Issue connecting laptop

Hi, when I use my phone as a hotspot my laptop cannot pick up the connection but other devices can like my old phone. How can I work around this? I'll be getting an ASDA smart phone at this rate

I'm having this same problem. Other Android devices work with my Z3C's hotspot, but several laptops don't. They either can't see it at all, or can't connect if even if they can see it. The good news is the USB tethering works great with Windows 7 without having to install any software on your laptop. If you're running some other operating system I'm not sure what your options are. But wireless would be MUCH nicer.
This is a serious problem. I even did a factory reset and it still doesn't work with the Sony default hotspot settings. i've tried with WiFi on, WiFi off, the power saving disabled, the phone is up to date, etc. I guess it's time to contact Sony.
Either it's a firmware problem (most likely) or some weird hardware problem. I've fairly sure it's not my provider (T-Mobile) as I can pop the same SIM into a Google Nexus phone and the hotspot works flawlessly with everything.
Are others here using their Z3C as a hotspot with Windows 7 or Windows 8 laptops?

HDMI Issue connecting laptop to HDTV

Hi Guys - I had my laptop connected to my HDTV via HDMI. I had unplugged the HDMI to take the laptop on vacation. It's been awhile since I connected it. Now when I connect the HDMI, I am getting the visual but not the audio on the tv. What am I forgetting or do I need to change a setting on the laptop (Toshiba Satellite C855 S5350)?
Thanks!

I believe that you need to go into your audio settings when the laptop is connected to the TV and change the default audio device from the built-in laptop speakers to the entry marked "HD audio" or something similar.
P.S. The cake is a lie.

ARD 3.6 Admin on 10.8 having issues connecting to 10.6 machine.

basically i have no issues connecting to any of the 10.7 machines in the office (all have 3.6 client installed now).
have no issues connecting to 10.7 machines that have dual monitors (most).
no issues with the few 10.4 and 10.5 machines i still have. nor any of the Xserves on 10.6 nor one single-screen 10.6 desktop i have.
BUT... there is *1* 10.6 machine that i can not connect to. the only main difference between it and other 10.6 machines is that it has dual monitors.
when it connects i only can see the external monitor showing up. then just pure black on the primary laptop screen. if i switch views to show one or the other... stays the same. a black screen on the main laptop display. if i switch to the black screen one and turn off 'scaling' i can only see the bottom half of the screen... but placed in the upper half of the viewer (with black beneath it). i can interact with it... but only with the things i can see on the bottom of the screen.
if i swap which is the "main" screen on the client in Displays (dragging title bar to other screen) ... there is no change. i can only see the external.
on a few of the 10.7 machines with dual monitors i *did* see a similar problem after installing 3.6 client. but after a restart they have been perfectly fine. only happened on a few machines though. not all.
so i restarted that dual-monitor 10.6 machine (it leaves the office frequently lately) and there was no change. turned Remote Management off / on. no change. resintalled the 3.5.3 ARD Client (no 3.6 on 10.6) ... no change.
the only change i did see... was that my ARD admin no longer can connect to it at all now (!!!). never times out either. just "Connecting" forever. however with direct client-style Screen Sharing i could connect. and there was no change.
the client machine itself is a Late 2009 MacBook (rubber bottom style). 2.26 C2D with 4GB RAM.
anyone else seen anything similar with 10.6 machines with dual-monitors connecting from a ARD 3.6 Admin on 10.8?
the machine itself can't be upgraded beyond 10.6 for the time-being (it needs a couple PPC apps with no replacements that are Intel). so that currently isn't an option.

I have similar issues.
10.7.4 running ARD 3.6. Connecting to laptops running 10.6.... "when it connects i only can see the external monitor showing up. then just pure black on the primary laptop screen."
Trying the same thing from ARD 3.5.2 running on a 10.6.8..... same problem.
Trying the same things from ARD 3.4 running on 10.5.8.... works perfectly well. Can switch between dual or either views......

Go step by step and test.
1. Power off the router. Unplug it from the wall. Wait a while.
    Plug it back to the wall. Power the router on. Wait until all the lights are lit properly. It will take a while.
    Restart the computer.
    Start up in Safe Mode.

    Click Develop and select "Empty Caches" from the dropdown.
3. Deselect Proxies if selected.

Issue connecting touchpad to WPA2 PSK network

I have an issue connecting my touchpad to any WPA2 PSK networks. The SSID is broadcast and other devices can connect but the touchpad errors with "unable to associate" even though I typed in the correct password. Any help is appreciated, and no I do not want to change the network settings since this device is supposed to utilize WPA2.
Post relates to: HP TouchPad (WiFi)

Hi Terabyte,
I don't mean to take over deltatuks thread but as we are having the same issue i'll continue!
I have power cycled the router and turned off/on the wireless on the device. I've just ran the tests and they all passed! including wifi! lol.
Still not working though.
This is very strange

Issue connecting with iTunes Match

Hi, i've got an issue connecting with iTunes Match. Most of the time iTunes doesn't connect to iTunes Match when launching the app. I just see the cloud symbol that indicates it tries to connect. And it just keeps on going. I then have to quit iTunes and relaunch it. Type in my Apple ID password. And still nothing. But around a third or fourth time I usually get a connecting going and then listen to music
And I'm not impatient. I give it some minutes everytime while opening and browsing the iTunes Store.
And the same thing happens after Sleep Mode. It is kind of annoying. Having open and close iTunes all the time.
Is there anything I can do? Am I perhaps doing something wrong? Is anyone experiencing the same problem or issue?
Thanks.

Hi,
Yes, your music remains on you computer.
Jim

There was an issue connecting to the server. please try again later. 124.

I'm trying to publish a site withdreamweaver as one of the 5 sites I get with my CC account using business catalyst, but I get the following error message "There was an issue connecting to the server. Please try again later. 124." whenever i try and connect which doesnt really help.
I'm logged in with the correct account in dreamweaver, and i have no issues publishing sites from muse using my CC account.

Hi Pirmin87,
There was a known brief outage a few days ago that could have resulted in this.

However at the moment everything should be connecting fine. If still an on-going issue please reach BC direct chat support for further investigation.

Airport Issues, Connects to BS But Not Internet

Hello, I hope someone can help me out here. I have tried several ways to fix this but still haven't had any luck. My issue is my Powerbook is having issues connecting to the internet through the base station. I can connect to other networks in my building and elsewhere with no issues. I get full strength on our connection and can connect to the base station but I cannot connect to the internet though our base station. Our BS firware is 5.7 my comp os is 10.4.7.
The thing that gets me is my roommate can connect fine with his MacBook Pro. I have tried everything from reseting, hard resetting, changed the settings, reset the PMU, etc.
Any help on this issue would be very much appreciated.
Thanks

Welcome to Discussions redlight24fps,
I assume you mean BS is referring to Airport Express Base Station? if so you should up date your Airport Express Firmware.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=75422
Also make sure you have the latest Airport Software.

I have this all new ipad4 and recently it is having issues connecting to wifi and logging into mails

I'm experiencing troubles with my ipad connecting to wifi. It would detect even right passwords as wrong where in it would connect to open networks without any troubles. This thing is also happening with my mail login. I can't login into my other mail accounts other than icloud as it would detect password entered as wrong. I'm so sure that I typed the password right and there are issues with the keyboard either. I've always checked caps lock and language I'm using are appropriate and there are absolutely no flaws when I'm typing passwords. Please someone help me rectify this and also share it here if you're experiencing the same problem.
P.S. I've gone so far that even resetting didn't work.

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
