Using homesharing away from home

I'm starting college in the fall in a different state from where I am currently. Right now I am transferring my iTunes library from my old desktop computer onto my new laptop using homesharing. My only concern is whether I will still be able to listen to/add new music to my iTunes library on my new computer when I am out of state at college and away from my desktop?

home sharing works over your local network.
check out SuperSync instead.

Can I use iCloud away from home on my iPhone5s?

I thought that it worked that way, but I seem to be mistaken. I can use it when on the same block as my home, but not otherwise. When I am near home, it only allows me to play a few songs from a couple of artists. Is it supposed to work that way and if not, how do I correct it? I don't know if it affects anything, but I have Verizon and the standard 5GB cloud plan (but am willing to upgrade if it will help my listening coverage). I've checked several similar questions but have yet to find anything that works. This is a big annoyance for me because I wanted to listen to my songs away from home, but my 16GB phone won't hold all 1400 songs (which I'm told is another problem all it's own, but that's another question entirely).

I've made calls from areas where I can't listen. Is there some kind of setting I've effed up?

Outgoing emails away from home

When away from home (ISP TalkTalk) I find I can receive emails fine, but I cannot send emails on Mac Mail. This happened with my last ISP as well. Is there anyway of correcting this whilst still using Mac Mail? I have tried using different outgoing servers, but there seems to be something missing.

Hello, and welcome to the Discussions.
This issue is totally dependent upon the internet provider at the venues you visit while away from home, and also upon whether your ISP provides a SMTP that is fully authenticated and works on a Port other than Port 25. The latter is being increasingly blocked by most providers, and SMTP that trust you at your home venue only by reference to your authentication of the Incoming Server or the IP address of the Modem provided by your ISP are likely to not work when away. This is not related to Mail per se, but any email client.
Ask your ISP is they have a SMTP that works on Port 587 or Port 465 for you to use when away from home.

Can Mail be set up to work while away from home?

When I tried using mail with my powerbook G4, using a free wireless system at the library, I received a message that it needed authentication. Is it possible to use Mail away from home or do I have to use Webmail? I use Comcast broadband at home.

You were exactly right! All it took is going to Mail preferences, clicking on server settings, checking authentication, and adding my user id and password. I tried using the library's WiFi and mail came through.
Thanks

Using Outlook 2007 I want to receive emails on my iPhone 4 only when Outlook is NOT open on my computer, as when away from home or want to quickly check email when computer is not turned on. Either ALL emails come to my iPhone or none at all.

Using Outlook 2007 I want to receive emails on my iPhone 4 only when Outlook is NOT open on my computer, as when away from home or want to quickly check email when computer is not turned on. Either ALL emails come to my iPhone or none at all. Is the setting I need to change in Outlook or on the iPhone or is it somewhere else? I used to have this setting but transferring Outlook to a new laptop somehow turned it off.

No. You really can't do that. Not easily at any rate. You would have to set them both up to use POP3, but even then there is no way to guarantee that the phone won't poll the server prior to your computer doing so, pulling down the message from the server.

Can I use iTunes Match while I'm away from Home, and my family still use Home Sharing via Apple TV?

I would like to be able to use my iTunes Match account as I am frequently away from home.
However, my family would also like to be able to use Home Sharing to listen to music, watch movies stored on the family iMac, using the Apple TV.
At the moment, iTunes Match & Apple Store uses a different Apple ID to Home Sharing. I don't want the kids to be able to download movies etc on the Apple TV.
Is there a way that I can achieve both at the same time?

Yes, iTunes Match alleviates this situation. As long as iTunes on both of your computers is using the same Apple ID, you can add songs to either one, and once they have uploaded to iCloud, they will be available on any of your iDevices AND in iTunes on the other computer.

HT201210 Ive updated to ios 6 using wireless. once completed it has asked me to plug my phone into itunes. i'm away from home without itunes what can i do ? the phone cant get past this screen

Ive just tried to install iOS 6 using wirless. Once completed it asks me to plug it into itunes.
I'm away from home at the moment so i dont have access to itunes. is there anything i can do ? the phone will not do anything !!
is there a way to get passed this or revert back ?

