Constant Problems with Ideapad Y510P Trials and Tribulations no one wants to help me with

My trials and tribulations with my Ideapad Y510P, this website, the Customer Service, and the Repair Department are as dauntless, perilous, and stressful as the journey up Mount Doom to cast the One Ring into the fiery depths to end the reign of chaos Sauron raught to Middle-Earth. It begins with my external/slide-in Graphics Card turning on and off and outright stopping to work and putting all the burden on the internal graphics card (of the same kind). Ultimately I'm told to try out SLI and come to this website to find a shoddy trouble-shoot resolution to try and trick the OS and computer to use SLI properly to share the burden of more stressful games and games all together (which I didn't even TOUCH; it's above my knowledge of computers). For a small time it works but in the end the external graphics card stops working completely and all the burden is given to the internal graphics card which it too stops working. Eventually my laptops screen stops working as well and the OS, I had to crack open an old monitor to see what was going on, on my computer, when I turned it on the lenovo screen was constantly flickering like something out of a horror movie or a foreboding warning of what was to come that I'm now dealing with. I figure I should install Windows 7 because at this point and my lack of knowledge I have no idea how to reinstall Windows 8 from a non-properly working laptop with no CD Drive. In the beginning I thought two graphics card would be perfect for more stressful games, sharing the burden to ease it so they don't overheat; well that idea and thought process was shot out the window and into a corner where it was beaten to a bloody pulp. So I remove the HD from the laptop, go downstairs to my Desktop and hook it up and install Windows 7 into it, in hopes of maybe resolving issues or trying to at least get to the desktop to figure something out. Well it absolutely did nothing. So I bite the bullet and send it into the "Repair Department" thinking WHAT. COULD. POSSIBLY. GO. WRONG. I get it back today at around noon with all my hopes and dreams to find out that instead of putting Windows 8 back into the Y510P I'm given a Windows 7 Desktop asking me for a CD KEY that I don't have, this isn't even the same CD OS I installed onto it but one from the Repair Department asking for a CD KEY I have no means of acquiring. I also find out that apparently it wasn't the Graphics Cards at all but the MOTHERBOARD. OF COURSE! (sarcasm) SO I CALL CUSTOMER SERVICE Customer Service tells me they can't give me the the CD Key because they have no correlations to the Repair Department (this is starting to sound like a bad divorced couple) so they can't give me the CD Key, let alone email it to me. So I ask to talk to the Supervisior (who is probably the nicest thing that has happened thus far in my trails of Lenovo and the Misadventures of O_Green_World). He tells me that the motherboard is set to work with Windows 8 best and that I can install BIOS for Windows 7 on the website and to reinstall my copy of Windows 7 the way I did it before giving it to Lenovo, and or waiting for this Windows 8 CD which isn't even an OS but some sort of way to contact the Windows 8 on the Motherboard to install it that way (which is being mailed to me now). Now here is my fresh new problem with this whole shindig. I've installed my copy of Windows 7 onto my Lenovo Y510P. It doesn't have the installation drivers for the Ethernet or Network Controller, under Device Manager they are under "Other Devices" in the Device Manager window. So I can't can't a Ethernet Cable let alone Wifi in order to go onto Lenovo's website to download Windows 7 BIOS/Drivers for Y510P. ALSO, ALSO, if the computer falls asleep it doesn't wake up at all I have turn off the computer and turn it back on. For all that is good in the world please, someone, somewhere help. [Edit] - I just had to seperate my **bleep** post because it posted it as a giant wall of text.

Hello Sachin,
Here is the latest version of the code , I have tried many. I am not familiar with code that is why I came from Dreamweaver to Muse. Laugh, it would make you cry.
Dreamweaver is advertised as wysiwyg which it certainly is not. Muse advertises that you can build a website without knowing code( as long as you do not want to put a  simple run of the mill animation on your site)! Having had my usual grouse I still love Muse as it does everything, well nearly everything it says it will do, and makes building a reasonable site possible for someone who has very little knowledge. Once you have sorted the code out I probably will need to talk to you again when it comes to uploading to server as I can see from the forums that this seems to be a weekness of the system also. Thanks for your cheerful reply to my utterly unreasonable previous communication and I look forward to you solving all my problems. I think' IT' is the only business in the world where people pay good money for products that don't work and are then told to go and chat amongst themselves on forums to see if they can solve the problems collectively. Couldn't resist that one I'm afraid. Old and grumpy! I hope you can access the code. I have no idea where it is but I copied it here in the html frame. I even find it difficult to use this forum. User friendly!

  • PE8 Trials and Tribulations

    This is the story of my four day experience installing and running PE8.  For some of you there are tips that may help fix your problems. For others you will simply relate to my experience.  For those considering purchasing PE8 I highly recommend that you do your homework before jumping in.
    I've been using PE4 for the last two years and was quite happy with the features and flexibility.  I consider myself a prosumer/serious hobbyist and have extensive geek experience.  My usual jobs consist of importing HDV video from DV tape that was recorded with a Canon HV20. I combine the video with still shots from a Canon 20D in JPG format, throw in some music, and make short (<5 min) videos.  I render and export in Widescreen DVD format (both PC and disk) and to H.264 HD format (both PC and Blu-ray disk).
    Last week I decided that I should finally upgrade to the newest version just to stay current. I didn't read any reviews or do any research since I've always had a high level of respect for Adobe quality. Unfortunately my experience with PE8 has not been good.  I've spent the better part of four days trying to get it working properly.  I've had successes and disapointments. Some of you may benefit from the fixes that I used and I hope they will get you going with a functional and stable platform.
    System:
    Intel Core 2 Quad (Q6600) native 2.4 GHz, overclocked to 3.0 GHz
    4 GB RAM
    1 TB striped RAID (RAID 0 for speed)
    Nvidia 8800 GT
    Samsung SH-S203B DVD RW
    Pioneer BDR-203 BD RW (Blu-ray)
    Vista x32
    Installed PE8, updated to the latest version of QuickTime (7.65.17), and went merrily off working on my first project. I immediately started having stability issues.  Crashes without any warning, crashes with "out-of-memory" messages, crashes with "unknown cause" messages, crashes to the BSOD, couldn't render anything without a crash, overloaded processors even when the program was idle AND after it was closed, etc.  Not good.  All this on a platform that is extremely stable with every other software package I run.
    After spending a couple days researching the issues I applied some system modifications that actually fixed most of the problems I was having. In fact the program only crashed once or twice following the changes - a tolerable frequency as long as I saved frequently. Prior to the changes it was crashing very frequently.
    Here's the steps that got my PE8 running stable (insert reboots in the usual places):
    1) Uninstalled existing QuickTime and Nvidia drivers (QT 7.65.17, Nvidia ?)
    2) Installed QuickTime 7.3.1 and updated Nvidia GeForce drivers to v195.62
    3) Uninstalled GeForce Stereoscopic 3D Driver (this doesn't affect your 3D gaming unless you use 3D glasses)
    4) Disabled the Auto-Analyzer "feature" in Elements Organizer
    5) Disabled Background Rendering in PE8
    After taking these steps the only really annoying problem that still existed is that "Adobe Premier Elements.exe" continues to run after closing the program. It hogs about 25% - 100% of the 4 processors but doesn't appear to be doing anything. And yes, I did leave it running overnight just to see if it would ever finish whatever it thought it was doing - nope.
    Overall I was very happy that the mods fixed 90+% of my stability issues.  I completed my 4 minute video without much trouble and then...I tried to render the final product.  The standard DVD quality rendering works great - in both PC executable and disk products. The HD 720p works fine in PC executable format. But the one thing that I really need to produce is H.264 or MPEG2 at 1920x1080.  In the final product everything seems to render okay and the video starts out okay but at exactly 30 seconds the audio cuts out.  The interesting thing is that I can start from any point in the video and the sound lasts for 30 seconds and then dies.
    I found a post where another person was having the exact same problem with standard resolution PC output and they were able to fix it by selecting the Advanced button to open the Export Settings, selecting the Audio tab, and then selecting MPEG for the audio format.  If you are having this audio problem you should definitely try the above fix!  Unfortunately, for the higher res HD output no such option exists under the audio tab.  There is perhaps a 3rd option to fix this problem and that is to buy another video editing program, read in the corrupt PE8 output and re-render. Apparently this has worked for some folks but I'm refusing to buy another program just to fix the errors of the editor I already have.
    In summary, if you are having stability issues try the fixes I've listed above. They could potentially fix your problems and get you up and running. As for me, I can't find a way to get around the audio problem and it's the one last thing preventing me from having a functional PE8. I plan to return the product (ordered from Adobe online) in the hopes that voting with my dollars will encourage them to fix the PE8 problems. My impression of the current version of PE8 is that it is an abomination that should have never been released. It is substandard even for a beta version.  If Adobe can fix their PE8 problems and create a editor that is half as good as their other products they I will be the first to sign up for a new copy.
    Good luck with whatever trials and tribulations that you may be experiencing with PE8. I'm glad that the program is working for some and for the rest I hope Santa delivers a serious PE8 patch!

