Why do we have to choose between wifi calling and continuity?

I live in a low spot, so signal doesn't make it into my house great from my current provider. I'm looking to buy an iPhone 6 switch to T-Mobile because WiFi calling was touted in the iPhone 6 release as this great new feature. But I have also been looking forward to being able to answer calls on my iPad Air, and my wife on her Macbook Air. In fact, we bought the Macbook Air and my wife's iPhone 5S partially because this feature was touted at the announcement of the new features in iOS 8 and Yosemite this summer. Now I'm finding out that we are being forced to choose one of these great features; we cannot have both active. So in my home where signal strength is a problem, I can use WiFi calling, but not continuity. Is this something that will be allowed in a future update? It's extremely frustrating to find out that you can't take advantage of all the features you were told would work on your new $800 device.

When I first joined att I got a brand new $500 phone for $200 just for signing a 2 year agreement. This was a pretty good deal in my opinion. Then t mobile started their cheaper bills but you have to pay full price for a phone thing. They decided to let people make payments to help out a bit. This was also a pretty good deal seeing as how your bill would be that much lower. Now att has the same expensive plans but decided to add t mobiles idea of making us pay the full price of the phone. Oh but we get to make payments so I guess it's okay.
So instead of paying $200 now, we get to pay $600 over 30 months. The worst part is that people seem to love this idea. I haven't heard one person complain about it. Are people that dumb that they actually think this is a better deal? If you wanted to make payments, you'd be better off putting $200 on a credit card and paying the interest for 30 months then paying the full price of the phone.

Why can I have a difference between Transferred Records and Added Records

Hello gurus,
What could be the reason for the difference between the Transferred records and the added records in the request for an InfoObjects?
I have in RSA3 6452 Records and in the Manage-InfoObject 1002 Records.
thanks for your help

- already existing master data (changed but not new)
- start routine with deletion
- duplicate records (with error handling activated)
- end routine

Why must I turn off wifi calling for continuity to work?

I find it extremely frustrating that I have to choose between either the continuity features (dialing/receiving calls from iPad/mac, handoff) and WiFi calling on Tmobile. Both were features that were advertised heavily, while there was no mention that they wouldnt work together. Besides- wouldnt it be easier to handoff calls if they are over WiFi and there is no cell network involved?
*rant

I also want to use WiFi calling because the T-Mobile signal in my home area isn't strong. I also really like the Continuity feature that lets me leave my phone "wherever" in the house and catch or make calls from either my iMac, MacBook Pro or iPad (which are typically in different rooms) when the phone isn't at hand.
Not being able to use WiFi Calling and Continuity at the same time is indeed both disappointing and frustrating.
It makes little sense without at least Apple saying why this can't happen simultaneously. Which protocol is being used to "transmit" calls between the iPhone and other devices?
It doesn't make sense when I try to imagine any kind of conflict, since my iPhone is great at using Bluetooth, Cellular and WiFi all at the same time (I can browse the internet using Safari, while on a cellular call via a bluetooth headset). Hopefully it's just a software thing that hasn't been programmed in yet, and will appear with a future update? One can hope!
[EDIT] PS: It may also have something to do with T-Mobile, since they are still the only ones directly supporting the feature... I'm investigating...

How does iPad choose between wifi and 3G when both are 'on'?

Easy peasy question.
I have 02 and Wifi going on my iPad. I know I can use 02 out and about and I know I can use wifi at home etc.
But when I'm at home how do I make sure I'm using my wifi for data and not my cellular connection???
I've been turning my cellular to 'off' when at home, just in case, but I don't want to have the faff of turning it off and on, so it would be nice to know how the iPad chooses between wifi and 3G when both data access points are active.
Also I've had no wifi troubles at home at all. so far... The acid test will be setting it up at work as they have proxyies for everything, but obviously I don't have proxies at home. I'm not sure if the settings screen can cope with different proxies dependent upon different wifi networks... * grin *

In the status bar I have
a signal strength indicator then 'O2-UK' then the 'fan' No mention of 3G.
I'm guessing you're going to say that when 3G is showing then 3G is being used for data?

