Connection problems this afternoon/evening...

Is there some maintenance going on today in the Midsomer Norton/Radstock/Bath area? Everything has been fine for months up until this afternoon (rock solid 37.5mbps down and 7.5mbps up). But this afternoon it is constantly dropping, the router has an amber light on most of the time instead of blue, connection has a burst of performance for a few seconds then either drops completely or goes to dial up speed. I've had it once before on a Sunday where it went mental for 24hours, just wondering whether this is scheduled or has someone cut through a cable somewhere....

Hi Sanity
Just to let Toekneem have another laugh - I've been unable to access the internet up to 1pm - went out in disgust - came back tonight and things are working.
All right round the corner here Michael
Earlier in the brief moments I could connect - neither speedtest or BT speedtest could register an upload speed - yet during all this time solid blue lights on the hub and green lights on the modem. I suspect my line was back to the 2Kbps upload!
Just make sure you don't call them out to play around with them wires in that fibre cabinet.
All the best
Michael.
Crazy isn't it, uploads fairly consistent here (about 6/8Mb and you on the same cabinet, closer than me (I think) getting very low upload speeds.

While I am NOT tech pro, I just refuse to sit by and not seek the answers to my problems. I scanned some of the other postings under various subject titles and found nothing of use to me....so now very tired after this long day of trying to get answers, I decided to reboot my playbook and have another look at the Wi-Fi under set-up and then under settings.........I have found the problem and corrected it myself! I went into the wi-fi under settings, checked to ensure wi-fi on...it was, then I clicked on the drop down menu (beside Select a network) and tabbed saved networks....there I looked over my saved connections and then tapped the connection I've been trying to connect to and reviewed all the info required for connection...
the profile name-ok,
SSID- ok,
Enable IPv6-left blank,
Use HTTP Proxy-left blank,
Allow inter-access point handover- uncheck'd this (yep this is what fixed it)
save and connect....YES!! we have connection to Wi-Fi via my router again!
I will do the same for my other connection as well.....

My Apple TV has been working fine, even earlier today. When I turned it on this afternoon, the TV indicated that "no signal" was being received. Restarted, unplugged, reset by holding menu and down button, etc. still no signal. Thoughts?

If your problem persists get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
    1.    Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
    2.    Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
    3.    Reconnect the power cable (only for Apple TV 3)
    4.    Open iTunes.
    5.    Select your Apple TV in the Devices list, and then click Restore.
(You may already have a micro USB cable if you have a camera or other digital device)

I am having ongoing connection problems with the Clash of Clans app which means that I lose battles, resources or boost times. This results in a loss of gems which I have purchased but will not be refunded as they will not accept responsibility.

Whilst playing Clash of Clans I will continually lose the internet connection. This means that I lose battles, resources, gold etc and lose boost times. I have informed Supercell who blame my internet connection even though the iPhone, laptop and TV all work fine so it is obviously a technical problem with their game and probably something to do with their last updates.
As I have purchased gems I feel that I should be compensated for my loss but they will not accept responsibility nor investigate the technical issue. The loss of connection occurs constantly with the game often freezing during replays or searching for battles. This is obviously not a connection issue.
What suggestions do you have to resolve this situation?

Hi.
Thanks for the reply. I asked because I also wanted to see if others had encountered the same problem.
I have no problems with my internet connection as I run my TV, laptop and iPhone off the same connection with no problems. I believe that since the recent updates to the game this has caused the problem. The game often freezes, cancels out or returns me to the main game screen during battles or replays.
What I want to know is how do I get the game designers or owners to acknowledge my problem as at this time they keep telling me it is my internet that is a problem and not their game. How do they know this when they refuse to investigate. What can I do and who do I go to for support if they won't accept responsibility?
I am very grateful to you for replying but concerned that if this can happen to me then how many other gamers are losing out and paying for something that they are not going to receive.
Many thanks.

When I try to access the itunes store I get an error message that my computer is not connected to the internet, even though it is. How do I fix this? Thanks.

For some reason when I open iTunes, and try to access the itunes store, help, my account, or anything else I get a message saying that I'm not connected to the internet, even when I know that I am. What's wrong?

Close your iTunes,
Go to command Prompt -
(Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
(Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
netsh winsock reset
Hit "ENTER" key
Restart your computer.
If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

I get a recurrent request to connect by wi-fi to another computer on my wi-fi network, even if I am already connected to this other computer by wi-fi. How do I get rid of this recurrent request?

I have two MacBook Pros on my local wi-fi network. I usually have these connected to each other over my wi-fi network. Normally, I only connect to my old computer (MacBookPro) from the new computer (MacBookPro2), so I can access files on my old computer that are typically not on my new computer. I use the same admin username (John Doe) and password on each computer. Currently, I have Mavericks (10.9.5) on my old computer and Yosemite (10.10) on the new MacBook Pro. All
I am now getting a recurrent request to connect to old computer even when I am already connected! When this request is being made, I am asked to connect to a username (johndoe instead of John Doe). The exact alert:
     Enter your name and password for the server "MacBook Pro".
     connect as     << button is pressed for Registered User >>
     Name: johndoe
     Password: _________
     << Cancel button >> << Connect button >>
When I enter correct user name (John Doe or johndoe) and password for my account on Mavericks computer, the connection fails (whether I connected to Mavericks computer or not), and I get the following:
     There was a problem connecting to the server "MacBookPro". The share does not exist on the server. Please check the share name and try again.
If I change to the proper share name John Doe and use the correct password, I still am not connected and I get the same failure message and am asked to use the correct share name again. If I cancel message, the connection message goes away for a while whether I am actually connected to old computer or not. It will then come back on the workspace I am currently using on my new macbook. When I am downloading files using terminal, the connect request comes up constantly if I continue canceling the message which is really irritating. How do I get rid of this constantly recurring request to connect???

It means you must be connected to your computer via Wi-Fi (or cable).
Or wait for iOS 5

My Apple tv has connection problems. I receive not connected to internet or home sharing not on even though it is

Apple TV is allways asking me to turn on home sharing, home sharing is allready on so I have turn it off and then turn it back on. Also it is telling me that it is not connected to the internet even though I entered my network key correctly and all my other Apple wireless devices are working perfectly. Any ideas please ?

Having reread your post, i note you say you connected the thernet cable to a wifi extender, are you by any chance using the wifi extender when trying wifi and by extender do you mean a WDS extended network. I have seen quite a few reports that networks extended using WDS have problems.
Although it may be a weak signal, are you able to temporarily disable WDS to see if this resolves the connection issue.

Apple TV Cannot Connect To This Library Problem

Hope someone can help... I had AppleTV and iTunes working just fine for months streaming from my PC to the AppleTV via a wireless connection.
I am able to see the AppleTV icon in iTunes and my AppleTV shows my iTunes library by name just fine... as it always did... even if I restart AppleTV and remove the apple tv connection from itunes, they always seem to be able to "find" each other requiring me to enter that 6 (or 5?) digit passcode.
So, I guess, I am saying that from at least an initial handshake between my AppleTV and my PC running iTunes, I think they talk just fine.
HOWEVER, the problem is every time I try to CLICK on my streaming library, for instance, I go to Movies -> Shared Videos, I get a constant spinning "Loading library" followed by a:
"Apple TV Cannot Connect to This Library" followed by a "Check your network configuration and connection".
So I am confused how the initial handshake can work, that they can see each other, but the loading of the library just dies?
I am running, as of today, the last software updates for both iTunes and AppleTV.
What caused it to break? My assumption is one (or both) of the following:
1.) I upgraded, at the same time, both the Apple TV and iTunes (for PC) at the same time.
2.) I upgraded my wireless router to the D-Link DIR-665.
Am I missing some ports that need to opened on the router?

