Hope this helps internet problems for some of you!!!

Hi...I was experiencing the same problem a lot of folks on here have been dealing with. In short, our MacBooks or MacBook Pro's showing that we were fully connected to a network but unable to get on the internet. I'm by no means a tech expert, but I just got BOTH my MacBook and MacBook Pro working. I sure hope this helps at least a few of you b/c this has been a MAJOR pain for me and it is definitely isolated to the MacBooks. I've got three other Macs and they've never had this issue. Here's all I did:
I unplugged and actually reset the wireless router by holding down the reset button for 10 seconds. Powered it back up.
Came back to my computers and once again the signal strength showed I was fully connected. Still no internet though. So...I clicked on the Airport signal strength icon in the upper tool bar. To restate, this already showed that I was connected at full strength but I had no internet. Anyway, I clicked "Other" or "Join Other Network" in the drop down list. In the next pop-up window, I entered the "new" network name. I even just used the exact same network name over again. My particular network used a WEP password, so I put the original WEP password in, clicked OK and bam!...Without even rebooting the computers, the internet is working like a charm on both MacBooks.
GOOD LUCK TO ALL! Lemme' know if it works!

  • Beginning programmer: i need help its cake for some of you

    ok i have an assignment :
    hypothetically i have been given a data file that contains a letter(a,b,or c) and a number separated by a space it tellsme to create a program that will output the average each class of numbers (those w/ an 'a' on the same line, those w/ a 'b' etc etc.... this is all i have been able to get so far.... i'm trying to get this program to work so that it will print me all the numbers and letters on each line so that i know i can separate the info...... any help would be greatly appreciated
    import java.io.*;
    import java.util.StringTokenizer;
    import java.lang.String;
    public class HW2
         public static void main(String [] args)throws IOException
              BufferedReader br;
              br= new BufferedReader(new FileReader("filename"));
              String str= br.readLine();
              StringTokenizer st= new StringTokenizer(str);
              char c= st.nextToken.charAt(0);
              while (st.hasMoreTokens())
                   System.out.println(st.nextToken());
    }

    So you need to loop over each line in the file?
    You are almost there, the standard code is like this
    BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("filename"));
    String str;
    // for each line in the file
    while ((str = br.readLine()) != null){
      // process the line
      System.out.println(str); 
    br.close();Replace the "process the line" comment with code that you do for each line.
    Good luck,

    Sounds to me like you may have gotten a machine with hardware issues, but it's hard to say.  It will shut down if it gets too hot, but that's not a normal occurrence.  I have never seen a MacBook Pro shut down due to heat, even after lengthy 3D gaming sessions where the fans are running fast and the bottom of the machine is unpleasant to touch.
    First thing I would try to do is reset the SMC.  If that doesn't help, erase the hard drive and reinstall the system from scratch, which you should always do with a used machine anyway.
    If a fresh system doesn't help, you'll need to get it checked out by Apple.
    Edit: Oh, and sig is absolutely right...  please don't post in all caps!  It's very irritating.

  • I think I solved my time changing issues- hope this helps

    Hey everyone, I think I've had some success with my time changing issues. I originally posted this to another user as a follow up to her question, but I'm reposting it here. Hope it helps:
    "msteinny,
    So i went to the apple store to meet with an apple genius to ask him why my phone's time kept moving up 1 hour everytime I synced my phone. Well he said that he's never seen this problem before, and after a trying a reset and restore he let me exchange my phone. The problem is that when I went to sync my new phone the problem still persisted. They told me it was probably something to do with my computer and its time zone settings.
    So I get home and click on my computers clock in the bottom right hand corner to bring up the date and time properties and sure enought my time is correct, the date is correct and the time zone is correct (Eastern Daylight Time). So I look through the different tabs (Date & Time, Time Zone, Internet Time). The first thing I tried to do was to change where my computer syncs its internet time. It was originaly set on NIST time. I then switched it to Windows time, but this didn't do anything. My clock would still change when I synced to itunes. The next thing I tried was fideling around in the Time Zone tabs. I noticed that the box that says "Automatically adjust clock for daylight savings" was unchecked, so I checked it and my computer's time jumped an hour ahead. So I left the box checked but moved my clock one hour back (to the correct time), clicked on apply and left it at that. I synced my iPhone and voila! The time didn't change! It stayed on the correct time! To to make a long story short, make sure that you computer's clock is set on "automatically adjust clock for daylight savings changes, make sure your time zone is correct, and that the time is right when that box is checked. I hope this helps you. I'm glad I got a new phone out of the deal;)
    Chris P. "

