Can't get notifications when connected to Wi-Fi

My husband and I upgraded to the Galaxy S5 on Nov. 27th and both of our phones are having problems getting notifications when connected to WiFi. We can't get texts, calls, Facebook won't load, etc... We went to two different Verizon store and called tech support and no one has been able to give us an answer to fix this. On Sunday a Verizon store switched our phones for new ones and the something is still happening. We can use our old phones and the Wi-Fi works fine and we get all the notifications we missed.

I was wondering if the library's router somehow gives preference to Windows computers over OS X and iOS devices and blocks Mac outgoing traffic when a certain number of Windows computers are online. Is that possible? It seems to happen only when there are a lot of people using their PCs.
It's possible I believe to identify a vendor by Mac address but I suspect that they'd never have gone ths far. I mean to what end?
Once on with your Mac can you even get software update to work?
At this point I would whilst there, create a new location in Network Pane of System Preferences and see if anything changes.

Can't get sound when connecting my Lenovo N500 to my Sony Bravia LVD HDTV

I've recently purchased a 42inch Sony Bravia LCD HDTV and have been able to get pitcure just fine on the screen, but sound is another thing all togehter... can anyone give me any pointers on getting sound from my Lenovo to my TV?
Thanks.
Joe

One last comment, I've tried using both HDMI (which I prefer)... but get's me no sound. I've also tried to use the VGA but I do believe I would need to use a sound cable as well... Is the HDMI output on the Lenovo N500 just for video at this point?

when ever i log any application on my 4s phone i get notification ie connect to iTunes to use push notification

Hello there, ajinkyab.
The following Knowledge Base article provides some great. practical steps for troubleshooting the issue you're describing:
iPad and iPod touch: Unable to use YouTube or Push notifications
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3305
To use certain services, iTunes must download and install an authentication token on the device. Because iPad and iPod touch do not require an active Internet connection to activate, these tokens may not be downloaded and installed during initial setup.
You can resolve this issue by verifying that iTunes has an active Internet connection. Use the following steps:
Open iTunes on your Mac or PC.
Verify that your Mac or PC has an active Internet connection by accessing the iTunes Store in iTunes.
Connect your iPad or iPod touch to your Mac or PC.
After the sync completes, verify you can access YouTube.
This article also provides a great resource for troubleshooting apps installed on your iOS device:

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

I'm staying at my house in Peru, South America. From my PC laptop I can see my neighbor's wifi service network, but I also have my mini iPad and I can not figure out why I can't get any wifi connection from my area. Is there a setting I need to do?

I'm staying at my house in Peru, South America. From my PC laptop I can see my neighbor's wifi service network, but I also have my mini iPad and I can not figure out why I can't get any wifi connection from my area. Is there a setting I need to do?

Yes, I did try to go on my settings>wifi and was waiting for any wifi signals to pick up, but nothing shows up. But on my PC I get a whole list of networks to choose from. Regarding my neighbor, I already have her password that is why I was able to get it on my PC, the problem is that the mini Ipad is not picking any signal neither can it locate me when I go to maps.

Bought a new Ipod touch and the WiFi does not connect. Tried Reset and total Restore, does not connect to Router on DHCP, tried Static manually and still can not get it to connect even though it registers as connected.

Bought a new Ipod touch and the WiFi does not connect. Tried Reset and total Restore, does not connect to Router on DHCP, tried Static IP, Subnet, Router and DNS manually and still can not get it to connect even though it registers as connected. Using Airport for router, latest firmware, no problems with Iphone 4 or Macbook Pro or any other internet devices. After total Restore (factory settings) tried again, showed connected to router, but does not display "check" next to router but little rotating icon even though the wifi range signal shows connected at full strength and it says it is connected. Just can't seem to get it to generate an IP. Any solutions other than turning it on and off again? Not a Merry Christmas morning.

Ok, so, a couple of things: Denisefromwaleska and I have the exact same size/type/color iPod. Now wishing I'd bought the black one maybe...
Second, Airport is an Express and I have a second one that I carry with me when I travel. Tried to connect my Airport Express to the internet and could not although the iPod did recognize the router and tried to connect to the internet for some time, unlike my previous problem. Updated firmware on my travel router, still could not connect to the internet. Going to try to set up a manual Static IP on the travel router here in a few and conect through it although I predict the problem will persist. Back on the Christmas Present Airport Express router, it is back in play and working fine for all devices save the iPod.
Thanks again for all your help, hopefully I can get a solution in place soon,

I can't get a database connection.

Background: I've already built two sites with databases using DW CS6, PHPMySQL, and the same hosting company, so I know they allow remote connections. (I'm developing using the remote host because I've never found a tutorial for how to move it all from local XAMPP to my host - but hey, it's been working fine so far.)
I set up the database using CPanel Databases, added the user and password, no problem. Went into PHP MySQL and added a table, logged out and back in, the table is there as defined.
In DW, I double-checked the testing server, tested the connection, and it connected successfully.
Then I opened a page for editing and added a database connection (all as I had done on the previous two sites that work fine). I named the connection, entered the user, the password and tried to SELECT a database. No luck. HTTP Error 404. I manually added the database (the only one) and clicked test. Again no luck. HPPT Error 404.
I double checked the testing server, double checked the DB information, and nothing seems to work.
Any clue what I'm doing wrong? Thanks so much if you can help.

