Hi robiroe,
Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the HP Forums I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More. I see that your wireless adator on your computer is not visible in the device manager, and I would be happy to assist you!
To begin, I would suggest uninstalling and reinstalling the wireless adaptor's driver software. To do this, please follow this document on Uninstalling Software (Windows 7). The next step will be to re-install the driver by downloading the Original NVIDIA Networking Controller Driver. If the issue persists, I recommend following this document on Testing for Hardware Failures (Windows 7). This should help determine if there is a hardware issue.
Please re-post with the results of your troubleshooting, and I look forward to your reply!

Can´t see my Networks adapters in the Device manager!

Help!
I´m using Yoga 2 pro/windows 8.1
I can´t see the Networks adapter in the Device manager?!
(and no internet/WIFI connection is not working any more)
I´ve tried to install the latest Wireless Driver from lenovos homepage but it there is still problems. The laptop still can´t find any network adapter and the wifi connection doesn´t work, as it did last week!
Any one who has the same exeperience/or knew how to deal with these kind of issues?
/Rasmus

hi Rasmus,
Can you try these steps:
1. Check if you have a Network Controller entry in the Device Manager and follow this guide to get the hardware ID and on how identify the device.
2. If there's no Network Controller entry in the Device Manager, then it's possible that the Wi-Fi card might have been disabled.
Things to try:
- Boot into the BIOS either by pressing Fn+F2 on boot-up, the OneKey Recovery button, or via the UEFI Firmare Settings.
- In the BIOS, navigate to the Configuration tab and disable the Wireless setting hit Fn+F10 to Save and Exit then shut off the machine.
- Boot back into the BIOS and enable the Wireless setting then hit Fn+F10 to Save and Exit and observe if you can now detect wireless networks.
Let me know how it goes.
Regards

No Bluetooth Adapter in the Device Manager (Windows 7)

I have a problem: theres no Bluetooth adapter in the device manager. On Mac the Bluetooth adapter works flawless.
A while back, my Bluetooth worked on windows. I used it to transfer files from my old phone to my macbook.
I tried to install the driver via the old Hardware wizard:
1. Starting C:/Windows/System32/hdwwiz.exe
2. "Install the hardware that I &manually select from a list (Advanced)"
3. "Show All Devices" - Next
4. Wait a second for windows to load all the drivers
5. Under Manufacturer, select "Apple Inc." and under Model, "Apple Bluetooth Driver"
6. Message showing up:
"The software for this device is now installed, but may not work correctly.
This device cannot start. (Code 10)"
Now the Apple Bluetooth Adapter shows up in the device manager under "System devices" but with the status: "This device cannot start. (Code 10)".
After that, I also tried to restart. Nothing changed.
I also tried to install the Bluetooth Driver from the OSX Windows driver disk. Installed without problems but didn't solve the problem.
Windows 7 64bit - up to date
Bootcamp 3.3
Macbook bought 2009
Model Nr. A1181
with Snow Leopard
Really looking forward for a solution on this problem.

Can't find *some* wireless networks

Hi
Have seen vaguely similar posts but couldn't quite follow. I've used my G4 powerbook to connect to a whole range of wireless networks using Airport and have never had a problem. However I was trying to connect to a wireless network at my local pub and couldn't do it. Airport couldn't find it, when I manually entered all relevant info (including password), it still wouldn't connect. Other laptop users, including others with Apples, don't seem to have a problem and they can't get my laptop to co-operate either. It can still find other wireless networks elsewhere with no trouble. Any suggestions as to what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks
Powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Have the other apple users connected to the "hotspot" in the past? If so, their mac's may "remember" the settings of the network.
The network hotspot, as a security measure, may not broadcast the SSID and you may need to enter it manually, provided the hotspot "posts" it or gives it to your when you make a purchase. (I've seen a number of hot spots either post it near the register of give it to you after making a purchase to prevent users just accessing it without being a consumer of their products)
The hotspot may also encrypt the network, which they will usually provide as well.
I hope this helps!
P.S. There are several "Widgets" available for download that will identify if a network is available, but may not be broadcasting their SSID, this will help confirm that you are getting the signal, but just not the details in order to log in, one can be found here: http://www.apple.com/downloads/dashboard/networking_security/airtrafficcontrol.h tml

My Toshiba Laptop , can't find my wireless router

My toshiba Satellite L500D Laptop , after 9 months after it was bought , can't find my wireless router anymore . I had a look over the internet and have worked out the problem is connected to the wireless finder and it won't fix because the combinatio Fn + F8 is not working ??? I really need help please !!
So far i have tried Following the laptop help and troubleshooting methods (COMPLETE WASTE OF TIME) i have tried what worked for some people to do with the flash cards.....

Let me see if I can help.
The Flash cards usually do not fail once installed. For FN/F8 to work you need to have the right utility. Also you need to have working and properly enabled Wireless devices. If they are not then you will not have this option.
Is your wifi actually working. Does it see any Access Points? Can you go to Device Manager to see if the Wifi is not banged out? Not sure but you can check to see if there is a wifi switch on the computer. Look around the edge. Some machine have this switch to enable the antenna.
When you say Flash cards do not work. Is it the FN/F8 only or all cards. FN (F1-F9). If they do not work reply back and I will try to help you with the flash cards and then work on your wifi problem.
Good Luck,

My HP7280 all in one can't find my wireless router

My HP Photosmart C7280 all in one can't find my wireless router even after I enter my WEP key and ESSID. My other computer is wired into the printer and it works but not wireless. Can anyone help me?

Is the other computer wired with USB? if so that is fine. If it is wired with Ethernet, that is the source of the wireless problem.
What router? Oh, and don't use WEP, it is not in the least secure. I recommend changing your router settings to WPA, create your own password and then try to connect the printer.

My Windows XP AirPort util and Bonjour can't find any wireless device

I have both macbook and a PC laptop.
I just started using my TimeCapsula and all features (Internet gateway, access to the USB printer and the external harddisk) are visible and working fine when using my macbook.
My PC wireless card seems to be working fine too and I can access the Internet using the Airport gateway.
My problem is that Airport Util and Bonjour on my PC "can't find any wireless devices" (even though It is clearly working fine) and therefore don't detect/mount the external drive or the Printer.
Thanks!

How do your Extreme and Express connect to one another? Wired Ethernet between the two, or wirelessly?
Try unplugging the Express. Does that change anything?
Wireless interference could cause the symptoms you're describing. Even though you did nothing to your wireless network, the presence of other wireless networks or introduction of nearby devices will bring interference where there was none before.
AirPort and Bluetooth: Potential sources of interference for wireless devices and networks
Try changing wireless channels; use "automatic" unless you have reason to use a specified channel. Try checking "interference robustness". Altering these settings may help, but they could make things worse.
If you are unable to configure a device over Airport, or changing a setting leaves you unable to configure it wirelessly, connect its Ethernet port to your computer's Ethernet port and Airport Utility should find it.
As a last resort, try a "hard reset" followed by re-configuring the Extreme, Express, or both. Start by removing your Express from the network. Re-configure the Extreme and see if that fixes things. If it does, add the Express to your network and re-configure it as well.
AirPort troubleshooting guide
I open airport utility ... can not locate any of my wireless devises, airport extreme base,, airport express, apple tv, wifi printer.
AirPort Utility will only detect Apple AirPort base stations (Extreme, Express, Time Capsule) for purposes of configuring them. It is not designed to detect or configure other wireless devices like your printer.

I just can't find my ip cam on the network....?

i just can't find my ip cam on the network....? Its plugged directly to time capsule whoyh ethernet cabel. but nothing to find on my mac...?? its a sony sensor 2mp ip cam an i have iMac and time capsule and some iPhone and a hp printer on this network everything is working fine but i justb cant find the cam... please HELP :-)

becourse i can find the ip and mac adress from the cam on my Dell Laptop running on Windows vista
Is this setup as you described.. the camera plugged into the TC? Both Mac and PC plugged or on wireless from the TC?
What exactly is the IP of the camera?
What is the IP of the TC?
When you say you cannot find the CAM on the TC what exactly are you expecting?? Nothing at all will show up from the CAM on the TC when you have it plugged in by ethernet.
How do you open the IP camera to access its controls.. on the PC or does it use a special PC only software??is it just via a browser?
Have you tried opening it via browswer in the Mac?? if the layout is as you described and you can open it from the PC then the Mac will work exactly the same.. but cheap CAMs will not have Mac software. So this will only work from a browser.
butt on the Dell laptop i cant install airport tool? or can i ?
Of course you can install the windows version of the airport utility.. how does this help you.. I think you do not understand that the TC is a dumb hard disk in a router.. it offers nothing for your network.. it will never be able to see the Camera.. it is not smart enough to do anything but save files from a computer.

