Setting up wifi with Ad-hoc
I just got a iPod touch today and I attempted to setup an ad-hoc network to connect my wifi. The touch recognized the network, however, I can't go online at all. Safari says it isn't connected to the internet.
I'm not quite sure what to do. Can anyone help me?
Thank you very much in advance.
I do not think an ad-hoc network is a routed network.
If you have a Mac, you can use System Preferences -> Sharing -> Internet Sharing to setup a shared network via your Mac.
If you have a Windows system (or Linux, etc...), there are methods for doing something similar, I am just not familiar with them.
However, it is a lot less hassel to just setup a WiFi router and 802.11g routers are not all that expensive. Just a thought.

HOW TO EASILY SET UP WIFI WITH TH N95 AND A MAC WI...
Hi this is how to connect a mac running os x 10.4 (tiger) to a n95's network and succsesfully share the macs internet via airport (wifi)
first (on mac) go to:
system preferences then sharing on sharing click services and turn personal web sharing on (tick the box)
next go to internet and on the drop down menu next to "share your conection from" select built in Ethernet (or what ever you use to access net)
now tick the box that says airport and click airport options
copy in as follows:
network name: -what ever you want-
channel: automatic
tick enable encryption (WEP)
password: -use a word thats 13 characters long-
Wep key length: 128
click ok and click start!
now on n95 go to:
settings>connection>access points
then go options and new access point
connection name: use any name you like
data bearer: wireless LAN
Wlan networkname: search for network > select the network that you no is yours
network status: puplic
Wlan network mode: infrastructure
!!!!!!!!!before you go to wlan security mode push options!!!!!!!!!!
then advanced settings then IPV4 settings and enter in the following numbers
phone ip: 10:0:2:5
subnet mask: 255:255:255:0
default gateway: 10.0.2.1
primary dns address: 10:0:2:1
!!!!!before you enter secondery go back to you mac and go system prefs and then network on network it should say:

from there copy your ip adress into your phones "secondary DNS address"
(you ip is located after built in ethernet where it says ip then somthing like 211:243 ect.)
now on the n95 go back until you get to where it said wlan security mode
wlan security mode: WEP
wlan security settings:

authentication tyoe: shared
WEP key setting's:
WEP encryption: 128 bits
WEP key format: ASCII
WEP KEY: - the 13 charictor password types in on the mac-
now go back until you you reach your main n95's menu
select tools then WLAN WIZ.
the network you created on the mac should apear as known select it then start web browsing!!!
hope it works for you as it did for me thanksHi ogigacz
On Leopard they hid away the APN field under advanced configuration options for bluetooth modems.
I don't know whether you have found this workaround:

Wifi with ad-hoc network problems
Hey everyone, when I connect my ipod with my computer's ad-hoc network, it connects, but when i go on the internet, it doesn't work. The IPv4 has internet, but the IPv6 doesn't. Is this the problem and how do I fix this

Problems setting up wifi with my chromebook
I have just started setting my HP LaserJet 100 colour MFP M175nw printer up with my chromebook and can not get the wireless conection set up at all. All information I find is for all other types e.g window 7, Mac etc. but nothing for a chromebook. PLEASE can you help me as I am unable to work untill I can sort it out.
Many Thank
SilverRoseJewlsHi SilverRoseJewls,
Thank you for joining the HP Support community. I understand that you would like to setup your Laserjet 100 color MFP M175nw printer to be able to use it with your Chromebook.
Chromebooks don't use full feature drivers due to its design. Please use the printer's wireless direct feature so you can connect to the printer from your Chromebook. Once you have connected to the printer's wireless direct network you can follow the steps in Jon-W's post to connect the printer to your home wireless network.
Once the printer is setup wirelessly you can then setup Google Cloud print so you are able to print from your Chromebook. I have included a document on how to set this up.

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.
If you are still having problems, the following article(s) may help you.

I have an iTunes account with my own music library. My wife wants to have her own music library. Is there a way to set up a sub account for her, or do I have to set up a set of husband playlists and a set of wife playlists?

