Having trouble with wifi
i have a mac osx that i have for 4~5 years
so the wifi i was able to connect everytime suddenly had an exclamtion mark on it so i clicked on it and a system app popped up with an option wheither my wifi is D something or P something (i forgot the names im so sorry) and i clicked the D selection ( because it said if my wifi needs an username and a password you have to choose the D selection and if my wifi doesnt need a username or a password you choose the P selection) i typed in my wifi name and the wifi password then clicked continue, my wifi completely doesnt work anymore.
the wifi was connected to all the devices at home but for my laptop it says that the airport cannot be connected.
Please help. what happened? what should i do??
Sorry I am a bit lost..
So apparently i made a new service on my wifi and my wifi connected!
If you setup a new wireless name on the Airport Extreme or airport express. Please tell us explicitly what wireless router you have.. is this what you setup the new service on?? And if your wifi on the laptop then connected then everything is fine.
But the thing is my AirPort service (the one i have connected ever since i got the laptop) is still not connected.
You just said you setup a new service and it worked.. why didn't you reset your airport router?? That is the one you should create the new connection on.
the AirPort is still not connected to my wifi.
Reset the airport router to factory and start again.
What OS exactly are running on the computer that fails??
If the Airport is more than 4 years old it might be faulty.. did you test it with other clients.. is it only the one computer that is failing??
Have you run hardware or wireless diagnostics on the computer to make sure it is not hardware on the computer?

Having trouble with wifi since upgrading to ios7
Having trouble with wifi since downloading ios7
I have had this problem on my iPad and iPhone 5 since the update in September. I called apple support numerous times, did all the troubleshooting, and went to the apple store and had both devices replaced under warranty. Nothing fixed the problem.
Then as a last ditch effort I called my internet service provider. Turns out that the ios7 doesn't seem to work on a wpa2 network and needs to be changed to a wep network. The tech did this over the phone and now both devices work normally connecting to my wifi! I am still nervous I'm going to run into more issues but so far so good. -
Having troubles with WIFI.
Dear All
Anybody a idea how to solve the following problem. Since upgrade to IOS 6 having problems with WIFI tried everything reset network settings changed the Itunes password, then all of a suden this Saturday WIFI was on line again, I thought yes all problems solved.

I already tried to a resset to factory settings via Itunes no luck.

Try powering off and then back on your router

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!

Having trouble with WiFi on an MSI GE60 0ND
I was having driver problems with Windows 8 (my laptop came with it) and decided to downgrade to Windows 7. Now, even after installing all drivers and updates, I am unable to connect to any WiFi networks, and troubleshooting tells me that I have to turn on wireless capability. Normally, this wouldn't be a problem at all, but I can't seem to find a wireless switch, and the button at the top of my keyboard does not change anything when pressed, even when I hold FN while pressing it, and it never lights up (the same thing happened when I had Windows 8). I've tried re-installing the N-135 drivers from both MSI's website and Intel's, and it still does not work with the same message. I've also tried FN + F8 and using Windows Mobility Center, and it says "Wireless off", but the option to turn wireless on is faded out.
Any help would be appreciated at this point, wired connection works by the way.Yes it is, open new topic. see: >>Please read and comply with the Forum Rules.<<
thanks

I thought it's worse to start a new one (since it regards a very similar issue and there is google -you know- referring this topic).
nope, messing with "similar" issues will cause a mess and less attention to topic starter.
and also chance for confusion and giving wrong stuffs to people will increase a lot. -

I'm having trouble with WiFi on my Blackberry Curve 8520?
I am currently using a Blackberry 8520 Curve, and I am using it without a data plan. So, I use internet by using WiFi.
However, I have found that when I am using internet it will often display 'Unable to find the requested server'. The browser is set to Hotspot, and connections on other devices such as laptop work fine.
The only way I can get internet working again is to go to 'Manage Connections', and switch WiFi off and then back on again. Only then does it start working. If I leave WiFi switched on, the connection eventually times out.
Has anyone else had this problem and how can it be fixed?Ok, you did.
Then try this, delete the WiFi profile for you router, do a simple reboot (With the BlackBerry device POWERED ON, remove the battery for a minute, and then reinsert the battery to reboot) and then set up the router again.
Give it a few days and see how it worksl

My wife and I share apple id but have our own phones, and now having trouble with imessage
My wife and I share apple id but have our own phones, and now having trouble with imessage. Sharing calenders, apps, music, contacts, etc...all great. But when we imessage each other. Our phones get confused and either not deliver message, or send it to and from itself.
Go to Settings > Facetime and you will see "You can be reached for video calls at:"
This should list your phone number (iPhone) and your email address (probably the gmail one).
And then an option for "Add another email..."
Choose that and enter your @me.com account and it'll send a verification email.
Same for iMessage: Settings > Messages > "Receive at" > Add Another Email
So you can be called by facetime and use iMessage through multiple email accounts yes. -
I'm having trouble with back to my MAC. I had everything working on my home wifi network but now I am at my daughter's house and trying to connect via a verizon hotspot wifi connection. I'm wondering if the Verizon hookup is a problem.
I finally figured it out. Needed to update her Airport firmware and allow guest access, and also changed Sharing preferences to Allow Access for All Users.

When I open Firefox it is suppose to take me to my Yahoo home page. But it opens up showing my wifes Yahoo sigh in page in stead of mine. Having trouble with Yahoo home page sign in. Some time it brings up my wife's Yahoo log in instead of my log in how can I fix this?
Did your wife tick the box on the Yahoo sign in page to remember her for two weeks?
It would be best two have two separate Firefox profile folders, one for each of you to prevent such problems.<br />
Then you also do not have problems with deleting or changing bookmarks.

Anyone else having trouble with their iPad disconnecting from wifi since 6.0.1 update
Anyone else having trouble with their iPad dropping wifi about once a week since 6.0.1 update?
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

I am having trouble with my wife's new iPhone 5s. She can receive her telus email but can not send any email what did I do wrong in setting up her account on her iPhone? I tried to just copy the info from her old iPhone.
The sending of email is accomplished via the SMTP server. Take a moment to get back into Settings>Mail, contacts, calendars and select the account. Go to the SMTP server and check to make sure that username and password are entered in all of the appropriate places. If you cannot get it to work after trying to just change those settings, remove the account from the phone and recreate it. When recreating, make sure you enter the username and password in every location, even if the phone says optional. Make sure you have the settings from either the email provider or from the other device. Make sure that SSL is on or off as necessary.
