I am having difficulties connecting to my TalkTalk router all of a sudden. The router is downstairs, but I can pick up BT wi-fi from the next door neighbour.

Without moving my router or iMac, I can not now connect to my router which is downstairs and almost directly below my iMac. But I can connect to a BT FON network which is presumably coming from our neighbour - further away. Have I suddenly developed a "dead spot", or something else? And will that dead-spot be eliminated by setting up an Airport base station???

Yes, on-line chat is nothing but a nuisance. I've just scanned their current system and it has changed markedly. You could try another route. Call BT and through their technical department you could 'complain' that your neighbours system is impinging on yours. Talk Talk uses BT anyway.

Connected to iTunes and lost all music and random new songs were added but I can't delete them

I connected my iPod into Itunes (Windows not Mac) and for some reason all my music were deleted. I synched my music again and the default songs that are aready on iTunes were added in my iPod. I can't even delete the default songs now.. Help...

If copying the files took a suspiciously shoort time, are you sure that they were copied?
If you do not have "Copy to iTunes Music folder when adding to library" checked in Edit>>Preferences>>Advanced>>General, then files are left where they are and their loaction is stored in the library.
If this is what happened, your music would play when the external drive is plugged in, but not when it isn't.
If you find this is what happened, you can simply consolidate your library when the external drive is plugged in. (Advanced menu).
This copies files that are not in the iTunes Music folder into it.

- Did it successfully connect to the network before?
- Do other devices successfully connect to the network now?
- Does you iPod successfully connect to other networks?
- Have you reset your iPod?
Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset network connections: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- Powered off and then back on your router
- The troubleshooting here:
iPhone and iPod touch: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
-When you restored you iPod did you restore to factory defaults/new iPod? If not try that.
- If you look at the network properties on the iPod what IP address is assigned when you think you are connected but actually have no internet connection. If it starts with 169 then the iPod never connected to the router, the 169 address are self assigned.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

So my iPhone 4S started draining battery after recent update, battery got changed and it worked perfect for 3 days, all of a sudden the phone won't stay on unless connected to mains... Cannot receive any signal "searching" constantly. HELP

So my iPhone 4S started draining battery after recent update, battery got changed and it worked perfect for 3 days, all of a sudden the phone shut down and now won't stay on unless connected to mains... Claims its at 100% battery but thats impossible as it was at 30% before it shut down randomly.
Cannot receive any signal "searching" constantly.
Turns off as soon as removed from usb ... wont stay on connected to laptop!
HELP!

The iPhone includes a one year warranty. If an Apple store is not nearby, you can call AppleCare and handle an exchange under warranty over the phone. The exchange will be shipped to your door - someone must sign for the delivery so if no one will be at home, have it delivered where you work. You use the same box to return the existing iPhone back to Apple. Return shipping label and tape to reveal the box incuded - call the carrier with number incuded when the box is ready to be picked up. AppleCare will request a credit card in the event the existing iPhone is not returned within 10 days after the exchange under warranty is received.
Hardware can fail - it happens, which is why there is a one year warranty.

All of a sudden my iphone stopped charging and you can't hear the music through my ihome iH150 when I connect it to the dock, what can I do to fix the ihome? The ihome does turn on and I already checked for dock possible problems and I don't see anything.

I also have to add that the right earbud only doesn't work on my phone while i'm listening to music. If I'm face timing it's okay. what the heck.

A number of people have reported similar issues recently, many appear to have found a discrepancy of some kind in their account settings and making changes to these settings or simply resetting them has resolved the matter.
Check your account details are correct, check that you are using the correct details for Location, Region and Time Zone. You may want to change these settings and then change them back to see if that helps.
Also check your payment details, make sure your details are exactly how they appear on your credit card statement, you might also try changing some of those details, saving them and changing them back again.
You might also try logging out of and then back into your iTunes account (Settings > iTunes Store > Apple ID’s > Sign Out) and restarting your router. (Some have reported that after doing this, they need to check for rentals even though it may report that there aren’t any, after which rentals once again appear in the ‘movies’ feature)
Rentals should appear under their own heading in the ‘Movies’ feature, you might also check at Settings > iTunes Store > Check For Rentals.
At this point in time, I’m wondering if this could be related to (but not restricted to) the new feature that allows others to come into your home and use your Apple TV to download and play their content on your Apple TV without logging into their account on your Apple TV. The Terms of Use for iTunes Store content have always been to require you to only purchase and play the content from the store in the location where you live and to use a credit card registered in that location. Previously Apple seem to have been somewhat lenient on enforcing such restrictions, perhaps now they are not. However I don’t really have any evidence to support this suggestion, except that changes made to accounts in these areas do appear to be helping many.
If you are successful in resolving your problem, perhaps you would let us know exactly which action resolved the problem for you. If you are having this problem to begin with, can you also tell us your location.

Hi,
Sorry I can't help you. I just wanted to let you know I have the same exact problem. It started three days ago and I've been going back and forth with creative support and nothing has worked. I am beginning to grow really distressed. I feel a little better now because after seeing that it's happening with someone else, it is most likely not the player. I am running windows 98 SE as well. I also have an AMD Duron processor. I have a new computer on the way with windows XP I really hope it works. But now I have a new problem. I listed it on the front page of this forum a few minutes ago. My player froze and now only boots up in rescue mode. I am getting so frustrated with my player. If you figure anything out will you be as kind as to send me a message on how you got your player working again? I would really appreciate it. Thanks.
Nick

I having difficulties connecting to a printer on a workgroup in my office

A friend configured the workgroup on my office pc and named it Sever. he connected all the computers to the server without connecting the printers so i decided to add a printer to the network so that laptops connected wirelessly could access the printer.
i configured it by going through a tutorial i found on microsoft site about how to "add a printer to a home network".
it worked fine until it stopped working two days later. all office document could identify the printer on the server but cannot print. other computers and laptops can print but my laptop connected wirelessly cannot print.
i decided to add the printer again by following the same procedure of going to "devices and printers" and clicking on "add a printer" and typing the address of the printer to install drivers and start printing as i did initially,
however, this time around i was asked to enter username and password.
i don't know if this username and password request is from the sever ( desktop pc running windows 7). all attempts to enter the username and password prove futile.
i really need help as i cannot afford a new printer right now.
i want an in-dept knowledge on joining and creating a homegroup/workgroup/domain and why i cannot open and access files and folders on other computers connected to the network and also why i am always prompted to enter a username and password before
i can access files on other computers connected to the network
can i still connect the Pcs to share one printer without login in username and password as the previous one worked without that?
THANKS FOR YOUR HELP

Hello Mattern Adjei,
Are all these computer Windows 7?
If my understanding is right, now some computers in the office can use the printer and some can’t.
Do all computers need to type username and password when you access network folder?
Please check have you made any changes before this issue.
Please take a look at the following article about printer troubleshooting.
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/printer-problems-in-windows-help#fix-printer-problems=windows-7&v1h=win8tab2&v2h=win7tab1&v3h=winvistatab1&v4h=winxptab1
1. Check network connection, try to ping the IP address of the printer
2. Run printer troubleshooter
3. Update the printer driver
How do you access the folder or file? Are they share folder?
About how to create share folder, we could take a look at the following article.

Anyone else having difficulties connecting to AIM using Messages?

For the past day or so, Messages refuses to connect to my AIM account. I have iChat accounts using my old .Mac and MobileMe IDs that work relatively well (in spite of frequent disconnects). Many of my professional contacts are on my legacy AIM Buddy List, and now I can't access them.
I checked Console, and this is what I see:
2012-08-28 12:13:00.589 PM imagent[207]: [Warning] [AIM] Could not change my statusURL to
2012-08-28 12:13:00.592 PM imagent[207]: [Warning] [AIM] Could not change my statusURL to
2012-08-28 12:48:54.969 PM imagent[207]: [Warning] [AIM] Could not change my statusURL to
I also tried logging into www.aim.com, but the site logs me out as soon as I log in.
Has this happened to anyone else?
With respect to the disconnects I mentioned above, Messages on both my 2011 15" MacBook Pro and my mid-2008 24" iMac seem to disconnect from most online services (e.g. GoogleTalk, AIM, Jabber) whenever I walk away from my computer for a few minutes. The accounts that use the AOL servers (AIM, .Mac and Mobileme) disconnect frequently, even when I'm sitting in front of the computer. It would appear that my account gets banned for too many disconnects after a while, to the point that I can't reconnect unless I wait a long time. I've read other complaints about this in the Support Communities.
It's as if my network connection is unstable and causes timeouts and disconnects in the background. I've followed some tips I found on the web, including deleting the affected accounts and changing the MTU value in my Network settings.
Has anyone had any communication with Apple that indicates they recognize networking/connection issues affecting Messages, or that they may be working on a fix?
R.

