ITouch only connects to Wi-Fi conflicts when the laptop is connected

When the laptop is connected to the WLAN the iTouch connects and browses with no problem at all. Problem is that when the laptop is NOT on oe NOT connected the iTouch WILL see the wifi signal but refuses to connect. this is obviously a major pain. My friends iPhone finds and connects to the home network without issues - ie regardless of whether the laptop is on or off.
can anyone suggest a remedy? My iTouch is only 24hrs old!
thanks in advance, DM

Here's what's happening in my case. I have a siemens se567 router. I have a LAN with three computers using it. It's encrypted WEP64 bit. Everything is working fine except the new itouch. It connects, shows a strong signal, but won't allow the browser to connect to the internet. It do not have numbers under the DNS or the router. The Apple people I have spoken to tell me it's the router, and to talk to my adsl provider. The adsl provider tells me it's an apple software problem, they can't help. I can connect to any unencrypted wireless network. I can't even manually put in the router numbers. I have unplugged the router several times, but this doesn't help. I'll try your suggestion for "other" and see if that works. Thanks.

Can iTunes be set to play only one song and then stop when the song is finished and not go on to play another unless commanded?

Can iTunes be set to play only one song and then stop when the song is finished and not go on to play another unless commanded?

If you uncheck all of the songs, they will only play if explicitly commanded. Command-click in a checkbox and they will all be unchecked. Command-clicking again will check the all again should you want to do that.

Headphones only work if already plugged in when the Mac is turned on

I have a 13” mid-2012 MacBook Air running Mountain Lion. I recently noticed this problem with headphones. If I plug them in when the laptop is already running, they don’t work at all. Sound continues to play through the speakers, and the OS doesn’t recognize that headphones were plugged in. If I go to Sound on the System Preferences, the headphones don’t show up at all on the list of output devices; only the integrated speakers show up. If I alt-click on the sound icon on the top bar, there are no headphones listed under output devices either. The sound continues to play normally through the speakers as if the headphones weren’t plugged in. However, if I plug in the headphones when the machine is turned off, and then turn it on, they work perfectly (well, sound quality isn’t great, but they work). If I then unplug the headphones and plug them back in, they don’t work anymore as described above. I tested this with multiple headphones, all of which work normally on other devices like my PC, iPod and Android phone. I tried resetting PRAM and that other thing (SNC?), didn’t work either. I don’t think it’s a hardware problem, since it works normally under specific conditions. Sounds more like a software bug, but I’m no expert.. I searched around for issues like this, but only found generic answers which didn’t solve the problem, as well as unanswered posts

Since this is a consistant and repeatable issue, take it in to your nearest Apple store genius bar for evaluation. If you are still under warranty, they should fix the problem.
Ciao.

ronicr76,
First it would be helpful if you post the exact model, year and OS version you have.
> The LED light is on but only when the laptop is closed<
So that light is the sleep indicator and tells us that the laptop is going to sleep when you close the lid. That would be normal behavior so the machine is still working. Possibly you're experiencing a backlight failure. With the machine supposedly "on" use a flashlight to carefully examine the screen. Do you see the desktop? Yes? machine is still running and something is wrong with the backlight.
You should immediately backup your computer or at the very least pull vital files off. With the computer hooked to another Mac (The way this is done depends on the exact MacBook, E.g.FireWire 800 to FireWire 800.) Then you restart the computer and hold the "t" key down. This puts your MacBook into "target mode":
How to use and troubleshoot FireWire target disk mode
Once your files are off try an SMC reset:
Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
Are you able to get the backlight back on by opening and closing the display? Yes? Broken backlight cable refer to qualified service place. Even if it doesn't come on and you can still see the desktop with a flashlight it is still probably the backlight. Could be the a backlight problem also.

No license when the laptop is in battery operation

Hello
I have got a problem with the new license since LabVIEW 8.0. I activated the license when the laptop was in mains operation. When I try to start LabVIEW when the laptop is in battery operation, there is an error because of changed hardware. When I put in the power cord and restart LabVIEW, LabVIEW starts normally. Does anybody else know this problem? How can i start LabVIEW when there is no power outlet?
My laptop is from HP, the model Compaq nc8430. The processor is an Intel Centrino Duo.
Thanks
shb
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hello
The reason you are receiving this message is that the computer ID used to
generate an activation code for LabVIEW is based, in part, on your ethernet
card's MAC address. It sounds like when you change to battery mode that Windows
is reporting a different MAC address to the license manager.
I can generate a computer ID for you based on your hard drive's disk volume
serial number which you could use to activate LabVIEW again. This would prevent
this issue happening again in the future (well at least until you changed your
hard drive but I guess you'd be reinstalling LabVIEW at that point anyway).
In order to get that computer ID to you I need to know what your Volume Serial
Number is, this is how to get that:
1. Open a command prompt. Go to Start»Run
2. Type "cmd" (without the quotes) and click OK
3. At the command prompt, type "C:" (without the quotes) to change
the active directory to your C: drive
4. Type "vol" (without the quotes) to get your Volume Serial Number.
Once I get that from you with your Labview Development System (Base, Full,
Professional). I will reply with a computer ID number you can use to activate
LabVIEW at http://ni.com/activate/

Multiple subforms, only 1 of which will load when the PDF is opened.

I am new to LIvecycle Designer, and have had no problems so far that I could not resolve via Google or trial and error. Now I have an issue for which I cannot find an answer.
I have created a fillable form, 2 pages, that will handle input of various numeric values. In an effort to keep the size down, on each page I have a subform that will hold some of the calculations, with the total captured on the main page. That portion works fine--capturing the calculations from the subforms on the main page. The problem comes in opening the subforms. I created a button for each subform, that when clicked will make the subform visible. Each subform has a close button to make invisible. By default each subfom is set as hidden. The problem is, when I open the file, I can only open one subform. If I open then close the subform on the first page then I cannot open the subform on the second page (I can click the button but nothing happens). If I reopen the file, and open and close the subform on the second page, then I cannot open the subform on the first page. It seems there is some conflict in the background that causes the first form opened to "deactivate" the second form, for lack of a better term. I used the action builder to handle the open and close operations.
I receive no error message, and there is no conflict in names between subforms or buttons. I even tried a test form with 3 subforms to see if maybe I messed up in my first form, but I am seeing the same result.
Any ideas?

Hi,
Are all your subforms flowed layout, including the top one and do they allow page break within content?
If you can add a link to you form (maybe google docs or similar) then we can have a look.
Regards
Bruce

Qosmio X305 will only boot in safe mode or when the graphics card disabled

Hi All
I am having a very concerning issue with my laptop (Toshiba Qosmio X305). It will only boot in safe mode or if I disable the graphics card.
Awhile back I upgraded the drivers for the nVidia 9800M GTX from the nVidia website, it worked fine for awhile, but then it started crashing randomly by giving me a full screen of random color then switching off. I fixed this by rolling back to the previous version of the drivers (the drivers that came with the laptop software).
After that it working perfectly for months but yesterday my machine started crashing and I could not get it to boot correctly.
I have completely deleted (not just a quick format) both the hard drives that came internally in the laptop and I have installed a clean version (the out of the box option) of the x64 Vista that came with the laptop from the recovery disks I created. After I did the install, it boots fine as only the standard VGA device is used, as soon as I installed the driver off the drivers and applications disk it would not boot correctly:
Just after the status bar comes up and it is about to show the windows logo, just before login, I get a black screen. I can hear that it is booting fine and I can even log in to windows and by memory make things run, but I can't see anything. I then got the latest drivers, again from the nVidia website and they are not helping at all.
My system is as follows (nothing has been added, its is just how I got it):
Vista Ultimate x64
4.00 GB RAM
Intel Core 2 Quad
Like I said previously it is a clean install of the operating system, I have not added any programs, except for installing and then updating the display drivers.
Any help would be much appreciated!

