Hotspot problem: Only Apple products work, Why???
Hi,
I am having issues with the personal hot spot on my iPhone 4s.
Firstly it was not there when I got the phone!!
EE sent me a text, read and delete. Turn phone off and then on. It was there, Great!!!
Why is it that I can only connect Apple products to it???
I have tried it with a Fujitsu Siemens laptop running Windows 7, I have tried a Dell Laptop running Windows 7.
I have tried a Fujitsu laptop running Windows XP and even my old Nokia N8-00 mobile phone.
They all connect and the Iphone says connected but no traffic, always "Webpage not available"
Connect using my iPad and straight on no problems what so ever.
Please help!!!
Exactly which model AE is this??
What firmware is it running?
Does the PC work if you plug in by ethernet? Is this only wireless issue?
(You mention the problem is with all PC's you tried but not if you were using wireless or ethernet)
I am guessing wireless as if there are problems it is generally wireless.
Does the PC get DNS address?
If you open a command prompt can you do a couple of tests.
ping 8.8.8.8
What does that do?
tracert 8.8.8.8
Copy and paste here the results of ipconfig /all
Has the windows computer located itself to home.. or is it work or public?
For internet access it should not matter but I would prefer to see it located home.

I recently bought a lightning to 30 pin adapter for my new iPad so that I could continue to use my 30 pin to VGA cord, but when I plug the VGA cord into it it says it is not supported. They are all apple products, so why doesn't it work?
If it is a lightning to 30 pin adaptor, and you have a 7th Generation Nano it has to fit the Nano.
This is lightning to 30 pin adapter: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Apple%26%23174%3B---Lightning-to-30-Pin-Adapter/6651 936.p?id=1218803450821&skuId=6651936#tab=overview
Is this what you bought?
You need to contact Sony and see if they model you have is compatible with the docking adapter. It may not be. -
I just hooked up Internet at my house today and I'm trying to connect to it on my IPhone and IPad but neither are connecting. My grandma's Android phone is connected and is working just fine. Why isn't any of my apple products working?
Since you give no clue as to what make/model/version WiFi router you are using or how you have it configured it's hard to comment.
Look here for some WiFi troubleshooting advice http://www.apple.com/support/ipad/wifi/. -
Why do I continue to have difficulty connecting to WiFi from my iPhone5? It rarely even picks up signals from networks when my other apple products work.
Hey CEW724,
Thanks for the question. I understand you are experiencing issues with Wi-Fi connectivity on your iPhone 5. The following resource may help to resolve your issue:
iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
1. Be sure you're in range of your Wi-Fi router (access point).
2. Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and turn Wi-Fi off and on. If your W-Fi setting is dimmed,follow these steps.
3. Confirm that your Wi-Fi router and cable or DSL modem are connected to power, turned on, and connected to the Internet. If not, refer to your network administrator or Internet service provider (ISP) for assistance.
4. Restart your iOS device.
5. Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and locate the Wi-Fi network to which you're connected.
6. Tap and Forget this Network.
7. Try to connect to your desired Wi-Fi network.
Note: You may need to enter your Wi-Fi password again if your network requires one.
8. Turn your Wi-Fi router off and on. If your ISP also provides cable or phone service, check with them before attempting this step to avoid interruption of service.
9. Update your device to the latest version of software.
10. Update your Wi-Fi router to the latest firmware. For AirPort Base Stations, install updates using the AirPort Utility.

2, Move closer to your wireless router (access point) and attempt to locate the Wi-Fi network.
3. If you do not see the network you would like to join, you may be attempting to connect to a hidden network. Learn how to join a hidden network.
4. Supported Wi-Fi configurations vary by iOS device model. Find out which standardsyour device supports3.
5. Reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Note: This will reset all network settings including:
- previously connected Wi-Fi networks and passwords

My problem is Apple products used to work so well and be so easy to use. What happened?
My problem is Apple products used to work so well and be so easy to use. What happened? Whether its transferring Word and Pages documents, downloading and using iBooks, etc.
Apple products still work so well and are easy to use....what's the problem?

I tried sending this in Apple's feedback section and there wasn't enough space.
This is a personal comment about Apple product, but i believe other will connect with it.
i didnt know where else to put it.
Firstly I am and have been an avid believer of apple products for many years but after having to replace my broken MacBook pro problems within Apple products have come to light. I have lost faith completely with Apple and all it products. I feel my argument is justified and will be understood by many consumers.
Apples ferocity in upgrading and renewing how their systems work used to be admirable, you could rely on Apple to create a better product that understood its client’s needs. Now all I see is the constant changes with each model released as being a desperate ploy to make more money and sucker consumers into buying Apple Products.
I could simply be raising an issue in our current consumer society, this blind need for the biggest brands and products running our lives. I to, like most, give in to the capitalist marketing scheme, that if I buy that particular product that has been advertised on every billboard and TV advert, my live will be better. I honestly believe that this system is corrupt, yet we all still buy in to it.
I have just replaced my 2009 MacBook Pro 13inch with a brand new 2013 MacBook Pro 13inch. The first issue which is personal to me is the disappearance of the CD drive and Ethernet port. Secondly myself along with a number of others have had a long standing hate with Macs only having two USB ports thankfully they were next to each other. Now with my new MacBook Pro USB ports are on either side of the computer which creates an impossible obstacle when trying to plug in a device that needs two USB ports to power it. These are minor annoyances that can be resolved with the help of more money.
Thirdly Apple is known for doing this, changing the power plug and outlet with each new model. Firstly the new iPhones and now with MacBook’s. It makes everyone’s life that much harder when power cord cost up to $120, how hard is it to have one reliable design that can be used throughout each model.
I question Apples design skills as with every model the basics keep changing, Apple in the past had already perfected, them they are now just finding new ways to profit. Their need to keep making smaller models has meant that many people will now have to go out and spend more money when it should've been included to begin with.
I understand that Apple as a company stays wealthy off the money of its consumers and I could make the same arguments with most companies, I don't understand how Apple can be so knowingly obtuse with how they treat their products.
I am no way fully educated on Apple products, my complaints come from mine and others observations using the apple products, but I feel compelled to put this opinion forward.It looks like something is wrong with 'Textual 5'. It's using a lot of memory and a lot of CPU and is generating a lot of diagnostic reports. Use the search facility in Console.app to search for 'Textual' and paste a sample of what comes up here.
Also, I suggest you get rid of 'iStatMenus' using the uninstaller from the developer's site.