I'm trying to sync my ipad over wifi, with my MAC, I have the updated software on my MAC, the ipad is up to dat 6.1.2. I can follow all of the steps, but I can't find a SUMMARY button on the toolbar, nor do I receive the option to sync. What am I doing wrong or what should I look for? Thank You

To sync your iPad over Wifi:
First ensure you're running iTunes 11.0.2. And you already have your iPad up to date, good.
Plug your iPad into the Mac via USB. Click your iPad in the top toolbar (under the search bar). Click the Summary tab if it isn't already selected. Check the box to "Sync with this iPad over Wi-Fi" (you may have to scroll down to see it). And now click the Apply button at the bottom right.
You should be able to unplug your iPad from the Mac and it should still remain in iTunes. (If not, try Quitting and relaunching iTunes and waiting, restarting iPad, etc).
To initiate a sync over Wifi, click your iPad in the toolbar in iTunes then click Sync. Or on your iPad, go to Settings > General > iTunes Wifi Sync and tap "Sync Now."
If this didn't solve your problem, please let me know with a more detailed explanation of what you're experiencing so I can try to help you get up and syncing wirelessly!

Can a FD lens be adapted to the 6D?

I have some old Canon FD lenses. I was thinking about buying a 6D. Can a FD lens be adapted to the 6D?
Thanks!

"Technically" yes... but with great effort, you're doing surgery on the lens, there's no benefit, you'll have no auto-focus (and no focusing aids such as those that used to exist in film SLRs with a split-prism focusing aid in the viewfinder), no automatic aperture control, and the results are usually poor.
So the overwhelming advice given to EVERYONE who asks this question (this comes up a lot) is: DON'T DO IT!
For the same reason you don't try to find a floppy disk drive for your current computer... leave those FD lenses in the past.

My iphone was stolen so I decided to delete my device in find my iphone, but the it has not yet been deleted bec the device is not connected to the internet yet. Can I undo my changes before it will be deleted from icloud? Thank you

Hi Suport,
My iphone was stolen yesterday so I decided to delete my device in find my iphone, but the it has not yet been deleted bec the device is not connected to the internet yet. Can I undo my changes before it will be deleted from icloud? I want to undo the changes because I may find my phone when it connects to the internet. Thank you
See image below:
email is [email protected] for questions thank you Apple. I hope you could help me.

Sorry, you can't undo your action remotely.

On my ipad mini, when I delete an email from the inbox (and it goes into Trash), it immediately deletes that email from the server (ATT/Yahoo). I've called support for both ATT and Apple and can't find a way to have the emails remain on the server.

My husband and I share an email address and if he misses a day checking email on his notebook, he doesn't receive the items that I have sent to Trash on my iPad Mini.
Appreciate suggestions.
[The curious thing is, if I "move" the deleted emails from Trash on my iPad Mini into the Inbox, I can go to my notebook, open my online email and they are back in my ATT/Yahoo Inbox.]

Is your Yahoo account set up as POP3 or IMAP?

I just got a new MacBook Pro, and I tried to bring across my files from my last mac using time machine. After it was done copying I can't find my files anywhere but the space (about 130gb) has been used on my hard drive. Help please!!

I just got a new MacBook Pro, and I tried to bring across my files from my last mac using time machine. After it was done copying I can't find my files anywhere but the space (about 130gb) has been used on my hard drive. Does anyone know how I can get to them? I did change my user name from 'user' while it was copying, could this have something to do with it?

You don't want to do that by copying.
Your best bet, by far, is to use Setup Assistant. If your Mac is running Snow Leopard, see Using Setup Assistant on Snow Leopard or Leopard.
If it came with Lion, it's a bit different: Using Setup Assistant on Lion
