Wireless Network rather than phone carrier

Hi. I have organised my iphone to accept my wireless internet, however when I download Apps or view You Tube etc it reverts to my internet provider Telstra. How do I make the wireless take precedence over the phone carrier?

Hello Cocky2,
Welcome to the Discussions Boards.
The iPhone software is configured to select WiFi before the cellular data network.
If your iPhone switches to the cellular network when you try to access data, it is most likely because the iPhone is not actually connected to the WiFi network.
Once you join your WiFi network, go to Settings > WiFi and tap on the blue arrow to the right of your network. If the IP Address is not present or begins with 169.254, then your WiFi router has not provided a working IP Address to the iPhone.
See the following thread for some tips on getting your WiFi network to allow the iPhone to join it successfully:

Hope that helps,

SCCM Windows Updates - Issue - Sent to whole network rather than just group

Hi, i have successfully configured a small amount of Office Updates following this link:

Using WRE to send a wireless signal rather than expand a signal

Hi all, I'm hoping you might be able to help me out on this. I have a Linksys router and a WRE. The router does not have wireless, but i was curious if it's possible to trunk the router to the WRE, and have it send out a wireless signal, rather than pick up on and expand an existing signal. If so, what would i have to do to achieve this.
Thanks!

If the router does not have Wireless then you cannot use your Range Expander...In other word's, what you want to establish is not possible with the Range Expander...
However, this is possible with a Wireless Access Point(WAP54G)...You can connect an Access Point(WAP54G) to your router to send a Wireless Signal...

Hi I've recenty purchased a new imac time capsule airport express. I've set up a new network, rather than extended the current one. How do I change my new network to an extended one or create an extended network?

Can I only bridge my network, rather than extending it?

I have an airport extreme, which I'm trying to use as a bridge for the wired devices in my entertainment system for HD streaming. It mostly works, but has problems with multiple devices are active on the network. The other end of the connection is a current model Time Capsule. The Extreme is a previous generation (the flat style).
What I really want is only a bridge, but the option in the Airport utility is to "Extend a wireless network". So, clients connect to the airport in the living room rather than the access point farther away.
Can this be controlled?

Unfortunately, if you try to configure the AirPort Extreme to operate only as a bridge (Join a wireless network)...and not an extender....the Ethernet ports are not enabled on the device in that type of configuration, so it is virtually useless in that regard.
Try to minimize the obstructions in the wireless signal path between the Time Capsule and AirPort Extreme as much as possible. Ideally, you want line-of-sight between the devices.
Ironically, a less expensive AirPort Express can be configured to "join" a wireless network....and....the Ethernet port is enabled when you do this.
The only way to try to control what device that computers connect to is temporarily turn off the WiFi on a Mac or iOS device, move it near the wireless access point and turn the WiFi back on to see if the device will pick up a signal from the closest and strongest access point.
Actually, a Mac laptop will usually automatically switch access points as it moves from one area to another and pick up the best signal from the closest access point, but iOS devices like the iPhone and iPad will not usually do this, since they have much simpler operating systems.

HT4262 Airport Extreme "Snow" to "Extend Network" (rather than WDS)

Can I use "extend" rather than "WDS" to increase wireless coverage on the "Snow Dome" Wireless G version of airport Extreme?
I see this option for the new airport Extreme base stations that have 802.11 N.
I DON'T see this option for the new airport Extreme base stations that have 802.11 N.
I want to extend my ATT U-Verse wireless network.
I want to extend my friend's wireless network (Non-ATT / unknown smaller provider)

Can I use "extend" rather than "WDS" to increase wireless coverage on the "Snow Dome" Wireless G version of airport Extreme?
No, the "extend" feature was introduced in 802.11"n" routers. You have an older 802.11 "b/g" device which is not compatible with the "extend" feature.
I want to extend my ATT U-Verse wireless network.
ATT U-Verse routers are not compatible with Apple products if you are trying to "extend" using wireless only.
I see this option for the new airport Extreme base stations that have 802.11 N.
Correct
I DON'T see this option for the new airport Extreme base stations that have 802.11 N.
I'm guessing that you meant to say.........Extreme base stations that are 802.11"b/g" only....and not N as you mentioned. As mentioned above, this older version of the Apple router does not have a setting to "Extend a wireless network"
I want to extend my friend's wireless network (Non-ATT / unknown smaller provider)
Apple's "extend" feature will only work with other Apple 802.11n routers, if you are trying to "extend" using wireless only.