Why do I have to choose my cable provider to watch a show

Some of the apps on AppleTV require that you have a service provider account (cable or satellite, for example) to legally access the content. This is a contractual arrangement, not a technical issue.

Why do we have Single Hop between Ipsec Peers?

Why do we have Single Hop between Ipsec Peers?
What is the concept behind this?
Physically the data is transmitted through various routers or hop reaching the destination peer
But while tracing we can see only 1 hop
Why it so?

Thanks !! Jon
I got it!
Other Question :
Still the packets leaving VPN1 after IPsec encapsulation will pass through R1->R2-->R3
here.
So basically if we use tunnel - virtually the data is transmitting with single hop but IPsec Packets will go Physically to all routers-with fragmentation and Reassembly due to MTU of the medium along the path,
But trace doesn't show this - as it is encapsulated inside the IPsec Packet
Am i right?

Let applications choose between WiFi and Ethernet

Hi Forum,
So basicly I'm connected to a secure ethernet line with limitations, besides that I'm also connected to wifi with no limitations.
I want to let apps choose between wifi and ethernet, is there any way to do so ?

(A repost of something I posted elsewhere - trying to help others)
If it helps you at least a little, in the Podcast App, playlists are now called "My Stations". You can add entire podcasts to Stations (and create new Stations), or you can add individual episodes to the "on-The-Go" station.
Not intuitive, and not as good as having the podcasts back with the music, but it gets the job done till Apple listens to the users again and changes this back.
Cheers!

HT201485 why do I have to enter my Apple ID and Password several times each time I launch iTunes

Why do I have to enter my Apple ID and password several times to enable automatic downloads each time I launch iTunes? I get no password errors.
I've also notice that some secure websites, e.g., banks, tell me each time I log on to them that they don't recognize my computer. I don't know if that's related.
I use two different wifi networks each day, one work, one home
I am using OS X 10.10.1 on a macbook pro retina, mid 2012
2.6 ghz core i7 8GB,
iTunes 12.0.1.26

That seems strange. Try an iPad reset and see if this fixes the problem,
Reset your iPad by pressing the 'Sleep' and 'Home' button at the same time for about 15 seconds or so. Your iPad will then go through a reset / reboot procedure and will be ready for use within about a minute.
Don't worry about doing this as you will not lose data or settings.
Good luck and do report back.

Why didn't apple make iphone with wifi calling?

It is beyond me that Blackberry and the Android phones have wifi calling and the new iphone 5 does not. Why? That should be standard in all phones.

Just left a message there. Thanks. I live and travel and work in poor coverage areas and have a mifi to cover me doing charge sales. Sad that Apple won't let me talk in these areas too.

Why do I have 2 versions 15.0.0 and 15.0.1 of FireFox in my control Panel Window Vista x86?

I noticed that I have 2 different versions of Firefox 15.0.0 and 15.0.1 in my Control Panel in Window Vista. Before I do anything, I need to know why do I have 2 Firefox in my system and how did it happened. Is it safe for me to uninstall the old versions? If so, how? I am a beginner, not expert on computer.
Thank you,
Sue

Just to let you know when I reinstalled the program no information was lost. all of my settings are the same including the home page.

Why do we have separate apps for phone, messages, and contacts?

I'm trying to reduce the number of apps that I need to run, and this one just boggles my mind.
Why do we have separate apps for phone, messages, and contacts?
The messages is to tightly coupled to the phone, that it doesn't make any sense for them to be separate.
The contacts app is nothing more then looking at the contacts from the phone app.
What's the story here?
Does it have something to do with the contacts also being part of email app?
Actually, that's my other biff... why are they entangled as such?
Phone contacts should have phone#, email contacts should have email addresses.
If you want a contact to have both phone# and email address, then the two apps (phone/email) should be combined.

The contacts app is nothing more then looking at the contacts from the phone app.
What's the story here?"
The forums would be full of people complaining that you had to go through an additional step ( opening the phone app) to get to contacts. I use the contacts app from the home screen far more often then I use it in relation to calling someone.
I like the way it is far more than the way you propose.

You do use Siri. Hold the home button until Siri responds and say "Define bottle". Same thing, no?
Hope that helps
