My MAC MINI looses the wi-fi connection to a Belkin N wireless router when it goes to sleep or shuts down. I have to re select the network when re starting or waking up the computer. I think this just started with LION. My iPod and iPad have no problem remembering the wireless network.

Thank you BGreg. That is what I have been doing, and then it works just fine. I think it was doing the same thing in the previous version of Lion. I may be incorrect about that. I upgraded to 10.7.3 a few weeks ago, and then last week I reloaded the combo update, hoping it would help. Not so. Thank you for letting me know it is a common problem. I have tried permissions in Disk Utilities, and in Macaroni, both at least 4 times, plus numerous restarts. Nothing Improves. It still can not find the internet when it wakes up or gets up.

In the lefthand sidebar of Finder, under 'Shared', I encounter in addition my TC, another computer, identified by a long name starting with 'hp'. I don't have another computer. What could this be? And how to get rid of it?

In the Finder sidebar, under 'Shared', I encounter my TC, as well as another item with a long name starting with 'hp'. 'Get info' shows it to be a 'PC'. However, I don't have a PC. It cannot be my printer (HP), since that has anoter name.
I can not access the item, which has me a 'guest'.
What could this item be? And how to get rid of it?
Many thanks in advance for your help.

It's almost certainly your hp printer and is showing the WiFi adapter MAC address after the HP.
To verify, look at the printer configuration page via Bonjour in Safari. The settings tab shows the Mac address in the bottom left hand corner for my model of HP printer.
I'm sorry but I can't explain why that would show up in the finder.

I have the "never remember my history" selected in options, yet when I close Firefox and reopen, it goes directly to my hotmail inbox. This just started a few days ago, and it's a security hassel. What can I do?

The only way I can clear it is to actually go in and manually delete my history. Help, please! Before a few days ago, my email session would only stay active as long as I didn't close the browser. I believe this applies to all sites requiring a password.

I wonder whether Firefox is not really shutting down completely. Would you mind checking the Task Manager?
After closing Firefox, press Ctrl+Shift+Esc and view the Applications tab. Firefox should disappear.
Then check the Processes tab. Click the button to show processes from all users, and click the Image Name column heading to alphabetize for easier visual scanning. firefox.exe should close within 15 seconds, after all file maintenance is completed. If it is not closing, then some other process may be keeping it running, preventing your session from ending.
If the session is ending, and your "When Firefox starts" is not set to "Show my windows and tabs from last time", the two normal ways you could be logged back in automatically are cookies and saved passwords.
In case an add-on is responsible, you could try starting in Firefox's Safe Mode with add-ons disabled and see whether Firefox still remembers your session.
First, make a backup of your profile folder for safekeeping. To back up Firefox, see [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information].
Next, see [http://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode Safe Mode]. Be careful not to "reset" anything permanently if you didn't back up.
Does that change anything?

I keep getting a connection failed error message from mail every time my computer goes to sleep, is shut down and/or I change network connections?

Mail mail was working fine for months but now I keep getting an error message every time my computer shuts down or even goes to sleep. I get the exclamation point error and when I try to reconnect it always falis. My internet connection is fine and nothing else is losing connections. The only way to fix it is to shut down mail completely and restart which fixes the connection every time, but it's getting really frustrating have to constantly shut down mail and restart it just to use my email.

Bump ???

Since changing over to a new BT hub my iPad mini will not recognise an Epson XP printer although this worked fine with Sky. Printer and iPad set up for new hub and independently recognise hub

Since changing over to a new BT home hub, my iPad mini does not recognise an Epson XP 305 air printer although system worked well on previous Sky hub. Both printer and iPad set up and recognise hub independently. Has anyone come across this problem?

When openning a PDF file, a new tab will open but it will be blank, it does not download or open any pdf files, this just started the last 3 days....!!!!

Hi,
I am on the verge of deleting Firefox from my computer as it has wasted hours of my time, and none of the online trouble-shooting answers are of any help.
Until recently I could open PDF files in my browser window, and today its impossible to open any pdf file, it will not even download if I choose to download it.
This issue has been going on and off for nearly a year, and I downloaded Nitro PDF add-on to solve it previously as the Adobe reader add-on didn't do anything. Today In the options menu of applications where I can select the program I want to open the PDF files with I can no longer find the NitroPDF reader as an option, so I choose the Adobe add-on and no matter how many re-starts it refuses to initiate any PDF files, all I get is a open and empty new tab.
Internet explorer opens PDF files fine, so I know its not computer related.
I am running Windows Vista Ultimate, Firefox Version 19.0.
If there is a way of fixing this, please help because currently I am at the end of my patience.
Regards,
Emre

Hey thanx for the help, it worked like a charm.
I think firefox changed the application lay out, as I used to be able to choose my PDF opener from the list at " Adobe Acrobat Forms Document' where I could choose Nitro-PDF reader, but it has now moved all the way to the bottom like you suggested to the obvious place of "Portable Document Format" section.
If someone didn't tell me , I wouldn't have scrolled all the way down to be able to find it... it really should be with all its cousins up the top...
Cheers again..

