Always have to "Set Network Location" after connec...

I've got a Nokia 6650 phone and use Nokia Ovi Suite 2.2.1.23 to connect to the internet on my laptop running Vista. In Ovi Suite, after I connect another dialog always pops up saying, "Set Network Location" and I'm supposed to choose "Home", "Public", or something else.
Is there anyway to stop that "Set Network Location" dialog from popping up? Like, can I just set a default so it uses the same "Network Location" every time or something?
That dialog is just annoying.
As a 2nd, different thing, it seems like Vista "counts" how many times I've used a certain connection, and uses the count number in the name. Like when I connect via my Nokia phone, the name of the connection will be something like, "Nokia Connection 25". Where 25 is the count number. Something similar happens with my wireless network at home. The wireless network SSID at home is "Levander". And, all my other computers (none of which are running Vista - there's some XP, Windows 7, and Linux stuff) just say they're connected to "Levander". But, this Vista laptop right now says it's connected to "Levander 2". It's possible that's just annoying because I don't know what that count number is there for. Anybody know what it is? Know how to get rid of it?
Thanks.

You should select Public as you have a direct connection to the internet - as offered, and check the box not to be asked again - I have the same set-up and it worked for me, after wrongly selecting home a number of times.

Set network location tethering

Since I have upgraded to iOS 5, now everytime I tether my iPhone I get the 'set network location' dialog on my win7 laptop. With the new iOS win7 does not appear to 'remember' my iphone as a network location.
I am quite certain this is new with iOS 5 since I am a frequent tethering user and I have seen this same issue on a couple forums as I search around.
Anyone have a solution? Is this a know issue with iOS 5 that we might see fixed in update soon?
Thanks

Update:
Over in this other thread in this forum:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3467729?start=15&tstart=0
I have found out a fair amount of information about why this is happening. I also have just posted a sort-of workaround for this. The workaround does resolve the problem, but introduces a very unpleasant side effect that's worse (in my opinion) that the original problem, so it isn't a good solution.
If you are following this thread, you might wish to go over to the other thread though (above) to read what I learned about this and decide for yourself if you want to try the workaround.
Thanks.

Nokia N95 8gb always have to set date and time whe...

When I turn my Nokia N95 8GB on I always have to set the time and date, even when i've not removed the battery. I turn my phone off at night and in the morning when I turn it back on I have to set the time and date again and again and again, every single time I turn it back on. Does anybody know what's going on?

Have recently acquired an additional black MacBook, and installed Snow Leopard onto it. Trying to get it to connect via a plug-in USB wifi unit (poor reception on Airport) I have an extra Network Location which does not work. How can I remove it?

Need to get a second hand black MacBook connected. Poor reception on Airport so tried a plug in wifi aerial. That didn't work, but now have a Network Location I can't get rid of. How do I remove it ?

Hello my ginger,
I tried what you suggested - but to no success. The problem came up when I was re-entering the new settings. If I left it as using DHCP it would run for a few seconds with no IP address, then drop in a 169.254 one which would not connect through. To overcome this I tried using the 'Using DHCP with manual address' option and entered in an address which it had set up from the clone boot. This appeared to be okay. When I then tried renewing DHCP lease sometimes that address held. When I tried connecting though - no sight of the internet, and the exclamation mark was across the wifi icon in the menu bar. If I switched it to Using DHCP it would randomly fall back to the 169.254 address.
The only significant differences I could see when cross checking all the settings info was in the WINS panel the NetBIOS had a slightly different configuration of the name - but as they ended in the same numbers I assumed they were the same. And, when looking under Keychain Access, in the System section list (it also appeared in the login section) additional info box they had different locations - 28 characters in four groups. I don't have a clue what this refers to. Also the allow access list in the boot clone included System Preferences, but did not in the Snow Leopard boot, so I added it in. With no success.
I am so frustrated I am thinking of giving up. I seen have loads of postings on the net about a variety of problems with wifi connection on Snow Leopard. I have version 10.6.3. Did it get any better in later Snow Leopard ? Or in any of the OS s after that ? It was always so easy and so solid under Leopard - why the h**l did they change it ?

