Imac and d-link wont connect

hi all...
i have trouble trying to connect my mac to my d-link wireless router. it will connect when my network is unsecured but when i enable wep encryption, it wont connect. =[ when i try connecting, it asks for my password, i enter it and says there was an error and wont connect.
any thoughts???

Try not using WEP and use WPA2 instead. It's more secure and more compatible. Also, check the DLink web site for any possible firmware updates for you router.
Note that if you must use WEP that all passwords must be preceded with a "$" sign. See the section on third-party routers in this article.

Hi I recently dropped my ipod touch and now it wont connect to itunes. Everytime i plug it in, i get an error message saying that the usb device is not recognized

hi I recently dropped my ipod touch and now it wont connect to itunes. Everytime i plug it in, i get an error message saying that the usb device is not recognized

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

My imac and ipad2 will not connect to the internet with Windstream using an 2wire DSL modem.

Help my brand new imac and ipad2 will not connect to the internet with Windstream using an "2WIRE" DSL modem. Windstream tech service is useless. i can connect with the built in router through Ethernet or wireless, but still no connecting to internet, help! windstream said everything is working on their end, yea right. What i do know is that both the mac and ipad work at other places and can connect with wireless connected to the internet, so i know it's not the apple products.
these are brand new machines with lion.
This is my first mac, so I’m still new to how it works, which is not helping either so a detailed help would be great. Please help before my wife losses it
thanks

There is a 2701HG-B, and a 2701HG-D. If not labelled on the modem, ask Windstream which one they presently supply or how to tell the difference.
By the way tell your wife it isn't that bad. At least you have an ethernet DSL modem. There were times where DSL modems had RJ-11, USB, and Ethernet, and all three were used to provide access. At least now only the craziest DSL providers still use those modems.

Does the iOS device connect to other networks? If yes that tend to indicate a problem with your network.
Does the iOS device see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iOS device connect before?
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on your router
.- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

New iMac and iDVD just wont work!

All,
Just got a new iMac and iDVD just wont work, from creating a new project, or opening an old one, or trying to share from iMovie (HD)
If I try to do anything nothing seems to happen and when I close the program a window does appear and from there it just freezes.
Have deleted and reinstalled iDVD, repaired permissions, all up to date in my on software updates...any ideas?
Thanks
Zara

*Not knowing the origin to Your problem - General approach when in trouble is as follows.*
• Delete iDVD pref file - *or rather start a new user/account* - log into this and re-try
iDVD pref file resides.
Mac Hard Disk (start-up HD)/Users/"Your account"/Library/Preferences
and is named. com.apple.iDVD.plist
While iDVD is NOT RUNNING - move this file out to desk-top.
Now restart iDVD.
• Free space on internal (start-up) hard disk if it is less than 10Gb should rather have 25Gb
• Hard disk is untidy. Repair Permissions, Repair Hard disk (Apple Disc Util tool)
• Program miss-match. iDVD 5.0.2, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.5.5 - is OK - DON’T work under Leopard
• Program miss-match. iDVD 6.0.4, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.5.5 - is OK (might work under Leopard)
• Program miss-match. iDVD’08 v. 7.0.1, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.5.5 - is OK (might work under Leopard)
• iDVD (08) v7 Locate theme folder. Move out iDVD1, iDVD 2 and eventually iDVD4 folders to desktop - re-try
Macintosh HD/Library/Application Support/iDVD/Themes/ zzzzzzzzzz
or
Macintosh HD/Users/Your log-in//Library/Application Support/iDVD/Installed Themes/ zzzzzzzzzz
• Try a Cleaning CD/DVD that cleans the laser lens on the DVD burner/player
iDVD 6.0.4 and iDVD 7.0.1 are compatible with Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard
Last resort. from Craig. Solved the problem!! Finally!!
I deleted every iDVD application and folder from my boot drive,
emptied the trash and then installed iDVD 08 using the customize option
and I am up and running.
If You do a re-install be sure to get rid of all iDVD old parts AND then EMPTY the Trash-basket !
iDVD updated ?
Apple Codec updated ?
Start a New Clean project - or delete project assets
No of Colors - must be set to millions
EdinSF writes that, The 10.6.3 update with an Open GL fix seems to have taken care of the problem.

Im having massive issues with my email... I cant receive emails for my work email... was working perfectly and now just wont connect, i assume that I need to use my home wifi as the outgoing server?? Please help :)

For your work email, do you use a well known server or do you use their own server? Their server IMAP and SMTP addresses might of changed or you entered them in wrong. It might be something with your router but unless you blocked every incoming connection, then it should work. I would talk to your tech guys at work to see if it is on their end.
Hope this helped a bit, Sean

I changed the channels mine was set on 6 when I went into setup. My internet connection is set to PPPoE It didnt say anything that said " beacon interval" or "RTS and Fragmentation threshold" where would I find that at??
Anyway my wireless computer can connect online with excellent strength but my desktop will not connect. I disconnected the router and pluged the computer into the modemn and I had internet access although my signal was not great. All my lights are solid.
Should I bite the bullet and just go get a new router??

The servers are getting slammed. Bunch of people trying to download iOS7 at the same time.
There is a chance activation servers might be down/slow for now. Just keep trying throughout the day.

Blackberry link wont connect to my z10

I tried to connect my z10 to blackberry link so I could transfer music and pictures.
It has an error message and wont connect unless I restore my entire device to factory settings...
I spent all day getting the phone running and personalized, I don't want to have to restore it all back...
Is there a way around this?
Thanks.

I have the same problem, here is a screen shot. It makes no sense. I hooked my Z10 up to computer and it appeared a a CD which it is suppose to. I installed link and this is what happened right from the get go. There has to be a way to fix this without restoring.

Intel Core 2 Duo, OS X 10.5.1 and D-Link DIR665 = Connection Timeout

Have just acquired a new D-Link DIR-655 wireless N router to use at home, after the old Airport Extreme UFO decided to leave us.
We have several ibooks intel and G4's (running 10.4 and 10.5), a Dual G5 and a Sony Vaio notebook. I fixed the "Appleairport2.kext" issue when installing Leopard on the G4's and all were working acceptably (concrete walls are not friendly to high frequencies) under WEP and the Airport Extreme.
After installing the D-Link router a few hours ago, everyone is working fine under WPA Personal and the D-Link, except for the iMac. It did function for about 10 minutes (what makes the whole thing even weirder). We have BootCamp installed and neither OS X 10.5.1 nor Windows XP can connect to the network now. Under OS X 10.5.1, after you ask to join the network and give the information (SSID, type and key) it instantly (a second or two at the most) will say that "Connection timeout" on the lower left corner of the dialog. They do find other open networks not safe and connect just fine to the. Running our network without WPA or WEP is out of the question.
It does seem to be a Leopard WPA issue - but then it should not have worked at all the beginning as it did - blazing through some trailers from the Apple site like never before.
I've read the forums for a while now and found a lot of people that never got the connection to work at all. This case seems a bit different therefore the post.
Your help is very appreciated.

I think we're all awaiting an update to resolve this issue. Mine does the same thing, i think you'll find other similar posts in both the imac and leopard forums.
My temporary fix attempt is going to be using an old wireless ethernet bridge connected to the ethernet port of my imac.
For what its worth you can keep attempting to connect via the airport, and it may eventually connect, mine does, but once you wake from sleep you'll likely have the same issue.
Not what you were hoping to hear i'm sure.
Hopefully an update soon?
