    Some more information other than why would help. Does your service provider allow cellular data on your plan? Do you have cellular data turned on? Are you in a area with cellular coverage?

  • Why can't I get my iMessage & ICloud to work on my iPad???

    Why can't I get my iMessage & ICloud to work on my iPad???

    No idea.
    Perhaps if you gave a few details of exactly what happens, exactly what you've tried, exactly what troubleshooting steps you've taken, and what error messages you get we may be able to offer some suggestions.
    However, with zero info to go on, it's impossible to say.

  • Why can't I get internet from my AirPort Express?

    I have an AirPort Express. I have three iPhones, two MacBooks, one iMac, one iPad, two Xbox 360's, a Wii and an HP printer connected to it. My dad has a toshiba laptop running windows vista and I can't get internet from it. I can connect to the AirPort Express just fine. I have exelent signal and all. But when I try to go online it says I dont have any internet. I ran the diogostics and it said theres no internet connection when clearly there is when I have all these devises connected to it without any problem at all. Can someone please help me out and tell me why and how I can fix it?

    Hi - I just upgraded from an Airport Extreme to Time Capsule.  The MacBook Pros and old iBook went on the new network fine, but my Toshiba did the same thing as yours.  After hours of trying to figure out the settings myself (including reading this forum), a couple of calls to Apple and lots of troubleshooting they referred to me Toshiba.  It took two calls to Toshiba (and a $49 troubleshooting fee), but it's now working.  The second tech took over my computer remotely, deleted the old Atheros network software and did an upgrade.  It's working great now!  Good luck.

  • Why can I not get internet access today?

    I was not able to get internet access at home this morning and now I can't get it at the office. G-mail says the mail server is not responding. Also, none of my apps are loading. Verizon, please fix this!

        Criggs, we have work to do! We can't have you without service and access to your g-mail account. Do you have wireless or landline service? Which wireless phone do you have?

  • Why can I not get Internet or email but can Skype?

    Help!
    Can use Skype but can't get Internet or email on my MacBook pro - no problems at all with iPad or iPhone getting onto wifi.
    No proxies, deleted & recreated airport network.
    Reset by BT home hub.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Skype is probably set to start when you boot your computer. It could be the culprit as it has a tendency to steal a lot of bandwidth from other applications. Try disabling it on startup by going to System Preferences under Accounts, then to Login Items, and by removing Skype from the list (you can add it back later). Reboot your Mac and tell us if you still have problems browsing the Web or sending/receiving email.

  • Why can't I get internet in my area?

    I am a Comcast Wireless customer but I currently have Comcast for internet. Comcast's customer service is horrible!  Unfortunately, they are the ONLY internet service provider I can get because Verizon doesn't offer internet service for my address.  What do I have to do to get request internet for our area?  I would switch to Verizon for all my services IF I could get internet.

    Opps...   I am a VERIZON Wireless customer (not a Comcast wireless; thank goodness they don't offer that!)

  • HT1277 why can't i get mail from iCloud on macbook pro 2011?

    When  I click mail on system preferences (mail & notes) it starts then unchecks. This happens in both mail settings when I try to set up new account and in iCloud

    Hi, do you have old settings from MobileMe or dot Mac maybe?
    Do not delete the old account yet. sign up for an iCloud account if you haven't.
    I understand .mac mail will still come through. Do not delete the old account yet.
    You cannot use .mac or MobileMe as type of Account, you have to choose IMAP when setting up, otherwise Mail is hard coded to change imap.mail.me.com to mail.me.com & smtp.mail.me.com to smtp.me.com, no matter what you try to enter.
    iCloud Mail setup, do not choose .mac or MobileMe as type, but choose IMAP...
    On second step where it asks "Description", it has to be a unique name, but you can still use your email address.
    IMAP (Incoming Mail Server) information:
              •          Server name: imap.mail.me.com
              •          SSL Required: Yes
              •          Port: 993
              •          Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
              •          Password: Your iCloud password
    SMTP (outgoing mail server) information:
              •          Server name: smtp.mail.me.com
              •          SSL Required: Yes
              •          Port: 587
              •          SMTP Authentication Required: Yes
              •          Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
              •          Password: Your iCloud password
    Also, you must upgrade your password to meet the new criteria:  8 characters, including upper and lower case and numbers.  If you have an older password that does not meet these criteria, when you try to setup mail on your mac, using all of the IMAP criteria listed above, it will still give a server error message.  Go to   http://appleid.apple.com         then follow directions to change your password, then go back to setting up your mail using the IMAP instructions above.
    Thanks to dpepper...

  • Why can't I get internet away from home?

    I have mini iPad that is only WiFi capable.   As long as I am home, I have no problems connecting to internet.  I have my desktop for that.  I need my ipad for use away from the house.  It never connects - I must be missing something in my settings.  The public places, businesses, stores have provided me their passwords and to no avail.  I am ready to wipe everything off my tablet and sell it.  It is worthless to me at this point.  Help!

    When you go to such a place you need to do two things:
    Settings > WiFI ... select the place's network and enter the password.
    Generally (not every time, but very frequently), the place will have a "Terms and Conditions" you must agree to in order to use their WiFi.  Those Terms and Conditions will appear either once you enter the WiFi password, or as soon as you open Safari.  Let them appear and agree to them.

  • Why can't I get Outlook for Mac connected to Network?

    I have a friend who recently bought a MacBook Pro after having a pc forever. She had Apple migrate all her data over to the MacBook Pro. We then installed Office for Mac 2011. Her preference was/is to use Outlook for her emal. This only became known to me after I got her email set up and working in Mail. I then proceeded to set up Outlook with the exact same settings that I successfully used for Mail, i.e., incoming and outdgoing servers, ports, SSL, authentication (name and password), etc. There was a brief time when it was up and running, but inexplicably, this is no longer the case. The error message I get continues to point to authentication and her ISP's denial of services. Has anyone else had this problem? I've heard Microsoft's Outlook can be finicky.Any help would be appreciated.

    I guess I was hoping that I might find other Mac users who have Office for Mac 2011, encountered the same issue, and had something to offer by way of a solution.
    But I will also take your suggestion and post on the forum link you provided.
    Thanks, btw, for the link.
