When my iphone connects to wifi, everything else in my house will not connect to the internet. They all show 3 to 4 bars on connection strength, but unable to access the internet. The second I turn off the wifi on my iphone, everything in my house runs fine. What is going on?

Had a similar problem a number of years ago with a laptop my daughter had. The probelm turned out to be the router. What kind of router do you have? Have you checked for firmware updates, or at least tried re-booting it?

My iphone 4 will not open docx files. they all show as winmail.dat files. I've checked settings in Outlook.

Hello-
My iphone appears to have stopped being able to open docx email attachments. I don't do it really frequently, so am uncertain if it's because of the last software update or not. I am using 5.1.1 on an iphone 4. Anyone else having this problem?

Update - I found the iphoto cache deleted it. This did not work.... it still cannot find the photos. I then placed all the photos on my desktop and synced my phone to the folder. It found ALL the pictures on my desktop folder. I would still prefer to find a fix, so I can sync my photos to iPhoto....

I'm trying to use a madcatz controller on the mac but it turns on for 2 seconds and turns off. the system profiler picks it up as a xbox 360 gamepad but says its not been configured. how can i allow my self use this with my games.

i'm trying to use a madcatz controller on the mac but it turns on for 2 seconds and turns off. the system profiler picks it up as a xbox 360 gamepad but says its not been configured. how can i allow my self use this with my games!

I have exactly the same problem.
I'm a little peed-off with Microsoft on this. The original wireless controller I have doesn't work either since the cable I'm using is 'just' the charge and play cable, so a direct connection to my Mac won't work with this cable. It's a cable for god's sake. Why on EARTH put any limitations on this!?!?
Next I learn I need an additional USB wireless receiver from Microsoft to get my original 360 controller to talk to my Mac. As I certainly don't want to fork any more microsoft dollars on this, this is not an option.
Next I think, yes! I have a MadCatz 360 wired USB controller. This should surely do the trick just plugging it in and the way I go. But oh no, for some reason I plug my MadCatz Xbox360 controller in, it flashes a few times then switches off and can't be turned on again.
The System Profiles recognizes it as a MadCatz 360 device controller but that is about it, but the ontroller software I download for the System Prefs (360Controller, USBOverdrive etc) don't even recognize the controller as being plugged in.
What the **** Is The Microsoft Deal with all of this!?!?
PS: Oh, and I forgot to mention, there are No drivers for device 4716 that I can find on the MadCatz website, or am I going blind?
If anyone has a link, it would be appreciated.

The home button on my iPad is no longer working. To get to a new app I have to turn off the iPad and restart it.

The home button on my iPad is no longer working. To get to a new screen or App I have to turn the iPad off and then restart it.

Try calibrating the home button and see if that works. If it doesn't, you could also try restoring with iTunes. Try this first.
Calibrate the home button
1. Open a stock iOS app, such as Contacts
2. Press & hold the sleep/wake button at the top of your device until the red slider control appears.
3. Immediately release the sleep/wake button and press & hold the home button. Hold until the red slider disappears.

Entire Itunes library will not download to Ipod nano! All is checked and it says it synced but it will only put the few new purchased songs on my ipod.

My son deleted the music from my Ipod. I pulled up my Itunes on a new computer with windows 8 and pluged in the Ipod and my music reappeared. However, I then purchased new music and the new music would not download. I am not sure what I did but now the new music is on my ipod and all the old music is gone. When I am in my itunes account all the songs are selected and when I hit sync it is still only syncing the newly purchased songs. How can I get my entire library back on my ipod?

So you also rebooted your router correct? Does the iPod still connect okay to other networks?

Streaming audio data won't stop unless I turn off the phone for 5 minutes.

