Finding the Right Network Driver...

I've tried all the network drivers I could find on the Dell website, but none of them worked. I'm on a Vostro 3560. Service Tag is <ADMIN NOTE: Service tag removed per privacy policy> and Express Service Code is <ADMIN NOTE: Express service code removed per privacy policy>

I moved your post over to the networking board, as this seems to be a networking issue more than just a problem with the notebook.
I didn't get a chance to see the service tag so I couldn't check what wireless card was ordered with your system. The Vostro 3560 shipped with the Realtek RTL8105E Ethernet, and either the DW 1703, DW 1704, DW 1901, or the Intel Centrino wireless-n 2230 wireless cards. is the problem with the wired connection, or the wireless connection, and if it is the wireless connection do you know what is the model of wireless card?
Is there a reason why you are looking for the drivers, are you having problems with the Ethernet or wireless connections on the notebook, and if so what are they? In your reply please include what operating system that you are using, and if it is a wireless problem, include the brand and model of the router that is being used, and if you have tried different networks with the same problems and we can go from there.

Re: Satellite A660-12P - can't find the right display driver for Win XP

Hey everyone, i need some help with this one:
I just made a dual boot Win7 (x64)/XP (x86) on my laptop, but i can't find the right display drivers for the video controller VGA compatible on XP.
Does someone know where i can find them?
Many thanks,

Yes, you get this message because you cannot install the nVidia rivers only executing the exe file.
If you want to install such drivers then you have to do this in device manager.
You have to force the notebook to choose the driver
You can do this choosing the advanced installation procedure which helps you to point to the driver files!

Finding the right network

We recently moved, and we're in a neighborhood with several home networks that Airport detects upon startup. Airport always chooses the wrong one. How can I make my own home network the one that Airport connects to by default?
The correct network connect is via our Linksys Wireless-G router.
Once I manually change the selection in Internet Connect, everything works fine. I'm just trying to eliminate the need to change networks.
Thanks!
iBook G4 14 Mac OS X (10.4.3)

Hello James.
Copied from an Apple Knowledge Base article.
By default, AirPort attempts to join the wireless network your computer was most recently connected to.
If you are in an environment with multiple wireless networks, you can set up your computer to join a preferred network when you start your computer, wake it from sleep, or turn AirPort on.
AirPort keeps track of the wireless networks your computer has connected to, and lists them in the Network pane of System Preferences.
To choose a preferred AirPort network using Mac OS X 10.4:
1. Open Network preferences, choose AirPort from the Show pop-up menu, and click AirPort.
2. Choose "Preferred networks" from the "By default, join" pop-up menu, and select a network from the list.
3. You can add wireless networks to the list by clicking the Add button, and clicking on the Network Name pop-up menu. Choose a network and enter a password for the network if necessary. Use the Delete button to remove a network from the list.
To give a network the highest priority, drag the name of the network to the top of the list. This is the network AirPort will attempt to join first.
If you are using Mac OS X 10.3, choose "A specific network" from the "By default, join" pop-up menu, and either type the name of the network in the Network field, or click the Network pop-up menu to display the available networks, choose one and then enter your password for the network.
You can set additional options to control the way your computer joins available networks. Click Options and choose an option from the "If no preferred networks are found" pop-up menu.
If you choose "Ask before joining an open network," you will be prompted when an open network becomes available. If you choose "Automatically join an open network," you will not be promoted, and will automatically join an open network when it becomes available. If you choose "Keep looking for recent networks," AirPort will continue looking for networks you have already joined, and automatically join the network when one is found.

PC Suite not finding the right Bluetooth driver

I have a 6131 phone and a PC running XP. I've been connected OK for some time using IVT Blue Soleil and have been able to move files, but now I want to synchronise my calendar. Today I installed PC Suite 6.86.9.0 and tried to connect using the wizard. When I try to choose Bluetooth for the connection I get an error message "Cannot use the connection type. Check that all the needed hardware....". On the System Info dialogue under Help I see that PC Suite has detected only the Microsoft Bluetooth stacks - not the Blue Soliel ones I have been successfully using. I can't see how to fix that as the Manage Connections screen only shows the Microsoft connection as well, and won't allow me to configure it. How can I get PC Suite to use the Blue Soleil driver?

