FIX for: no Wi-Fi, reverts to EDGE, or "slow" - using computer as router.

This is a fix for a special case: if you have a Mac hooked up directly to the internet via cable modem or DSL, and you use the built-in airport to share the connection using "personal web sharing", and your Firewall is on.
If you turn on Wi-Fi on the iPhone, you may seem to connect (You get the WiFi bars on the phone) but you cannot access internet (or it's slow - cause it reverts to Edge). You may get no IP address on the phone, or perhaps one starting with 169.
The fix is to turn off "Block UDP Traffic" from the "Advanced..." options of the "Firewall" section of the "Sharing" System Preference panel.
I think it would be nice to be able to block UDP traffic other than iPhone, but it's all or none.
I haven't seen this metioned anywhere else, so could someone please pass this along to Apple?
Good Luck, ell

You can pass it along to Apple by posting to this page.

That's the best and most direct way to get the info to Apple.

Any fix for mail stuck in outbox in Mail 5.1 (using Exchange Server 2010)?

Every couple of days I will notice that mail hasn't been sending from my Exchange email account in Apple's Mail 5.1. There doesn't seem to be any issues on the server side so it is probably something on my side of things.
I have checked my settings with our Exchange Server representatives and everything should be fine. The 'stuck' messages will send only if I take the account offline temporarily, move the messages to a draft folder, bring the account back on line and then drop the messages one by one back into the outbox.
First, I had to 'unhide' the Outbox just to notice the problem. Now, the outbox doesn't even show the unsent messages unless I take the account offline temporarily.
Anyone find a solution to this?

UNfortunately, the only "clue" I now have is that the emails get sent ONLY when I restart my computer!
This morning, I had a similar problem on my Mac Pro, but it was solved by quitting the Mail app. Not so this afternoon on my MacBook Pro. I had to restart.
This laptop has much less space left upon the HD than does my MacPro. But I must add, the problems on both have been getting worse over the last two days or so.
So, I am not encouraged.
As far as I can tell, I too have only been using one server--but the connection doctor does show two.
I have tried with both, with no difference in performance.
I am one of the people who had a dot.mac account from many years ago. I opted to continue with this, instead of going to the dot.me naming. By some strange chance, it that your situation, too?
At the moment, I can think of nothing else to try. Let's hope we solve this, for I think it bad for the computers to have to restart just to answer an email.

On my mac it doesn't let me bookmark some sites when i drag the icon over or click on bookmark this page. Is there a fix for this?

When i drag a URL over to my bookmarks or click on bookmark this page (on a Mac BTW) it doesn't let me do it. Not even with the star. Like when i try to bookmark some cell phone forums and gamefaq boards it says "website did not supply identity information" and it doesn't even let me bookmark that page unless i go to a different part of the site. Is there any type of fix for this???

Hi punisherbv,
Are you using the beta? it's not fully secure, so try using Firefox 3 instead. If you are already using Firefox 3, it seems like what Firefox is saying is correct- the site is not supplying identity information. So what you could do is go to that exact site, then click on the little golden lock at the very corner of the page. Then, enter the 'permissions' tab and allow everything. Exit, and then try bookmarking the page!

Ever since the most recent firefox update, every time I try to download anything firefox stops responding and will not do anything until I restart it. Can I revert back to a previous version, or is there a fix for it?

Every time I try to download anything firefox stops responding and will not do anything until I restart it. Can I revert back to a previous version, or is there a fix for it? When I restart firefox, then the download continues and all is well until I try to download something new (which I do quite often).

You may well find this article of interest and help in sorting out your problems: [[Installing a previous version of Firefox]] The article does contain a link for previous versions, but also points out other troubleshooting advice that may be more appropriate in some instances.
Another useful article is [[Basic Troubleshooting]]
I hope you sort out your problems either by downgrading or finding the cause of the problem.

