Internet Connect..why does it say "The selected device is not available"..?

Hi guys,
Can you help? I am using BT Broadband in the UK via a wireless router. However, every time my computer wakes up from sleeping an Internet Connection window pops open and says "The selected communications device is not available. Please check your settings" or something to that effect.
Why does it do this and how can I stop it? My airport works just fine and automatically connects to the broadband.....
Thanks
Lindsay

Lindsay, what is the order of Ports in...

    If more than 1 device is using the same Apple ID this issue can happen using FaceTime.

  • Why does itunes say the entry point is not found

    why does itunes say it didn't install correctly and to reinstall?

    Greg, did the "Patchburn" really work for you?
    I had the same problem today. I have a smart playlist made up of: Kind>is>Protected AAC audio file. This smart play list allows me to keep track of music I've downloaded from the iTMS after inadvertently deleting the Purchased Music default playlist. Yes, I know a new “Purchased Music” playlist is created when you buy music again, but it doesn’t contain any of the songs you’ve already downloaded.
    When I went to burn this playlist (several hundred songs) to multiple audio CD format - I go the same result you got.
    "After asking to burn a play list it asks to insert CD, checks the media, checks the play list and then stops with the apple icon reappearing and NO error message."
    Apple tech support couldn’t help me - I found that out the hard way - after 1.5 hours on the phone. No, I haven't exceeded the 7 time burn limit either.
    I tried selecting all the songs in the smart playlist and creating a new [regular] playlist and tried to burn from that, but got the same result.
    Finally, I tried typing "Protected AAC audio file" from my main library in the search window, selected all the songs that resulted, created a new [regular] playlist from that selection and the burn was successful.
    It was a real pain and took almost 3 hours to figure out, but it worked. I'm going to try the "Patchburn" download talked about earlier, but don't know if that's the real problem.
    Yes, I have upgraded my SuperDrive, but iTunes recognizes it - Preferences>Advanced>Burning - if your drive shows up here then that's not the problem. Besides, I had the same problem when trying to burn to the original SuperDrive too.
    I think the problem may be deeper inside iTunes itself. Duh! Maybe something with Apple tightening their DRM scheme which may make us unwitting beta testers to see if they tightened the noose too tight or not. Just a guess.
    Any thoughts, anyone?

    (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?

    Why does it say No bootable device Insert bootable device?

    Can i suggest you spend more time explaining the situation, what you are doing, what has been done recently, etc?   One sketchy line is not much help.
    That said, i will guess that yu are trying to turn on your mac, and it gve you that message, immediately.
    It means that soemthing has caused it to not recognize your hard disk and the OSX software on it.  It could be:
    1. a dmaaged disk
    2. corrupted software
    3. a firmware bug
    4. a hardware failure
    Most likely the software has been corrupted at least slightly.
    The best first step is to boot from your original CD and run disk diagnostics/ repairs on the hard drive.
    I hope that fixes it.
    Then go buy an external bootabl hard drive and begin making complete, bootable backups on  weekly basis.

  • My Bluetooth USB wireless transmitter for my portable speakers has quit working.  Preferences says, "The selected device has no output controls", it used to work just fine.  Can anybody help?

    My Bluetooth USB wireless transmitter for my portable BT speakers has quit working.  Preferences says, "The selected device has no output controls", it used to work just fine.  The internal and a pair of wired external speakers work fine.  Can anybody help?

    Just tested something and it worked.
    If I put the headphones all the way in, the mac recognizes it as a digital output.
    But if i don't put it all the way in, it recognizes it as headphones and works perfectly.
    It's probably this crappy headphones.
    If anyone has the same problem, try this out.

  • I have a new Nano and I get a message that says the USB device is not recognized by my computer and I cannot set it up.

    I have a new IPod Nano and when trying to connect to my PC for the first time I get a fault message that says the "USB Device is not recognized by my computer. I have several other IPod devices and have never had this problem. When I go to windows explorer, the device does not show at all, so I cannot manually open it.

    Hello JETaylor2015,
    Congratulations on your new iPod nano!  I would be concerned too if my iPod was not recognized by iTunes or my computer.  I recommend reviewing this article for steps to take when your iPod is not recognized:

  • I downloaded Yosemite and now my iPhoto has a bar across it and will not open. I need to update to the latest version. The app store says the latest version is not available in the Canadian Store. What can I do.

    I downloaded Yosemite and now my iPhoto has a bar across it and will not open. I need to update to the latest version. The app store says the latest version is not available in the Canadian Store. What can I do.

    Go to the App Store and check out the Purchases List. If iPhoto is there then it will be v9.6.1
    If it is there, then drag your existing iPhoto app (not the library, just the app) to the trash
    Install the App from the App Store.
    Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4928
    One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
    iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.
