Voicemail issue since changing network (UK)

Hi,
I've recently changed networks from o2 to Three. I had my iPhone unlocked from o2 and started using my SIM 600 card that i purchased in a Three store.
Initially i had no issue until i was left a voicemail. I soon realised that Three don't offer the visual voicemail facility, however this isn't the issue. On checking my voicemail and deleting it; i've now found that i constantly have the red dot icon (blank) over the voicemail tab on my "phone" app.
I've checked my voicemails and have the reply fromt he voicemail stating "you have no new messages." There is no facility to check to see if there are saved messages so i can delete them, so i presume i have none. I receive the standard text message stating i have voicemail when i reboot the phone, even though i have no voicemail on checking! I've also found that when i check, my iPhone keeps checking for email and also for App updates when i have Email set to Manual (not pushed or fetched) and i certainly ain't hit the App Store!
I've spoken to Three who said that there isn't an issue with the voicemail settings as its working however the technical customer advisor asked me to wait whilst he checked to see if there was anything else he could do to help me. On coming back he said that the tech department are investigating a potential issue to identify whether its a fault on the iPhone side or if its a fault on the Three side. My iPhone was working perfectly well with o2 and on removing the Three sim, and replacing it with another sim it worked perfectly well so i assume its Three's issue which is what i told him.
I've tried a soft reset, i've tried a full restore - setting it up as a new phone or with a backup, still remains. I've tried calling and leaving a voicemail to see if i can flush the system, but nothing. My colleague at work is on Three with the same iPhone, same iOS update etc etc and she doesn't have the issue so I'm bemused.
I read somewhere it could have something to do with the micro sim being an old and outdated sim - could this be the case?
I'm looking for people's help as i'm heading to the Three store on Saturday to request a new micro sim so wanting some bullets to fire when i get there...
If anyone can help, i'd be sincerely grateful!
Cheers
Paul

Just as an update before i close the topic off...
Went into the Three store today and explained the situation to the same guy who sorted the contract out for me. He said he'd never come across it before and couldn't understand why it was happening.
I chanced my arm a little and although it was more or less the whole truth i'd bent the truth a little about the customer services number who didn't have a clue anyway and said that i'd done a bit digging on the internet and mentioned about the micro sim being outdated or something similar. He then offered to try it to sort the issue out, gave me a new micro sim and transferred my details over...got home and swapped the micro sims over.
Voila, icon vanished and no issues thus far...on looking a little closer on the packaging that the micro sim comes with, the initial one i had was from Aug 2011, the newer one was from October 2011 so it may be possible that the post i'd found from googling the issue was correct.
If the issue arises again i'll add to the topic, however so far so good - so i hope that others who may have this issue see this and try the above!
Cheers

Wi-Fi connection issues since securing network

Hi all,
Hoping to get some solutions as I have tried to troubleshoot this issue with other posts and google searches. Here is my scenario :
I'm running OS Lion 10.7.5 on my MBP and have been connected to our home wi-fi for about 12 months on a connection that wasn't secured by password.
Since having some download issues and fearing that someone is connecting outside our household, we have secured our wi-fi and added a password.
Both mine and my sister's iPhones got prompted to select a network, selected the appropriate one, punched in the password and were connected with no issues. My iPad Mini, Dad's laptop and both my parents' phones all connected with no issue.
When I booted my MBP, I was prompted with needing to join a new network and upon selecting our home network was met with an immediate 'Connection timeout' response.
I try to connect manually through Network in the System Preferences and got the same 'Connection Timeout'. When I click 'Assist me' and try to connect that way, I am finally prompted to input the password, which I do correctly and I get 'Invalid Password' etc etc response ... then after about 5 seconds it connects me !!
So even though the connection timed out and I wasn't able to put a password in, manually doing it told me the password was wrong etc then I get connection like normal. If I switch my laptop off/reboot/log out/turn wi-fi off then back on, I'm back to square one and can't connect unless I follow the same tedious steps.
Fearing it was an issue with our router, we have since bought a new one, installed it and reconnected all the devices as mentioned above, however my MBP connection issue still exists.
How can I get it to connect automatically like it used to and recognize our home network with a correct password, without continually having to go through all those steps ?
I have tried to delete that entry in my preferred networks and tried to re-establish it etc. Keychain Access doesn't list my router and input password.
I'd like to be able to solve the issue asap if possible and hopefully without having to delete all of my other known networks that I connect to as I travel all over the country for work and have about 6-8 routers I connect to, depending on what city/office I'm in.
Any assistance would be appreciated !

