Can't find wireless at home after just one day

The first day back home, everything was fine, I can find the wireless name in the airport list and use it normally.
then I just folded the MBP as usual (I bought it last Fall, and use it normally)
the next morning I couldn't find the wireless at home but only could find the neighbors', even we both use TP-LINK router.
Till today it's more than 3 weeks that I couldn't do anything with my MBP.
I deleted all the old wireless record in the preference list and add my home wireless usr name and passwrd but nothing happened, still can't connect to it/
I can connect to internet normally at a coffee bar or starbucks.
all the other devices at home ,like my iphone and ipad , and my 27inch imac can connect to my home wireless normally, but sometimes the imac will lose the connection.
I read the discussion about the similar problem in this forum, but I decide to ask it again because the most strange part is , my MBP connected to it normally at the first day!!!!
I bought my MBP last year through online shop in CANADA. I don't think it will be a channel problem since I did can connect to it in the first day.
I didn't add any software for the airport or internet connection, either.
If somebody could have any idea that will be so helpful. Thank you.

Location services based on wi-fi is dependent on the Wi-Fi access point database having a known location. It is also not dependent on your own wireless AP, it uses all the APs it can see. It is possible your AP was never in the database, but a neighbor's was. If the neighbor's AP can't be seen or has been removed, you would lose "your" location information.
SkyHook wireless maintains a database that Apple used at one point (or still uses). You can try adding your AP (Time Capsule) to their database and see if that generates a location after a few days. http://www.skyhookwireless.com/howitworks/submit_ap.php
My understanding is Apple is collecting locations based on iPhone/iPad location data tied with visible Wi-Fi APs, but I don't have any solid source. So, I don't know if they still uses SkyHook data. I submitted mine years ago and was "located" shortly thereafter.

Hello, cherilyn.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I understand that a couple MagSafe adapters will no longer charger a couple MacBooks. Here are the best troubleshooting steps to go through when experiencing this issue.

Slighty shocked on usage after just one day

I moved to BT Infinity just yesterday. I haven't been online massively since then - at least I thought not! Done a bit of facebooking, watched an hour's telly via my nowtv box, checked my emails and that's about it. I did try out the free wifi at my mothers earlier on my kindle. I thought for interest to check how my of my 20gb I had used in just one day and was shocked to the core to see my usage is at 1.88gb. How is this possible???? Going on that as a guide and what I normally do online I'm going to have exhausted the allowance in the first week, never mind it lasting the month.
I would be glad of any suggestions. I used to turn off my router when I left for the day with the previous one I had as I am the only one in the property and therefore I saw no point in leaving it chugging away. Would this help with the infinity router?

as you are on the bt infinity 1 20gb package for £15 a month it might be worth upgrading to the infinity 1 unlimited package for £23
packages > http://www.productsandservices.bt.com/products/broadband/packages/?s_cid=con_FURL_packages&utm_sourc...
i downgrade from unlimited to 40gb about a year ago and within 2 months i had topped my monthly 40gb by only 700mb and was fined £5 for going over. the only reason was i downloaded a couple of games that month.
for peace of mind i upgraded again.
ive now gone for the unlimited infinity 2 as dont want to get caught out again.

MacBook Pro 15" can't find wireless preferred network after wake-up

Hello all
I've this problem with a MBP 15" (SnowLeopard 10.6.6): it doesn't find my preferred wi-fi network after waking-up from sleep.
Settings:
- on the MBP there's a preferred Location for this wi-fi connection
- wi-fi, DHCP and DNS managed by an AVM FritzBox 7050 (not visible SSID, MAC restriction, WPA2 pw)
- the channel I've set is different from other wi-fi around the building
The same network works perfectly using an old iBook G4 and an iMac, and other Windows PCs too.
Sometimes the MBP AirPort card just can't find the preferred Fritz network, while it does sees other wi-fi in the same building. Even using NetStumbler doesn't help.
I need to try to add manually "another" network several times before the MBP joins the Fritz wi-fi.
I already deleted and recreated the preferred network.
Is this a known software issue, or it can be a faulty AirPort card ?
thanx
Gabriel

Hello all,
after a lot of testing, using both the MacBook Pro and an old iBook G4 (the latter was working perfectly), and having on both machines some wi-fi sw such as KisMAC and iStumbler (while watching the wi-fi monitor on the access point consolle), I found that:
- the MacBook Pro is much more sensible to noise;
- it is better to use a channel with little noise, even if the are other devices on overlapping channels.
Eg: I found the channel #13 was free and there was only 1 other PC on #12, but there was a lot of noise. After trying all the channels, I decided to use #4 because there was little noise, even if there were many PCs around on #5/6.
So, don't care (as one should usually do) too much about not overlapping channels; instead, search for channels with little interferences.
I hope my solution can help you
G.

