HT204291 I can connect to the apple TV but I am not getting display only sound with my IMAC mid 2011 and MAC Air 2012 both with Mountain Lion OS

I just upgraded to Mountain Lion after purchasing Apple TV yesterday from Best Buy.
I have signed in on the same wi-fi network (comcast 30mbps)
I was able to see photos from my wifes Iphone but not my IMac or Mac Air
Both computers connect but I am only getting audio.
I updated software on Apple TV
I shut everything down and reset my router. My Mac Air 13" 2012 was able to see the desk top but not anything that I was doing and then it disconnected.
I also tested the internet speed on the Apple TV but it just told me it was finished. (no results)

WEP as a security measure is laughable nowadays. Even a kindergarten kid with a netbook can crack the password in a few minutes. Try using WPA2 if available on the device. And the Macs will be quite happy connecting with that protocol.

Can connect at the Apple Store, but no longer at my home

Hi,
After I "reset" my network settings on my ipT, I can no longer connect to my home network. I had an appt with the Genius Bar today and the ipT connected fine to the Apple network. They told me to reset my router at home. I came home and did that...turned it off, waited, and turned it back on. My laptop connects, and the ipT sees the home network, but I get no bars.
I'm including aquoted section from part of an Apple Support article, below. My problem meets the first 2 out of 3 criteria. I don't get numbers for IP Address, Subnet, etc, but my ipT DOES show a Wifi address under point 3 below:
"Symptoms
iPhone or iPod touch appear to be connected to a Wi-Fi network but cannot use Wi-Fi for checking email, surfing the Internet, or other data transactions.
AND
On the device, when you tap Settings > Wi-Fi and then tap next to the network, no values or entries for IP Address, Subnet Mask, Router, or DNS appear.
AND
The device shows no Wi-Fi address (Tap Settings > General > About and scroll down to Wi-Fi Address).
This can happen if, during the initial setup of the iPhone or iPod touch, no Wi-Fi address was registered. So while the device can attach to different Wi-Fi networks, it will not be able to retrieve an IP address because the Wi-Fi router doesn't see a Wi-Fi address from the device."
Thanks for any help. I don't know what else to try. I'd sure love to have my surfing back!

I'm answering my own post, in case it helps other people with the same problem. I'm almost embarrassed to admit what the solution is, but if it helps, hey!
After resetting, my ipT asked for the password for my home network. In error, I typed in my EMAIL password, not my ROUTER's password. Duh. Once I got the right password entered, everything's fine.
So, hope this helps someone else.

I purchased whatsup from the apple store but i did not get the 3 digit activation no?

i purchased whatsup applicaion from the itune apple store but why is it that i did not get the 3 digit activation no?

Use the app developer's email here > http://www.whatsapp.com/contact/
Tap Settings / Notifications. Make sure that is turned on.
Then swipe through the apps just below that. If you see the whatsup app, make sure sounds and alerts are turned on also.

Every device (iphone4, iphone4s, ipad2) I try to hook up to iTunes gives me a message "this device cannot connect because the apple mobile device service is not setup" does anyone have ideas as to why it keeps popping up? It just started doing this.

Try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.

I'm afraid that you may be confusing two different 'passwords' - there's your Apple ID (the user name and password that you used to get into these forums) and then there's your computer user name and password - usually two seperate user names and passwords.
If you want to change your password for your user account on your computer, go to System Preferences>Users & Groups and unlock the preference pane. Then you can select your user name and change your password there. Changing a user name is a bit complex and I don't think you want to try that!

Change your router channel. Sometimes this is all you will have to do.
Power cycling the router. Read the router's user manual or contact their tech support for instructions.

Highlight Airport
Click the Assist Me button
In the popup window click the Diagnostic button.
System Preferences/Network- Unlock padlock. Highlight Airport. Network Name-select your name. Click on the Advanced button. Airport/Preferred Networks-delete all that is not your network.
Place a check mark next to "Remember networks this computer has joined." Click the OK button and lock the padlock. Restart your computer.

The html select box option is not getting displayed properly in IE11

The html select box option is not getting displayed properly in IE11
I have developed a website that has a select box drop down. The select box drop down is getting displayed properly in IE9. But in IE11, if I am selecting any option apart from the first one, the whole select box option is getting moved up in the page.
In IE11, if option 2 is selected, then the select options is getting moved up. But in IE9, if option 2 is selected, then the select options is getting displayed properly.
Please let me know the fix so that the select options are displayed in the same manner as in IE9.
Sorry but I am unable to upload images as this site is throwing some error

Hi Kevin Shen,
Thanks for post.
I tried above code in ie 11(version 11.0.9600.17633).
But it is not working. If you select option 2, and open select box then it open on the select box.
It should open below the select box.
Code for above:-
<select>
<option>1</option>
<option>2</option>
<option>3</option>
</select>
Sorry I could not attach screen shot. We have normal select box with three options. If we select option 2, it is showing option list on the select box. It is coming below the select box in ie 10 and other browse like chrome.
So what we should do, so that all options will come below the select box?
Thanks,
Yogesh Toke

The password I use for installing downloaded applications or installing basically anything isn't working but I didn't change it or let alone touched it. How do I fix this? I'm on an iMac 21.5 inch, Mid 2011 and Mac OS X Version 10.7.3

I've no idea why it has stopped working, but you could reset it:

Many thanks.
With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:

I can connect to the iTunes store but I can't sign in

I recently got a macbook pro and before I got it I had a Toshiba. On that one I had an iTunes account that I used and worked fine.
I can connect to the iTunes store. I can search for stuff but I can't sign in so I can't download anything.
I've never had this problem before. I know that my apple id is ok because I changed the password because I thought I might have had it wrong.
Does anyone know how to fix it? I have the newest version of iTunes.

I'm having the same problem. Are you getting unknown error -9813?