Some users with various Wi-Fi connection problems have reported that they were given the following instructions by Apple Support, sometimes with success. I can't vouch for this procedure myself. After completing the procedure, you'll have to recreate all your settings in the Network preference pane. Make sure you know how to do that before you begin. Taking screenshots of the preference pane may be helpful.
Step 1
Back up all data.
Triple-click the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item named "SystemConfiguration" selected. Move the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator password.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
Step 2
Reset the System Management Controller

Server 2012 R2 - Change network location from public to private

I am having an issue with changing Network location to private from Public on Server 2012 R2 X64 .
Please note all the reference for previous servers for fixing this issue does not work on 2012 R2.
I am using Static-IP and "Workgroup" as domain setting.
In 2012 server by Right clicking on Network and Turn sharing on or OFF worked but in 2012- R2 Right click is not working not providing turn sharing ON or OFF option.

Check if you can change from here :
Run -- Gpedit.msc-- Open Computer configration -->Windows Settings -->Security Settings -->select Network list manager policies

Wireless network connection issues since last security update

Hi All,
I've run into an annoying problem since I applied the last security update.
I've locked my wireless network a home down pretty tight. One of the settings I set is the "don't broadcast SSID" for that tiny bit more of security.
Since the last security update my MacBook doesn't connect to my wireless anymore. There are two ways I can get it to connect:
1. Manually tell it to connect by resupplying the SSID and the WPA key info.
2. Reconfig my wireless to show it's SSID, connect, tell wireless to hide it's SSID. I then lose connection but have a few seconds that the MacBook "knows" the wireless exists and I can select to connect to it from the wireless icon in my top menu bar.
Anyopne run into this issue and know a fix? Getting annoyed of having to do this every time I boot. Especially as I needed to change my WPA key into something I can remember instead of the 56char key I used to have
thanx

Thanks Eric! Since changing this setting last night, all has been ok

Anyone else had issues with phone network being unavailable on iPhone 4 since updating to iOS 5.0.1? My iPhone 4 is continually searching for a network and does not find my provider. I swapped SIMs with another iPhone 4 on ios 4 to confirm device problem.

Has anyone else had issues with phone network being unavailable on iPhone 4 since updating to iOS 5.0.1? My iPhone 4 is continually searching for a network and does not find AT&T, my provider. I swapped SIM cards with another iPhone 4 running ios 4 and established this is a device problem, not a SIM card problem.

Does the device get any signal?
Sounds like the device may have had a hardware failure. If it is out of warranty, the only option is the Out of Warranty replacement.
AppleCare is only an option if it is still under the original warranty.

HT2458 Has anyone else who uses AT&T as their carrier been told if you cannot access your voicemail through your iPhone that there is no way to check your voicemails? This is an issue since I had to send my phone in for repair. Thank you

You received incorrect information from AT&T. You can indeed access your voicemail without your iPhone.
Call AT&T at (800) 331-0500 (assuming you're in the U.S.). This is a 24 hour a day, 7 day a week number. Ask them how to access your voicemail. Normally, you would just do this by dialing your number from another phone, typing "*" once your voicemail recording starts, and entering your password. You don't know your password, so it's probably the last four digits of your phone number or perhaps the seven - or ten-digit phone number. Let the AT&T person tell you.