P.S. Many people will tell you that 4GB is not enough RAM, and maybe they are correct. But, I have been running OS X 10.10.3 with 4GB RAM (instead of my normal 16GB) on a low-end 2009 iMac for about a week and it has been absolutely fine for what I would call 'office work'. I haven't been editing videos or Photoshopping high-def pictures, but I've been using and switching between MS Word, Powerpoint, Excel, Mail, Safari, Preview, Intaglio, TextWrangler, Terminal, CyberDuck and various other things all open at the same time while playing music on iTunes with absolutely no issues. -
How can I lock, put in lost mode or wipe memory on my stolen iPad if it is the only apple product I own?
I have already tried this and it doesn't work. It only says no devices. Suppose this means that whoever stole it have already wiped the memory so they can use or sell it. Although I would think the serial number should be connected to the hardware permanently somehow. Don't know how you do that on an iPad that requires a pass code to login to.

My Apple TV gen 3 has stopped downloading shows from Netflix. All I get is an error message. I have logged out and back into Netflix. All of my other Apple products work well with Netflix.
Welcome to the Apple Community.
Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
Restart your router. (Also try removing it’s power cord for at least 30 seconds)
Reset the Apple TV (Settings > General > Reset > Reset all settings)
Restore the Apple TV (Settings > General > Reset > Restore) -
bluetooth. When turned on on ipad canot found other device. Nevertheless the ipad can be found by other devices and paired, transfer of data cannot be done since on ipad the paired device is shown as not connected. Is it that the other device is not an apple product?
The transfer of data by Bluetooth is not supported on the iPad. Here are the supported Bluetooth profiles.

I have heard that unless I have a Mac or newer AirPrint printer, I will not be able to print from my iPad. This is my first apple product, so I really hope that is not the case, or it may have to go back. I do not want to have to go out and buy a new printer when mine works fine and is only a couple of years old. Please let me know if there is a solution to my problem.
Check the app store for a third party printer application. Depending on who made your printer, the manufacturer may have an app. Otherwise, look for a third party app.
Whatever you find won't have the flexibility you would obtain if you had an AirPrint printer. For example, Epson has an app, but it cannot print from all functions (e.g., mail). -
Since I reinstalled my software from my timemachine, my macbook pro 13" 2011 i7 4GB is acting weird.
Only apple's software makes a connection to the internet.
Other software products like chrome, spotify and dropbox tell me there is some sort of proxy problem.
When opening spotify it says:
there is problem, your firewall blockes spotify, or you are using a proxy.
But I've resetted the proxy settings to the original state, which is none of the choices selected in system preferences, and turning off my firewall doesn't help.
What should I do?Tijmen104 wrote:

Only Apple products will connect to Airport Extreme
Until a couple of weeks ago all was fine with my Airport Extreme. Now, only our Ipad2 and Iphone5 will connect, my laptop and blackberry cannot (they were ok before).
The AX is setup in bridge mode and is working fine for the ipad and iphone but my laptop and BB don't even see the AX when i scan for wifi networks. I have done a couple of power cycles and turned off my bitdefender firewall but to no avail.
Any suggestions?have you configured your Airport extreme to provide addresses via DHCP?
If your WiFi settings are:
IPv4 Address: 10.0.1.4
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Router: 10.0.1.1
DNS Server: 10.0.1.1
and WiFi is working with no problems
then having the same settings, just different IP address' last digit should work for Ethernet...
Have you connected the Ethernet cable to the computer as well as the Airport Extreme ?
Alternatively, you may change DNS server address to 8.8.8.8 -
Creative Inspire 5300 5.1 Problems - Only Two Speakers Work 100%
I recently purchased the Creative Inspire 5300 5.1 speaker system for my home computer, thinking that a low-end setup would work fine until I gathered the resources to trade them in for something better. Upon hooking them up though I find that they do not work as I was led to believe. The front two corner speakers and subwoofer work fine, just as they would if they were a 2.1 setup, however the center and back speakers make no noise. I know I have them hooked up correctly as I can go into my onboard soundcard?s setup program and test them individually, but in actually practice they do nothing. Not with games or movies that are supposedly 5.1 enabled.
I'm clueless as to what the problem may be. Is it that I need a Creative brand soundcard, that may Abit motherboard and it'ss built-in soundcard are unable to establish the proper frequencies or whatnot? Perhaps I do not have the appropriate surround sound drivers installed? Any help would be vastly appreciated.DevNull7,
You may need to enable certain settings within your sound card to upmix the Stereo to 5.1. Check with your sound card support for further information. They should be able to assit you on this.
