Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

    Need some help in saving video message from viber to my Iphone 5S with new ios 8's program . I disabled the thing that would save photos and videos automatically then, there comes a video I want to save. After loading and watching it, I press the "save to gallery" thing but it doesn't save in gallery. I tried all, restarting my phone, rebooting then turning on the save automatically thing and when I watch it again, it still wouldn't save.

    Probably a good question to ask Viber or look at their support site.

  • I need some help with Portal - LDAP connection

    Hello...
    Can some one please help me with an issue I have when I try to connect a Portal in version EP6.0, with an LDAP, I go to System Admin --> System Config --> UM Config --> LDAP Server, Test the connection, it's successful, then restarted the server, but I still can't see the users at the LDAP.
    Hope some one can help me soon.
    Miguel

    Hi Miguel,
        After Configuring LDAP to UME portal,You need to create users in the LDAP.Then only you can see the users when you go to user admin->users->search for the user
    1. What happens when you give * to search users?
    2. Are you sure that you have mapped attributes of the user properly in data source configuration Xml file..
    3 Which LDAP server you are using.
    Cheers

  • Need some Help & suggestion on setting & connecting From Mini to IPod Touch

    I just recently bought a IPod Touch (16GB). I had discovered for me to connect to the internet on my Ipod Touch I need a Wireless Router or have some kind of WiFi connection, I don't have that right now but I Do Have a DSL Broadband Modem ( Westell). I had recently ordered a Apple Airport Extream Base station hoping that may Help me connect and have the WiFi that I need to have connect to my Ipod Touch. What do you think?
    My Mac Mini already has a wireless card Airport Extream installed but the Airport is turned off, How Do I Turn it back on in my computer?
    I was reading one Post that was kind of similar to my situation, the answer was that the Person needed a USB Cable to connect to the Ipod Touch, How is that Set Up? and what type of USB Cable? and can you get one from either the Apple web site or from MacMall?
    The other Answer was to share the WiFi with a broadband and to create a WiFi Network with the Mac Mini How Do I do That and How Do I Share the Internet connection with my IPod Touch?
    In My Ipod Touch Settings under the WiFi it says to choose a Network: there are 2 Options one is 2WIRE460 which is Locked the other says: Other where I have to put in a Network name, How do I get Pass this or how Do I set this up? after I set up a wireless and a WiFi system?
    Thank You,
    Mrs Foster.

    Hello, 
    You can use the Mini and it's Airport Extreme card as a simple router so there is no need for the AEBS. You cannot sync the iPod touch by WiFi (Airport) but you can access the internet:
    Go to  menu > System Preferences... > Sharing > Internet tab.
    Choose "+Share your connection from: Built-in Ethernet+" and "+To computers using: Airport+".
    Click "+Airport Options...+"
    Enter a Network Name of your choosing.
    Check "+Enable Encryption (using WEP)+"
    Enter a 13-character password twice.
    Select "128-bit".
    Press "Okay".
    Press "Start".
    Navigate to  menu > System Preferences... > Sharing > Services tab.
    Check "+Personal Web Sharing+".
    You should now be good to go to use Safari.
    cheers

  • Airplay keeps disappearing... Need some help and insight...

    Hello!
    I just bought an ATV2, but it seems to be having trouble to provide the airplay function.
    I have almost every kind of device that can connect to it, iPhone 4 (4.3.3), iPad 2 (4.3.5), Windows desktop (connected to the network via ethernet cable) and a MBP (Lion) connected wirelessly, both on the latest iTunes.
    When airplay fails, which happens all the time, it fails on all this devices. Both my MBP and Windows desktop have automatic time set for Apple's servers, so does the ATV2.
    Sometimes resetting the airplay functionality on the ATV2 (from on to off to on again) seems to do the trick, but only for about 10 minutes. Other times, I have to either reset the ATV2 or even the network router.
    Could this be related to the router? I´m also having problems (already did before the ATV2) with homesharing. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn´t. I´m not sure what to do here, I´ve tried everything I could to try and at least narrow down the problem source, but I can´t.
    Also, the ATV2 some times has problems connecting to my Apple account, giving me an error message, but seems to stay connected to youtube services, thus, to the internet.The ATV2 seems to be able to connect to the account again most times when I re-enter the details, but it has failed on occasion (I bought it yesterday, but have already tried so many things to solve the airplay that I´ve ran into this stuff many times during yesterday afternoon and today)
    I´ve tried moving the ATV2 closer to the router, setting a fixed IP address on the ATV2 and the other devices, have the TCP/UDP 123 port opened, I don´t know what else to try.
    I would really appreciate some help on this, something else to try. Can this be related to the router since I´m having homesharing problems too? Or can it be something wrong with my account at Apple (not that I think that matters for airplay, but I´m willing to try anything)
    Thank you very much.

