WiFi work well for you? Not for me...

My iPod Touch's Wi-Fi has never seemed very effective from day one on my home network or when roaming. Does it work better for others?
1st: My home network uses a D-Link wi-fi 802.11G router, with three computers attached (one iMac, one Dell laptop and one no-name PC). I'm on a different channel than my neighbours. Using a WEP key. v1.1.3 on the Touch.
Here's what I get...: Even sitting right next to my wireless router, most pages I try to load in Safari time out. It only seems to work normally with loading a page that has one picture and no text. I can get the Google home page pretty reliably, maybe in 5 seconds or so.
For many sites, I have to stop it and re-load 15-20 times and maybe... a page will then suddenly load. Many never do. Some pages work better like the Google page - but I don't see the pattern on when.
I've tried using the browser on other networks in public places and I get the same results.
I also just bought the upgrade, but the stock app times out (only ever worked once), the maps loaded eventually, I got 34 of my several hundred e-mails to load, YouTube app works more reliably than safari, the iTunes one never has, weather times out.
I'm going to get TimeCapsule when it comes out, and I have the (likely false) hope that using its Airport Extreme router will improve things and my Touch will work better. Is there something else I might be missing?

I had this exact web page loading oddity after I upgraded to 1.1.3
it had worked just fine from Xmas to the upgrade
apple tech support couldnt help at all except to suggest the obvious which was to try I different wifi network
I did and it worked
so it seemed something was now incompatible with my 5+ yr old linksys 55ag router
so I decided to for 50$ try a new router
I bought a linksys 54 g router and now it works
the mystery as to Why still bugs me
apple can't/won't say why or how 1.1.3 could have been responsible
anyway I'm working now and its probably better with a new router I guess
othrs seem to be having similar issues but nothing difinitve
goo luck

Has any had you try a reset yet? Sometimes the WiFi & Cellular anntennas get wacky.
Hold Sleep/Wak & Home buttons until the screen goes dark and you see the Apple logo

Hey janicem42177174,
Adobe no longer supports the installation and use of Acrobat 6 as it is a very old version which is not compatible with Windows 7.
I would suggest you to please use the latest version of Acrobat i.e. 11.0.10 which is fully compatible with your OS with its enhanced features and functions.
You might download a free 30-day trial version of Acrobat from here:
Download Adobe Acrobat free trial | Acrobat XI Professional
Let me know how it goes
Regards,
Anubha

Is anyone using NETGEAR Push2TV with a MacBook Pro and AirPort Extreme and does it work well for you?

I am interested in buying a NETGEAR Push2TV display TV streamer to use with my MacBook Pro and AirPort Extreme.

I need a reliable office suite. Open Office is not working well for me. Any suggestions?

I need a good reliable office suite. Open Office is not working well for me. Any suggestions?

If you mean Open Office is not always able to correctly open documents received from clients created with MS Office, then the only real solution is to purchase Office 2011 for Mac. As good as some of the free alternatives are, they can't duplicate every feature of MS Office.

Is LION OS working well for all you?

Is LION OS working well for all you? never thought it could be such a problem, it's the fisrt time it happens to me with an Apple product!. problems with safari, aperture, iphoto, opening/closing windows, right now is so close in performance to all windows versions than Apple high quality products at the level that all we have been expected with the release of Lion. Really dissappointed, and just hope that Apple tech suppor team solves this situation with a new sofware update.

For most yes, For me definitely yes. I upgraded over SL, used it for a week or more. Then updated my daughter's i5 MBP. that went well and she is happy. Then I updated my wife's MB Air. now THAT should tell you the confidence I have built in Lion. !!!

Will After Effect work well for adding subtitles to a music video?

Will after effect work well for adding subtitles to a music video? Or is there an easier Adobe product I should use?

Is there a way to protect music and video after a change is made to the beginning of a finished movie so as not to throw off the already completed music and video timeline?
If you are referring to music in the "floating" green background, then no. It will automatically readjust itself to the start of your project each time new material is added to the beginning of your project. On the other hand, you can add your music to a clip rather than a background and this audio you can "pin" to a clip so that it remains in the same position relative to the clip and any following clips which it may overlap.
ADDED: Oops! Looks like Winston beat me out here...

Does the iPod Touch work well for web browsing and submitting resumes?

Hi, I am interested to know if the Touch would work well for a specific application. Lets say I'm surfing company career websites and want to browse and submit my resume. Would this work well for that? Usually on a computer, I can upload a Word Doc or PDF resume when the career site asks for it. Is this possible? I was wondering if anyone has tried this and can tell me. For instance, has anyone used the Touch to post a resume to Apple's or IBM's career job sites?
Thanks.

Just to clarify. I'm specifically asking if a web form that allows you to browse your hard drive on a Mac to submit a word doc can also be used on Touch. So if I have a PDF of my resume, can I use a webform to submit it just like on a mac?

I'm using ProTools9 and an MBox, will Mainstage 3 work well for me? Will i be able to use my plugins?

I'm using ProTools9 and an MBox, will Mainstage 3 work well for me? Will I be able to use my plugins?
I want to perform live, using a few stems as playback, and I want to put fx on my live vocals.

ProTools plugins only work in ProTools. The MBox should work fine with the CoreAudio drivers.

This crap just happened to me this morning where I was sent 90% data plan threshold warningfrom AT&T (while sleeping at 7:09am) then 5 minutes later getting the Overage data plan warning from AT&T. This is all while I'm asleep right next to my phone plugged into a (non-Apple) dock on my clock radio.
Android has a limiting feature, why can't the "smart" guys at Apple learn from this??

How does the verizon wifi work? Do you pay monthly?

I want to buy the new iPad with retina display as a gift, but how does this verizon wifi work? Do you pay monthly or have to call Verizon?

You're post is a little confusing. WiFi signals are not done through Verizon unless you are talking about using a Verizon MiFi hotspot such as this http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/store/controller?&item=phoneFirst&action=view PhoneOverviewByDevice&deviceCategoryId=13&cmp=KNC-58700000028195084&zipRdr=y.
4G wireless cell signals are done through Verizon. WiFi comes from places such as your home wireless network, or WiFi hotspots at places like Starbucks, restaurants, pubs, etc.
If you are asking about Verizon's wireless cell service, it's $20 a month for 1 gig of data, $30 a month for 2 gigs of data, or $50 a month for 5 gigs of data.

Wifi works at home but not when away from home

My Wifi works at home but not when away from home, what is wrong? I thought with a phone plan I didn't need to have a wifi connection.

You either need WiFi or Cellular (or both). If you have neither, you can't connect to the internet.
Most people use WiFi at home and Cellular while away from home, or connect to public WiFi networks where there are some.

IOS 6 updated on my 3GS phone. The maps works well but does not give spoken turn by turn directions. Any ideas on how to make this work?

Installed iOS6 on my 3GS phone. The maps app works well, but does not give spoken turn by turn directions.
Any ideas on how to fix this?

Go to http://www.apple.com/ios/maps/ and look at the bottom: Turn-by-turn navigation is available only on iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, and iPad 2 or later with cellular data capability. Flyover is available only on iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, iPad 2 or later, and iPod touch (5th generation). Cellular data charges may apply.
You can always use the WAZE app like I do.
