Can't get on internet.. PLEASE HELP!!
I thought I was computer savvy and told a friend at work that has an issue with her internet that I could fix it. I am having more trouble than I thought. She told me it was a Windows 7 and it is a Dell Windows XP Professional service pack 3. I am not
very familiar with them.
She told me that she had uninstalled some programs she felt were slowing her computer down and now her wireless is not working the light is not on, the switch is on but when I go into network adapters all there is, is a 1394 Net Adapter and a Broadcom NetXtreme
and it acts like it needs a cable plugged in to get online when she has never had to use a cable before. I can not find anywhere where there is wireless settings or anything.
Someone please help, this lady is super nice and I would hate to let her down. I have the computer here with me now and if anyone could help I would appreciate is so much
I think you are confusing the connection to your AirPort as being the same thing as a connection to the internet. The fact that you are connecting to the AirPort is great, but you can get a legitimate DHCP address and full signal strength even if the AirPort is completely disconnected from your cable/DSL modem.
1) Crack open AirPort Admin Utility and click the "Internet" tab. What address does the AirPort have? Hopefully not one that starts with 169. Tell us what you have for IP addrss, subnet, router and DNS (even if the DNS are any greyed out).
2) In the Utility folder crack open Network Utility and ping this: 64.142.120.111 the address for just-ping.com. They won't mind! Do you get dropped packets or does the ping return? If the packets are dropped, then your AirPort has no connection to the net. If the packets successfully return, then your IP connection is good, but you have no DNS service.
3) Open Safari, enter 64.142.120.111 into the address field. Does it resolve to just-ping.com? Again, if it does, then your connection is good, but you have no DNS service. If it times out, then the internet connection is NFG.
Let us know!

Hi
Welcome To Lenovo Community
I presume that you have got preinstalled windows 7 System, Which you upgraded to Windows 8 now you have downgraded to windows 7. I have few questions & suggestion
How you downgraded to windows 7 using Recovery System or using windows OEM Disk
I am presuming that you have used the OEM disk, I would suggest you to use the OKR feature to restore to factory default by press F11 button during Post i.e.. When Lenovo Logo is displayed and follow onscreen instructions
Have you created a set of recovery media? If yes you can use these to recovery your system
Note: Before using above steps please ensure you have backed up your data
Hope This Helps
Cheers!!!

Last night Chrome and Google 1+ locked down my pc because I disconnected plus one. I could not even get to Norton. This morning I talked to Norton and they moved my system to FF, I have two accounts Donnie p grant and Donnell Grant. I play Mafia Wars and a browser must be compatible with Client Addon. I am a gamer and had always used FF but was having trouble and switched to Chrome. When Norton moved my files back to FF she downloaded them but I can't get everything back to where it should be and I do not understand so much of it. Please help me set my FF account back up. Thank you

First time Blackberry Used Pearl and can't get email working, please help
I have been wanting to try a blackberry for a long time, and was waiting for the Bold, but i got an opportunity to try the Pearl for a good price. I am with ATT and got it today, have the plan, but when I put in the PIN and IMEI it is registered to someone else, so how do i set up my email account?
ADDED: I did get a blackberry.net email account created but the phone still has the other persons name listed below the icon and is linked to her, how do i change this? Thanks again
Message Edited by cindyh on 08-17-2008 10:05 PMHi and Welcome to the Forums!
The reason you can't log in is that, when you had your carrier set up your GMail, they created a BIS account for you. Further, they created BIS credentials on that account -- which are then needed to access the BIS configuration screens even on the BB. You need those credentials. Contact whoever it is that set it up for you and have them tell you those credentials.
Good luck!

Hellooo Apple Community!

