Enable wireless doesn't work like expected

Hej,
When I press my wireless-button on my laptop, a popup shows up saying "Wireless hardware enabled". However, I have to click the "Enable wireless" checkbox in the networkmanager applet to really enable wireless networking. I don't think this is how it's supposed to be and find it actually quite annoying... Can anybody confirm this?
Cheers
Locke

You don't even mention what is installed/used on your system (looks like one of the big DEs)....

My new iMac has recently had OSX Lion installed on it and now when I start the machine it looks like its updating something every time, and the wireless doesn't work. So I restart and everything is OK - until I have to start up again the next time?

My new iMac has recently had OSX Lion installed on it and now when I start the machine it looks like its updating something every time, and the wireless doesn't work. So I restart and everything is OK - until I have to start up again the next time - then I have to repeat this again! Any help appreciated.

I've been having the same issue, but have just discovered something on my own that hasn't been pointed out in any of the forums I've visited. In what I thought would be a vain attempt to help myself, I went to System Preferences, Users & Groups, and then clicked on Login Items. I discovered that one of the Items that was listed to open automatically upon login was iTunes Helper and that there was an exclamation point beside it indicating that it was incompatible. I simply deleted that item and now I don't have the situation you described and my wireless is connected. Hope this helps!

My Canon MX 922 does not scan. My printer is connected via cable. Wireless doesn't work either.

My Canon MX 922 does not scan. My printer is connected via cable. Wireless doesn't work either. I get an error message with multiple suggestions but none of them apply to my situation.
I am so dissatisfied with this printer. I'm sorry I got it from Amazon because now it is a hassle to return it. I will never buy another Canon.
The printer menus are confusing. I hate using it. I loved my previous Canon which finally stopped working after many years, that's why I purchased a newer Canon model. Never again. Stick with cameras.

This note won't be as angry and frustrated as the last one...
Because I still had my old printer drivers and other applications on my hard drive, I think the application was trying to connect with the old printer. I deleted all the old stuff.
I also had several scanning applications on my drive which just confused me.
When I used the actual Canon MX922 application, I was able to scan but could only save as JPG, TIF or BMP (and one more, I forget which). So I did some research on the Canon site and found out how to save documents as PDF files using the Canon IJ Scan Utility.
It works now. So I'm satisfied, will keep this maching. I just had to take some time, sit down and focus on the problem.

HT204088 If I buy an app, and it doesn't work like its suppose to, can I get a refund, ?

If I buy an app that doesn't work like it is suppose to, can I get the $6.99 refunded back to my iTunes account ?

If you've tried contacting the developer and not had a response then you can try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account (Store > View My Apple ID on iTunes 11) and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find that app and click the arrow to the left of it, click the 'Report a Problem' link and fill in details about the problem (iTunes support should reply within, I think, about 24 hours).
Some people have had a problem with the 'report a problem' link (it's been taking people to this site on a browser instead of showing a form in iTunes) - if it does that to you then try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page.

ArrayDeque as a stack doesn't work as expected with complex objects

Trying to use ArrayDeque as a strorage for complex values <PSList<PSol>> (i.e. Arraylists of structured Values PSol), this doesn't work as expected. The code below should produce different values of pSLWk, being stored on bkStack, which are then to be retrieved by pop() to the variables pSL1, pSL2, pSL3.
However, retrieval only ends up with three identical data sets (variables) pS1,pS2, pS3.
        public PSList<PSol> pSL;
        private ArrayDeque<PSList<PSol>> bkStack=new ArrayDeque<PSList<PSol>>();
        pSLWk=new PSList<PSol>();       // Constructor copies some Array (static field) to the PSLists
        pSL=new PSList<PSol>();
        pSLAux=new PSList<PSol>(pSLWk);   // Constructor copies from existing PSList
        pSLWk.checkResult("pSLWk prior to setDefaults - modifies pSLWk !");
        setDefaults();                                                            // Modifies pSLWk only
        pSLWk.checkResult(" pSLWk after setDefaults");              // .. got changes (o.k.)
        pSL.checkResult(" pSL after setDefaults");                  // .. unchanged (o.k.)
        pSL.checkResult(" pSLAux after setDefaults");               // .. unchanged (o.k.)
        bkStack.push(new PSList<PSol>(pSLWk));                      // store changes in bkStack
        pSLWk.getEl(77).setVal(new StringBuffer("4"));              // change pSLWk again (value 4 @ 77)
        pSLWk.checkResult("pSLWk, after PUSH, THEN modify 4@77");   // .. got change (o.k.)
        pSL.checkResult("pSL after setVal 77");
        bkStack.push(pSLWk);                      // store changes in bkStack
        pSLWk.getEl(80).setVal(new StringBuffer("8"));              // change pSLWk again (value 8 @ 80)
        pSLWk.checkResult("pSLWk after setVal 8@80");               // .. got change (o.k.)
        pSL.checkResult("pSL after setVal 80");
        bkStack.push(new PSList<PSol>(pSLWk));                      // store changes in bkStack
        pSL1=new PSList<PSol>(bkStack.pop());
        pSL1.checkResult("pSL1 after 1st pop");
//      pSL1=bkStack.pop()                                          // Straightforward way doesn't work either...
        pSL2=new PSList<PSol>(bkStack.pop());
        pSL2.checkResult("pSL2 after 2nd pop");
        pSL3=new PSList<PSol>(bkStack.pop());
        pSL3.checkResult("pSL3 after 3rd pSLWk=..pop()");Here the result from the code above:

Rem: I tried the simple approach as well:
bkstack.push(pSLWk);

Thank you for your comments, although I see we still don't have a common understanding of the problem.
Firstly, I add the code for the PSList and the PSol classes, so you might find some problem with that:
     public class PSol     {
          private StringBuffer val;
          private int zI;
          private int sI;
          private int bI;
                    // == Konstruktor
          public PSol( StringBuffer v, int z, int s, int b )     {
               this.val=v;
               this.zI=z;
               this.sI=s;
               this.bI=b;
                    // == Getter,Setter
          public StringBuffer getVal()     {return val;}
          public int getZ()     {return zI;}
          public int getS()     {return sI;}
          public int getB()     {return bI;}
          public int getVSize()     {return val.length();}
          public void setVal(StringBuffer v)     {val=v;}
          public boolean hasVChar( StringBuffer ch, boolean delCh )     {
               boolean bT=false;
               StringBuffer fSt=getVal();
               if (!(fSt.indexOf( ch.toString() )     == -1))     {
                    bT=true;
                    if (delCh)     {
                         setVal(fSt.deleteCharAt(fSt.indexOf( ch.toString() )));
               return bT;
     }     // PSol
     public class PSList<E> extends ArrayList<PSol>     {
               /**     Construktor 1: PSList(v,z,s,b) - makes list from single arrays
          private static final long serialVersionUID = 4711L;                         // ### JAVAC Warning! ###
        public PSList (String[] vS, int[] z, int[] s, int[] b) {
               StringBuffer[] v=new StringBuffer[valDim];
            for (int i=0;i<valDim;i++) {
                v=new StringBuffer(vS[i]);
//ArrayList<PSol> pSL=new ArrayList<PSol>;
               for (int i=0; i<valDim; i++) {
                    this.add( new PSol( v[i], z[i], s[i], b[i] ) );
/** Konstruktor2 : makes list from matrix array
public PSList () {
for (int j=0; j<nDim; j++) {
for (int i=0; i<nDim; i++) {
this.add( new PSol( new StringBuffer(sGuiArr[i][j]), i, j , i/locDim + (j/locDim)*locDim) );
                    /**     ------- Construktor 3 : PSList(PSList pS) - makes list as a copy of an existing one
public PSList ( PSList<PSol> pX )     {
               super (pX); // ArrayList-Constructor (Collection)
// get Element <PSol>
public PSol getEl ( int i )     {return get(i);}
     public int getCount()     {return size();}
     public int getTValLg()     {
               int lg=0;
               for (int i=0; i<getCount(); i++)     {
                    lg=lg + getEl(i).getVal().length();
               return lg;
                    /**     ------- checkResult()     -     Check if alll elements are single char +dump
     public boolean checkResult(String messg)     {
               boolean allOne=true;
               for (int i=0; i<size(); i++)     {
                    if ( getEl(i).getVal().length() > 1 )     {
                         allOne=false;
                         System.out.print(" ");
               else     {
                    System.out.print(getEl(i).getVal());
               System.out.println("<C.R.>"+messg);
               return allOne;
     }     // Class PSList
Secondly, I don't really see what you mean by pointing out to 'only one "pSLWk" instance of PSList'. The variable pSLWk is the variable to be worked upon; after some change of the contents, I want to save this state of contents to the stack. When I pop that variable from the stack, I wouldn't want to restore it to pSLWK, but to some other variable, e.g. by public PSList<PSol> pSL1;
pSL1=new PSList<PSol>(bkStack.pop());Again - to my understanding (which comes from old days of microprocessor coding... - there shouldn't be a need to know how the data came there, or what was the name of the variable who stored it there. And : the implementation of ArrayDeque returns 'elements' of class E, not references !
Thirdly, you're right, that the method of using a copy constructor for retrieval looks 'weird'. However - I had some other versions that didn't work either, e.g. the straightforward one, as I pointed out.
And fourthly: yes, I'm almost sure that I'm messing up something somewhere. I went to this forum hoping to clarify that ... :)
If you don't mind, could you please sketch a few lines of code, how to 'push' a complex variable to a ArrayDeque stack, and retrieve it - by 'pop()' - to some to other variable of the same class later ?
Might make our discussion much easier, to see how things REALLY work.
Thank you !

