Using the iphone to access a network printer
I have an iphone 8gb and after reading this forum was able to get wifi to work and many thanks! Anyway I have a OKI c5150n laser printer on my network and was wondering if anyone can tell me if I can download the drivers to my iphone so I can print? I tried to go to the website OKI.com and download the drivers from my iphone but it doesnt seem to work.
thanks in advance

No, you cannot print from your iPhone. Not yet. Let Apple know if you think this would be a good feature:

Using the iPad to access a Networked drive?
Greetings,
Has anyone any experience using an iPad 2 to access a networked drive?
I have a iPad 2 with the newest release of iOS. I am using a app to access my laptop. The app works well at this, but I'd like to access a networked drive that I use for all the computers in my home (all running Snow Leopard).
I use a LaCie D2 (which I have learned may not be compatible with Lion, but that's another story...) which is connected directly (ethernet 10/100) to a wireless router. I use this drive to store iTunes and as a backup drive for 3 computers in my home.
The D2 uses a "network manager" application on each computer to mount shares, the D2 is partitioned in such a way that there are 2 "shares" for each computer, a "common share" which is the same for all computers and a "private share" that is specific to that computer. Using the Network Manager I create shares on the D2 by creating "user profiles" (actually each "user profile" is a specific workstation/computer). When the computer starts up, the Network Manager loads and the shares appear. The NAS device has its own IP address.
The iPad does not have a "network manager" app. Instead I am using a file sharing app from ITunes. The app works pretty well in accessing my laptop (using it's IP address). I would like to use it to access the networked drive too.
Has anyone successfully used their iPad 2 to access a networked drive?
The problem with the LaCie D2 with Lion is of concern. Looking toward the future does anyone have recommendations for using a different Networked drive? If so, what drive and manufacturer?
Thank you,

Any way to use the iPhone on a WiFi network that requires me to..
1. Enter both username and password
2. Download a specific digital certificate before connecting
Can the iPhone do this? All the WiFi networks on colleges and universities here in Norway use the same login and password with a specific digital certificate.OK, so your old iTunes library was on your PC and now the library is on your Mac? Do I have that right? Your iPhone and iPad were auto syncing to the PC and now you connect them to your Mac and it wants to clear out the media?
This is important, do you have in your iTunes library on your new Mac, the media you want now? Or are you trying to move your media by copying what is on the iPhone/iPad to your iTunes? -
I used to be a softbank Japan Iphone 4 customer and i had cleared all the dues. Now i don't have softbank contract and i am in my country Nepal. How can i unlock and use my Iphone here in Nepalese Network ?
Hi Edward,
You should still be able to manually manage the music on your iPhone within iTunes. Make sure that when your iPhone is plugged in, look in the Summary tab to see if “Manually manage music and videos” is enabled and you can even you turn off Automatically Sync when this iPhone is connected. Take a look at the first article below to give more information on that. As far as your other questions about calling someone, I have provided two options for you. If it is for feedback on iTunes, you can use the second link to give detailed feedback on what is going on. If you want to actually talk to someone, the last link has a list of numbers for you to call for any support or service that you may need.

When away from my home, I need to utilize iPhone Hotspot (AT&T). I can access RoadRunner Webmail and download to my iPhone with or without the hotspot. But, if I wish to use the Iphone Hotspot to download email via the Apple mail program on my laptop, I get an error message indicating: "The sender address [username redacted]@twcny.rr.com was rejected by the server smtp-server.twcny.rr.com" but I am able to access internet sites. Anyone run into this issue? Any fixes? Thankx
See if anything here helps.

Can i use the Iphone 4S as a modem for a Samsung Laptop?
I've tried to link the samsung with the IPHONE 4S via bluetooth. This appeared to be successful. However I failed to get internet access on the laptop via the iphone's 3G data network.
Is there a way to do this. Reason being is the laptop user needs would like to access the internet / obtain emails etc on his laptop whilst travelling to and from work. His train doesn't have wifi. I thought connecting the iphone and the laptop via bluetooth to get a connection via the phone network would be the answer but this doesn't seem to be the case.
Can anyone advise or is the only option to get a dongle for the laptop?Yes, It does work via wifi but the person I am helping wants it to work in a non-wifi environment (his train doesn't have wifi) and he doesn't want to use a wifi dongle to incur extra charges. So the only way I seemed to be able to get round this is using the USB cable. The laptop then seemed to register the device automatically under networks and I was then able to connect and use his Iphone 3G connection.

