After I connect my iPhone (3GS 5.0.1) to any Ad-hoc wireless Network then walk away out of the reach of my wifi network, my iPhone can't find any wifi Network afterwards, only by turning off the iPhone completely and turning on again.
switching off wifi and on again or going into airplane mode did't help!
This problem happens only with ad-hoc wifi networks not with normal ones.
(Ad-Hoc network was created on XP Computer)

Welcome to Apple Discussions
Sorry, but the 169.x.x.x IP address is internally generated by the iPod (and iPhone) and indicates that a network has been detected but no IP address has been issued. Your friends iPhone was not connected to your ad hoc network either - it connected to the internet through the 3G network.
You should read through the Vista help screens on ad hoc networking for some insight how this works. You should be able to get some ideas there.
In the mean time, $40 or less will buy you a very capable wireless router with four Ethernet ports and will simplify your network tremendously. Having used Windows ICS for a long time, the addition of a router and a real network simplified things so much.

  • I'm trying to place an order for 3 iPhoto Albums, but the system won't take the billing address. I'm in Costa Rica and will send the albums to an address in Miami. Can't find any support live chat for billing issues.

    You need to use a credit card with a billing address in the same country as the delivery address.  Since there's no Apple Print Store for Costa Rica I assume you're using the United States print store.  Therefore you'll need a credit card with a billing address in the US.

  • How do you delete audiobooks downloaded from Overdrive from the library from my Ipod Nano when I can't find any of the titles under Music in iTunes?

    I've been uploading audiobooks from Overdrive and now that I'm done listening to them I want to delete them. After I hook my Ipod 7th gen up to the comp, it pulls up iTunes and I go to Music but I can't find any of the book titles there. They all show up in my songs group on my iPod. I've been manually managing the songs so I don't get all my husbands stuff on there. I've cruised through the other sections and tried searching the library without any luck. Any advice???

    Follow the instructions here:

  • How can I use the ni-6024-e with the real time of matlab/simulink. Where can I find any example?

    I am doing the final project and I need to control the ni-6024-e with the RTW (real time) of matlab/simulink.
    Does anyone know or have any example?.
    Thanks

    Rafelmor,
    Have you contacted The MathWorks yet? They probably have the best information.
    However, I did a quick search and found some information on The MathWorks' site. For Data Acquisition Toolbox examples: http://www.mathworks.com/access/helpdesk/help/toolbox/daq/daq_example_index.shtml.
    For RTW information: http://www.mathworks.com/support/product/RT/.
    Good luck with your application.

  • Airport turns off - must shut down and turn back on

    Hi. I am wondering if anybody else is having a similar problem with their late 2008 MacBook aluminum. In the last few weeks I have found that Airport on the MacBook will not turn on. This usually happens when I start the computer. Airport does not start up. I can click the Turn Airport On from the drop down menu as much as I want, and the command is ignored. I must shutdown the MacBook and restart it. That usually fixes the problem.
    My router is an Airport Extreme which I purchased in April of 2007.
    Anyone else experiencing this problem?

    One of the Apple software updates has apparently fixed this problem.

  • ITunes can't find any of my music

    I've been using iTunes for a long time now. I keep all my music on an external (portable) drive with the exception of podcasts or downloaded music from the store. All of a sudden iTunes can't find any of my music. Everytime I click on a song to play that is stored on that drive I get the "!" mark and a box that says itunes couldn't find the song, do I want to search for it. I really don't want to have to do that to all 3k songs. My drive is fine, the songs are there. Could my library file have been currupted? This every happen to anyone else?

    Do what Katrina says and that will most likely fix it.
    Usually, when this happens, it's because a new device has been added via USB, like even a thumb drive.
    When windows boots up, it assigns drive letters to the external devices. If it does it out of order from what it used to do, that effectively changes the location of your music files.
    So if you've added anything to your computer via a different USB port, try taking that out. Of course you'd have to reboot after that.
    But the permanent solution is what Katrina says, but you might need more detailed instructions on how to achieve what she says.
    Look at the XML file to see what the drive is supposed to be. Open My Computer and match it with what your external harddrive is. If they don't match, there's your answer.
    Once you fix that, your exclamation marks will disappear; you don't have to re-import or anything silly like that.