    iStumbler isn´t currently working on Lion. KisMac doesn´t crash but can´t find any networks either.
    When you say, try connecting with ethernet, you´re refering to connecting the ATV2 directly to the router with ethernet correct? That is a good idea, I didn´t remember to try that.
    I did try changing the channels on the router, currently on 6, but I´m going to try to change to 1, 3 or 11 now.
    I´m currently at a coffee shop, I came here to use their wireless network and try homesharing between my Mac and iPhone, which never or poorly works at home. So far its working flawless. Sometimes the iPhone takes a bit longer to reconnect to the shared library (for the icon to appear on the iPod app and then to open the selected library) then others, but in general, for the past hour and a half, its been connecting to the macbook without much trouble, hinting me that the problem at home lies indeed with the router.
    Thank you

    Remote App on iPad connects but drops after about  20 mins. Need to turn  off wait about 1 minute, then turn on wifi on iMac before it can reconnect. Need some help please.
    Already gone through troubleshooting guide a zillion times. Thanks.

    This worked for me... A little time consuming but once you get rolling it goes GREAT... Thanks....
    I got my artwork and saved it to my Desktop
    Opened up Microsoft Paint and clicked on "File" and "Open" and found it to get it on the screen to resize it
    Clicked "resize" and a box for changing it opened up
    Checked the box "Pixels" and "Unchecked maintain aspect ratio"
    Set Horizontal for 640 and Vertical for 480
    Clicked on "OK" and went back to "File" and did a "Save As" and chose JPEG Picture
    It came up "File Already Existed" and clicked "OK" (really did not care about the original artwork I found because wrong size)
    Went to iTunes and on the movie right clicked on "Get Info", clicked on "Details", then "Artwork"
    Go to the little box on the top left that shows your old artwork and click on it to get the little blue border to appear around it and hit "Delete" to make it gone
    Click on "Add Artwork" and find it where you put the one from above on your Desktop and hit "Open" and OK and your new artwork is now there and all good.
    Sounds like a lot of steps to follow but after around 5 or so you will fly through it. This worked perfect on my iPhone 6 Plus and I have artwork on my Home Videos now.

    When am watching live news on air play it only shows for one minute 30 seconds ,, I need some help?

    First of all, Hunt--thanks for responding!
    "First, where are you playing the MPEG-2, that you see that jitter?"
    On both a MacBook Pro, an Acer laptop and my Mac Tower. I would love to think that it is a problem with the playback system, and that if I merely send the file off to the duplicator they won't have the same problem. Maybe that is the case...I don't know if I have a choice rather than sending it off to see. But it happens in the same spots, in the same way, on all three of the players so I'm a little reluctant to have faith.
    "Another thing that can cause jitter in an MPEG-2 is the Bit-Rate - higher the Bit-Rate, the better the quality, but the larger the file. For a DVD, one is limited by the total Bit-Rate (both Audio & Video), but with longer prodcutions, some users choose too low a Bit-Rate. If this is the issue, one would need to go back to the original Project and do a new Export/Share."
    Of course, but in the case there is no more 'original project.' It is gone like the wind, stolen along with his computer and backups.
    I think I am stuck using one of two files as my master: a DVD he burned where I only see the stutter/vibration/jitter once, or the mpeg2 file where I see it three times. Hopefully, the duplication house can rip if off of one of them and not see the jitter. I know that in audio, my personal filed, you can do a lot to enhance already existing sound--EQ, compression, tape saturation emulation software, etc. I guess I'm hoping there is some kind of analog to the video world that address jitter after a source has been printed--if indeed the source has been printed to be jittery.
    Thanks,
    Doug