UPDATE:
Okay, this is really getting weird. As a typcial computer nerd, I know there are many roads to success, so if one doesn't work, try another.
Trying a different solution, I opened a test.php page and wrote the following code:
<?php
echo "<p>Now testing database connection.</p>\n";
$db_server = "localhost";
$db_username = "mcsb831_mbradmin";
$db_password = "***(redacted)***";
$link = mysql_connect($db_server, $db_username, $db_password);
if (!$link) {
    echo "Could NOT connect.<br />\n";
}else{
    echo "Connected Successfully.<br />\n";
    mysql_close($link);
I loaded the page to the server and guess what? I got the message "Connected Successfully."
Hooray! Now I know the database server is running, and the database and user name and password are valid.
I went to the DW MbrConnect01.php file (the name of the CONNECTION file that Dreamweaver creates when I tried to make the connection through DW), and verified the database name, user name, and password were correct -- I copied and pasted them from the code above to make absolutely certain there were no transcription errors. Here's that file:
<?php
# FileName="Connection_php_mysql.htm"
# Type="MYSQL"
# HTTP="true"
$hostname_MbrConnec01 = "localhost";
$database_MbrConnec01 = "mcsb831_members";
$username_MbrConnec01 = "mcsb831_mbradmin";
$password_MbrConnec01 = "***(redacted)***";
$MbrConnec01 = mysql_pconnect($hostname_MbrConnec01, $username_MbrConnec01, $password_MbrConnec01) or trigger_error(mysql_error(),E_USER_ERROR);
?>
And guess what?
I GOT THE STINKING ERROR MESSAGE AGAIN!!
(See previous post for the full text of the message.
Yes, I checked the server using an FTP browser for the presence of the required files, and they are there.
Does anyone have a clue what's going on here? I would absolutely love to use DW's DB automation tools, but none of them will work if I can't get a DW connection to work.
I notice that my code uses mysql_connect while the DW-generated code uses mysql_pconnect (which is deprecated), could that be the culprit? How do I fix it if so?
PLEASE, can someone help?

How can I get an automatic connection to wifi on startup?

We lost internet connection during snow/ice storm. I have to manually connect to wifi now. How can I get an automatic connection to wifi?

An 'uninterruptible power supply' that automatically steps in and takes your computer
off the grid momentarily, will work in cases of brown-out (under-power) & surge (spike)
and it does so at a fast rate. Most of these also offer a way to customize sensitivity to
a certain degree, depending on model and should there be a valid reason to do so.
An old-school surge protector, even if it has a few fancy LEDs, is no protection. And
for less than a replacement logic board or an hour of authorized Apple repair, the UPS
is a fairly good investment. Backup battery is user-replaceable in the better made units.
Most of them offer extra ports that do not use the battery-backup power feature. If you
need to have more items run when the power switches up/down or out, you'd need to
consider a larger capacity backup power unit. In some instances, the makers of these
(for a time, perhaps even now) did caution users to not install more than one UPS per
room when the same leg may have inadequate grounding, since these can dump the
excess surge power from several different UPS units and overload the ground.
That said, the gamble is yours. I've found to have and use these is some protection
and when away from the computer. Most settings for controlling them appear in OS X.
No additional software is required. Other settings may be on the UPS front panel.
Good luck & happy computing!

How can I get alerted when someone replies to my comment?

I would really like to get a notification when someone replies to my comment in the forums. I have set my preferences to get email notifications for things I'm following but I get notifications for every time someone writes something in the forums. (I do get notifications when someone replies to my comment though. I just get way too many emails.)

Alec
I took a look at "Your Stuff" [Content] TAB & you seem to be consistent in the [Participated] & [Following] filters.
You WANT to receive notices from both as well as [Authored] (de facto Participated as well as Following - any post should make you automatically Following that thread)
If indeed a thread gets "out of hand" - which some inevitably do - you can UNfollow that thread, which will NOT remove it from the Authored or Participated filtered LISTS.
Hope this helps - but what I see seems manageable. You can always use the delete key or in your Mail client as I do - I'd rather know about it than not.

It has just occurred to me to ask what seems like a dumb question, when it says to plug in, that does mean plug into electric power, not your iMac, right?

How can i get notification of new emails in Mail without having the application open?

How can i get notification of new emails in Mail without having the application open?

Leave Mail running, but close its window (click red dot or ⌘W).
Right-click the Mail icon and use "Options" to enable "Open at Login". In the "Login Items" tab of "Users & Groups" system preference, check the "Hide" box next to Mail so it doesn't open a window when starting.

IPad 2 and iPhone 4 - can't get an internet connection while tethered

I have an iPad 2 and an iPhone 4. Been using the iPhone to tether my iPad for a few weeks and all of a sudden when it's tethered I can't get an internet connection. Both iPhone and iPad are updated with latest software.

Hello Emma I presume your in the UK.
In the UK PPPoA is the standard PPPoE is not supported by many ISP's.
On your Mac just use DHCP in your Network settings. Do not use PPPoE.
Then login to your router's web configuration page. http://192.168.0.1 or http://192.168.1.1. Admin and Password are the usual login details for netgear routers.
use the following details
PPPoA
VC-Mux
Chap authentication
vpi and vci are 38,0
and of course use your isp username and password.
Post edited. I just noticed you had already figured out the correct details.
