  • My hotspot won't connect my computer to the internet since I upgraded my phone to ios7. The PC sees the hotspot but won't connect. The op sys on the PC is windows 7 ultimate. Can anyone help?

    My hotspot won't connect my PC to the internet since I upgraded the op sys on the 4s iphone. The PC sees that hotspot but won't connect. The op sys on the PC is windows 7 ultimate. Can anyone tell me what to do please?

    Glad to hear it is all straightened out. You are right about the upgrade cost. That is one reason why Adobe switched to monthly licensing—no more upgrade cost <g, r, & d>. Of course we do have nearly monthly product upgrades. It is almost like playing whack a mole.

  • Bonjour sees my printer but won't let me connect to it.

    We've got a canon mp460 hooked up via USB to our mac mini which runs 10.5. I installed bonjour on my new laptop, which runs vista. The printer wizard SEES the printer, but when I try to connect to it I get a message that says "You do not have sufficient access to your computer to connect to the selected printer"
    I've turned off all the firewalls, enabled printer sharing, and everything else I can think of. Any thoughts?

    *I got it to work after the Bonjour Printer Wizard proved ineffective.*
    Here is what I did:
    1. Installed the iP4500 printer driver from CD (v 2.11) while the printer was connected to my WinXP machine with a USB cable.
    2. Reconnected printer to AEBS and restarted AEBS.
    3. Select 'Add a new printer' in Windows
    4. Select 'Local Printer' in the dialog box (auto detect and install
    should be off), click next.
    5. Choose 'Create a new port' and "Standard TCP/IP Port'. Click next.
    6. For the printer IP address, enter the address of the base station 10.0.1.1.
    *7. Set Port Number: 9103*
    - The one time the Bonjour Print Wizard saw my iP4500 and set it up, it append '9103' to the location name. I assumed it selected port 9103. After trying ports 9100, 9101, and 9102 (which all failed to work), I successfully connected with port 9103. Oddly, the Bonjour port still does not work.
    8. Click next.
    9. For the device type, choose 'Canon iP4500 series', then click Finish.
    10. Choose your printer from the list and follow the rest of the prompts to install and configure the driver.
    *It now prints color duplex from my WinXP machine across the wireless network.*

  • Vista laptop sees printer but won't connect

    Vista laptop sees printers on xp server network but won't let me connect telling me "access denied" and "you do not have sufficient rights to perform this operation". What's up with this?

    Yes, getting XP and Vista to share correctly is no small feat.  I don't think you have a printer, printer software or driver problem.  I think you have a Windows sharing problem.  Have you googled for solutions in other areas?  Microsoft's forums?
    I was able to help someone else yesterday with this post (and some of their ingenuity as well).  Maybe it will help.

  • IPhone 5 Wi-Fi problems: "sees" the network, but won't connect

    Hi everybody,
    For the past 3 days I've been having sudden problems with my brand new iPhone 5 (version 6.0.2 {10A551}).
    It just won't connect to the internet, no matter what I do. It actually "sees"the availble networks, but when I put the password in, it says"Unable to connect to the network".
    I tried Resetting Network settings and All Settings, to no avail.
    The irony is that I get Facebook notifications, App of the day Notifications, occasional mails, but nothing else. Email sync is erratic, and always with the little round circle where the WiFi icon should be. No Whatsapp, Viber, etc.
    I'm totally baffled and equally desperate.
    Can anyone help me please?
    Many thanks in advance and Happy New Year to all thread readers.

    Try restarting your router first, turn it off for a minute then back on. then go to settings on your phone, then wifi, tap on the blue arrow to the right of your wifi 's  name, then tap forget this network. Then go to the home screen, Then hold the home and off button down until the apple symbol comes up. Then go back into wifi and try to connect.

  • Not able to connect to wifi using iPhone 4 with OS5, sees the network but won't connect.

    Recently upgraded my iPhone 4 to the OS5 and I keep having sporadic issues with connecting to my home wifi, it sees the network but never connects.  I turned of Location Services and Cellular Data for that had worked sometimes, but now it just keeps spining and never connects.  I tried to reset network settings, reset my wifi router and reset my phone and nothing, it will connect at my church for example and other places but not at home.  I have MAC addressing security set on my router and I verified my iPhone MAC address is authorized.  Any other suggestions?

  • IMac sees the ethernet but won't connect to the internet

    we had a power outage that crashed the imac.   now it won't connect to the internet.  the imac can see the ethernet connection.   we have several other apple and dell devices that all see the internet so it's not cabling or hardware.    it's a cable modem connection that uses automatic DHCP configuration.  I've created a new Location setting with no change.   I'm assuming that there is a corrupted file since all the other systems connect fine.  any idea which one it may be or what else I should be looking for?

    Shot in the dark, but did you try an SMC reset?
    SMC Reset
    Shut down the computer.
    Unplug the computer’s power cord and disconnect peripherals.
    Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
    Release the power button.
    Attach the computers power cable.
    Press the power button to turn on the computer.

  • After connecting to Bluetooth keyboard, iPad 2 will not connect to Internet (wifi) at all. Wifi is ok, have tried turning off bltooth, wifi on iPad. It sees the network but won't connect.  Help?  Have also reset network settings etc

    My iPad wifi was working great until I I connected it by Bluetooth to a keyboard (zagg).  It was the first time I'd used Bluetooth
    Immediately Internet was dropped on my ipad. My iPhone was and is still connected no prob. And I cannot get the iPad wifi to work again....at all!!!
    This is major as I am away from my desktop for three months.  Any fix cannot involve being at my desktop with iTunes which is 10,000 km away
    So far This is what I've tried based on other discussions-
    -turned Bluetooth off and unpaired to keyboard which was also turned off
    - turned iPad wifi off and on (several times)
    - forgot the network I useArrive Jul 19 depart Aug 25th. Originally it was Sept 9.
    -- reset network settings
    What happens is that the iPad sees the network and I enter my password. But, instead of getting "check mark" indicating a successful connections it keeps "circling".  Sometimes the airport bars will show, but disappear or flicker.  It never connects with a check noted in settings.   Any attempts to use internet confirm there is no connection
    My network is not a cafe or public network. It is one I regularly use here at my family's home where I am visiting
    Any ideas!