I have been testing the Curve 8330 regarding streaming audio from an icecast server. The address of the station is http://www.AirProgressive.org, click on "listen". (I have already run this by the icecast experts and they say it is a Blackberry "bug")
BLACKBERRY USERS! PLEASE BE AWARE THAT THE STREAM (dataflow) DOES NOT STOP WHEN YOU CLICK "STOP" ON THE MEDIA PLAYER! (and will continue for as long as you leave it on, and even if you turn off your BB for less than 5 Minutes.) I'm not sure if you are charged for these streams, but it seems that the battery is depleted rapidly if this continues without aborting it. See details of my testing below:
> Access icecast stream by clicking on the link on the website:
     http://www.airprogressive.org:8000/stream.m3u
> Stream consists of mp3 at 32kbps / 22050 Hz.
> Stock media player launches, stops at "Do you want to open or save the item."
    > No connections started yet (viewing "List Clients" page of icecast admin interface).
> Click "open", stream begins playing.
> Two connections are started instead of just one, always offset by 2 seconds.
    -- but sometimes only one connection starts.
> FYI, Icecast config: <client-timeout>30</client-timeout>
Here is the output from the "List Clients" page of Icecast2 Admin

I can understand that the player may continue to communicate when "stopped" to fill the lookahead buffer, but when it is restarted, it should use the same connection and not start a new one.

So, to stop the streaming server from communicating with the Blackberry handset, you must either turn it off or disable mobile network for at least 5 minutes.
It appears that the handset continues to transfer data (and therefore incur charges, if the user does not have an unlimited data plan) if the handset is not turned off or mobile network disabled for at least five minutes. It also runs down the battery much faster because the radio transmitter is actively being used, even if the user is not listening to the stream.
The Blackberry network has intervening servers that continue to receive data from the streaming server even if the handset is off. This behavior likely has utility to deal with the realities of the cellphone network, to allow the stream to be transferred from one cell to another, and deal with the possibility that the handset may be out of range for up to 5 minutes without "interruption." However, it is hard to turn off the stream.
QUESTIONS:
1. Is there a way to stop this sort of behavior using a configuration setting or something? It seems particularly stupid to start a new stream connection each time a STOP/START cycle is completed, allowing the old connections to continue streaming data (even if the data does not make it to the handset).
2. IS IT TRUE that the user will be "charged" for the data streams that are not disconnected?
3. Is there a way for a developer to send a signal to the intervening cellphone network to discontinue the orphan streams?
THANKS!!

No, I'm using something like this :
to start...
                   channel = new SoundChannel();
                                        soundPlay = new Sound();
                                        urlReq=new URLRequest;
                                        urlReq.url=mylUrl; // url of radio mp3
                                        soundPlay.load(urlReq);
                   channel = soundPlay.play();
to stop it...
                      channel.stop();
                      channel=null;
                      try{soundPlay.close();} catch (e:Error) {} // error or not, the sream won't stop.
Any idea ? Did you try with a NetStream object ?

How do I turn off the auto-locator?

I can no longer get to Yahoo.com which now always defaults to Yahoo.de, the German Yahoo. When I change it to the American one it immediately goes back to the German. I am American but live in Germany. I thought if I turned off the auto-locater I might be able to access Yahoo.com again so want to try it. How do I turn it off?

Hi,
I don't think Private Browsing is the issue, rather the locator and when I click on the link you provide I get an error message like this:
ERROR

How do I turn off the fancy flick and pinch features in the iPad?

I'm using my iPad with my son who is severely physically handicapped. He can't do a simple single finger tap and instead uses all five fingers on the pad while moving his hand back and forth. This actually works just fine within the apps he wants to play with, however he often accidentally switches apps, pulls down the calendar, or pulls up more options because he is accidentally performing fancy moves on the pad by mistake. Can I turn off those features - or maybe lock the screen so it's "stuck" in one app and can't move to another by accident?

You can turn off the multitasking gestures which may be causing the screen to move form app to app when he swipes left to right or swipes up from the bottom.
Go to Settings>General>Multitasking gestures>Off. That should help some.
Unfortuantely - You can't turn off the notification center - the calendar that pulls down from the top. If you swipe down from the top, that is always going to appear on the screen.
And there is no way to simply lock into one app. You can lock the screen orientation via the side switch or in the task bar at the bottom of the iPad - double tap the home button and swipe to the right to find the screen lock icon all the way on the left - it isn't locked by the side switch.
There may be iPad cases that will aid you in preventing your son from accidentally performing these screen movements with his hands, however, you would have to search for those with a Google search or maybe post a more specific question in this help site in order to get input from others in similar circumstances. You need something along the lines of a kiosk case - but one that allows more freedom of touch.

