Bit annoyed with this router that just came in the mail
Yesterday I got into a support chat just to kind of see if I could get a new router, mine has given me intermittent problems for as long as I've had it (and let's face it Actiontecs aren't that great). I have a Rev. D and requested a Rev. F since it does Wireless N (and since they refuse to release Rev. G to residential customers). Everything went smoothly, he put in the order and surprisingly it got here the next morning (just now).
Unfortunately what I got in the box wasn't an Actiontec Rev. F. What I got was a Westell 9100EM15 - a router that doesn't do Wireless N. So I'm back in the same situation I was in before.
So yeah, I dunno really. I could request yet another router of the correct model, but I don't know if I trust them to actually send one.
Yeah.
So immediately after receiving the incorrect router I chatted with "Nehru" who assured me that he would personally see to it that I got a revision F router.
Just opened my package and what do you know, another Westell 9100EM15.
I shouldn't have to randomly get the hardware I want from some install tech.
This whole hardware situation Verizon has set up is pretty ridiculous and I refuse to go spend money on hardware that they should be providing me with my paid subscription to their service.
So I give up. In short, Verizon support can **bleep** themselves.

Why can i get a connection w/my wireless laptop with this router (WRT54GS ) but not on the desktop?
I have an excellent signal w/this laptop (wireless) but when I try to use the desktop with the same router it wont go. Do I need driver download? Do I need an IP address for the router? I use tech support for connecting the desktop to the internet straight from the modem they sent me but because I didnot buy the router from them, they wont help me figure out once I plug in the router and setup more than one machine, i cant do it. Initailly, I setup everything w/my laptop being the main computer in my home until I got this desktop recently. So knowing the desktop is fine because it works straight from the modem, and the laptop works w/the router and modem hooked up together but not the desktop, what the HECK is the problem? I dont have any cd or anything w/this router because when I moved, i never found the box it came in again. Is there someplace online I can find what I need? Im wondering how I will know if I have a response from someone on this thread? will I get an email from this site? gosh Im confused.

Message Edited by kent07 on 10-28-2009 07:29 PMHow you are trying to use the desktop...wired or wireless?
If you are trying to connect the computer to the router via an Ethernet cable then,try changing the cable.Check the ip address you are getting on the computer...
Click Start >> All Programs >> Accessories >> Command Prompt...A black box will appear(Command Prompt)...In the Command Prompt window type ipconfig and press 'Enter'...Look for Ethernet Adapter Local Area Connection IP Address , Subnet Mask and Default Gateway...
IP Address should be 192.168.1.x, Subnet Mask : 255.255.255.0, Default Gateway : 192.168.1.1 (assuming your router is 192.168.1.1)...
If you get the above mentioned IP Address, Subnet and Gateway Address then you should ping the Gateway, type ping 192.168.1.1 and press Enter...If it gives you request timed out then disable any firewalls, security softwares on the computer...
If you get 4 replies then type ping 4.2.2.2 and press Enter, if you get request timed out, then you need to upgrade your router's firmware...If you get 4 replies then type ping yahoo.com and press Enter...If you get replies for Yahoo then you should get the Internet after adjusting the browser settings...
Adjusting Browser Settings : Open an IE, click Tools >> Internet Options, then delete all files, cookies, history, forms...Goto "Connections", make sure Never Dial a Connection is checked, click on LAN Settings and make sure all the options are unchecked...Once you are done click on OK...Close the IE and re-open it...
If yahoo times out then provide static DNS on your LAN Connection...
Click on the Start button >>> Settings >>> Control Panel >>>Network Connections- Right click on the icon for Local Area Connection and go to properties- On the 'General' tab select 'Internet Protocol TCP/IP' and click on the Properties button- Select 'Use the Following DNS Settings' Preferred DNS 4.2.2.2 Alternate DNS - 192.168.1.1>>Click on Ok button to Save and Click on "Close" on main Properties window...You should be able to go online... -
so annoyed with this new itunes, spent over 2 hrs to get one ringtone on iphone,why apple has to make it so complicated, on samsung just a push of button ringtone or music is on ur phone... i think its time to say good bye to iphone... Not a user friendly...
Highly recommended for samsung galaxy S4....hi i had the same problem today when i updated my itunes to latest version. however, i have just found my songs in the 'itunes media' folder. this was accessed through 'my music' then keep clicking through until you find itunes media and all my library songs were in there and i then just added these files to my library and all were restored however, i have lost all my playlists but at least my 700 songs are back. very dissapointed with apple that they have let this happen with their latest update, the previous version was miles better than this one . hope you find them. stevo