    As I mentioned in my post, whenever I checked that box the time would be incorrect. It would move up an hour. I've messed with this along time ago, way before I got my iphone. I think this had something to do with the daylight savings change that was implemented this year or last year. I dont remember if I never tried correcting it before, or if I couldn't, but this time I didn't have any problems correcting it. Anyway, since I couldn't correct it back then, I just left the box uncheck and decided that I would change the time manually when the next time change occurs. But it seems to work fine now so all is well.

  • I hope this helps

    First off, Apple you suck. I've wasted countless hours trying to figure this thing out. There's nothing like your OS failing to load after you install that piece of s itunes and then once you get it to load your computer won't recognize your dern ipod. All the while the wife and kids are hollering at you to get it done. (how in the H i became the family IT guy is beyond me. i've formally resigned after this episode). 5'rs are you kidding me?Apparently some Mac guys got bored and thought it'd be funny to screw around with PC owners. Your support is worthless. With that catharsis out of the way I found the following on the ipod shuffle discussion board. Mine works now. Probably for the moment. But i am enjoying it. Too bad you have to go through such a pain to get to.
    "I have been at this for 4 days and constantly 8 hours. I tried everything found this under another post. (Bryce Traister wrote) and now my shuffle is singing to me it's great.
    I would recommend you copy it and paste to word or something and print it or email it to yourself so you have it when the system restarts.
    GOOD LUCK! let me know how it goes...
    "Hi,
    I like you had many problems getting my ipod shuffle to work properly. I finally got a very helpful apple tech guy to help me, and now it works. Here's what we did (these are instructions for windows xp machines):
    1. Go to apple.com/ipod/download, and download the latest software updater 2005 - 11 - 25.
    2. Once downloaded, install the software updater.
    3. Restart machine, with the ipod inserted in the USB port, power setting to OFF position.
    4. Once cpu is restarted, go to Start -->ipod-->ipod software updater.
    5. Click on "Restore" when the ipod updater window invites you to.
    6. Once finished, disconnect Ipod, and turn the power switch to one of the "on" positions (it doesn't matter which).
    7. Green light should come on and turn off. Turn off power switch a second time and wait 10 seconds.
    8. Insert ipod back into USB port; it should automatically start itunes, which should then offer to setup your ipod.
    9. It will automatically begin downloading all songs from your itunes library onto the ipod. WHen complete, you can disconnect ipod, and hopefully the thing will work.
    NB: unlike other mp3 players, you MUST use itunes to download your music onto the ipod. you cannot click and drag music using windows.
    Hope this helps, and shame on apple for making it so complicated.""
    Dell ?   Windows 2000  

    I hope this helps someone. After using online support twice, 2 trips to the Apple Store, talking on the phone with Apple care, and requesting a replacement, I finally got my son's Shuffle working. Both my children received Shuffles for Christmas. I had no problem getting my daughter's to work. When I plugged in my son's it opened iTunes, but the amber light blinked continuously and the iPod would not show up in iTunes.
    Here's what I finally figured out:
    My computer is connected to a network drive at my place of employment. Someone in my IT department notified me that a folder called iPod_Control was on the network drive and it showed me as the owner. I disconnected the mapped network drive from my computer and that solved the problem. That iPod will not work when my computer is connected to the network although the other iPod works just fine. Very strange...

  • My hotmail email has been hacked into. I've changed my password and hope this fixes the problem. Does this mean my imac software is infected. If so what should I do? Everything appears to be working ok.

    My hotmail email account has been hacked into. I've changed my email password and hope this fixes the problem.  Will my iMac system software now be infected and if so what should I do about it?  Everything appears to be working ok.   Is there a free to use software package available on the web, totally secure and reliable, which can scan my iMac for viruses and fix them if any are found.