Definitely.
I put a query on this site and can no longer find it.
If I goes to Buddies list, everything is greyed out.
If I try new message, I can send one to their AIM account and click on the green camera next to their name but they do not get the invitation.
They can contact me. (They have not upgraded and still have iChat.)
If we do a threeway iChat, I can to hold my mouse down to widen the window in order to see the second person.

My iphone4 when connected to any computer will not charge and is constantly connected and disconnected. does the same with itunes. Also i'm talking on the phone and all of a sudden the other person can not hear me.

My iphone4 when connected to any computer will not charge and is constantly connecting and disconnecting. It does the same with itunes so it doesnt really sync. Also when talking to someone, all of a sudden they cant hear me.

I'm having the same issue. I went to my local apple store and they could not work me into the genius bar so i made an appointment for tomorrow morning. The clerk did check the phone for the pink indicators at the top and bottom of the phone (where you plug in your USB or headphones) He said if you can see a pink indicator dot you may have gotten it wet, or had some sort of condensation in it, which could cause the plugs to not work.
In regards to people not being able to hear you, i'm waiting for my appointment tomorrow for more news! I would recommend taking it into your local apple store for more answers.

Connect to server using SMB. all of a sudden stopped working!! HELP!

I have a MBP which I used to connect to a Windows XP computer wireless using the smb server address feature in the Finder.
The thing is...it has been working for a couple of months with no problem. I sometimes take my Mac on the road and bring it back... when I'm ready to reconnect it, just go to the "recent items" under the Apple icon and reconnect.
But now, I get a long delay and I keep getting the message:
"Connection Failed"
The server "XXX.XXX.X.XXX" may not exist or it is unavailable at this time. Check the server name or IP address, check your network connection, and then try again.
I've tried everything...the IP address is correct and the internet connection is working on both computers, so what's the problem?? HELP!!

I'm trying to work through the same problem. For 8 months everything worked fine with the network, and then last week "can't connect to servers". So far I've been able to connect to my servers only after a restart. Not even sure how long the fix lasts.
I've got 3 PCs and my MBP on the network. No problems w/the PCs at all. In fact the other servers can connect to each other as well as my MBP. Unfortunately my network printer is on one of the PCs, so rebooting every time I need to print is wearing thin.
This is my first Mac after owning a dozen or so PCs. I'm used to the ctrl-alt-del dance but was hoping for better from Apple. Everything else is great w/the Mac. Don't know why I waited so long to switch.

Having Trouble Connecting to new wireless router...

My family just purchased a wireless router. It is a D-Link. Previous to this, I had always used an ethernet cord to get online as I am right now. The router is all set up and I was using the wireless end of it for awhile with no problem until my dad secured it and added a password. I wrote down this password and have been trying to reaccess the wireless internet and it just keeps telling me that the password is incorrect when I know its not because I'm sitting here looking at it on our dells computer screen.
I didn't know if there was something that I needed to do to my macbook that i havent since I have always used an ethernet cable...but I don't know what that would be since I have been to other individuals houses and linked up to their wireless glitch free. The router came with a cd. I opened this cd on my macbook, and the contents of it weren't even compatable with my mac, other than the manual which was not helpful either.
This router is SUSPOSE to be for Mac users, and it worked before the password was set so I am just at a loss.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Jacquie,
First: are you sure you've selected the right security protocol when OS X asks you for the network password? There's a dropdown menu with options such as "WEP, WPA," etc. You'll need to select the right one for your network. If you pick the wrong one and enter the password correctly, you will still get a "bad password" error.
Second: Are you sure your router is not MAC-locked? This has nothing to do with Macintosh computers. a MAC address is something every wireless card in every PC has. It's a unique address that is assigned to your computer. If your router is MAC-locked, that means it's set to ONLY allow certain addresses to connect. You'll need to disable the MAC-lock or enter your MAC-address into the "approved" list in the router's settings page.
Third: The problem is NOT your Mac. As you said, it's worked just fine on other wireless networks. The problem lies absolutely, completely, without question in the router settings. Try the two things above and see if that solves it. If not, come back and we'll keep going.

I am having difficulties connecting to my TalkTalk router all of a sudden. The router is downstairs, but I can pick up BT wi-fi from the next door neighbour.
