Has anyone tried the suggestion from the macfixit site

see my earlier post, "painfully slow connection".
Has anyone tried installing the combo 10.4.5 update from the mac support site.
my imac came with 10.4.4 so I assume autoupdate just installed the latest delta, but perhaps there is a problem with the installer and an incorrect library version was linked with the library. Just surmizing , but that could cause a problem.
Anyway reinstalling the update won't hurt anything I don't think anyway.

I tried it and it didn't do anything noticable. At first I downloaded the PPC version by mistake and it wouldn't accept it. A little more digging turned up the intel version. But again no change.
What I found that is working for me is setting up my router to work in "b" wireless mode instead of "g" or "b/g". It has solved the problem for now and since the speed to the router still exceeds that of my ADSL line I have noticed nothing but fast and consistent internet access.

    Yes. Reinstall iTunes. If that is the point at which you stopped trying the support suggestions then it makes sense to me, that you move on to the next suggestion and if reinstalling iTunes is the next suggestion, so be it.
    However ....  I too have issues that arise out of the blue with my iPad being recognized in iTunes and what I always do and it eventually works is to quit iTunes, restart my MacBook, and reboot my iPad.
    Rebooting the iPad is the last thing that I do and only if I have no success with quitting iTunes and restarting the Mac. It may take a few tries to work, but if you are that dead set against reinstalling iTunes, then give it a try.

  • I cannot get my home sharing to work with my new PC. I have tried all suggestions from the manuels. Can anyone help?

    i cannot get my homesharing to work with my new PC. Any ideas besides the ones in the manuel

    Yes, I do think it is no longer using PPPoE.. but the IP is configured to the fibre to ethenet or vdsl port.
    You might need to ring the ISP and get them to give you details.
    Anyway it is easy to try.. plug the Extreme WAN port to the new modem and test with dhpc. Check that you get a public not private IP address.

  • Has anyone else lost Netflix from the Internet menu?

    I have done restarts, reboots, signed in and out and in of AirPlay, homeshare, etc... I have been on the Netflix site, no problems there.
    Has it just dropped from the menu for anybody else? I can't find any outage information on the web.

    We installed an update today and the only menu options we are left with are Internet (NO NETFLIX HERE), Computers and Settings. When you go to the Internet menu, it won't allow us to do anything except YouTube. I can't click on any of the drop downs.
    The unit is about 2 weeks old and has worked flawlessly until now. I am very disappointed in this. When you pay this much for a GEN 2 Apple product, you expect it to work, every time. I have other Apple products and don't have bugs.
    What is the answer to fix the menu??

  • HT203425 Has anyone have problems updating from the App Store today

    Is there a problem with the App Store today

    Yes and Apple acknowledges the issue. The App Store shows you have updates, but when going to update page it is blank. You need to go to the purchased page and scroll through all you apps and look for those that say "update" then update it. A hassle to be sure. The apple folks informed me that it is an iTunes issue and will be resolved soon. This issue has been going on for a week or so (July 25), so "soon" means......?

  • Has anyone tried to update using the direct download file of 4.2.1?

    My internet connection isn't the fastest at home so I downloaded the update file at my office using the following link :
    http://appldnld.apple.com/iPad/061-9857.20101122.VGthy/iPad1,14.2.1_8C148Restore.ipsw
    Any tips on how to proceed with doing the update using this file? I know you have to Option-Click the Update or Restore button, and then browse to the update file, but I was wondering if there is anything else I should do first.

    Thanks to both of you - I was running 4.2 on my iPad, and the download link at daw.apple.com for the 4.2.1 GM was taken down after it shipped - so I was bummed...
    Found your post with the direct download link - boom! Happy camper...

  • Has anyone gone to Europe from US and used the IPAD charger with only a plug adadpter and had no problems?

    Has anyone gone to Europe from the US and used the IPAD charger with only a plug adapter?  I want to be sure I won't burn up my IPAD.

    Just using an adapter will be fine.  The charger can handle to 220V just as well as the 110V

  • Has anyone tried disabling DART?

    Has anyone tried disabling DART in the boot-args on an XSERVE running Tiger with 2GB RAM? Are there any effects on the PCI cards, except the obvious?