Losing network locations after waking

I have a MacBook pro 2.2 ghz and have an issue when it wakes from sleep mode. I have a Linksys wrt54g wireless router connected to my home XP machine and the notebook connects to the router fine for internet and for sharing files with the XP machine(noted as MSHOME under network locations on the mac).
Sometimes when the notebook wakes from sleep it fails to detect MSHOME under Network, yet the PC can still see and access files on the Notebook. Internet access from the router is never affected. Anyone have any ideas why this is hapening or how I can correct it?
MacBook Pro 2.2 ghz Mac OS X (10.4.10)

I have "join preferred networks" selected, and mine os the only one on the list, and it still does not connect after waking from sleep. It is WEP security, not WPA2. I checked out the following article, but it was of no help:

HT204135 My printer always defaults to "Scale = 150%" and prints oversized. I always have to set the scale back to "100%". Is there any way to change this default setting?

Hi
My osX Lion loaded iMac always prints with a default "scale" of "150%" and consequently won't print anything on a single page. I always have to go into "Printer Settings" and change it to "100%" to print properly. Is there any way to set this up to default at "100%"?
Thanks!

Hi, just a note that might help. I notice in baltwo's screen shot of the print dialog, that the Preset titled "Plain paper, best" is selected.
anderdan33316, if you have selected a preset, and that preset was created with the "Scale" set to "150%". I suspect your issue is related to this.
for a possible solution,
1. in Safari, open the Print dialog (by cmd-p, or choosing "Print..." from the File menu, either way works).
2. in the dialog, manually set the Scale to 100%
3. in the "Presets:" pull-down menu, select "Save Current Settings as Preset..."
4. enter a label that is meaningful to you, such as "Standard", "Basic", "Default" - it can be modified later
5. print that page from that dialog, and the customized Preset will be one of your choices until you decide to delete it.
hope this helps,
Roy

My wife and I have separate AppleID accounts and always have. For some reason after she bought the iPhone 5c, whenever she tries to update her apps, it comes up for my AppleID and asks for my password. Please help on how to fix this!

My wife and I have separate AppleID accounts. Ever since she updated to the iPhone 5c, for some reason when she tries to update her apps, it comes up with my AppleID and asks for my password. I cannot figure out why this happening and how to fix this. Please help!

I have had this issue lately.
I can only put it down to using the one computer to update all our IPads for me and my wife.
Some of our apps, although downloaded from both our seperate accounts on our IPads, are the same.
However after plugging her IPad into the computer when my AppleID is on ITunes, I think something strange has happened and when she then tries to update Apps on her IPad and I try on mine it now asks for the others Apple ID password.
The only way I have found to counteract this is to update an app one at a time, if that app asks for your wifes password then delete it and then reinstall it.
That has solved it for me.
Hope this helps

After upgrading to any version after 11.0.06 we are experiencing grey screen / empty window with opening .PDF's from network locations.

While using Onbase, we have a custom app that will call an attached .pdf ( from a network share) and open it within a separate IE window/ process, since upgrading beyond 11.0.06 ( 11.0.07, 11.0.08 and 11.0.09) we have are starting to experience grey screens and 103:103errors after letting the window sit for <2:00 minutes. We have tested all version of reader beyond 11.0.06 and have experienced the same results. We have added the network location to the whitelist and have it listed as a trusted location. We have also tested in IE 8 and 10 with all current cumulative Microsoft patches for IE, and still no luck. If we put 11.0.06 back on the machine the issue is no longer present.
Has anyone else experienced this issue or have any suggestions to correct this issue in the current 11.0.09 version?

Please try following steps:
1. Open Reader.
2. Go to Edit -> Preferences.
3. Select category - Enhanced (Security)
4, Uncheck "Enable Protected Mode at Start up" option.

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?

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.

Set Network Connection

I'm running Windows 7 and Ovi Suite 3.1.1.90
Every time I connect I get another request to Set Network Location.
Any way I can get rid of this??

When I've had connection problems with Ovi/Nokia suite I've had to uninstall everything relating to Nokia - Connectivity cable driver, PC Connectivity solution & then finally the Ovi/Nokia suite, restart the computer then remove Nokia folders under programmes & programmes>common files then reinstall the suite. Doing this seems to solve things for me when the phone won't connect properly.
Hope it works for you,
Many thanks, I will try this, also in the mean time I see 3.2 has been launched, so is an ideal time to remove the 3.2 beta installation and finally move forward.
I might have to wait a while to download 3.2 though!!
If this does solve the problem I will indeed make your post the solution.
Many thanks.

