Wi-fi access in Canada

I am Australian and going to Canada. Hoping to take my MacBook and connect to wi-fi services there. Do I need to set anything up on the computer before I go. It has built in AirPort Extreme (802.11n). Can I just go and click safari when there and up pops something to select which wi-fi thingie to connect to?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated - thanks:)

You select the wifi network from the wifi icon in your menubar--the radiating lines.
If the network you're joining requires a password or something, you may have to enter it before you can open any pages in Safari. Public networks often require you to log in or register or agree to their terms of use through a web interface, though.

This has not ever been fixed, would like to know if someone has a solution,or are they just passing the buck to Apple. Thanks.

Hi John,
I was able to access the site using Safari 1.2 and Safari 1.3 with no problems.
When you type in that command in the terminal, make sure to quit Safari first. Then type in that command (terminal won't respond to your request - in this case it's not necessary to anyway). Open Safari again and a debug menu should appear on the far right side of the menubar for Safari.
Resetting Safari will clear cache/history/autofill/cookies and will open a new window once it's completed with your homepage.
On the site, it recommends the following settings for Safari. You might want to give a try. I can access the site just fine here in Maryland.
How to adjust your Safari 1.2 settings?
Enabling Java/JavaScript
Select Safari from the browser Menu bar
Select Preferences on the menu
Select Security
Where it says "Web Content" select the following (Enable plug-ins, Enable Java, Enable JavaScript)
Enabling Cookies
Select Safari from the browser Menu bar
Select Preferences on the menu
Select Security
Where it says Accept Cookies select either Always or Only from sites you navigate to
To see the cookies you have accepted, click Show Cookies. From there, you can remove cookies.

Hope this helps! Good luck!

10.3.9 update and still no epass Canada fix

We Canadian Mac users still can't access our personal accounts at our National Government site - this should've been fixed weeks ago! Dare I say that if it had been ALL US MS users trying to access their personal accounts at the US government this would have been a priority. The way it stands, no Canadian using a Mac can access their National Government epass accounts.
This is all we've been seeing for far too long now:

jawnl, this is what I found on the site:
"Notice to Macintosh Safari users
Access to epass Canada using a Mac Safari browser is temporarily unavailable. The Government of Canada is committed to offering the epass service to Mac Safari users as soon as technically possible. Until then, you can access our services by phone, fax, mail, or in person.

Since the information was modified just a few days ago, have you updated to Mac OS X(10.3.9) and Safari 1.3 to see if there is any difference? But what I don't understand is that the Canada Revenue Agency site says that Mac OS with Safari 1.2 and Java 1.4.2_05 is supported and so does the ePass Canada "Frequently Asked Questions."

HT1311 AppStore icon opens to the Canada store not the USA store. Cant change store

The AppStore icon on my ipad has changed countries. I have a lot of apps that are showing. When I tried to buy a new app a message comes up that says I am trying access the canada store, change to USA store. Havent been able to find out how. I went to settings and nothing there has changed, it still shows USA. Can not figure out how to get tie AppStore icon to open correctly. At this time I can not see my apps purchased or free because the ipad is accessing the Canada store.

Go to Settings/itunes and AppStore/Apple ID, tap on the ID shown and sign out. Restart the iPad and sign in with your Apple ID, this should take you to the correct AppStore the next time you launch the App.

No movies in the cloud

Recently Apple has given access to Canada movies in the cloud as of yesterday I do not have access. Is this a temperary problem?

Do not buy movies thinking it will be in the clouds, it's misleading, your movies can disappear.
Apple is only lying to us with their partner movie industry. I bought lots of movies, to then loose them because they were pulled from the iTunes Store. People if you decide to buy make sure you have a hard drive where you can download, as you can see, there is no movie in the iCloud.

