Using university's wifi network

im trying to connect to my university's wireless network but im having difficulties. To access the network you need a username and password but i cant find where to put these details into the wifi settings on the ipod touch. the wifi network runs on WPA and on the ipod touch it justs asks for the password of the wpa key. i've set this network on my laptop and i dont need the wpa key only my username and password for the university but on the touch its asks for the wpa password.
is this even possible on the ipod touch???

Welcome to the Forums, sean86!
Scratch it twice...I believe DRoadkill is incorrect. It's true that the IPT supports VPN, but VPN connections require a key (password, RSA token, etc.), not a username and password as you need to enter. Most likely, your university is using 802.1X authentication (aka WPA2 Enterprise, which requires entry of both a username and a password, and is not the same as a VPN). 802.1X is used by many universities and corporations, as it's a very secure way to control wireless access.
Assuming that's the case, it is not possible on the IPT, yet. The v2.0 software upgrade, due out in June, will support 802.1X, as stated here.
Hope this helps...

In my preferences on my mac mini when i click it, i find the lock the open even after changing the password what would cause this?I use my home wifi network and have never given the password out,as I asked what could cause this?

What could cause the lock in my preferences to seemingly to click open on there own,I use my home wifi network which is private and have never given out that password either for my network or preferences password.....help,Thank you

You're welcome.
Voicemail is left at your carrier's server. That will continue to work unless you report your iPhone as lost or stolen with your carrier.
You may never find it again and you can't if the iPhone remains offline or out of service which means the iPhone is powered off or doesn't have cellular reception.

I have an airport express that i am using for my wifi network to include iphone 4 ipad2 windows vista laptop and a hp eprint printer. My internet is coming from my iphone 4 via peronal hotspot.

The problem is i only am able to be on one or the other, at first i was able to be on internet and connected to wifi network thus being able to surf and print how do i need to fix this?

You are asking several different questions. If you need to store your photos, music, and movies on an external volume, you certainly can. Any externally connected hard disk drive will work, connected either directly to your Mac or to your Time Capsule as a shared volume.
You should not rely upon using that as a backup device though. Although you certainly may use it for both purposes, it is a better idea to have dedicated backup devices for a variety of reasons not limited to redundancy. You would not want to simultaneously lose all your pictures as well as your backup. If they are all on the same device, that could happen. Furthermore, a backup cannot back up the volume on which it is running.
As for adding an Extreme or Express, using its LAN port for your iMac, and then enable Internet sharing so you can effectively use the iMac as a "hotspot", you can do that too, but I am unclear on what benefit you believe this arrangement would convey for you.
An Extreme's Guest network is separate from its Main network; that is the reason for having it.

WIP310 to use in a wifi network without VoIP ?? It's possible??

I want to know if I can use the WIP310 to communicate with each other in a WiFi network, without having PABX or VoIP services similar assets.
The WIP310 will be used by a hotel manager to call the waiters.
Thanks for any response.

Hi Stefano,
Sadly, you will need some form of "call control-PABX" that is
SIP capable

Are LAN ports on Airport Extreme active when used to extend WiFi network?

I am thinking of buying an Airport Extreme to wirelessly extend the dual-band WiFi network from my Time Capsule. In this scenario, with the Extreme configured as a bridge, would I be able to use the LAN ports on the Extreme to join some AV kit to the network?
Thanks ... Simon

How to activate an iPhone using a hotel wifi network

Just bought an iPhone 5 (and no SIM card yet) and trying to activating it using a wifi network from an hotel.... issue is that the wifi network from the hotel is not locked but requires a username/password the first time you connect to it and that appears not to be supported by the iPhone.
Any solution for this?
I've also installed iTune on my pc but when I connect the iPhone it requests the iPhone to have a SIM card...

i know that they don't sell sim cards,but they have sim cards there they activate it then they put it out.i was in the same situation as you and this was what i did

