I'm having connection issues. What can I do?

What can I do about connection issues ?

Connection with what, exactly? Cellular? WiFi? Bluetooth?
And what doe you mean by "issues"?  If you don't tell us what the problem is, then we can't suggest anything to troubleshoot and solve it.

    "Not only did it download a new version of itunes, but it also downloaded MS Word updates, and other software that required updating."
    MS Word is not an Apple product so it could not've downloaded with all the Apple software updates.
    "I clicked File > Check for Updates"
    What program were you running to do that?
    In any case boot from your OS installer disk and run Repair Disk from Disk Uility.

    Hi Peter!
    I'm sorry to read that you are having issues with your Sync account.
    Your best bet is to follow the steps described in this blogposts and open a bug:
    https://philikon.wordpress.com/2011/06/13/how-to-file-a-good-sync-bug/
    After that, if you don't want to user Sync in your computer, you can stop it with this simple steps:
    * At the top of the Firefox window, click on the Firefox button (Tools menu in Windows XP) and then click Options.
    * Once the options window opens, click on the Sync tab.
    * At the bottom of the Sync tab click on '''Deactivate this Device''' link

    Thanks for your note. My tech dept could not come up with any explanation for the dictation tool not working. We have about 1,000 employees in our office - I think I will send an all employee message to see if anyone else has the issue.

    Hey gwscrt,
    Since iTunes directed to you to restore your iPod, I'd check out the following article that goes over the steps to do so:
    Restoring iPod to factory settings
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1339
    I would read the document in full, but here are the applicable steps for you:
    How to restore iPod
    Verify that you have an active Internet connection, because you may need to download new versions of the iTunes and iPod Software.
    Download and install the latest version of iTunes if necessary.
    Open iTunes. Connect your iPod to your computer using the USB or FireWire cable that came with your iPod.
    After a few moments, your iPod will appear in the Source panel in iTunes.
    Select your iPod in the Source panel. You will see information about your iPod appear in the Summary tab of the main iTunes window.
    Click Restore.
    If you are using a Mac, you will be asked to enter an administrator’s name and password.
    A progress bar will appear on the computer screen, indicating that stage one of the restore process has begun. When this stage is done, iTunes will present one of two messages with instructions specific to the iPod model you are restoring.
    Disconnect iPod and connect it to iPod Power Adapter (typically applies to older iPod models).
    Leave iPod connected to computer to complete restore (typically applies newer iPod models).
    During stage two of the restore process, the iPod displays an Apple logo as well as a progress bar at the bottom of the display. It is critical that the iPod remain connected to the computer or iPod power adapter during this stage.
    Note: The progress bar may be difficult to see, because the backlight on the iPod display may be off.
    After stage two of the restore process is complete, the iTunes Setup Assistant window will appear. It will ask you to name your iPod and choose your syncing preferences, as it did when you connected your iPod for the first time.
    Have a good one,
    David

  • Activation failure - Requesting I need to activate Photoshop CS5.1 despite having done this previously & used Photoshop. Adobe can't connect to internet to activate, yet program is allowed through Firewall and not having connectivity issues through Browse

    Hi,
    I currently have Photoshop CS5.1 on Windows 7 (64 bit) and it's now requesting I need to re-activate it, despite having already done this with a serial number when I installed it and even used the program numerous times.
    I get a screen saying "Product activation is required" but every time I try to activate it, it says there was a connection issue and asks me to connect to the internet.
    I've checked my firewall settings and Adobe is allowed through. No connection issues using my Browser, Skype etc.
    Anyone got any solutions?
    Thanks,
    Westy

  • IPad 2 is having connectivity issues since I updated to 8.0.2

    My IPad 2 had connectivity for about 6 hours after I downloaded 8.0.2 last Saturday.  Sunday morning I was back to NO SERVICE in the upper left hand corner.  Yesterday I went to the Apple Store and they showed me how to reset the cellular data, and again I had my 3G back for 6 hours.  Last night and again today we were back to NO SERVICE.  Again I went to the Apple Store and they explained that there were a few phone models that were having cellular connectivity issues, but not IPads.  Well, that's bunk, since I see the complaints that are exactly like mine all over the web.  The Apple Store wiped my IPad clean and told me that if this is a software issue this should fix the problem.  If this is a hardware issue then I will need to buy a new IPad.
    Apple needs to own up to the problems that it caused with our devices.  AT LEAST, we should be able to take the updates off of our IPads and go back to 7.0.