Can someone please tell me if iTunes can be downloaded and installed on "Windows 7 Home Premium" and if so, how?! I need iTunes asap, I have an iphone 4 running ios 6.1.3. Please get back to mee!!
Thankyou thankyou thankyou!
Natalie.I just tried running the Lenovo Hard Drive Quick Test both in normal mode and in safe mode. Both times it indicated a failed read test on the HDD. The last two tests also failed. I forget what those tests were called.
I am really beginning to think I have a bad HDD and the problem just happens to be in the reserved partition where my factory system software resides. -
Ipad was forced into Recovery Mode and I can't get out. Please help me!
Hi all. I'm dealing with a problem and could really use some help. I recently updated my Ipad to ios 4 with no problems and was enjoying it greatly. Afterward, I loaded Pages and Atomic Browser from the app store.
Anyway, I was surfing the net on Atomic Browser and then turned the ipad off momentarily to grab something from the kitchen. When I came back, the Ipad would not start.
I'd push the power button but nothing. Push and hold the power button. Nothing. Push and hold the home button. Nothing.
After many attempts, I decided to push the home screen button with the power button to force a reboot. I did this once a few months ago, and it just restarted my ipad fine. But this was before i updated to ios 4.
After doing this, it gave me the recovery mode screen with the pic of the usb cable pointing to the itunes logo. It has never done that before.
I don't want to reformat my ipad, i just wanted to turn it back on. I tried to exit recovery mode by holding the power button and home screen again, but it just keeps me stuck there. Nothing I do can get me out.
I don't want to reset the ipad and restore a back-up because I will lose some valuable pages documents I created recently.
Can any one help me?
Thank you all very much!The same thing happened to me. After the big update, I also experienced exactly what you described. I ended up restoring the ipad a number of times.
The first few times, I restored from a back-up. The last few times I have restored the ipad as new. It would work the next few times I turned the machine on, and around the third time, it would lapse back into the recovery mode, with
the image of the serial cord connecting to an i-tunes logo on its desktop. This morning, I restored the ipad as new, but only allowed the apps manufactured by Apple to be synced back onto the ipad. I have powered it back on about three times, and so far, so good. I am waiting to see what happens the next few times I turn the machine on.
I had a very helpful senior Apple express advisor help me on Sunday to do the restore as a new ipad procedure. He said that if that did not work, the next step was having it serviced. He also mentioned that often the third party apps have problems due to getting corrupt and this often happens after a major update. That is why I thought i'd try and see what would happen if I only synced the Apple apps back onto the ipad.
It is not good though if I can't put third party applications on it without having the problem of lapsing into recovery mode, so I may have to get it serviced. I am wondering how many others have had this problem after the big update last week? Also, has anyone who was an early purchaser and got the flat-rate unlimited data plan subscription from AT&T, had to have their ipad replaced? Was there a problem with AT& T still allowing you to continue your special subscription plan? -
I have spent so much time trying to restore my I phone 3 as aple sent the link and have logged on connected the phone to itunes but cant go any further as it keeps asking for password any ideas on this problem?
Hello Knoeller13
The way to get passed the passcode is to restore your iPhone. Follow the steps in the article below to put your iPhone into recovery mode and then use iTunes to restore it. If you have a back up within iTunes or iCloud, you can put the back up back on and the passcode does not come back.
iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to shut down.
While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
Continue holding the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.
iTunes will alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then restore the device.

<Edited by Host>You can upgrade to Mountain Lion
Upgrading from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion
You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99.
If you sign into the App Store and try to purchase Mountain Lion but the App Store says your computer is not compatible then you may still be able to upgrade to Lion per the following information.
Upgrading to Mountain Lion
To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
OS X Mountain Lion - System Requirements
Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later
2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later
3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later
5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
Are my applications compatible?

am in tanzania.
Am in need of a copy of DVDdrive for a macbook pro OS. how can i get a copy, please any one to helpIf you are referring to the original system reinstall discs that shipped with every Mac before Lion came out you'll need to contact Apple with the serial # of your Mac and order a replacement set of them.
Or look on one of the Auction websites or places like iFixit.com for a replacement set.
If your Mac came new with any of the Download Only versions of OS X, Lion, Mt Lion or Mavericks you don't need any discs to reinstall OS X. You use the Online Internet Recovery system or the built in Recovery HD partition inb the internal hard drive.
For the built in Recovery HD hold down the Command + r keys at startup. For the Online system hold down the Command + Option/Alt + r keys and keep them held down until you see a globe on the screen. -