Is there is signal booster I can use to get better reception for 3G on my ipad? My reception is between 1 (which doesn't work) and 3 bars and it never reverts to Edge. Thanks

Hi, I'm new to this new format for the forum so I may make lots of errors.
My 3G IPAD only gets between 1 and 3 bars when I use 3G at home which is a lot. When its at 1, I can't use my IPAD online at all. I have the original IPAD, 16G, with 3G. My operating system is 4.3.5.
I called Apple support and they connected me to ATT and they didn't know what the problem was. I told them it didn't revert to Edge and they said that's because it can't find the signal. They said I could get a new SIMS card if it didn't work in town but yesterday I took it to town and it got between 3 and 5 bars so I didn't pick up the SIMS card yet.
So I was wondering if anyone knew of a signal booster that will increase the 3G signal so at least it stays off of 1 where I can't use it. I use this mostly at home because my internet connection keeps dropping too so I rely on my 3G 50 percent of the time.
Or does anyone have any other ideas?
Thank you.
I used to be mpoinar but that account is no longer accepted here so I had to create a new one. sigh.

Hi, I just watched the video for the Microcell and you have to use your broadband connection to get it to work and the problem is my broadband connection is down the times I'm using my 3G. That's why I use it, because my broadband connection is not working so much of the time.
Any other suggestions? :-)

With Windows 7 Home Premium, whenever I start iTunes, I get a message that colors have been reverted to Windows Basic because iTunes won't support my Windows Aero configuration. Is there a fix for the incompatibility?

With Windows 7 Home Premium, whenever I start iTunes, I get a message that colors have been reverted to Windows Basic because iTunes won't support my Windows Aero configuration. Is there a fix for the incompatibility? I don't mind the color changes, but I'm having an external speaker problem that could be related to the incompatibility (at random times--usually several hours after start-up, my external speakers--connected via my Samsung Central Station's wireless docking station and computer-installed dongle--shut off and won't play until I restart. I've investigated other options, but iTunes may be the problem.) Thanks.

Perhaps let's first try updating your Apple Software Update.
Launch Apple Software Update ("Start > All Programs > Apple Software Update"). Does it launch and offer you a newer version of Apple Software Update? If so, choose to install just that update to Apple Software Update. (Deselect any other software offered at the same time.)
If the ASU update goes through okay, try another iTunes install. Does it go through without the errors this time?

IChat 6 changed group name to Facebook but keeps reverting to Buddies, an fix for this?

I want the group "Buddies" to be named "Facebook", I have no problems changing it, it just won't stick for more than a few minutes at a time before
it reverts back to "Buddies" again.
I find this very annoying, is there a fix for this?
NB: I have tried pretty much everthing I can think of, I hope someone here will have the answer I'm looking for.
TIA

Hi,
Most likely this is a second Login issue.
It can depend on where you are logged in and with what app and the abilities and priorities that login has ((which somewhat depends on Screen Name /Buddy list type)
AIM Accounts (Any Screen Name that logins in to AIM)
These can have Multiple Logins including a web Log in (web SIte) an AIM Express login, another App and /or another computer. (The web site Login could have default Login period as long as two weeks if you don't specifically Log Out)
So in this case when you change anything via one login the other "Corrects it" due to the constant feedback for both logins.
One Exception if the "Group" called Recent Buddies
In iChat 4 and Above this "group" can be turned On or Off display-wise in the Accounts part of the iChat Preferences.
It holds names of people that have contacted you that are not in the Buddy List itself.
The List is held at the AIM servers and you only have Read Access (You cannot delete people from this list unless adding them to the Buddy List itself)
It used to be possible to Delete the whole group but I have not tried this for a while (Since iChat 3)
I have not tried to rename it but I doubt that it can be.
Multiple Login Effects
When you login in to AIM twice, particualrly in iChat on two computers or Different apps on the same computer, you have two Buddy List telling the AIM servers who is in the Buddy List and what the groups are that they are in.
Although Adding something is easy and will appear in the other Buddy List (such as a new Buddy or a new Group) editing Groups or deleting Buddies is almost impossible.
Jabber Acounts (Facebook, Google and other Jabber Logins)
Logging in to the Google Site (the Gmail Web page or iGoogle pages) where chat is available has the same priority as the iChat App. Whichever was the last login will then tend to take preference.
Most Jabber apps can alter the Priority
This measn your Home computer, Work Cmputer and phone for instance can have different priorities set so messages get sent to the "right" one at the right time.
If your Login is not the highest Priority one then you are unlikely to be able to edit any Group names or Delete Buddies.
Obviously for most people with Google IDs the issues is being logged in to the web site.
As Facebook is also a Jabber server with a web site login available this should be considered as well.
Check both Google and Facebook's default Login time if you don't ever Log Out as a specific action.
(Quitting the page does not Count)
Very few Jabber servers have Web Site Logins (Jabber Australia does as the only one I know of).
I am not aware that you can access the Chat options from those that do (check them individually)
However second logins via Adium or ProteusX may well effect things if they are set to higher priorities.

