Internet problems on my macbook pro and ipod touch with camera.
Hi,
For the last week or so I have been experiencing internet problems with my macbook and iPod touch with camera. I'll be online and clicking different news articles and suddenly the address bar will start to open a link but will not complete it. So what I do is go up to the signal bar and click turn off airport then turn it back on and that will temporarily solve the problem. Same solution on my iPod, I turn off the wifi and turn it back on. It is very frustrating for both devices. I will include as much info as possible. I have a NetGear RangeMax wireless router model WPN824v3. I was wondering if changing the wireless settings on that would solve my problem. I have the channel on 9. Mode on b and g. Security option on WPA-PSK [TKIP] with password. I would be happy for any help with this issue. Also I hope I'm following correct posting protocol. I haven't been on this forum in a while.
Sig,
Thanks for the advice. I finally tried a solution after doing nothing. LoL. What I did do was change the channel the router was on from 9 to 7. I think I've done something like this in the past when I had slow internet and that worked out well too. I thought that would help and so far so good. Not an interruption so far but we shall see. To the guy or girl who expressed that they had the same problem as me I would try changing the channel of your router like I did. I will monitor the situation and see if it totally solved my problem or not and keep this thread updated. Thanks people

Hello there Apple,
I am quite satisfied with how the Macbook Pro works and it's compatibility with other Apple products, but recently I have been having some problems regarding my iPod touch. Now I know that this seems to be a problem, that should be posted in the dedicated iPod touch forum, but in my opinion this problem seems to lie with the Macbook Pro, I will explain this later on.
It all started when my iPod touch did not show up in my iTunes source list. I have had no recent problems of this sort and I can assure you that my iPod has not suffered any recent hardware damage. Now I started looking for solutions in the internet and stumbled on the fact, that this seems to be a normal problem. I went through all the steps showed on the Apple site: I updated my latest firmware, newest version of iTunes, I changed the cable and USB ports, but nothing seemed to work. So as a last resort, I decided to put my iPod into restore mode. At this point I would like to add, that my iPod was working fine, my music was playing and all my apps still worked, it just did not show up in iTunes. So now my iPod was in restore mode (which of course you can't exit). I plugged it in and it showed up in iTunes, (this is when I started to celebrate), HOWEVER an error occurred, which said that my iPod could not be restored (Error 1611). I of course looked this up in the internet again and found that many other people had this problem as well and yet there seemed to be no solution to this problem, besides sending it to Apple, paying the mail fee, only to have it sent back and still having the same problem.
Naturally I thought I'll just plug it into my PC and see what happens. As it turns out, I was able to restore my iPod on the PC and even put music on it. Now I took the iPod, plugged it back into my Macbook and what happens? It does not show up in iTunes. It seems to me that there is a better compatibility of my iPod touch with a PC, than with a MacIntosh.
Is there any solution to my problem?
Also, I would like to add that I find it very inconvenient, that there is no large cross-platform harddrive as this causes me a lot of problems.
Another thing that keeps happening with my Macbook is that it keeps disconnecting from my Home network, yet all other devices have no problem with this.
Apple, can you please help me with my problems?I took the MacBook Pro into my Apple Store, and the Genius at the Genius Bar was totally at a loss to figure out why this was happening. I believe he tried booting off of a hard drive into Tiger, using an external drive with a Y-cable, using a powered hard drive (which was recognized), formatting my hard drive with another computer and attempting to mount it again on my computer, nothing worked!
So, he asked me to boot into Windows, and I showed him the exclamation mark in the Device Manager. I got an answer to my question that I posed above: Mac does not alter the hardware to the point that another Operating System is affected. So, with this one fact, he had the computer listed for repair, and now I am without the computer for about a week while they order the part, start the repair, then call me to pick it up.
So, the morale of the story is: do not use cheap hubs (that are not UL-listed), and BUY APPLECARE! The cost of a new logic board is about $1099.95, so AppleCare has paid for itself!
Basically, if you are having my problem, just get over yourself, and go to the Genius Bar. I kept telling myself, "if I keep researching it on Google, hopefully there will be an easy fix..." But there is not, just go and save yourself the agony. I'll check back when I get the Mac fixed. -
I am unable to sign-in to my iphone4 to make purchases or update apps. There is no problem with my MacBook Pro or ipod Touch when logging in to iTunes or Apple.com. My iphone keeps displaying incorrect password. All software is up to date. This very strange. Any suggestions how to resolve this problem as it is quite frustrating.

