Adobe creative cloud desktop is not detecting my internet connection?

adobe creative cloud desktop is not detecting my internet connection?

i connected with the adobe people through 'contact an agent'.
very helpful, they remote managed my desktop to fix the issue.
apparently something to do with permissions not activated for adobe, not sure how and why this happens though, or why it was fine earlier and suddenly stoppped.
they insisted it was to do with being on a wifi connection but that's not possible because i have my laptop right next to my desktop and that was working fine.
it took about four hours to fix though, so be patient!

I have downloaded itunes, however everytime I open it up deos not detect my internet connection even though it is running?

I have downloaded itunes, however everytime I open it up deos not detect my internet connection even though it is running. I can goto other sites when I open up explorer, but itunes just will not connect. Could someone assist? I have windows 7.

Set it up with SMB compliant names.. that means, short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
Set a different name for 2.4ghz and 5ghz..
Set security to WPA2 personal with pure alphanumeric password.. 10-20 characters is usually plenty.
Set wireless channel for 2.4ghz to manual and try channels 11, 6, 1 in that order.

Applescript to detect network/internet connection?

I created a simple app using Applecsript to mount my iDisk volume on startup.
mount volume "https://idisk.me.com/username"
Works a treat and I use it on my iMac and Alu MacBook. However, there will always be a situation where I'm connected to a network, but not the internet - EG: My universities Wireless network, where I have to goto the student login page before internet access outside of the university system is granted.
So for the Applescript on my MacBook I want it to detect if it has an internet connection. I was thinking possibly sending a Ping to the idisk location. Anyone have any idea how to do this?
Thanks

Oh yes I am aware of the network icon rather than the iDisk icon. But I did it this way for security reasons.
If I had my username and password in the script then anyone who got hold of the script could just double click it and have full access to my iDisk. This way, the computer its running on must be connected to the corresponding MobileMe account for that iDisk.
I'm also not too fussed about the icon, I set a custom one (copy paste into the get info box) which thankfully remains persistant across all machines that connect to match the rest of the pack I downloaded. http://cavemanmac.deviantart.com/art/OLED-Drives-144076760?q=&qo= (if you're curious)
I also had no idea that Applescript automatically detected errors when doing a shell script. So on 100% packet loss it ended the script then and there.
Thanks
Works a treat

Latest version of Itunes doesn't detect my internet connection.

Itunes doesn't detect/see my internet connection. I reloaded it twice, When in Itunes, I can't download anything from the Itunes site. No tutorials,no software updates, nada! I tried it in the previous version of the Itunes setup too. Same problem.
I have an HP laptop, Vista Home premium (works fine anywhere else), Nortons 36O (disabled), ATT DSL
I am running Firefox too, and tried to connect with Internet Explorer 9.xx, didn't work either. Some of the messages indicate that the Proxy Server info is missing/incorrect as configured. This is out of my league. I don't have enough background to TS this issue myself.
Seems like a sporatic, but common problem with other users as well. I need Itunes to run, correctly so that I can fix my Iphone. The limited diagnostics found in Itunes tells me that the phone is ok and communicates with the test software. But I can't get any deeper than that.
Thank you for your help.

I think you're missing the point. If you rip or purchase music at 128k, 256k, 320k etc. then there is no benefit to be had converting it to Apple Lossless. The files will get bigger but the data thrown away to make the previous lossy version cannot be reclaimed. If, on the other hand, you routinely rip in .wav or .aiff then you should end up with smaller files of the same quality which is indeed worth the effort.

Detect enabled internet connection sharing (hotspot usage) on Windows Phone 8.1

My WindowsPhone 8.1 application displays the current network/internet connection (e.g. the SSID/connection profile when connected to a WLAN). For retrieving this information, I use the following snippet:
var ssid= ""
foreach (var connectionProfile in NetworkInformation.GetConnectionProfiles())
if (connectionProfile.IsWlanConnectionProfile && connectionProfile.GetNetworkConnectivityLevel() != NetworkConnectivityLevel.None)
ssid = connectionProfile.ProfileName;
break;
I'd like to show some additional info when the phone has internet sharing enabled (acts as hotspot). What's the most reliable way to find this out?

Hi Ronald,
I think there is no way to detect if windows phone enable the internet sharing, if you want customer know the current state, you can consider about this:
How to use the connection settings task for Windows Phone 8 to navigate user to the connection setting page.

How to detect an Internet connection?

I want to create an application which calculate the time of a Internet connection but I don't know how to detect it! Help me, thanks.

Not surprising since there is no such thing.
Connections only go from computer to computer. When you send email your computer connects to a computer. And it sends the email to it.
When you try to connect to www.yahoo.com your computer connects to a computer. It gets an address. Then it tries to connect to that address.
And every time I said 'connect' about there are very likely other "computers" involved in the transaction.
And if any of those devices fail then you won't connect.
Notice in the above that there is no "internet". There are just computers and connections.
So now that you know what is happening you will now know how to code your own solution.
Or you can provide more detail as to exactly what you are trying to determine so that a more specific answer can be given.

LELA Not Detecting an Internet Connection, yet is connected?

I use a WRT54GS wireless router, and recently it's been going slow. I went to go restart the router as we had to so many times before, and realized that the internet was not connected(or at least, that's what it said). So I figured, oh, that's why it's not working! After going through the restart process 3 times, I still couldn't connect. I looked down at my taskbar and it said that I had an internet connection. So I clicked on Internet Explorer and to my surprise I was indeed connected to the internet.
So now, I sit here typing this, on the computer which is supposed to have no internet, and cannot send an internet connection to any of my other wireless devices because LELA says I have none. I've tried reseting the modem and all that, but to no avail. Any help as to why this is?

Thank you very much jscell and Dr. Clap
No, because that is a conceptual rather than a realconcept<
I tend to disagree somewhat � it is a conceptual as
well as a very real concept. I am using this concept
and it works(still in the trial phase though). The
only problem is the pop-up Windows dialog box.Yes but you computer doesn't connect to the "internet". It connects to another computer. That is all it can do because that is how IP works (tunneled or not.)
>
If you want to monitor traffic via java then youwould have to use JNI.<
Thanks for this. I�ll have a look at this. A piece of
code to get me started on this would be appreciated.I am not sure it exists. But if you want you can look at http://netresearch.ics.uci.edu/kfujii/jpcap/doc/index.html
>
And you should be able to configure it so that itdoesn't ask you, but just automatically makes the
connection. How?<
Yes Dr. Clap, you may be right. I was hoping there was
somehow a way out without fiddling around with the
property settings. I am sure there is, but not in java. So doing it in java would require JNI (and a lot of digging to figure out how to do it using the windows C API.)

Detect wireless Internet connection in AIR application

Hi All,
I am facing challenges to determine whether Internet connection is available over a Wireless connection. Even if I am connected, I get the status as Not Connected.
However the same is working absolutely find when I am connected to Wired network.
Can any one advice how should I proceed?
I am using the below code for tracking network connection:
     //check for network availability
     NativeApplication.nativeApplication.addEventListener(Event.NETWORK_CHANGE, onNetworkChange);
    monitor = new URLMonitor(new URLRequest('http://www.google.co.in'));
    monitor.addEventListener(StatusEvent.STATUS, announceStatus);
    monitor.start();
    requestLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, requestCompleteHandler);
    requestLoader.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, requestErrorHandler);
    requestLoader.load(request);
    requestLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, setInitStatusMsg);
The corresponding methods have been set to set the boolean flag.
Thanks,
Hitesh Patel.

Hi All,
Thanks for your inputs.
However I resolved the issue. The problem was with my code. I somehow missed the "requestCompleteHandler" function and hence when the request was completed the status was not refreshing. Its working fine now.
Thanks,
Hitesh Patel.

Easylink does not detect internet connection

Please help. I have a wireless G broadband router model wrt54g. I've had it for about a year in a half and used it maybe twice. I just ran the setup and got an error saying easylink does not detect your internet connection. I went on line to make sure I was connected and followed the steps to resolve this issue. I got a message saying congratulations your router was configured succesfully but you are not yet connected to the internet. I went online to try and get help with this issue and downloaded firmware. My comptuer won't even allow me to run the download, it just does nothing when I click on it. Could someone please advise me as to how to get this router to detect my internet connection. Thanks

Who is your Internet Service Provider..?
Are you getting the internet connection,when you connect the computer to the modem directly...?
If your Internet Service Provider is Cable follow this link
If your Internet Service Provider is DSL follow this link

Desktop software cannot detect internet connection

I've successfully installed destop manager on my home computer (Windows Vista) and synced with Outlook. Tried to do the same on my office computer (Windows XP). All went well until I tried to sync for the first time. I got an error message saying that the desktop manager could not detect an internet connection.

This was fixed, See: "The computer must be connected to the Internet in order to initially" page 5.

WRT54GS - no internet connection detected yet my wired computer connects to internet through router

I have had my router for a little over a year. I am connected to a wild blue satellite modem. It has worked with no problem for a year. Now, it claims to not detect an internet connection, although the computer wired to the router has no problem connecting to the internet. I just cannot connect wireless to the internet because the router thinks it has no internet connection. I have reset several times, powered on and off modem, followed all instructions for troubleshooting. All lights are lit on both the modem and the router. Do I need to replace the router, or would I encounter the same issues with a new one?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

My other computer is connecting now, although EasyLink still shows no internet connection. However, as long as I can get a connection, I do not care. I have no idea why it is working now and not before. I do not know if my husband's laptop will connect yet, but something seems to be working.

