Wifi with our service

How can I use the wifi on my phone with out a cell service plan

If it is not activated in iTunes, you will need to activate if first.  iTunes activation has nothing to do with cellular service, it is just to set up the device for sync'ing content to it from iTunes.  For that you need a SIM in it, but any SIM card will do.  Then, activate it in iTunes and just use it.  You do not even need the SIM in there other than for the actual activation itself.  You can also enable airplane mode and then just turn on the wifi radio by itself to make the most of the battery too.

  • Is there a facility to more easily sync music my four Apple devices and my wife's three Apple devices without the horrid iTunes error messages when there is nothing wrong with our connection?

    We’ve been using iTunes Match pretty much since the beginning, but recently my wife has turned it off and refused to re-subscribe. I’m fast getting to the same place. It just seems so unstable, wishing Apple would invest some of their billions into it. I read with dismay how many people find Google Play to be so much better. As I write this I see a “Cannot connect to iTunes store” on my iPhone. Noting wrong with our connection … it’s alive and well.
    Bearing in mind that I have two Macs, an iPhone and an iPad and my wife has a Mac, iPhone and iPad what we really want is the following.
    I want all our music to go up to one location (iCloud or even better our own server). I want an app or web app that I see on the right hand side a list of artists or albums (or playlists) and columns for each device. I want to be able to tick the “matrix” to specify which devices the artist/album/playlist should be downloaded to. When the device is switched on, it must download (no fuss no bother and no stupid I-can’t-do-anything-about error message). A nice enhancement would be to specify three options for each entity (Download, Stream, Not Available). There must be options to easily bulk select.
    So … is there such a thing out there?
    In my immediate family plus spouses and kids girlfriends/boyfriends there are 11 Macs, three iPads and 10 iPhones. My brothers are very similar. I have nieces and nephews that use Apple. My parents also use Apple. Collectively, we have a bunch of Apple equipment.
    Did I mention I'd like it to be stable?

    Unless you have EE 4G service the UK 3G networks are the base of your problem - they are just far to variable in download and streaming speeds.
    Add to the fact that use can/will eat into your Data usage !
    ITunes Match as a service is pretty experimental at best over 3G and really i think so long as you have a 32GB or larger iOS device sync'ing via iTunes on a PC/Mac remains the best way to transfer music.
    Remember even with iTune Match your music is STILL ON your own PC/Mac HDD !
    Usng the devices tab in iTunes you can customize each differing identified iOS device and load as you please.
    When we have a competitively priced stable and extensive LTE network in the UK then reconsider Match at that point.

  • I was told by comcast that we had a computer in the house with a malware virus, they even said that they were going to terminate our service if we did not get it fixed. Now this week we hear that there is a trojan malware virus, how do we get rid of it?

    Hello,
    Flashback - Detect and remove the uprising Mac OS X Trojan...
    http://www.mac-and-i.net/2012/04/flashback-detect-and-remove-uprising.html
    In order to avoid detection, the installer will first look for the presence of some antivirus tools and other utilities that might be present on a power user's system, which according to F-Secure include the following:
    /Library/Little Snitch
    /Developer/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/MacOS/Xcode
    /Applications/VirusBarrier X6.app
    /Applications/iAntiVirus/iAntiVirus.app
    /Applications/avast!.app
    /Applications/ClamXav.app
    /Applications/HTTPScoop.app
    /Applications/Packet Peeper.app
    If these tools are found, then the malware deletes itself in an attempt to prevent detection by those who have the means and capability to do so. Many malware programs use this behavior, as was seen in others such as the Tsunami malware bot.

  • Why does the itunes wifi show it is connected to my PC for all the devices we have when my husband has his own Apple ID, since we updated to Icloud with our own ID's

    since upgrading to Icloud, all the devices in our house show in Itunes Wifi they are all linked to my PC, although we have set them up with our own individual accounts, my husband is unable to sync his Iphone, Ipod & ipad to the music in his itunes, as it wants to connect to mine any one any ideas

    You can continue to use the current AppleID for iTunes, but your husband can create a new AppleID to use to create a new iCloud account that will be his own and not overlap with yours.  If you do not have another email address to use for an AppleID, just get a free Gmail account and use that.
    You can have as many AppleIDs as you want (or at least, as many as you have email addresses for).  You can use a separate AppleID for the store, another for iCloud, and even another for iMessage if you wish.
    You will want to keep the current one as the shared one for the store as all your previous purchases are permanently tied to it, and thus you need that AppleID to update or redownload your current purchased content.