    Does the iOS device connect to other networks? If yes that tend to indicate a problem with your network.
    Does the iOS device see the network?
    Any error messages?
    Do other devices now connect?
    Did the iOS device connect before?
    Try the following to rule out a software problem:                
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on your router
    .- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    - iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    - Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network      
    - iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    - Restore from backup. See:
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • My mac mini loses connection with my receiver after turning off the receiver then back on

    My Mac Mini loses connection with my Onkyo receiver NR-609 after turning off the receiver then back on.  The only way to reistablish the connection is to unplug then replug the HDMI cable to the Mac Mini.  There's no effect if I unplug then replug the HDMI to the receiver.  Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.  I've searched a lot but haven't found much of anything so if this is covered elsewhere I would greatly appreciate a link.
    Thanks in advance

    Hi and thanks.  I don't know about the audio prefs.  When it happens I am not able to see or hear anything from the computer until I un/re-plug the HDMI to the Mini.  I'm not sure it's changing to something else because there's nothing else connected for it to change to.  I could see that perhaps the audio will change to the Mac Mini's internal speaker. 
    I found out last night that if, after I lose the signal,  I use my ipad to play a video on the Mac Mini using the Remote app and home sharing the signal gets righted and I can see/hear the computer again.  It's quite an inconvenient fix though and I wish and hope someone here can help me.

    What OS X version are you using?
    Can you take a screenshot of the pop-up notification?
    To take a screenshot hold ⌘ Shift 4 to create a selection crosshair. Click and hold while you drag the crosshair over the area you wish to capture and then release the mouse button. You will hear a "camera shutter" sound. This will deposit a screenshot on your Desktop.
    If you can't find it on your Desktop look in your Documents or Downloads folder.
    If you want to attach a screenshot to a response here, click the "camera" icon above the text field:
    This will display a dialog box which enables you to choose the screenshot file (remember it's on your Desktop) and click the Insert Image button.
    ⌘ Shift 4 and then pressing the space bar captures the window the cursor is on.
    ⌘ Shift 3 captures the entire screen.

    My iPad2 3G won't connect to 3G.  It used to (bought Nov 2011) but hasn't for a couple weeks.  The AT&T account is current.  I've tried turning off the wifi but it still won't connect to 3G. Any ideas?

    Have you tried using it in a different location; say in the town center.
    Also try a Reset.

    From your iCloud account, you can go to Find My Phone and remove the iPhone from your devices list which will release it, or you could do a remote erase of the iPhone from iCloud.

  • IPhone 5 will not be recognized by iTunes or charge while on but when turned off the iPhone will charge just fine but still won't sync with iTunes what should I do?

    Was charging my iphone 5 for about an hour or so after charging unplugged and went to playing games phone was at 5% so I grabbed my cable and plugged it into the wall nothing happened tried three different chords and blocks and sockets afterwards I plugged my phone into the computer and it wouldn't charge or sync with iTunes it acted as if it wasn't even plugged in so I shut the phone off and though I'd give It a break and try again later. As I got ready to go to bed I though I'd try to plug it back in and see if anything happened nothing did so I just left it I went to mess with it this morning and come to find out it was at 100% I continued to mess with it and i came to the conclusion that it only charges when turned off. I can't get the phone to reset and would love to restore with iTunes if it would sync with iTunes I don't know what I need to do but really need my problem resolved since its a hassle to have to turn off my iphone in order to get it to charge

    Is that a new iPhone? Bring it in to Apple for a replacement.
    But do this first:
    hold the Home Button and the Power Button at the same time, keep holding, ignore everything on the screen, keep holding until you see the white Apple logo appear, then let go and let it start up.
    It should charge both when on and off, unless you connect throug a hub and there are current eaters also on the hub: connect directly to the usb port.

  • IPhone can't find any wifi networks

    I have an original iPhone. It originally ran on wifi networks and Edge, but for a while it has only worked on Edge. When I look under settings - Wi-Fi it says "Not Connected" and lists no networks. My MacBook is connected wirelessly via an AirPort and the wireless info on it lists at least 5 active networks in the area. I have tried toggling between Airplane Mode and not, turning off everything (including cable modem and AirPort) and then resetting network settings, resetting all settings, and erasing all content and settings. I have also tried "Other" under Wi-Fi Networks, but it can't find my home network.
    Is there just something wrong with the device?

    I have the same problem you did. Was your phone still under warranty or covered under Apple Care? My phone isn't under warranty anymore, so I'm just hoping that I'm not out of luck.
