Adhoc wifi does not work on playbook but works on ipad

I bought several playbooks for my employees to use with our company phone which have adhoc wifi
the playbooks do not connect. My one employee said she could hook up her personal ipad to the adhoc.
Please tell me they are working on fixing this problem.
If I have to change all my cell phone plans to data plans it will cost quite a bit over the years.
In fact it would be cheaper to buy all new ipads. I would break even within two years.
The reason I bought the playbooks was because of the size and value.
But the value just decreased because of the adhoc inabilities.
I understand there is a security issue but that should be the consumers choice to make.

Just a comment about your remarks especially the last sentence.
As a Business Person, don't you feel you should use a secure system if you are handling consumers personal information such as passwords, account numbers etc. Are not hackers costing all of us plenty in the long run?

Macbook Pro does not see Fast Ethernet but works fine with Gigabit Ethernet

Hi to everybody,
It is some time I have a problem connecting my unibody Macbook Pro (late 2008) to the ethernet cables in my office. There are 16 wall jacks in the lab, of which 13 are Fast Ethernet (100 Mbit/s) and 3 are Gigabit Ethernet. No matter what I do, if I connect to the 100 Mbit/s jacks, my Macbook does not see the connection and keeps saying "Cable unplugged". If I switch to a Gigabit jack, then a connection is quickly established.
I have spent one whole afternoon debugging. Here is what I did:
My computer dual boots Mac OS X and Linux. No matter which operating system I use, the problem is the same.
Using different Cat.5 cables does not change the situation (I tried three of them.)
All the 13 Fast Ethernet jacks do not work.
All the 3 Gigabit jacks work smoothly.
What puzzles me is that my computer happly uses the newest technology (Gigabit ethernet) but has problems with the oldest one. Has somebody else experienced the same problem?

After a lot of struggle, I discovered that other people had this very issue as well. It seems that the cause is a faulty Realtek chip used in the ethernet cards of some MacBooks and other brands. There is apparently no way to fix this: I solved my problems by buying a Gigabit Ethernet switch which I connected to the Fast Ethernet wall jack. (Another option might be to use a Ethernet-to-USB adapter - but I did not try this as I have no adapter of this kind.)

E6 Social - does not accept my Email BUT works wit...

Hi guys,
I am a bit frustrated and also confused now. Normally I get through this kind of trouble shooting myself, but this is beyond me.
I have been trying for ages now to log in to my Facebook account using Nokia Social on my E6 (love the phone btw). No success at all. I always get the same message:
Incorrect User ID or password. Try again. Tip: password is case sensitive.
Now, I asked my girl-friend to use her account settings and lo and behold, it worked first time.
I have updated Nokia Social to latest version available (1.3.237) on Nokia Store. I have changed my facebook password to have no number (just in case). No luck.
The only difference between my girl-friends FB accounts is that she uses a gmail.com email address and mine is a gmx.de (have used different email address previously with same result).
I hope someone can explain this to me. I use the same login information on m.facebook.com and touch.facebook.com with no problems at all.
Cheers,
reims

Hello,
The problem isn't really the Password, but the default Servers if you choose MobileMe for account type.
You cannot use .mac or MobileMe as type of Account, you have to choose IMAP when setting up, otherwise Mail is hard coded to change imap.mail.me.com to mail.me.com & smtp.mail.me.com to smtp.me.com, no matter what you try to enter.
iCloud Mail setup, do not choose .mac or MobileMe as type, but choose IMAP...
On second step where it asks "Description", it has to be a unique name, but you can still use your email address.
IMAP (Incoming Mail Server) information:
• Server name: imap.mail.me.com
• SSL Required: Yes
• Port: 993
• Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
• Password: Your iCloud password
SMTP (outgoing mail server) information:
• Server name: smtp.mail.me.com
• SSL Required: Yes
• Port: 587
• SMTP Authentication Required: Yes
• Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
• Password: Your iCloud password
Also, you must upgrade your password to meet the new criteria: 8 characters, including upper and lower case and numbers. If you have an older password that does not meet these criteria, when you try to setup mail on your mac, using all of the IMAP criteria listed above, it will still give a server error message. Go to http://appleid.apple.com then follow directions to change your password, then go back to setting up your mail using the IMAP instructions above.

