If you have a Wi-Fi network at home, yes. Just associate your phone with your home access point or wifi enabled router.

HT1296 I'm having difficulty syncing my iCal between my home computer and iPhone. New entries from my home are not syncing with the phone and vice-versa. I didn't have any problems with this before until the latest phone update. Any suggestions?

It could be that the existing wire in your appartment is not clean enough to provision DSL only. When combined with the phone possibly it has a higher line voltage and worked before. Now that the line is to be provisioned without phone service it may be giving them trouble that did not show before they came out and ran the new line test. So a new jack dedecated for your DSL line may require a new wire be run to your appartment. Also the account for internet only used to require direct billing to a credit card or something else. This was a number of years ago. Most accounts are linked to a phone number, and without a voice number it adds to the confusion.
If you are getting the voice and everything turned on as before, then I am at a loss for words.

Problems with WiFi between my Macbook Air and Iphone 6

I have a Macbook Air (I purchased it around Dec. 2013)
My problem has been happening lately the past few months.
If my iphone 6 is connected to my Wifi here at home and it is plugged into my Macbook Air, the internet on my Macbook stops working.
I have to turn the Wifi off on my phone, for my macbook to regain it's connectivity and begin to work.
My hotspot is not turned on on my phone, or anything like that to prevent my Wifi from connecting on my Mac, but this problem happens EVERY TIME my phone is connected to my macbook.
Is this happening with anyone else? Is there something I'm probably overlooking?
Please help.
MacBook Air (13-inch, Mid 2013)
1.3 GHz Intel Core i5
4 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
OS X ver. 10.10.2
iPhone 6, 64GB, Gold (Verizon)

Update:
So just that quick! I updated to iOS 8.2 and It seems like the problem has went away.

I am having problems with my wifi on my ipad its stopped connecting, its fine with my laptop and iphone but not ipad - I want to know if I can set up by plugging in to itunes rather than manually as it wilask me to connect to wifi to set up and I cant!

BOB we need you urgently
Perhaps Bob will see this thread, he is the professor in these cases.
You do not use a WEP password but wpa/wpa2 on router and equipment.
All equipment connects to WiFi, but for your iPad.
Even with all other equipment WiFi off, you cannot connect your iPad.
Your iPad connects to other WiFi nets correctly.
All resets etc done on iPad and Router.
Still I am not sure it is your router for sure, frustrating...
I want to test 2 other things:
1. in your iPad, set everything OFF in Settings/Cellular, turn off/then/on your WiFi, and see whether it will still not connect...
2. If that does not do it: disconnect the router as well as the modem from the power, for 15 seconds, then reconnect the modem, let it fully start, then reconnect the routet let it fully start, turn of your WiFi in iPad, then on, and see whether it will connect.

My iPad is not connecting to the wifi although my laptop and iPhone are. the screen saysno internet connection

My iPad has stopped connecting to my wifi and says No Internet Connection, even though I have 3 bars wifi and my laptop and iPhone in the same room are connected

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

HT4623 after the ios 7.0 update my iphone 4s and ipad keep switching in between the home screen and the apple loading screen, can anybody help?

Can anybody help with the above?
i.e
both my iphone 4s and ipad switch in between the home screen and the apple loading screen
Many thanks

I would connect each device to a power source, and then reset them by holding the power button and the home button until they turn off.
If it keeps happening, I would put the devices in recovery mode and restore them with iTunes.
This article will help with that if needed:

Wonder what went wrong?

Try this, it worked for me when nothing else did:
Perform a SoundLink® speaker reset, following these steps:
On the speaker, press and hold Mute for 10 seconds, the LEDs will flash briefly
Press Power to turn the SoundLink® speaker back on
Reconnect the device, if necessary.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

No Synchronisation of Photos between iTunes 10.5 and iPhone 3GS after iOS 5

I made the Update to iTunes 10.5 on my Notebook with Windows XP and the Update to iOS 5 on my iPhone 3GS.
I had a lot of Problems (the Backup had an Error, my outgoing Mails were all deleted in all Mail Accounts, the Synchronisation of Music and Apps needs a lot of Synchronisations and a lot of Time and so on) with these Updates and I need more than 12 Hours at the Moment to repair all the Errors.
My last Problem is:
There is no Synchronisation of Photos between iTunes 10.5 and iPhone with iOS 5.
I can not see my Photos in my iPhone.
The Capacity in iTunes 10.5 shows 4,4 GB Fotos on my iPhone, but in my iPhone, there is no Folder in the Photo App and so I can not see the 4,4 GB of my Photos.
This Problem comes with iOS 5. I had this Problem never before.
First, I gave in iTunes a OK for a Home Sharing of Music, Videos, Photos and so on for the Folders and for the iPhone.
Second, I was in iTunes in Photos and deleted the Check in the Folder Photos.
Third, I made a Synchronisation with iTunes and the iPhone.
Fourth, the Capacity of the Photos was then only at 0,17 GB.
Fifth, I close iTunes and switched off the iPhone.
Sixth, I started iTunes and iPhone new and bring both together with the USB-Port.
Seventh, the Syncronisation started and the Capacity of the Photos in iTunes was at 0,17 GB, too.
Eigth, I set a new Check in the Folder Photos in iTunes for a Synchronisation.
Ninth, the Capacity showed 4,4 GB again.
Tenth, the Synchronisation started and showed on the Display "2 Photos of 16.000".
Eleventh, the Synchronisation Circle stopped after 10 Seconds, but the Notebook worked 2 Minutes longer.
And after this the Synchronisation stopped appruptely / crashed (?) and the Photos are "unvisible" on the iPhone.
Is this a known Bug?
Has Someone a Solution for a correct Synchronisation of the Photos, so that I can see successfully my Photos in my iPhone again?
Thank you very much for your Help!

Ever since my upgrade to iTunes 10.5 my laptop has been crashing. I've heard that the update ***** up 100% of your CPU, essentially crashing your computer. Apple, fix this now!!!

Airdrop between mac book pro and iPhone 5c

How do I airdrop between a macbook pro and iphone 5c?

Is this still the case, or has the latest update for IOS and OS X (announced on WWDC in 2 June 2014) enabled file sharing between Iphone and Mac via Airdrop?
When I open Airdrop in Finder on my Macbook pro (2013), it keeps searching for devices, but does not recognise my iphone 5s (on which wifi, bluetooth and airdrop are on). Any way to fix this?
Thanks!

My wife has a new Ipad and Iphone with icloud. We also have a Imac that has not been upgraded yet that is somehow syncing with her ipad and screwing up the apps. Is there anyway to prevent this. Maybe it is thru mobilme?

I think iCloud isn't coming until this fall and not until iOS 5 is publicly available. Right now there is confusion because all this stuff is still in beta and things are under NDA and may still change.
I'd just set the 3GS up the same as currently. When iOS 5 is available in the fall (and I don't think Apple has specified beyond "fall"), before you update, there should be any number of guides to setting things up and how it will all work. http://macworld.com is a good place to look for such information.

I need to sync my laptop and iphone to my bosses laptop and iphone. Can two apple users share the same icloud? If not, any suggestions on how to make this work? We need to be able to pull files, etc

Yes you can both use the same iCloud account.