Apple TV. setting network time

MMy school's wifi network demands that I log in before using, and Apple TV tries to set network time before I log in. How can I set network time after I log in to the network. I don't seem to see a menu item for this.

Apple TV cannot set the network time + date

How to set/change location of DBF files?

Hi,
I would like to connect programatically my report to DBF file and it is needed to specify location of dbf files. Is possible to handle with it? (Crystal Reports 2008 SP3 Full version, VS 2008)
Tomas

You will have to set the location for each table. I believe something along these lines:
Dim myreport As New CrystalReport1
' Set the 'Location' property for each table in your database.
myreport.Database.Tables(0).Location = "C:\mydb\table1.dbf"
myreport.Database.Tables(1).Location = "C:\mydb\table2.dbf"

HT2712 Is it possible to set up network locations in such a way that other preferences also get set? Specifically, I usually have my Software Updates set to download in the background, but when I am using my iPhone's Personal Hotspot I'd like to disable

Or indeed is some other way possible, such as using an Applescript to detect when I am using my personal hotspot on my (limited data package!) 3g iPhone (via wi-fi or USB etc) and then switch off the automatic downloads until I revert back to my regular connection?
Apologies -seem to have posted this in the worng forum.

Make a New Location, Using network locations in Mac OS X ...

But Software Update won't be an available setting choice.
But I'd turn off automatic Updates anyway, & just check once a week or once a month to see what's available.

Thanks for the quick response. No, I did not get any error messages or any terms-of-usage screen. The employee I told my problem to was not computer savvy either. She just suggested I move to different spots w/in the library to see if that would make a difference. It didn't. When I connected to the library WiFi it did change the Verizon 3G that is usually in the upper left corner to iPad with two to three emanating arcs. I may have to go to the library in the next town. I was able to connect to theirs in the past when I had to download something greater than 20 MB. Unless I really want it, I will probably not even try to download something more than 20 MB due to the hassle. Yeah, I may have been better off getting a normal desktop or laptop and getting WiFi at home. To do that now would mean having my iPad 2 and a desktop computer, which I feel is extravagant. (I know there are a lot of big spenders out there who got the iPad as additional gadget for fun. This is a rich country.) A Verizon rep told me I couldn't set up a WiFi router at home just using an iPad. So it seems like a person who just uses 3G is limited to surfing the net (not even much YouTube because it eats a lot of data) and using email. I read about an app that helps print wirelessly using 3G, but a reviewer said you had to be an engineer to get it done right. BTW, I like the Steelers. I'm old enough to remember Franco Harris and that blond guy whose name escapes me back in the '70s. Since I live in North Jersey I feel I have to support the Giants. But I know football about as well as computers.

I want to set up my time capsule on a completely new network & location without losing the old backups. How do I do this?

I want to set up my time capsule on a completely new network & location without losing the old backups. How do I do this? I cannot find anything in the user manual.

The TC is very hard to just move.. it retains too much of the old network setup.. buried deep in the bowels of the firmware configuration files.. or even on the hard disk special partitions used by the TC.. invisible to you btw.. !!
Do a factory reset and setup from scratch.
That factory reset will have no affect on your backups.. even if you rename the TC.. not a bad things since you also want clients to respond to the new network.. simply reset TM to the new TC name and location.
See A4 here.
http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
Factory reset.
The Factory Reset Gen1-4.
Unplug your TC. Hold in reset. and power the TC back on.. without releasing reset for about 10sec. When the status light flashes rapidly; release it.
Be Gentle! Feel the switch click on. It has a positive feel.. add no more pressure after that.
TC will reboot after a couple of minutes with default factory settings and will wipe out previous configurations.
No files are deleted on the hard disk.. No reset of the TC deletes files.. to do that you use erase from the airport utility.
Factory reset Gen 5
Hold in reset for about 5sec until the status light flashes quickly.
If your AirPort Time Capsule still doesn’t respond, do a similar reset to the Gen1-4.
Unplug your AirPort Time Capsule .. hold in reset and power the TC back on.. without releasing the reset.. wait until status led flashes rapidly.