Does the iPhone 4 access the 24 satellites placed into orbit by the U.S ?
I want to know the answer to this question, as I am considering several options to use OS !:25K maps like Viewranger for walking in the UK countryside.
The options I am considering are:
1. Satmap
2. Garmin Montana
3. Memory Map Adventurer 3500
4. An android phone such as HTC Desire with ViewRanger map app system
5. iPhone with ViewRanger map app system
(The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a satellite-based navigation system made up of a network of 24 satellites placed into orbit by the U.S. Department of Defense. GPS was originally intended for military applications, but in the 1980s, the government made the system available for civilian use. GPS works in any weather conditions, anywhere in the world, 24 hours a day. There are no subscription fees or setup charges to use GPS.)
This is the system that Garmin accesses.
I know you have to have line of sight with several satellites to get a fix
I need very acurate and fast fixes of position, even though walking, one doesn't want to be hanging around to get a fix for any length of time.
Battery life and waterproofing are also to be considered, as the unit would be switched on all day.
I have Viewranger maps on my iPod Touch which doesn't have GPS technology inside. So I could transfer my App and maps to an iPhone or an android phone.
Apple do not seem to make it clear if they use the above mentioned system. If they have, then I apologise.
I would be interested to hear from any UK walkers that use the iPhone with 1:25K mapping, and how they get on with it?
Thank you, in advance for your repliesJulian,
I haven't decided, yet, which way to go.
Lawrence
I have an iPod Touch and invested in the ViewRanger mapping system for it believing it had a gps system built in.
It appears to have, as it has logo that tries to aquire satellites in the top left hand corner. But it doesn't work and after much digging I finally found, on the forum, that there is no active software in the Touch.
So I have viewRanger map system that I could transfer to any phone with gps, including Apple.
The other option is to cut my losses on the ViewRanger system and go for a dedicated gps unit that meets my needs. And this is the way I am leaning to as no one has yet convinced me to do otherwise.
The problem with Memory-Map is it is PC dependant, The maps are supplied on CDs for download from a PC to the units SD card. No maps are supplied on SD cards!!!
And although I have an Intel Mac which can riun Windows, this system involves a lot of messing around. There is no proper Mac support.
So Garmin is the front runner, with all maps available on SD cards, and with the new models due out this month, with 48 satelite and a claimed 20% faster aquisition. Acuracy should also be improved. And Garmin is Mac friendly!!
I'm not knocking iPhone
But, as you say it is a jack of all trades and master of none.
I have a Touch which I use as a PIM, and a very good one it is too.
I use Nikon cameras for photography.
And a Blackberry phone
Ive been using Mac computers sind early 80's, and would never go back to PC.
Horses for courses.
And Apple isn't as acurate as Garmin, etc. I've seen reports that the positioning can sometimes be out by 100,s of metres
I haven't seen any claims by Apple on the acuracy of their gps. -

Can you use the iPhone wirelessly without activating AT&T?
FIrst, I HATE AT&T, the coverage is awful and I am very happy with Verizon. I would like to use the iPhone as more of a PDA, and having a PDA with wireless connectivity would be great.
Do you have to activate the phone plan, or can you just use it with a wireless connection?
Any chance they will eventually offer it with other carriers?
Thanks
JohnWell you can be sure Apple will not make a product for Verizon for at least five years, as that is how long its contract lasts with ATT. That contract prevents Apple from allowing the iPhone to work on anybody else's network, and from making any phones for non-GSM networks. The only other GSM network in the US is T-Mobil. SO I suspect Apple can make a non iPhone for T-Mobile before its deal with ATT expires.
Also, you can try going to ATT and telling them you want the iPhone, however, you will not provide them your social security number, and ask are there any options available to you. They may tell you that you can use the iPhone as a Go-Phone (they are not adversing this, but it is in their policy manual). After a month, cancel the go phone service (as there is no contract). Also, ATT generally allows you to cancel a contract with 30 days. So they might just let you cancel the contract, and your iPhone will probably still work (the non phone features).