Safari Ver 5.1.10 Fix For The "Old Style" Google Problem...

@ The mods/ Admins
I'm not sure if this is the correct place to post this but I cannot seem to find the thread where people were discussing the recent problem Google introduced by forcing some versions of Safari to revert back to their old style Google layout and format...
I was told by a moderator (Zack T.) that I could post my "Fix/ Solution" to this problem here on the site but I can't find the original thread for this. So I am posting the "Fix" here as I'm still getting inundated with emails from people here and from Googles "help" forums asking me for this solution...
Could you please if possible leave this thread available for those people running Safari Ver 5.1.10 so that they can try for themselves this "Fix" without having to contact me personally over it, or can you (if needed) move this post to the appropriate thread...
Thank you...
The following is a "Fix/ Solution" that I have created that solves the problem for users of Safari Ver 5.1.10 that Google introduced recently where they now block older version of Safari from using the "Modern Style" layout and features of Google which they had been used to...
You can still use the "Modern Style" Google with Safari 5.1.10 via the "Develop/ User Agent/ Other" menu to switch to a "User Agent" that allows you to use the "Modern Google" however, there is no way to make this as the permanent "Default User Agent" in Safari 5.1.10 and it has to be done for each new tab you open and every time you startup Safari... which is not exactly good or helpful...
That's where this "Fix" solves that for you. This fix will make sure Safari 5.1.10 starts up and uses a custom "User Agent" that allows you to continue to use the "Modern Style" Google and not have to constantly change the "User Agent" via the "Develop" menu...
It also has the benefit over other methods that are about of using FireFox "User Agents" in that this fix creates a Mac specific "User agent" that means you get the correct pages from whatever it is you are accessing on the internet (The FireFox one causes some changes to graphics and page layout when used on a Mac)...
As long as you are certain you are using Safari Version 5.1.10 on a Mac running OSX 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard) and they are all fully updated as far as they can be then this fix should work for you (it already has for several thousand other Safari 5.1. 10 users whom have tried it)...
INSTRUCTIONS.... Safari Version 5.1.10 Fix To Restore The "Modern Style" Google...
IMPORTANT !!! --- MAKE SURE SAFARI ISN"T RUNNING ---
Download the following DMG which contains the "Fix" for Safari Ver 5.1.10...
http://www.mediafire.com/download/7wsl4n5siu7cphw/Safari_Ver_5.1.10_Google_Fix.d mg
When you open the DMG file you will see a window that looks like this...
IMPORTANT --- MAKE SURE SAFARI ISN"T RUNNING ---
STEP 1: Double click on the folder called "A" to open it...
STEP 2: From the new window that opens from folder "A" find the file called "Safari" and drag
it to your Desktop screen to make a copy of it (this is both for safekeeping and in case the "fix"
doesn't work for you so that you can still restore the original file)...
STEP 3: Drag the file from the downloaded DMG window called "Safari" onto the folder in the
same window called "A"...
Now start Safari as you would normally and if the fix has worked you should once again be seeing the
"Modern" look Google once again. You should copy/ move the original "Safari" file you copied to your
Desktop screen to a safe place for storage (Downloads or Documents for example) in case you ever
need or want to restore the original file to Safari at some pint in the future...
IMPORTANT:- If you're still seeing the old version of Google in Safari after trying this fix then
unfortunately it hasn't worked for you and you MUST replace/ put back the
original "Safari" file you copied to your Desktop screen...
This is simple to do and is achieved by simply dragging the original "Safari"
file you copied to your Desktop screen onto the "A" folder in the "Safari Fix"
window...
Happy Googling - MadFranko008 (2014)

I followed instructions from Carolyn Smith in another thread (see below) - but Safari did not start anyway. After that I discovered that Safari started when starting from /Program/-folder but not from Docks on the desktop.
So - throw away the old icon on the desktop and make a new one.