HI,
PC Suite is not support all stack version. Please, check you Bluesoleil stack version.

Finding the right graphic driver

Hi, and in advance thanks for any replies
I've just migrated from Ubuntu to Arch (wanted more freedom + learn more), but I'm having a hard time finding a good graphic card driver.
Currently I am running X with xfce4 using the vesa-driver (slow and low resolution :S )
I've tried installing drivers from nvidia's site, and tried installing nvidia/nvidia-utils from pacman and running nvidia-xconfig, but neither work (tried xf86-video-nv too, without luck).
When running X with those drivers, the screen goes black for 1-2s, then a big NVIDIA logo appears, and then it goes to black again and stays black.
I got an error message, but can't see it in Xorg.0.log (or Xorg.0.log.old)? I think the error message said something about some keyboard stuff being 1 when it is supposed to be 2? Sorry, I don't remember it
Also I remember that the error message said "the error is not critical to Xorg" or something?

Finding the right computer

I'm not that knowledgable on laptops and I'm looking to purchase one where do I start?

Credit goes to an Author by the name of Paul Tansey on BestBuy.com for creating this buying guide:
Laptop Computer Buying Guide
By Paul Tansey
There's no way around it: you need a computer at home. Computers make it so easy to stay in touch, stay organized, entertained and informed, it's a wonder we ever did without them.
With laptop technology advancing in leaps and bounds, there's no reason you can't take this power and convenience with you wherever you go, considering you can stay connected wirelessly just about anywhere these days. And most laptops can do anything a desktop can do, without the bulky tower and without forcing you to stay indoors. So just because you're working doesn't mean you can't work in the park!
There are about as many different kinds of laptops out there as there are ways to use them, so let's look at some key points that will help you decide which one is right for you.
If you want the basics...
Choose a model that has the features you need to everyday computing. Not for making crazy rocket science calculations or memory eating applications, but to do the things that make life easier, like e-mail, Web browsing and word processing.
Most models come with wireless capability, so you can grab a seat in any wireless Internet hotspot and surf to your heart's content.
If you travel a lot...
Many newer laptops are thinner and lighter than ever but still deliver heavyweight performance, packing all of the processing power, hard drive space and versatility you want into a thin frame that weighs less than 4.5 pounds. You'll pay a little more for the thin and light, but if you have to carry your laptop around with you wherever you go, you'll very quickly appreciate leaving the extra bulk behind.
If you're big on home entertainment, photos and music...
These top-end models feature big widescreen displays enhanced for crystal-clear, smooth video playback. The video cards, processors and operating systems are also enhanced for high-performance video and audio, with Media Center models featuring personal video recorder (PVR) capability, a built-in TV tuner, surround sound and multiple digital and analog video inputs.
PVRs will change how you watch TV. Pause and replay live TV, then skip back to the live feed when you're ready. You can also program your laptop to automatically record your favorite shows.
For your always-growing collection of images and music files, there are models that feature faster processors, more RAM and larger hard drives. They are also enhanced for displaying photos, and you have more options for getting your media into the computer, including additional USB slots and built-in memory card readers to swap images straight from your digital camera or other device.
If you're all business...
Professional Series laptops meet the demands your business requires whether you're working from home, in the office or on the road.
Since your laptop is your business, look for enhanced security features like a fingerprint reader, which allows only authenticated users to access it, and an encrypting file system to allow for file and folder encryption at the user level. Some include motion-sensing hard drive protection that safeguard the laptop's hard drive against damage from a sudden movement or drop - important to consider when going from meeting to meeting.
If size matters...
Laptops come in all shapes, sizes and weights. Many are now an inch thick or less, with absolutely every millimeter of internal space used efficiently. These thin laptops don't lose a step compared to their beefier competition, with just as much processing power and a screen size and keyboard that won't leave you feeling shortchanged.
As laptops get a little larger, the size of the screen also climbs. You can find high-performance Thin Film Transistor (TFT) LCD screen sizes ranging from 4.5" to 17" or more, most set up as widescreens.
