10.9.2 Messed up my WiFi really bad.

I recently upgraded my Mid-2009 13 inch macbook to 10.9.2 (from 9.1 I believe) and now my wireless internet doesn't work.
When I start up the computer it will show me possible networks to connect to but when I click on them nothing happens.
If I delete airport in system prefs and then add it again it shows no networks.
If I turn off airport, when I click "turn on" it does nothing.
I've spent the last few hours trying every possible suggestion that is out there.
Things I have tried:
Deleting Airport in System Prefs and recreating it.
Deleting ALL network related plist files including the entire SystemConfiguration folder
Removing the battery and reinstalling it.
Removing the battery for several minutes and reinstalling it
resetting the PRAM
Booting in Safe Mode
Searching for 10.9.1 full install to boot from disk, can't find download anywhere.
Anyone have any other ideas?

go into sys/prefs/network. click on assist me, click assistant. the mac will then configure your wifi for you.

[865PE/G Neo2 Series] I Messed Up My Computer Really Bad

Wow. Where to begin.
I was in my BIOS looking at DRAM timings and Frequencies... noticed that there for DDR500 it had (4:5), which I presume means the RAM runs out-of-sync with the processor. I tried it out to see what it would do.
Well, my computer wouldn't boot. And it wouldn't revert back to default BIOS settings which it normally does when I set something in the BIOS that it doesn't like. And I thought the appropriate course of action in this situation was to reset the CMOS battery. Evidently it was not the right thing to do, because it screwed everything up royally.
After resetting, I booted up and saw some CoreCell logo which I've NEVER seen before, ever. Instead of going to the screen which shows the Energy Star logo and lists all my hardware being checked, it goes to a couple lines saying something about Realtek Gigabit Ethernet controller. It busies itself for a few seconds, then says 'Boot Failed. Insert Boot Disk and press any Key'. Uh-oh.
I restart and try to get into my BIOS. It gives me options of either press F1 to go into Setup or F2 to Load Defaults or some damn thing. Eventually I get into the BIOS and its blue instead of red, like it always has been. All my options are obliterated - it doesn't even list any hard drives anywhere. Evidently it isn't recognizing either of my hard drives. I go into my motherboard manual and find the section about On-Chip IDE configuration. I don't even remember what the hell these settings were on before I screwed everything up. ATA Configuration was on PATA Only, SATA Keep Enabled was set to No. I don't know why because both of my drives are SATA.
I try setting SATA Keep Enabled to Yes, then reboot. It boots, and I'm finally here back in Windows. My system clock was five years off, but my data is here. It also detected some new Audio Hardware, but i just canceled.
Good god, someone please help me out here. I'm afraid to even shut off my computer or even mess with anything for fear of not even being able to get back into Windows.

OK, I went into the BIOS and put everything back to how it should be. A few things were strange though:
The order of the devices in Standard CMOS Features is different then it used to be. Before, the DVD drive was Primary IDE Master, the CD-RW the Primary IDE Slave, my boot HDD was Third IDE Master and my data HDD Fourth IDE Master. Now, my boot HDD is Primary IDE Master, data HDD is Secondary IDE Master, DVD Drive is Third IDE Master and CD-RW is Third IDE Slave.
Some of the voltages and frequencies were set to strange values. I thought the default AGP voltage was 1.5 and DDR voltage default 2.5. When I went into the BIOS the AGP voltage was 1.7 and the DDR Voltage 2.75. Before this all happened I had them set at 1.6 and 2.8 respectively. I changed them to those values and it booted fine. The 1.7 in particular worried me a little, because I remember reading somewhere that upping AGP voltage too far can do nothing but harm.
Its still a blue screen instead of red. I know this is trivial, but when the color's different, one tends to think that some setting is different, or the version is different, somehow. There isn't any background color setting in the BIOS that I know of.
I know I was overreacting a little, but it was too late at night and all I could think of was how I couldn't access the ten-page research paper that's on my hard drive, due in a couple days.

7.0.2 update messed up my wifi

7.0.2 update messed up my wifi how can I fix this? Or will I have to wait for new update?