My wife and I each have an apple computer and an iPhone. Setting them up with the iCloud put us on the same account. I take a lot of photos on job sites and she takes her own photos we have to scan though each others photos to find our own. How do I separate the accounts without one of us losing our own stuff?
Decide which device will be changing accounts. On that device, if you have any photos in photo stream that are not in your camera roll that you want to keep on the device, save them to the camera roll by opening the photo stream album in the thumbnail view, tapping Edit, then tap all the photos you want to save, tap Share and tap Save to Camera Roll.
Once this is done, go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. (This will only delete the account from this phone, not from iCloud. The device(s) that will be keeping the account will not be effected by this.) When prompted about what to do with the iCloud data, be sure to select Keep On My iDevice. Next, set up a new iCloud account using a different Apple ID (if you don't have one, tap Get a Free Apple ID at the bottom). Then turn iCloud data syncing back to On, and when prompted about merging with iCloud, choose Merge. This will upload the data to the new account.
Finally, to delete any data that you don't want in each account (such as deleting your wife's data from your account, and vice versa) you will have to go to icloud.com on your computer and sign into each iCloud account separately and manually delete it. -
Trying to set up new ipad. We had one in my wifes name that we both used. We have set mine up with relevant apple id and emails but if i send mail it shows it is coming from my wife, completely confused. Can any one help, have we set thing up wrongly????
Hi Brodies Dad,
It sounds like you have the settings in the email account on your iPad set up in error. If you go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Accounts > select your Mail account > then select the account email address to look at the details > Is your name set correctly here? You can edit the name in this location, as well as any other details.
This article, about setting up an email account, takes you to the correct place to make changes as well.

How to set wireless printer at ad Hoc mode in CP1025nw with auto-off is off?? ie never auto-off!!
How to set wireless printer at ad Hoc mode in CP1025nw with auto-off is off?? ie never auto-off!!
Thank you very much for your help if any!!
This question was solved.
View Solution.Quite a few questions there, Sends, but I will do what I can to answer them.
I would first recommend buying a router, even if it is one that you won't connect to the internet and network this with your other PCs and the printer. This will give you the best functionality and results for what you are attempting to do.
Additionally, the Auto Off feature of the printer can be disabled, and is not affected by the connection type. You can usually go through the Setup Menu and select Tools to change the options there on the energy saving features.
Lastly, the auto off feature on your computer is a Windows question, but an easy one to answer. If you are on a laptop you can right-click on the battery in the service tray (bottom right hand corner) and change the energy conservation settings.
You might be better off installing the printer through the USB cord and alternating that based on when you are using it, but that would be optimal only if you are printing only a few documents on an irregular basis. A networked connection is the easiest to manage over several computers, honesty, but you do have some requirements for that connection and limitations as well.
I hope this information is useful! -
Set my wifes account up with mine. Now all our data combines. How do we set up her own account so we don't share all contacts and such??
There is only one solution. Each user must have their own separate user account. All of their respective data would be contained in their separate user accounts. This also means each will have a separate iTunes Library. If you all use the same third-party apps, then each will have to purchase their own copies under their own Apple IDs. Some data sharing is possible. See:
iTunes- How to open an alternate iTunes Library file or create a new one
iTunes- How to share music and video

Trouble setting up Wifi Syncing with iPhone 4
I'm trying to set up Wifi syncing with my iPhone 4 and when I disconnect the cable the device does not remain under devices on iTunes. This means wifi syncing is not possible.
Any ideas what's going wrong?
Thanks,
RhysFirst you need to check the box 'Sync this iPhone over WIFI'.
Connect your device to your computer, select our iPhone under 'Devices' on iTunes left Pane. Then on right Pane, scroll down under 'Summary' tab to check above box and click the APPLY button on the lower right window. -
When do I know if my iphone will switch to wifi and not that it costs somemoney to my phone network operator? is there a spec setting I must do.
Or is it enough to have the phone set to wifi and phone connects directlywhen it makes contact with a wifi network?Thank you again for all of your help!! I really appreciate it!
I think I am following -- I was able to upload to my iPhoto and all photos and videos are there that is a plus! I tried to create an Event in my iPhoto and put all of my photos in that event but for some reason, now my iTunes it not recognizing that Event in my iPhoto. It is not allowing me to import just that event at the moment but I may be doing something wrong. At least all of my pics and vids are in iPhoto so that is a plus and I know they are at least saved somewhere. Just for some reason, my iTunes it not locating the event that I created with only those photos.
Thank you for letting me know about my contacts! How do I know if I have the contacts app?
Also, I had no clue that my iCloud could be backed up via cellular data! However, is this a new feature with the most updated iOS?? Unforutnatly I am like 2 iOS updates behind because I don't have enough storage on my phone. I still get the notification that my phone needs to be plugged in and connected to wifi in order to back up to the cloud :-(
How can I sync using USB? Right now when i click on the info tab for my iPhone in my iTunes this is the answer that I get -- I am a little unclear as to what it means.
Sync Contacts:
Your contacts are being synced with you iPhone over the air from iCloud. Over-the-air sync settings can be changed on you iPhone
Sync Calendars:
