I get 5 bars but still need a MicroCell (which stopped working), any ideas?

OK, I get 5 bars without the Micro Cell BUT only about 20% of my incoming calls get through (the rest go straight to VM). Outgoing calls seem to be OK, but text messages will take about 10 minutes to come in. Obviously this is unacceptable so we decided to purchase a MicroCell a couple weeks ago and it started off working great. As soon as we were in our office all our iPhones would show "AT&T M-Cell" and incoming/outgoing/text all worked as you would hope.
All of a sudden (around the time of the iPhone 4.0.1 update) the phones in my office would not connect to the MicroCell. All the appropriate microcell lights are on (3G, GPS, Power and Ethernet). I turned the unit off/on, went to ATT.com/3gmicrocell and tried disconnecting the device and then re-registered it all to no avail.
The only way I can get the phones to utilize the MicroCell is by turning the phone off for a minute then turning it back on (or putting them into airplane mode for a minute and then taking them out again). I have to do this while 2 feet away from the Micro Cell otherwise it just jumps on the tower (which says 5 bars but doesnt work). If I leave the immediate area of the microcell and come back the phone will not connect again.
Please help!!!
Thanks,
tim

ATT must have been seeing all these posts. The unit all of a sudden started working for everyone!!! Guessing they pushed a sw update overnight.

    Assuming you have these accounts set up in Mail, open preferences and under Accounts tab, edit the SMTP outgoing server list. Do you have a .mac address in the list? If so, delete it.
    Are you using iCloud?
    For the troubled account, select the correct SMTP server for that account in the box and check the box to use only that server with that account.

    To eject the Disc, hold the Mouse button down, (or what passes for it on a Laptop), while powering up, if you also hold the Option key down at the same time it should eject & give you a chance to insert your install disc & wait for it to shw as a Boot option.

  • I had to remove Mavericks and do a reinstall on 10.8.5 but still need help...

    I have been trying to undo my Mavericks upgrade in October and after considerable effort I am mostly got back to 10.8.5 OS but still need a bit of help. I just want the previous OS back in place then I'll try Mavericks soon....
    1)               I never seem to pay attention so is 10.8.5 the last OSX prior?  As long as it isn't Mavericks, I want to get it installed.
    2)               I had to reformat my iMac so I have a residual elements from 10.9 and one issue that I had before was permissions. Every number of files either on other hard drives or sometimes in my same user folder was asking for permission and authentication to simply move a file.. A popular one you'll see at the bottom the person/whatever/ problem known as fetching.  Could someone just give me the general reason of this fetching and permissions problem that I ran into?  Better yet since I just want to avoid it altogether into the future tell me what's the best way to assure it disappears forever.
    3)          Another, which is kind of a big ticket item for me is the backup/restore/cover your (!!!) system. I was a good little iMac User and had Time Machine backed up for a period prior to the Mavericks install. I'm a little bit upset that TM isn't 100%....but what is...?  I need another backup/restore system in place and that's what I am looking for recommendations on.  An item that saved me a bit was that I had OS 10.8.3 on an external hard drive.  The problem with that one was it was on a partition, on one of the drives requiring to be reformatted.  It worked as a bridge consolidating files and all but was a big headache as a partition on the external. Recovery Disk did it's part but wasn't enough as well.   Is there a simple/easy idea...clone, disk images, boot from an external drive… ?
    4)          iPhoto (9.4.3) currently will not open the libraries which iPhoto (9.5) converted. Is there way to go back?  Seems the App Store and Software update don't like something. I'm getting into a loop with App Store, iPhoto and the OS. Either the software needs operating system ... then the App Store says it's incompatible or some other complaint.  Right now I have 9.4.3 iPhoto installed for OSX 10.8.5 and was only able to create a new library and the converted ones currently do not open.
    Thanks to your help

    10.8.5 is the lates ML edition.  I use TM and also carbon copy cloner as my second backup.  If I were you and you have a TM backup prior to Mavericks I would try another restore at bootup.  You should erase your drive first in that process using disk utitlites and then use TM to put back you apps and files.  The other choice is to do an internet recovery and then use TM to restore your apps and files.  That should fix the permissions issue.  I did the same thing and all was OK including getting my original iPhoto progam (9.4.3), iphoto11 and photos back.

  • Hi all, I'm trying to download a film from iTunes onto my iPad but downloaded the HD version instead of SD and don't have the room to download it. Have removed everything I can to make space but still need another 1.2 GB. How can I delete it??

    Hi all, I'm trying to download a film from iTunes onto my iPad but downloaded the HD version instead of SD and don't have the room to download it. Have removed everything I can to make space but still need another 1.2 GB. Is there any way I can delete it so I can delete the version I wanted, or even better change to the SD version? The film is still queuing in the downloads list. I've tried edit and delete but that doesn't work. I also can't re-download the film from iTunes.
    Any suggestions very welcome!