TIGER clean install (PREVIEW problem)

I did a clean install of TIGER - all fine and ok. I then loaded up MS Office for MAC (like I had before on Panther) , then posted some .pdf files (2) to my Public Folder on my iDisk (for my son to access in Canada) - these were originally WORD docs. (in Panther days) with photos in the text and I`d retrieved them from my external HD where I`d backed them up before the `clean install`, like a good boy. I`d saved them as pdf`s to my desktop then dragged them over the PUBLIC icon - they both loaded in due course (albeit very slowly) - I went to check this morning and clicked on one .pdf file expecting it to open in PREVIEW. All I get is the spinning ball and I can`t even force a quit on PREVIEW either. I even tried to access them the same way on my iBook but the same problem occurs.
I`ve repaired Permissions and Verified too but it "still aint a working" - any ideas?
Plain English please as I`m not IT techy.

From Apple:
Currently, the iDisk is online and operational. We have not received large numbers of reports to indicate that there is an issue with connecting and interacting with the remote iDisk in Mac OS X v10.4.3.
We were able to connect to your iDisk Public Folder and upload a 5 MB file to it on a computer running Mac OS X v10.4.3. We were able to delete this file and disconnect as well.
To further test your ability to copy files to the iDisk, please place a file (that you have tried to upload to the iDisk before) in your computer's Shared folder, which is located in /Users/Shared on the main level of your hard disk.
After doing so, please create a new Mac OS X user account and test to see if the error you reported occurs in a new user. Creating a new user in Mac OS X is actually quite an easy process; it will greatly assist in isolating the cause of the issue you reported.
Please completely review the following AppleCare support article for more information about setting up multiple users in Mac OS X:
Adding a new user account to your computer:
<http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.4/en/mh168.html>
Once you have created a new user, log out of your current user and then log in to your new test user account. Enter your .Mac user information in the .Mac System Preferences of the new user and then try to upload a file to your remote iDisk.
After testing in the new user, feel free to log back into your normal user.
Please respond to this email and let us know if the issue occurred in the new user. Also, provide the following information:
1. What is the approximate size of the file you tried to upload?
2. A step-by-step list describing your actions prior to experiencing this issue.
3. What is the exact version of the operating system that is installed on your computer?
4. Please describe your Internet setup, how you connect, and whether you are using any network connectivity devices, such as a router, hub, or wireless base station.

Thats all fine, but it doesn't answer my question. Copying files to the iDisk will CRASH the finder in 10.4.3, forcing me to sometimes having to do a hard reboot when logging out is not possible. I realize the iDisk is a very slow transer process and for this reson it probably won't work for what I need to do, BUT if I do decide to pay 99 bucks to upgrade my trial subscription iwould like to know that apple is working on a fix for this known issue. People who have multiple macs on a network who are running panther on all the computers have no iDisk problems with crashing the finder....put put an Tiger computer on the network and the tiger computer will crash. So is Apple working on a fix to this problem?

Dear Tim,
Thank you for contacting Apple.
Copying files to your iDisk is actually a two-step process. In the first step, the Finder prepares a local cached copy of the file to be sent. In the second step, that file is actually transmitted across the internet to your iDisk. The first step is performed as quickly as your hard drive can copy the file, and accounts for the bulk of the work that the Finder believes it has to do to upload your file. This is why the progress dialog reaches the "5 seconds remaining" mark so quickly - the Finder considers its work nearly finished.
At this point, your upload may appear to stall, especially when sending a large file. However, you're really in step two of the process, and your file is actively being transmitted to your iDisk. In most cases, simply leave the progress dialog alone, and your f

I can't open "radio-canada"'s application, there is the following notice: error 403 forbidden.

