HP Mini WIFI driver

I got a HP Mini running windows 7 starter, in order to connect to the internal newtork we needed to upgrade to Windows 7 proffesional 32 bit. this worked fine except that the wifi driver was missing which is normal in VLSC instatlion of windows and normaly this can be fixed by downloading the driver from the manufacters website.
After downloading the driver that was suggested as well as many others it still did not show the wifi bars but only the ethernet symbol with a cross showing no internte connection at all.
I then connected a 3g dongle and went into the device manager and the wifi driver was shown as other so right clicked and clicked scan for hardware changes and this then dowloaded a wifi driver but said it was unable to dowload ethernet driver.
it now shows the wifi bars symbol with a cross to show no avalbale networks but there is 11 diffrent wifi connection in the area within range including a open bt wifi hotspot and it will not recognise any of them.
I then tried a wirless wifi adaper which works fine on many dekstops that i have used it on but when i pluged it into the laptop it said driver instaltion failed.
I have ordered another wifi adapeter just incase but i suspect it will do the same thing as the adapeter definetly works
any advice as to how to get wifi on this machine is much needed. - I also only have 3 days to activate windows and this needes internet to do so and i do not really want to use the dongle if it can be helped. However the laptop is useless without wifi.
The laptop was given to us as a old laptop that was no longer used and is well out of HP customer support warrenty.
if anyone has any drivers that they think can help please email them to me at [email protected]

Wifi driver doesn't see my AP anymore. Very weird.

For some reason my wifi driver refuses to see my home AP. The strange thing is that it sees every other AP around. And that all other computers (including another Arch notebook and this notebook booted to Windows) detect my home AP perfectly.
'iwlist scanning' shows other networks, but not the one I'm looking for, though it's the closest one.
Reloading module didn't help. Neither did rebooting.
Everything worked yesterday (as it was before), and I don't recall that I've made an update or something.
The computer is HP Mini-Note 2133. Broadcom BCM412 driver.
I have both "wl" and "lib80211_crypt_tkip" drivers enabled.
Both 'ssb' and'b43' are blacklisted
Do you have any ideas?
Thanks!

Sorry for sounding so noobish, but try to get a near as posible to the router and scan. Also (since you mentioned you have another laptop) try them both side to side and see the results.
If you still can't get a connection post the iwlist scan output.

T400 unable to re-install WiFi driver

Hi,
I am cleaning and re-installing Windows XP on several laptops.
I have an issue with 2 T400 laptops when trying to re-install WiFi driver.
First, I used the same procedure on several Lenovo laptops (T61, T61p) and I didn't encounter any issue.
The drivers I have downloaded are from Lenovo Website, using the full product identification.
Before cleaning and re-installation, WiFi was working well.
Here is how I proceed:
- install Windows XP Pro SP2
- install SP3
- install Ethernet driver
- install WiFi driver
and there comes the issue. The installation goes OK but the WiFi connection is not present in the Network Connections window. The little light with the WiFi symbol is not light up.
The manual switch on the front of the laptop is on (and the Bluetooth light is on).
I tried Fn-F5 but no change.
I tried to install Power Management, then WiFi driver, still not working.
I tried the pruduct detection but it gave me the same driver.
The file I downloaded is 7ywc54ww.exe.
Do you have an idea on how I could do to solve that?
Thank you.
Solved!

Hmmm, seems to be 5 wireless drivers for the T400.
Yours is this one >>> Wireless LAN ThinkPad (11bg, 11abg, 11abgn) for Windows XP, 2000 - ThinkPad
Try the other 4.

Mountain Lion on Mac Mini - WiFi unstable for Internet Sharing

I have a Mac Mini Mid 2010 MC270LL/A previously on 10.6.8 and everything worked fine.
I have it plugged into a Plasma TV via HDMI and network via CAT6, but it also doubles as a WiFi access point via Internet Sharing.
Previously WiFi was secured via WEP, I don't recall if 10.6.8 had anything stronger, most likely not, otherwise I would have gone WPA2.
I have now done a clean install of 10.8. ie erase hard drive, boot from USB and lay down a clean install of Mountain Lion.
Software update downloaded a new Firmware, which has also been applied and rebooted.
Now I've set-up Internet Sharing, used same SSID (maybe should have picked a new one in hind-sight), but secured via WPA2 - the only option.
Previously my Macbook Air 13" MC965LL/A, had undergone the same clean install treatment via wipe, then boot from USB and install 10.8.
The Wifi worked flawlessly with Macbook Air on 10.8 connecting to Mac Mini on 10.6.8 (Secured via WEP), no drop outs, connected even after sleep.
Even the power nap feature worked really well, I was impressed that when I open the lid on the Macbook Air, I had emails already waiting for me.
Now with the Mac Mini on 10.8, it's a really sad state, constant WiFi dropouts, my File Sharing disappears, Screen Sharing stops, it's a real pain.
I'm hoping it's not the new firmware, I guess I'll find out when I restore to 10.6.8 and see how it goes.
Anyone else have issues with Mac Mini WiFi on 10.8 ?

This is the System log on the Macbook Air while sleeping - connected with wifi to Mac Mini under 10.8

I have an IPad mini WiFi (not cellular) and an IPhone 5. I use the bluetooth connection between both devices when on the road. I downloaded a navigation system on my IPad using GPS positioning. Is Bluetooth OK to use GPS positioning on the IPad?

Hi
I have an IPad mini WiFi (not cellular) and an IPhone 5. I use the bluetooth connection between both devices when on the road. I downloaded a navigation system on my IPad using GPS positioning. Is the Bluetooth connection working to use GPS positioning on the IPad using IPhone 5 as the hotspot?
Thanks for your input

Possible to view presentations with embedded clips on the ipad from an external wifi drive?

Hello,
first of all I am happy to have joined this community, my name is Chris from Germany.
I am wondering if this setting is possible:
I have bought an external wifi drive (Seagate Satellite Goflex) as well as the iPad4.
I am giving lectures (powerpoint and keynote presentations containing lots of embedded video clips).
Now I would like to show these presentations with my iPad connected to the Wifi drive.
You have to download a special Seagate App on the iPad to be able to see the data on the external wifi drive - I have managed to open the powerpoint files in the App (unfortunately keynote files are not supported by the Seagate App) but when I open them with keynote or goodreader the embedded media will always be removed.
Is this the end of the story or are there any solutions (i.e. with other hardware devices or software)?
Have a nice New Years Eve and thanks in advance,
Chris

yes and no ...
I have figured that out:
First of all: you can`t just view presentations on an external device without importing them into your iPad (at least when you plan to show slides with embedded clips) - goodreader, filebrowser, dropbox ... just show you "static" slides.
When you import a ppt-presentation into keynote all the hyperlinks, embedded clips ... are gone - no chance.
But ... in keynote you are able to "embed" video clips when you drag and drop them directly into the slide alowing "copy video into the document" as well (that is "vital") - the files are getting larger but you don`t have to add a clip when you transfer it to another device (i.e. the iPad) - they are "fixed" in the document..
Now seagate goflex has the problem that you just can`t open/view keynote presentations - but there is a solution:
hacksatellite firmware. When you install that you can go into keynote, activate WebDav, import a keynote file from the external drive, edit it and send it back to the external drive - so: import (can`t live without that), show or edit the presentation, copy it again to the external device and delete the presentation in the iPad (to save storage) is the way you can get the optimum from the iPad at the moment.
Correct me if there is any other more comfortable solution.
Thanks for your reply Daniel,
Christian

Windows Vista Tip - Updating Drivers, all you really need is a network or wifi driver

So just what do I mean by this? Often times, on Windows Update, Drivers are already available for your device, so why not just install a NIC or WiFi driver and let Windows Update take care of the rest of the dirty work? You have to update your computer anyway so why not.
Worth a try and much easier then searching left and right for those drivers.

Sometimes the WHQL-certified drivers are not nearly as good as updated non-WHQL drivers. (WHQL certification means very little IMO...) Windows Update only provides WHQL-certified drivers, and in my experience (especially with regards to laptop video) doesn't even find the latest WHQL revision.
I don't think I've ever received an up-to-date driver from Windows Update - it is in my experience consistently out of date by a significant period of time compared to getting the latest drivers from the device vendor.

My mac mini hard drive is failing. I am no longer under warranty. Do you know how much it cost to have Apple replace the hard drive? or How I can replace it myself?

You can do it yourself. I did on my 2009 Mini

Programs repeatedly crashing on my late 2012 Mac Mini Fusion Drive

I have a late 2012 Mac Mini Fusion Drive 2.6ghz, 16gig RAM running Mac OSX 10.9.4 . For the past week or so I have had a number of programs - both Apple and third party apps crash repeatedly, I have repaired permissions and restarted numerous times but nothing seems to fix it. For example Mail would crash each time I cancelled a password being accepted by Mail in a particular account, Safari has crashed for various reasons. Apple Motion has also crashed more times in the past day or so than it ever has in the past year. It's crashing when I try to add a point or node to a line in an animation I'm finishing.
Does anybody have any idea why this is happening now and does anybody know how to fix it?

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
For this step, the title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
          SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
          View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
In the top right corner of the Console window, there's a search box labeled Filter. Initially the words "String Matching" are shown in that box. Enter the name of the crashed application or process. For example, if iTunes crashed, you would enter "iTunes" (without the quotes.)
Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
☞ The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
☞ Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
In the Console window, select
          DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ User Diagnostic Reports
(not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of crash reports. The name of each report starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report related to the process in question. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.
If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a crash, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful.

