Solution for inability to log into at&t's free wi-fi hotspots for iPhones.

I had been having trouble logging into at&t's supposed free wifi access for iPhones as outlined at http://www.wireless.att.com/learn/internet/wifi.jsp.
My number was not registering as a valid iPhone number and thus, as a result, not qualified for the access.
After numerous support calls, often ending in a transfer to Apple support (not their problem), I found the solution was to have my SIM card swapped for a new one. Within 24 hours (not immediate) of swapping the SIM, I was able to log in to at&t's hotspots.
Hope this helps anyone else having the same problem; it has plagued me for months now.

Swap SIM card if you cannot log into at&t's wi-fi hotspots.

    this is crazy I paid for the service. logged into the site. downloaded the launcher. attempted to launch the app. and...nothing?
    what the deuce!

    We are sorry for the trouble that this has caused you. Can you please suggest if you did the migration from a previous version of MAC OS to Yosemite(10.10.1)? If yes, are you having trouble while Launching the Desktop Application? If yes, there are two steps available for us.
    1) First , please check the permission on /Library folder and see if you have full read & write access. If you don't, I would request you to have a conversation with Apple support.
    2) If the permissions are all fine on this folder, please check the same on ~/Library folder as well.
    If all is fine, i would request you to please reinstall the product and try again.

  • I can't log into apple mail with out it asking me for a password.

    I can't log into apple mail with out it asking me for a password. It never used to do this. What can I do to be able to send a email without having to type in a password?

    Hey it4daddy73,
    What mail provider are you currently using (Gmail, iCloud, Yahoo?).
    Open up safari and go to that providers website and log into your email.
    If you get in than open the mail app and click on mail on the top of the screen, then go down to preferences, click on the accounts tab, and type your password. Close the window and it will save.
    If this doesn't work I would even try deleting the account by going into mail/preferences/accounts and clicking the - button in the bottom left corner. Than re add and configure the account by pressing the + button.
    Hope this works, and good luck.

  • Cannot log into iTunes and App Store since 6.1 update (iphone 5)

    I see many other of you having trouble with App Store in other discussions (App Store shows blank), me too.
    And I also cannot log into iTunes through Settings-->iTunes & App Stores. After putting in my Apple ID and password it just doesn't go anywhere.
    All of these started since I updated my iphone 5 from 6.0.2 to 6.1 yesterday. I've also updated my ipad 3 but it works just fine.
    Any one can help?

    Hi foxlolo,
    Have you tried doing a reset on your iPhone? Press the Home button and the Power button at the same time and hold them down until the Silver Apple appears. Once it has fully reset, try to log into iTunes again on your phone.
    Hope this helps!
    Cheers,

  • Login screen does not ask for password when logging into user account

    This is an issue that did not immediately manifest itself after I have upgraded to Snow Leopard. I am not sure what exactly triggered it.
    Anyway, now at the login screen if I choose to login with my own user account, i.e. clicking on the icon associated to my user account, I am not prompted for the password and the system seems to start trying to login, as there is a discernible pause. Obviously that will fail, and I am returned to the login screen again.
    If I choose the other user option, as before I will be allowed to manually type in an user id and password, and using this way I am able to login into my own account (previously I only use this for logging in to the root account).
    Any idea on how I can make the field for typing in the password appear again? Thanks.

    Just to report that deleting /Library/Preferences/com.apple.loginwindow.plist did not help.
    Anyway I installed Snow Leopard again and the problem went away. Hope I will not do something that will trigger it again.

  • Can't log into itunes account? can't download apps for iphone?

    Message " We could not complete your itunes request. The network connection timed out"
    Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, then try again.
    Can anyone help?