If you prefer wireless freedom...
Nearly all laptops are capable of working wirelessly, with wireless cards and processors enhanced to perform when you're connected at a hotspot. Many laptops now include Bluetooth wireless for easy, safe, secure linking with a wide range of other devices, from handhelds to cell phones to wireless headphones.
Instead of confining yourself to your office or den, or inflicting a tangle of wires and computer components on your décor, you can set your family up with a network of wireless laptops. Everyone gets the access they need, when and where they want it. Plus, if you need your computer for work, you can take everything with you and not worry about leaving a file behind or denying anyone their computer time.
Multiple users can go online at once, and all of the same access protection can be installed to keep your kids away from online dangers. You can all use one central wireless printer and scanner for total convenience.
If performance is key...
Processing power can separate the handy from the incredible, so if performance is key, look for more processing power. Most processors will fall within the range of 1.0GHz to 3.0GHz, but different types of processors excel in different ways.
The Intel lineup starts with the Celeron® M, while the Pentium® Dual Core is peppier and more powerful. The top-of-the-line Centrino® chipsets feature Core™, Core™ Duo and Core™2 Duo processors with built-in wireless capabilities, improved power-saving capabilities and enhanced performance.
AMD also has a good range of processors. The AMD Turion™ 64 X2 and Turion™ 64 mobile technology is similar to Centrino® and adds wireless performance to their high-end processors with some supporting Bluetooth technology.
RAM is also an important performance factor and serves as the real-time memory that makes your applications run faster and makes it possible to work with huge files. RAM starts at about 512MB, but most models can be upgraded with extra memory. You can find some that can be upgraded all the way to 4.0GB, which comes in handy for demanding multimedia applications.
Many of the higher-end models will also include a generous amount of RAM built into the video card for smooth performance, especially for today's advanced 3D games.
Drives
Hard drive sizes vary considerably, from about 60GB (more than enough for basic computing needs) all the way up to 240GB, ideal for multimedia, home entertainment and games. Faster hard drives (measured in RPM) are better for quick access to data and for smooth video and game operation.
Optical drives - The DVD/CD drive is at least capable of reading DVD-ROMs and burning CDs, but more and more can now work with rewritable DVD±R/RW and even double-sided or double-layered DVDs. If you need better performance, look for write speeds in the range of 24x for CD and 8x for DVD.
Increasing the cool factor, optical drives on some HP computers are outfitted with a technology called LightScribe, which can burn a professional-looking label right onto your disc.
The softer side
The operating systems you can choose from will also impact performance, and will often include software to work with photos, multimedia or even TV.
Windows Vista features Windows Media Center, a multimedia powerhouse that lets you watch your favorite shows, enjoy prized photos and manage your music. In addition, Windows Vista has numerous enhanced security features, new interface elements and increased mobility for working with other users or devices.
The Apple® Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger also delivers great multimedia and networking performance and comes bundled with photo, music and moviemaking software.
Staying power
Battery life is also a consideration. Many manufacturers have been working to improve the efficiency of their systems to extend the amount of work you can accomplish per charge. This will come in handy on long trips or when you have to finish a project but can't find anywhere to plug in, like when you're on a park bench or a coffee house patio.
Accessories for protection and convenience
First and foremost, a laptop case will not only make it easier to carry around your computer and its related accessories, but it will also protect your investment. Laptop cases range in size, with some designed for style and others for capacity, and many for both.
A small laptop mouse will give you a welcome break from your current pointing device, making it easier to navigate your screen. They come in either wired or wireless versions. An extra power adapter - one in the bag and one for the office - and back-up battery are also a good idea, so you never get caught without power.
A flash drive that plugs directly into a USB port is an inexpensive and efficient way to transfer files. Pop one into your laptop case.
With a better understanding of what separates a good laptop from a great one, it's easy to find the right one for you.

Finding the right harddrive?

Hi!
I am trying to find the right HD to swap with my current 160GB. The criteria are simple. At least 500GB and 7200 RPM.
However I don't know which are compatible. I have a 15" MacBookPro (ver. 2,2) 2,16 GHz Intel Core Duo 2 from January 2006, with 4 GB Ram installed. I wan't to make a clean install with Snow Leopard once the disk is up and running. But which to chose. It seems there are a lot of problems with the Seagate Momentus so I was looking at this one:
http://www.edbpriser.dk/Product/Details.aspx?pid=667834
Is that a good choice?

hitachi? eeek!
on your machine, the 7200rpm drive won't make much, if any difference, due to that mac only being SATA I. between the density of the 500gb disk & the bottleneck on the sata bus, the rpm difference isn't a factor...
so don't worry about getting a 7200 drive. if you find one at a good price or something, then that's fine.
I would go with a Western Digital or Seagate. haven't seen good luck with hitachi or toshiba drives in the past. but I've haven't had good luck with WD either & seagate has fallen considerably due to varying firmware issues across the board.
any SATA I or II drive will work, but don't get one with the motion sensor built into the drive (all of them have shock protection of some sort) as these will cause problems with your mac & OS X usually as your mac already has a motion / fall sensor.

Find the time a drive was disconnected

This is not your usual case, but if there is an answer to it, this may help others. Recently I had an external drive stolen from my iMac running mountain lion. I was wondering if there is a terminal log, or something I can find that will show me the time that drive was disconnected. This will help me figure out when the theif was in my home and narrow in on the finding who it was. Yes, I believe it is someone I know. This is very important to me, and I hope there is something out there that can help me find the time this drive went offline or was disconnected. It was just removed (pulled out of the computer "disconnected"), and not ejected, so maybe there is a log of this somewhere..?
Thank you all for your help.

Use the Console application in Utilities and check the System log. This is the info from my machine for a disk just pulled and a correct unmount, the xxxxx just replace my machine name. Disk names may be different on your machine.

Need help finding the right codec to play QT files

Like many others who have posted, all the quicktime files on my drive have turned to black. Previously when I opened the file, I saw picture and sound. Now every single file has only audio, but the picture is black.
I am operation on Mac O.S. 10.4.11. I am using Quicktime Pro 7.5. I have been trying to fix this problem for a month now. Many people have suggested I need to find the right codec, but so far I have not found it. I have tried: A52codec.component, AC3codec, MacOS 8.x, 9.1.x, Apple Intermediate Codec.com, Apple MPEG2.codec.component, Avilmporter-r7.component, DivX Decoder.component, DivX Encoder.component, DivX Pro 6.8.0.19 + keymaker, EnsharpEncoderMacOsX.cmg, Fbx 20091quicktime_macemu.pkg.tar, Fbx QT.pkg, Flipsformac, WMV Advanced.component, Flipsformac WMV Advanced Exports.component, Flipsformac WMV Import.component, IMXCodec.component, LAAME Universal Installer.mpkg, LAAMEncoder.component, QSSP_2.1.dmg, QSXEssentials.component, QSXEssentials.dmg, QTFvx.component, Red Quicktime Codec v3.1.pkg, Red Code iedcod.qt.component, Spectrograph.component, TSCC.component xiphqt.component, XviD_codec-r58.component, XviDELEGATE.component
Nothing worked!
I also tried to install Perian. This did not work.
What should I do? Should I re-install my operating system and start over? About a month ago, all the video clips played just fine. Is there any solution?
Thanks