I have the same problem and we can't simply just restore from the backup. It says that I have to set up my iPad through restoring. So I tried restoring it in iTunes but it won't restore until I have to turn off this **** "Find My iPad" crap but I couldn't because the set up's not complete and it won't let me go to my settings unless I set it up. So basically it's asking me to go to my settings but before I could go to it I have to restore, and in order to restore I have to go to settings. Get where I'm at?
Please, Apple Tech people! Help this 14 year old girl on her period, PMS-ing, thinking about how I want to strangle however made this mistake of a set up, updating her iPad in 3 am in the morning cursing the day she even thought of updating. I seriously need to get out of this loophole. I don't want to use my other iPad that only has 16GB. I just wanted the pretty graphics I saw in my parent's iPad airs, I don't ask for anything more :''''(

Using iphone with macbook air to access internet away from home

Can I use the iphone as a dongle to access internet on Macbook air. I find using the iphone fiddly and would prefer the laptop when away from home.

You can, but you have to pay an additional fee to AT&T. I think it's about $20/month for tethering.

Hi. I have temporarily moved away from home. I am using a different internet connection, and I have lost my bookmarks. How do I get them back?

Hi. I have temporarily moved away from home. I am using a different internet connection, and I have lost my bookmarks. How do I get them back?

Generally speaking, your bookmarks are private to your computer, and if you set up multiple Firefox profiles on your computer, to the one profile.
Your bookmarks might be available to you at another location if you used the Sync service. In order to connect a new computer to the Sync service when you aren't near your old computer, you need a recovery key. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/share-bookmarks-tabs-and-more-your-other-computers#w_what-if-im-not-near-my-first-computer
If you didn't use Sync or can't access your account, someone with access to your old computer could email you your bookmarks. Since there is a range of different ways to do that and the best choice might depend on what you can expect the person you ask to be able to do... could they start up Firefox in your profile and follow menu steps to export a file? Could they drill down into a hidden folder on the system, zip a file, and mail that to you? Etc.

Before you go, move the files to I tunes and sync them down. There is no viable way to stream from your nas drive to the pad.

Is there any final answer to why emails will not send when away from home IP? Have san diego road runner. emails send fine from home, but do not send when using another IP.

Is there a final answer to why emails do not send from iphones when away from home IP?

This is a common anti-spam technique for ISPs to prevent mail from being sent from anywhere other than your service location. Ask Road Runner if there are any specific settings you can use to circumvent this.

Using Email on iPhone Away from Home

If anyone can help with this I would be grateful. I am having issues sending and receiving emails (with a comcast email account) from my iPhone when I'm away from home. At home it works fine -- I'm guessing because it's accessing comcast's mail servers via my Airport WiFi system. However, when away from home and when the iPhone has to send/receive via ATT's Edge network, I get "unable to connect to server" messages.
Any suggestions on how I might fix this, or is this an ATT issue?

You should be able to receive mail fine, whether you're on WiFi or Edge...
for your outgoing server try adding :587 to the end of the server address.
Put your username and password in.
Go to advanced and make sure SSL is turned off, and authentication is set to "password".
That worked for me with my provider, and I had used the suggestion based one what someone using comcast had said!

What settings do I need to use to be able to send and receive e-mails when away from home?

what settings do I need to use on an iphone4 to be able to send and receive e-mails when away from home?

Should be the standard Gmail settings, then: smtp.gmail.com
These settings will be configured automatically for you if you go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, and Calendars > Add Account > Gmail. Then enter your login info.

Using POP3 away from your home broadband

I have just moved over to BT from using Tiscali as my ISP for many years. In the past when I set up a POP3 email account I used the SMTP server of the specific email service for sending my mail OUT. I now discover, but only after asking the question of the help desk, that as a new BT customer I may not use any SMTP sever but 'mail.btinternet.com'. This is fine while I am working from home but presents problems when I am out on the road.
I have about 10 email accounts set up on my laptop from which I collect mail daily and then reply to them. Since moving to BT I have set up all the accounts with the BT SMTP server but when I away from home it will not be possible to SEND thru this server. My only option is to wait until I get home to send my mail (And BTW I will not be able to make a second collection during the day before coming home as the mail client will error on the sending. I am using Windows Live Mail and there is no option to *only* collect mail without sending). My other option is to go thru every account individually and reconfigure the SMTP sever (10 times) or I could log into every account via webmail.
I am pretty fed up with this state of affairs as it is not documented in BT material. If I'd known that this would be a limitation I would not have gone with BT in the first place. I cannot be the only one with this issue. Clearly anyone using solely their BT email account, for instance, is prevented from using a POP3 client away from their home base.
Any ideas?
Rob

