I GOT MY WI-FI WORKING AGAIN!!!!!!!!

For all of you who suddenly lost your Wi-Fi afer updating to 4.2, mine went down as well! I FINALLY got it working after trying everything, including completely restoring my iPod! I had the wrong password in for my network. The deal is, it showed me connected but the password was wrong! Why does it show you connected if the password is wrong?
I've seen posts about IP addresses not being strong enough ... so I thought, I'm going to see what the IP address is showing on my laptop and see if it matches what the iPod is showing. It was NOT! So I kept on clicking around and found the wireless properties on my laptop. I clicked SECURITY tab, it showed me my Network Security Key. I put that number in my iPod, and CONNECTION! This security key is also on yuour router. Mine was a 10-digit number.
I don't know why it stopped working as I did NOTHING to make that happen. GOOD LUCK!

What you experienced is not uncommon with WEP encryption. You can sign onto your network but not get the proper IP addresses from your router. If you are the least bit security conscious, you will change your encryption from WEP to WPA2-psk TKIP. Create a good 8-10 character password and you will be set.

Back out 9 and got my CD burner working again

After going through all the threads and not seeming to get anywhere, I finally got things working again. I had installed 9 and, of course, as with many of you, the CD burning stopped. I tried deinstalling, reinstalling, updating GEAR, etc, etc but no luck.
Finally, I did this (all based on a lot of different recommendations)...
I located the 8.2 download of iTunes using a Google search. I downloaded the installation routine to my hard drive but did not install it yet.
I deinstalled iTunes 9.01 and rebooted.
I did the cleanup of GEAR using this as a guide... http://www.gearsoftware.com/wiki/index.php?title=DRIVERS:Windows_-_Updating%2C_removing%2C_64_bit_versions%2C_etc#Manual_Removal_.E2.80.9 332-bit rebooting each time it said to.
I installed 8.2 and used a previous but very current .itf file to load my library (press the shift key when starting iTunes and hold it down until you get prompted to select or create a new library).
I did this and my first tests didn't burn anything. I realized I was reusing CD's that I have tried to burn to but that hadn't seemed to work. Evidently something was on them because when I used a fresh one today, it worked.
One thing... currently I have 8x selected as the speed of burning based on an earlier recommendation. I don't know if I need to have that selected of the 'max speed'. I'll test that next time I need to burn a CD.
Good luck!
Dave

I tried to burn another CD today. I reset the speed to 'Max possible' and it did not work. I changed it back to 8x, used another CD and this time it worked.
At least I can reliably burn CD's again.

How I got my ipdo to work again after the latest updater

after about 20 hours of headaches and listening to everyone's similar problems and trying everything under the rotten apple tree, here's yet another solution that seems to have fixed the problem. will have to wait and see how long.
I went to another computer that has never been tainted by (cr)apple software before. downloaded (do a save to a folder not a run) an earlier ipod updater from here http://www.soft32.com/download_121872.html
I then disabled my network connection and installed the updater. after doing that I got a windows pop-up about rebooting to update my usb drivers. I said no, I prefer microsoft.
it took a couple of tries but I got my ipod restored with nothing on it of course.
I then installed itunes (latest version). It did recognize my ipod and I told it "not to auto update". I played around manually dragging files onto my ipod and it seemed ok so I took it back to the original computer that has my thousands of songs on it. experimented some more with manually updating it. felt it was working fairly well so took a chance at having it auto-update. all seems fine now.
now at the risk of being un-constitutionally censored here's my opinion about the whole scneario.
a) the people at apple are too incompetent to conjure up a "force to upgrade hardware" scheme. sorry, it's simply just that same incompetence that has created the problem. the same incompetence that can't fix the problem. and the same incompetence that ignores the problem. any decent company wouldn't ignore it's customers like this. at least admit the problem and say your working on it.
b) when an apple product works it works...when it doesn't it doesn't. there are no fixes, no solutions. when it breaks it's time to purchase something new. anyone even contemplating sending in their ipod for repair shouldn't. if you are going to dish out that kind of dough you should move away from apple's proprietary stuff and get with the program and move to an industry standard such as mp3.
c) the ipod fad will end like everything else in apple's history. the ipod like every other apple product is a joke. why else after 20 years can they only manage but a tiny percentage of the personal computing market.
d) I'm obviously not a fan of apple, never have been never will be..just had a brief moment of insanity when purchasing my ipod a couple years back. will never happen again.
thanks fellow customers for listening...thanks apple for nothing
hope some of you get to read this before I'm deleted.

