How to connect an iPhone to the Internet

Connecting your iPhone to the internet is an easy process. You just simply use any application on your iPhone which uses internet service.

Your iPhone can either use WiFi or Cellular for internet access.

- A WiFi network is simply a wireless network. You can find them at coffee shops, libraries or even at your house if you a router setup for wireless access.

- Cellular data networks allow Internet connectivity over the cellular network. Check your carrier's network coverage in your area for availability.

When you use an application on your iPhone that requires internet service it will either connect to the last WiFi network used, or if that network is not available it will list all available networks in range. You can simply tap on the network you wish to join and it will connect. If the network requires a password it will show a lock icon. If no Wifi networks are available your iPhone will connect over the cellular data network and fees may apply.


To see all the Wi-Fi networks in range, from the Home screen choose Settings > Wi-Fi. Tap a network to join it.

sometimes while downloading a video it stops halfway and never continues...please help me

Downloading videos from the internet is always, a tiring thing.There are chances for the video to stop in between, or the video may not respond, or the download could even ask you to restart the system and begin once again.So the whole process of saving or downloading a video from Facebook could be \something which is daring to do.Because you need to have a lot of patience and also you need to spare time for it.Instead of simply wasting time I would advise you to just use the Facebook Video Downloader, and after installing the application, you will come to know the real difference, between the normal download and the download using the application.It is very very fast and very easy to use, as well.

how we connect internet to iphone

The iPhone can connect to the internet through both Wi-Fi and EDGE. Wi-Fi would be the wireless network at your home or business. When the iPhone connects to the internet through EDGE, it is actually connecting through the AT&T phone connection (or any other service provider the iPhone works with in the future).
safari.jpgTo the connect to the internet, you simply need to open up Safari (which is the internet browser used by the iPhone). If you're used to using a pc, think of Safari as the 'Internet Explorer' that the iPhone uses. You can use Safari the same way you could use Internet Explorer.
Once you open up Safari, the iPhone will attempt to connect to the internet. If there are wireless networks available wherever you happen to be, the iPhone will prompt you to choose one to connect to. If you're trying to connect to a network that has security, you will be prompted to enter the password for the network.
If you want to check to see whether there is a wireless network available where you live, work, or play, go to 'Settings' and then 'Wi-Fi'. The iPhone will show you all of the wireless networks that are available.
If there aren't any wireless networks to connect to, iPhone will connect to the internet over EDGE. Connection speeds over EDGE will likely be somewhat slower than they would be over a Wi-Fi network. You will also not be able to answer phone calls while connected to the internet through EDGE. If the iPhone is connected to the internet over EDGE you will see this small icon at the top of your screen: edge-icon.jpg

Hi - am having problem connecting my acer aspire one laptop to internet thro wireless connection to iphone - have downloaded iphone modem application on laptop and phone but it never gets past 'creating wifi network' any suggestions on how to fix please!! thanks Michaela, NAmibia

Hi,

It would be best to use a cable between the acer and the iphone, or bluetooth might be a better option.

The cable will be the best way, if you want wireless go bluetooth.

This works around the WIFI network issue your having.

How to Jailbreak And Unlock Your iPhone With BlackSn0w and Blackra1n in Windows Posted by iunlock under Unlock on Monday Mar 1, 2010 google_protectAndRun("ads_core.google_render_ad", google_handleError, google_render_ad); Previously, we’ve released a tutorial to jailbreak and unlock iPhones for Mac Users. Now Windows users can do the same with their iPhone 3G or iPhone 3GS by following this short tutorial. Remember this is specifically suited for those running Windows.
Please ensure first that you have the iPhone OS 3.1.2 installed as well as a 05.11.07 baseband. If you have the 5.12.01 baseband or higher though, unfortunately you cannot jailbreak yet. Meanwhile if your baseband is lower than the prescribed 05.11.07, you must first restore to the 3.1.2 firmware in order to proceed. Do this by starting up iTunes, selecting your iPhone from the device list, then holding down the option key and selecting restore. After this minor change, you can now push through with the tutorial.
Keep in mind, blackra1n only supports a tethered jailbreak. This simply means once you have successfully jailbroken your device, do NOT ever let your battery die. Anticipate it and charge immediately once you notice it signalling it’s on low. When you allow your device to die, you would still need to reconnect it to the computer and specifically use blackra1n simply to reboot it.
If you have answered yes to the requirements above, then you’re good to go. But a word of caution to all: hacking your iPhone could void it of its warranty for good. So please proceed at your own risk. It is necessary to for safety and security purposes to backup your iPhone before beginning with the process. Once you’re done, we’re ready to begin.
Easy Guide to Jailbreak:
  1. Visit the blackra1n website, http://www.blackra1n.com, using any web browser of your choice. Then select the Windows logo located at the bottom of the screen.
  2. When a prompt appears, download and save blackra1n.exe to your device. Then double click the executable file from where you saved it to launch the program.
  3. From here on, your iPhone or Ipod needs to be connected to the PC.
  4. You are now officially ready to start the jailbreak process. Proceed by selecting the “Make it ra1n” button.
  5. After this, you would notice that your iPhone is now in recovery mode. Instead of the recovery mode screen, the display features a picture of Geohot. Then you’re iPhone would reboot.
Jailbreaking has now been completed. You will notice a popup message informing you that blackra1n is free software and you can donate to Geohot at [email protected] if you appreciate the software. Select ok to finish the process.
At this point, you’d see the blackra1n icon on the springboard of your iPhone. You can proceed further to unlock your device thereafter following these simple steps:
  1. Ensure you have an internet connection first. Then launch the application by selecting the blackra1n icon.
  2. Choose the installer application of your choice then select snow if you wish to unlock your device. Press install located at the top right of the screen if you want to proceed.
  3. Blackra1n will now begin to download and install the packages you selected.
  4. When completed, you would see a post install log for sn0w. CommCenter would automatically be restarted. But if your carrier does not support 3G, simply disable it. Then select the close button to continue.
  5. Blackra1n would now respring your iPhone. Now you can find the installer package right at your springboard.
  6. Once the package is confirmed to be working properly, you can now choose to uninstall blackra1n by selecting the “uninstall blackra1n” button inside the application. By doing this, you are opting to remove blackra1n from your springboard.
Congratulations! You have successfully jailbreak and unlocked your iPhone easily by yourself.
