Do you have a problem connecting to Wi-Fi? (iMac Mid 2011 Model)Mac OSX Lion 10.7.3
Did you just start up or restart your mac recently? If you did you might have experineced a problem with your Wi-Fi. I was unable to access anything that required Wi-Fi. So what I did was I restarted my iMac and my Wi-Fi was working again.
What might have caused the problem
A. The Wi-Fi chip did not start or restart (During the process of Starting or Restarting your iMac)
B. It could be a bug in Mac OSX Lion 10.7.3 or lower.
I hoped this helped you out
If it was previously working then try a smc and pram reset.
If that doesn't fix it then see if vlc can handle the video.

Problems with FileVault 2 on my iMac mid 2007 with Mac OS LION on it
Hi guys !
Get a problem with FileVault 2 on my iMac mid 2007 with MAC OS LION on it. FileVault 2 works, but after rebooting my system, it was unpossible to select an account with the cursor of my trackpad. No chance.
Before activate Filevault 2 the trackpad works fine. No problems to select an account. Anybody else with the same problem ?
Regards
VolkerHi EVO67 !
I checked out your solution, but.... sorry it doesn't works.
So I cut off the bluetooth connection of the magic trackpad from my iMac and pair it again, but the problem is the same.
May be it's bigger bug with LION, so I need an update for this function.
But thank you very much for your help.
Regards

I just upgraded to Mountain Lion after purchasing Apple TV yesterday from Best Buy.
I have signed in on the same wi-fi network (comcast 30mbps)
I was able to see photos from my wifes Iphone but not my IMac or Mac Air
Both computers connect but I am only getting audio.
I updated software on Apple TV
I shut everything down and reset my router. My Mac Air 13" 2012 was able to see the desk top but not anything that I was doing and then it disconnected.
I also tested the internet speed on the Apple TV but it just told me it was finished. (no results)WEP as a security measure is laughable nowadays. Even a kindergarten kid with a netbook can crack the password in a few minutes. Try using WPA2 if available on the device. And the Macs will be quite happy connecting with that protocol.

I jus got a MacBook pro and Im having trouble connecting to my schools network. It is not secured and only requires to login with school id. A Window pops up to sign in but it never loads anyone know why I'm having this problem? Doesn't have a problem connecting to any other wifi
"This is a flaw in OS X Lion. It does not want to connect to open WiFi that has a login page that open in a browser."
Nonsense, no problems logging in at sites that you mention. I use OpenDNS servers. For the OP try:
System Preferences>Network>Advanced>DNS. In the left side column click on the + sign and insert the following:
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
Then click OK, then click Apply. -
My early 2009 Mac Pro does not connect via bluetooth to my sound bar or bluetooth mini speakers. Both my wireless keyboard and mouse have no problems connecting. What do I need to do to connect to external bluetooth devices?
I would always have a wired keyboard and mouse on hand (need not be expensive ... any cheap wired devices will work). "Emergency recovery" procedures can activate features in random order, so the opportunity to select a recovery partition may pass before the wireless devices are recognized.
That will let you select the "turn on Bluetooth" icon. -
My time capsule seemed to have given up so I have just got a net gear router, I have no problem connecting wirelessly but when I connect an Ethernet cable it says it's connected but pages will not load
Do a factory reset .. nothing will be deleted from your backups and you will be able to get access to them again.
The Factory Reset Gen1-4.
Unplug your TC. Hold in reset. and power the TC back on.. without releasing reset for about 10sec. When the status light flashes rapidly; release it.
Be Gentle! Feel the switch click on. It has a positive feel.. add no more pressure after that.
TC will reboot after a couple of minutes with default factory settings and will wipe out previous configurations.
No files are deleted on the hard disk.. No reset of the TC deletes files.. to do that you use erase from the airport utility. -

Hello GJSCHUBERT,
Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities. The easiest solution may be to simply restart your router, but you can also see these resources:
iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
Check to see if you have a self-assigned IP address:
1. Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and locate the Wi-Fi network to which you are connected. Then tap .
2. If your IP address is 169.254.xxx.xxx, see this article.

my ipad wont accept any passwords, i am unable to connect to my wifi even though my password is correct and other laptops etc have no problem connecting.
The ipad can find my wifi connection but just wont accept the password. connected with no problem in the Apple store.
any suggestions,
thanks.Does the iPad connect to other networks?
Does the iPod see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iPod connect before?
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on the router
- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

I have a problem connecting to the server (SSL problem) on my new Apple Ipad (iOS6). When submitting my Apple ID password, I am prevented from signing in to a secure connection due to an SSL problem. Any suggestions ?? Thank you!
Sounds more like you have a problem with your apple id. For starters go to that page click manage my apple id and singn in. If you can't sign in reset password.
https://appleid.apple.com
if you can sign in there, try to sign in to itunes on your computer. -
I have 6 other apple devices that have no problem connecting to my network, but my Apple TV will not, any ideas?
1: Unplug / shut off the router for 30 seconds
2: Retore or unplug apple tv (If you unplug it, let it sit for 30 seconds as well)
3: If all else fails try moving the ATV and router closer to each other, if nothing works I would consider it a defect as Apple products generally have great quaility and you never know what goes on behind warehouse doors! -
I'm having a problem connecting my BlueRay DVD player and other non-Mac devices to my AirPort Express network. Is there a limit on the number of devices I can connect to the wireless network? I never have a problem connecting a new Apple product (AirBook, iPad) and even a basic laptop. Thanks for your help.
The AirPort Express Base Station (AX) can support up to ten (10) simultaneously connected Wi-Fi clients.

i have a problems while purchasing or download a free item in apps store or itunes, it said that you have a problems with previous purchase, it also said that my payment method was decline.,..
Hi shldr2thewheel,
it has been a while since we have last spoke, I would like to let you know, I am still working on getting used to the switch from windows to a Mac/Apple system. I do have a new question for you, I did purchase In Design CS5.5 through journeyed.com through Cuyahoga Community College of which I attend as a student, is there a way to purchase an online book through iTunes to learn that as well? Also, you know me, the struggling student, I would also, when and if the book can be purchased through the iTunes, would need to know if you do know of a much easier book for struggling students like myself and at a reasonable price as well for the In Design CS5.5 program. Our campus bookstore had closed early, and, so did the colleges library and our local library here where I do live, so, I cannot go to either place to purchase a book or to take out a book, plus cash funds are low at this moment as well but, I do have money left on the iTunes account to use, if it can be used. So, can it be used, the iTunes money, towards finding a low priced online book? I am in great need of assistance as I have a project due for my one course for this Tuesday, September 4, 2012.
Sincerely in need of help once again,
