Apple and Xfinity not getting along - help

I have a MacBook Pro, I pad and Iphone. I have been using my Macbook pro wirelessly at home for a long time and all of a sudden none of my Mac products will connect to my Xfinity wireless network. All of our other non Mac laptops and printers are connecting to the Xfinity network just fine. I use to automatically connect when I turned my Mac on but now it doesn't and if I try to join it times out immediately. My Mac still connects at work just fine (I haul it back and forth). How do I fix this so my Apple products - specifically my MacBook can connect with my home wireless system?

Determine first if the Macs can even get a hint of the wireless network with a program such as iStumbler. Find someplace with a working internet connection to download iStumbler and copy it to a USB stick:
http://istumbler.net
This will at least let you know if your Mac can even see the network. If it can't it may be the hardware is losing its signal. Note there is a range within a WiFi access point where overlapping waves are too strong and cancel each other out too closed to the access point. The best range is between 5 feet and 150 feet direct line of sight. File cabinets and piping can interfere with this.

Tomcat 3.2.1 and Win98 not getting along...

I have gone through almost every post on this problem and tried every suggestion, I also followed the directions on the Core Servlets and jsp's book web-site which seemed to be right and I still get this error which occurs when a new window pops up after running startup.batch

pretty strange huh? Can someone help me please??

Well, nobody else seemed able to help me, but after going through hundreds of forum posts with similar problems I found the issue. I had put servlet.jar and jsp.jar in my jdk1.3.1\jre\lib\ext because someone else had offered that as a solution to servlets not compiling properly. Appartently this messes with the localstring bundles. So, if you are having this problem with an application, here is your solution. Don't put stuff in your ext directory. Peace

New hard drive and itunes not getting along

I purchases a new external hard drive for my i mac dv 400. the hard drive was getting too full. I need to put itunes on the new hard drive but during install it tells me that i tunes needs to be in the start up volume. what does this mean? is it still possible to get the bulk of itunes on the new drive. or am I stuck again

Hopefully someone there can help me with this problem which is related to backing up using external hard drives and two MACs. I back up using my Laptop and G5 by periodically copying the most up to date Itunes library to the other one. I use the external hard drive to copy them back and forth while at the same time, having a 3rd copy. However, everytime I do this, when I go to play a "purchased" song from my purchased songs in the library, I get the message that this is the 2nd and then 3rd and the 4th....computer I am downloading to and I only have 5 allowable downloads. Evidently, Itunes is not recognizing that this is a same computer that I have been using as a back up. Hopefully this problem is clear to those of you reading this. Any suggestions?
Thanks,

E4200 and powerline not getting along

Just got a e4200, very happy. However I also have a cisco av power line adapter which worked fine. However when connecting to the 4200 it doesn't recognize the Internet. Have rebooted, reset switched ports etc. But it still doesn't work. It sees the network but not the Internet. Have tried everything ikon but no luck. Any ideas for router settings? Any suggestions at all. Cannot connect my directive to the Internet. If I can't get it to work will have to run a 50 foot cable.
Thanks in advance to all.

Hi afdmed3!

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You might try a forced shutdown to begin with, hold down the top and home buttons together until the device shuts down, then restart it.

Hi there,
Firstly, try a hard reset. Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until the Apple logo appears.
If this doesn't work, try restoring your device. Put it in recovery mode if iTunes doesn't recognise it, and restore it from there. I have linked to instructions below.

Let me know if this helps,

Is your MacBook Pro early 2011 or newer. If not that is whay you cannot mirror and a third party app called airparrot would help.

TS1398 bought a mini and also have an IPAD2 have used ITunes to download all programs to the mini but have NOT BEEN ABLE TO have the connection to the Internet and CAN NOT get any emails. I NEED HELP!!!!!!!

I thought when I bought a MINI that all I'd need to do is sync up with ITunes to get all apps and setting to the Mini. I was wrong as I can not connnect to the internet and can not get any emails. Have tried just about all suggestions under support but need to reach out to actual users who may have run into similar prblem. I must be missing something as I have to believe that Apple would make it as simple/easy as possible to connect to the interne. I still have my internet connect with my Ipad2.
appreciate any help on this one as MY WIFE is driving me crazy as she wants to use the internet with HER MINI!!!
Thx Wayne

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

TS1292 can not redeem itunes card , have tried to get help like 6 times nothing suggested via trouble shooting page has helped and can not get a person to help

I can not get itunes card to work says inactive. have followed all trouble shooting and can not get through to support via email or phone

If the card hasn't been activated properly then have you tried taking it back to the store that you bought it from and asking them to activate it properly ?
How have you tried to contact iTunes Support ? You should be able to do so via this page (you will probably need to give them images of the front and back of the card, and possibly its receipt) : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then iTunes Cards And Codes. If that page doesn't load then have you tried clearing your browser's cache/history and/or tried a different browser ?

Having trouble changing master password as i have forgotten it and can not get it to reset please help

I have tried to remember what the first pass word was and can not get it done. i can not send out emails on both of my email accounts [email protected] or [email protected] as both request password. when i have tried to reset master password it will not except any thing that i am doing. i need to send out emails for my work and having trouble doing the change. Please help

The master password protects saved passwords in Thunderbird and has nothing to do with connecting to your providers server. You need to work with your email provider if you have forgotten your email password. Go to their email help site and look for a link to reset your password.
If you are truly working with a forgotten master password this article tells you how to remove it.

For a forgotten password: go to http://iforgot.apple.com and sign in with your iCloud login. A new password will be sent to your associated email address. If this doesn't work you will have to contact Support. Go to https://getsupport.apple.com; click' See all products and services', then 'More Products and Services, then 'Apple ID', then 'Other Apple ID Topics' then 'Lost or forgotten Apple ID password'.
For forgotten security questions log in at http://appleid.apple.com and click 'Password and Security' in the sidebar. There should be a link in the Security Questions section to send the answers to an email you have specified. Failing this, go to https://getsupport.apple.com click 'See all products and services', then 'More Products and Services, then 'Apple ID', then 'Other Apple ID Topics' then 'Forgotten Apple ID security questions'.

I recently purchased a MacBook Air and was told by Apple that Keynote and Pages were compatible with MS Applications.. I have since tried to open a Powerpoint Presentation but it comes up with an error message and is not right. Help!

I recently purchased a MacBook Air and was told by Apple that Keynote and Pages were compatible with MS Applications.. I have since tried to open a Powerpoint Presentation but it comes up with an error message and is not right. Help!

If there are fonts, transitions, builds, video or audio in the PowerPoint file that are not compatible with Keynote, it will either prevent the presentation opening or Keynote will substitute the settings causing playback changes.
I use Open Office to play and open any PowerPoint files sent to me, they play exactly as in PowerPoint.
Open Office is free, you can download it here:
