Connection now killed where it use to work great.

For the past year, I have used Time Capsule as my wireless router and got a good signal in the opposite end of the house (obviously better when closer to the TC but good enough to surf the web). Now it doesn't connect at all in the 2 rooms it use to but still does in the rest of the house.
Things I've tried:
Hard reset, New Network Name and Password.
Deleting keychain info
Deleting things in the SysPrefs-Network as well creating a new Location
Every 2.4GHz channel (1 to 11) as well as automatic
Using the 5GHz with various channels
Changing from WPA/WPA2 Personal to just WPA2 Personal
Please offer help as I can not understand why it one day reaches that room and now doesnt at all yet still works fine everywhere else. This is the room where I use my laptop the most and I stream music from the TC hard drive so now I live there in sad sad silence.
Thank you!

The probable cause of your problem is that other homeowners near you have added wireless networks, wireless devices like cordless phones, security systems, and any number of other things that are starting to create interference with your wireless signal.
The solution might be to add an AirPort Express to "extend" your wireless signal strength, since I doubt that you will be able to convince the neighbors to turn off their wireless network and their cordless phones. I say might, because there are never any guarantees with wireless. You just don't know until you try.
Even better would be to add an AirPort Extreme and connect it back to the Time Capsule using an ethernet cable, but your home construction may not permit this. If it does, this is by far the best way to increase the coverage of your wireless network because you can locate the AirPort Extreme exactly where it is needed.
If you use an AirPort Express to "extend" the signal using wireless only, you'll need to locate it approximately 1/2 the distance between the Time Capsule and the area that needs more coverage. Everything is a compromise here, but often this is the best that you can do.

  • Hello I recently downloaded an app on my iphone 4s - Remote mouse- so i can control my laptop that is connected to my tv, it used to work fine and now the connection fails, I downloaded another app and the same problem occurs, its not the firewall

    Hello I recently downloaded an app on my iphone 4s - Remote mouse- so i can control my laptop that is connected to my tv, it used to work fine and now the connection fails, I downloaded another app and the same problem occurs, its not the firewall and both phone and laptop are conected to the same wifi, i also tried to connect it manually with the ip address and still no connection, can you help??

    Close all open apps by double-tapping the home button, then swiping up and off the screen with the app window (not the smaller icon).
    Then reset: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until you see the apple, then let go.(No data loss) Try it again.

  • 'Connection Error' Sample RTMP video used to work, now no longer works?!

    Hello All,
    I had FMS 3.5 developer package installed on my server installed about a month ago. I used to be able to go to the /webroot/ page to see the sample RTMP video play and it worked great. Today, I go to view that page and find that it no longer plays. I get "Connection Error. Please preee Play to try again."
    Pressing the play button does nothing, so I click the RTMP thumbnail and it reloads ony to give me that same error again.
    I can click the HTTP thumbnail and see the video play just fine. But, I want RTMP and after over an hour on the phone with my managed hosting tech, we can't find anything wrong.
    Here's the thing: I haven't done anything, I have not changed anything, I have not manipulated the server software whatsoever. It just stopped working and gives me "Connection Error."
    I checked that port 1935 was open, and it is.
    UPDATED:
    When I click on the RTMP thumbnail, after the 'Connection Error' message comes up in the player, the following things happen in my server's error log:
    "File does not exist: /folder/folder/folder/fcs"
    "File does not exist: /folder/folder/folder/open"
    The corresponding IP is my own.
    The /folder/folder/folder/ corresponds to my public_http folder and related file structure for the website, NOT the RTMP server. I have no idea why the F
    MS is looking in my public_http for fcs and open, but it is.
    Thoughts?
    Please help? Many thanks in advance!

    SE,
    I'm logged on using PuTTY, my server is Linux and I did in fact get to view the log files.
    I realize the sample page ought to be discarded as a concern, but I was hoping I might learn something from this.
    I don't have the knowledge to try another RTMP player/client, I am brand new to this. I have Flash CS4 Professional, but I need to learn what to do to build a .SWF to play a sample file.
    As for player development, I have been doing research on which might be best for me. In the short term I just need a basic player. In the long term, a player with insertable banners (for in-house promotion and identifiaction, not for ads) and a chat function. The banners may not be necessary as I want the player to be located in a stand-alone page as opposed to a pop-up, so I can do banners in the page itself.
    I have looked into REOPS and Strobe, but the tech is written in engineer-speak so most of it is zooming right over my head. I'm self-taught with PHP so I know this all can't be THAT difficult. The jumping-off point is hard to find though. I need something in human-speak that's a wee easier to understand. A basic player would be lovely right now. I don't even care about skinning, just colors.
    Using the command to check if FMS is running leaves me with 4 lines of info: 5-digit number, ? 00:00:00 fmsmaster (fmsedge, fmscore, fmsadmin)
    Does that mean it isn't running? If so, what can I do to restart it and worse, why would it have stopped?
    Thanks for your help!
    Sincerely,

