Wifi arrows

My wifi symbol in he status bar constantly has flashing arrows, one on the right hand side and one on the left hand side. I would expect this if the phone was constantly downloading email or social network feeds but when I try to load those I get the message "Could not open connection to server" when attempting to access e-mails as well as this message when attempting to load news feed on Facebook "Error loading news feed"
Any ideas?
Cheers

Connected to wifi network but safari can't find any web pages

my wifi connection is shown as connected but when i go to safari it says i am not connected to the internet. itunes, you tube, maps, etc. don't work either. does anyone have any ideas? i've seen suggestions on here but none seem to work for me

emertone,
Have you tried using a static IP configuration on your iPad instead of DHCP?
Settings->General->Network->wifi-> (arrow beside the current active wifi connection)? If you see an IP address like 169.x.x.x you are having a problem with getting a DHCP lease.
First make sure that MAC address filters are not enabled on your router. If they are, disable them and see if DHCP then works. It should give you a 192.168.x.x IP address. You may need to reboot the iPad or the connection to trigger DHCP.
If it doesn't work, and you still see a 169.x.x.x IP address, select "Static" instead of "DHCP"
- set IP to for example 192.168.0.155 (last part can be 0-255 but choose somewhere in the middle to avoid collision with DHCP assigned addresses)
- subnet 255.255.255.0
- router 192.168.0.1
- dns 192.168.0.1
Depending on your router you may need to use 192.168.1 instead of 192.168.0 in the above addresses, but try 0 first

I have set up my airprint wifi printer which works perfectly with the HP eprint app. However, when i view an email and click on the top right arrow button and select "PRINT" on my ipad nothing happens????...

I have set up my airprint wifi printer which works perfectly with the HP eprint app. However, when i view an email and click on the top right arrow button and select "PRINT" on my ipad nothing happens????...
Also, when im viewing websites and i find something i wish to print, same again, if i simply click on the print option at the top right of the screen nothing happens... the only way I can print is if i copy the weblink of the site page then click on my HP eprint app and paste the web link, then select print, it prints off fine.. but its it such a pain to keep copying and pasting links or screen dumping emails just to print...

Just to recap, this is a collection of ports I have collected over time for people who needed this information when setting up the HP ePrint app so that they could view their email from within the app. I am certain other applications also need this information. Although lengthy, I could not find a more comprehensive place to retrieve this information. Feel free to post additional information, faulty information, or other related topics below as this is simply a collection of data and it would be practically impossible to test all of them. Thank you!
Don't forgot to say thanks by giving "Kudos" if I helped solve your problem.

My wifi network connection is not working, will read "unable to join". Am able to access as a guest. When I hit the blue arrow on the right hand side of my network there is no information e.g ip address, subnet mask, etc. This info is in my guest area.

My network has not been working today. When I click on it it says "unable to access nhe network". My guest network will work. When I hit the blue arrow on the right hand side of my network there is no information in the IP address, subnet mask, router, etc. There is information in my guest section when I checked. I have unplugged and replugged my router and turned my Wifi button of and off, started and restarted my Ipod as per internet suggestions. Would anyone know how to get my network reactivated. I am nervous to hit reset network settings in case I lose all my music and icons, etc. added since I got my Ipod. Thank you for any assistance

Do other devices now connect?
Did the iPod connect before?
What encryption/security is the router using?
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on the router
- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

Also, confirm your security software and settings are allowing communication between your device and update servers. If you still see the error message when you update or restore, contact Apple support.

Can there be a hardware issue on the iPad that causes you to unable to join wifi networks or only if you are within 5 feet of routers?

I used to be able to connect my iPad to my house wifi network walking all over my house then one day it stopped. When i tried to connect to my network I would get an message saying "Unable to Join network". I found that if i was within 5 feet of my router it would connect and work just fine. At the same time I tried it at multiple other networks that I have before (girlfriends and other friends houses) and could not connect with same issue. Only place I can connect is my work wifi.

My wife and I share the same iTunes account. How can I setup a separate account for her iPhone using my iMac?

My wife and I share the same iTunes account. How do I setup a separate account for her? Can I do it using my iMac?
Thanks

Using More than One iDevice on the Same Computer
This applies mainly to couples who are adding another device and do not want their email, messages, etc. being duplicated on both devices. To begin read: How to use multiple iPhone, iPad, or iPod devices with one computer. You need to establish a separate Apple ID and password for whomever will use the new iDevice. See Apple - My Apple ID and Frequently asked questions about Apple ID. The easiest way is to do this on the computer using iTunes: iTunes- How to set up an Apple ID within iTunes.
On the computer create a new user account for the person with the new iDevice. This will be the user account that person will always use. He/She will no longer use the other user account. This way that person will have a separate iTunes Library
Start by transferring the new device(s) to a new account along with all your data. Save any photo stream photos that you want to keep to your camera roll (unless they are already in the camera roll) by opening your Photos app, tap on Albums icon at the bottom. Now, tap on My Photo Stream album; tap Select; tap on the photos you want to select;, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow) in the lower left corner; then tap Save to Camera Roll.
If you are syncing notes with iCloud that you want to keep then you need to open each of your notes and email them to yourself. Later you can copy and paste the text into new notes created in your new account.
Tap on Settings > iCloud > Delete Account (only deletes it from this device, not from iCloud; the person keeping the current account will not be affected,) provide the password to turn off Find My Phone and choose Keep on My iDevice when prompted. Sign in with a different Apple ID to create your new account. Choose Merge to upload your data.
Once you are on separate accounts, you can each go to icloud.com and delete the other person's data from your account.
Note: The essence of the above was created by user, randers4. I
have made substantial changes to improve readability and syntax.

WiFi Tether Your Android Tablet to Your Cell Phone - LG Marquee Boost Mobile Example

Greetings Earthlings and Android Fans....
Just posted this to my blog and wanted to share a text version here. Check it out if you're looking to tether your tablet to your cell phone. I tethered my Thrive to my Boost Mobile LG Marquee.
From: Kaio's Klassroom: WiFi Tether Your Android Tablet to Your Cell Phone - LG Marquee Infrastruct...
Want to tether your tablet to your cell phone, but Ad-Hoc got you down? How about trying this nifty little tweak that got me up in running in a jiffy!!
I recently got a new LG Marquee Prepaid Phone with Boost Mobile @Amazon and I really love it. Only problem is, I was spoiled with my last phone because it was rooted to support Infrastructure tethering and I had no idea how difficult and unusual that was. I've since done some research with my new Boost Mobile LG Marquee, and after a little trial and error (and some lucky Google searches) I have successfully tethered my LG Marquee to my Toshiba Thrive tablet!!!
Here's what I did:
Mandatory Disclaimer - The following information is for informational purposes only. Proceed at your own risk!!! Rooting will void your warranty and could "brick" your phone if you do something wrong!! So if you damage your phone, or any of your tech, that's on you.
NOTE: If you don't have an LG Marquee, just search "your phone model" + "root" and you should find plenty of information specific to your phone. There's always people wanting to do the same thing you are, so it's just a matter of finding the information that's already out there. Once your phone is rooted, come back here and start on Step 2.
Step 1 -- Root your LG Marquee (You do NOT need to root your Tablet)
The following information was taken from LG Cell Phones Blog and are for the LG Esteem, which is a generic root mod.
> Enable USB Debugging on your LG Marquee: Go to Settings > Applications > Development > Enable Debugging and check the box.
> Download and install the LG USB drivers at: LG Cell Phones Blog You want the file "LGUnitedMobileDriver_S4981MAN32AP22_ML_WHQL_Ver_3. 2.1_2.exe"
> After installing the USB drivers connect your phone to a PC. On the phone, pull down the notification bar at the top of the phone's screen and click on USB Connected. Set the phone to Internet Connection mode (CHARGE ONLY not Mass Storage).
> Download "LG_Esteem_Root.zip" at: LG Cell Phones Blog. Unzip the file and double-click on the run.bat file.
Note: Kaspersky Internet Security will flag this file as a Trojan: "Exploit.Linux.Lotoor.ag" I don't believe this file is a Trojan, per se. I believe it's required during the root process. When I let Kaspersky eliminate the file, my phone wouldn't root. So I decided to run the root program on a secondary computer, just in case. I disabled Kaspersky temporarily on that computer, and ran the root zip and my phone rooted without a hitch. I later scanned my phone with Webroot Security and AVG, and neither found any viruses on my phone, so I believe the process is safe. Technically, rooting your phone probably does involve a Trojan hack, hence why Kaspersky flags that file. However, I must reiterate to proceed at your own risk.
Just in Case -- How to Unroot Sprint LG Marquee:
Use root explorer and delete superuser.apk from the /system/app folder. Go to the Android market and download and install super user. Use root explorer again and delete su from /system/bin. Go to the market and uninstall super user. Do a factory reset & you will be back to square one.
Step 2 -- Verify that you have properly rooted your phone with this nifty free app: Root Checker Basic
If you did everything right, you should get a message that says "Congratulations, this device has root access." If you fail to get that message, go back to Step 1.
Step 3 -- Download the Android WiFi Tether for root users app
Currently, the only version of Android WiFi Tether that worked for me was 3.1-beta7. The newest version doesn't work properly with tablets, so be sure to get 3.1-beta7. Here's a link and QR code for easy access: WiFi Tether 3.1-beta7 apk
Step 4 -- Configure WiFi Tether app:
I've tried many settings, but these are the only ones that have worked. Start the app and grant Super User Permissions. Then Click Menu to get into the app's setting. Inside the Settings, do the following:
> Change Device Profile to: Samsung Galaxy S
> Change Setup Method to: Netd (Master)
> Enable WiFi Encryption: Check box to Enable
> Change Pass Phrase to: any 13 digit password of your choice.
> Change SSID to: any name of your choice.
> Change Channel to: 4 (2427mhz)
> Disable Update Check: Check box to Disable.
> Click your phone's Back Arrow to Exit back to the app's Main Screen
> Touch the WiFi button onscreen to start tethering.
> Grant Super User Permissions
Note: If you get Error Code 67, Click Dismiss. If you update, I don't know what will happen; my guess is it will disable the ability to tether. But if I click Dismiss, my tethering is Enabled, and works perfectly.
Step 5 -- Grab Your Tablet & Start Tethering
> Go to Settings > Wireless & Networks > Check the box to Enable WiFi > Click WiFi Settings > Under WiFi Networks, find the SSID for your tethering app that you entered in Step 4 above. > Click on the SSID of your tethering app > Enter the 13 digit Pass Phrase you created in Step 4 above and Click Connect.
That's it! Congratulations -- your tablet should now be tethered to your cell phone!
Now that you're tethered to your cell phone, be smart, and DON'T download a ton of gigabytes. Just be smart about it, and you should be fine. Remember, tethering to your cell phone probably goes against the terms of service with your cell phone carrier, so DON'T abuse the privilege.
Now that you're the envy of all your friends, why not test your data speeds: SpeedTest App - FreeMy data speed test results with my Toshiba Thrive tablet tethered to my LG Marquee:
Download: 855kbps Upload: 302kbps
That's pretty great for a 3g no-contract cell phone with unlimited data.
Happy tethering everyone!
Go forth and Androidify!
Hugs, Kaio

