BRCM80211 works, but doesn't allow connections

So I have recently found that the brcm80211 driver works for my netbook. I have installed it and it is able to find my wireless network. However, it refused to connect. It's a WEP password, not WPA, so it shouldn't be a problem, but it is. I am absolutely, positively sure the essid and the password are correct, as I have meticulously entered them over and over again. My windows PC also uses the password successfully. Before this I used broadcom-wl which had the same issue.
has anyone had the problem of their card not confectioning to their network and was able to fix the issue?

It turns out that I misread the manpage. The '@' after the permissions doesn't mean soft link, but rather extended attributes. Using 'ls -lO' I could see that a "hidden" extended attribute had been added, which I was then able to remove by logging in as administrator, and typing 'sudo chflags nohidden Data', in the specific case of my Data drive.

I don't understand how to fix this and I don't seem to understand where the problem is coming from.

Let's try the simple approach first. Restart your router. Any change?

My iphone 6 connects to the car via bluetooth, the music works good, but the phone calles does not work. It looks like it is working but doesn't. I have tried in my Hyundai and a Dodge rent car and get the same results. I updated the last 8.0.2.

My iphone 6 connects to the car via bluetooth, the music works good, but the phone calls does not work. It looks like it is working but doesn't. I have tried in my Hyundai Sonata and a Dodge Dart rent car and get the same results. I updated the last 8.0.2. It worked the first day i had the phone, and then i updated to Ios 8.0.2 and it quit working.
Now when i get in the car, it acts like it is connected and makes the same call it was on after syncing to bluetooth, but it really isn't on a call. This is happening on both cars.
Does anyone know if this is the phone and i need to take it to Apple or if there is an issue that Apple is working on getting a fix for?
My son in law has the exact same phone as me, we both got the on 10/6, he had a Dodge Dart and his is working via bluetooth.
Someone HELP please, as i consider this a safety issue by not having my calls go to bluetooth.

We had the same problem, but figure out the solution.
You MUST have at least 1 song added to your ITUNE! After you add a free song, then everything else should work as normal!
Hope this helps!

Dvd/cd drive works but won't allow me to install new programs from disk, doesn't recognize the disk,

dvd/cd drive works but won't allow me to install new programs from disk, doesn't recognize the disk, what can I do?

Well I was able to obtain a work around download of Flash and it installed fine but Firefox tells me it needs updating so I go out, thinking I'm "IN" finally to update it and I get that issue of not being able to get the update for it. It's a regular laptop, not a touch screen or one of those new fangled ones for todays world. In fact it's a refurb so it's probably origin date was a year or so ago before all this MS stuff took off fully. So not understanding why I'm feeling like I'm being BLOCKED from getting the updated Flash I need and desire. If I click on the little "X" and tell it to ignore the warning the vid will play just fine but don't want to have to do that every time. Must be a better way.
Again, I'm sorry for posting in the wrong forum, getting this posted in the Flash forum was my desire but the way Adobe has this set up I just couldn't figure it out. I belong to ALLOT of forums and most are pretty straight forward but this one is confusing!

I admit, it's been awhile since I synchronized. Just did so, and all appeared right with the world, the handheld made the appropriate noises and showed the appropriate actions and same on the computer (XP, connect as always have through USB). In other words, they appeared to "talk" and said they were synchronizing. But my data (like important calendar entries) is simply not there. Nothing. Nada.  Nothing recently added.
I tried repeating it several times. Yes, I have the system set up so that desktop overrides handheld.  So what's up? Used this a lot in the past, never had this happen.
Thanks for any help.
Using XP and the original hot sync that came with palm and that I've always used--no changes. Help????

I'm having the same problem though not with the exact same components. I have a Palm Z22 and Windows Vista--things were going great until a few days ago when I noticed that the palm weren't connecting. The Hotsync process proceeds normally, there are no problems noted in the hotsync log, and yet things do not travel from the computer to the palm and vice versa. I've tried pretty much everything: I know the palm is connected to the desktop, not Outlook; I have tried soft and hard resets; I have uninstalled and reinstalled the software multiple times; I know the username is correct.
I suspect the problem has something to do with Vista; when I restored my computer to a previous time it started working fine but this morning it stopped again. The computer may be automatically updating in a way that is preventing the Palm Desktop software (verson 4.2) from working. Version 6.2 seems to work but I really hate it--there's no color schemes or categories. If someone could help me out with this I would really, really appreciate it.

We use one windows machine and two mbp's (post 2012) at home. We have a modem *** router from a non apple vendor that airport utility finds and connects with absolute ease. But doesn't stay connected. The signal drops often, what can I do?

We use one windows machine and two mbp's (post 2012) at home. We have a modem *** router from a non apple vendor that airport utility finds and connects with absolute ease. But doesn't stay connected. The signal drops often, what can I do?

No, not all network clients -- only the two mac portables and they run together very rarely. The windows machine is hardwired to the modem router combo, and that's always sailing smooth. The mbp that is most used is perhaps 20 feet max from the router - and in another room. But it also happens when I take in into the same room as the router. On occassion, I have noticed while using network diagnostics, that one digit in the IP number sometimes appears to go awry. I then try to set up manually - and it works for a bit but is hugely erratic.
I rigged a hand me down airport express and set up a separate network for the two macs and it ran beautifully for some weeks, but that little piece is now dead and none of the retailers in my suburb seem to have one in stock. I don't want to be forced to buy an airport extreme and here in India, there's no trustworthy online ordering option.
The man from the ISP's been here several times and I don;t think it is a modem/dsl issue because the smartphone connects and the macbook drops when both are the same distance from the router? I am truly foxed and intensely irritated! :-(

Alright, so my ipod touch stopped working, but I can still connect it to itunes, but my friend gave me his old nano. I was wondering how I could get my more updated songs from my ipod touch onto the shuffle. My laptop crashed whish had all my new music

Alright, so my ipod touch stopped working, but I can still connect it to itunes, but my friend gave me his old nano. I was wondering how I could get my more updated songs from my ipod touch onto th nano. My laptop crashed whitch had all my new music, and im afraid if I sync my Ipod touch to the desktop with all my old songs, ill lose all my newer ones which I dont want to happen because I want them on my nano. Im sorry for the confusing topic im just so lost.

