I can't get my usb 720 to open the internet with windows 8.1 even though it says it's connected.

I just down loaded my software for the vz usb 720 modem on a new windows 8.1 computer and it says it is connected but the internet won't come on. It says firewall settings my have to be changed (921) Has anyone had this problem and is there a software upgrade for windows 8.1 that I need to use, or is it so out of date it will not work with 8.1 at all?

    Morffun,
I appreciate you reaching out. I do apologize, but that device is not compatible with Windows 8.1 software. If you wanted to explore other options for wireless broadband devices, we have plenty available. You can view them here: http://vz.to/YuBwCW.

  • Can I control a network of Macs across the internet with ARD?

    Hi,
    Can I control a network of Macs across the internet with ARD?
    I seem to only be able to control one mac at a time. Am I missing something?
    Thanks
    Matt

    To be able to connect to a workstation from outside it's network, the ports that ARD uses must be open on both ends of the connection. ARD uses ports 3283 and 5900 so those must be open.
    If your workstations get their addresses from an NAT device rather than being "real", the ports also need to be forwarded in the router to the workstation's internal IP address. ARD uses port 3283 for the reporting and updating function, so if your Macs are getting their IP addresses through NAT, since you can only forward a port to a single workstation, you can only get reports, push package/files to etc. for a single workstation.
    ARD uses the VNC protocol for observation and control, though, and there are a range of IP addresses for that protocol, starting with 5900. ARD uses 5900 by default, so that port would be forwarded to the first workstation. You would, I believe, need to install VNC servers on the systems (since the ARD client cannot listen on any port other than 5900 while VNC servers can be set for other ports such as 5901, 5902, etc. You would then forward 5901 to the second workstation (and on to 5902, 5903, etc.). You can then use the following information:
    Remote Desktop: How to specify a port number for a VNC client
    to connect.
    The only other options are: 1) to run the ARD administrator on a workstation on the network, and then take control of that system from outside, either via VNC or another copy of ARD, or 2) set up a virtual private network (VPN) so that when you connect from outside, your admin system is officially part of the local network.
    Hope this helps.

  • How can I get embedded advertising links to open in a new window?

    I am working with Muse and have tried editing the HTML but it didn't work.
    Thanks, Sandy

    If you are inserting links as text and then through Hyperlink adding external link , then you can setup the link to open in a  new window.
    http://helpx.adobe.com/muse/using/creating-hyperlinks.html#id_29862
    In case the link is included in any html frame , you can declare target="_blank" which would open the links with a new window.
    Thanks,

  • Playbook going to Europe- CAN WE LINK A USB WEBSTICK to access the internet?

    Can we hook up a webstick to the Playbook, via a USB dongle, to access the web?  Vodafone has a webstick that you can plug into a pc which gives you access to the web.  I would like to do the same with the Playbook.  Will this work?
    Any idea?  What hardware do I need to buy before I leave the States.
    Thanks for your help. 

    No this is not possible on the PlayBook at this time.
    It used to be possible with early OS versions 1.0 and hacks (called rooting) which would invalidate your warranty. Rim put a stop to this in Feb 2012. The driver to achieve USBOTG (USB On the Go) connectivity is actually still in the operating system but it is not enabled right now and no one can figure out how to get it to work. No one knows if/when this can be accomplished. The hacking community is trying to solve this but it's not going to happen any time soon.
    My suggestion to you is to go to Box.com and get acquainted with cloud services. It's free for personal use and it's great. https://www.box.com/personal/
    You can use the PlayBook's web browser to offload files or to grab files that you've already put in your account. You will need some sort of Wi-Fi connection to do this of course. It will serve as a valuable file storage portal for you until you can return home. Check out YouTube for video tutorials.
    Also, you could use FTP or Bluetooth to share files. Bluetooth doesn't require a Wi-Fi connection obviously, but it's slow to transfer large files. FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is a little more complex and requires a web server running on a host computer. You can get applications through App World that will allow you to transfer files from the PlayBook to the web server and visa versa.
    The PlayBook does have built in Wi-Fi sharing capability and may be useful for you if you have access to a computer but don't have access to a USB cable.
    Re-reading your question, I think a more simple solution is to purchase a mobile router to plug the USB dongle into and then your PlayBook (and cell phone) could access it as a Wi-Fi hotspot. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_broadband_modem This is the modem my family bought to get Wi-Fi out at their rural farm location (works great) http://www.dlink.com.au/products/?pid=824

  • Firefox loads with "parent.lock" in profile folder. Can't get beyond start-up page on the internet. Creating a new profile & deleting old profile in ProfileManager did not solve prblm. When I start Firefox the file is back. scan disc found nothing

    Every time I open Firefox I can't get beyond the first page. No connection to internet. It just says "connecting" and hangs. I create a new profile and delete the old one and I can start firefox and get to the internet, but when I shut the system down, the next time it will not go beyond the first opening page and the "parent.lock" file is present in my profile folder.

  • I upgraded Firefox a few months back and rebooted. Now I can't get back into firefox b/c the "reboot now" window keeps on coming back and won't let start the firefox app. How do i fix this?

    I get the following error:
    Your computer must be restarted to complete a previous upgrade of Firefox. Do you want to reboot now?
    I will reboot but the following message keeps on popping up when I try to start Fireofox. How can I fix this?

    You can undo your permission changes. Probably the most relevant one is cookies. Try one or both of these methods:
    (1) Page Info > Permissions tab
    While viewing a page on the site:
    * right-click and choose View Page Info > Permissions
    * Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Permissions
    (2) about:permissions
    In a new tab, type or paste '''about:permissions''' and press Enter. Allow a few moments for the list on the left to populate, as this information needs to be extracted from a database.
    Then type or paste ''rcn''' in the search box above the list to filter it to the most relevant domains. When you highlight a domain, you can adjust its permissions in the right pane.
    Any luck?

  • Can I set a schedule for use of the internet with this router?

    can I set a schedule the internet?

    The Airport Express is not a router
    The AirPort Express is most certainly a wireless router, capable of 10 wireless connections. See the lit and specifications for more details on this router.
    AirPort Express
    In addition, using the Timed Access feature on the Express, it is possible to establish daily time limits for all devices that will connect to the network.
    This can be done globally for all devices, or individual time limits can be established for each separate device that connects through the AirPort Express.

  • I clicked on something to try to find "source" for embed and now I lost toolbar and can't get it back. It's the toolbar with the bookmark tab and I now cannot find any bookmarks. There is nothing on firefox to help me to put this toolbar back on.

    I clicked on something and it disappeared. I wanted 2 embed a video and someone told me there should be a "source" button on the toolbar that I need to click on. I clicked on something & then the entire toolbar was gone. And now I cannot get it back.

    Firefox 3.6+ versions have a feature to allow the user to hide the Menu bar.
    Hit the '''Alt''' key to temporarily show the Menu bar, then open View > Toolbars and select Menu bar, so it has a check-mark. <br />
    The F10 can also be used on most PC's to temporarily reveal the Menu bar.

  • Where Can I Get a Zen Xtra 60 GB Case/Pouch With Window??!!!!!!!

    I've searched endlessly!
    Creative does not have any in stock so I used the ''notify me when available'' option. And sadly, after writing to Creative's customer support, I was told that they don't even know when the will get more of these in stock.
    Ebay may have a couple available at times, but it is rare. And when there is one listed on Ebay, there are many bidding on it. At other times, on Ebay, there may be a used one available, but the picture which the seller uses is not the actual case being sold. Hard to trust something like that, in my opinion.
    The only site that I have found which offers a case for a Zen Xtra is www.vajacases.com. And although they have a window, clip, etc, and are VERY nice, I don't like the idea of paying around $80 for a case.
    As we all know, iPod has several cases available for ALL of their mp3 players. It is very sad that there are no options for Creative customers. Right now I am storing the player in a generic, uni'versal, case. But this cannot protect my Zen Xtra when I need to use it because the case has to be opened in order to see the display. The odds of me breaking or scratching my Zen Xtra increase each time I have to remove it from it's case. And this is a result of there being no cases available.
    Does anyone know of a case, silicon skin, or pouch that can be used with a Zen Xtra 60 GB? Or perhaps someone may know of an iPod or PDA case which could be used for the Zen Xtra?
    This is frustrating and unbelievable to me. iPod users have an endless supply and variety to choose from while I've only found two options for loyal Creative Zen Xtra customers: . Wait and see if/when Creative has more cases available. 2. Pay nearly half of what my player cost for a vaja case.
    Any help/info would be greatly appreciated! Thank you for your time.

    i agree that it's rather annoying that it should be that hard to find a case....i like to keep all my gear secure and protected....i've been looking too....sorry i can't tell you anything you don't already know....yeah the vaja case looks really nice but way too much money...i figure our best bet is to try to get the creative one on ebay, hopefully...

  • Can i get itunes artwork to load from the internet?

    We used to use Musicmatch software and have recently started using itunes after purchasing ipods. With Musicmatch when we recorded cds into it, the artwork would automatically come up. Now with itunes we notice it doesn't. Are we doing something wrong, or does it just not do that for you? We will be so dissapointed if it doesn't, because that is one my husbands favorite things. Someone please let me know if I need to change settings or what the deal is. Thanks in advance for your help!
    hp media center   Windows XP  

    It doesn't, theres nothing wrong. In short to make the record companys happy and to combat copyright infringment, they don't load the artwork from CDs that cannot be verified even if there store bought.
    THere are many thrid party programs that will do it for you tho by reading the iTUnes library and going on the net for the artwork at amazon.com or somewhere

  • Remote access the airport extreme usb hard drive over the internet with multiple users?

    I just purchase the new airport extreme 802.11n and set it up on my LAN behind a comcast modem with broadband.  I plugged a 3 tb Seagate hard drive formatted with fat32 (default) to it and have set it up for access for all of my computers, ipad, iphone, android in my house.  Everything works as expected, internet access, file access to the USB HD on all devices locally through back to my mac.  I would now like to allow my daughters in another state to access this drive through the Airport Extreme remotely from their location and have there own accounts on this hard drive to store and move their files for on the go access.  I have studied many of the forums and have enabled share disks over WAN, Enable file sharing but no body really gives an exact method of connecting remotely.  I had one of my daughters try on her Macbook Pro laptop through the finder, connect to server, by giving her the IP address.  She could see the name of the Airport Extreme but could not access the hard disk and got a "Not able to connect message".  I am obviously missing something simple that needs to be checked or setup but have drained my brain trying to figure it out.  Most of the forums describe clicking manuel setup on the Airport utility, but with version 6.1 this is now where to be found.  I have a DYN account but could not figure out where to input this in the Airport utility.
    There is a network option which has DHCP lease and range and a box for Enable NAT port Mapping Protocal with Enable default host at:
    I am guessing that this is for some other purpose though.  Please help

    Try installing AirPort Utility 5, then you may be able to follow the guides you mentioned earlier:

  • I have several pdfs on my iPad in iBooks. My iPhone shows only the categories, none of the documents. How can I get my iPhone to also show the documents that are on my iPad?

    I have several pdfs on my iPad in iBooks. My iPhone shows only the categories, none of the documents. How can I get my iPhone to also show the documents that are on my iPad?

    You will need to connect your iPad to your computer's iTunes and do File > Devices > Transfer Purchases to copy them over to your computer (that will copy PDFs and epubs that are in the iBooks app, not just actual ibooks), and you can then sync them to your iPhone. Or you might be able to open each PDF in iBooks on your iPad and use the share icon to email them to yourself and then use 'open in' in the Mail app on your iPhone to copy them to its iBooks app (if the PDF is protected then you may not get the email option via the share icon).
    The Settings > iBooks > Sync Collections setting doesn't copy items between devices, it just means that it a bookor PDF is on both devices and you move it into a collection on one device then it will be moved into the same collection on the other device
