I have a WRT610n and the 2.4 GHz just stopped working (5 GHz network is working fine)

Almost with the coming of the new year, the 2.4 GHZ net slowed down to nearly nothing.
That is to say that it works only very slightly, and is usually not even visible as an option to select.
But the 5 GHz network is available and works fine.
Here is my setup:
Speed touch modem supplied by Telus
Linksys router WRT610n ( i think version 1, because there is nothing written to tell me otherwise - there is no ver 2 next to the model number)
Macbook Pro laptop (new)
dell windows laptop (old)
two pc desktop machines (one running 2.4 GHz wireless net adapter, the other running a 5GHz net adaptor)
an iPhone (new) --> only works at 2.4 GHz (i checked)
the wireless networks are named as follows:
"SHONESY 5 GHZ" for the 5 GHz signal
"SHONESY 2.4 GHz" for the 2.4 GHz signal
for months, everything worked fine. the macbook communicated on the 5 Ghz net along with one pc downstairs (wirelessly).,
my iPhone communicated nicely with a full strength signal and good speed.
then, something changed and the 2.4 GHz net all but failed.
when the dell is plugged in via a hard line ethernet cable to the router, no problems - i get 1.3 MBPS on the speed test
the macbook can only see the 5 GHz network, but works fine.
same for the pc downstairs that runs on a 5GHz wireless network USB adapter
the iPhone now only gets one bar (if anything at all), and usually cannot connect (but can usually see the SHONESY 2.4GHz network in the utilities/wifi setup area)
i am really stumped.
could the router have failed? how can i check it?
what could explain what I am seeing.
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

Try resetting the device by holding down the reset button on the rear of the device for 30 seconds. If this does not resolve your issue, then it may be a hardware malfuntion. I have noticed that my 610n was running very hot and it was a common problem so I put a laptop cooler under it and its been keeping it nice and cool. May have just burned out. I hope you get it working.

I have Elements 11 and the Brush Tool continues to stop working.

I've reset all tools, completely shut down my macbook but nothing is working.

Go to your username>library>preferences and delete:
com.adobe.PhotoshopElements.plist
Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 paths
Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 settings
and any lockfiles with the same names.
If you are using 10.7 or higher, that library is hidden. To see it, click the Go menu in the Finder and hold down the Option key and it will appear below the little house for your user account. In 10.7 and up, while you're in there, also go to the Saved Application States and delete any for PSE.
Repair permissions (any version of OS X) and try again.

Welcome to the Apple community.
If you are unable to remember your password, security questions, don’t have access to your rescue address or are unable to reset your password for whatever reason, your only option is to contact Apple ID Support, upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.
The operator will take you through some steps you may have already tried, however they need to be sure they have exhausted all usual approaches before trying to reset your account, so you should try to be helpful and show patience with the procedure.
The operator will need to verify they are speaking to the account holder and may ask you some questions that only the account holder could know, and you will need to answer them if the process is to proceed.
Once the operator has verified your identity they will send a message through to your device which contains an alpha numeric code, which you will need to read back to them.
Once this has been completed they will send an email to your iCloud email address after a period of 24 hours, so you should check that mail is enabled in your devices iCloud settings.
Upon receipt of the email, use the reset link provided to reset your password, after which you should be able to make the adjustments to iCloud that you wish to do.

Difference between the 5 ghz and the 2.4 ghz network on the Airport Extreme

Strenght signal-wise, is there a difference between the 5 ghz and the 2.4 ghz network on the Airport Extreme?
Is the 5 ghz network on the Airport Extreme the 802.11n signal that is supossed to have better speed and strenght than the 802.11g spec?
I am confused because I can not tell the difference in performance between both signal on my new A.E.

The laws of physics always dictate that in order to gain something....let's say speed....you have to give up something else.
In return for higher speed capabilities, 5 GHz signals are not as strong as 2.4 GHz signals, so they do not travel as far, or penetrate obstructions as well as 2.4 GHz signals.
If your Mac is in close proximity to the AirPort Extreme, it will probably connect to the 5 GHz band. If you take your Mac to the other end of the house, it will probably connect to the 2.4 GHz band. The point is, the Mac will choose the best signal quality and connect automatically based on its location in relation to the AirPort Extreme.
If you are curious to know which band the Mac is connecting to at an given time, hold down the option key on your Mac while you click on the fan shaped AirPort icon and look for the Channel setting. You will see either 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz displayed.

My iMac is only several weeks old and the light on caps lock stopped working any advice?

My iMac is only several weeks old and the light on caps lock stopped working any advice?

Hi
Does the Caps lock still work, just not the LED?
Or does the caps lock not work at all? You usually have to hold the caps button for 1-2 seconds.
If the key is indeed faulty, then you should contact Apple, or go to an Apple Retail Store, or Service Provider to have the keyboard replaced

Try the following:
- A reset. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
If you still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order

How can I fix the paste function that just stopped working

Paste function just stopped working. Tried restarting, but still doesn't work.

I had this problem as well. It also manifested itself as drag-n-drop not working in Mail. I checked the Console and saw a line about "CoreDragCreate error: -4960".
A Google search for that revealed some details about the "Pasteboard" server that handles this stuff possibly not running.
I restarted my machine and it worked correctly. You might verify in the Activity Monitor that you have "pbs" running.

I have Windows 8 and the newest version of Itunes, stops loading.

I have tried re-installing, Have the newest version, but every time I open Itunes, It will not load. Help?

Only the commercials would play for me using version 3, so I upgraded to version 11. Still only the commercials would play, but the show or clips would not. I tried using IE7 and that worked fine playing both. I uninstalled and reinstalled Adobe Flash. (note: Firefox seems to have some problem. It identifies it as Shockwave Flash Player and Shockwave Director is something else, but the actual player in the window was the lastest version of Flash. ) The reinstall did not help. I then looked at all the Browser Options and noticed that I had disabled 3rd party cookies. I like to run that way. I re-enabled 3rd party cookies and now both the commercials and videos play. I hope this helps.

The function to combine pdf files and the function to add bookmarks stopped working in 10.x

We had VBA scripts in Access 2003 running with Acrobat 7.0 standard version to combine pdf files and to add bookmarks. The scripts worked fine. Now we installed 10.x and the functions stopped working. Does anyone share the same experience?
In the scripts, we just call the OLE object with the code like:
Set acroOrigPdfDoc = CreateObject("AcroExch.PDDoc")
Set acroNewPdfDoc = CreateObject("AcroExch.PDDoc")
Then we have the call "acroOrigPdfDoc.InsertPages" and "acroOrigPdfDoc.Save" to save the combined pdf files. All these functions work fine under 7.x. Under 10.x, they stopped working without any error messages.
Can anyone help me?

Post your problem in the forum for Acrobat SDK.

When I open a second Firefox browser window, the URL address window, instead of showing the URL, says "Go to a Web Site;" also, and more importantly, the "back" button is greyed out. This is a new problem, and the first Firefox window I open works fine.

After I open the first Firefox browser window, any additional window I open does not open my homepage, but opens a blank page with "New Tab" showing on the tab. An orange "Firefox" tab with a drop down arrow shows at the upper left hand corner of the screen. All of the options (File, Edit, etc.) are greyed out, however they will work if you move your cursor over them.
The URL address window says "Go to a Web Site". After I've gone to a website, the back button remains greyed out and I am not able to go back to a previous page. My RoboForm and Netcraft toolbars only show up in an abbreviate form. The add-on bar doesn't show up at all.
Again, this is a recent problem, and only happens after I've opened one browser window (which works fine) and then open additional browser windows (as few as one additional).

I had this same problem. Seems to be caused by the web developer tool bar FF extension (this started happening after a recent update to that extension). After disabling it, my FF is back to normal :)

I think javascript is not working. At least that is what it says on youtube. I cannot get any dropdown menu's in gmail either. I made sure the "enable javascript" is checked in the content tab. Just stopped working.

I cannot do anything in my gmail account, such as reply, forward or get any drop down menu to work.
When I go to youtube it says that either I do not have javascript or it is not enabled. I checked and the box says it is enabled.
I use a mac 10.6.4

I have an ipad2 and the screen shattered. It still works but is there a way to safely fix it without having to buy a new one?

We were on April vacation this past week and my ipad fell onto the road and shattered the screen. I can still get onto it and maneuver around my apps but the screen is spider webbed and shattered. I have heard their are screen kits you can but to replace yourself, but the reviews are mixed. They also say to be careful of the wi fi wires because you can severly screw it up. This was a huge purchase for me and I can't afford to get another one. What can I do? Best Buy says they aren't allowed to replace the screens from Apple products and I have heard Apple just sells you a new one at a lower cost. Is there a way for me to replace the screen myself?

Back it up befor you go to the Apple store for a replacement or sending it out for rapair.