  • Iphone 4 voice Dial used to work great, but now, I can't get it to recognize voice commands. When i give it a command to call someone, it ends up repeating someone elses name and starts the call. Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

    I have an I phone 4 with 32g.  The voice dial used to work just fine, but now it doesn't recognize the words and ends up saying someone elses name and starts calling the wrong person.  It even won't recognize a number when spoken to it and speaks back and calls the wrong numbers.
    Lately, the phone has really slowed down.  I am not sure if this is the problem.. I have closed all the open apps and deleted any extra picture off the card and extra songs that I have downloaded and the slow problem still exists. 
    Would a reset work to restore the phone to factory settings and if I then resync the phone, would all contacts pictures and songs be restored?

  • IChat used to work great but recently....

    Hello all,
    I have been using iChat since the day it came out, several years ago, and it has served me wonderfully well. I have loved it for communicating with family all over the world as well for work. Essentially, it has worked without a hitch for years. HOWEVER, recently it has been failing to connect with regularity and this is beginning to try may patience.
    I am based in Japan and I have been having difficulty connecting with people in this country, UK and Australia. Sometimes, I can get through with persistence, sometimes not.
    Sometimes it is as simple as a restart of iChat, sometimes it takes a reboot and sometimes dumping the iChat related plist files has worked BUT not always.
    Thanks to Ralph Johns for his comprehensive site, I have made sure that all parties have relevant port settings on their Macs and routers.
    I am beginning to wonder what else there is we can do.
    Usually, the problem is recorded as a -20 error but of late has mainly been -8 errors. All users have high speed broadband connections and although use them wirelessly, have also tried connecting directly.
    As said before, it used to work without a hitch for years.
    One strange thing that has appeared my end, is the local iChat window displays a plain white band across the top where the connection details used to be, as it is trying to connect, and only rings once where it used to ring continuously until the connection was made.
    Have been thinking that recent 'fixes' to QT and Safari may be the route of the problems but have run out of ideas of things to try, to sort it out.
    The switchers who I convinced to get Macs on the strength of iChat communication capabilities, are now calling me names! Any help would be very much appreciated. Many thanks.

    Boot Camp in itself should not be an issue in itself
    Sorry maybe I wasn't clear. The MacBookPro is running Tiger and just has windows on the other partition. I just wondered whether that had something to do with the errors.
    Using AIM 6.5 in the Window install may be as lots of people have problems with this. (AIM in fact says it does not work but about 30% say they can get it to work)
    I don't think AIM is being used. I believe they have a mac ID and only attempt to use iChat with Tiger. They were/are a windows switcher and did so primarily to use iChat. As stated everything used to work really well between all parties until about the beginning of the year. (related to updates perhaps?). These issues are beginning to given them serious doubts.
    Can you go to System Preferences > Software Update and Installed Updates > Open as Log Button and Copy and Paste it here ?
    Personally, I never use Systems Update. I always, repair permissions, download the individual installers, then repair permissions again. In the past I have explained to the other users that this is the safest way to update, so they may have been doing the same thing. Certainly, there are no log details recorded my end in 'Log Button
    Can you do the same for each end so we can see if there is a common factor ?
    I will ask them to check, but this may not be possible until the weekend.
    Thanks for your suggestions.

    Recently I've started using the iTunes Remote, that works great, but it shows all the songs. is there any way to fix that?
    Any way to change the setting in which it will only show the Checked songs?
    Thank you very much

  • Cannot see Airport Express when connected to Cisco corporate wireless - used to work, stopped cooperating recently

    I have had an Airport Express at my office for several years to stream iTunes. It has worked fine, including through an upgrade to a new Cisco wireless network. Then it just stopped. I have reset, and then purchased a new AE with updated firmware. I have a green light, and when I connect via an ethernet cable I am getting all green lights, and can see that I have a valid IP address on the network, the router address is correct and the DNS servers appear to be correct. I still cannot see the AE on any Apple device connected to the wireless network....... any ideas? Is this connected to any recent IOS updates? Thanks for any insights......

    Found similar (unsolved) issue in the thread below.

  • I am currently using firefox 6.0 and whenever I select to open a existing tab in another new window, or attempt to drag a tab to another window firefox hangs and never responds. This used to work great, but now its worthless. Any ideas?

    help !!