    Unless you have installed anything, you are fine.

    I just went through this and it appears that my Focusrite Saffire was the culprit. I connected all the outputs on the focusrite according to the way the jacsk on the back were labeled and then set up the multichannel speaker setup to match. Then I went into STP, created a pink noise clip and panned it around, the LFE, center and rears were not in the right place.
    I reconnected the hardware to match the 5.1 pan pot in STP then changed the multichannel speaker setup to match. Everything appears to be correct now but I would have loved to have been able to just assigned the output busses to correct outputs in the saffire.
    Next step is to pan that pink noise around with my SPL meter to calibrate the room.

  • Password Problem for some applications:

    Password Problem for some applications: I'm unable to download Adobe Reader, Microsoft updates.  I have no password set to start the computer, applications such as Pages, Numbers, Keynote require no password for updates. 
    When I try to update Microsoft or Adobe Reader, first I try with no password, I get a hint and I know exactly what it means, but still unable to download.  I don't know enough about passwords as to why some I can download and others I can't.  So I don't know what I should read.  I'm the only user of this computer and prefer not to have to deal with passwords.  I'm using a MacBook Pro, Mac OS 10.9.3

    Oh what a tangled web we weave.  I read up on keychain and I don't understand what I'm reading.  Right now I cannot download my email on my computer, I can access it through the cloud. I'm sure it will be the same for the other iCloud feathers.   When I go to preferences and select iCloud when ever I try to sign in I get some dialog box it shows up "A keychain cannot be found to store 1076701306.  It doesn't matter whether I reset it or cancel it out iCloud preferences remains grayed out. 
    In keychain access on the left side under keychains and Read's local item, systems, and systems roots.
    When I select local items nothing shows up to the right under the name column even when down under all items is selected nothing shows up.  And nothing shows up to the right when under categories I selected the other options password etc.  On the other hand when I select under keychains systems, systems roots I do get items to show up on the right side under names under all items, passwords, etc.  Where do I start?

    I am an activist when it comes to rip-offs and I intend to set up a group to pressure the Ausralian government to legislate to make all computer software producers to make all new software compatible with all old software AT NO COST to the user.
    I thought about that myself, but when it comes to Windows XP. It is peculiar that software companies get away with "selling" software that suddenly stops working properly. The problem with XP is of course an environmental one as well. There is a huge number of fully functional PCs that suddenly are no longer supported by Microsoft, and that are not powerful enough to take newer supported MS operating systems. What MS basically recommends people is to throw them away with a horrible cost for our environment.

  • I've had this 2D array problem for ages and would apprecoate any help :)

    I've posted a few times about this in the past and with your guys help I have gradually advanced.
    Basically, all I want to do at the moment is fill the lowest position a counter can go in in a game of Connect Four.
    The first counter goes to the bottom, then if you place another counter in the same column it goes above the previous counter you put in that same column and so on...
    I have set up my 2D array and initialised integers for each player so when a counter is red the player = 1 and when yellow player = 2.
    Here is my code...
    CircleGrid [][] cArray = new CircleGrid[col][row]; //Declare array
    static final int row = 6;
    static final int col = 7;
    for (int i = 0; i < col; i++)
                        for (int h = 0; h < row; h++)
                             cArray[i][h] = new CircleGrid();
                             gameCenter.add(new CircleGrid());
                   JOptionPane.showConfirmDialog(game, "Welcome to Frenzy Fours. Press 'OK to begin or 'Cancel' to go back.", "Game", JOptionPane.OK_CANCEL_OPTION);
                   /*if (cArray[col-1][row] && cArray[col-2][row] == 1) //This doesn't work at all...array out of bounds !?
                        System.out.println("testing");
    public class CircleGrid extends JPanel implements MouseListener, MouseMotionListener
             int ifRed;
             int notIfRed;
                 boolean ifEmpty;
              String currentColour = "White";
              final int empty = 0;
              final int competitorOne = 1;
              final int competitorTwo = 2;
                 public CircleGrid()
                   ifRed = 1;
                   notIfRed = 0;
                   int redCircles = 0;
                   int yellowCircles = 0;
                   ifEmpty = true;
                   addMouseListener(this);
                 public void alternateColour()
                   ifEmpty = !ifEmpty;
                   repaint(); //Repaint upon changes
                 public void paintComponent(Graphics g)
                 if (ifEmpty)
                   g.setColor(Color.WHITE); //Set all of the ovals to white
             else if (ifRed == clicks)
                   position--;
                   addMouseListener(this);
                    g.setColor(Color.RED); //Paint red
                    currentColour = "Red";
                    System.out.println(getColour());