Performance issues since upgrade

I am on a late 2011 MacBook Pro and am having severs performance issues since upgrading to Mavericks. I fear my issues may be related to company installed anti-virus (which I cannot remove), but I was hoping someone could look over my EtreCheck for other potential solutions.
One really odd issue I am having, which I cannot seem to find good information for on Google, is at least 4-5 times a day my Mac just stops. No beach ball, no anything, for about 1-5 minutes. Then it's fine. Maybe just me grasping at straws, but it seems related to a when webpage loads a bunch of images? I always use Safari btw, but testing other browsers, like Chrome & Firefox, it happens as well.
I have also removed TotalFinder and have noticed no improvement and still have the above issue.
Thanks in advance!

How to print from an Ipad2 3G without changing networks?

I bought my elderly parents an Ipad 3G for Christmas because they cannot get anything but dial-up service at their home for a computer. We also bought an HP printer with AirPrint and e-Print. However, in order to print to the printer, you must turn off the 3G network and enter a wireless network that the printer is on. Well, going into setting and changing every time they want/need to print is simply to technical for them. is there any way to print directly to the printer, wirelessly, using either the AirPrint or this e-Print that HP has? Has anyone written a 3rd party app that will do this? Why doesn't Apple fix this issue since people are paying very expensive prices plus monthly fees to have the 3G versions so they can gain internet access. IMHO, without the ability to print to a printer while on the 3G and connected to the internet, the thing is near useless. Apple has really dropped the ball, here, and I think that this is very unlike Apple not to have thought of this.
Does anyone know of an app that when you need to print and push print, will automatically switch to the printer network, send the file to the printer, and then swithch back. I think this is a poor way to do this, but at least it is a way to do it that won't require my parents to get all upset trying to go into settings and fool with turning networks on and off.
Thanks,
JJ the mustang man

JJ-
I do not have the 3G model. Is this a real problem, or just one you are worried will happen? I was under the impression that the 3G iPad would change its Internet connection between WiFi and 3G as needed, but would continue to print via WiFi regardless of how it accessed the Internet.