I have the same issue, and it sounds like others may have similar. What's weird is I watched a streamed video on the 22nd with no issues with 10.5.5, iTunes 8.0.1, and AppleTV 2.1. I went to watch something on Monday night and had the same issue you did. I checked my Software Update.log and these were the only updates (changes) to my MBP since I had it working on the 22nd:
2008-10-27 17:32:45 -0400: Installed "Migration and DVD ⁄ CD Sharing Update" (1.1)
2008-10-27 17:32:51 -0400: Installed "AirPort Extreme Update 2008-004" (1.0)
2008-10-27 17:33:58 -0400: Installed "iPhoto Update" (7.1.5)
I did installed Boxee on Friday, but in troubleshooting this week I factory defaulted my AppleTV to 1.0, then did an upgrade to 2.2 and have the same issue.
I troubleshoot technology for a living, and this makes no sense to me--you can always find something that changed to cause and issue, and I can't find anything.
One more note, I did a sniffer (Wireshark) capture, and it reported malformed packets from the AppleTV to my MBP...now I accidentally deleted the capture and didn't dig further. Wireshark sometimes misrepresents normal things as issues. I will try and re-do the capture and see if I can did deeper.
Apple please fix this!

Apple, please fix your connectivity problem for the iPad Air 2! Your OS 8.2 did nothing to fix this!! Very frustrating to not be able to connect to wifi some days!

can someone from apple please address the wifi connectivity problems with the iPad Air 2??

thank you for responding. My specific wifi issue is that my connection will disconnect then reconnect in a matter of minutes of each other. After an hour of this back and forth dance of connections it finally stays disconnected. I can go two weeks without this issue then it will start up again for a day or 2. I have done all the basic troubleshooting.. Including checking and restarting my modem and router. Our iPad mini does not have these issues. None of our laptops/iPhones or xbox have connectivity issues. I have found many other iPad Air 2 users complaining of the same iconnection problems on various blogs. One blog had even discussed the ios update and how they were surprised it did not include a bug fix for this connectivity problem.

There is some troubleshooting for 0xE8 error codes on this page : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3221 - you could see if anything on that page fixes it

IPHONE 5: can't receive calls & random error messages, such as "could not activate cellular data network" and "no connection - network unavailable, please connect to wifi or cellular network." This occurs even when signal strength or wifi is operational.

IPHONE 5: can't receive calls and random error messages, such as "could not activate cellular data network" and "no connection - network unavailable, please connect to wifi or cellular network." This occurs even when signal strength or wifi is operational, and it does not matter whether wifi is on or off. ATT went through the standard protocol - resetting network, resetting sim card, etc. No changes. Other phones working fine in same region with same carrier. Apple's solution is to restore software, but haven't gone there yet. Anyone successfully addressed this/these issues?

I should point out that it worked when the iPhone was set back to factory settings, but when restored with the backup, data/internet no longer works again, and I get the "Could not activate cellular data network" error message yet again.

"There was a problem downloading the software fot the iphone. The network connection timed out."
there's no pblm with my connection but this error keeps on showing,
what to do? please help....

Stop with the silly and pointless fonts.
A simple search of the forums for the actual error would have revealed the resolution.
Temporarily disable all security software on the computer.

TS1702 I had this Scrabble on my iPad2 and began to have connection problems, it would lock in the "connecting" position. This is not the first time Scrabble has had problems with interface. Typically customers delete the Ap then download it again to rein

I have contacted EA about this and can find no help. I had this Scrabble on my iPad2 and began to have connection problems, it would lock in the "connecting" position. This is not the first time Scrabble has had problems with interface. Typically customers delete the Ap then download it again to reinstall it. During the process you sign in and approve the purchase KNOWING that another window will open saying that you have previously purchased it and that there is no charge. So what happened this time? It will not connect and all of my saved and current games are wiped out. I want my money back, this game interface is pretty junk and operates like some ancient DOS program,,bug,bug,buggy. I want my money back.

Go here:
http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/
and follow the instructions to report the issue to the iTunes Store.
Regards.