Just went through this, last night. It's a pain. I figured it out, by myself, since apple support told me it's not their problem.
First, search your computer for music files. Hopefully, they are still in Media Player.
When search ends, click 'select all' in 'file' dropdown.
In 'edit', select copy to folder.
Then, you have to dig and find the itunes folder. Click that.
It should start showing the files flying from left to right. If it does, you're home free.
The files from media player are in WMA format. They have to be converted to itunes format. itunes should tell you this.
Click 'yes to all'. it will begin converting them and loading them into itunes. If you have alot of GBs, it can take a while. Be patient and watch the progress.
I'm not PC scientist, or network person, but I figured this out, while apple support couldn't. Yay, for me.
My stuff works OK, now. I'll stick around, though, and try to help others with this very frustrating problem with itunes. I really feel bad for all the innocent children (and their poor parents), staring at their new Christmas present that does not work.
Good luck.

Really bad wifi reception after upgrade to 10.6.7

Hey.
to make a long story short - after installing 10.6.0 on a MacBook2,1 (i think "mid-2007") everything's ok - but if i upgrade to 10.6.7 (either with built-in software-update or downloaded combo-update) the WiFi reception is really bad. in numbers -50dBm with 10.6.0 vs. -82dBm runnin 10.6.7 (everything on a clean system and exact the same location in the room) i tried it with two different networks both Linksys WRT54 routers running dd-wrt and openwrt.
i don't know what i can do -.-

I don't know for sure that it will help but it won't hurt to reset the SMC.
Shut down the computer.
Disconnect the MagSafe power adapter from the computer, if it's connected.
Remove the battery.
Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
Release the power button.
Reconnect the battery and MagSafe power adapter.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.

I was not happy with her response then their store manager <Employee name removed for privacy.>. I was talking about phone issue and trying to find out the possible soultion. She was laughing and talking so badly with us. She was not at all supportive. This is worst experiance in my life.

My iPads Internet is really bad

My iPads Internet is really bad everything else in the house is fine and its not that everything else is is hogging the wifi because it has been fine for ages but all of a sudden it's being really bad, does anyone know why?

What is really bad - slow, drops connection, won't connect, short range? You need to provide specifics if you want an answer.
Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Broadband speed has been terrible with really bad ...

Hi, for the past few days i have been receiving a really bad broadband speed, its varies from 0.90Mbps to 5Mbps normally i would be getting around 3.50mbps to 5mbps but lately its been terrible constatly changing. I tested my speed on speedtest.net and was getting a ping of around 100 + and sometimes it will go down to 50 ish. I have contacted BT the other day and they said they would get back to me today but they have not. Also for the past few days my connection has been dropping but since contacting BT that has stopped but im still getting slow download speeds to the point i cant even watch a YouTube video on a low video quality.
What i want to know is why i am getting so slow download speeds and a very unstable connection?
Is there a problem in my area? I have no changed any settings messed around with any cables to make my connection drop.
Thanks for any help.

Can you also post the full results from http://speedtester.bt.com/
Have you tried connecting to the test socket at the rear of the master socket
Have you tried the quiet line test? - dial 17070 option 2 - should hear nothing - best done with a corded phone. if cordless phone you may hear a 'dull hum' which is normal
also you could try the hints given by poster RogerB in this link they may help http://community.bt.com/t5/BB-in-Home/Poor-Broadband-speed/m-p/14217#M8397
Then someone here may be able to help and offer more advice.

Photoshop CC really bad lagging on new rMBP

I resently bought a new Retina MacBook Pro 13" with a nice fast 2,8 i7 proccesor and a big chunk of 16 Gb ram. After using it on my older iMac I was exited to use it on my new MacBook. But its lagging really bad. It makes it unusable for me. I don't work with large files and we mostly use it for small UI design. I use a Bamboo Wacom and use OpenGL is on. when turned of its a lot faster but this results in masive graphic bugs.
Anyone know how to fix this? Because I'm really thinking of switching to Sketch 3 (http://bohemiancoding.com/sketch)

Well, something is up with your system to make it slow.
Do you have any third party plugins? Have you tried disabling them?
Do you have any utilities that would interfere with other applications (antivirus, firewall, etc.)?
And the "graphics bugs" mean that you have a driver problem which will have to be addressed by Apple.

Firefox behaves REALLY badly at random times and I'm worried about it?

So here's what happens. This happens at random times, unexpectedly. I click on a new link, any link, and suddenly, Firefox blares up, automatically turns to private browsing, and goes to a bunch of random websites.
Then, it lands on ''www.xnxx.com'',(<sub>'''edit''', un-linked -J99</sub> ) which I have identified to be a pornography website. After that, it suddenly picks on a random porn video and crashes before the video plays.
This really worries me, because just before this first happened, I had done a quick scan with both Microsoft Security Essentials and Malwarebytes Anti-Malware Pro, and there was absolutely NO problem.
Not only that, I had gone only to trusted websites.
I'm a high school sophomore, so this could turn out REALLY badly for me if someone sees this happening and thinks that I'm TRYING to watch that stuff.
I have already sent a crash report to Firefox and included the website that I crashed in, which is the porn website. I haven't sent any other details, though.
Could I be getting hacked? I don't think so, because this only happens with Firefox; Chrome, Opera, Maxthon, and IE don't have this problem.
I'm running Firefox 15.0.1 in Windows 7 x64 (why the crash report said Windows NT x86, I have no idea).
PLEASE help me fix this!

On looking at your System Details aside I note that you include a Crash ID.
That particular crash is probably related to use of Norton software. You may find that you can use the Norton security software without crashes if you disable the '''Norton Security Safe '''feature (Please confirm - or otherwise - that you are using that ). Note I am not suggesting you turn of the security software, just the utility/toolbar.

App for Windows 8 are really bad

The apps Microsoft made for Skype are really bad.
Any chance for a update so you have some chance of getting to things like call and chat and make it more clear who are online.
Out of a lot of bad apps for windows 8 this take the cake!!

Is there a reason "Elaine" (http://community.skype.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/88058) had to edit/moderate EVERY one of the posts here?
This thread started some time ago, so please correct me if I'm wrong, but it looks like the word "sucks" was replaced with "are really bad" in the last 12 hours.
The only reason I bring this up is because this is censorship and let me tell you Elaine that it is NOT helping Microsoft/Skype's case here!
If something SUCKS it means it IS REALLY BAD. The word "sucks" is VERY well known throughout the english speaking world to mean this. Any moderation on the grounds that the moderation was done "In deference to international sensibilities" is ridiculous! This stinks of corporate censorship!
Rather than censor everyone's comments, how about you (the company) just fix the issues and let us know they are fixed OR if fixing them isn't going to happen in the near future at least let us know that you're working on it!
I have not seen even one official comment by Skype or Microsoft staff regarding this issue! NOT ONE! That implies to me that there is something seriously wrong and its almost definitley not going to be fixed any time soon!
Perhaps after all these years of being a happy customer it is time to start looking at moving away from Skype to another service...

Mail handles .Mac really badly-what's up?

Since I put my .Mac email account into my Mail application, it has worked really badly and I am considering just deleting off the .Mac account and not using it anymore as it is so annoying. Essentially, having the .Mac account in Mail slows everything else (my other email accounts) down to a ridiculous level. When I check "All", and sometimes when I send even one email, the Activity Viewer shows me that Mail is struggling to open .Mac mailboxes and stuff like that, and while it is struggling to do various things with .Mac, including synchronizing, the other email accounts are held up in the queue (ho hum... very boring). To prevent this, I went into the .Mac account and unchecked the "Include when automatically checking for new mail", but this has no effect whatsoever, probably because I usually check for new mail manually anyway.
I have two Macs at present, an older G4 flat panel iMac (1.25 Ghz), and a brand new dual core intel MacBook (2Ghz) and the problem is exactly the same on both Macs. Anyone having similar problems or knows a fix to this? Would love to hear!

There is a setting under the Advanced tab for the
account preferences to not keep all messages and
their attachments available for offline viewing but I
don't use this setting and don't experience the same
problems.
To clarify, do you mean that you "do not" keep all messages (etc.) available for offline viewing, or that you "do" keep all messages (etc.) available? At present, I have this option to "keep all messages and attachments available for off-line viewing" checked positive, by default I presume.
After first creating the account if there
are a number of server stored mailboxes and messages
available on the server, the mailbox and message
synchronization process takes longer than normal and
the time it takes for subsequent synchronization
should not be a real long process unless a number of
changes have been make with server stored mailboxes.
Odd thing is that I only have one saved message in the .Mac account, and that is a tiny weeny one (about 10K) with no attachments or anything! By the way, since I have just been going through everything all over again, I notice that what really seems to be holding things up (I've now changed synchronization to "manual" on both computers) is when I "Get Mail" and Mail is trying to open the .Mac mailbox - this goes on interminably (as I can see in Activity Viewer).
Try using the Rebuild Mailbox function on all server
stored mailboxes. All messages will disappear
temporarily and the mailbox will be resynchronized
with the server.
Sorry for being dense, but I've been all over my Mail application and all over my .Mac settings and I can't find this "Rebuild Mailbox" function. Could you please tell me exactly where I can find this Rebuild Mailbox function?

