• Which mobile devices are supported by ResNet (for students) and the Helpdesk (for faculty and staff)?
  • ResNet (for students) and the Helpdesk (for faculty and staff) provide assistance with personally-owned and College-owned devices running Apple's iOS or iPadOS operating system. This includes iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch devices.

    As for specific models that we are able to support, the devices must be running (or able to run) either the current version of Apple's iOS or the previous version. Current support includes devices running iOS/iPadOS 15 and iOS/iPadOS 16.


  • I have a mobile device running a supported version of Apple's iOS/iPadOS - what issues can you assist me with?
  • ResNet (for students) and the Helpdesk (for faculty and staff) can provide assistance with the following issues on your Apple iOS/iPadOS device:

    • Setting up your device to check your Saint Mary's e-mail - instructions are available here.
    • Connecting to the BelleNet wireless network
    • Connecting and using your device to projectors in the classrooms on campus. Individuals are responsible for providing their own VGA or HDMI adapters between the device and the projector. Information Technology does not provide these adapters.
    • Support for Apple-provided apps will be provided on a limited basis. Apps that would be supported include Mail, Calendar, Contacts, and Settings.
    • Support for Google-provided apps will be provided on a limited basis. Apps that would be supported include Gmail and Google Drive (the apps must be configured for your Saint Mary's account to be supported). Support for these apps will require a Saint Mary's Google Workspace for Education account.

  • What is not supported for mobile devices running a supported version of Apple's iOS/iPadOS?
  • Assistance is not available for the following:

    • Cellular connections
    • Printing (other than via Mobility Print for students)
    • All third-party apps, unless specified in the section above (Apple and Google-provided apps)
    • Devices running unsupported versions of iOS/iPadOS - older versions may not be compatible with current software and systems
    • All hardware-related issues

    All of the support issues that cannot be accommodated by ResNet and the Helpdesk will be referred to the Apple Store. There is an Apple Store near campus at University Park Mall. Visit here for the Apple Store's hours, directions, and to make a reservation online for Genius Bar assistance.


  • What else should I know about assistance for mobile devices running a supported version of Apple's iOS/iPadOS?
    • It is recommended that AppleCare be purchased for iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch devices. AppleCare is recommended regardless of whether the devices are personally-owned or College-owned. For more information about this extended warranty program from Apple, visit here.
    • Information Technology, the ResNet Office, and the Helpdesk do not have mobile device accessories of any kind available for distribution. This includes cables and any type of adapters (for charging, projecting, and connecting to other devices). Individuals are responsible for obtaining and using their own accessories.

  • I have a mobile device that is not running iOS/iPadOS - it is running another operating system (Android, Windows). What issues can you assist me with?
  • ResNet (for students) and the Helpdesk (for faculty and staff) are unable to provide assistance with non-iOS/iPadOS devices due to the significant variations in operating systems, devices, and providers available. We apologize for any inconvenience that this may cause.

    Documentation for connecting iOS, Android, Windows Phone, and Blackberry devices to Saint Mary's Google Workspace for Education accounts is available here.

    Documentation that includes guidance for connecting Android devices to BelleNet is available at here.

    Support issues for mobile devices not running iOS/iPadOS (including Android, Windows) will be directed to your cellular provider, device manufacturer, or place of device purchase.