I am a current O2 customer in the UK and I have used various Nokia phones (and IR & bluetooth) to connect an iPaq and various laptops to a mainframe computer (ie. a modem on the end of a standard UK landline phone number).
At times I had to wrestle with O2 customer support to sort out the "modem" capability and it became apparent this ability was a configuration on my O2 account (I swapped between Orange and O2) in addition to the phones ability.
Most of the discussion here seems to be generated by US AT&T customers where it seems AT&T dont allow this sort of customer usage. O2 do.
So the million dollar question is, will we be able to use the iPhone as a modem in the UK to access other computers, with handhelds & laptops?
Cheers
Ericfor what it is worth, I asked O2 that question as for me it will be the deciding factor in whether I buy one or not. Their response (the relevant bit) is pasted below and is very non-committal as to whether they are not allowed to say or simply don't know.
+Thank you for emailing us to find out if the iPhone can be used as a modem.+
+I'm unable to tell you if you the iPhone can be used as a modem. For full detail on the iPhone, please visit the manufacturers website by clicking on the link below:+
+http://www.apple.com/iphone/+
So come on Apple, you have a technically near-perfect product, an eager customer base willing to cough up their money for your product rather than a competitors at a moment's notice and a complete lack of information from or interest on your part in providing the last little function of what your customers need! Even if the connection is only EDGE speed rather than broadband, for those of us who use your laptop products as a necessity on the road, it at least provides a way of connecting our laptops to the net to access functions the iPhone really can't do (such as databases and SOA access) and really wouldn't want it to.
Put everyone out of their misery and open up with the information we need and open up the iPhone to what it really can do.

Can I use the iPhone 6 t-mobile version with straight talk?
Can I use the iPhone 6 t-mobile version with straight talk?
All,
I have read and understand most of the post (s) on this: Apple Support Community:
It looks like the long way around my elbow approach: (piecing together an iPhone 6+ with a Straight Talk AT&T /T Mobile; Compatible Nano SIM Card) may yet work, just a bit gun shy on the $949.00 cost for the iPhone 6+ from Apple.
I live in Hawaii on the island of Oahu (north shore), and have an iPhone 4 8gb cdma iPhone which is on Verizon's network rebranded by TFW / Straight Talk for several years. It works fine but I need an iPhone with more storage.
I have had a talk / chat with both sides Apple & Straight Talk, neither have real answers to support using the iPhone 6+ with Straight Talk as a carrier.
On the Apple site: " http://www.apple.com/iphone/LTE/ ". It is clear that Straight Talk has certified their LTE network with iPhone 6/6+ to meet basic standards.
I / we need all of the successful trail braisers on this community to post what works & what does not work.
What I plan / have to purchase / buy:
Direct from Apple:
1. Contract-free iPhone 6 Plus 128GB Space Gray (GSM) T-Mobile. (pending research to ensure it will work). Apple confirms, without the T Mobile nano sim that this iPhone is unlocked.
Direct from Straight Talk:
2. AT&T /T Mobile; Compatible Nano SIM Card. (GSM; on its way)
Would have purchased a Verizon Nano SIM Card from Straight Talk but they do not seem to have one.
All support, advice & information is greatly appreciated.

Hi all..
can any one help me in this regard..
I wanna buy a new IPhone.. but my problem is am going back to INDIA in september. So can i use the IPHONE in india permanently. Does this WORK ??The iPhone is sold in the U.S. as carrier locked with AT&T Wireless only which means you cannot use another GSM network provider's SIM card with the iPhone so if this is what you mean, the answer is no.

My home envirornment is an older Mini Mac running 10.5.8 with a PowerPC G4 processor ( I know, it's old). I also use an iPhone 3S, accessing my mac mail account. Do I have to upgrade my computer to a faster processor to use iCloud?
Hello,
You can't upgrade to any faster, & especially not to an Intel CPU needed to run Lion/10.7 for full iCloud usage.
You can have limited use of iCloud the way it is, you can view all of iCloud in a Browser, You can use Find my Phone I hear, & you can use IMAP Mail for syncing, but no other syncing.
iCloud Mail setup...

Server name: imap.mail.me.com