HT1349 When I click on a song in iTunes, I get an error message that the song could not be located. This just started happening. Why? And how can I fix this?

I have all of my songs on an external hard drive. It was working fine with iTunes; now when I click on a song, I get an error message that the song cannot be located. What happended and more importantly, how can I fix this?

Is this an iPad issue? Not sure where you are "clicking" or how you are accessing. A little more info would help.

I get an error message every time i try to open google, when I click on it it goes to the site, this just started with the new update

It really annoying

Try re-installing Java. See [[Using the Java plugin with Firefox]]
A quick search for jqsnotify.exe on Google indicates that it is related to the Java quick start option.

I am having trouble dragging new emails to my folders. This just started with my new windows 8.1. Old windows was XP

When I switched from XP to Windows 8.1, I now cannot drag the new mesaages into folders I had set up. I get the blue bar to drag over, but message doesn't move to folder.

are you dragging the messages to folders in Thunderbird or into the file system on win8

Firefox won't load any web site under my login, if I use another account it works fine, this problem start with 7.01 update. I have 8.0 now, other browser works fine with no problem.

unable to load any web site, no error message, just a blank page.
safari and chrome work fine, in fact I am using chrome to type this up. This problem only limited to my account, I have created other account and firefox work as it should with no problem. I am unsure with else to clear to get firefox working again.

Update: This is NOT just related to "Yahoo" pages, while this problem first began with some of my Yahoo pages, it is now also happening with other NON Yahoo things I want to load up. Like Twitter, or Links in emails that load Blank, or even images within emails that show up Blank in the preview part of Yahoo mail. It is NOT a Yahoo issue as I have loaded up my Yahoo Mail in IE and Chrome, and everything loads wonderfully. I can even load up sites like Twitter, and other websites that will NOT load in Firefox, but they come up fine in other Browsers.
I have done the ONLY suggestion that came from Firefox Tech support, to load up FF in Safe Mode, but the problems still exists. I have uninstalled FF and re-loaded it, but the same problem is there.
Does anyone have any ideas here at all? I can't seem to get any Fire Fox help, so I am reaching out to the community here to see if anyone can help.... Thank you !!

My ipad2 just started crashing. I restored and still have same issue

Had my ipad2 for 6 months and had no issues. Last week it started crashing when browsing or in apps I restored the iPad but same issue. Any ideas?
Thanks

If the smtp is rejecting your password you should go in.
Mail -> Preferences -> Accounts
Select your Yahoo account in the sidebar on the left.
In account information tab you will see : " Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) "
Click on it and choose edit SMTP server list.
Select Yahoo and click on the advanced tab.
Now fill your new Yahoo password.
Hope it's help.

Apple TV 3 drops network connection when it goes to sleep

I updated my Apple TV 3 to software version 7.0 (based on iOS 8) and now every time it goes to sleep it shuts down the network connection. To wake it up, I either need to use the remote or use an iOS 8 device that supports handoff. At least I think it does since my iPhone 5s can wake it up, but my iPad 2 cannot. I believe the Apple TV is now using Bluetooth for connections. This basically means Airplay with older devices won't work without first waking the Apple TV. I'm not sure the point of the change since I'm using Ethernet, not Wifi, so there's no reason to "power down".
on a side note, sometimes the iPhone 5s can't wake the Apple TV either. It usually wakes up when I open the control panel, but not always. It goes back to sleep when I close the control panel.
Ia there any setting to make it work the way it used to?

the WIFI does not drop when my appletv goes to sleep.
my iphone can still see the appletv (via the airplay icon) when it is asleep.
All you are seeing is the last known Wifi state in iTunes (and similar app in iPhone, iPod, iPad). The AppleTV however has powered down "something" in its own mechanism to conserve power.
For the Apple TV to use such low watts in operation, its got to be powering down something.
I have seen this behaviour before in other devices that try to power down Wifi in a sleep state. It is not connected but it thinks it is. I'm not an expert in Wifi technology so won't state what is happening behind the scenes but do know that re-starting/re-powering up the devices will cause the wifi connections to be re-established.
I would try this but don't have access to my ATV at the moment. Turn off encryption and see if the problem persists. My gut tells me that the WPA/WEP encryption has lost itself in the low power state.
I suspect that 10/100/Gig RJ45 ethernet connections are not affected.

HT1420 I just bought my cousin's ipod, and I want to update it on my computer. However, it needs authorization from his account to keep all the apps, and he's already authorized it on 5 computers. How can I update this ipod without losing all the apps?

You cannot use someone else's apps without violating the license agreement. The apps are tied to the owner (via Apple ID). The right thing to do would be to update and start fresh.

My MAC mini looses the wi-fi connection to a Belkin N wireless router when it goes to sleep or shut down. I have to re select the network when restarting or waking the computer up. I think this just started with Lion. My iPod and iPad have no trouble.
