Connecting iTouch to Mac wirelessly problem

In Remote App on iTouch, select new library on iTouch, iTouch appears in devices in itunes, click on it, itunes asks for passcode given by iTouch, enter it, wait a few minutes while itunes says it is validating passcode, then nothing happens. Please help!

I did a little digging and came up with this:

Before you start deleting applications. Hold down the Wake/Sleep button and power your iPod off. Power it back up and try syncing again. Some app problems can be cleared this way.
Seems to be an application issue. If you remember the last application you loaded, delete that first. You may have to delete most of them.

Connecting itouch via Linksys wireless router

My itouch connects to my Linksys router but cannot log on to the internet ("server not found"}. My macbook connects fine and my itouch connects to other servers without problem. DNS, router # all are displayed on the DHCP panel and look fine. Any ideas??

I'll repeat some steps to try that I posted in another thread ... some of these you may have done, but take note of #4, that's what bit me and I don't see that posted anywhere else.
1- Turn on SSID broadcast if it is turned off. Your Touch needs to see the network in order to connect for the first time. You may be able to turn SSID broadcast off at the end, if you feel its necessary.
2- Check the encryption type you're using (WEP or WPA) and whatever security code is being used. Make a note of that.
3- Check to see if you have MAC Address filtering enabled. If so, disable it temporarily.
4- Check to see if your router is set to only issue a maximum number of IP addresses. It bugged me for a long time why I could randomly get on my network sometimes, but not always. Turned out that my router was issuing a max of 4 IP addresses and when my Touch couldn't connect, it was because the max had been reached!
5- Now see if your Touch sees your network ID. If so, select it and enter the passcode from step 2.
6- If you're able to get on your network, check to see that your router sees the MAC Address of your Touch. Make a note of that address and add it to the MAC Address filter if you're going to turn it back on (see step 3).
7- (optional) Change your home network to use Open DNS (http://www.opendns.com/), which has nothing to do with your Touch's ability to connect to your home network, but has some nice security and administrative features.

Installing libproxy and connecting to a wpa2 wireless problems

Hi everyone.
For a very long time i have used ubuntu based distros. And yesterday i installed ArchLinux.
My problem is when i tried to install gnome-shell. I come across with a problem about installing libproxy, the key signature (pgp) error. After many researches i tried to change SigLevel to Never at /etc/pacman.conf. Then it gave key signature (checksum) error.
I tried "pacman-key --refresh-keys", "pacman-key --populate archlinux", "pacman-key --init", "pacman -Syy", "pacman -Syu" none worked.
Then i found on the internet that some guy was telling that it might be because of the net provider. You know some providers bans the word "proxy". So i decided to give it a shot and tried to connect to a wireless that is wpa2. And another problem arised.
Although i installed "netctl", "dialog", "wpa_supplicant" cant connect to a wifi. I can see but it gives connection failure. Dont know what to do.
Thanks in advance.

Ok i solved the libproxy problem by connecting to a router that is no banned the word proxy via cable. But the wifi problem still exist.
I dont know what to do but i checked lots of topics and tried both netctl wifi-menu method and iw method. Non worked.

Nothing happens when connect iTouch to mac - is the cable already dead?

Last week when I connected my (4 week old) touch to the right-side usb port, nothing happened, but then it connected fine to the left-sided port; bit funny I thought, but got on with my syncing etc. Today, nothing happens when I connect on either side. Do I have a problem with the USB cable?
Thanks in advance for any help...

Macs can get USB errors just like any other computer. Try restarting or shutting down and restarting and then try syncing again.

HP 8500 to connect with my mac wirelessly

Mac 10.6. I have not been given oppurtunity to enter router info during setup process and now its indicated that the ethernet cable is not connected but it is physically. The printer is showing active on my mac but is indicated as being offline.

