HT204210 Why doesn't WiFi automatically connect anymore?

I have to manually connect to each wifi each time I come across it. It no longer automatically finds my remembered wifi networks like it used to. Any way to workaround it?

You can modify the pref keyword.URL on the about:config page to use Google's "I'm Feeling Lucky" or Google's "Browse By Name".
* Google "I'm Feeling Lucky": http://www.google.com/search?btnI=I%27m+Feeling+Lucky&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=
* Google "Browse by Name": http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&sourceid=navclient&gfns=1&q=

To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website. 
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.

Here are some suggestions for getting the best results from this site.
Create a user profile that accurately reflects the type of hardware you're using and your version of OS X, or include that information in your first message.
Give details of the problem. A remark such as "I think I have a virus," or "How do I reinstall," or "X doesn't work" conveys no useful information. If X did work, you wouldn't be here. Instead, you should post something like this: "I did A; I was expecting B; but I got C instead." Include the complete, verbatim text of any error messages you saw, and specify where you saw them: in an application window, a CrashReporter window, a log, or whatever.
Also describe the steps you’ve taken yourself, if any, to try to resolve the issue. If the problem is of recent origin, did you make any changes to your setup just before you first noticed it? Is the problem reproducible or intermittent? That is, does it always manifest itself when you take a certain action, or only at unpredictable times?
Before posting, ask yourself whether it’s likely that you are the the only person ever to have had this problem. If not, search the discussions for answered questions similar to yours. If you found any pertinent information, but it didn't help, give details.

Hi Razmee,
Thanks for your response.
The mail server worked when I originally set it up and continued to work for months afterwards.
What would make the outgoing mail server not be set up correctly after all that time?
Thanks again.

Why doesn't my iPhone connect to tv? Keeps saying "this accessory is not supported by this iphone"

I assume you are running ios 8.x. It's a bug.
Wait for a fix from apple. ... OR ... You could buy a new Apple brand connector. The latest connectors will work, even the older apple brand connectors do not work. OR try re-booting your ipad. OR wait until the video starts then attach the connector.

- Try resetting the iPod. Nothing is lost:
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on the router.

Why my 4s cannot automatically connect itunes ? is only charging.

why my iphone 4s cannot automatically connect or sync to itunes ? is only charging when the cable connected.

The quickest way to charge your iPad is with the included 10W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter. When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes.
 Cheers, Tom

Why does my Mac automatically connect to my sound bar?

I have a MacBook Pro 13" Late 2011 model and I have paired it to an Orbitsound M9 Soundbar. My problem is that everytime I am on the computer and it is in range it automatically connects, I dont want that to happen, I just want to connect to it when I feel like it, not all the time.
Any help with this wee issue would be great!!

I have the soundbar on for tv and I always have bluetooth on for my magic mouse, this has never happened with bluetooth speakers I've had in the past

Why doesn't Wifi Sync work after updating ITUNE?

Hello, I updated my Itune to 11.1.4.62 version.
After updating, WIFI sync doesn't work anymore. I have to connect the cable to my laptop to sync it. Before this upgrade it was working fine.
Now, I have Iphone 5. I run Windows 7.
I did all the recommended trouble shooting.
I disconnected the model and router and reconnected again.
On Summary page the Wifi Sync is CHECKED
I ran the diagnostic, but obviously it says iphone is not detected.
I reseted my iphone.
It still doesn't work.
How can I solve this matter and why does Apple have so many irrtating problems like this?

The passcode screen shows as usual but when I enter the passcode it says the passcode is invalid. This is the same passcode I have had for over a year, so I am sure I entered it correctly. I stopped trying before the phone was disabled though.
I've seen other similar posts but they mostly say connect it to my computer, start itunes, then restore. I haven't synced with itunes in a long time, not sure restoring it would be a good idea. I back up to iCloud much more frequently but can't remember for sure when I last did that either. I'm afraid of losing stuff in the process of restoring it.

Why doesn't Numbers automatically sort?

I have a slider on a table that updates numerical value in a cell which, in turn, automatically updates (via a calculation) a 2nd table on another sheet. I have a 3rd table (on a 3rd sheet) that is sorted by a value which is calculated partly with a value in the 2nd table. I'd like this 3rd table to automatically sort after I move that slider in cells on table 1. It doesn't!
Anyone know why? how?

If you want to sort that table automatically, you can do it in a fourth table or within Table 3. For the example below, I'm going to do it all in Table 3. It assumes you want to sort column B and there is another column, A, that needs to stay matched up with it. Personally, I'd do it in another table but it's less typing to give the example this way.
We will use Column D to sort column B. To sort the column of numbers smallest to largest, use the SMALL function.
D2=SMALL($B$2:$B$5,ROW()-1)
D3=SMALL($B$2:$B$5,ROW()-1)
D4=SMALL($B$2:$B$5,ROW()-1)
D5=SMALL($B$2:$B$5,ROW()-1)
To reorder Column A to match the newly sorted B column, use the LOOKUP function:
C2=LOOKUP(D2,$B$2:$B$5,$A$2:$A$5)
C3=LOOKUP(D3,$B$2:$B$5,$A$2:$A$5)
C4=LOOKUP(D4,$B$2:$B$5,$A$2:$A$5)
C5=LOOKUP(D5,$B$2:$B$5,$A$2:$A$5)
You can do the same LOOKUP to re-order any other columns.
EDIT: One major drawback in this is that the values in column B better be unique (i.e., no two alike). The sort of column B will go fine in any case but the matching up of the other columns will get hosed if B does not have uniques values. There may be a more robust way to do the matching besides LOOKUP.

MobileMe Gallery + Smart Folder; why doesn't it automatically update?

I used to use Photocasting on iPhoto 6. This worked great in that I published a photocast of a smart folder and any new items that matched the smart folder were automatically published.
I upgraded to iPhoto '08 specifically so that people could subscribe to an album via RSS and have it work on any computer.
Unfortunately, with iPhoto '08 the MobileMe Gallery doesn't seem to remember that it was based on a smart folder and I have to manually add additional pictures to publish in the MobileMe Gallery.
What am I missing? All I want is to have a smart folder automatically publish all new matches to an RSS feed for my friends & family to see new pics.
Please advise as to how anyone is able to accomplish this.

MobileMe galleries are separate from the album that you initially use to create them. Any photo added to the album also has to be manually added to the gallery. It's the nature of the beast. You can put in a feature request to Apple via http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

Why doesn´t Bluetooth ´t connect my keyboard

Bluetooth doesn´t connect my keyboard. I have an iPad 3 and it was always connected with my Logitech keyboard via bluetooth. Some days ago I had to disconnet it for a short time but afterwards it didn´t connect any longer. A window opened, that told me again and again "Connection failed". So I tried to connect mi iPhone 5 S with the keyboard and there it worked. So I presume that something is wrong with my iPad. Who can help me? Kind regards klaus 1003

Why doesn't iPhoto automatically open Mac Mail?

I'm hating iPhoto at the moment. I use Mac Mail so that I can keep track of sent mail. iPhoto doesn't do this. For example, I just discovered that a dead email account was still on the list in iPhoto preferences, so I'm not sure if the email I just sent went using my current or my old address. I naturally went to Mac Mail to check my sent list, but there is no indication that I sent an email to anyone.
I also do not like typing the email within a browser window. I would much prefer it when I click "share" that Mac Mail would automatically open.
I really, really wish Apple would solve this problem.

Go to iPhoto's Accounts preference pane and delete the mail account that's there. Then add it back and try Mail again.

Why doesn't my pc connect to apple ipad via USB cable

Connected my ipad to my pc via USB cable. Pc does not. Connect with it. under Computer device does not appear. My other external devices are ok though it recognises them ok I e external hard drive
What can I co to find out fault. It worked once before when I copied photos across from ipad to pc ok

If the iPad does not show up in My Computer when you first connect it (and also open the Windows "what do you want to do with this drive" box) then unplug the USB cable, wait 10 secs, then plug it back in.
If you don't hear the Windows "ker-plunk" sound then the drivers are not loading and you need to uninstall and re-install iTunes. The drivers that allow your computer to see the iPad are NOT built into Windows, they come with iTunes. Uninstall iTunes, go to the website and download and install the latest version.