Hi Wangerer!
I haven't even heard of half of those! You may have reached overkill on codecs!
Get rid of some of them and read this:
These are the downloads and the settings you need in order to view/hear pretty much everything that the net can throw at you: The setup described below has proved repeatedly successful on both PPC and Intel macs, but nothing in life carries a guarantee!
It is known to work in the great majority of cases with Safari 3.0.4, 3.1, 3.1.1, QT 7.3, 7.4.x and 7.5 and OS 10.4.11.
Assuming you already run Tiger versions OS 10.4.11 and have Quicktime 7.4 or above, and are using Safari 2 or 3, download and install (or re-install even if you already had them) the latest versions, suitable for your flavor of Mac, of:
RealPlayer 11 (which is no longer in beta) for Mac from:
http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/15540
Flip4Mac WMV Player from http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/wmcomponents.mspx (Windows Media Player for the Mac is no longer supported, even by Microsoft)
Perian from http://perian.org/
You should read this support page http://perian.org/#support in case you need to delete older codecs.
Adobe FlashPlayer should first be uninstalled using the appropriate uninstaller available here:
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_14157&sliceId=2
and then the latest version obtained from here:
http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1ProdVersion=ShockwaveFlash
and installed.
(You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS, but please see my footnote if you are running Leopard.)
In earlier versions than QT 7.1.3 in Quicktime Preferences, under advanced, UNcheck Enable Flash, and under Mime settings/Miscellananeous only check Quicktime HTML (QHTM).
You should also ensure, if you are running Tiger 10.4.11, that you have downloaded and installed all the correct version for your Mac of Security Updates up to and including 2008-004. (N.B. Security Updates require both a restart and a permission repair.)
In Macintosh HD/Library/Quicktime/ delete any files relating to DivX (Perian already has them). However it should be noted that Perian is not an internet plugin and will not play DivX files imbedded on a website. For that you will need the DivX Player browser plugin available from http://www.divx.com/divx/mac/
Now go to Safari Preferences/Security, and tick the boxes under Web Content (all 4 of them) to enable Java.
Lastly open Audio Midi Setup (which you will find in the Utilities Folder of your Applications Folder) and click on Audio Devices. Make sure that both Audio Input and Audio Output, under Format, are set to 44100 Hz, and that you have selected 'Built in Audio'.
Important: Now repair permissions and restart.
You should also consider having the free VLC Player from http://www.videolan.org/ in your armory, as this plays almost anything that DVD Player might not.
There is an additional 'fix' you could try if you are having problems with Flash and Quicktime, depending on which type of Mac you have:
On Intel Macs, make sure that you are not running Safari in Rosetta. You can check this, and change it, in the Get Info window.
On PPC Macs, go to the Hard Disk/Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder, and drag the file 'QuickTime Plugin.webplugin' to the desktop. Quit and restart Safari. If things have improved you can trash that file. If they haven't put it back, as the lack of this plug-in can cause QT content in some widgets to cease functioning.
And now there is an additional kid on the block: SilverLight. Microsoft has created their own version of what a replacement for Flash should be. You can read more about it here:
http://silverlight.net/
So, if you go to any sites that have been designed for this new Silverlight stuff, you can download the plug-in from here (but make certain that you are downloading SilverLight v.1.0 for OS X (10.4.8 upwards):
http://silverlight.net/GetStarted/
FOOTNOTE
If you are running Leopard:
Some users have mentioned that the latest Flash Player (v.9.0.115.0) conflicts with Leopard, and that they have needed to revert to v. 9.0.47. This can be downloaded from here:
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_14266&sliceId=1

How do i find the wifi network and password for iphone 4s

how do i find the wifi network name and passwordfor iphone 4s?

Well Netgear will not know your password. The factory default user name for netgear is usually admin and the factory default is password is password. Go to an internet browser and in the url windo type in 192.168.0.1 and if I am right a login window will appear. Try the factory defaults.

TS1398 My iPad finds the WiFi network I want to join (and it

My iPad finds the right WiFi network, and it's a network it has been able to connect to in the past. But when i click on the network it says unable to connect. The network is password protected, but when i click on the network i am not prompted for the password. I reset the WiFi (and it connects to other devices just fine), and i have reset the WiFi on the iPad, and nothing changes.
Thanks,
Ally

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.

Trying to Find the Right Phone for Me

Hello,
I'm thinking of switching to a BlackBerry, and could use a bit of help finding the right phone for me. I've browsed through them, but so far haven't been able to find what I'm looking for (and I'm not able to find out which phones have UMA or not in the compare section).
Provider isn't important, as I'm fine changing my service.
I'm looking for a phone that is:
* Both WiFi and UMA compatible
* GPS compatible
* Preferably with a Camera
Thanks for the help!