OK, good, that is a valid IP address.
Make sure your Mac is connected to the same network, then reset the printing system:
- Go to System Preferences > Print & Fax
- Right (or control) click in the rectangle listing your printers and select Reset Printing System.
WARNING - this will delete ALL of your printers!
- Select the plus sign to re-add a printer. Select the Defualt tab on the top of the window. Look for the printer, select it and wait until the "Add" button becomes available. Click it.

Mac Wireless Mouse Connection Problem

My Mac wireless mouse and my MacBook Pro works very well. The problem is that every time I start my computer, I must always pair and connect through system preferences. It rarely automatically connects. Is this normal?

Hello waben:
Probably not. However, try clicking the mouse several times. That usually causes mine to "find" the Mac.

What am I missing here. I'm sure it is some kind of sitting that is not right.
Thanks Pat

Power off and then back on the router
What happens when you enter the network's PW?
Try forgetting/deleting the network if necessary. To do that go to System Preferences>Network>wifi>Advanced and select the network and click on the minus sign

I am not certain this will fix your problem but I suggest you assign the printer a static IP address.
Using the printer's front panel, select Menu > Network > WLAN > TCP/IP > Boot method, and change it to "static". Provide a static IP address that is on your LAN's subnet.
For example, if you are using an AirPort Extreme, you might give it an IP address of 10.0.1.100. If you are using a Netgear or Linksys router that defaults to issuing 192.168.x.x addresses, you might give it an address of 192.168.1.100. That way, the printer will always "reside at the same address" on your network. If your router has the ability, you should reserve that address so that the router does not attempt to assign it to another DHCP device.
Then, go to System Preferences > Print & Scan, and delete your existing printer with the "–" (minus) button. Add it again, using the "+" (plus) button. In the window that appears, select the IP pane, and from the Protocol menu select "Line Printer Daemon (LPD)". In the Address field type the IP address you gave your printer.
If all goes well the "Pring Using" field will detect the printer at that address and automatically select the appropriate driver. You will see something similar to the following screenshot ("name" can be whatever you decide, and "location" is optional):
Click Add, then you can close System Preferences.
There are other possible reasons your printer is "not responding" which could include wireless interference from competing wireless networks, but try this "static IP" method first. It should mitigate the problem.

I have my HP OfficeJet Pro 8500 A connected to my Mac Book Pro on a Wireless network. It works and

I have my Hp Officejet Pro 8500 A connected to my MAc Book Pro which is running Lion OS on a wireless network. It works just fine and prints and everything. The problem is a "HP Utility" window that pops up on my screen and says it is "connecting to device" and lists my printer. It just runs and runs and the entire thing is gray - meaning I can't close it, cancel it, or anything. When you try to click on it, the arrow becomes the color wheel of death. It is driving me crazy. I have gone through settings, I have downloaded the latest drivers, I have looked in utilities, I have opened the printer folder and can't find where this thing is coming from or how to turn it off. Please help. And yes I have turned offf the computer and rebooted.

If you are using Snow Leopard or Lion and have HP software for pre-Snow Leopard (either from a CD not marked as compatible with 10.6 or you recently upgraded to Snow Leopard or Lion and had the HP software on your Mac before you upgraded - even if you did a standard uninstall of the old software or installed new software over the top of it) you must uninstall the software using the 'scrubber' option:
Go to Applications/Hewlett Packard/ click on HP Uninstaller
Click on Continue
Highlight your device on the left pane
Press and hold Control + Alt + Cmd keys on the keyboard simultaneously while you click on Uninstall <<<< This IS the Scrubber Option, there is no button labeled "Scrubber"
There will be a pop up that asks if you are sure you want to uninstall ALL hp software. (At this point, if you continue, any HP printers you have installed will need to be reinstalled)
Click Continue and let it finish
Restart your Mac
Download and install this: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL907
Now reset the printing system:
- Sys Prefs, Print & Fax
- Right (control) click in the rectangle listing your printers and select Reset Printing System.
WARNING - this will delete ALL of your printers!
- Select the plus sign to re-add it. Look for the printer, select it and wait until the "Add" button becomes available. Click it.
If you want more features, you can download and install the Full Featured software from the "Support & Drivers" button at the top of this page, otherwise, basic printing and scanning will work without it.