Cannot send email only when I am using my school wifi network

Hi,
I cannot send emails when I am in my school's wifi network. It is fine at home. But I am the only one at school experiencing this problem. I tried turning off and then on the iphone, deleting all my mail accounts and then reinstalling them, updating iphone to the newest firmware, restoring the iphone to factory settings, etc. but nothing worked so far.
I have a yahoo mail and an exchange server email and they both send and receive normally in my home wifi network.
The problem I get at school is that when I click send for an email, it keeps writing "sending" without actually sending it and then the only way to stop this loop (which could last hours) is to restart the phone and then deleting the email from the outbox. Before restarting the phone I cannot delete the email from the outbox.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks..

Can you share photos between machines that use the same wifi network? Thanks for your help.

Can you share photos on i-photo between machines that use the same network or even between different accounts on the same machine? I know you can share music on i-tunes but can you do the same on i-photo? Thanks for your help.

Yes.
If you want the other user to be able to see the pics, but not add to, change or alter your library, then enable Sharing in your iPhoto (Preferences -> Sharing), leave iPhoto running and use Fast User Switching to open the other account. In that account, enable 'Look For Shared Libraries'. Your Library will appear in the other source pane.
Any user can drag a pic from the Shared Library to their own in the iPhoto Window.
Remember iPhoto must be running in both accounts for this to work.
You can figure out using it with another machine from that too

Two Iphones on the same WiFi network, using the same Apple ID receive calls meant for only one of the phones.

My husband and I each have an IPhone 6. We are using the same WiFi network and the same Apple ID, the phone numbers are different. When we are at home, both phone receive calls meant for one of the phones. Call can be answered from either phone. Is this a new feature and How can I turn it off?

go into settings then FaceTime then turn off iPhone cellular calls

Using Airport Express as separate wifi network vs extender with Time Capsule?

Hello all. I recently converted my home computer network from Windows/PC based to an iMac with Time Capsule. On my previous setup, I had a Cisco/Linksys router with wifi, and I also had two Airport Expresses in separate areas of the house where the Linksys had a weak signal. Obviously, I had the Airport Expresses set up as "separate" wifi networks, as they could not be used as network extenders with the Linksys. This setup seemed to work really good, as the 3 wifi networks provided good blanket coverage in all parts of the house. Each network also seemed to "hand-off" to the other pretty well, meaning that Airport Express 1 would show as the active network when you moved far enough away from the Linksys (or insert any of the network names here, even though I'm pretty sure that the device accessing the network has more to do with this than the networks themselves). In particular, the speeds that I got from the Airport Expresses actually eclipsed the speeds that I would get from the Linksys wifi.
My issue is that after I converted everything, I left the Airport Expresses as "separate networks" and essentially removed the Linksys/Cisco router and replaced it with the Time Capsule. So I still have 3 separate wifi networks, just like before, with the Time Capsule network taking the place of the Linksys wifi network. While the Linksys and the Airport Expresses seemed to co-exist together nicely, I get the feeling that the TC and the AEs are somehow working against each other or at least competing with each other for bandwidth. For example, if I have my iPhone right beside my iMac and TC, and I run a speed test on the iPhone using the TC wifi network, I get download and upload speeds in the range that I am expecting (30-40 mbps download). However, when I walk down the hallway to the other end of the house, the TC tends to remain the dominant wifi network, even when I am in the same room with one of the AEs (this is where they used to "hand off" nicely between networks). When you run a speed test in this location still on the TC wifi, the speed drops down to 5-7 mbps, and worse, I believe the signal becomes inconsistent because webpages and data often seem to be freezing in the middle of downloading. I understand that the distance from the TC is causing this, because my solution has been to manually switch from the TC to the closest AE, and that fixes the issue. Run a speed test after I manually switch to the closest AE when I am in the same room as an AE, and the speeds pop back up to 30-40 mbps.
My question is this: would switching the AEs to "extenders" of the TC wifi network help this issue? Honestly, my laziness was one reason that I did not do this when I setup the TC initially, because I have several devices that access the AE wifi networks that I'd have to update with the new network name and password. Everything was working great before, and I just didn't want to upset the apple cart. But if I have created an unfriendly environment between the TC and the two AEs, I certainly have no problem making the change now. I just wasn't sure if making this change would fix my problem or not. I know it's a mundane thing, but I'd like to be able to roam the house without continuously having to manually switch between wifi networks to get a consistent signal.
Sorry if this is a simple issue. I am admittedly a newbie with the TC and its interaction with the AEs.
Thanks in advance!!

