try with the primary mail server first, and upon failure, attempt each of the "other" mail servers in succession. Unfortunately, when using wifi and the primary is set to cwmx.com, it takes about 10 minutes before it realizes it can't send then switches to try mail.optonline.net Sure in the end the mail is getting out, but it's taking too long to try via cwmx.com before trying mail.optonline.net
Is there a way to:
a) use cwmx.com as the primary when on 3G and
b) use mail.optonline.net as the primary when on wifi
Currently, I have to go into settings and turn wifi off before sending any mail from home. hen after it is sent, go back and turn wifi back on. Thanks in advance guys. Please let me know if I am not clear on anything.

You're welcome.
This is normal since most ISPs do not have an authenticated SMTP server, and why they don't is beyond me.
Both email accounts that I access with the iPhone's mail client have an authenticated SMTP server, and I've never had any problems sending messages with either account when connected to AT&T's cellular network, or when connected to various wi-fi networks that I access often with different ISPs associated with each.
Most ISPs block the use of SMTP servers that are outside of their network or not provided by the ISP unless the SMTP server is authenticated, which includes AT&T's cellular network. These restrictions are in place as an overall effort to prevent spam emanating from the ISP's domain. Someone who is abusing their privilege sending messages with an authenticated SMTP server can be more easily tracked.
The reason you can send messages with optonline's SMTP server when connected to your wireless network at home is because optonline is your ISP.

Macbook pro wont connect to internet using cable, but connects using wifi fine

My macbook pro wont connect to the internet using a cable, but connects using wifi fine. I use wifi at home but sometimes need to use my laptop at work and connect using a cable but it says i'm not connected to the internet?

Can you open a terminal and invoke the following commands:
ping -c 10 localhost
and
ping -c 10 google.com
You should normally get something like:

Just got a used IPhone from store and it won't connect to Internet without having to use wifi. Already called my phone company and it still doesn't work. How do I fix this?

I just went to GameStop to get a used Iphone3 and I can't seem to figure out how to get Internet without using wifi connection. Anyone know how to do so? Everything else works good.

Before you go there call your provider first and have them check the provisioning on the phone. They will ask if you did this when you go to the Genius Bar.