App Store does not recognize my id, but works

I have my MacBook Pro 15 (2013), iPad, iPad mini, and an iPhone 4. For some reason I could not menage to sinc iPhone reminders with MacBook. Just downloaded tweeter on my iPhone and got the message saying that somebody used my id from unauthorised device. The funny thing is my phone has same credit card information that other devices, and shows that I am signed in with the same id. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Your advice did not help me. I also installed 10.7.4 combo but the situation is the same.
my internet connection is ok, mail is ok, but app store after 3 resets does not recognize my ID and it says "connection is not possible". Why? I have the same problem in both my mac mini late 2009 and mac book air 2010? Is it a problem of 10.7.4 update? I have to solve this problem and how can i return to 10.7.3 if my last backup was not with 10.7.3???thank you for your kind collaboration...

Wifi Does Not detect my network but does others

Hi there,
I managed to get great responses last time I had an issue and now I'm back.
Here's the issue and I will also say what I've tried so far to fix it.
ISSUE
On-and-off my laptop cannot detect (and hence join) my own Wi-Fi network, even when right next to the router. My neighbours' networks are all visible.
This issue is not consistent and is sporadic.
It is not a hardware issue - I'm currently (reluctantly) logged into my Windows partition and am happily using my Wi-Fi connection through that.
It's not a router issue as
a) It's a new router
b) I can connect through Windows (as can my wife on her netbook)
c) My iPod Touch connects no problem.
My network is not a hidden network, it is fully visible. It is, of course, a secured network and no-one but me knows the password to the admin panel of the network.
_WHAT I'VE TRIED_
a) Restarting the computer doesn't fix it
b) Removing the connection settings from 'Networks' and restarting it doesn't fix it
c) Deleting the system preferences list from Library|SystemConfig|Preferences doesn't fit it.
d) Turning the router off for a while and then back on doesn't fix it.
e) I've just done a DiskWarrior check and that didn't fix it.
I have also done a complete reinstall of Leopard and then restored my files etc from my external hard drive (configured to use Time Machine).
I don't know whether I've covered everything, but it's certainly a start.
A couple of weird things - sometimes leaving it overnight means it re-finds my network - but no explanations. And the fact that this issue is inconsistent.
Please help, as I really am getting tired of it (I've tried working around it for a couple of weeks now) and am out of ideas.
Many thanks in advance,
Martin

Hi Martin,
It sounds to me like an IP address problem.
Under "Applications" go to "System preferences", then under "Internet & Network" select "Network" Select the kind of network you want to connect to, go to advanced under "TCP/IP" It should say "Using DHCP"
Write down the IP address.
Try renewing the DHCP lease. Then try connecting to the network.
If that doesn't work, find a computer that can connect to the internet and check the IP address of that computer the first three sets of numbers should match the IP address you wrote down, if they don't normally I would have to tell you to go through terminal and find an unused IP address to select, but considering you probably are never going to access the network through both parts of the partition at the same time, you can safely use the IP address that Windows has. How to get that IP Address I can't really help you with though...
Once you pull the IP address that the windows side is using go back to the advanced settings page and select "use DHCP with manual IP address" in the space for IP address enter said IP address, and click apply. And hopefully you will be having a grand ol' time on the web.