Various issues since Leopard upgrade

I have just installed Leopard on a Dual 2.7 G5 with a 500GB Hitachi HDD and 5GB RAM and I have noticed one or two niggling little 'quirks' (I am lumping everything together here, rather than separating them in to more appropriate sections, so that I have a record of everything together).
1) I have an Epson Perfection 4870 scanner which I cannot use to scan directly from applications (for quickness I mainly use Preview) as the 'scan' button is always unavailable (greyed out, not highlighted in blue). This has been an issue since at least 10.4.8, so it's not a problem exclusive to Leopard, but it's extremely annoying nonetheless. As I can scan directly from the Epson Scan software (which is basically the driver) Epson will not assist me further and have directed me to Apple/Adobe/MS, etc., for support. Prior to 10.4.8 (IIRC) I could select 'import' (from whatever application) and it would automatically preview, the scan button would then become available and hitting it would launch the driver software. However, the link between the applications and the driver seems to have been severed somehow/somewhere and it is no longer recognising that the unit has finished its preview in order to make the 'scan' button available for the next part of the process.
In Tiger, I could also scan into Epson's EasyScan application, but have been told this isn't 10.5 compatible.
Does the above make sense...? Has anyone else experienced this - and have you solved it? If so, how?
2) This next bit concerns the Dock. I like to have it hidden along the left hand side of the screen, rather than at the bottom, because I only have a 17" panel and desktop space is at a premium. However, about one restart in five, it's back along the bottom and any icons or folders that I have added to it have gone AWOL.
3) The third issue is a sound issue. I have a Revolution 7.1 card which I understand, from reading a notice on M-Audio's Web site, is not yet Leopard compatible (though the promise it will be "very soon"' though as the last driver release didn't support anything newer than 10.4.6, IIRC, I'm not holding my breath!)
So I have removed the card and plugged my Logitech Z5500s back into the 'on board' card. This was working flawlessly under Tiger (I know because I tested it to make sure, because I knew that the Revolution wouldn't function under Leopard). However, whatever I try, I only seem to hear sound from the internal speaker; I even replaced the optical cable (at great expense - the original was a Belkin Gold Series, and so is the replacement and, at about £35 a pop, it's not a trivial outlay). Everything in the sound sys prefs is completely 'greyed out' so I cannot change it from the internal speaker to anything else. Whilst there is nothing on Logitech's Web site as regards to the Leopard compatibility of any of its products (it seems that it gave up on the Mac a very long time ago; I use a MX510 which was the last of their rodents to have any kind of OS X support and that stopped with 10.4.4, IIRC) I cannot see how a set of speakers, which should work with anything that has the required jack sockets, can be fussy about an OS. Incidentally, I also have a 'dark side' box running XP Home (when I win the lottery, I'll buy a Mac Pro and dispense with it) and they're plugged in there and work fine (via analogue, though, not digital).
I noticed it when I received some CDs that I'd ordered from Amazon the other day and found that iTunes was playing through the internal speaker.
4) The final issue is a networking issue. Under Tiger, I could (though it did take me some tweaking to get it working smoothly) dump things from the G5 on to the Windoze box and vice versa, without too many hiccups. However, Leopard is proving to be somewhat of a challenge, to say the least. I don't know how I managed it, but I did manage to render the machine completely inoperable at one point (it would only boot as far as the grey 'Apple logo' screen and I couldn't open the optical drive to stick the DVD in - a panicked phone call to a friend, who runs his own Mac repair and consultancy business, followed!
I don't understand SMB and AFP (though I do know about FTP). In the Finder, I can see the 'doze box and can send things to it (though should I be connected as 'guest'?) but there is nothing on the Windoze side, save for 'Printers and Faxes'). I have made sure I have permissions set correctly and everything is set up to share (and Windows sharing is on) but there is nothing on the other box at all.
Is it possible to share the main HDD across, or am I limited to this silly 'Drop Box' thing (which I did have available under 'doze at one point, though it was read only and I couldn't change permissions from Leopard because I didn't have sufficient privileges, even though I have an admin account and I could change permissions under Tiger with the same level of 'clearance'.)
4) This final issue is sort of linked with 3) as it concerns what I believe to be erroneous error messages. I was clearing some stuff off a drive I was going to use for Time Machine[1], but I wasn't allowed to delete most of it because 'XYZ was in use' or open in an application. Six reboots later, I was still receiving the same error; strikes me that Leopard's got its knickers in a knot somewhere along the line because the files in question (mainly old Word and Excel docs) were certainly NOT in use as I didn't have either installed at the time!
[1]Though having read the problems people are having with TM (not just here, but on other forums I read/post to) I think I might give it a miss and stick with ChronoSync (just have to wait for it to be compatible).
So, this is actually the second installation, but the problems remain - any help out there?
Sorry for the verboseness of this, but I wanted to make sure that I'd covered everything. I'm almost tempted to reinstall Tigger (but not quite - I like Spaces, and I like the Dock Preview).
Cheers for any assistance, folks!
Fran

Fran, I'm not sure I'm going to be much help for all your problems but I will attempt to answer what I can.
1. Scanner problems - have you tried reinstalling the software? I know you mentioned that the easyscan software is not compatible but it sounds like the driver software isn't in the right place. Optionally another program that you might want to look into is vuescan. I have had good success with the program in the past but I have yet to try it under Leopard.
2. Dock problems this sounds like either a corrupted preference list. But I don't have a clue as to why it might be reoccurring. Have you fixed permissions on your computer since installation?
3. I don't have a clue to figure out how to fix this issue.
4. Networking - As for sending things to the doze box. You don't need to be connected as guest. Just use the username and password that you use when you sign into the windows to sign into the windows box and you should have the same rights as you would as if you were using windows on that computer. Yes it is possible to share the main HDD but it isn't something that I would recommend. What I do recommend is creating a folder where you have both read and write rights to and then use that folder share items across both computers. If this isn't something that is going to work for then at the most I would just share your documents folder. You didn't mention how your trying view information on the windows side you should be able to browse your network and eventually find and see the mac.
4 (part 2) - I would recommend something besides TM, it is designed to recover lost/accidentally deleted files. And isn't really designed for being your complete backup program. Yes, you can use it for that but I would recommend something more robust. Some of that comes down to how you want to define your recovery strategy. Superduper!, promotes themselves as having the ability to boot for your backup drive and being able to almost immediately get back in business. If this is a critical factor to you then I would lean in that direction. If you are just worried about having a backup of critical data files then Chronosync or some other program will work just as well. Also mentioned in your post in this paragraph is a description of "files in use" problems. A couple of things come to mind did you let spotlight finish indexing your drive before you tried deleting files? I've run into a problem similar to this in Tiger when I was deleting files while spotlight was indexing.
One item that you didn't mention was what kind of installation you did when you installed Leopard. If you didn't do an 'erase and install" then that might be something to look into. First back up your computer before doing this. You might also want to run a permissions fix on your drive to see if that helps at all.