IMessage sent from email address rather than phone number...

I'm having similar problems with my iMessage update under iOS 5. When I send text messages to other iPhone users, it appears as iMessage and from my email address rather than my phone number. I went into Settings > Messages > Receive At, but there's no option to add my phone number. It keeps showing my Apple Account, which I registered under for iMessage and iCloud with my email address. It only allows me to add another email address. From what I can tell, non-iPhone users are still receiving my text messages from my number like regular. If I turn iMessage OFF, I'm sending regular text messages to all users. Anyone have a fix yet? I'm wondering if this was an Apple goof that won't be resolved until the next iPhone update.

What I am curious about is, how do I know if what I'm sending is coming from my number as a text message or as an iMessage with my Apple ID. I'm really asking this specifically because, I have friends overseas who I have been texting..now we have iMessenger.. but how do I know it's not being sent as a text instead (therefore costing me money)? Just because it's being sent using their email?
I've used a Blackberry before, and they have their texting & BBM as two seperate applications with two seperate icons...kinda hoping Apple had done the same here :/
Any help would be great thanks

TS1398 this didn't help me at all. out of the clear clue my iPad can't even scan for wireless networks. even when I type in my home wireless network name. my phone can connect to it but for whatever reason my iPad won't. nothing I've tried works. I'm ****

believe me I've tried EVERTHING and my iPad still 'can't scan for wireless networks'. it happened all of a sudden and is really really frustrating. I really don't want to have to drive 40 minutes to the nearest 'genius bar'. I'm about ready to break this thing over my knee. I've even tried the frig trick. it worked for about 30 seconds. and then? nothing. any non sarcastic suggestions?

You can not install it.
Only apps from the official Apple App Store can be installed.

Computers log onto neighbours network rather than my own

I am running an Extreme network with 2 Express stations attached for routing music. My Mac mini and my iBook (4 users) log's onto my neighbours network each time I log in resulting having to manually change to my own network.
My network is WEP protected and the password is stored in each of my users keychains. However, each time I log in it reverts back to my neighbous system.
This is a recent occurence since adding an express station and my new mac mini to the network.
Does anybody have any ideas for avoiding this frustrating issue?

Hi Yossie:
Welcome to Apple Discussions:
Navigate to: System Preferences>Network>Airport>By default join: Preferred Network, then select the network you want your mac to log-into. You can also remove the networks you don't want your mac to log into)
I hope this helps!

How do I get customer service using email rather than phone in Thailand

I have not received an order acknowledgement from my ipad 2 purchase made over the internet (Thailand) on May 6. The money has been taken from checking account already. On the "We keep you informed" support page it says I should have received the email in 24 hours. It's been 3 business days. Are other people experiencing the same?

Thanks for your reply. Yes, I agree that when a new phone is purchased, the contract date is renewed as well. However, I had just purchased new phones and one was defective- not my fault. After their failed attempts to get this phone to work, I finally received a working phone, as described in my post. It seems unconscionabl;e to me that they would do something like this. So-I'm on a "Family Plan" with 2 different contract dates? Doesn't make sense. Also, how can they institute a new contract without my ok?
Appreciate the feedback.
1st of all, by activating the "new" phone, you are agreeing to the ToS and "giving your ok".
Next, when you renewed 2 yrs ago, you signed a contract in which you had 30 days to return the phone in exchange for a "new" one. After this 30 day period, you "agreed" to refurbished replacements by signing the original contract and activating your original phone, thus agreeing to the ToS. YOU were not willing to adhere to the contract and ToS which you had previously agreed to, but you now want Verizon to follow those terms that you have already backed out on?