The current version of the Radio Canada App is 3.3 and it requires iOS 4.3 or later. (Oct 26, 2012)
Since you cannot update to this version on your iPod 2 you must be on an earlier version. It is possible that the latest App uses a different interface to access Radio Canada and that the interface used by earlier version of the App has been discontinnued (suggested by the 403 error you get).
You can contact the App developer to see if this is the case and if there is any remedy. http://www.limedevelopers.com

Airport Extreme is allowing access to screen sharing, file sharing from external IP addresses (some from China, Canada etc)

How to get control over the ports/port forwarding etc in Airport Extreme?
How to make AE drop packets to certain ports from external ports. Or create whitelist/blacklists?
I figured out where the MAC filtering is! (It is inside the Timed Access Control). I wish it had a list of connected device and allowed me to select, name and add them.
I am getting requests from Chinese IP to the screen sharing ports forwarded to my iMac. Had requests to other ports as well. There was one IP address from CANADA too.
I want to open file sharing for local use only.

Why is Airport Extreme forwarding requests for screen sharing from external ip addresses to my imac? I don't have a public address, nor use dynamic dns service, and I have removed the server app (at least I think I have, but Apple Store doesn't think so).

HP Mini 100-1010CA Canada -- access blue keys on keyboard??

New HP Mini purchased in Canada. Ordinary keyboard config except it has several special characters denoted in blue. Nowhere in manuals does it explain how to access these. Suspect language/keyboard settings may not be correct. Any suggestions? thx.

Thanks for the Ctrl-Shift-Shift. That combination switches between keyboard settings that are active for the netbook. On the Canadian Multilingual Standard some of those blue keys work, but some of them don't. So I'm still thinking my keyboard settings are not correct. Is someone able to confirm what keyboard settings you have where this is working for you?
You can access this information via Control Panel -- Regional and Language Options -- Languages tab -- Details button. From there you will see a list including the default language when the computer starts up, as well as any additional languages set up.
many thanks.

- Power off and then back your wifi router

I cannot access my old iCloud account from Ireland on my new iPad in Canada

I had an iPhone 4 in Ireland a number of years ago with an iCloud account. The kids have been using that phone for games since we moved to Canada. I now have an iPad and I am trying to access my music from iTunes from the iPad but I am unable. There appears to be password issues that I cannot resolve possibly to do with different credit cards and now living in a new country.
I Have tried resetting the iPad and accessing through the iCloud account and even though I have amended credit cards details it appears to revert back to the previous card and password which I cannot remember. Help please

What are you trying to look up on your mobile me account? You should be syncing mobile me e mails, contacts, ect. You have to set them up.

I've received an email of an unauthorised access which states it was done in Canada, is there any way I can request Apple to inform me what the IP address that made unauthorised access was?

I've received an email of an unauthorised access which states it was done in Canada, is there any way I can request Apple to inform me what the IP address that made unauthorised access was?
I want to know as it possibly relates to other security issues I've had of late and it would help further my investigation. Would a subject access request possibly allow me to recieve this information? As far as I know there's no way to see a list of when and where I sign in using my Apple ID?

Sorry but no, Apple cannot give you that information. The only way they could give anyone such an IP address would be if they received a court order to do so, if even then; I don't know what sort of tracking and logs they do.
However, if this email claimed that someone had tried to reset your password and in any way gave you a link to click to confirm your account information, the email was almost certainly a phish. Such phishing messages have been quite common over the last two or three weeks and should be deleted without responding. You may wish to manually type in the URL for Apple's page for managing an Apple ID and change your password, just as a precaution, and make sure you've set good security questions using responses that can't just be looked up for you (they don't have to be real information; you can use any response you wish as long as you can remember what you entered).

You can get Mifi devices (the iPad connects to it via wifi and they then give access to 3G networks). I've never used one and I don't know if they are available in Canada (and if so how much they would cost). If you have an iPhone then you could also use that as a mobile hotspot

RBC (Canada) Banking App denied my access

I have been using RBC (Canada) online banking app on my iPad for sometime and it had been working very good and I liked it. Apparently I have to upgrade the version of RBC app and so I did. Now my access was denied because my iPad had old OS. However, a pop-up message said there was a compatible version of app which works with older OS. I could not find it and contacted RBC support line but they did not know.
Does anyone know where it is and how to download? Thanks

Help what?
You cannot use other countries itunes stores.
