Apple TV connectivity with network suddenly stopped; reset twice; laptop and desktop access internet fine; Apple TV box bad?
Our Apple TV has worked fine with our Wi-Fi network for about a year. Connectivity suddenly stopped. I have reset it twice but it is still unable to connect to the internet using my Wi-Fi name and password. Both our iMac and Macbook are accessing the network without issues. Is our Apple TV box bad?
Hello Heypaddles,
As it says at the bottom of the article, please contact Apple Support if the troubleshooting in the article didn't resolve the issue:
If you tried all of these steps and your Wi-Fi issues persist, contact Apple technical support or take your Apple TV to the nearest Apple Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider (AASP) for diagnosis. If you plan to visit an Apple Retail Store, make a reservation at the Genius Bar using http://www.apple.com/retail/geniusbar/ (available in some countries only).
Note: Diagnostic fees may apply for issues not covered under warranty or the AppleCare Protection Plan (APP).

Need help setting up WiFi - Xfinity with Network Switch, Time Capsule, Airport Express and Apple TV
Hello - I recently got Comcast Xfinity service. We had switched from a different service. Our wifi service was never great, but prior to Xfinity, it worked decently. But now that we have Xfinity, our wifi is much worse and very unreliable. I am seeking advice on how to setup my various Apple wifi devices in my home. I have attached a diagram that illustrates what I am dealing with. We have a large old house with stone walls. Comcast does not support this issue.
To explain the attached diagram, we have a total of 4 levels in our house - an unfinished basement, 1st floor, 2nd floor, and 3rd floor. The Xfinity router is in the basement and it is connected to a NetGear 10/100 network switch. I already have ethernet cables running from the network switch in the basement to various locations throughout the house. So I have ethernet connected to my time capsule and ethernet connected to each of my 3 Airport express devices. The dark lines running from the network switch to the various devices represents ethernet cable.
The immediate problem that we are having is that we are unable to connect to our wifi networks. The networks show on my mac laptop and my iPhone, for example, but I am unable to connect. I know that I am inputting the correct password, but most of the time, we cannot get in. Sometimes we can..... Very frustrating! Also, due to the fact that I setup what I have over several years, I have multiple network names. I once tried to fix that issue, but was unable to tackle it due to my lack of understanding.
Here is what I am looking to accomplish:
1. Seamless wifi access throughout our house.
2. One name for our wifi network. Right now we have multiple names for multiple networks. Just want to simplify and have only one network. (I guess that an additional "guest network" would be ok, but not absolutely necessary.
Also, if you think I should disable the Xfinity wifi, and just rely on my mac wifi devices, I am perfectly fine with this. Just tell me how to do so.
I have no idea how where to start or how to set this up. I imagine that I would need to disconnect everything and reset and start from scratch? Can someone tell me what I should do? Even general advice would be helpful, but the more specific, the better, given my limited understanding. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.

(err= -3253) connection with the server was reset. (Windows XP)
I purchased a full album and am having trouble downloading three songs off this album from the iTunes store for Windows XP. The album is Draconian - Turning Season Within. Three of the nine songs off this album will not complete the downloads. It will get almost completely finished, for example: 11.1 MB of 11.3 MB, then it will start downloading the song again from the beginning before
reading: stopped (err= -3253). Then a dialog box pops up saying "connection with the server was reset. I wrote an email to support and tried all the suggested fixes, with no desireable results, including making sure my firewall allows access to iTunes and the iTunes store, changing the startup procedure in "msconfig", and running diagnostics on iTunes to check for connectivity, whick it says I have full connectivity to the internet. This is probably my last hope, that someone else has encountered the (err= -3253) message and can help me with it. This is also the third album I've purchased from the iTunes store and the first time I've had any kind of error message. Please help!Seems to be a scam/rogue software.

"The connection with the server was reset" Error Message
I am trying to download iTunes 8 for my new iPod that i got today.
However, when i am downloading the iTunesSetup.exe file, the file downloads normally until it gets to about 10.5MB.
After this a message pops up saying:
"Internet Explorer cannot download iTunesSetup.exe from appldnld.apple.com.edgesuite.net.
The connection with the server was reset"
Has anyone else had this problem, if yes how do i resolve it???
Thanks in advance for any help!Hi!
Im using Windows 7.... I tried looking for the Wireless Config - but it isn't in the Services options!
So, what can I do now?

my iphone will no longer connect to my home wifi. it recognises it, but the searching cirlce is constant next to network name. there are three laptops and another iphone on the same wifi that have no connectivity issues. i have reset the network settings but that did not help. the issue started last week when the second iphone was introduced to the house, could this be the cause?
No.
Any problem connecting your iPhone to any other wi-fi network besides your own? -
I have an optical mouse that came with my Mac Pro, the only thing plugged into the USB port on the keyboard. After a year of working normally, the trackball all of a sudden stopped scrolling down. It scrolls up just fine, but not down. Any thoughts?
Well
I tried all of the suggestions, sort of. I did not have alcohol wipes, but I did take alcohol and pour some ona white paper towel and then rolled the mouse touch ball aroound and that finally cleared up the problem. Just inverting it on paper did not do the reick, it needed some help with the alcohol. Of course the probelm is the debris that gets inside and it really needs to come out.
This is a huge problem for RIM devices users too. -

Error? I don't see any error.
Process that have errors issue error messages and codes. They do so to assist in solving the error. Why do you not share that information? -
My Mac suddenly stopped playing through my external speakers which are fine and working well with other devices.
Have a look in System Preferences -> Sound -> Output.
Plug the speakers out. Do you now see "Internal Speaker" as the name from the Built-in device? If you replug your speakers, is it now changing to "Headphone? -

I lose connection with network (router: Airport Extreme, latest firmware) whenever MacBook Pro put to sleep. Have to use diagnostics to reconnect. Tells me network configurations have changed, then reconnects me to network. What is the fix?
Try the following, in order, until (hopefully) resolved:
1a. Delete Preferred Network(s)
System Preferences > Network > AirPort > Advanced > AirPort tab
Under "Preferred Networks," delete the network(s) you regularly use from the list.
1b. Delete AirPort Keychain Entries
Launch the "Keychain Access" application located in Applications/Utilties.
Click on the "Kind" filter at the top, and look for any "AirPort network password" entries...and delete them.
1c. Add Preferred Network(s)
System Preferences > Network > AirPort > Advanced > AirPort tab
Add the preferred network(s) using the "+" button.
Restart or log out then back in.
2. Move System Configuration Files
(Note: You will have to reestablish your network connections settings.)
Go to /Library/Preferences
Move the SystemConfiguration folder to the desktop.
Restart your Mac. (Note: OS X will rebuild the files that are now sitting on your desktop. If this doesn't resolve the issue, you can move the folder back to it's original location.) -
phone will not connect with iTunes, so you can not run, and I unlocked it and got the message that it is unlocked and I have to connect with the tunes.
Try this - 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.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