Wifi not working at Mcdonalds uk

Hi I have updated to the latest firmware 2.1 for the i pod touch and iam having problems getting the wifi to work at Mcdonalds. It worked perfectly before the update but now when i log on it finds the cloud network ok but when i try a web page it says it is not conected to the internet. It works fine at home with my router and it works ok on the airport bus which has wifi(belive it or not a bus with wifi) i have tried several Mcdonalds and no joy any ideas thanks....can anybody else in the uk have problems at mcdonalds

The settings and router for the two locations are going to be different. Look at Settings>WiFi and the name of the router (in blue to the right of the screen) will be different. Enter the WiFi panel by tapping on that section, and the network(s) will be listed. The MacDonalds one should have a tick next to it. To the right is a blue arrow and if you tap that and enter the settings panel the HTTP Proxy settings are near the bottom -- these can be entered for the individual router (e.g. McDonalds) but entering them will have no effect on the home settings.

WIFI not working on iphone 4 after ios 7 upgrade

I just upgrded my iphone 4 to ios 7.
I am trying to set up my wifi with it and it's not working.
How can I set up my wifi within ios 7 so it works on my iphone 4?
It just keep sayiing "Unable to join network"
Thanks in advance.
I phone 4
ios 7

Well it asks for you to rotate the red ball around the circle, which I do and then the compass displays but there is no direction or bearing provided, just some co-ordinates in the bottom RH cnr. If I move it about or press the compass it does nothing !
Also at the top there is a red arrow on a narrow white marker which if I press down on seems to give a white blob and then disappears. not clear what that is for either
I have tried resetting the phone and not having true north marked, makes no difference to when I first tried it.
