    Test after taking each of the following steps. Back up all data before making any changes.
    1. Make sure the network is on the preferred list by following these instructions. It's important to read the article carefully, as it's the starting point for any further efforts to solve the problem. If you skip any of the steps, the problem may not be solved.
    2. Follow the instructions in this support article under the heading "Symptom: The network connection drops unexpectedly."
    3. Make a note of all your settings for Wi-Fi in the Network preference pane, then delete the connection from the connection list and recreate it with the same settings. You do this by clicking the plus-sign icon below the connection list, and selecting Wi-Fi as the interface in the sheet that opens. Select Join other network from the Network Name menu, then select your network. Enter the password when prompted and save it in the keychain.
    4. From the Location menu at the top of the Network preference pane, select Edit Locations. A sheet will drop down. Click the plus-sign button to create a new location. Give it any name you want. In the new location, set up the Wi-Fi service with the same settings you used before. Click Apply and test.
    5. Launch the Keychain Access application. Search for and delete all AirPort network password items that refer to the network. Make a note of the password first.
    6. In some cases, the problem has been resolved by repairing permissions on the startup volume.
    7. Turn off Bluetooth and test.
    8. Reinstall OS X.

  • I have Windows 7 and recently everytime I try to update my iTunes I get an error message. Any reasons why?

    Hi! I have a PC running on Windows 7 and recently I can not upgrade my iTunes. Any reasons why?

    Many thanks, that's perfect.
    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    (2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • Clone computers. Any reason why not?

    Hi
    I have an Intel Mini and I am going to buy a MacBook for travelling. Is there any reason why I could not just copy my Mini onto the MacBooks drive? Would it still be possible to use them together on a local network, given that their names etc would be identical?
    Cheers!
    Inte Mini, Core 2 Duo 2.16, 7200 HD   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    Copying the whole drive is a bit like sandblasting a cracker. Obliterating the macbook harddrive like that will take ages, and presumably copying data back would involve copying the macbook back to the mac mini? This would mean that you could never use them at the same time because you would have you manually fudge the changes. Sounds like a recipe for disaster to me. So, no technical reason it can't be done, but lots of practical ones.
    A much better way would be to get some synchronisation software (Deja Vu, Chronosync, rsyncX, or whatever) and have a 'shared' section on each drive that you can sync back and forth. Another option (and one I have implemented) is to use a Subversion repository. Check out the repository to the mini and the macbook, and you can easily resolve conflicts and take it on the move.

  • Any reasons why the content of a fillable form cannot be viewed or printed?

    I have created a 2-page form on Adobe Acrobat XPro. I emailed it to specific people and they filled it out, saved it and emailed it back. I am able to view what they typed in my monitor only, when I click on the field, but it will not print the content. Any reasons why the content of a fillable form cannot be viewed or printed?

    That's what I asked the people I emailed the form to and someone just emailed me saying: "I'll check my adobe. It keeps asking me to update and I keep ignoring it so maybe it was my fault". So there is the answer I guess. I saved the document as an Extended PDF and selected Enable Additional Features. Is there anything else I should consider?

  • Using the new AppleTV, I cannot seem to find the same TV shows on the iTune Store as the older AppleTV. The selection is far more limited. For example, Modern Family is not available ... Any reason why?

    I recently upgraded from an older AppleTV to the new AppleTV. The TV Shows I can access through the new AppleTV are far fewer than before. For example, I cannot find Modern Family on the iTune Store, whereas I used to be able to find it on my older AppleTV. Any reason why the selection is more limited?

    I just found out the answer to my own post by browsing through other discussions. Looks like the new AppleTV only provides access to rental TV shows. Can't purchase anything ... So, the selection is far more limited. It's a drag, but at least the mystery is solved...

    Follow the steps listed above for Error 1604. Also, discard the .ipsw file, open iTunes and attempt to download the update again. See the steps under Advanced Steps > Rename, move, or delete the iOS software file (.ipsw) below for file locations. If you do not want to remove the IPSW in the original user, try restoring in a new administrator user. If the issue remains, Eliminate third-party security software conflicts.

  • Any reason why I should use Safari on my PC

    I use Mozilla now. I now have an Iphone. Is there any reason why I should download and use Safari on my PC? I expect the functions will be different from IE or Mozilla or maybe better, but is it a good idea to download and use since I have an Iphone?

    It's pretty irrelevant, unless you really want to sync bookmarks from your computer to your iPhone (you could do that with IE as well, but not Firefox).

  • HT3702 My Master card card was rejected in the US store, it was issued in Jordan from Jordan Ahli Bank! However, it is accepted in the Jordanian store, any reason why? and what should i do to get to use the US store for future purchases?

    My Master card card was rejected in the US store, it was issued in Jordan from Jordan Ahli Bank! However, it is accepted in the Jordanian store, any reason why? and what should i do to get to use the US store for future purchases?

    Because they are the terms of use of the stores - terms from the US store :
    The iTunes Service is available to you only in the United States, its territories, and possessions. You agree not to use or attempt to use the iTunes Service from outside these locations. Apple may use technologies to verify your compliance.
    And similar terms apply to all other country's iTunes stores. Part of the reason is licensing (Apple can only sell content where the providers have granted them licenses to sell it), amd part might be due country's laws (some country's have restrictions as to what can be sold within their country). If there is content that you want that is not currently in the Jordanian store then you can try requesting that it be added (but the content providers might not let Apple sell it there) : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunes.html

  • Any reasons why the icons lists in iPhoto aren't showing colors

    It may sound weird... My fiance's laptop, my MacBook Pro and iMac iPhoto list (Library, faces, photos, folders, etc.)- their icons are grey. Not colors. That was during Snow Leopard. I just upgraded to Lion couple of days ago, and iPhoto list icons are still showing grey, not colors.
    Any reasons why? Any way I can fix this?

    Greetings Sherry,
    The icons in the iPhoto sidebar changed to their present grey state with the iPhoto 9.1.5 update.  It should look rather similar to the iTunes and Finder sidebar if you compare them.
    This is normal behavior (everyone's changed) so don't worry its not broken.  They all have a consistent color scheme now.
    Cheers.