Firefox won't display a web page. It starts, I see it in Task manager but it doesn't do anything. It used to work just fine. I had troubkle with my service provider, they got the net to work again but firefox doesn't do anything. Explorer works.

I uninstalled firefox and re-installed it from download. No difference. When I boot my computer, the internet doesn't start automatically anymore. I have to go into network manager and start it myself. Don't know why. My on-line windows help won't connect to the net either.

If you look in the audio output port, is there a red light showing. If so, the internal switch is stuck.. Insert the headphones a few times, jiggle a toothpick inside or shot some compressed air to trip the switch. If no success, have the Apple store genius bar technician do it.
Ciao.

My droid maxx fell into a deep puddle got out as quickly as I could what do i need to do to make it work again

My droid maxx fell into a deep puddle of water just a few moments ago . Got it out as fast as I could but can't take battery out for the droid maxx what do i do?

While there is nothing you can do to guarantee it will work again, there are things you can do to increase the chances.
Dry it off as best you can with a towel or some type of cloth. Do not try to turn it back on. If it is on, turn it off as soon as possible to lessen the chance of shorting out the phone. Place it in a sealed plastic bag with a dessicant for several days. Something similar to THIS would work best. They are the little bags which come in shoes/electronics to keep moisture from them, but if you do not have ready access put the phone in a sealed plastic bag filled with uncooked rice.
Leave it in for several days before taking it out and giving it a try.

I just got my computer working again after 6 months of being without it, and now iTunes is saying it is not authorizable? How do I fix this?

I just got my computer working again after six months of it being down. I have had it for almost five years and it has been synced with my iPhone as well. I'm trying to re-sync it now but it won't transfer purchases I've made from iTunes on my iPhone and wants me to authorize my computer. I try, and then it tells me my account is already on 5 computers (it is NOT) and that this computer cannot be authorized. HOW do I fix this???

Log in to iTunes, go to "view your account info" on the itunes store, deauthorise all five, (Please Note: this can only be done Once every 12 months) and then re-authorize your current Computers one at a time.

After downloading service pack 1 for Windows 7 Firefox did not respond anymore (I got the startscreen, but could not do anything, it "hang"), after a roll back Firefox did work again: are Firefox and SP1 incompatible?

After implementing SP1 for Windows 7 Firefox "hang"(I got the startscreen, but could not do anything: no response). After a roll back removing SP1 Firefox works again.
I installed SP1 also some months ago and had the same problems, also then this was solved also by a roll back removing SP1.
Does Firefox have problems in combination with SP1? How to solve this? Thanks.

Followed the given advice: installed SP1 again, ran Firefox in safemode, disabled other running programs as mutorrent, still Firefox didnt work. I had internetconnection (after restarting mutorrent this did work, the app telling me what the weather outside is worked) but no Firefox: as previous time I got the start screen, but could not browse the internet.
I also tried to start the Internet Explorer and it also looked as if that application had problems (but that can also be because I did not use it for a while - old version or whatever - and it is not my standard browser).
Have again performed a roll back in order to remove SP1, now Firefox works again.
If somebody has advice it would be very welcome!

HT201274 After doing this my iPhone got stoke in the loading circle. How can I make it work again?

After doing this my iPhone got stoke in the loading circle. How can I make it work again?

Try connecting it to your computer and restoring it by going to the Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings and clicking on Restore (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414). If that doesn't work you'll have to put it into recovery mode and restore it, as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808.