Re: Slighty shocked on usage after just one day

I have been a BT broadband customer for some time now but in the last 2 months I have had useage warning e mails and sure enough my useage is near the 40Gb limit, probably over now but I cant check as useage monitor is always 2 days behind. The useage monitor shows my average as 21Gb so why the sudden increase? Is the useage monitor correct? Is something else using my broadband? How can I check?
Do BT have another problem?
How many others are experiencing this?

With useage monitor showing an average of 21.01Gb at end of Aug 2014 this has now increased to 22.09Gb after two months of very high useage shown, actually exceeded limit for August. I am not aware of any significant change in household useage. Reading other forum topics it would seem I am not alone with others having similar issues. I have not signed up for others to use WiFi, very rarely download films, BT Sport etc.
As I do not trust the BT Monitor, which is always 2 days behind, I have now installed tbbmeter to see what that shows. I know it will only capture what the computer is using and not include anything else but it should help indicate if it is my pc or some other device. More to folow when I have some data to look at.

Can't find my downloaded movies after upgrade ipad2 iOS 5

After aan easy upgrade to ios5.1.1 I can not find my downloaded movies after upgrade ipad2 iOS 5.

You are looking in the videos app - correct?
If they are not in there - try this ....
Swipe to the right from your first home screen to get to the iPad Spotlight search. Type in the name of any of your movies in the field at the top. If a movie appears in the search - tap on it and it should hopefully start to play. Let it play for a minute or so - hit done - go back to videos app and see if all is OK and if the rest of your movies have appeared.
If they still do not show up - sync them back from iTunes on your computer.

HT1695 Can't Find any wifi Networks after updragding to 6.0.1

My iPhone 4 can't find any wifi networks after upgrading to iOS 6.0.1 and i can't downgrade what should i do ?
I swtiched off the connection from mobile and restared the router and nothing changed!
Note: My laptop found about 7 Networks my iphone finds nothing

I have the exact same problem.
It popped up on my 8gb iPhone (2.0.1) first time when i just purchased it. The Wheel spins as if it's searching for hotspots (and there are a lot of hotspots where i live). My MacbookPro finds them without any problems.
Second time i experienced these problems, it was after i didn't have a chance to charge the phone, and i figured it was a "Low battery, disable wifi" thing. But even though i charged it fully, it still can't scan networks.
I managed to discharge the battery, until the 10% warning popped up. I connected the charger, and sure enough, it was able to scan networks. Then when i tried to join a network, it stopped working again, and since then i've been unable to scan wifi. Now 3 resets, and a lot of fiddling later, i'm no further than i was before.
The fact that it was able to scan momentarily points me in the direction of the software, but i'm not so sure anymore.
Hope someone can shed some light on this.

But I just can't find a router which is just some centimetres away.
My card is not broken because in Windows I can connect flawlessly to my router.
No, my network is not hidden.
It's an intel 3495 card.

Can't find the bean which was just created??

Hi all.
I am completely stuck at this problem. I'll try to explain it as briefly as possible. (Btw I use Weblogic 8.1 and Oracle 10g DB).
I create an entity bean (it has a String as a primary key). It has some relationships, everything is set up nicely. Upon creation I put the Id in a JMS message, the message in a JMS queue and finish the method.
From the MDB that gets this message I do findByPrimaryKey(id) and it complains it cannot find my bean. Why? I can see it in the database. Also if I send to the MDB an ID from a bean that was created earlier, it works. It just can't find the bean that was just created, as if it wasn't "commited".
What could be the cause of this? Is there an easy way to explain/solve it?
I appreciate any kind of help. Thanks in advance. Cheers!

Does the database insertion and the JMS publish occur in the same XA
transaction? It sounds like the JMS commit happens (sometimes) quick
enough that the other resource (the database) has not finished commit
processing yet. So you don't find your key.

Uninstall the program. It should have come with an uninstaller. If not, contact the developer for instructions.