Brand new ipod/itouch 4th generation won't connect to available hm wireless

I have a new 4th generation ipod touch. I also have a new computer using windows 7. I have set up the computer and wireless is working great. I have set up and synched the ipod to itunes without problems however, I cannot connect to my home wireless network. I have done the network reset. There is no option to "forget this network" that comes up when I click the arrow. I cannot access the support document that you provide in other links because it says it is "damaged". I have my wireless network password protected but my itouch will not accept the password. I know the password I am entering is correct because I used it to join my new computer to wireless and that worked fine. I have tried about 20 times to enter the password so I know that it is correct and it will not join. Please help.

I haven't gone running around town with my ipod trying to find out if it will connect to other wifi.
I've looked at those documents...that's how I knew to try all of those other fixes.
It is a linksys. That should not be an issue...as I said, it works fine with my brand new Asus Windows 7 computer.
A few things:
If you have read the Apple documents why did you say, "I cannot access the support document that you provide in other links because it says it is 'damaged'."? Also, who is you ?
Testing the iPod Touch WiFi on another network will give you a baseline as to whether the WiFi in your iPod Touch is working at all. If it doesn't work on other networks then it may need service/replacement.
What model Linksys router do you have? What kind of security are you using WEP, WPA, WPA2? How is it configured? (see my previous post for what's relevant). Is it 802.11g?, 802.11n? Do you have the latest router firmware?
Note also that just because one device seems to work OK on a WiFi network doesn't prove that the network is golden. Not all devices use the same features of the Wireless 802.11g/n protocols. Low-power devices are different than desktop computers.
Have you tried testing with security turned off? (This check is suggested in the Apple documents).

How to connect Photosmart C4795 to Wireless Network - Mac OSX 10.8.4

I am desperately confused here! When I bought the printer 2-ish years ago I was able to set it up and have it connected to my network no problem. Since then I have moved and updated my OS to Mountain Lion and lost my installation CD. As of now, this is where things stand.
When I turned the printer on and connected it to my iMac via the USB cable, the computer found it and installed it with no issues. I can print with no issues when the USB cable is plugged in.
Using the printers built in display, I have run the HP Network Configuration and the Wireless Network Test. The printer can see my network, but it won't connect to it. I have no bloody idea where I need to go to enter my network password so the printer can get online.
I've manually downloaded the HP Driver found at http://support.apple.com/kb/DL907 and that put the HP Utility on my computer (which was already there) but I don't see any place in the utility software that would let me enter my network password or even configure network settings for the printer.
My router is an Apple Airport Extreme, and the firmware is up to date. Everything on my computer seems to be up to date. I just cannot for the life of me figure out how to get this thing online. Any help would be greatly appreciated =)

Yup, there is no way to install your printer using OS X 10.8, sorry.
However, there are alternatives. Here is the easiest way:
1. On the front of the printer: Setup [Scan] > Wireless > Restore Defaults.
2. In the same Wireless menu, start WPS Pushbutton.
3. On your Mac go to Applications > Utilities > Airport Utility. Choose your Airport and click Edit.
4. In the menu bar at the top of your screen go to Base Station > Add WPS Printer.
5. Choose the FIrst Attempt mode, then Continue.
Now your printer should be connected to your wireless network. Next, go to System Prefs > Print & Scan, click the '+' sign to add your printer.

When i connect to wireless network it shows me that, mac mini is connected to wireless network but doesn't take ip address from dhcp , its show some self assigned ip which is 169.254.226.163, but my network address are 192.168.1.*, ethernet works fines,but in wireless even when i gave manual ip , it connect but i cannot connect to internet neither i can ping to router.
I tried various methods suggests in forms, like deleting network preference files in /Library/Preferences and ~/Library/Preferences and also deleting network connection and adding new one, even updating to 10.6.3 but nothing works for me,
My macbook nicely connected to wireless and get ip, even PC connect nicely this issue is only with Mac mini
Could have suggest me how can i fixed this, Thank you very much,
Best Regards,
Waruna.