    Additional things to try.
    Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

  • ARD sees remote computer but won't connect

    I previously used ARD 2 to connect to my Mom's Mac and all worked well. She recently had to replace her router due to a bad power supply and during that time frame I also upgraded to ARD 3. Ever since I have been unable to gain access to her computer. (I did install the ARD 3 client for her.)
    If I'm at her house and connected to her router with my laptop I can gain access, but if I'm at home I cannot.
    I checked the port forwarding settings on her router last night and both ports 5900 and 3283 were set to "both". In addition I read where ARD uses port 5988 so I turned forwarding on there as well. When I got home I was still unable to get to her computer.
    I'd used DynDNS since she's on DSL and doesn't have a static IP. When I try to connect using the DynDNS hostname it shows up in the ARD scanner, but the IP address is not what her computer is using at the time. I went to WhatIsMyIP.com to get the actual IP address she was using and I can enter that and her computer name will show up in the ARD list so it is seeing her computer is out there, but when I try to connect to it the connection fails. I tried removing her from ARD and re-adding and that didn't help either. I also have ARD on my work computer and am unable to access her computer from there so I don't think the problem is on my home network.
    Any ideas on what I might be missing here? I don't know whether this had to do with the router change or the ARD update. I only get in to her house periodically and would like to get this resolved so I can help her when she has computer problems. Thanks!

    I checked my router last night and all settings were ok. I had previously saved screen shots of all my router settings and will compare them to my Mom's. I still need to check on her end and I won't get in that way until the weekend, so I'll post back on Monday to let you know what I find.
    On the address I'm entering in ARD, this is the part I'm not understanding. I had set my Mom up with a DynDNS account so that I wouldn't need to enter a specific IP address when trying to access her computer since her IP is not static. Prior to the router change and ARD update I simply entered in her DynDNS host name in ARD to access her computer. It would connect fine and show me the IP address assigned by her ISP. Now when I enter in her hostname, the hostname shows up with a 74.x.x.x address, which is not what her ISP is assigning if you look at her computer. It typically begins with 68.x.x.x. If I have her go to WhatsMyIP and check the assigned IP and enter that in ARD I can see her actual computer name and the correct IP address, but still can't connect to it. Weird.
    Anyway, I'll post back on Monday after I get a chance to look at her settings this weekend and see if we can resolve anything. Thanks again for the help Dave!

  • Windows XP laptop sees wireless network but won't connect

    I set up a wireless network on my airport extreme using my MacBook. The McBook runs great on the wireless network. My old Dell laptop running Windows XP sees the wireless network I created (with full signal strength) but every time I hit "connect" I get the following error message, "Windows is unable to connect to the selected network. The network may no longer be in range. Please refresh the list of available networks, and try to connect again." When I referesh the list, the wireless network is still there, and i still cannot connect, getting the same error message.
    Any suggestions?

    Hello apetera. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    Per chance are you using WEP for your wireless encryption?
    If so, one of the problems with WEP is that the actual standard relies on a 10 character HEX key for 40bit WEP and a 26 character HEX key for 128bit WEP.
    In order to make things easier, vendors use certain algorithms to convert simple alphanumeric passwords (or passphrases) into HEX keys, thus enabling the use of simple easy to remember WEP password rather than lengthy HEX keys. The problem is that different vendors use different algorithms to generate the HEX key and therefore a ASCII password on an AEBS will be hashed differently on a non-Apple client and vice versa.

  • Satellite L300-135 sees WLan network but won't connect

    Well, (new laptop) initially it worked with my BT hub at home... then decided to stop working - recieves no signal or response from the router - even though other laptops in the house can connect without any problem
    and now the wireless does not work - ie. I can see the wireless connection but cannot connect.
    I'm sure the wireless is not switched off (before anyone suggests so)
    I searched for more up to date drivers but nothing seems to work.
    Please help!

    Hi
    First of all you should check if your WLan card has been recognized properly.
    I mean you have to check it in the device manager!
    Your WLan card should be the Realtek 802.11g(RTL8187B)
    Download and install the newest WLan driver from the Realtek page.
    Then update the BIOS.
    Finally configure all the WLan settings again.
    In device manger -> WLan card properties -> Advanced tab disable the power saving settings and check other settings which could affect the connectivity.
    Good luck

  • We use an Airport Extreme in my office, which works fine for me. Occasionally we need to have more than one computer running on it, but for some reason it won't connect to the internet. It says we have internet, but won't connect to wifi. What's going on?

    I use my computer everyday in our office and have no issue connecting to the internet/wifi, but when my boss comes in and tries to connect it doesn't work. It tells her she has internet, but won't connect to the wifi. We've tried a few different tactics(the basic ones I've seen on here), but nothing seems to be working for us. My computer automatically connects to our wifi.
    Just recently the Airport Extreme has started with the blinking amber colored light on the front, which I believe means something is wrong? Can anyone help us figure out what's going on and why we can't get my boss' computer to connect as it should?
    Thank you!

    Here's an update:
    Now the light is not blinking. It's a solid, consistant green. I don't know if it helps to narrow it down or anything, but I just figured I'd mention it.