Serious Mac Mini DVD Drive issue!

Ok guys, having big troubles with my Minis disc drive at the minute!
Heres what happened…
Tried to copy some files off a DVD so that I could make several copies of it for my grandfather. The Disc is a home made one that he made himself, complete with a label over the top of the disc.
When I put the disc in, it was a little noisy, but nothing unusual. When spinning the disc to take the files off however, the whirring became a loud vibrating/grinding noise, and went on for quite some time. It then slowed down, until it eventually stopped. At this point, the DVD drive itself (and not the Mac!) started playing an on off tone that sounded less than happy. Sounded quite similar to an alarm of some kind. Strangely it was clearly a hardware noise, and not a software noise.
Pressing the Eject button on the keyboard did nothing, reboot, the warning tone continued, and only after pressing the on and off button twice to get it to hibernate then wake up, did it want to spit the disk out.
I just put a standard film DVD in now to see if the drive was working, it took it in quite happily, whirred away fine, no horrible noises, but didnt find the disk, and now wont eject it for love nor money.
When going into System profiler to see if the Disc drive has some osrt of error status or anything hardware related messages, it causes System profiler to crash. All the other menu items work fine, but going to disc reading crashes it everytime

I think the lesson here is: DON'T use labels on discs (or tell your grandfather not to!)
You may have damaged your disk drive. If you are OK with computer maintenance, you can change it yourself for just the cost of a new one - £30-£40 from eBay - much, much less than getting Apple to do it.

I want to erase my mini hard drive. where do I get a new operating software

I want to erase my mini hard drive. Where do I get a new operating software to reinstall on the wiped hard drive?

If you have Lion or later boot to the Recovery partition and reinstall the OS
OS X: About OS X Recovery
Otherwise you have to boot from your install disk and reinstall the OS.

hi erabbath,
Welcome to the Forums.
If you have the Intel Centrino N2230 Wireless + Bluetooth adapter, can you try to:
1. Navigate to the Control Panel (large icon view) > Devices and Printers and try to pair a bluetooth device (i.e. Bluetooth Headset) and observe if it gets detected under the device list.
2. If the Bluetooth Headset is listed but it's not working try toright click on it > choose Properties. On the bluetooth properties Window, go to the Services Tab and check all the appropriate bluetooth services.
Sample picture
Let me know your findings.

Creating Partition in Mac Mini Hard Drive

i Have buy a mac mini a week ago, but before three days ago, some file got corrupted, and it does not start, only the password screen appears, when i entered the password, the screen appears again. and it continues. Now i want to partition the mac mini hard drive. i have only one drive, and i want to create another partition in the hard drive. when i create another partition through the disk utility , i gives error, and cannot create the partition. i acutally want that first i make partition in the hard drive, and after using the "restore from time machine option" to install the mac osx lion in the system. Please help me in make the partition in the hard drive.

Apple themselves don't specify hard drive RPM because they buy a number of different drives, some apparently 4200 some apparently 5400.
It's no surprise that your retailer wants you to buy a G5 though, and is trying to upsell one based on the minis weaknesses - after all, they get more money from a G5 sale than from a mini. They may also be considering your planned use of Photoshop as a stumbling block to effective use of a mini, but the question really is what you intend to use Photoshop to do. If you're a hobbyist, the system is fine and will work more than adequately - particularly if you max out the RAM. If you're a professional user with pro-level expectations, then a mini likely wouldn't be sufficient, not so much due to the drive speed (powerbook users have run Photoshop verisons for years quite happily on what are predominently 4200rpm drives) but because for pro work, Photoshop needs a lot of hard drive space and a great deal of RAM.
On the basis of what you've posted, I'd say your retailer is more interested in their profit than your need. Chances are, if you run PS on the G4 listed in your profile, you're already running on a drive of similar general performance.

HT1222 IPad mini wifi+cellular does not allows to enable restrictions in fact there is no such alternative under Settings- General.. I need the passcode for several purpose, how can to avail it?.. Please somebody ASAP

Hello,
A day before got new IPAD mini (Wifi-Cellular). When trying to look forpasscode enable option, it ended with nothing to avail. Would like to know if there is any such priviledge or not. Secondly, when the iPad is left idle for awhile ,say, 5 minutes,, a poor screensaver pops up and continues to play IPad advertisement, which we usually find in DEMO products @stores. Doubtful, if seller has handed over bad/demo stuff to me. Please suggest. It took whole of last night to figure out on Google, but no success.
Thanks

Morning driving,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
You can configure a passcode for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch using Settings > General > Passcode Lock.
iOS: Understanding passcodes
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4113
If you are unable to modify certain passcode settings, there may be a configuration profile that requires these passcode options.
You can find out if a profile is installed by tapping Settings > General and looking for the Profile setting between Accessibility and Reset.
Best of luck,
Mario
