Why doesn't my NB505 access the internet when I bring it to a WiFi location?

I have a NB505.
I have brought it to a Dunkin Donuts and to several Starbucks so as to get WiFi
The notebook just does not work as far as accessing the internet at a WiFi location.
Do I have to set it up somehow?
Does a NB505 have no capacity to access the internet through WiFI?
Help please

Since posting that question I have found out how to use the notebook in a WiFi place.
Thanks.
However also since that posting, my laptop has seemingly konked out.

Why doesn't iPhone connect to the internet when connected a computer?

Why doesn't iPhone connect to the internet when plugged into a computer that has ethernet internet connection?

Also, computers don't work that way either to share a connection like that. Just because you plug a device into a computer doesn't mean it can use it's internet connection that way.
Windows Mobile devices have been able to use their host USB cable to connect to the internet, since at least the year 2000. (And vice versa, more recently.)
It was actually a minor surprise at first that Apple didn't support it.

HT1695 Why can't I connect to the Internet when I not at home

Why can't I connect to the Internet when I'm not home

If you do not have an iPad with 3G cellular service, you can only connect to the internet when you have access to Wifi. Wifi is not available everywhere, but there are places that do offer free Wifi service, such as Starbucks, Panera Bread, the Airport, etc. When you are at a location which offers free Wifi access, you have to join their network, which is usuall nothing more than touching a connect option that should automatically pop up, when you open Safari on your ipad.

IPAD 2 WiFi only. Can I access the Internet when I plug into my computer that is connected to a LAN?

I just purchased an IPAD2 and I love it. It's WIFI only, and I want to access the Internet when I plug in to my computer since I don't have 3G capability. But when I try and connect it won't allow. Is this standard? Am I preventing from high speed internet access on my IPAD 2 even when my computer is connected to the Internet? Any help would be much appreciated

You cannot access the internet through the connection to a computer hooked up to the internet.
It may be possible to configure your PC as a WiFi access point. Check your PC documentation for its capabilities.
Or, purchase a WiFi router and hook it up to your ISP modem. You can hardwire your PC to the modem.
Good WiFi routers can be purchased for $30-$40 dollars if you shop around.

Kristy,
Is your iPod configured to sync audiobooks? To check, plug your iPod in and when it appears in iTunes locate it's audibooks tab and make sure it is set to them.

Why does My I-pad drop the internet when I open several sites.

My I-pad drops the internet when I open several sites. Why?

If you are saying that Safari crashes when you open several Tabs then:
Most likely the problem is bugs in Safari which are crashing the App.
You can try Settings > Safari > Clear History and Settings > Safari > Clear Cookies and Data.
That might help but report these crashes and the sites that cause them to Apple at:

HT4623 update to ios 6.1.1 failed verification because you are no longer connected to the internet, when I am connected to my Wifi. Do I need to adjust some settings?

Update to IOS 6.1.1 failed verification because you are no longer connected to the Internet when using home Wifi and verifing connectivity by using Safari to surf net and viewing wifi setting. Do setting need to be adjusted?

This is what worked for me: Double tap your home button to bring up the programs running in the back ground, press and hold so they show the red close option and close all programs. After that shut your iphone down and power back on. Immediately go to General>Software Update and it should work. Good Luck

Why can my macbook only access the internet from certain wireless sources?

I have tried connecting to the internet at my friends houses with my macbook but even though I can join the network, the internet itself doesn't work. Is there a reason for this? I've even tried to connect to the internet through a wireless network that my friend was accessing with no problem, from his macbook.

Possible reasons for being unable to connect to a strange network:
- Wrong proxy information
- Wrong network password
- Your friends router has "MAC address filtering" turned on.
You might find you can connect by creating a new location like this:
System Preferences > Network
Select the AirPort from the left hand side
Click on the Locations combo box and select Edit Locations...
Click on + to add a new location, give it a memorable name
Select the AirPort tab and enter your network name
Select TCP/IP tab.
Configure IPv4 Using DHCP
Now click on Renew DHCP Lease. After a few seconds you should get an IP address (probably 192.168.x.x)
Click on Proxies tab.
Select Auto Proxy Discovery and Use Passive FTP
Click on OK and Apply, etc.

Accessing the Internet when there is no public network available

I currently have access to a public AirPort network but will be moving to an area where there is no public network. Do I need more software to create my own network ID? I read in the documentation with the AirPort Extreme disk that I may be able to use the AirPort with some ISP's. Is there a comprehensive list of ISP's who support AirPort? Thanks.

What I'm looking for is more specifc information: do I need more software (base station?
Your Mac is already set as far as software to support wireless Internet access. As a minimum, you will need either an wireless Internet gateway or an Internet modem & wireless router. Most Internet Service Providers (ISPs) offer these with their service.
and how do I determine if an ISP will accommodate my wireless needs (i.e. what question do I ask them before signing up)
Depending on where you live, ISPs can offer a number of Internet access services: ADSL/DSL, Cable, Satellite, or Wide-Area Wireless (usually found in rural areas). Performance, and cost, will vary and is usually quite competitive, especially in high traffic areas in major cities.
The first thing is to establish your requirements:
- What will you be using the Internet for? Basic needs like web surfing and/or email, or more advanced needs like running a business commerce site (like Amazon for example)? This will define your data rate requirements.
- Cost: How much are you willing to spend monthly for Internet access? This will set a boundary on what services will be available (cost-wise) to you.
- Local Area Network (LAN) requirements: Will you only be connecting a single computer to the Internet (or one computer at) or will you need to have multiple computers connected at the same time? Do you want both wired and wireless access? Do you plan on using the Internet for "Massive Online Gaming?" If you will have a multiple computer access need, does the ISP provide (or support) a NAT/DHCP-enabled router (which allows you to "share" the single IP address, provided by the ISP, amongst those computers) or will they require you to pay extra for multiple computer access?
The second thing is to determine the available ISPs for your area. The following website could go a long way in helping you answer that question.

