Not for me this time but need to find out

Mate was in a WiFi enabled area, no security code needed but couldn't connect to the internet or use any apps that require WiFi

She said quote "A message came up about cookies"

But she's only got a PAYG sim in there at the moment but didn't think that made any difference as as home she has managed to connect to the net with the WiFi there

Help! It's my challenge for the day to find out

I dont know but you have an ipod touch could you both try the same spot too see if it is just a new fangled locking thing.

A wifi enabled area meaning a public hot spot?

The public wifi connections (i.e. offered by the government, or by some business such as McDonalds) often leave HTML cookies using their governing system for various reasons. I don't know if you can enable HTML cookies on an iPhone or not though, but if there was an error about cookies chances are they are turned OFF and need to be turned ON.

If the connection was public then it will probably require that you connect to the network first before it lets you use the wifi on the device (that's why she couldn't use the apps).

How can you enable cookies?

Thanks

Only on the new software, one would imagine that to be pre 3Gs

New challenge today

Need to get the bluetooth to pair up to the car (Audi S3)

iPhone bluetooth is switched to on - can't find devices? Previous phone just found the incar stuff - does it need anything special?

Thanks