    Please post "PE8 Trials and Tribulations" as a customer review on Amazon.com http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-65045377-Premiere-Elements-8/product-reviews/B002IJA1DM/ref=dp _top_cm_cr_acr_txt?ie=UTF8&showViewpoints=1http://.
    I have the same computer and have experienced the same problems as you have. If you are able to get PE8 to function properly you will find that PE8 runs slower than PE7 due to all the new features (useless fluff).
    You might also try deleteing any Reatek Audio drivers and allowing Win 7 to install it's driver, this seems to have helped my PE8 sound conflicts. I agree with you one hundred percent that PE8 should have been stabilized and the compatibility issues resolved before it was released. I guess things are done diferently at Adobe Bangalore.      

  • I have a password problem. After importing data and settings from one MacBook Pro to a new one, I have to put my iCloud password in when re-starting, but the password from the old computer in when waking the computer from sleep.

    I have a password problem. After importing data and settings from one MacBook Pro to a new one, I have to put my iCloud password in when re-starting the new computer, but the password from the old computer in when waking the computer from sleep. I want to use my iCloud password on both computers consistently. How can I fix this?

    The only other place to change a password for the computer login is in Users & Groups preferences. But I don't really know enough here to fix your problem. You can try fixing the keychain:
    iCloud- Frequently asked questions about iCloud Keychain
    Tutorial: Resolving Keychain Issues
    If you can't access your keychain, or forget your password If you can't get into your keychain file because you've forgotten your password or the keychain file appears to be corrupt, there are a couple of options.
    First, if you've forgotten your password, you can use the "Keychain First Aid" utility to make the keychain password the same as the login password. This can be accomplished via the following process:
      1. Open Keychain Access (located in Applications/Utilities)
      2. Go to the "Keychain Access" menu and select "Preferences"
      3. Click the "First Aid" tab
      4. Make sure the "Synchronize login keychain password" box is checked
      5. Close the Preferences window
      6. Go to the "Keychain Access" menu and select "Keychain First Aid"
      7. Enter your username and password
      8. Click the "Repair" button
    The second option is to completely delete your keychain then recreate it. This routine is useful if your keychain appears to be corrupt or otherwise inaccessible. This can be accomplished as follows:
      1. Launch Keychain Access (located in Applications/Utilities)
      2. Click "Show Keychains" in the lower-left corner of the window.
      3. Select the problematic keychain from the left-hand pane.
      4. Navigate to the "File" menu and select "Delete Keychain '(name of keychain)'"
      5. Check all options for deletion and press "OK"
      6. Create a new keychain by going to the "File" menu, then "New" and selecting
          "New Keychain"
      7. You can now make this keychain your default if you desire by selecting it, then
          going to the "File" menu and selecting "Make '(name of keychain)' Default"
    Login as root and perform repair In some cases, problems with keychains can only be resolved when logged in as the root user.
    First, you want to enable the root user:
      1. OS X Mountain Lion: Enable and disable the root user