  • HT1386 we are using same laptop with my wife for our 2 iphones and when sincronizing, she's getting my apps and is requested for my apple id and password when getting a new app on her device. How can i fix that issue?

    we are using same laptop with my wife for our 2 iphones and when sincronizing, she's getting my apps and is requested for my apple id and password when getting a new app on her device. How can i fix that issue?

    Each phone needs to set its own sync settings on the various tabs in iTunes.  On the Apps tab, for example, uncheck the apps that you don't want on the phone being synced.  This article may also be of interest: http://gigaom.com/apple/itunes-101-multiple-devices-one-itunes-account/.
    You can change the Apple ID used for purchasing on her phone by going to Settings>Store>Apple ID, tap the ID shown, sign out, sign back in using her Apple ID.  However, be aware that if she has any apps on her phone purchased with your Apple ID she will still be prompted to enter the password associated with this ID for all future updates of these apps.  This is because apps are permanently tied to the Apple ID used to purchase them, regardless of the ID in Settings>Store.

    As quicksilver8 says, that's difficult.

  • My daughter is going on an exchange to France for a year.  I saw that there is a SIMS prepaid card that fits into an iPhone 4S.  Do you think this is the best way to go and oDo d I suspend her service with our carrier?

    My daughter is going on an exchange to France for a year.  I saw that there is a SIMS prepaid phone card that fits into an iPhone 4S.  Is this the best way to go and if so,  Do I suspend her service with our carrier?

    Is your daughter's phone officially unlocked? If not, you won't be able to use any sim other than a sim from the carrier your daughter's phone is locked to. To do what you want, you need to get your daughter's phone officially unlocked. Once done, she can then purchase a local sim when she gets to France.

  • Can I use my wireless house WiFi with a Kindle Fire or do I need to buy an internet service for it

    Can I use my house WiFi with a Kindle Fire or do I need to buy a WiFi package like a cell phone has for a Kindle Fire

    wifi allows you to connect to a router.  You still need an internet provider to source your content.

  • Is there any way my wife and I can have our two iPhones sync with our one iPad via the iCloud?

    Currently we are using her apple ID but I'm wondering if we can both sync.

    What do you mean by "sync with our iPad" exactly? A litle more detail ???? What do you want to sync?
    If you use the same ID on all devices you should be able to sync across all devices with iCloud - as long as you are using only one iCloud account on all three devices.

  • Our Mini IPad shows a window box that states we have not backed up our I cloud in 9 weeks. Plug in with internet service.  That screen is froze. When you hit connect it does nothing. I tired to shut down, but power off button is greyed out so not an optio

    Our I-Pad has never connected with our wireless internet from since we got it. Our laptop connects just fine and we have a strong signal.  We now have a locked screen stated that I-cloud has not been backed up in 9 weeks. Plug into internet?  However when you click the button to try to get to the internet it does nothing. The power off button is greyed out so not an option to shut down. Just froze on that screen?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated:)
    Thank you in advance.

    Try this.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • Iphone 5S'.  Can't connect to the WIFI at our gym.

    Both my daughter and I upgraded to the Iphone 5s. We can connect to our home WIFI fine.  However, we cannot connect to the WIFI at our gym.  I can connect at the GYM with my Ipad mini running IOS7 (no cellular service on Ipad)
    Both phones see the gym network and we are asked for th user name.  We enter it and get the "connected to ...." message.  But there is not a WIFI symbol or connection.
    I went into the WIFI settings for the gym network on the phone, and sometimes see an IP address and subnet address bit no router info or DNS.  I tried resetting network connections and "forgetthis network" and tried to reconnect but had no luck.  The same is true for trining "renew  lease"
    I have not had problems connecting to other WIFI networks
    I am out of options.
    Anythoughts?

    I’ve had lots of issues with the Wifi on my 5S. While it works fine at home (all be it a lot slower than my 4S at making initial connections), at work it refused to connect. No amount of “forgetting networks” or “Reset Setting” would make a difference!
    In the end I manually configure the network.
    Settings -> Wifi -> Other
    Manually enter the Wifi networks name (SSID)
    Selected the correct Security  (Most likely WPA or WPA2)
    Enter Password  (Option appear once you select the security type)
    I now appear to have stable access to Wifi at work. Can’t guarantee it will work for you be is worth a try.

  • 2012 cruises on Royal Caribbean Can I  - wifi with a macbook?