    You do not have the properties in the Bookmarks Manager (Library), but you should have it if you right-click a bookmark the Bookmarks Toolbar or in the bookmarks sidebar.
    On Mac you probably do not have it if you right-click an item in the Bookmarks menu (this menu is under control of the Mac OS), but I assume that this should work if you click the "Show your bookmarks" button on the Navigation Toolbar that is next to the star to bookmark the current tab and right-click an item in the bookmarks list that opens.

  • Xacti HD and Final Cut Express -- It used to work great! How do I go back?

    I have a Sanyo Xacti HD700. It gives me 1280x720 MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 files, which my Mac just loves. I used to be able to quickly edit the clips together in Final Cut Express, export using complementary QuickTime settings (specifically, those recommended by Vimeo for HD playback), and get beautiful MP4 files, relatively quickly.
    Then, one day, a friend needed me to edit a quick video using a DV camcorder. It was confusing as heck getting the footage into FCE, and not particularly elegant getting it out. But, the project was done overnight, I washed my hands of it, and wanted to get back to making beautiful MP4 files again, relatively quickly.
    Except I can't! Now, for one, encoding takes hours. Hours! My source videos and export videos are very similar, yet I sit and watch as the estimate for completion actually goes up for an hour before slowly coming back down.
    And frankly, that would be fine, except now my exported videos are the wrong size. They include letterboxes, and the video itself is squished, stretched. So I wait four times as long for a ghastly video. The best I could do is use the Quicktime export settings to "crop off" the letterboxing, but there's still some black bars and it's just not the same.
    Here's how my videos used to look:
    http://vimeo.com/1067235
    Here's how an exported video looks now:
    http://vimeo.com/1655414?pg=embed&sec=1655414
    What happened? Out of the box, everything worked perfectly. Now, tainted with actual tape, Final Cut Express seems like it's running my videos through six extra wringers and giving me clips worse than I'd get just cut-and-paste editing the Xacti files in QuickTime Pro!
    I Googled my brains out, and all I've learned is, if I had Final Cut Pro, "Project Settings" would have all the switches I need. Well, I don't have FCP, just FCE.
    Somewhere, something was set that I want to unset. Can anyone help? Do I have to delete every trace of FCE and just reinstall?
    Mahalo for any advice!

    It sounds like you didn't change the settings after you made the DV video. Did you switch it back to 1280x720 and make a new sequence in that format? Check item properties for the sequence you edited. What does it say? Also check item properties for any media you captured since working in DV.

  • Panasonic PV-GS250 used to work great with my MAC

    In 2007 I purchased a a Panasonic Digital Camcorder (PV-GS250) and it worked like a dream with my Macbook Pro. Purchased an IMAC (Oct 07) with Leopard OS, the dream continued for both. I hadn't edited for a while and had a new project I was working on. As usual and it loaded like a dream, then my dream became a nightmare, because the playback was incredibly distorted. I don't know if any else has a similar problem but I need help. Not sure if a driver will fix it or what???? Any suggestions????

  • When I import photos from my digital camera in iPhoto 7.1.5 all i get is empty squares. Used to work great

    Just recently, I went to import some photos from my digital camera into my iPhoto 7.1.5 version on my Mac. All I am getsting is the amount of pictures on the camera in the shape of blank picture holders on the screen.  I hooked up the same camera to our son's mac and it has no problem importing pictures. I had some on a USB stick and am having the same problem.

    As a Test:
    Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
    Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

  • I use VPN to connect to my school. FX 3.6 worked great, FX 4 b not.

    Hello there,
    I use VPN to connect to my school, it used to worked great with my previous version of FX 3.6 in Windows XP.
    I am now using a new PC with Windows 7 and FX 4 beta, but VPN would not work. I installed JAVA successfully but this did not solve the problem. VPN at my school uses JAVA or ActiveX. Please advise.
    Thanks.

    Hi
    If you're trying to connect using the server's name you have to know which host server to use to resolve the name. If you don't know simply use its IP address:
    eg: instead of: smb://servername
    use: smb://IPaddress (this would be the private non-routable IP address)
    This should work? Depending which VPN Method you're using to Tunnel to the host network and how the host network is configed it may not do name resolution that well.
    If it used to work in the past it may have been because a static entry for the host network's DNS Server was placed in your Network Preferences Pane? Or if your connection was via PPTP or L2TP appropriate LAN settings were assigned once the connection was made to the host site? In other words a set of IP addresses matching the host site's LAN IP topology.
    Perhaps the current method you're using now of building the VPN Tunnel is via IPSec IKE/ISKAMP? In which case you may have to 'tell' your remote network which DNS Server to use at the host site for name resolution.
    A possible reason why it 'works' for the Windows side is because name resolution - most of the time - gets by without using fully qualifiable domain names. For example pinging an IP address in DOS to find a name works (most of the time) if you simply supply just the server name. This is not necessarily the case on the mac.