How I' got a Tascam US144 mkI working again on a iMac Intel s.leopard 10.6?

what i did to get it, tascam us144mkI working again on 10.6 and a iMac late 2009, 21,5" 3.0Ghz ? in settings/tools (hulpprogrammas in Dutch), with the cmd btn l.click audio/midi config. click more info, mark 32bit. remove the latest driver 2.0 for s.leopard . i installed the latest firmware from tascam's site btw (maybe that did the trick)... installed the old driver 1.3 from tascam again and it works with all programs like iTunes, Garageband, Logic, the internet... good luck

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?

Mysterious Macbook 1,1 -- working, then dead...then working again...???

I've got an extremely weird case on my hands. This is version 1,1 of the white Macbook (2006, I believe).
Backstory/experiences so far:
I've been using Macs since 1990, and this is the first one I bought used. Might have been a mistake.
Everything was fine for a few months, until one day the computer was nonresponsive. No chime, no lights, nothing. The charge light on the magnetic power cable would light up and change from orange/green on a full charge, but that was it. Other than that, the computer behaved as if the battery had simply been removed.
Every time I walked by the laptop after that, I'd try the power button, just to see if it would turn on. A day or two later, it did. The little Macbook ran like nothing had ever been wrong.
A week later, something similar happened. This time, I heard the disk spin up, saw the power light come on, but never got to a chime. Later, an Apple Genius-bar-person would tell me that this means the initial system check failed. After turning it on, it acted like I had put it into hibernate. The only way to turn it off was to force-shutdown or let the battery die.
I sent it in to AppleCare, and they responded by telling me there was significant liquid damage which voided my warranty, and that I needed a new motherboard. Dead computer.
That was a year ago. I simply switched to using my desktop Mac, until...
A few weeks ago, I saw an ad for someone who fixes liquid spill apple laptops. He told me that often, the small power nodes (/chips?) on the motherboard short out, even though the board itself is fine. He replaced these, I paid him happily, and two days ago I had my little Macbook back.
I was able to use it like nothing had ever happened. About a week later, after a few hours of use in the morning, I powered the Macbook down and left the house. Three hours later, I tried to power it up again. Nothing. Totally unresponsive; back to paperweight mode. The battery lights on the battery case were active when it was plugged into AC, I should note.
I went back to my tried-and-true method of pressing the power button every time I walked by the Macbook. Six hours later, it worked again, suddenly powering up as if nothing had happened.
That was two weeks ago. Since then, it's often gone into paperweight mode, but it always comes back between 15 and 45 minutes later. Most recently, it's been turning on about 10 minutes after I hit the power key. It's hilarious...I try to turn it on, fail, yell and swear, and leave the room. 15 minutes later I hear a chime, and see that the little Macbook is booting up without help from any physical beings. I'm starting to believe in ghosts, guys...
I'm writing this on the Macbook in question, totally confused and completely afraid that it might never boot up again after I shut it down this time. Then again, it failed to start half an hour ago...but now, obviously, it's working fine.
Does anyone have an idea of just what the heck might be causing this? A loose wire inside? Evil spirits? Apple help in the store has been rather unhelpful (they didn't do much beyond chastising me for using an outside computer guy to replace the power chips...which worked great, by the way -- it eliminated the permanent-hibernation problem that killed the computer in 2007), and Apple on the phone have told me they deal mostly with software problems.
A few more facts/Summary:
-I'm no computer expert, but the official Apple party line I've heard so far is that "it's corrosion/tertiary effects from a liquid spill." That doesn't sound likely to me. If it's a corroded wire or component, why has the Powerbook NEVER died while it was being used? It won't start when it doesn't feel like it, sure, but it's never died while I was using it.
-There seem to have been 2 problems, the first of which is fixed now...
1. no startup chime followed by permanent hibernation. Replacing the power(chips? Nodes?) on the motherboard seemed to fix this "fail to finish booting" problem. This is NOT a problem anymore.
2. The "play dead" problem, where hitting the i/o key won't do anything for a while, and then suddenly works. Sometimes the Macbook boots when I'm pushing the button, sometimes it ghost-boots while I'm in the other room. I have no idea what fixes the "play dead" problem, it just seems to go away after a few hours.
-The computer has never died while it was running. It's always after a perfectly normal (seeming) shutdown that it simply refuses to start back up again.
-I Don't fully trust the battery. The battery pretends to be full, but according to the little orange light on the AC power cable, is ALWAYS charging (even when the green LEDs on the bottom of the battery indicate "full"). The computer has not been able to boot on battery power alone (i.e. with the AC cable unplugged) in at least a week. I have it plugged in any time I boot successfully.
-The Apple-store guy (who seemed to know what he was talking about, but also seemed to hate me) checked the serial number on the Macbook, and confirmed that it's pretty much been a defective unit from the start. Since 2006, EVERY YEAR has seen a new logic board. That's 4 logic boards this computer has gone through, not to mention a new optical drive the first year, and several other major repairs. I had no idea that was the state of affairs when I bought it...frankly I'm amazed that Apple kept fixing this unit instead of confiscating it to figure out what is really causing all of these component failures.
I know this is a lot of information, but I'm trying to present the facts as I know them...I just have no idea which facts will be important, so you get all of them. Any help would be appreciated. I've tried googling around, but I'm not even sure what to search for. On an even sadder note, I spent 2 hours looking at non-Apple PCs last week (all I can afford if this one dies), and I really don't want to have to go down that road. Not after 20 years of faithful Apple/Macintosh usage.
Thanks in advance, and my apologies for the long post.
-Dave

Important plot point here. I missed it on my first read through...

That computer is dead. You were ripped off. No other explanation for it.

It is a moot point. Once it gets wet, all bets are off and no reputable repair person will touch it.

I'm sure he doesn't hate you. He just hates seeing unhappy customers that he can't help.

Well, you also know that the previous owner poured liquid in it. What else did they do to it before that wasn't so noticeable?
Just buy a new Mac. Get an official refurbished one even. That will still be better than the piece of junk you were sold before.

Please help et mi nano working again

The following happened to me.
I copied file to my IPOD nano in windows explorer. After doing this my nanos is not recognized by windows. I get a message that the usb device is not working propely and I cant see the nano in the exporer anymore. It doesnt work with Itunes either.....
Please help anyone.. I have noidea what to do to get it working again
Thanks

Thanks for the tip.
I think that it could help if I can get my nano restored. The problem is that i cant get it to connect to the computer. When it doesnt connect to the computer I cant restore it that way. Is there any other way to restore the Ipod?
I tried to connect the nono ti two different PC:s. It got it connected before "pasting" the fili on the Ipod:s harddisk (copied and pasted in windows explorer). After I did this I only get the error message that there is something wrong with the connection.
Besides this the Ipod is working fine (can listen to music as earlier). It is even chargeing when it is connected to the usb cable. But I just cant get it to communicate with Win XP anymore.
Please give me some advise if anyone have a clue what to do or heard of someone with similar problem.
Thanks!

How do I get my galaxy s4 to work again?

A Week ago I dropped my galaxy s4 in the toilet on accident. I let it air out and it seemed it work fine and charged that night but since then It hasn't been charging. I couldn't use it for a couple days because once it died it wouldn't charge again. Finally I started to get it to work again nut it still had some issues. last night some juice got spilled on it and it keeps saying that headphones are plugged in when they're not and every time I plug in a charger it said it was incompatible. I left it in rice overnight but now when I plug it in it just vibrates. someone please help because I dont have insurance or the money to go out and buy a whole new phone

You may be out of luck with your phone.
Drying out a phone does not mean the circuitry inside the phone was not damaged by the water. There could be shorts, etc which may prevent the phone from working correctly or at all.
I would suggest re-activating your old phone if you have one. Another option would be to try to borrow an old phone from a friend/relative until you are able to upgrade.