It is not a simple issue.
Exactly which method works best is going to take some experimentation.
The way you are trying to set it up as a roaming network is generally considered the best.. but the devices like iphones do not hand off neatly.
It is interesting that they in fact used to hand off better using the Linksys.. which could be due to its poorer range. The new TC having so much better range is causing the phones to not swap "towers" to the local express.
Test it with a Mac laptop.. as generally they do hand off better.
I cannot quite figure out if you are using roaming correctly. All the wireless should have identical names, with identical security setting and passwords.
The only thing that should be different is wireless channels on each item. And you are likely just using auto anyway.
So each device is creating a wireless network. And for 2.4ghz one should be channel 1, then another channel 6 and another channel 11. For 5ghz it will be same idea but there are more channels available.
When you extend wireless, everything runs the same channel. But the wireless speed is reduced. You must disconnect ethernet to each of the expresses.. and the problem is your 30-40mbps will reduce permanently to 15-20mbps for all clients. So take your choice.. 15-20mbps for all clients forced to double hop is better than 5-7mbps which you experience now when you walk around.. although I am not sure how much browsing you do whilst walking. You may need to compromise which is the better out of several not great alternatives.
I would have a test.. which is wrong btw.. but I have heard that it works.
In your roaming network at the present time. Try setting each router to a manual wireless channel.. and fix all of them the same. So for instance, set 2.4ghz to channel 11. Try fixing the 5ghz as well, say the TC is defaulting to 149, it might not actually respond to manual wireless channels.. you will need to test this.. say set to 36 or 40 and see if the TC is actually changed.. if not just set all the expresses to 149 as well. What you are doing is trying to reinforce the wireless in each area.. but this is actually wrong. So all will have same wireless name and same security wpa2 personal is the only valid one.. and all the same password.
Test with a few clients and see if the results give you decent local speeds as well as better roaming.. once you decide which to do, then you will need to change all the clients.

Wifi network printing using Canon Pixma MP600R

Hi, we've just bought the MP600R printer to use as a wifi network printer for three macs. An emac, an ibook and a macbook. All the computers are running different versions of the Mac OS from 10.3 through to Leopard (housekeeping!)
Anyway we've read all the troubles with Leopard so are prepared for the problems but the other probem we've encountered is that the first computer connected perfectly well (it has a 10 x 4 operating system) but since then none of the others will communicate with the printer.
Is this something to do with registering mac address with the printer? Has anyone set up more than one mac attached to the MP600R before? Any suggestions gratefully received. Life is too short to be this puzzled. best Livia

Hello Livia,
I have an MP600R that is being connected to wirelessly via 10.4, 10.5 and XP.
The first step with the configuration is choosing the wireless network the MP600R will connect to. The second step is setting the ip address; either static - which means you enter the numbers, or dynamic -which means the wireless router sets the address. Both of these functions have to be done when the printer is connected to the computers USB port.
Once the printer is connected to the wireless network, then on the Mac's you use the More Printers > Canon IJ Network setting to find the printer and print to it. When you browse the printer will be displayed with its MAC address in brackets.
For those that are not able to connect to the printer, you may find that they are using different ip address to the Tiger Mac and MP600R. Check your network settings on all machines to ensure they are using the same address subnet (typically the first three sets of numbers in the address).
If the addresses are on the same subnet, then there may be something wrong with the driver software. When you go to add the printer, do you see the MP600R after selecting More Printers > Canon IJ Network?