TS1398 My macbook is connected to the internet, but my iPad just stopped connecting. I have "forgotten" the network and restarted, and I have "turned off" the iPad. It still says it's not connected to the internet, but the wifi signal is strong.

My ipad was working, and then just said it wasn't connected to the internet. I have forgotten the network and rejoined, I have turned off the ipad (slid on the arrow), and still no luck. The macbook is working with no problem. Help.

iPad: Issues connecting to Wi-Fi networks http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3304

Additional things to try.
Try this first. 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.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
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
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

After I connect with my iPhone (3GS 5.0.1) to any Ad-hoc wireless Network then walk away out of the reach of my wifi network, my iPhone can't find any wifi Network afterwards, only by turning off the iPhone completely and turning on again.

After I connect my iPhone (3GS 5.0.1) to any Ad-hoc wireless Network then walk away out of the reach of my wifi network, my iPhone can't find any wifi Network afterwards, only by turning off the iPhone completely and turning on again.
switching off wifi and on again or going into airplane mode did't help!
This problem happens only with ad-hoc wifi networks not with normal ones.
(Ad-Hoc network was created on XP Computer)

Welcome to Apple Discussions
Sorry, but the 169.x.x.x IP address is internally generated by the iPod (and iPhone) and indicates that a network has been detected but no IP address has been issued. Your friends iPhone was not connected to your ad hoc network either - it connected to the internet through the 3G network.
You should read through the Vista help screens on ad hoc networking for some insight how this works. You should be able to get some ideas there.
In the mean time, $40 or less will buy you a very capable wireless router with four Ethernet ports and will simplify your network tremendously. Having used Windows ICS for a long time, the addition of a router and a real network simplified things so much.

I know the iphone 4s can turn off the vibrate for all sounds, but is there a way to keep the vibration on for just phone calls (with the ringtone also on) but off for everything else?

My wife's new iPhone was automatically backing up to iCloud. Now my 5mb limit is not allowing me to get my email. I turned off the automatic backup, but I do I get the storage capacity back?

Turning off automatic backup doesn't delete anything from your account, it only stops it from continuing to back up to iCloud. If you want to reduce your iCloud storage, this article provides some suggestions: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4847.

HT1430 How do I turn off the data when I am not in a WiFi location? I noticed that I am using data when the phone is "on" and I am not in a WiFi situation, but not on the internet. So, how do I turn off the data?

How can I turn off the LTE data when I am someplace where there is not WiFi and I do not want my LTE running up a bill? I have tracked my usage and realize that the LTE is being used even when I am not using it, just because the phone is turned on.

Merely being on should not use any data. You must have something running - something using push notifications, or push email, prhaps?
So, you can either track down what is using the data and change it, or you could go in and disaple cellular data in your settings.
One other thing to check is
Settings -> General -> About -> Diagnostic and Usage data -> set it to "Don't Send"
Settings -> Restrictions -> Location Services -> System Services -> turn all these "OFF" (this will not affect how you use your phone at all, but will stop any outgoing location information being sent periodically back to Apple).

Turning off the iphone or rebooting it ?

Hey guys.
Just wondering, If i turn off my iphone 4 by pushing the sleep button untill
the slide to turn off appears, then sliding it off, will that reboot the phone ?
Whats the difference if i hold sleep and home for 15 seconds ? how is that different then turning off the phone ?
Thanks

Holding sleep and home until the Apple icon appears is the same as re-booting a PC - all systems are re-started from scratch.
Turning off is like hibernating - everything is restored to the same state as before the turn off

Ipad is connected to the wifi but unable to access internet or receive mail.

Recently set up new broadband connection. Wifi set up and iphone, computer all able to connect to wifi and internet. Ipad recognises old networks and able to connect for wifi access, but for this new connection I am able to connect with the ipad but it does not seem to be able to receive or transmit any information, hence I am unable to access any internet, update any apps or check my email. Can anyone help? I've tried rebooting the system, forgetting the network and shutting the ipad off, all to no avail!

I've rebooted the router, I've made the ipad forget previous settings, rebooted the ipad, called the useless talktalk technical help. I have used this ipad previously with a previous talktalk connection. I'm not sure why this time I can't connect - perhaps its the security setting on the new router that isn't competible with the ipad? I'm using a D-link DSL-3680 router if that helps