  • Has anyone upgraded to lp9 from lp7.2..

    Has anyone tried to upgrade from lp 7.2 to lp 9 yet?....did u need the dongle in to do the upgrade or the xskey serial number?...im plannin on getting a new macbook pro laptop and i have lp7.2...i dont want to reinstall lp 7.2 then install lp9..how would i do this upgrade?....i have heard of using the seial number on the xskey to putting in the dongle b4 u install which is correct?..remember this is a first time install on a new macbook pro laptop.

    Install LP9. The installer will first ask you for your LP9 serial, then it will ask you to insert your XSkey to authenticate your LP7 licence.
    That's it, no install of LP7 is necessary.

  • Cannot unzip any of the files from the download section

    Hello,
    has anyone tried unzipping files from this section?
    http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/forms/downloads/index.html
    I am on Windows 7 and I also have 7zip and none of them can open the files, message says - invalid zip file.
    I am mainly interested in this file: ofm_frmrpts_win_11.1.2.1.0_32_disk1_1of1.zip
    Any clues?
    Regards,
    Ryszard

    I already did twice, I think Firefox is terminating the download without any message. When I use IE it said your download has been terminated after downloading 700M out of 1.79G. I have absolutely no limits, the only thing I can suspect is the Oracle session is timing me out. I managed to re-establish the connection and resume the download, which I can't seem to be able to do with Firefox.

  • Has anyone tried one of these $40 eBay batteries...

    ...found this on eBay. Price sounds good but we all know what that usually means:
    http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220396594649
    Has anyone tried one?
    -Alan

    While the ad says "new in box", that box may well have been sitting on a shelf for more then 5 years. And if so, it's worthless. LiOH batterys begin to decay from internal self-oxidation the minute they are assembled. Even just sitting idle on a shelf, under perfect environmental conditions, they will only last for 4-7 years, after which, their capacity to hold a charge is pretty much shot.

  • Has anyone tried home sharing between mac and windows using parallels on the same machine?

    I recently purchased a mac, and plan to set up parallels for windows and windows 7 so that I can use the Windows version of Over Drive Media Console from the library and download WMA files in windows (limitation with mac version for wma downloads). I would like to synch to iTunes on the Mac iOS, but will need iTunes available in Windows to transfer the books I download in WMA format from the library to my iphone. Has anyone tried this? Any success or suggestions would be appreciated!

    In case anyone is interested, last night I installed Paralells, Windows, Overdrive Media Console on Windows, and then was able to download my book in WMA format. I was hoping parallels would allow me to crossover sync to iTunes on the Mac and have Overdrive recognize that I had iTunes open, but I had to choose Windows or Mac when connecting my phone through the USB and had to choose Windows in order for it to successfully transfer. I was able to get it to work it is now synced to iTunes in Windows. The nice thing was that it pulled in all my music/apps that I had set up in the Mac side, so I didn't have to go through that exercise again. I tested it on my old phone. Now I need to decide if I want to set up my current phone on Windows or Mac, it seems that once synched it only opens the device in windows, I haven't figured out how to force the choice between mac or window again. If I do windows, I can't take advantage of the cloud or iphoto/imovie directly. I'm totally new to mac, but I think I'll have to import my photos manually.

    If you do not lock that folder immediately after deleting all the contents, it will simply populate again (Resume - a "feature" in Lion). You do that by doing a Get Info (highlight folder and press Command + I keys), unlock the lock at the bottom, enter your admin password, then check the box to lock the folder. lock the lock and you're done.
    Yes, that is correct. The alternative is to quit all applications prior to logging out. Lion will then have a chance to remove the saved states.

    And, for the OP:
    It has also been a regular feature of Mac OS to automatically open any window that was open at shutdown. To avoit that behavior, simply close any Finder windows and  properly quit applications by closing their window and using Command + Q (or File >Quit).
    This was true only for the Finder. Prior to Lion, no other apps would launch unless they were included in the Login Items for the account. And the OS would not restore windows for other apps.
    A very small number of apps (TextWrangler is an example) implemented this capability prior to Lion. They could restore previously opened windows. But that is an application feature, and can be controlled by the application's preferences. Lion implements it at the system level, and users have virtually no control on a per application basis.