      2. OS X Lion: Enable and disable the root user
      3. Mac OS X 10.6: Enabling the root user
      4. Enabling and using the "root" user in Mac OS X
    After enabling the root user, and logging in under this account, again open Keychain Access. First attempt repairs using Keychain First Aid, and failing that, delete then recreate the keychain as described above while logged in as root.
    Persistently asked for stored passwords If you are persistently asked for passwords in various applications that you have specified should be remembered in a keychain, your "login" keychain may not be active for one reason or another.
    Navigate to ~/Library/Keychains/ (this is the Library folder inside your user's home folder). Find the file named "login.keychain" and double-click it.
    Failing that, select the "login" keychain within the Keychain Access application and make sure it is the default keychain by going to the "File" menu and selecting "Make 'Login' Default"
    Turn off Keychain synchronization in applications having problems If specific applications are experiencing issues when accessing password-protected material, the Keychain may be to blame.
    The above comes from an article published on MacFixit.com.

  • Constant problems with Java since upgrade to OS X 10.7

    I recently purchased a Macbook Air with OS X 10.7 installed, now updated to version 10.7.5.
    I'm having constant issues with Java and repeatedly being told to update to the latest version, even when I have the latest version installed (now Java 7 update 9). I've visited dozens of forums and seen posts about the same issue, but none of the solutions work for me.
    I've seen variations of the following advice in several places:
    Apple disables the Java plug-in and Webstart applications when the Java update is done using Software Update. Also, if the Java plug-in detects that no applets have been run for an extended period of time it will again disable the Java plug-in.
    To enable the Java plug-in
    Go to Finder > Applications > Utilities > Java Preferences.
    In the Java Preferences window check the box for Enable Applet plug-in and Webstart applications.
    But I can't find anything called "Java Preferences" in my Utilities folder. I found a Java control panel in my System preferences, and it tells me everything is OK and running.
    I also see comments about emptying the cache (Java cache?), but can't find where it's kept. I also can't find where the Java plugins are stored. So what to do?
    Thanks for any assistance.
    Martha

    I went to the link on the Support website, downloaded the Java from there (Java for OS X 2012-006) and installed it. Then I went to the Java control panel in System prefs and the information is exactly the same as it was before I installed Java version 6. It still says I have the recommended version of Java (Java 7 update 9), which is what I installed a few hours ago.
    Then I went back to the website where I've been having problems today and went through the process of requesting a document from the Spanish tax authorities, which I've never had trouble with in the past (before Lion). I got the same results as earlier and the same page sending me to www.java.com to "download the latest version". So I'm back to square one.
    There's a comment on the page your link sent me to that mentions the "Missing plug-in" region on some web pages, but I've never seen this anywhere. All I ever get is a message telling me to update my Java.
    Is there another version of Java that would work better? If so, where can I get it?
    Thanks.

