For frequent connection dropouts try removing "realplayer downloader" from

Try removing real player downloader from your personal account login items (found in: apple menu, preferences, account, login items. Click on it and then click "-" to remove it, then restart computer.) Apparently this item is the gremlin in the system as far as wireless networking for Apple. It was installed as part of a large Real Player package.
I just innocently installed it today, and all these problems cropped up, including the request for WEP passwords (which I don't use). I had no problems previous to this installation. I checked this forum, and Steve Eson related his phone call to Apple on one earlier reply. No one confirmed his suggestion, but I think it may be the culprit. If it works for you, respond with a hallelujah!

Good luck, Rick

Hallelujah!
These dropouts have plagued me for a week now. I have tried everything to stop them happening, updated modem, tested airport card, turned off Time Capsule, removed Time Capsule, changed channel on modem, uninstalled everything and re-installed it - nothing worked.
I wanted to remove Realplayer downloader because it is irritating and I'm not sure how it came to be installed in the first place (I only wanted to update Real Player) and I came across this. I can't believe you have sorted two problems in one!
Thanks so much. Hallelujah indeed!

    how to remove available downloads from the list without it resuming when i open itunes or check for available downloads?

    There is not a way to remove them from the list.  Just let them download, and then delete them from your library when they are done.

  • Every time I turn iPad on Ive got three films that try to automatically download from the cloud but always fail. How can I cancel or stop this from happening?

    Three films that i purchased and are stored in the cloud always try to download to my iPad when I turn it on. A message always pops up saying download failed even though I haven't tried to download them. When I go into iTunes the three films are there as an update with download failed at the side. How do I stop this and just have them in the cloud? I Don't seem to be able to clear it. I also purchased a film by mistake but got it refunded and that also appears in my library from time to time. How do I clear that?

    You could also try logging out of your account by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and then log back and see if then works
    If not then do a soft-reset and try again : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
    And if that doesn't work either then you could try contacting iTunes Support and see if they can remove the films from you download queue :  http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

  • Can someone please help me with my security.  For some reason when I go to download from my itunes account, apple is asking me to verify my ID by asking me questions that are simply not relevant to me.  How do I change the questions?

    When I go to download from my iTunes account, it has started to say that I have to verify my ID.  When only last week I was able to download ok.  The questions it asks me are not relevant to me and I need to know how to reset the questions.   For example, it asks who is my favourite teacher?  I am over 50 years old and have not been in a classroom for almost 40 years, so I would not have ever answered a question like that in the first place as I would not know a name of a teacher.  Any clues anyone?

  • I always update my iPad without any problem , but this time for the iOS 7 , it is still downloading from yesterday more than 24 hours and as a result I can't open any email . So can you help me or tell me what went wrong

  • The SD (Standard Definition) button in the Store doesn't work for seasons of TV Shows I have downloaded from

    The SD Button in the Apple Store doesn't work whenever I click it for seasons of TV Shows seasons I have already downloaded from, it works perfectly fine for shows I haven't downloaded an episode from but not for shows I have downloaded anything from. I can click the button but it doesn't open up a new menu anyway and just stays on the HD menu, this is annoying because not only does it cost more for HD but it is a much larger download that I want.
    I have updated to the latest iTunes but this hasn't helped the problem, I am considering re-installing iTunes but will that mean that I have to download the other shows again before I can watch them? Or do they remain downloaded? Just because I don't want to spend a lot of data re-downloading everything I have already downloaded.

    Update: I've just figured out that the SD button doesn't work if the 'Buy Complete Season' button is blue, if it isn't blue then the menu can alternate between the HD and SD options easily but if it is blue then it won't switch between HD and SD. This is just getting weirder as I continue investigating...
    So it seems that if the button for buying the rest of the season is light blue then that means I can only purchase in HD? Is this a software issue?

  • Cannot sign in to try Adobe Muse downloaded from Adobe website

    I cannot sign in to Adobe Muse's trial at all. It seems to authenticate but everytine it returns to the Sign In window with the options to choose from entering my subscription or start a trial. Does anyone know what can I do to try Muse? I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate with Service Pack 1 and Adobe Muse 1.0 LS10 downloaded from Adobe website. I guess that's the final version.

  • TS1424 How can I remove. Download from the quere

    I recently have been purchasing a few episodes of the office every couple of days... 26 episodes in the season and by the time I got to 15 episodes it said I only owed 2.00 to get reminder of season. I ordered every episode in standard but when I went to download rest of season it deleted all my standard versions and replaced with hd... Now the hd are too big to fit every episode on my iPad and I just want to get them all in standard... iPad won't let me download in standard until the hd versions complete downloading... Takes bout a hour per episode to download... How can I remove the hd episodes from my queer so I can redownload in sd.

    Did you hold the Command (Apple) key while dragging them off the sidebar? That usually makes them go *poof*.

    I am new to the aspect of proxy connections... hence i am stuck at the very first step.
    In the pre-requisite section of the doc says
    1. The BW is integrated to the XI landscape
    2. Create a software component in the Software Landscape Directory.
    Can any one please tell me the steps for doing this, the tcodes and all , and how to check for the connections?
    Looking forward to hearing from you, as I read a lot of matter from SDN forums and help.sap.com sites, but cudnt figure out what all i have to for this...

  • After an update to OS 10.9 Maverick my Epson WF2540 no longer connects to WiFi. Any solutions from the community here?

    April 1.  ( and no, this is not an April fools joke!! ) I uploaded the newest OS Maverick 10.9 a week ago. Since then my Epson WF 2540 printer scanner does not connect to the Mac. I have tried everything I know, and looked for solutions online, but still, I cannot use my printer, which is only 3 months old! Now what? are there new upgrade drivers to the MAverick already available... and where?

    The Epson web site states that is fully supported in Mavericks using the Apple Software update and the Epson software. Download the Epson Scan software if you are using a version older than November 2013 and confirm your Mavericks is upto date, latest version 10.9.2.
    You could then try removing the printer from the Printers set up on the Mac and reinstalling it.

  • Need help removing hard drive from Time Machine exclusion list

    I have a 1TB Western Digital Essential hard drive with about 500Gb of music, movies and other assorted data tethered directly to my iMac. I also have a 1TB Time Capsule that serves as my wireless router and connects to my iMac over the wireless network. I'm trying to use the Time Capsule as the ultimate backup device, to backup the data on my iMac and the tethered 1TB Western Digital hard drive via Time Machine. It already backs up all the data on my iMac, but unfortunately, Time Machine places the 1TB Western Digital hard drive in the exclusion list (which I understand is normal), but will not let me click the minus sign to remove the drive from the exclusion list (which is where I'm at a loss). Someone please help me find a way around this as I've been unable to find a way to remove the Western Digital drive from the exclusion list and have Time Capsule access its data. Many thanks in advance for any help with this.

    gotham,
    Forgive me, but are you highlighting the drive in the list before you click the "-" button?
    Also, were is the external drive? Connected to your Mac or the TC. If the TC, then Time Machine won't backup the external drive. It needs to be connected to the Mac directly.
    Otherwise, you can delete the TM .plist.
    *Delete The Time Machine Preference .plist*
    Go to --> Macintosh HD / Library / Preferences (Note: NOT Home / Library / Preferences).
    Drag the .plist file labeled,
    com.apple.TimeMachine.plist
    to the root level of your Macs’ hard drive.
    Reboot your computer.
    This .plist file is automatically recreated at startup if it is missing.
    You will need to reselect your Time Capsule in the TM Prefs for backup.
    Now try 'removing' the other drive form the exclusion list.
    Let us know if this helped resolve your issue.
    Cheers!