Thanks for these replies and for the simple solution to my problem.
Last week I set up another new broadband connection at a site I work at but this was an Orange service, not BT. I tried using my desktop client to do my email and noticed that while the mail came in fine under the POP3, the outgoing mail was failing. As I mentioned before I am using 10 different accounts from a variety of different services: Googlemail, Yahoo, Tiscali and a couple of services provided by my web hosting suppliers. While these had worked fine under my Tiscali account they seemed to be failing under Orange. (Actually, as it turned out later, it was only the outgoing Tiscali mail that was failing). After a few calls to the help desk I was advised that I could *only* use the Orange SMTP server for sending mail under the new broadband package. I therefore changed all my accounts so that mail was sent out thru the Orange SMTP sever. For some strange reason I was still getting failures if I used Outlook Express or Outlook (an old version). However, when I changed to using Windows Live the problem disappeared and I am now able to send mail OUT from a variety of accounts with the reply address given as the one attached to the account.
When, this week, I set up a BT broadband line at a different site, I thought that I had better check with the BT helpline whether it had the same policy as Orange. I was informed categorically that I could only use the BT SMTP server (mail.btinternet.com) to send mail OUT. No other SMTP server would work. Naively, I accepted this at face value and did not try setting up any accounts with non-BT SMTP servers. Instead I set up all my accounts using the BT server, as I had done under Orange, but still the outgoing mail failed. It seems that you cannot send mail FROM BTinternet with a reply address different from that associated with the broadband account. I made multiple calls to the help desk and three times operatives used their remote assistance software to take over my screen and check all the settings. Not once did anyone suggest the simple expedient of using, say, the Googlemail SMTP server. On one occasion I even got a help desk supervisor to take over my screen and even he didn't give me an answer.
I had discovered from my own on-line searches that BT appeared to adopt a different policy from Orange when it came to sending out email under a non-BT email address. They require you to *verify* the address first. They give the instructions here... http://www.btyahoo.com/verify. I tried to follow them but the instructions do not line up with the screens you get. It was at this point I got the senior help-desk guy to tandem my screen so he could see what was happening. Even he had to agree that the screens did not match up and it was clear to me by the way his mouse was whizzing around the screen that he had never done this before. However, after a bit of trial and error he got it to work. After declaring your non-BT account, the server sends out an email to the target email account; you log into the target, non-BT account, open the email and copy&paste a ref number into a box on the BT screen. In principle, once you know what to do, its fairly straightforward. However, it didn't work! I still got failures when I tried to send mail from the 'verified' account and I could find no way to list my 'verified' accounts or backtrack and repeat the process.
I even emailed the support people with the query -- more or less the same wording I posted here and, to be fair, I got a phone call pretty quickly following my email. I can't fault them on speed of response. The woman I spoke to suggested I used the alternative server SMTP.MAIL.YAHOO.COM and even suggested that I did not need to set it up with a username/password. Complete nonsense of course and it did not work. She also referred me to BT FON service, which, again was completely irrelevant.
At one point during the day, one guy who took over my screen and, having fiddled around, clearly not knowing what he was doing (the mouse pointer wanderings tell it all!), concluded that he had done his best and BT would have to start charging me if I wanted them to continue working on the problem.
I have wasted hours on this problem and all because (1) I was given wrong information in the first place and (2) I was stupid enough to believe what I was told by an Indian Call Centre (I have learned my lesson now!). They are only capable of understanding and dealing with very simple problems that don't in any way deviate from their script.
The principles appear be:
(1) If you are using the ISP's own, dedicated SMTP service you do not have to check 'my server requires authentication' as the server knows who you are by virtue of the fact that you are coming in via a known broadband line.
(2) You cannot use the ISP's own SMTP server on a different line, say at wifi hotspot, to send your mail using a desktop client even if you check 'my server requires authentication'.
(3) When changing ISPs you cannot leave the old ISP's SMTP server in your account configuration - you must change it.
(4) If you are a peripatetic laptop user and need to be able to use any available internet connection to send your mail, then all you have to do is configure each mail account setting in your desktop client with a non-ISP specific SMTP server. Gmail, Yahoo and Hotmail should work OK or you can use the SMTP server provided by your web hosting company (if it provides email in addition to web space - which most appear to do these days). However, you will have to check 'my server requires authentication' and also provide the username+password for the account, which will different from the POP2 account login.
Does that sound right?
Thanks again for your quick and simple answers. I am very grateful and can only conclude that you don't work for an Indian Call Centre!