  • Constant problems with size of windows

    Guys, I am having this problem for 2 months already and it would be great if you could help... Maybe I just don't know something simple but anyway - I can't understand what's going on with size of the windows - in all programs, not just Safari. Before Mac I was using PC and everything was simple - there are 2 options - full screen view and smaller view that had fixed size and it was easy to switch between them. And when I made the window smaller or larger everything in it fit to the size and there were no problems. With Mac, something strange is going on. First of all, there is no such thing as full screen view - every time I open new window in any program, I have to drag the corners to make it full screen as it opens it as half screen. When I press on the plus button to make it smaller it makes the size very strange, very narrow and long. And again, I have to correct it manually. When I go back to full screen view it again becomes half a page instead of full screen. So, every time I have to change window sizes manually. And more than that, when I do that the page doesn't fit to screen. For example lets say I open document folder with icons - so when I make it smaller it cuts the part of the icons from the view and I have to rearrange them to see them all, And again, when I go back to full screen view the layout of the icons doesn't change - they are still arranged to fit smaller view. Also, in Word, formatting panels don't take the whole line and the page looks very weird and the rest of the line with formatting tools becomes empty and when I click on it it takes me outside of word, I hope you understand what I am trying to explain... Anyway, could you please explain me what's going on? Is there a way to fix window sizes? It's so inconvenient, I am starting to miss my old pc...:(((

    The Mac Window has never automatically filled the screen, even when the Mac could only run one program at a time. At that time most programs had a Window menu that could be used to switch between open documents but I think most users tiled their windows so that they could switch from document to document by just clicking on the document's window. When multi-tasking came to the Mac we had an application switcher (a menu in the top right hand corner) but still, most of us continued to tile windows and switch between applications by clicking on open windows. This habit is so firmly engrained in old Mac users that even now that we have the ability to command tab between applications, (not to mention Expose) you'll still see Mac users tiling their windows and switching by clicking on windows. When Mac users get together to complain about Windows, one of the things we all agree on is how limiting the Windows application layer is. We don't like fully maximized windows.
    Most applications automatically open a window just as big as it needs to be and no more. In other words, most word processor will open a new window so that the page can be display, but no further. For applications that have a large toolbar above the document area, this sometimes means you can't see all the tools but is this a flaw of the window logic or has the toolbar been stuffed too full?
    There are times when this behavior isn't entirely logical, or doesn't appear logical. The Finder is a really good example - a really good example of a really bad program. Old time Mac users who care/think about application design agree that the Finder has been broken since the first version of OS X and has only gotten marginally better through 5 iterations. Browsers are another strange bird because it is hard to know how big a browser window needs to be - it is entirely dependent upon the site you are visiting.
    While there appears to be no logic behind window behavior, there generally is - even in the Finder. Unlike Windows (at least pre-Vista Windows) there's really only been one window's logic - open to fill the entire screen. With the Mac the logic is more complex, but is generally grounded in logic based around ease of use.
    Your complaint about the Finder windows and icons is caused by the fact that you haven't set a default organization method. While in the Finder, open a window and set it for icon view, then select *Show View Options* the View menu. Make all the selections you'd like in the dialog but be sure to select an option for *Arrange by* and I suggest Name. From now on not only will the icons always arrange themselves in alphabetical order but as you resize the window the icons will automatically move around to fill the window rather than hiding off to the side. Note: the last choice is set as defaults and if you click on this, all windows that are in Icon view will use these settings. You can change the window each of the other views and set similar defaults for those views.
    I don't understand your complaint about Word - maybe someone else will or you could try explaining it again in more detail.

  • IPhone has constant problems with Computer-To-Computer network

    I use a Computer-To-Computer network to connect my iPhone with my MacBook Pro when I'm at the office. This enables syncing of Things and OmniFocus between my iPhone versions of these programs and the versions on my MacBook Pro. I have one of the original (2G) iPhones. I daily go to my Airport icon on my Mac's menu bar, click on Create Network, and set up a password. I'm using 40-bit WEP.
    This sort of syncing procedure worked fairly well until iPhone OS 3.0. Ever since then, it's been completely unreliable. I've tried changing the channel a number of times, and of course rebooting both the iPhone and the computer dozens of times. It's still a problem.
    Anyone heard of this networking problem with 3.0? Any info appreciated! Thanks.

    yes, i have been having problems with computer to computer networking to iphone as well. for now, the only thing that keeps a steady connection is removing the sim card, so keep a paper clip handy.