My ipad mini is not being recognized by the new iTunes update that just came out about a week ago it worked fine till the update I have windows 8.1 does anyone know how to fix this problem and I just bought my ipad mini
I found this is another thread - same issue.
Re: iTunes has stopped working. Why?
Sep 11, 2013 6:07 AM (in response to thurdy)
Resolved!
After contacting Apple, I received a reply from their engineers:
Copy QTMovieWin.dll from: C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
to: C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
And that did the trick.

you must have connected the Time Capsule with a router that does not work with my direct cable from my ISP
I tried to answer in your other post.. please stick to one thread ..
What method of internet do you have.. is this fibre install.. if so the TC should just plug in and use dhcp in router mode.. press and hold the reset and it will go back to router mode by default. -
I have brought some movies and they just come up with this message that says it cannot be played on this iPod. I've bought movies before without iTunes Extras but these have iTunes extras and they don't want to sync with my iPod
Does anyone know what is wrong?Sounds like you are trying to sync the HD version of the video. You should try to download the Standard Definition copy instead and sync that to your device as HD content is only compatible with the 4G iPod Touch. See here for more information:
iTunes: May be unable to transfer videos to iPhone, iPad, or iPod
To prevent HD versions from being downloaded in the future head to the iTunes Store, click the Purchased link, and then select TV Shows and remove the tick mark next to Download HD when available. You should be able to download the SD version now from under this same page.

Is Windows 7 64-bit Compatible with This iMac late 2013 ?
Is Windows 7 64-bit compatible with this computer?
Hardware and software:
• Late 2013 iMac 27", 3.5 GHz I7, 32 GB memory, 1 TB hard drive Flash
* 4GB Graphic Card
• Mac OS 10.9.1
• USB thumb drive 2.0 16GB
• Boot Camp Assistant 5.1.0
• Windows 7 64-bit install disk iso image
Install steps:
1. Use Boot Camp Assistant to install Windows 7 install (from iso image) and Apple Support Software (creates WININSTALL USB drive)
2. Use Boot Camp Assistant to create Equal partition (500GB) on iMac internal drive and start Windows install
3. Complete initial install steps until given option to select install partition
4. Select 500 GB partition. Error message that partition is not formatted correctly. Use Advance Options to format (presumably to NTFS)
5. Select 500 GB partition again and click "Next"
6. Get error message "Setup was unable to create a new system partition or locate an existing system partition. See the Setup log files for more information."
7. Install quits at this point
I'm wondering if Windows 7 and/or Boot Camp is compatible with this iMac. Any suggestions will be appreciated.
Many thanks.
JoeHi, Indeed. I am selecting the Bootcamp partition, and If I do Format, It informs me that all we be deleted, ok fair enough. then I can click the NEXT button, but I got then a msg stating :
Setup was u nable to create a new system partion or locate an existing system partition. See the Setup Log Files for more informations.
I have not more option here, I can delete, then create a new one with same size then format again, but same message at the end. this is my issue.
A guy done a Youtube video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vD7dbSl9-b8
I am all ok up to 5min 50 on the video. Then My issue is what he has....
However, when he format the partition he does not have my error msg stating Setup was unable to create. etc...
This is my issue. -