All you have to do is connect your new iPod to the computer that has the library for your old iPod.
When iTunes comes up, click on your new iPod under Devices.
At the top of the Summary Page click Music.
Click Synch Music.
Do the same thing for Photos, Apps, Movies and so on...
Now just synch the iPod.

Reset the iPad and try again. Hold down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears on the screen. Let go of the buttons, let the iPad start up.

No mouse pointer when connected to TV Samsung led40/6500. Mouse works but doesn't show?

Just bought Mac Mini. Connected to Samsung 40/6500 ledtv. using mouse pad but no pointer seen. Finally found the resolution working, but not the right resolution. Should be 1920x1080 @ 60 hz via HDMI. Mac Mini's best is much different from this. How can I find the right resolution on my Mac Mini.

It actually works fine on my sons Lumatron cheap tv! But not on the Samsung led tv?
To start with I used an app on my Iphone to recieve the image from the Mac Mini and then try to find the right resolution on the MAC. Because every time I choose the wrong one the display went black. I could then still see the image on my phone and troubleshoot my way through...

Scan works, print says it works but doesn't

Hi all! Everyone seems to have the opposite problem - wireless printing works but scan doesn't. Not me! I can choose "scan" from my printer OR computer interface and it starts right up. Problem is, when I go to print it goes through the "printing" screen then says "print job complete" (no hangups or errors or something in the print queue to delete - it's in the queue then it disappears as though printed), but...no business results on the printer end!
Before you ask, yes the printer works (can print from SD card inserted directly to printer, or from old computer connected via network). Yes I have turned everything off and back on. Yes I tried downloading the HP print & scan doctor, and it says everything is fine, sees ink levels etc, but its test page behaves the same as any other print job. Yes I have deleted the whole HP shebang and re-downloaded and re-searched/connected my computer via the wireless network. And, as aforementioned, it scans. Oh, and tells me my ink levels! So clearly there is communication, just not for this. What weird sub-setting am I missing?
And also, if you can resolve this, can you give me an idea whether it is suddenly going to start printing the 80 pages or so that I've tried to beam over, so I can stop it? : )
Thanks muchly!

Hi @theshrew
Please try bypassing the spooler to see if you can print directly to the printer.
1. Click on start and go to devices and printers.
2. Right click on the printer and click on printer properties.
3. Choose the option "Print directly to the printer".
4. Click apply and then ok.
If this works follow the next steps and try to print again.
Hold down the Windows Logo key () on the keyboard and the 'R' to open the run box
Type services.msc and press Enter
Locate Print Spooler and double click on it to open the Spooler properties
Make sure startup type is set to Automatic, if it is not please click on the drop down and choose Automatic
Under Service status, please Stop the server, and then wait a moment and click Start
If bypassing the spooler does not result in a successful print, let me know.
Also, what printer model do you have? How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?
Are you getting any error message, or does a blank page print? The more detail I have the better

My 3G stopped working and doesn't allow me to go on Instagram/Facebook/ect. what's the problem? How do I fix it?

My 3G stopped working a while ago and it is starting to annoy me. My iPhone won't let me go on Instagram and Facebook and Twitter. Is there any way to fix this? Do I have to call the company? Or what?

Hi Bunnyfoofoow,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I recommend trying these troubleshooting steps if the cellular data connection on your iPhone is not working:
Follow the instructions below for assistance with troubleshooting cellular data issues on your iPhone. After performing each step, please test to see if the issue is resolved.
Toggle airplane mode: Tap Settings, turn airplane mode on, wait three seconds, and then turn off again.
Restart your iPhone.
Ensure that your software is up to date:
Check for a Carrier Settings Update. Tap Settings > General > About.
Check for an iOS Software Update. Tap Settings > General > Software Update.
Note: Some updates may require a Wi-Fi connection.
Remove the SIM Card and reinsert it. Allow the iPhone to acquire the network again.
If your SIM card has SIM PIN enabled, try toggling it off: Tap Settings > Phone > SIM PIN.
Try another location. If a different location works, but the original location still does not, contact your carrierto report the issue.
Reset network settings: Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
Restore the iPhone as new.
Contact your carrier to:
Verify that the iPhone is properly set up on the account with the appropriate, current data plan.
Verify that there are no account-related blocks.
Find out if there are specific error messages in the carrier logs that could help determine why the issue is occurring.
If none of the above steps resolves the issue, contact your carrier, make an appointment at an Apple Retail Store, or contact AppleCare to troubleshoot further.

Install finally worked - but now I cannot connect

My install did work after I logged on as administrator, and the database home page came up. I was very pleased, BUT then....
I rebooted and re-logged in as my own user, and the database home page would not come up! My services are started, but when I tried connecting (SQL) I got:
ORACLE not available

please help!
ps I did try as administrator again but still can't connect, same problem.

It seems to be working ok this morning...