IMessage suddenly sending messages from email address rather than phone number

Recipients of my iMessages have reported that it has switched from being from my name/number to being from my email account. I have not changed any settings and the iphone 5 is up to date with all updates and has been restarted several times. I also went into iMessage settings and send&receive settings and tried a few things (including turning iMessage on and off, signing in and out of my account, etc), to no avail. Why is it suddenly doing this and how can it be corrected?

Hey Elfinator,
There are a few steps you can try to resolve this. First, turn iMessage off completely in Settings>Messages, and restart your device by fully powering it down, then power it back up. Once complete, turn iMessaging back on and see what happens. Again turn iMessage off, restart device, and turn iMessage back on. You'd be surprised what that can fix.
Also, if you have both your phone number AND the apple ID selected in send/receive in settings>messages, and you aren't connected to data at that moment, the iMessage from whoever is messaging you will be sent to the Apple ID only, hence why the conversation will begin using the email. This is something that is pretty common, and if you don't have a data plan, or if you turn your data off often, this will continue to happen.
Hopefully my first step will refresh the issue, resolving it!
Have a good day!

Printers supporting Radius wireless networks

Do any printers exist that support Radius wirless networking and Mac OS X 10.8??

Simply reconfigure your Airport Express to either use for airtunes only or to extend the range of the existing network. This effectively connects the Airport Express to your main wireless router as a basic access node rather than a separate router creating its own network.
If you consult the User Guide that came with your Airport Express you'll find additional information on how to setup an Express to simply extend a local wireless network rather than function independently.

Connecting eMac to Existing Wireless Network

Hi. I recently was given an eMac to set up in our son's room and I would like to connect it to our existing wireless network rather than string ethernet through the walls. I purchased an Airport Extreme card and connected it. However, the eMac doesn't seem to recognize our wireless network no matter what I do. I am not 100% sure that the card is even working properly, although I think I found it listed under "Network Utility". Here are all of the specifics:
eMac: eMac G4/1.42 (2005) 1.42 GHz PowerPC 7447a (G4)
OS: Tiger
Airport Extreme wireless card (purchased aftermarket): I believe that it appears under "Network Utility" as "Network Interface (en1)". It has been assigned a hardware and IP address. However, it shows a link status of "Inactive" and a link speed of "0 Mb".
Wireless router: Linksys WRT54G that has successfully connected to several other PC and iOS devices (e.g. iPhones and iPads)
Thanks much for any troubleshooting ideas that you might be able to share. I've been all over the Internet (on another workstation, of course!) looking for the answer and haven't found anything exactly on-point for my configuration.

First thing to do, you must activate the card in System Preferences.

File transfer using wireless network

Hi all
Is it possible to add my 5800 to my home network as a device so I can share files etc. The phone connects automatically for internet access but that's not what I want to do.
Hope this makes sense.

Hi arkwright617 - yes what you say does make sense, and unfortunately I can't give you a clear yes or no answer as you'd have to try a couple of things to see whether it will work.
Just a bit of background so you know where I'm coming from - Some Nokia phones (like the N95) support a technology called UPnP which allows the filesharing you mention to take place relatively easily and painlessly - unfortunately the 5800 doesn't support this technology.
I've had a look at the technical specification of your phone, and it mentions that you have WiFi, but 3G only and I'm not sure exactly what that means - but if it means for example that you can surf the internet (from your phone) connecting via your wireless router rather than your mobile network provider then this is good and we can progress - otherwise it'll definitely be a no go (although you can still transfer files via cable if required you won't be able to do it wirelessly)
If you can surf the internet from your phone, then you will have to run a piece of software on your PC called a Web server - what you can then do is point your web browser on your phone to your PC and you can then download any files you require to your phone.
There are a couple of VERY VERY VERY important provisos you need to be aware of before doing this :
1) Although you will be able to download files from your PC, if you misconfigure your web server then everyone else on the internet could potentially do so too - be very very very careful before going down this road.
2) Even just installing web server software onto your PC could open it up to attacks from the internet - so be very very very careful.
Regards,
Edward