                   System.out.println(playerTwoMove());
                   g.fillOval(5, 10, 42, 42); //Draw and fill oval
                 public String getColour()
                   return currentColour;
              public int playerOneMove()
                   return competitorOne;
              public int playerTwoMove()
                   return competitorTwo;
                 public void mousePressed(MouseEvent ev)
                   alternateColour(); //Use commands from this method
                   if (clicks == 0)
                        clicks = 1;
                        repaint(); //Paint oval red
                        number--; //Decrement number of counters left by 1
                         counterNo1.setText(number + " counters left.");
                         move++;
                         moveCount1.setText(move + " moves.");
                   else if (clicks > 0)
                        clicks = 0;
                        repaint(); //Paint oval yellow
                        number2--;
                         counterNo2.setText(number2 + " counters left.");
                        move2++;
                         moveCount2.setText(move2 + " moves.");
                 }I think that is all of the code which matters for this!
    I didn't choose to do this project and it is really stressing me out! If anybody could give me a nudge in the right direction (in really simple steps) that would be awesome. I appreciate you guys do this voluntarily (and for some even work) so I would be deeply grateful for any assistance in this matter.
    Thank you. :)

    Computer iMac7,1 has been giving sundry problems for sometime. Within the last six weeks I have reinstalled the OS (Snow Leopard),without affecting the overall contents of the hard drive.
    ±3 weeks later the problems became more serious and I againreinstalled the OS and installed OS 6.6.7 from the internet.
    I used the option to restore from the external backup driveand went back some time as it was my intention to reinstall individualcomponent in an attempt to find out where the problem might lie. This hasintroduced an entirely new problem! If I open Time Machine from the desktop itappears that all backups from late 2009 to June 2011 are intact. But, in thiscase there are none of the restore functions &c on screen. The latter areonly shown if Time Machine is opened from the menu bar or from the dock but, inthis case, available are only backups in late 2009!
    I also opened the Apple Hardware Test in an attempt toestablish the nature of the problem. The ‘quick’ version said there’s nothingwrong; the more detailed one reported “Error detected, 4HD/11/40000004.” I haveagain tried to employ this test but nothing I do can induce it to open!!!
    What to do? I need help urgently and would appreciate anyadvice that offers solutions to the problem.

    To check your S.M.A.R.T status open disk utility and click on your drive and then click on the info icon.

  • Look what I found, hope this helps.

    Hi All,
    I found a great web site designed by Phil Stokes/Apple Help & Doc Writer who is, (quote from his web page):
    I am a technical communicator specializing in writing help, tutorials and documentation for software products that run on Mac OS, iOS, and X11, and I’m particularly interested in cross-platform software that needs Mac-specific documentation. I also advise on Mac usability, software architecture and design issues for ported software interfaces.
    Maybe he could help with some tekkie questions.  Check out his site at:  http://applehelpwriter.com/
    I think he's in the UK so allow for time difference.  He's great at responding immediately during working hours. 
    His Tutorials are so easy to follow too.  Great web page, very user friendly.
    I hope that some of you will find answers to your tekkie problems.
    I asked him about DivX, but that is not his area of expertise.
    Also, check out his "Free Download" tab.  He really does know what to recommend & what to avoid and why. 
    In the Uninstall MacKeeper thread, I learned about the Free Download called "Easy Find".  This is such an amazing app.  It's everything that Spotlight should be and isn't.  You have no idea how many hidden folders I found in a blink of an eye, even tho Finder & Spotlight showed none.
    If your going to try "Easy Find", just remember to check off a few things.  See pic below.
    Notice the "All Volumes" window with the drop down arrow, located in the upper right, under the magnifying glass.  I'm just experimenting with this app., and I think that "All Volumes" covers everything.  Once things are found, you just click on a line & then click "Reveal in Finder".  Wow, so easy. 
    Next, if you don't want to play around & just want to delete everything, just click the red circle "Delete" and your done.  It will only remove what it is showing
    in the list.  If you chose to only search Hard Drive or Home File, then that is only where it will delete from.  That's why I am using "All Volumes".
    Oh, and check out the Settings button too.
    Happy New Year Everyone!