ITunes does not respond when opening, but works in safe mode

Hey there
So over the last two days or so, my ITunes (Latest version 11.1.4.) on MacBook Pro opens fine but then as soon as I click whatever, it gets stuck on the spinning wheel. I have now read that you can open it in Safe Mode by shift-option-command and click on iTunes on the desktop, which works fine, but is not the ultimate solution.
Would you please have any suggestions as to what I can do to fix this?
Thank you very much already!
Kristin

(It may be reacting badly with the new iTunes version, even though it's been okay with earlier ones.)
b noir, just to confirm - the "Quartz Composer Visualizer.bundle" is working very well on my Mavericks MBP with 11.1.4. Only the Music Visualizers bundles, that need iTunes to run 32bit mode, will no longer run in iTunes 11.1.4., e.g. the iVisualize bundle and the visualizers "Be Composed", etc.
Perhaps is something in the iTunes Visualizer folder, that uses quartz filters requiring advanced features of the graphics card, and therefore disabled in Safe Mode.

I already have latest adobe reader.

Workflow process does not complete for 3500 but works for about 10 records

Hi Gurus,
I am a novice in workflow. Pls bear if the questions are very basic.
We have a old custom workflow process which is inistaed by a PL/SQL procedure
WF_ENGINE.CreateProcess ---
WF_ENGINE.StartProcess ---
COMMIT; ---
Now this process has run for over 6-7 years but has always processed max upto 8 or 10 records at a time. Now we had about 4000 records in a table and the process was running for more than 4 days now and it has been termiinated.
I could not see any new item_keys. Is it because we have a commit only at the end.
This process has 3 sub processes. they are connected by 'AND' and then we have an 'End' node.
The first sub-process is simple and we can see a record in wf_items .
Howver no records are there in wf_items for the 2nd and 3rd sub processes.
How can we check the point where it has hanged. Querying Status monitor just gives the first sub-process that has completed. How to debug for these cases.
This has always worked for small volumes. Now we have about 4000 records and we face this problem
The process actually checks data from the table and based on some conditions , it send 5 different notifications to 5 different mail groups. So we expect about 4000*5 mails to be sent.
Any help is welcome.
Thanks,
L

L,
Please check the following:
1. Since this is pure PLSQL you can have a SQL script where you enable a database event to get a trace and then run tkprof on the output to spot any performance problem. You can use something like:
alter session set tracefile_identifier='Background' max_dump_file_size='unlimited' events '10046 trace name context forever, level 12';
begin
wf_engine.CreateProcess(...);
wf_engine.StartProcess(...);
end;
commit;
alter session set events '10046 trace name context off';
select fnd_debug_util.get_trace_file_name() tracefile from dual;
2. Do you happen to know if WF runtime tables are being purged regularly? If this is not done you can expect serious performance problems. If this is WF Apps embedded you need to clean data using the concurrent request Purge Obsolete Workflow runtime data, if not then you can use the APIs in package WF_PURGE.
3. You will only find one record in WF_ITEMS for this process if those sub-processes belong to the same item type
4. About the notifications, make sure you are not running into this design problem: https://blogs.oracle.com/oracleworkflow/entry/looping_within_a_workflow_process

Wifi does not work correctly on iPad Mini w/ Retina display

I've found that Wifi does not work properly on the iPad mini w/ Retina display.
Some background: I own three iPads (iPad mini w/ retina display, iPad mini, and iPad 3rd gen), an iPod touch 5th gen, and a Macbook Air, and use them all frequently with my pocket Wifi router.
None of them exhibit any Wifi problems whatsoever except for my iPad mini w/ retina display.
Here are the details:
In the middle of using Wifi with my pocket Wifi router, the Wifi connection will abrubptly drop, then reconnect. After the Wifi reconnects, it is no longer able to connect to the internet (even though Wifi itself is connected).
Once the iPad mini w/ retina display's Wifi gets into this state, the following may or may not restore WiFi temporarily:
Restart the device
Reset network settings
Yet, even if connectevitiy is restored, the problem will happen again within minutes.
When the iPad mini w/ retina display gets into this state, the Wifi on my iPod touch, other iPads, and on my Macbook Air work perfectly fine, so I know the problem is not with my Wifi device or it's connection, but specifically with the iPad mini w/ retina display
Note:
The iPad mini w/ retina display never has any issues with my home or work Wifi networks. The problem only happens when connected to my pocket Wifi device. Yet, all of my other iOS devices and my MacBook Air work perfectly with my pocket Wifi device, therefore I know the problem is not with the pocket Wifi device, but with the iPad mini with retina display.
Solutions:
Resetting the iPad mini w/ retina display to factory settings does not solve the problem
Resetting network settings on the iPad mini w/ retina display does not solve the problem
I have even replaced my original iPad mini w/ retina and got a new one. Yet, the new device exhibits the exact same behavior as the original device.
Conclusion:
I know this is not a hardware problem (since it happened with both my original as well as replacement device).
I know this is not a problem with my pocket WiFi router, since it works perfectly with all of my other iOS devices and MacBook Air.
Therefore, this must be a software / firmware bug with the iPad mini w/ retina display. Apple will need to fix this in a future software update.
Has anyone else seen this problem?