Enabler software doesn't work

The 802.11n enabler software doesn't work on my Intel iMac even though it should according to the Apple site info. I get a message that says
"Your computer does not meet the hardware requirements for this update."
Anybody know what gives?

Use the information in this article to determine which model of iMac you have; the AirPort Extreme 802.11n enabler requires a Core 2 Duo processor, and isn't compatible with Core Duo iMacs or the 1.83GHz Core 2 Duo model.
(21528)

Connecting to other computers on network doesn't work as expected.

This is kind of interesting.
I do this: From Menu Go > Network
Then I choose either my iMac or MacBook Pro and double click the user name for my home folders on the other computers.
A window opens up and the bottom right of the window the little twirling busy thing just goes and goes and goes.
I notice the server icon on the Desktop and double click it and everything is there an access is fast, just like I expected from the first window that popped up. But it's still there, blank, with a little twirly thing (very technical).
I get what I'm after, but it doesn't work the way it should.

Try keeping your shares from sleeping during the expected period of use--assuming they are. If this procedure works, then you'll need to decide between the "lesser of the two evils."

Self assigned IP Address, wireless doesn't work

After upgrading to Leopard I keep getting "AirPort has a self-assigned IP address and may not be able to connect to the Internet." when I try to connect to the wireless network. Thus, wifi does not work at all. I've researched it best I can and it seems to be a problem with the router assigning an IP address to the mac, but why didn't this happen in Tiger? However if I play around with it for awhile it will randomly start working, but the same method doesn't fix it everytime. It also works fine in bootcamp. If I physically plug into the router, it works fine. This problem didn't exist in Tiger at all.

Follow-up:
On the two laptops, I finally managed to get on line by switching to a different wireless access point, on a different modem. I surmise that the communication between the Macbook DHCP client and the modem/router's DHCP server is less than 100% effective. Looking at the modem/router, I could see that all of the Macs had active connections. But, instead of showing the names of the Macs, the page showed a star (*) for each Mac. I had to compare Mac addresses to verify the connections. The MAC address, of course, is hard-wired into the computer's network interface. It appears that either the DHCP client didn't know what question to ask when it broadcast for an IP address, or it couldn't interpret the answer. Except in the case of the iMac, which worked perfectly.
I upgraded the MacPro last, since it is my primary machine. Same story--connection with self-assigned address, which is useless. However, this time, having nothing left to lose, I restarted the modem/router, which presumably dumped any inactive connections and issued new DHCP leases.
However, I do have a few words for the Apple GENIUSES! The Leopard network preferences page puts me in mind of a maintenance free battery. A few of the older folks will remember when you bought a car battery that had to be filled with distilled water to reconstitute the electrolyte. Then, periodically, you check the level of the liquid in the battery, and added distilled water when required. Adding water was required on occasion because some of the water would boil off under certain conditions. Then, we got the maintenance free battery, which is virtually identical to the older battery design, except that you don't have to perform the maintenance of replenishing the water. It turns out, however, that maintenance free batteries do vent on occasion, and should have water added. But, you can't add water because the battery is sealed. So, the difference between conventional and maintenance free is not that the maintenance free battery doesn't need maintenance, it is that you can't perform the maintenance without voiding the warranty.
The Leopard network preference page won't let you set the parameters that could restore a connection. If the DHCP client doesn't work automatically, you're stuck.

