Having trouble with my airport wireless and connecting to FIOS
I had FIOS installed right after the holidays and have been having trouble getting my mac and airport to connect wirelessly to FIOS. I have an actiontec router and have changed it to a WPA security key. I worked on it about two weeks ago and got it working, not even sure what I changed. Then we got the last software update and it must have changed a setting back because it will no longer work. I can connect via a cable, just not wirelessly. It will say it found the network and is connected, but I can't get to the internet. Any help would be appreciated?
It sounds like your wireless connection is working correctly. You have power cycled all devices on the network, correct?
If not, power everything off for a few minutes, start the modem/router first and let it run a few minutes by itself, then start your computer(s).
If still no luck, can you temporarily disable the security on your network to see if you can connect that way? If you can, then it will take some experimenting to find a compatible setting between the router and computer(s).
If you can't connect with no security, then the focus turns to the router settings. Not sure what to suggest there as I'm not familiar with the FIOS equipment.

having trouble with my Airport Utility not supporting either of my Airports Expresses or Basestation. Do i have to update Firmware of airports or is the issue with my version of Utility which i believe is the latest. Thank you.
AirPort Utility in Mountain Lion will not support the older versions of the AirPort Express.....model numbers A1084 and A1088. Check on the side of the Express for the model number.
In addition, AirPort Utility in Mountain Lion will not support the older "round" or "dome" shaped versions of the AirPort Extreme.
Can you check to see how your devices might be affected? -

Having trouble with pop-up windows and ads for MacKeeper
I've been having trouble with pop-up windows and ads for MacKeeper and similar "services." Tried to download "MPlayerX" a week ago and it all started then. I thought I deleted the file but I'm still having trouble. I've been digging for solutions on here, but nothing I've found on here has worked yet--the VSearch stuff (I think) isn't on my hard drive. Any advice?
You installed a variant of the "VSearch" trojan. Remove it as follows.
This malware has many variants. Anyone else finding this comment should not expect it to be applicable.
Back up all data before proceeding.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/LaunchAgents/com.venus.agent.plist
Right-click or control-click the line and select
Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Drag the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password.
Repeat with each of these lines:
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.venus.daemon.plist
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.venus.helper.plist
Restart the computer and empty the Trash. Then delete the following items in the same way:
/Library/Application Support/venus
/System/Library/Frameworks/v.framework
The problem may have started when you downloaded and ran an application called "MPlayerX." That's the name of a legitimate free movie player, but the name is also used fraudulently to distribute VSearch. If there is an item with that name in the Applications folder, delete it, and if you wish, replace it with the genuine article from mplayerx.org.
This trojan is often found on illegal websites that traffic in pirated content such as movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow. Never install any software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or that was downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.
In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
Then, still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
Install system data files and security updates (OS X 10.10 or later)
or
Download updates automatically (OS X 10.9 or earlier)
if it's not already checked.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return. -
I'm having trouble with my 'sound up' and 'sound down' keys. They're doing other functions. This is only a relatively new thing.
You didn't mention what those "other functions" were. That might help!
First thing to check is System Preferences > Keyboard > Keyboard tab - make sure "Use all F1, F2, etc. keys as standard function keys" is un-checked. Hopefully that still works in Mountain Lion. -
Anyone having trouble with App Store install and cloud store buttons not working after 6.1 update? I go to install an app. I hit install and nothing happens. About a minute later it asks me for my password and then it does nothing. The install button goes back to saying install. However the app shows up in my installed list and in cloud but no app installed.
OK - I found a helpful post - closed app store app and under Settings/General/Date and Time I reset the date and time by switching off "Set Automatically" and then switching it on again. Went back to App Store, launched it and Updatesseems to be working again.
Go figure? Logical, No! -
I am having trouble with my Apple ID and AppStore
Here are the steps I have taken and the results:
Changed my Apple ID with new email address.
Changed my iCloud with above new email address.
NOW - Apple ID appears correct in AppStore Settings, iCloud and AppStore*
If I scroll to bottom of screen in *App Store/Featured, I can see that the Apple ID is my new email.
Upon “updating” Apple ID reflects OLD email.
Deleted accounts, re-added accounts.
Signed out and signed in with new UN/Email
Issue remains the same.To migrate your data to a new iCloud account go to Settings>iCloud and turn off all synced data (contacts, calendars, etc.), when prompted choose to keep the data on your phone. After everything is set to off, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. Next, create the new iCloud account on your phone and turn on syncing for contacts, calendars, etc again. If prompted, choose Merge. This will upload your data to the new iCloud account.

Am I having problems with my Airport Wireless?
I have a Mac laptop OSX v10.6 Snow Leopard.
I've had it for over a year now and had no problems. Recently I moved to a new house. My ISP sent me a new wireless router (brand: Netgear). My internet connection is fast. However, I often have difficulties accessing certain websites like gmail, google search, and twitter. The sites will simply fail to load and I will get a blank screen. At the same time I will be able to access other sites, like blogger and youtube. Rebooting the router usually solves the problem for about 30mins to 2 hrs, but after that the problem returns. This occurs in both Firefox (7.0) and Safari.
My Internet Service Provider, Virgin Media, claims that the problem is not with their service but must be with my computer. I find that had to believe as this Mac is not very old, and has never had this problem before. Furthermore, rebooting the router seems to temporarily fix the problem, so I suspect the issue is with the router. Is it possible that the problem is with my Airport Wireless or Mac? What can I do to remedy this problem? Why would this problem arise in the first place? I've done a system diagnostic and my computer appears to be healthy. I'm baffled and don't know how to approach fixing this on-again off-again random problem.The "extend a wireless network" setting on the AirPort Express is used only if you are trying to extend using a wireless connection between the AirPort Extreme and AirPort Express. You are using Ethernet.
When the Express is connected using Ethernet, you would configure it as follows:
Open AirPort Utility - Click Manual Setup
Click Wireless below the row of icons to display the Wireless settings page
Wireless Mode = Create a wireless network
Wireless Network Name = Same name as your AirPort Extreme network
No check mark needed next to Allow this network to be extended
Radio Mode = 802.11n (802.11b/g compatible) would be a good choice
Channel = Automatic
Wireless Security = Exact same setting as the AirPort Extreme
Wireless Password = Same password as the AirPort Extreme network
Confirm Password
Click the Internet icon
Connect Using = Ethernet
Connection Sharing = Off (Bridge Mode)
Click Update to save your settings and allow 40-45 seconds for the Express to restart
Power off the entire network....all devices
Power back up modem first for a moment, then the AirPort Extreme, then AirPort Express, then each device -
I am having trouble with my audio software and CoreAudio (seemingly)
Hi. I use my computer to run several audio-based programs on my Macbook such as Logic Pro, Ableton Live and junXion. Today, when practicing a laptop-based set with a friend, I used firewire into a Digidesign interface (I can't remember the exact make). In order to get this connection to work, I installed Avid's 002 firewire drivers.
Everything worked fine, however later on, after I had disconnected and shut down etc, I was unable to open any of my software that requires CoreAudio. This is quite worrying honestly. They just bounce on the dock for a while but do not open. It seems to stop when it gets to 'Checking MIDI Drivers', and then eventually (after quite a while might I add), it estimates that something is wrong with the MIDI drivers and asks to restart. I have done this several times but nothing has changed.
I noticed that in my audio devices (both input and output), it still says 'Digi CoreAudio Device', even though I am obviously no longer connected to that. I decided to try deleting the 002 firewire drivers from Avid, but this came to no avail, and it still says on my audio devices that the Digi CoreAudio Device is still there.
What is the problem here? Can anyone help me?
Fortunately, my Alesis M1 Active 320 USB monitors still work, and appear in my audio devices whenever I plug them in, and then disappear when disconnected. But it seems that something relating to to these Avid drivers have truly caused everything to go haywire.
Any help would be hugely appreciated.
Thank you.
Ben
Here are some screenshots. Please let me know if you wish to have more informtion.Aha! I have sorted it.
For those with similar problems, the solution is this:
Macintosh HD > Library > Audio > MIDI Drivers
Then delete DigiDioMidiDriver.plugin -
Downloaded new OS and having trouble with wifi, bluetooth Facebook and Skype performance
Dowloaded 10.2.1.537
When I first loaded this it had a lot of trouble finding my Wifi again and would disengage. Problem went away after a few hours but it recurred this am. Also affected Facebook.
Skype is loading more slowly and jumps to a black screen for 10-20 seconds. Then it will load and function but only for a few seconds to a minute and then shuts off completely.
Launching Skype also resultd in my bluetooth headset being disengaged sometimes.
Reinstalled Skype to see if that fixed anything.
Tried turning off bluetooth to see if that fixed the skype problem - nope still disengaged.
Cycled my router and cable and still no fix...
Running Z30
Would love to get a fix on this.Hello,
Given all of your issues, I'd guess that something did not go well with the update, and a clean reload would be in order. You accomplish that either through the LINK software or by obtaining an AutoLoader.
Good luck!