Thank you! This may sound lame but are these instructions for my blackberry? I'm receiving iCloud emails without problems on my MacBook Pro and I'd rather not mess w/ settings there. Thanks again!
You don't need to start a new thread to continue a conversation, you can just tack onto the original one. The settings I referred you to are for the Blackberry, since that's the device which is not receiving mail: anything which is working can be left alone.

Is there a security surveillance system that works with a MacBook Pro or iPod touch?
Is there a security surveillance system that works with a MacBook Pro or iPod Touch?
Problem is most vehicles can't supply enough power to charge a MacBook Pro battery, not without placing a generator in the engine compartment someplace like police cars and campers have.
Apple provides the MagSafe Airline Adapter but it's designed for 15V, not the 12V of vehicles, then it's only to keep the battery from discharging on airplanes, it won't charge it.
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB441Z/A?fnode=MTY1NDEwMQ&mco=MTA4NDE2Mjc
"It's designed for 15V DC that you find on airplanes. If you are the DIY type, you can make your own 15V DC automotive socket by using an automotive universal laptop supply to step up the car's 12V to 15V"
I found this online:
http://www.365laptop.us/product_info.php?language=en¤cy=USD&products_id=10 64
Notice the device says:
"Input: 11-14V DC 8Amp MAX " - Cars are 12V DC.
Output: -DC 15V.... the same as the Airline Adapter
Looks like one needs to cut and splice the two parts/wires one needs together.
This 12V to 15V conversion is a lot better/streamlined than trying to upconvert 12V DC to a whopping 120 AC and then your Mac's power brick is downconverting 120AC to what it needs in DC to try to charge the battery which the vehicle can't supply the wattage for anyway.
Apple has a patent on the MagSafe adapter, they don't provide a 12V to 15V converter + MagSafe adaptor for the car. It would be nice if they did though. -
Maverick and Your System message
I've updated my Macbook Pro and my iMac with Maverick, updating the various apps (Pages, Aperture, iPhoto, Numbers & iMovie, too) in the process.
On my Macbook, everything functions perfectly. On my iMac, I get the Your System has Run out of Application Memory message. But it's not Calendar, it's Mail that not only won't open, but when it does now, it takes the entire system out with it.
I open Safari, and it works. I open Firefox, and it works and Safari still works. I open Calendar and it works, Safari and Firefox continue to work. I open Reminders, and everything still works.
I open Aperture, and it opens Finder instead, showing the 3.5 update that was installed two days ago (and Aperture has functioned), but doesn't seem to update the app; after about 20 seconds the update disappears and I can now open Aperture and it shows I'm now opening the updated Aperture, which it didn't show before.
I click on Mail, and the cursor spins for ten minutes. The mail window finally opens, but the cursor spins and does not connect to upload new mail, and I finally Force Quit Mail. Since the Maverick update, even though Mail was not updated (and maybe because Mail was not updated), I have been able to receive emails twice, and then the program crashed.
Besides the Aperture app, Pages didn't fully update on the iMac, and I had to remove the old Pages icon from the dock after the new program loaded up from Applications.
Any ideas?Maverick and Your System message