  • Weird USB / sleep issue; what can I do?

    This is an ongoing issue that has been popping up since at least as far back as 2012, possibly further. It never made sense, and I've slowly pieced together some strange occurrences that might shed some light on the problem.
    Back in the Fall of 2012, I copied some data onto a USB thumb-drive from my laptop, then a 15-inch MacBook Pro (I bought it used, I think it was 2006 or 2007 vintage). There was a large amount of data transferred. The copying process took about half and hour. I took the thumb drive to a friend with a much newer computer. My friend told me the transfer took a few minutes. I knew something was wrong then. The MacBook Pro was running MacOS 10.6.8.
    The MacBook Pro died March, 2013. I was able to hire a specialist to extract the internal hard disk from the laptop, put it in a USB case, and transfer the contents verbatim to a newer machine; I had to buy a refurbished late-2012 iMac. running MacOS 10.8. (Now runs 10.9)
    I have noticed peculiar behavior in running this iMac. USB thumb drives and other USB hard drive transfers can occasionally seem sluggish. Weirder still, if I put the iMac to sleep overnight, waking it up in the morning causes a very strange "wake up" process where the display is greyed out and a progress bar lets me know it is slowly waking up. This wake-up process takes one to two minutes. This only happens when there are no USB peripherals connected to the iMac. If I put the iMac to sleep with a thumb drive plugged in, it wakes up instantly.
    I have long suspected the iMac had some kind of software bug or corruption that was brought over from the MacBook Pro in March of '13, when I hastily transferred everything over in the midst of the laptop's breakdown crisis.
    Recently, I ran Software Update on the iMac to get Epson and Security updates installed. I repeatedly was greeted by the warning message: "System extension cannot be used  The system extension "/System/Library/Extensions/AppleUSBEthernetHost.kext" was installed improperly and cannot be used. Please try reinstalling it, or contact the product's vendor for an update." I have no idea what this means, but it does seem to confirm that there's some weird bug loose and it has to do with USB.
    The only question is: what can I do about it? Would calling AppleCare for advice help?
    I am my own "Chief Cook and Bottle Washer", in that I do my own I.T. most of the time. I've been using Macintoshes since 1986.

    Hi Walt_Atwood,
    I'm sorry to hear you have been dealing with this issue for so long. If you are getting error or alert messages about a deep system file (like a System .kext), you may want to try reinstalling your OS. This should not affect your files or user settings (as noted in the following article), but just to be safe it is alway a good idea to have a backup of your data prior to these kinds of troubleshooting steps.
    OS X Mavericks: Reinstall OS X
    OS X Mavericks: Back up your Mac
    OS X Mavericks: Alternatives for backing up your Mac
    Also, regarding the unusual wake up process that you noted, from your description it sounds like your machine is waking from Safe Sleep. This may be normal for your model (Late 2012 iMac) if it has been asleep for more than 4 hours and there has been no USB activity:

  • Is anyone else having connection issues with O magazine?

    The iPad connects to everything else fine. It can surf the Internet using Safari, it can download apps from the app store, it can also download other magazines but when trying to download the "O magazine", it gives us an error that states "cannot connect to the server please try again". I have tried everything, even called tech support and no one can figure it out. Already deleted all settings and that didn't help either. Is anyone else having this issue?

    Try rebooting your router by unplugging it for 15 seconds or so, if it is WiFi connections taht aren't working.