Desktop does not update when I change networks

I'm having this odd behavior that I hope someone can shed some light on.
My desktop is set to keep my icons arranged by name. All of my volumes appear on the desktop, as well. I've noticed in recent weeks that whenever I switch networks, my desktop stops updating. It happens when I unplug my ethernet at work and move to the wireless network, or when I pack up, come home, and connect to my wireless network at home. When I connect to a network volume or plug in my iPod, the icons do not appear on my desktop. Or, if I delete a file from my desktop, it leaves an empty space instead of rearranging the icons like I have it set to do.
I've found two ways to fix it.
(1) Relaunch Finder.
(2) Open the Desktop View Options (Command-J) and adjust the grid spacing.
Once I do either of these things, all of the icons rearrange appropriately and network volumes I've connected to since switching networks appear. However, on Monday, when I go in to work, I'll have to do one of those two things again.
Maybe it's just a nuisance, but I worry that behavior like this is a symptom of a larger problem. I can't think of any new software I've installed that might be causing this trouble. I've repaired permissions and deleted caches and all that stuff. Has anyone else experienced this problem?

Since changing the grid spacing fixes things, I don't think this is a switching network issue. It sounds to me like its a switching screen resolutions issue. I'm guessing that you have your machine plugged into a monitor at one location and not the other, or you have monitors of different sizes/resolutions at both locations. You can test this theory by simply changing your screens resolution once you get your machine into this state. If it fixes the problem, then I was right.
As far as a permanent fix, I don't think there is one. Only workarounds like you have already discovered.

Major iPad 3 WiFi connection issues since 5.1.1 update

Prior to the 5.1.1 update (which ironically was supposed to fix wifi issues), my iPad 3 worked great. Since the update it has been a complete disaster.
Even though it always shows a strong wifi connection, certain apps seem to have no connection while others work fine. Safari usually works ok, although sometimes pictures won't show up - just a small box in the corner. Facebook app always seems to have issues as does Pandora. The biggest problem is the App Store or iTunes which say it cannot connect even though Safari works fine at the same time. Ive tried reconnecting, rebooting, and I even bought a new router since I thought maybe my old one was causing the problem.
Is Apple fessing up to this issue? I have to believe it is a software/firmware issue since before the update everthing worked fine.

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.

Textedit and preview crashing in osx lion when changing network location

I did upgrade to lion on launch and noticed that textedit and preview work quite well except when changing network location: after a few seconds of spinning ball, both crash.
Tried repairing permissions, deleting "containers" folders in my library and so on, without luck.
Anyone is experiencing the same problem?
This is an excerpt of the crash log:

UPDATE 2: I'm having this issue both on my iMac and my Macbook, so I suppose it's a lion bug and not simply something related to something that went wrong during the update (permissions or something like this). It's both in 10.7 and 10.7.1.
I'm going to try on my wife's Macbook to see if it's something related to some software or setting I'm using; in the meanwhile, can someone out there try to reproduce this issue? Just open textedit and change the network location from the menu bar (you should create one other than "automatic" for "locations" to show up just below "dock"): at this point you should get the spinning ball and then a window telling you that textedit just crashed. Try to do a couple of times if it doesn't crash the first one.
BTW I noticed that textedit doesn't crash if you have the network preference pane open and active ("system preferences" showed on the menu bar) and change the location from the menu bar.
I think I'm going to give a call to Applecare to see if there's some plan to get this corrected in some next update.