    It does look interesting but so does the Liquid Mix:

  • What's This Help not working for one entry in each header file

    I have a large RoboHelp project that I have imported into Version 8 from a previous version. Prior to the import into Version 8, all of the What's This Help in the project was working perfectly; now, post-import, I have a problem.
    Firstly, some background information.
    My project contains a large number of individual header (.H) files, one for each dialog within the software. These header files, which have been generated and provided by our developers, contain one entry for each field on the dialog to which the header file relates. The header files are all contained within a \HTML Topics\Fields\ folder (going from the root of my Help project).
    Each header file has a corresponding text (.TXT) file. These text files contain entries that correspond to the entries in the relevant header file. The text files are also contained within the \HTML Topics\Fields\ folder.
    Below is an example of the contents of a header file:
    #define IDH_HIERARCHY_APPEARANCE_HIEARCHY_LIST          16811
    #define IDH_HIERARCHY_APPEARANCE_ADD_APPEARANCE         16812    
    #define IDH_HIERARCHY_APPEARANCE_REMOVE_APPEARANCE      16813
    Below is the contents of the corresponding text file:
    .topic IDH_HIERARCHY_APPEARANCE_ADD_APPEARANCE
    Click this button to add a new row of hierarchical appearance settings to the grid.
    .topic IDH_HIERARCHY_APPEARANCE_HIEARCHY_LIST
    Use this grid to define hierarchy appearance settings. Each row in the grid represents a level of the hierarchy. For example, the appearance settings you define for the first row apply to the top level of hierarchy, the settings you define for the second row apply to the second level, and so on.
    .topic IDH_HIERARCHY_APPEARANCE_REMOVE_APPEARANCE
    Click this button to delete the selected row of hierarchical appearance settings from the grid.
    The What's This Help that was part of the original project still works perfectly. However, after upgrading the project to RoboHelp Version 8, I have had to update the project to reflect changes to the software. As part of this work, I have imported some new header files and updated some existing ones - and edited the corresponding text files accordingly.
    The What's This Help that is covered by the header files that I have imported since the upgrade to RoboHelp Version 8 does not work correctly; in each case, the What's This Help does not work for whichever field appears at the top of the appropriate text file. The position of the entry in the corresponding header file does not make a difference.
    If I manually edit a text file to move a different entry to the top then recompile the Help project, the What's This Help does not work for the field that now appears at the top of the text file - and the What's This Help for the field that used to appear at the top of the text file now works.
    I've tried everything I can think of to fix this, but nothing has worked. It seems as if there is a problem in the way RoboHelp is compiling the header and text files.
    If I use Microsoft HTML Help Workshop to decompile the CHM file, then view the contents of the resulting, decompiled text files, the affected files appear as follows:
    .topic IDH_HIERARCHY_APPEARANCE_ADD_APPEARANCE
    Click this button to add a new row of hierarchical appearance settings to the grid.
    .topic 16811
    Use this grid to define hierarchy appearance settings. Each row in the grid represents a level of the hierarchy. For example, the appearance settings you define for the first row apply to the top level of hierarchy, the settings you define for the second row apply
    to the second level, and so on.
    .topic 16813
    Click this button to delete the selected row of hierarchical appearance settings from the grid.
    Note how the entry at the top - which relates to the What's This Help that doesn't work - appears differently to the other entries which do work. The name of the ID appears after ".topic" rather than the appropriate ID number.
    Any help that anyone can provide me with would be very much appreciated.
    Thank you,
    Mark

    Its working now. We just kept trying to reinstall the tools and restarting indesign. On the 4th time the buttons started working. I can't explain why it finally worked, just that it is working now.