WRT54G Ver 6 Internet connectivity problems

Alright so here's the deal.
I'm on Windows XP with Verizon DSL (in Orange County, CA) that uses a Westell modem (just modem, not modem and router combo).
I have the old Linksys BEFSR41 v.2 router that runs with everything fine.
I just bought the WRT54G Version 6 and connected everything up as needed. Powered things down and then back up. And it could not detect an Internet connection, but I could access the router via web browser.
- Ran the Setup CD and it couldn't find the internet.
- Upgraded the firmware.
- I searched the forums and did not find a successful solution.
- Called my ISP to confirm it is DHCP.
- Talked to Linksys Support via phone and he had me do all sorts of stuff. Releasing, Renewing, Local IP Address changes, pinging, MAC, etc. All this to try to get some sort of IP address with the internet.
- Tried it with a diff WRT54G Ver 6 (Yeah. I bought two. One for me, and one to bring to my parents), and it still didn't work. (Can't be that both the routers I got are defective.)
- Searched forums some more and ran across the EasyLink program. I used it, and it tells me my freaking Wired adaptor is disabled. Where do I enable it? Can't be my computer because it all works fine with the old Linksys router I got....or could it?
- Powered down and back up in many different combinations.
Did all that to no avail. Anyone got a solution? I couldn't find anything that worked. I'm about to go return this and get something else tomorrow. Maybe if I wake up, there will be a workable solution that is replied back.
Thanks in advance to all those that tried to help and posted something, or didn't post due to having no solution.
- Chris

Yup Yup Yup. I tried the WAN address thing and it still didn't work.
I was about to pack everything up and go return the stupid thing. BUT.....I decided to talk to Verizon DSL support since I hadn't tried that.
They helped me out good!!!
Here's the solution.
I plugged in the old router, the BEF, and went to Status to click the DHCP Release. Then unplugged the old router.
Then per Verizon DSL support instruction....powered down the modem, then powered it back up and waited for lights to stabilize. Then I plugged in the new router, the WRT. And went to Status (IP was already autofilled, with internet working) but I still clicked DHCP Renew.
It all works. WOOOOOO!!!!
By the way. The WAN address thing is important. I went to it on the new, WORKING router and disabled the WAN address. The internet stopped working. I re-entered in the WAN address I copied and the internet worked again. So......yeah.
I hope for all those out there having the same problems as me, and without a solution, see this thread and try this.
Thanks again for your guys' help.
**edit**
By the way. Is there a way to stop my internet to being a stickler to this MAC address? I'm just curious. I'm gonna go google MAC address and see if I can read anything useful.

(Tutorial) Share your Internet connection

Share my Internet access of the Wi-Fi via an Ethernet cable (RJ-45) to another laptop/PC.
Please follow the following steps:
1. Connect your shared laptop to another laptop/PC by using an RJ-45 Ethernet cable connecting to each other.
2.At first, you’ll see both systems show the network is limited. It’s normal.
3. In the system of the shared laptop, right-click the Wi-Fi icon and select Open Network and Sharing Centerto open its window. Then, click your Wi-Fi network.
4. In Wi-Fi Status window, select Properties to open Wi-Fi Properties window.
5. In Wi-Fi Propertieswindow, select Sharingtab and check Allow other network users to connect through this computer’s Internet connectionto share the Wi-Fi.
6. Now another computer which connected to your shared laptop should automatically detect the connection to Internet.
7. If another computer still shows the network is limited, please select Diagnosebutton to ask Windows for help and follow the instructions to fix the problem. Usually, the Windows will reset the Ethernet and re-detect the Internet connection again.
8. Instruction ended.

While turning cellular data off will keep your phone from connecting to cellular data WHEN wifi disconnects, it DOES not keep the Galaxy Note 3 from continually disconnecting from wifi. This only results in repeated periods of no data connectivity.
Turning off cellular data does not fix the wifi stability issue on the Galaxy Note 3. It will simply connect to wifi for a time, drop connection, reestablish a new connection for a time, drop connection, etc... If you are using a data connection during the cycling period, your app will simply come back with a message that no data connection is available and to try again later.
This is a major reason I have discontinued use of a Galaxy Note 3.

Configure internet connection - how to use compute...

Hi All,
Just received a new Nokia phone with GPS and installed OVI suite.
I tried to figure out how to use my computer inter setting to get content for my phone (maps etc..).
The OVI suite doesn't detect my internet connection used on my computer but always tries to connect using my phone.
There exists the manual option but I don't know which setting to fill in: "access point", "user name" and password.
These seems like a very simple thing, but I didn't figure it out.
On my computer I have a LAN connection and wireless connection. Don't know why OVI suite doesn't detect these automatically.
Thanks for any suggestions.
Bart
ps: I already learned from my internet searches that OVI suite is no fun to use.

For any content other than Maps.. Download it on to your PC.. Then connect the phone to install it... For Maps... connect your phone to PC using the USB cable (PC Suite Mode).. Launch OVI Suite and go to Maps in its Menu. After some time the Phone will set up and when the OVI Suite connects to the Maps server you will see the list of countries.. Select the Maps you want and follow instruction on the screen.. It will be downloaded and installed on the phone in due time. It will not use the Phone internet but the PC's internet connection...
BTW which phone do you have ?