    Help! My wife's WinXP box has suddenly stopped connecting to her iTunes store account - getting the error message "cannot connect" etc etc.
    I've posted the diagnostic log further below, but in summary:-
    - Actual internet connectivity is fine - websites, email etc.
    - I am able to connect to MY iTunes account on my MacBook Pro
    - she also tried connecting using her iPhone, to update some apps over wifi, but they were stalled on "waiting/updating", even after about 20 mins. So she backed-out of that, had to switch the phone off & back on. We read that it would be wise to "log out" of the iTunes store on teh actual iPhone handset (in settings), then log back in, so the account at Apples' end wasn't "stuck".
    - Never had ANY problems connecting to her iTunes store account before now (last few days).
    - No updates performed on her laptop, changes to preferences, settings etc that might have caused this.
    - Laptop is NOT used away from our house, and our wifi/router has not been breached as we live in the middle of the countryside, so I'm happy with security of the network.

  • Inability to log into "My Alerts"

    When trying to set up a "My Alert" on an artist, Itunes askes me to log in. It pulls up the correct Itunes account id and whenI put in my password, it tells me it's invalid.
    When I go to my account and enter the same password it works.
    Ideas?

    It's broken again. If I try to manage my alerts, it wants me to sign in and then tells me it can't find the artist. If I try to add a new artist, I just get a never-ending sign in loop.
    Contact iTS support from this page
    http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/store/browser/
    There isn't really a category for store alerts, so I chose Connection > I receive an error

    If a phone is sold from one friend to another and wants to use it on a different carrier the friend can contact the carrier it was sold by to request it unlocked.  I know AT&T, Verizon, and Sprint will give you the steps to unlock it as long as the original contract it was bought under has been completed.  eBay/Craigslist is really not the best place to try to get "unlocked phones" from, if it turns out the phone isn't unlocked then I'm really sorry you got stuck with that one and as stevejobsfan said above I would report them immediately and see if you can recover your money.  I sell phones for a living and this happens a lot

  • My computer crashed and I cannot get to my itunes.  Anyway I can log into it from another computer? I have an iphone now and want my music on it.

  • Can't copy purchased music from iTunes to iPod(logged into a Windows domain

    I'm running iTunes on Windows XP. I've been using it to manage my music including purchasing music for iTunes.The laptop I'm using I also use it for work and log into a work Domain. I recently purchased an iPod (video) and attempted to transfer music via iTunes. When I manually try to transfer purchased songs only iTunes closes. I can transfer songs that have been imported into the library via CD. I receive a message "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the
    inconvenience." My user login has administrator rights to the PC (where iTunes is installed). All my music files are kept on an external hard drive. I've called Apple support and reinstalled the software several times with the same results. I did create a new user that logs in to
    the PC (not the work Domain), that can somehow transfer the music to the iPod. But I can not see any folders, playlists, or purchased music that was established when logged on the work Domain. That solution isn't sufficient because I can't normally create different users
    and run iTunes (and other products) this way.
    Anyone encounter this problem? Any suggestions?

    This sounds like an interesting snag - clearly if you can get copied CD tracks onto the iPod there isn't an issue PC to iPod.
    I wonder if the inability to copy downloaded music is related to the very clever stuff Apple do to prevent you writing more than seven copies of those tracks? Just a thought - I have no idea how it all works, but it occurs to me it could get embroiled in network stuff?? If you are friendly with your administrator ask them if you can have a go at connecting your iPod to a computer with admin rights, and see if you get a more helpful error message.

  • Unable to log into Ovi

    I have a Nokia 5800.

    When I click the link to download the application, it prompts me to sign in.
    I input the Username and Password, however I am unable to Sign into Ovi, it always puts me back to the Username/Password screen.,
    What am I doing wrong?
    Thanks

    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

     I cannot log into OVI.
    I can log in through my PC using User name and password.
    After sending a link to my mobile to download an application, I click on the link on my mobile and goto the sign in page on my mobile.
    I input the same username and password that I use on my PC.
    I keep returning back to the same point. ie input username and password.
    If I scroll down to the  bottom of the page it shows my "Username" SIGN OUT
    So it appears that I am logged in however keeps returning me back to the log in page.