I like and use Top Sites but it has become unsuable with this constant blacking out and reloading the thumbnails. My MBP has not seen a problem at all.
I have been searching every other day for over a month trying to find a fix in Windows Safari with no joy. I want to resolve, not switch browsers. Please offer up a solution that only refreshes the Top Site thumbnails once a day or as some controlable interval. Started about two versions ago, now on ver 5.1.5. Windows 7 64bit.
Safari 5.1.5 for Win64 bit, Windows 7!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I think I solved the wifi connection problem, just by switching off completely the router! sounds trivial, but in this case it worked!!!
the funny behaviour of the trackpad/cursor still persists. any suggestion???
thanks again -
i have a 2008 imac with snow leopard. i installed update 10.9.3 not realizing it's best for Maverick's users. Now my Itunes 11.2.2 won't burn playlists to CD. Anyone else with this problem? CAn I uninstall the 10.9.3 update? Also my HP scannerwill not save the displayed scanned document since this update! it just saves gray.
If you have your old system backed up then erase the drive and restore your backup. If you don't have a backup then backup your entire Home folder. Erase the drive and install Snow Leopard after which you can restore your Home folder from the backup.
Clean Install of Snow Leopard
Be sure to make a backup first because the following procedure will erase
the drive and everything on it.
1. Boot the computer using the Snow Leopard Installer Disc or the Disc 1 that came
with your computer. Insert the disc into the optical drive and restart the computer.
After the chime press and hold down the "C" key. Release the key when you see
a small spinning gear appear below the dark gray Apple logo.
2. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue
button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
After DU loads select the hard drive entry from the left side list (mfgr.'s ID and drive
size.) Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window. Set the number of
partitions to one (1) from the Partitions drop down menu, click on Options button
and select GUID, click on OK, then set the format type to MacOS Extended
(Journaled, if supported), then click on the Apply button.
3. When the formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed
with the OS X installation and follow the directions included with the installer.
4. When the installation has completed your computer will Restart into the Setup
Assistant. Be sure you configure your initial admin account with the exact same
username and password that you used on your old drive. After you finish Setup
Assistant will complete the installation after which you will be running a fresh
install of OS X. You can now begin the update process by opening Software
Update and installing all recommended updates to bring your installation current.
Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.
Or you can:
Try these in order testing your system after each to see if it's back to normal:
1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the
computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager
screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
Reinstall the 10.9.3 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.3 Update (Combo).
4. Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
Reinstall the 10.9.3 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.3 Update (Combo). -

Treo800w: Wifi + Speaker = Suck (with wifi hint that should go in the sticky)
Hi all! Posting my first problem on these boards I've been through two Treo 800w's (I actually LOST one almost as soon as I got it, argh). Both 800w's had this speaker problem, although I didn't put all the pieces together until last week (I had been operating under the theory that the original Treo was suffering from intermittant speaker failure, possibly due to a cold solder joint- took some time to see that both units had the same problem, and only when wifi was on.)
When wifi is on (connected, unconnected, doesn't matter- but it's worse if wifi usage is heavy)- the speaker output sucks rocks. Speakerphone? Can't understand the speaker. Ring tones/notifications/etc? Crackly, awful. Ask it to play music or video? It really sounds like the speaker is being physically damaged now, the distortion is so crackingly severe.
Turn the wifi off? The external speaker is sweet as pie. [Edit: That's overstatement. The external speaker still sucks compared to the one on my old free VX8300, but it's MUCH better than it is with the wifi turned on.] Connect the USB earphones that come with the 800w? Sounds beautiful, no distortion whatsoever, and it doesn't matter if wifi is on or off in this case.
In summation: the wifi card being on totally screws up the external speaker, and even if you have the volume set to minimum where you can't hear it, it sounds like that poor speaker is dying if it's asked to play any sounds. Does anyone have a fix? (I bet it's a hardware problem and there IS no fix )
Edit: I just played with this a little. I turned the WiFi off and put a movie on the Media Player. It sounds OK-ish. With USB headphones, it sounds fantastic. Turn wifi on, and USB headphones sound fantastic (unchanged). Remove the headphones and go to the external speaker, the sound is extremely loud cracks and pops that are much louder than the sound generated by the movie. (MUCH louder...to the point that you can't hear the dialogue and worry that the speaker is being damaged.)
Edit edit: Interestingly, if you turn the phone off or on while sound is being played, you hear similar audio artifacts. They only persist while the phone is going on or off- and do not linger after the transition, unlike the wifi hardware, which generates louder artifacts the whole time it's powered on.
Also, one hint that's not in the stickied FAQ (for users in urban areas, mostly): If you can't get your wifi to connect and everything is set right on both ends: The antenna in your treo sucks. That's the price you pay for it being invisibly small. It's a good tradeoff. Change the channel on your wifi access point to be as far away as possible from any other access point within reception range (If you have to pick, get as far away as you can from the loudest one). What I mean here is that you should get a laptop or a PC with wifi hardware, put it where you want your Treo to work, and find out what channel your wifi WAP is on, and what channel the WAP with the most signal strength is on. Set the channel of your wifi WAP to be as far away from the competition as possible. Channel 1 and channel 11 are common factory presets for 802.11b and 802.11g WAP's. I spent about three hours today trying to get my Treo to connnect to an AP it had been working fine with the day before... and as soon as I changed the channel to get away from an AP that was so soft the Treo didn't even list it (though my PC listed it at -45 dbm), it started working great. (To clarify, my wifi broke because someone put up a WAP that was far enough away that my Treo didn't even see it, on the same channel as my WAP.... and no amount of fiddling could fix it. However, changing my WAP's channel fixed it immediately.)