Video quality in scope is really bad and dark

When I send my sequence from Final Cut Pro to Color, why does the video in the scope area come out so bad where I can barely see anything? Basically the video is nothing like the quality in final cut pro and the picture is very very dark.
When I see the tutorials online of the videos being sent to color from final cut, the quality is exactly the same and they don't do any adjustment.
Can someone please help me fix this? I work with AVCHD. Thanks!

Thanks George.
Now the quality is not "really" bad anymore, it is bad. ;-)
The quality got better, but still there is a difference between drawing shapes and cell borders. And the difference is causing problems with customers, who are demanding professional quality.
Here is a .jpg of the original Excel table. The drawing shape is the outer one, the cell borders are the lines beneath the data. Both line types are very delicat. This is how it should be.
And this is how it looks after a pdf-print with setting "high quality print" (2400 dpi).
The outer drawing shape is ok. The thin horizontal lines are twice as thick than before.
I know, it is about details. But those details make the difference between a professional and an amateur performance.
Do you have another idea, how to improve the pdf quality?
Thanks for your help so far, I appreciate it.

Screen flickering really bad after unplugging external monitor

Hello,
Since I updated my Macbook Pro 13' Retina (inch, Early 2013) to Mavericks, almost averytime I unplug my external monitor or TV, the screen starts flickering really bad. This is the screenshot of the issue. Sometimes you can see all the apps opens, but the "flicker" effect takes over the screen, making it impossible to user the computer. The only way I found to use the compuer again is restarting it. It's really weird.

Howdy inireugg,
We've an article that provides a host of helpful information and tips for resolving issues with displays.
No video or no signal, image distortion, "snow," or flickering
Check connections
When using an external display be sure to check the following:
If you're using an Apple notebook, confirm the AC power cable or adapter is securely connected to the computer and the cable providing power to the display is also secure. It is always good to have your notebook connected to AC power when an external display is in use.
Confirm display adapters are fully seated in their respective connections and that they are supported models and for the computer and display. Refer to these articles to assist you with adapter compatibility and further configuration information:
Monitor and Display Adapter Table
About Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapters
Apple Mini DisplayPort adapters: Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
Thunderbolt ports and displays: Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
Remove all display cable extenders, KVM switches, or other like devices and retest to determine if the issue is resolved.
Try unplugging the video adapter or cable and then plug it back in.
If more than one video adapter is in use (or "daisy-chained"), troubleshoot by using only one adapter.
Example: A mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter connected to a DVI to HDMI adapter is an unsupported configuration because there is a series of adapters in use.
If available, try using a different display and or adapter (or use a different connector by using DVI instead of VGA, for instance).
Reset the systemYou can reset the Mac's parameter RAM and SMC.Reset the resolutionStart by resetting the Mac's parameter RAM. If the display does not come up, was previously set to an unsupported resolution, and still results in no video:
Start up in Safe Mode.
From the Apple () menu, choose System Preferences.
Choose Displays from the View menu to open the preferences pane.
Select any resolution and refresh rate that your display supports.
Restart your computer.

ITunes 11 sounds really bad any fix?

I noticed that the new iTunes sounds really bad compared to other players like VLC or Quicktime any idea how to fix this.
I tried to adjust the equalizer and the sound enhancer and no luck, it is definitely not the speakers because the same song sound great with VLC or Quicktime, all I try to download is high bitrate songs like 320 kbps.
Appreciate any help!

Hi Doug,
Not at the moment unfortunately. Apple did use the glass effect shelf dock on the side in the development versions of Leopard, but took it out and only used it on the bottom in the final release because of a few problems with the reflection and stack effects. I'd bet that within a few months they'll be rolling an update out which will give you this option if you really want.