What to do if you can't access a wifi network and showing you message that your airport has a self-assigned IP and cannot be connected to the internet?

Hi,
i am currently using 10.6.8 snow leopard
i usually access internet through my broadband modem and wifi at home.
i've been using our home wifi network for almost 1 week now (since it's new) and almost everyone at home use it as well.
and im using my broadband everytime i go out.
this last week, i went to a vacation and i use the wifi connection of the hotel where i stay in.
my connection works fine and so i don't use my broadband anymore.
then i got home..
when i got home.. i tried to connect to our home wifi network again .
like what im doing before, im clicking the airport icon on the top of my desktop,
and since my airport is always on, the next step that im doing is to click the preferred network that i want to join and put the password on it.
this is perfectly working in my macbook before i left.
but now , it's not working to my laptop anymore! i can't connect to it!
after putting the password and hitting the enter, the airport icon at the top will run, however after seconds it showing gray color with exclamation point on it!
the alert is showing : No internet connection
but the network i joined is still checked and showing full signal !
i tried checking my Network under system preferrence and the airport tab in the left corner is showing me a message that
my airport has the self-assigned IP address 169.***.****.** and will not be able to connect to internet!
i don't know what happen and i dont understand why is this happening since everyone at home can still use and access our home wifi !!
it's the same network that i'm trying to connect to anyway!
i tried using my broadband instead to connect online and it works fine!
but everytime i try to connect using wifi at home , again i cant connect!
anyone can tell me what's going on?
i haven't try joining other network anyway! but i'm planning to do so..
can some one help me please??
showing me a message that
my airport has the self-assigned IP address 169.***.****.** and will not be able to connect to internet!

and now, when i tried to check again my network preference below the airport tab is showing a message that
"my airport does not have an IP address and cannot connect to the internet!"
then after seconds it will goes back to the first message that
"airport has the self assigned IP address etc....."
i don't know whats going on now!
airport tab is not showing green color anyway! i'ts always in yellow!
i tried turning it on and off but nothing happen! HEEELLLLPP!!!!

Why can't I get iTunes to work on my parents' wifi network?

I am home for the holidays, and I cannot play any of my music through the cloud, or preview songs in iTunes using my parents' wifi network. I can connect to the internet through their wifi network to search using safari, and I can browse and search within the iTunes store. Nothing happens when I try to preview songs in the store, or listen to music or watch TV shows in my library, though. Does anyone have any ideas as to what could be going on? Thanks!

Hello rhofer
If you are having issues with connecting to the iTunes Store, check out the first article for some tips and also ensure that the router at your parents home are using the recommended settings.

Securing my MacBook on a Open Wifi Network

Ive been using some open wifi networks that I have been finding all over the place, does this mean they can access my macbook?
How do i make sure that i can use these open wifi networks but thay can access my files?
Thanks in advance.
Macbook Mac OS X (10.4.7) Black

Please don't kid yourselves guys. It may not seem right to you that it can be illegal to connect to an open network without permission, but there has been cases in the UK and the US where people have been arrested and convicted for this particular thing.
Just because it doesn't seem wrong, doesn't mean it isn't illegal. Whether it is illegal in Australia remains to be seen, that is a court decisison will probably decide and I wouldn't want to be the first person on trial if I was him.
The idea is that you are using someone else's bandwidth without permission, thus committing theft. If you walk into an unlocked house and take a Television, it is still theft, regardless of whether the door was unlocked. If you take a car which has the keys in the ignition and the doors wide open, it is still theft.
In many, many countries the legal system will consider the same to be the case with using other people's bandwidth. If you are cracking someone's password, you are clearly committing a crime, but you may not be in the clear simply because you don't have to.
There is also no reason to get defensive about this, I am simply giving someone a friendly warning. I have myself used open networks in the past, but will certainly be careful about it in the future.