Wrt300n- wireless doesn't work after changing default IP scheme

When I change the 192.168.1.0 default network scheme my wireless connection doesn't work to the internet I can get to the router's configuration ( I need to change for VPN reasons) The LAN connections work fine. Any ideas or settings that I can look at.

Reset your router by holding down the reset button on the back for 30 sec. This should get you on the net but you will need to configure your router wireless settings to secure it. Good Luck!

Keyboard shortcuts... cum pad doesn't work like it should

hello.
i'm on osx using indesign cs4.
in indesign all the shortcuts involving numbers like fit spread to window, etc do not work. i can assign shortcuts to the numb keys but no modifiers. but also when i enter the key instead of "1" showing up, it says "Num 1". illustrator and photoshop work as expected, but not indesign. this has been an issue since i maybe cs2, i just never bothered to inquire about it. several years later, different computer different version and i'm still having the same issue.
if anyone can help, i highly appreciate it.
thanks

In ID the keys on the number pad are reserved for style shortcuts. You must use the numbers on the top row of the qwerty pad for everything else.

Vi.lib\Utility\config.llb doesn't work as expected in 6.1

I have to modify part of a LV project written in 6.1. I started of writing a patch/VI for the project in 7.1.1, tested it and it worked fine. Then I save it from 7.1.1 > 7.0 > 6.1 and the code doesn't work. I have attached the 6.1 and 7.1.1 code that simply modifies a config data file.
Run both the VI version on the attached data file (save copies of it beforehand as the VI overwites/modifies the .dat file) and you should see for e.g.
4.6.2.1 Name=Pass
Change to
4.6.2.1 Name="4.6.2.1 Extend Ground Cycle"
with 7.1.1
and no change with 6.1

The problem is at the very end. The 'Close Config Data.vi' changed between 6.1 and 7.0. The input 'Write Configuration File' on 7.0 and higher is default to True, any version before that was default to False. With this set to false, the file is not actually written.
So on 6.1, you need to connect a boolean constant or control set to True to this termianl to write the file.

Using the Abort button to stop your VI is like using a tree to stop your car. It works, but there may be consequences.

Finder 'Back' button doesn't work as expected

Try this in Leopard Finder: In Finder View Options (Command-J), set Applications to always open in icon view, and Documents to always open in list view. Now open a fresh window and click each in the sidebar. They open as expected, one in icon view, and the other in list view. Now click the back button, and you're looking at the folder you just had open half a second earlier, but it's suddenly shifted to a different view - a view you explicitly told the Finder you didn't want this folder to open in. How does this make sense?

Back button behaviour can be pretty wierd. I usually use the keyboard combination, but for some reason it doesn't work on PDF's and I have to end up using the graphical back button.
There are some websites out there that for some reason or another break the Back button's behaviour. Sometimes I have to hold down the mouse button to get the back button menu in order to work around that problem.
In another case there was this page in Amazon that wouldn't allow me to go back to. Everytime I went to that page the browser to automatically kick me to the next page. I had to disable javascript to work around that problem.

Changed AppleID doesn't work as expected - System shows old AppleID

A friend of mine switched her AppleID in their OS X system. E.g. she changed the respective preference panel.
Unfortunately, the switch didn't work as expected: If she tries to download application updates in AppStores, the system allways presents the old AppleID. Additionally, she isn't aple to change the AppleID value in the respective dialogs.
Since she changed all places she is aware of, the system effectively prevents all updates since a far too long time now...
Questions
Did someone know how to effectively change the AppleID system-wide?
Should she delete a certain *.plist file?

The actual email address doesn't matter. Once it is created as an AppleID, it is just a text string that is used as the username for iCloud, iTunes Store, Mac App Store, etc. It does get used as a contact email, but you can associate any number of email addresses with that AppleID. The password used for the AppleID should be different than the email address, but could be the same if you choose. Regardless, there is really no link between an email account and the AppleID, besides the same text string is used.
As I stated earlier, AppleIDs cannot be merged or transferred and the purchases on one AppleID cannot be transferred to another. Whatever AppleID was used to purchase the items has to be used to update them or reinstall the OS.
It doesn't matter that she created a new AppleID. The purchases on the old ID cannot be transferred to the new AppleID. The old email address (which isn't an email address but a username for the AppleID) pops up because that is the AppleID that was used to purchase the OS. Nobody can change that, unless Apple decides to change its position, which I doubt it will due to security concerns.
