Using WiFi abroad
I live in the UK and travel alot. If I am say in Hong Kong and connect to the free wifi at HK airport, am I going to be charged by O2 for connecting and using that as the data package only applies to the UK.
Ok, so I was at someone's house babysitting and they said they had a wireless router so therefore i could connect to wifi and use my internet on my i-pod touch. Ok, so I was wondering, will they (i-pod Co) bill me for using the wifi or is it free? how does it work? I mean it's like basically mooching off of someone else's internet. I'm just confused on how this all works. please help me out here

No. WiFi is WiFi is WiFi. -
I want to use wifi for Apple TV, but it doesn't prompt for a password, so never connects. What am I missing? Can I only use it via a non-password-protected wifi connection?
Hi - you might want to post this question on the Apple TV area - you would probably get a quicker response - if you have a specific question relating to Apple routers then post back here

I cannot send email over 3G. receiving email over 3G is ok. Using wifi from my landline (glass) is ok. No idea where to find the solution. Suggestions please. Thanks i.a.
TheOneYou need a DATA service enabled by your carrier to be able to send e-mail via thier network. Do you have a data plan with your carrier ? If so - is it enabled ?
Can you access internet thru your network (not wifi) ? -
How can I transfer an App purchased on iTunes on my pc to my iPhone 4s. I have tried synching but this does not make the app appear on my iPhone. I cant use wifi as my chip was fried on the latest update.
When you tried syncing, did you connect the phone, then click on the phone icon near the top left of iTunes, then click on Apps under Settings in the sidebar, then find the app in question and click the Install button beside it before clicking Sync at the bottom right?

My iPad 4 does not show up on my TV screen when in AirPlay mirroring mode using WiFi. The iPad displays AirPlay set to TV with the Mirroring On (green).
My iPad IOS software is 8.2 and my Apple TV software is at 7.1. The TV displays the Apple Menu. The “Settings” does however displays the General menu allowing me to see:
Apple software: 7.1 (7003)
Apple TV: Model No. A1464, Part No. MD199B/A
Signal Strength shows 5 circles.
It does not display the iPad screen but when I use the BT Sport App I can hear the sound but there is no video. I have searched the internet for a solution to no avail. The problem first arose when the IOS was at 8.1+ but it worked correctly briefly when I updated to IOS 8.2. Can you help please?Welcome to the Apple Community.
Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
Check AirPlay is turned on on the Apple TV (turn it off and on if it already is)
Check that both devices are on the same network (Settings > Wifi, on the mobile device and Settings > General > Network, on the Apple TV).
Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
Restart your router. (Also try removing it’s power cord for at least 30 seconds)
Restart your mobile device.

I know it's frowned upon to start two threads on the same topic but I think I was confusing the issue in the other thread so let me simplify this.
My ISPs outgoing mail server is mail.optonline.net If I set my iPhone to use this as it's primary setting, I can send via wifi with no issues.
If, however, I am connected via 3G, it hangs and then fails. If I make cwmx.com my primary outgoing smtp server, it works fine.
Technically, iPhone is supposed to try with the primary mail server first, and upon failure, attempt each of the "other" mail servers in succession. Unfortunately, when using wifi and the primary is set to cwmx.com, it takes about 10 minutes before it realizes it can't send then switches to try mail.optonline.net Sure in the end the mail is getting out, but it's taking too long to try via cwmx.com before trying mail.optonline.net
Is there a way to:
a) use cwmx.com as the primary when on 3G and
b) use mail.optonline.net as the primary when on wifi
Currently, I have to go into settings and turn wifi off before sending any mail from home. hen after it is sent, go back and turn wifi back on. Thanks in advance guys. Please let me know if I am not clear on anything.You're welcome.
This is normal since most ISPs do not have an authenticated SMTP server, and why they don't is beyond me.
Both email accounts that I access with the iPhone's mail client have an authenticated SMTP server, and I've never had any problems sending messages with either account when connected to AT&T's cellular network, or when connected to various wi-fi networks that I access often with different ISPs associated with each.
Most ISPs block the use of SMTP servers that are outside of their network or not provided by the ISP unless the SMTP server is authenticated, which includes AT&T's cellular network. These restrictions are in place as an overall effort to prevent spam emanating from the ISP's domain. Someone who is abusing their privilege sending messages with an authenticated SMTP server can be more easily tracked.
The reason you can send messages with optonline's SMTP server when connected to your wireless network at home is because optonline is your ISP. -
Macbook pro wont connect to internet using cable, but connects using wifi fine
My macbook pro wont connect to the internet using a cable, but connects using wifi fine. I use wifi at home but sometimes need to use my laptop at work and connect using a cable but it says i'm not connected to the internet?
Can you open a terminal and invoke the following commands:
ping -c 10 localhost
and
ping -c 10 google.com
You should normally get something like:

I just went to GameStop to get a used Iphone3 and I can't seem to figure out how to get Internet without using wifi connection. Anyone know how to do so? Everything else works good.
Before you go there call your provider first and have them check the provisioning on the phone. They will ask if you did this when you go to the Genius Bar.

What is the best way to open emails and attachments without using wifi?
For I-phone and I-pad, what is the best way to open emails and attachments without using wifi? I turned off wifi in my settings but my boss thinks there may be another way and a better way to use something else instead of wifi. Any help would be appreciated! Thank you!
Thanks! That is a very good question you post. My boss asked me that and I am assuming that he is having issues with using wifi wherever he is at. My boss is the kind of person that when he asks something you look into it and ask him no questions...he's the only one asking questions! But thank you for your response I will tell him the information you told me and hopefully that will help!

I was downloading podcast video in my itouch using wifi, but suddenly my wifi got disconnected and now there is a link in my podcast list which on opening uses wifi to play that video. I want to delete that link. Right to left swapping is not working.
I bet this is too late but...
Are you trying to print through the airport express wirelessly or the built in wireless of the lexmark? If you want to use the airport express, there is no need to mess with the wireless printing on the lexmark at all. The airport express will be easy to set up, all the wireless setups through the printers are a pain. -
TS1398 After upgrade to iOS 6 i am not able to use wifi.
Connected, but no wifi traffic (at home).
After upgrade to iOS 6 i am not able to use wifi. I am connected to my home wifi but no trafic is coming through (safari, skype, twitter, app store). I have even tried recovery of my iPhone 4S using iTunes as well as using iPhone. But without effect.
Can not connect at all (at work).
Thank you for helpfull advice.
Vladimir
Please do not give me advice like:
switch proxy to auto
turn the flight mode on and off
turn the iphone on and off
release the ip
recovery the network settings
recovery firmware
I have tried all these, but did not work.
PS to apple:
I really did not expect this kind of trouble. If I would want to waste my time "repairing my device", I would buy an android phone!!!!!!This helped me solve the problem:
I have changed the security from TKIP to AES and now my wifi works fine /sofar/.

Asha 302 doesn't want to use WiFi
So I'm a user of Nokia Asha 302 and though I generally love the phone, one problem just gives me nightmares.
Namely, I can't do almost anything requiring WiFi. The only thing that works is the stock browser - if I want to use the built-in email client, it gives me "connection error, please try again later" prompt. If i want to install opera - same thing, I can download the package from the Ovi Store but as soon as installation starts, it requires my GPRS connection rather than the WiF that it's connected to and which is working.
I have WiFi set as defaut and always select it as the desired connection method when asked to but it just doesn't work. How can I force the phone to use WiFi for such tasks and not my packets which I have to pay for?
I googled my head off and found absolutely nothing. The onky method I found involved adding some custom configs like "my web" and such and even though I followed the instructions, it hadn't helped a bit.
Could someone please tell me how to fix it?
Solved!
Go to Solution.Hello,
Setting the mobile APN manually might help so that the phone will use WiFi when available. Please check these links for the steps required:
