I can't use my USB ports or connect to the Internet after downgradin​g from Windows 8 to 7

I downgraded my HP Pavilion p7-1534 desktop computer from Windows 8 to Windows 7 today with a Windows 7 Home Premium disk I purchased. I checked online first to see everything I'd need to do, including backing up all my personal files and information to an external hard drive and downloading all my drivers to a USB drive.  I followed online instructions and went into the  UEFI bios settings and disabled Fast Boot and Secure Boot and enabled Legacy mode.  Windows 7 finally loaded and it comes up.   However, my PC now no longer recognizes that I have several USB drives so I can't load my drivers. Also, I can't connect to my MediaCom cable Internet.  Does anyone know what I did wrong and what I can do to fix my PC?

Hi,
Please install chipset driver including USB:

  • Can I use Apple Remote desktop to connect over the internet?

    I would like to use Apple Remote Desktop to connect back to my MacPro desktop at home while I am on my Macbook Air at work.  Will I need a static IP from my service provider to do it.

    Hi
    It's not absolutely necessary but it would be more useful if you did have one. Most ISPs will require you to have a business class broadband service at your home rather than a residential one. These cost more (a lot more in some cases) than a residential service. Call your home location's ISP and discuss it with them.
    If the cost is too much then you could go for a DynDNS account which is free. The details of this account would be configured in the whatever you're using as a firewall at your home's location. This assumes the firewall has the facility to add such an account. Thereafter it's just a question of configuring the port fowarding feature of that firewall.
    A potentially 'big' problem though is whether or not your workplace will allow that kind of traffic out of their network. This would be something you'd need to discuss with them first.

  • After update to OS X 10.7.5 on my Mac Pro (2009) USB ports don't work at all after wake up from sleep mode; with 10.7.4 there was (nearly) any problem.

    hello,
    after update to OS X 10.7.5 on my Mac Pro (2009) USB ports don't work at all after wake up from sleep mode; with 10.7.4 there was (nearly) any problem.
    the used ports appear to be "killed"; the unused USB ports seem to work, but the Mac works in slow-motion.
    The only "solution" is to restart my Mac.
    - SMC-reset, PRAM-reset or repairing user rights had no positive effect; what is the solution - a bug-fix-update???

    I have a mac mini (A1283) with OS 10.7.4. Upon upgrading to 10.7.5 it did not start up again. Instead, the light was on and the hard drive did not start up. The light on the connected USB mouse was not lit.
    My solution:
    Cold start with Command-v pressed.
    This should start Verbose mode (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1492 ).
    What happened on my mac mini was that the grey startup screen with the Apple logo appeared for a long while before the login screen came.
    Maybe Cmd-v set open firmware params and fixed some corruption.
    Anyway: my mac mini works again.

    If you are unable to get the iPod into Disk Mode to try and restore it, it's a very good indication, as mentioned in the article, that the iPod's hard drive is damaged and in need of replacement either by Apple or a third party repair company.

    Can Shuffle be used on a computer not connected to the Internet. I have access to an Internet connected computer to register but I would like to manipulate and recharge on a machine that is not connected. Thanks for any help you can provide.

    As long as you aren't trying to update/restore it the Shuffle will work on a computer with no Internet access.

  • If I dont have wifi at home, can i use my iphone 4s to connect to the router?

    If I dont have wifi at home, can i use my iphone 4s to connect to the router and how?

    A lot of routers have the network name (ssid) and security key (password) for their wi-fi function  printed on a sticker on the bottom or back
    It sounds like your uncle is talking about a router with a wps ( wi-fi protected setup) function where you can press a button on the pc and router and then the router sends the network info to the pc, well unfortunately this does not work with the iPhone, you will need the password.
    Alternatively you can get the password by entering the routers internet based managment page by typing in its ip address into the address bar of your web browser ( usually this is somthing like 192.168.1.1 if this dosent work try googling the manufacturers name, model number and a query  e.g. linksys 54geu router managment ip address? ) if after typing in the router management ip address you get a page asking for a user name and password try entering Admin for the username and password for the password ( these are somtimes used as defaults untill you log in and change them) if these dont work they have probably been changed. Once in the router management page go to the wireless section and you will find the  network security key (password) in the security tab usually these are obscured as astrixes but ticking the show characters box will let you see them.

    I have CS 6 installed on a Win 7 OS machine. I can not connect to the internet to get updates from within the program. How do I fix this?

    IP routing doesn't work the way many folks might initially think it does; functional IP routing requires manual configuration and the establishment of static routes and default routes specific to the local network configurations, and it's very easy to get it wrong, or to get the default route swapped. Multiple NIC boxes don't magically work, either. (Been there, done that, wondered what happened to my network when the paths got reordered or my route settings were messed up, etc.)
    Routing configuration errors can be quite subtle, too. (Again, voice of experience. Ever had a thousand-seat office LAN accidentally routing through your desktop? As the, um, unnamed guilty party discovered, getting into that configuration was subtle. Seeing the performance crater on the fellow's box and on the LAN was obvious.)
    Knowing how IP routing works is a prerequisite to getting this configuration to work; there's manual configuration required. Clearly something has gone weird here.
    What to do? Read up on IP routing. I'll again suggest the threads and the manual mentioned earlier.
    And in general, I prefer to avoid using my comparatively expensive Mac boxes as sub-optimal IP routers or as firewall boxes. General-purpose operating systems and generic x86 boxes are going to be inherently poor IP routers. Dedicated routers (or embedded or surplus x86 boxes with routing software loaded) offload the Mac boxes here, and are also typically easier to configure manage. And "real" IP routers can have hardware specific to efficiently routing packets. Use of an outboard firewall or firewall-router box also greatly simplifies gateway routing, too; it's a configuration that many folks and many businesses tend to use.

    Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
    Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
    You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

    Hi, I have recently brought some tv programmes from itunes on my ipod touch. I can only watch them when i'm connected to the internet though. Any way i can move them to my music folder too? Thanks

    That means it is not fully downloaded so you are streaming it. Fully download it.

  • WRT54G ver. 6 can no longer connect to the internet after reset

    I reset my WRT54G ver. 6 to clear the password, and now I can no longer connect to the internet with it. I can see the router itself from my PC, but that is all. I've followed the directions here for connection problems, but I can't seem to get an IP Address for it in the Web Configuration tool. Anybody have any thoughts?

    Since you reset your router, you need to reconfigure it back again. try the online utility that automates the configuration. download Easy Link Connect utility at www.linksys.com/connect then download "Netset" and follow instructions.
    if not Easy Link connect didnt work then you need to do the configuration manually.
    1. check physical connection modem should be connected wired to internet port of the router then PC to numbered ports of the router.
    2. Brighthouse i believe is cable connection, right? try power cycle your devices (turn off modem and router then turn on modem 1st then router next). check if your online.
    3. if not. check PC ip. click "start" then "run" type in "cmd" then press "OK". the command prompt should pop-up. type "ipconfig" and check IP and gateway. you should be getting an ip: 192.168.1.x and gateway: 192.168.1.1
    4. access router. open IE, then type in http://192.168.1.1 on address bar.
    5. you will be prompted with username and PW. "admin" is the default password. on setup, just below are subtabs. select "MAC address clone". in it, set "mac clone" to "enable" then click on "clone" then "save settings".
    6. power cycle devices again. try to go online
    note: if you dont have latest firmware. try updating if needed

  • No longer can connect to the internet after updating to 10.4.10 for Intel

    I (fortunately) use a cloning program (SuperDuper) to clone my MacBook Pro hard drive now and then on to an external Firewire hard drive... I say "fortunately" because after reading some of the problems folks were having with this most recent OS X update (10.4.10) I chose to update the cloned hard drive first before installing the update on the main drive... On or about 6/20 an update came out (that I can't find anymore so maybe they pulled it??) that was called "MacOSXUpd10.4.10IntelPatch.pkg". First I installed that update on my cloned drive... It booted and worked fine except that when I would try to communicate with the internet wirelessly, I could not... I didn't try a "wired" connection because I am not interested in connecting that way. The system would claim to connect to my wireless router (NetGear WGU624) but pages would time out before loading... Next I tried installing the newer (7/02) Combo package called "MacOSXUpdCombo10.4.10Intel.pkg" but that improved nothing. Still no useable wireless internet connection... So in no way will I be putting this 10.4.10 update (Patch or Combo) on my main drive until something gets fixed... In fact, I went ahead and overwrote what I had on the firewire drive by recloning my main drive (running under 10.4.9) to that firewire drive again... Once I got 10.4.9 reinstalled on that firewire drive, it again connected to the internet just fine... So my experience is that there is something not happy about either the Patch or the Combo updates for 10.4.10, at least as it relates to my Intel system... I also have a G4 PPC and on that machine, the PPC version of the 10.4.10 update worked just fine (though that is a wired connection, if that matters)... Anything I am missing or can someone offer other input other than not to upgrade at this time??? Thanks... Bob...

    Hello Robert:
    I infer from your post that you selected the updates to install, rather than using software update (IMHO a bad idea). At the moment, as I understand your post, your backup is not working properly and your internal HD has not been changed.
    I suggest this:
    Clone your HD to your external firewire drive (new copy, not an update of changed data.
    Then you have a clone in case someting goes wrong.
    Update your HD using software update. If everything is running well after that, you are OK. If not, you can restore your HD from the clone.
    The reason I favor using software update is that the system selects the proper software. When Apple releases updates, there are several versions available.
    If you know all this, forgive the explanation - I do not know your level of computer expertise.
    As an aside, there is nothing (that I am aware of) organically wrong with the OS X 10.4.10 update. Apple did release a 10.4.10 v1. update for the Intel boxes (I do not run Intel-based Macs, so I have not investigated it):

  • I don't use a proxy server to connect to the internet, but Firefox automatically configures itself to use the loopback address.

    I have a direct connection to the internet and don't use a proxy server. Every few weeks, Firefox automatically resets itself to be configured to use a proxy server at the loopback address (127.0.0.1). Manually changing it back to "No proxy" works, but I have to do so each time I open the browser or even a new tab. The only fix I can find is to create a new profile which gives me a new, clean install of FF, but then I lose all my add-ons. This has happened repeatedly now and it's extremely frustrating. I have scanned for malware but have not found any problems.

    hello rjlasser, first of all please make sure that none of your extensions is causing the issue (some youtube censorship circumvention addons also make use of proxies for example).
    otherwise please refer to [[How to fix preferences that won't save]] for some common solutions.