Thanks DaddyPaycheck for your initial response. Before I jump onto the phone with Comcast couple of questions that I have for clarification purposes:
1) Are you implying that I must link my blabla.com address to that static IP address through my Domain Provider? See following example:
Record Type Record Host Record Answer TTL
A *.blablat.com >>Static IP<< 300
2) The current IP I have been given 60.172.151.254, why is that not static or how do you know it is not static?
3) When executing the command host in terminal for this IP address it returns the following: c-60-172-151-254.hsdl.co.comcast.net which coincidentally is the same as primary DNS it recommended during the initial configuration of the Mini Server. What does this mean? When I enter this in Safari it results in 'Safari can't connect to server'.
4) Executing the same command for my domain name 'blabla.com' it results in my 'internal' IP address '1.0.10.9'.
Thanks in advance for any clarification you can provide,
Tiest.

E3200 - Dropping wireless connection on the Mac

Pros: Gig Eth switch, no front-facing indicator lights, familiar web interface...
Cons: WiFi Protected Setup doesn't belong. Continually drops wireless connections to my Mac Book Pro (but none of my other devices), which worked just fine on the E3000 this unit replaced and works perfectly on other WiFi networks. REALLY SLOW web interface - average time to move from one page to the next is something north of 9 seconds. Again, never a problem with the E3000 that this unit replaced. Price? I wouldn't complain about price if this thing actually worked as expected.
Other Thoughts: I'm hoping it's just a flaky/defective unit and not indicative of the overall quality of newer Linksys products. Firmware isn't the issue - it's running the latest one from Linksys' site.

First of all please verify that you have got a 802.11n card in your computer. New generation routers (i.e. E3200) speaks an entirely different language with 802.11g cards, so while those adapters can work with the E3200, but they are not optimized to provide good performance. It is like having to translate from one language to another in real time when going from N to G.
Well, there are few things you should keep in mind with regards to N routers:
1) For the best possible speeds, you need to be using WPA2-AES as your security mode. Any other security mode will see your speed/range capped.
Any G devices in your wireless network will tend to hamper the performance of your overall network.
Ensure that your router is running the latest firmware from homesupport.cisco.com The new firmware includes performance enhancements and fixes.
The router by default uses a channel setting of auto, which means that it would keep switching channels depending on the interference. I’d recommend you set it to a fixed channel. Usually, 1, 3, 6 and 9 give you the best performance depending on your environment of course. I’d suggest you try different channels, observing each for a while, to see which gives you the best performance. You can follow the link here on how to change channels.

Mac OS X 10.4.9 Fixes Wireless Problems?

A few months ago, I had to downgrade from 10.4.8 because when I left the wireless on overnight, I would find it would be disconnected in the morning, and unable to reconnect without turning AirPort off and on again. This also happened when I was generally working away - first I would loose connectivity, and a few minutes later, the AirPort status icon would show I was disconnected. I'm now running 10.4.5 after noticing the problem starts with 10.4.6, but I was wondering if the latest version, 10.4.9, fixed this problem? So basically - does anyone who used these other versions and had the problems find that they are now fixed? If so, I'll finally download the update - but for the moment I'll stick with what I've got.
Thanks,
Robert

The wireless problems are not operating system specific, contrary to popular belief. They are specific to issues of bad firmware on the access points, loose wireless cards, or interference from external sources, or third party software that plays havoc with the wireless drivers. Here's my guide* to attempting to resolve most wireless problems. While I titled it 10.4.8, it has been found to affect not just 10.4.8, by every version of Mac OS to some extent and Windows too when certain issues are happening.