How can I get Time Machine to back up an external hard drive (iPhotos) that is attached to airport extreme base station. Note: Time machine is usb to macbook pro and external drive with iphotos is usb to airport extreme base station. Help please. Thanks!
Once you have the drive connected to your Mac, click System Preferences (gear icon) on the dock
Click Time Machine
Click Options
Be default, the hard drive will be Excluded from backups. Click the drive to highlight it, then click the "-" (minus) button at the bottom of the list to remove the drive from Excluded items.
The drive will be backed up on the next Time Machine pass
Everything above assumes that the hard drive has been formatted in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) as Time Machine will only backup drives in that format. -
I installed indesign CS5 on new macbook pro and keeps freezing with spinning wheel once the app opens. Is there an issue with OS Mav or font issue or a plist I can pull. All other Adobe products work.
Migration should never be done with any Adobe program.
If you have done Migration, you have to UNINSTALL first (if even possible) and then download Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool and run that also. When this is done, restart your computer and install the programs from an original Adobe Installer.
Other question is, if your OS is supporting that version. You can try it, it is not officially supported, but it might work.
But CC will work, upgrade to CC2014 (without additional cost), use that as it is better anyway. -
I have a macbook pro and the software with snow leopard only has upgraded to 10.5.8, do I need to purchase mountain lion to upgrade to 10.6.8?
Your machine likely can't handle Mountain Lion 10.8 nor 10.7, if it does it will run slow and very higly likely a lot of your third party software and drivers for printers and scanners won't function anymore.
It's because your 10.5 era (or earlier) machine is rather dated, hardware has advanced and is faster, the newer OS X versions have gotten bloated.
I do recommend you call Apple via phone and order the 10.6.3 white retail disks, backup your personal data off the 10.5.8 Mac to a external storage drive and when the disk arrives, stick it in and run the upgrade installer.
Once that's finished, reboot and use Software Update to get to 10.6.8 and stay there. You can buy stuff from AppStore, just don't upgrade to 10.8 (or 10.7) as thats when you'll have issues.
10.6 should run your currrently installed PPC software and hardware drivers. But 10.7/10.8 will not.
10.6 is receiving security and other updates from Apple as more than 50% of OSX users are still on it.

Xcode 3.2.1 and ipod touch with firmware 3.1.2
Hi,
Recently my first application was approved.
I wanted to start testing my app also on ipod touch. I bought an ipod touch with firmware 3.1.2 (7D11).
I had to upgrade my OS to 10.6 (snow leopard) and i also downloaded the Xcode 3.2.1 .
My problem is that my ipod is not supported. I've created the proper certification and there's a green light next to my ipod icon in the organizer window in xcode.
The message i see is : Xcode cannot find the software image to install this version (and the "restore ipod" icon is grayed out).
What do i do ?
Thanks.Ooops.. sorry. my bad.
provisioning profile problem.
sorry. -
My daughter has an ipod touch with free texting, she received an inappropriate mssg and I would like to delete it and download it again to receive a new number. when I download the new app it gives her the same number? can i do this?
Have you tried the developer's support web site? Withut you providing the name of the app makes it very hard for us to give specific recommendations. The only one that i can thin of is to purchase the app using a diffeent iTunes account.

Release date for iPod Touch with camera?
Is it true that they will release an iPod Touch with a camera? Does anyone know if this is confirmed and if there's a release date for it?
Thanks!Julian Wright wrote:

Anything you read elsewhere is just a rumour until Apple says anything.

Internet problems on my MacBook Pro
I've got a MacBook Pro, which I purchased about 6 months ago. I connect using my home wireless network using WEP. Everything has worked fine until 2 weeks ago.
I'm able to ping websites without any problems, but when I browse websites using any browser, things either slow down dramatically or timeouts occur. I've tried browsing with Safari, Chrome, Firefox & Opera, and noticed the same behavior. The browser seems to spend forever in 'Connecting to...." state. And, it gets progressively worse. For example, when I start up a browser and type a URL, the page usually loads completely. After that, everytime I click a link or load a new URL, the slowdown starts and gets worse each time.
This is extremely frustrating, and although I have several years of experience working with Unix systems, I am not able to figure out why the laptop is behaving in this way or how I should go about debugging it. The results of ifconfig were fairly benign. I don't see any signs of dropped packets.
Any help that the experts on this forum can provide would be deeply and sincerely appreciated.
Regards,
SwaroopOne last bit of information. I wrote a Perl script (based on the LWP module) that emulates a browser by "visiting" 10 websites in sequence, like Yahoo, Amazon, EBay, Oracle, Sun, etc. Between each pair of calls, I print the current time, to calculate how long the calls are taking to complete.
I found that this script is able to retrieve the content of all webpages in 1 to 12 seconds, which is not too bad. So, the problem becomes weirder because it seems that internet is slow only when I use a browser. I wonder if there's any common library file(s) that all browsers in Mac OS share.
Anybody with more information about this?

Swaroop