  • Constant problems with logic 8 (only in last 2 weeks)

    Hi,
    I've been using logic pro 8 since the day it came out, and have had hardly any problems with it.
    Now all of a sudden it is crashing all the time, sometimes it just totally loses sound and my monitors just click and pop, or other times i get random 'blasts' of white noise through my left monitor!!
    I put snow Leopard on a few days ago and it appears to be worse than ever for crashing now.
    Anyone else had similar problems or know what the deal is here?
    Many thanks
    Tom

  • Constant problems with external HD used for time machine.

    I have had numerous problems with my backup disk and can't seem to solve the problem... I often get errors with disk not ejecting properly, sometimes when the iMac has gone to sleep, sometimes not. Often the Mac won't recognise the disk when plugged back in (it recognises the other partition though). I can get the disk in disk utility sometimes, but if I run repair disk it finds a lot of errors and tells me it can't fix the disk. I'm told to Backup, format the disk etc.
    Running yosemite on a 2008 iMac - disk is Hitachi 1TB usb powered (plugged straight in to iMac). I have prevented spotlight from indexing the HD.
    Any advice ideas? Thanks in advance.

    I can't because it's a specific type.
    Is it hard-wired to the enclosure? If not, examine the connectors and compare with what is available. I doubt that it has a connector that is unique to this particular drive.
    If you choose to replace the drive, don't get another manufacturer-branded external. They are often "crippled" so that they can't be used in anything other than the generally cheap enclosure in which they are packaged, or only usable if you re-format them. Here's a comment from a recent Macintouch thread on new Seagate 5TB externals (http://www.macintouch.com/readerreports/harddrives/index.html#d23mar2015):
    A word of warning for those who want to rip out their drive. If you have data on it, it will only be read by Seagate controllers such as its original case or the GoFlex adapters. If you stick it in something like an IcyDock, it cannot be read and require a reformat. If you used it with another controller, it cannot be read when you put it back on the Seagate controllers.
    A good quality enclosure, such as the OWC Mercury aluminum cases, is a good investment. You can choose the drive you install, and you usually get a better drive warranty that way.

  • Constant Problems with ITunes

    I have two continuing problems with ITunes which are incredibly annoying.
    When I start Itunes on about one in three occasions it immediately shuts down again.
    And it regularly shuts down after ripping a cd but without ripping the final track of the cd - and this happens irrespective of the number of tracks on the cd.
    I have tried reinstalling itunes but it does not cure the problem.
    Never had any problems with previous versions of ITunes. GRrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!

  • Constant "Problem with Shortcut" Every Time iTunes updates

    Sorry to vent, but this really bugs me.
    Ok, this can't be hard to fix and isn't hard for ME to fix when I update iTunes, but this is REALLY, REALLY, REALLY annoying.
    Here's the issue. Every time iTunes updates itself, it invalidates every Shortcut for the executable. I get "Problem with Shortcut" Windows Window and which says "This action is only valid for products that are currently installed."
    This happens EVERYTIME iTunes updates itself, which seems very often.
    It is really, really annoying. And it ONLY happens with iTunes (no other software - for example Firefox doesn't do this), which says to me that Apple can't be bothered to make sure that the path to their new executable is the same as the old when they do the update. Actually, now that I look at it, it looks like it is somehow deleting the path in the existing shortcuts when it updates, which sounds like a bug.
    Any decent usability testing would find this and quickly fix this, but this happens on EVERY windows computer I have EVERY time iTunes updates itself, and it has been there for at least the last 5 upgrades, so I know it is not a 1 off thing only I am seeing.
    Please, please, please fix this in your next patch.
    Thanks.