I too have experienced this issue over the past two days... I have a 16gb ipad mini retina, for reference. I bought the device one week ago, and had not experience any issues at all until bringing my device to work. I logged into my work's enterprise level wireless network both yesterday and today, maintained normal wifi capabilities for 2-4 hours each day, and was then randomly dropped, both days. I tried hard resets, resetting my network settings, airplane mode, etc. Nothing has worked. I am still offline on my ipad mini retina.
My iPhone 5 is sitting right next to my iPad mini retina. The iPhone is currently connected to the same very network, and has been for the past two years. I have never lost connection on my iPhone's wifi, just my iPad mini retina.
This must be some kind of bug, as it does not sound like a hardware nor network issue.
Hopefully they fix this in 7.1.

HT4628 The Wifi does not work when Macbook Air is started by Win8. How to let the Wifi work in Win8 ?

Hi all,
WIFI of Macbook Air works when the notebook started with OS X.
But when I restart the Macbook Air with Win8, the Wifi does not work.
The Macbook Air was bought last month. It is new model. The wifi may be a/c.
Thanks,

Mavericks static ip doesn't on wifi does not work

MBA 2011
MAC OS 10.9.4
Wifi does not work with a static IP address.
My wifi access point does not have DHCP enabled, and there is no DHCP server on my network. The internet connection is NOT coming my wifi router.
Every machine on the network has a static ip address and manually configured DNS and GATEWAY to my correct gateway IP. This currently is working on this machine (windows 7), my ipad 2, my xperia phone, my windows xp box, my vista box, and even a virtual pc running windows server which is on my mac.
But the mac won't connect to the internet, or ping anything including the gateway ip address or any other machine on the ip address.
how can i get this mac to have a static ip address without having dhcp

Going to System Preferences -> Network, and selecting Wi-Fi in the left pane.... Questions:
. does the Status in the right pane show connected?
. if so, does the Network Name: reflect the name of the network you assume it should be connected to?
. if so, clicking on the Advanced... button and choosing the TCP/IP tab:
    . is the Configure IPv4 pulldown set to Manuallyh?
    . if so, have you entered in a valid router value (to mirror what you have set on the other working devices), and an IP address which you know is not already in use on the network?
    . if so, when you Ok out of this sheet panel, if you run /Applications/Utilities/Terminal and in that window type "ifconfig" can you find a configured network device with the address information you've entered (likely either en0 or en1)?
If all as anticipated by here:
. what message do you see in the terminal window when you do a ping to the access point's address?
. are you super-sure that address isn't already in use on the network (e.g on a device already on the network successfully and with your MBA's wifi turned off, try pinging the thought-to-be-free address to see if something answers back).

Lenovo S8-50LC Wlan(WiFi) Does not work when use Sim Cart(3G)

Hi
Tablet Lenovo S8-50LC
Wlan(WiFi) Does not work when use Sim Cart(3G).
What is the solution for this problem?
Build Number : TABS8-50LC_S000200_150121_ROW
SoftWarw Version : TABS8-50LC_150121

Right, but if you have the SIM in the tablet and you put the tablet in airplane mode, does wifi work then? If so, it may be a bad SIM. Do you have another SIM you can try?