Photoshop Elements 9 automatically accesses the internet when started

How do I stop Photoshop Elements 9 from automatically accessing my internet connection when I load it? Thanks.

If you have the internet on then elements always connects for activation purposes.
Are you getting some kind of dialog?
Also you can make a shortcut to the pse9 editor or the pse9 organizer
to bypass the welcome screen.

Why won't firefox connect to the internet when IE will?

Mozilla stopped working about a week ago without my knowledge of any updates or anything like that. Internet Explorer still works fine and will connect but when I try to use Firefox it tells me 'unable to connect.' I have already removed Firefox and re-installed but that has not corrected the problem. I also spent some time looking through the settings of Firefox and things seem in order. Do you have any suggestions? I'm not sure why this happened but I can't take IE much longer (yeah your product is that good!). I am currently running windows 7.
Thanks,
Jonathan

There is a troubleshooting article with suggestions. Don't know whether you've tried these yet: [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Firefox%20cannot%20load%20websites%20but%20other%20programs%20can Firefox cannot load websites but other programs can | Troubleshooting | Firefox Help].

HT1430 How do I turn off the data when I am not in a WiFi location? I noticed that I am using data when the phone is "on" and I am not in a WiFi situation, but not on the internet. So, how do I turn off the data?

How can I turn off the LTE data when I am someplace where there is not WiFi and I do not want my LTE running up a bill? I have tracked my usage and realize that the LTE is being used even when I am not using it, just because the phone is turned on.

Merely being on should not use any data. You must have something running - something using push notifications, or push email, prhaps?
So, you can either track down what is using the data and change it, or you could go in and disaple cellular data in your settings.
One other thing to check is
Settings -> General -> About -> Diagnostic and Usage data -> set it to "Don't Send"
Settings -> Restrictions -> Location Services -> System Services -> turn all these "OFF" (this will not affect how you use your phone at all, but will stop any outgoing location information being sent periodically back to Apple).

Cannot Access the internet on my Mac

I have a MacPro, running 10.5.1 (although when this problem began it was probably a newer version the OS if there was one). I moved offices about 2 months ago-- same facility, same network. After one day in the new digs, my internet and network access (wired) stopped working. That has lead down a long path including hours on the phone with Applecare, one visit from a certified mac repairman, several archive and installs, hundreds of dollars of tech time by the company network engineers, and a month and a half of lost productivity.
*Internet Access:*
A wireless router has been installed, and my airport connection is set to the 192. schema. The Airport status window shows that I'm connected to the right network and full strength, however I still can't access the internet when I'm booted Mac OS. I've tried both Safari and Firefox. I can access the internet only when booted in Windows XP.
*Office Network Access:*
At this point, via manual configuration in Network Preferences, I have sketchy access to the office shares in both Operating Systems through a wired connection. When I'm in Leopard though, I have no access to the internet and no access to the printers on the network. In Windows XP, I have access to everything, even though XP is using the same hardware to do it. There seems to be something in my Mac OS blocking IPs. This conclusion was reached due to the fact that the office share I can access are recognized by name, but internet and printers are recognized by IP, hence, I can't use them.
Network Diagnostics says my "internet connection appears to be working correctly" with all green lights on the left side, but whenever I try to browse the internet, it says the same thing but the "ISP," "Internet," and "Server" items under Network Status all say Failed with the red lights.
The Office Network Engineer, anyone I talk to at Applecare, and I are all baffled. I'm the only Mac in the company, and I'm a luxury as a designer here. No one else is having these problems, and I'm now a month and a half behind. Things aren't looking good.
Can anyone out there help me...please?
*Other important details:*
-Office Server is Windows Server 2003 R2
-Every test that the Network Engineer has run on the server (Windows Server) has come up clean.
-I can't ping any IP's from my Mac Pro
-Traceroute yeilded the same results as everything above
-I can only access shares by the names assigned to them
-The network DNS could not Ping my Mac

"I have an ethernet cable in port 1 on my computer. That is configured manually to access ther office network."
Do you have a "real" IP address or a private (192.168.x.x, 10.x.x.x, 172.x.x.x) IP address?
"The wireless router was connected to the company server only for the purpose of getting me online through Airport because I couldn't access it using an ethernet connection"
Could not access it because their network security blocked you by intent, or had some unknown technical difficulty?
Unless you are blocked by intent or ommission (if they have to explicitly allow your machine) I can think of no technical reason why your wired connection should not both get you on their network and on the internet in general. You should not need to be dual homed (though dual homing should work as well).
Please answer the questions above when you can - I think solving the wired LAN issue will be easier if you are not being intentionally blocked.