    Add me to the list of the angry. Safari on Windows does this too.
    Apple apps are the only ones I've ever seen on Windows to do this. I don't even understand how/why it happens - does it take the time to find all the shortcuts (which are separate files it would have to search your HD for) and deliberately break their paths?! If Apple are going to make windows applications, it'd be nice if they swallowed their pride and learnt the windows platform and its norms. 99.999% of other software vendors have figured out how to make shortcuts that work...
    The worst thing about this is that the error message (admittedly, I think it's a windows message) gives the impression you have to reinstall iTunes! A quick Google search shows that a fair few people think that's the solution.
    *If you're getting this problem: there's no need to uninstall or reinstall iTunes!* the problem is with the shortcut only, not the program. To fix it, find a working shortcut to iTunes (as mentioned above, there's normally a fresh one in your start menu somewhere) and drag it wherever you need it, then delete the old one. If you can't find a working one, browse to "program files"->"itunes" on your hard drive, select itunes.exe, go to File->Create Shortcut. A new shortcut will be made in that folder, that you can put wherever you like.

  • I have had constant problems with my Verizon broadband internet service, and can only assume I will need to cancel my contract.

    According to Verizon, my family is somehow using 15 to 16 GB of data per month on our unlimited data plan, sometimes more. This is a jump from 4 to 6 GB in the spring of 2012. We have done nothing to justify such a huge surge in data usage per month, but I don't seem to be able to get any satisfactory answer from Verizon as to what's going on. Our time spent on the Internet is no different than it's ever been. Last month, customer service tried to suggest that a virus we had had on one of our computers must have caused the computer to suck up data without our knowledge, but the virus is gone and our data usage just keeps getting worse. To make matters even more painful, such high "usage" causes Verizon to slow our UNLIMITED data service to such a snail's pace that we can't get anything substantial done online. And, for some reason, we now constantly lose our signal. We are connected via USB, which is a poor way to connect, granted. But it worked fine in the spring of this year. In fact, it was faster than anything we had had previously. Go figure? I tried to download Java last week, and the computer indicated it would take 15hrs to download. What a waste!
    Apparently, my only option is to switch to MiFi (we are in a rural location lacking DSL) for my household. And this will cost me at least $60 more per month. Why, pray tell, would I want to pay more money to solve a problem that Verizon cannot satisfactorily explain to me if there are no guarantees MiFi will work any better? I cannot get my money back if it fails to improve our situation. And what about the supposed data usage? Am I supposed to believe that my kids' Facebook time combined with our internet surfing eats up 3 to 4 times as much data as it did only a few months ago? I don't think so. Something is not adding up here. Oh...I do have one other option. Home Fusion broadband added to our account for even more money per month.
    Bottom line? Spend more money that I don't have for unreliable service, with what I believe to be bogus data usage charges. I think I just need to cancel Internet service, paying the fee for breaking my contract of course, and take my business elsewhere.
    Anyone else having these sorts of problems? What have you done about it?

    Regardless with what carrier your with you might have the same issue, My recommendation would be to get a router that will help you with viewing live traffic and keep a tally of your usage and any device connected to your internet connection.  You can go with the peplink balance 20 and be able to look at your traffic by the hour, daily, weekly, monthly or yearly.  Look for trends, see what computers or devices are doing what I attached a screen shot so you can see an example of mine.  You can purchase the router at 3gstore

  • I have a new 64G WiFi Ipad 2 and have constant problems with internet freezing.  It is not my router as my other products including and iTouch work fine.

    I have had this problem since i got the iPad home.  It is set up exactly the same as my iTouch (that I have had for some time with no problems)  I updated the SW yesterday to 4.3.5 and there is no improvement at all.  I can surf for a while then the IPad freezes.  Even updating Apps is almost impossible with my iPad as I lose connection with ITunes constantly.
    This is driving me mad and I am now regretting buying an IPad at all.

    Try the following to see if they help.
    For Safari try clearing it's cache : Settings > Safari > Clear Cache (and Clear History)
    Try closing all apps completely and then re-open them : from the home screen (i.e. not with any app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the each app to close them, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    Then do a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