  • New to Numbers, tried the guides...but still need help

    Hi Folks,
    I have a fairly simple project; but I am new to Numbers and haven't found my answer after rooting through the guides and forums. So here goes...
    I have a few categories (red, green, blue, black, and yellow). Of these categories, there are different styles to choose from (pants, shorts, t-shirts, sweaters, jackets, and hats). What I'd like to be able to do is have a simple table, with dropdown menus (I believe these are called pop-up menus in Numbers). The first pop-up menu would be for the item color. When the color is chosen, I want the second pop-up menu to list the styles available to that color. When the user then chooses a style from the pop-up menu, I want the cell to the right to display the price. It would look something like this:
    Cell A1 (pop-up menu); Cell B1 (pop-up menu); Cell C1 = corresponding value for parameters chosen in A1 and B1.
    It's a simple pricing/order sheet that will have the same functionality for every row; that way users can have multiple rows if they need to buy multiple items, but the sheet is minimalistic in appearance.
    Any idea how I can do this in Numbers? I hope I explained myself clearly enough...
    Thanks!
    -Michael-

    knowledg333 wrote:
    In that case, the pop-up menus can be fixed (it just means the list might be longer than necessary - as some colors are not available for certain styles). Alternatively, the categories can be fixed in individual cells, and the style can be the only popup menu that needs to be chosen. For example:
    A1=Red; B1= (popup menu with all styles listed); C1= price for Red with the parameter in B1
    A2=Black; B2= (popup menu with all styles listed); C2= price for Black with the parameter in B1
    A3=Yellow; B3= (popup menu with all styles listed); C3= price for Yellow with the parameter in B1
    etc...
    Does that format eliminate the serious problem??
    Yes it does and in this case, you may use a popup specific to the color.
    To get the price of a given item, use VLOOKUP which will require a table storing the name and the price of the items.
    In the look_up table you may see the name of the items and the prices of existing ones.
    In cell B2 of Tableau 1, the popup menu offers the items : item1, item2, item3
    In cell B3 of Tableau 1, the popup menu offers the items : item1, item2, item4
    In cell B4 of Tableau 1, the popup menu offers the items : item1, item2, item3, item4
    In cell C2 of Tableau 1, the formula is : =VLOOKUP(B2,look_up :: A:D,2)
    In cell C3 of Tableau 1, the formula is : =VLOOKUP(B3,look_up :: A:D,3)
    In cell C4 of Tableau 1, the formula is : =VLOOKUP(B4,look_up :: A:D,4)

    What computer operating system?
    Uninstall, free ccleaner run through, and reinstall with antivirus and firewall(s) disabled is not a bad idea. But, let us look at some other
    factors before that.
    1. When you try to open the program, how far do you get....Welcome Screen - clicking on Organizer or Video Editor or other?
    Have you tried to open the program directly from the Adobe Premiere Elements.exe file after you have applied Run As Administrator to that file?
    2. Does the problem exist with and without the antivirus and firewall(s) disabled? Are you working in a school or company network?
    3. Are you working with a pen and tablet device instead of mouse?
    4. Is your video card/graphics card driver version up to date according to the website of the manufacturer of the card?
    4. Do you have the latest version of QuickTime installed and are you running the programs as administrator?
    Let us start here and then decide what next based on the details in your reply.
    Besides uninstall/ccleaner/reinstall, we may next try deleting the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file or the whole 13 Folder in which it
    exists or installing the program in a newly created user account with administrative privileges and trying to run the program from there.
    But, let us rule in or out the first 4.
    Any questions or need clarification on any of the above, please do not hesitate to ask.
    Thank you.

    I am having the exact same problem with Windows 7 Professional. Out of the blue, this issue just started a few months ago when running my monthly Windows Backup where I have used a USB drive for the last 3 years, and never ever had this issue before. Most
    of the solutions listed on the Microsoft websites and answers deal with
    "Restore" functions, not the
    "Backup" itself. I have 3 folders being skipped during the backup.
    So I went and changed the Backup from "let Microsoft choose files, directories, etc" to "Let me choose". I included the files and folders that were being skipped, and ran the "Backup" again, and got the same error message,
    but the files that were skipped the first time were "Backed up" finally. This issue is somehow related to my "Libraries"?
    The 3 backup problems are:
    Backup encountered a problem while backing up file C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\My Audio Books\Audio Book Recordings. Error:(The system cannot find the path specified. (0x80070003))
    Backup encountered a problem while backing up file C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\My Audio Books\Audio Book CD Label-Cover Art. Error:(The system cannot find the path specified. (0x80070003))
    Backup encountered a problem while backing up file C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\My Audio Books\Audio Book MP3 Tag Art. Error:(The system cannot find the path specified. (0x80070003))
    Did a "checkdisk" - no problems. Ran a program to fix registry - no problems. All updates up to date. I guess I could eliminate these folders from the Backup folders in the
    Library, and just choose them under the "Users" locations, and be done with it. But I really want to understand this, and fix it. This is within Windows 7 and may be related to Windows Media Player or
    some recent Windows update.  Thanks.

    Flip4Mac plays Windows Media content, not AVI content. The codec needed to play those specific AVI files is most likely part of Perian or VLC but may not exist for Mac OS X.

    Have you seen this type of problem before? I think it could be a serious issue for anyone in a similar position.
    No; but then, I've not had occasion to use TDM. I've been using firerwire drives for over 10 years, both FW400 and FW800, with no issues except a bit of instability using a B&W G3 machine.
    TDM should be safe. Using cautious, manual copying of files from the Target machine to the Host machine should not result in unexpected loss of files or damage to the Target drive's directories. It should behave exactly the same as if it were an external (to the Host) firewire drive.
    •  I don't suppose there is anything I can do to 'put back' lost items from a separate Time Machine drive which has an up to date backup on it.
    There is probably a way to do that - seems to me that's one of the reasons for a Time Machine volume.
    On the other hand, if the Time Machine volume is rigidly linked to the now-absent OS on the original drive, there may be no way to effectively access the files in the TM archive.
    I know that using a cloned drive would work well in this instance.
    I have no experience with Time Machine, so perhaps someone who has will chime in with suggestions.
    With the machine in TDM with the other machine, have you tried running Disk Utility to see if you can effect repairs to the drive?