Hi buddy,
It seems that this is a typical example, that only pretested display drivers from Toshiba should be used. Why?
The nVidia drivers are not pretested and they dont have an overheat protection. So for me it sounds like that the nVidia driver has destroyed your graphic card. That means no driver will help you and reinstallation of the whole system too.
I think the only option is replacing the graphic card. Therefore you should contact an authorized service provider in your country. Here you can search:
http://www.csd.toshiba.com
Explain the whole story and then you will see, what the technicians say. If your notebook is under warranty, hopefully this will be covered too. Normally other display drivers you have to install on your own risk
Good luck! :)

Can not start X when the laptop boots from battery

Hi,
I have just found out recently that X doesn't start when i boot my laptop from battery. After the daemons are run, X is started and then shows me a blank black screen. Ctrl-Alt-Del or Ctrl-Alt-Backspace don't work. And i can't change tty like Ctrl-Alt-F1 to escape to the console. It just hangs.
When power cable is plugged then the laptop works just fine. Even if i pull the cable out afterwards, it continues working on battery mode.
What can be the reason ? Has anyone the same problem ?

? on photo - file found but only linking that one photo even when the box is checked.

In Lightroom Library, a set of photos all have ?? question marks.. SO when I begin to link to the file, it is not linking the whole folder.. but only one at a time. What can I do?

what happened was files were moved outside lightroom, and its having trouble locating them...
Locate missing photos
Sometimes the link between the catalog and a photo breaks. When that happens, Lightroom displays a Photo Is Missing icon in image cells in the Grid view and the Filmstrip. In the Develop module, Lightroom indicates that the photo is offline or missing. Links between a catalog and its photos can break for a variety of reasons, including because photos are moved in the operating system instead of from within Lightroom, or because photos are stored on an external drive that is offline. If the drive is offline, turn it on.
(Optional) In the Library module, choose Library > Find Missing Photos to display missing files in the Grid view.
Click the Photo Is Missing icon in a thumbnail cell in the Grid view.A dialog box opens and displays the last known location of the missing photo.
Click the Locate button, navigate to where the photo is currently located, and then click Select.
(Optional) In the Locate dialog box, select Find Nearby Missing Photos to have Lightroom search for other missing photos in the folder and reconnect them as well.
you are going to want to do the #4, to reconnect all of them.
-janelle
Ps. if that doesn't work, trying synching your folders:
Synchronize folders
When you synchronize folders, you have the option of adding files that have been added to the folder but not imported into the catalog, removing files that have been deleted, and scanning for metadata updates. The photo files in the folder and all subfolders can be synchronized. You can determine which folders, subfolders, and files are imported.
In the Folders panel, select the folder you want to synchronize.
Choose Library > Synchronize Folder.
In the Synchronize Folder dialog box, do any of the following:
To import photos that appear in the folders but have not been imported in the catalog, select Import New Photos. If you select Show Import Dialog Before Importing, you can specify which folders and photos are imported.
To remove photos that have been deleted from the folder but not from the catalog, select Remove Missing Photos From Catalog. If this option is dimmed, no files are missing. (You can choose Show Missing Photos to display the photos in Grid view.)
To scan for any metadata changes made to the files in another application, choose Scan For Metadata Updates.
Click Synchronize.
If the Import Photos dialog box opens, specify the folders and files you want to import, and then click Import.

Is there a way to set the iPad Mail app to only get email manually, not automatically when the app is opened?

I usually don't use my iPad Mail app to check my email, but sometimes I go into the Mail app just to send a test email or check an attachment in the Sent folder or some such, and every time I enter the app, Mail checks for new email. Which means it ends up downloading five hundred emails or so if I haven't been to the app in a while. Annoying! I haven't been able to find a setting that will stop Mail from checking for new Mail when I go into the app; is there such a setting?

You can turn mail off in the settings but then you can't use it for anything, including the "test" that you want to perform.
Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Account Name>Mail>Off. That totally turns off the mail account.
As long as mail is turned on and you launch the app, it will look for an download new mail.

Windows 7 only gives me active USB ports when the DISABLE DRIVER SIGNATURE ENFORCEMENT is selected during system boot

I can only use the computer if I press 8 and select "DISABLE DRIVER SIGNATURE ENFORCEMENT". Without this, the system comes up OK but I do not have access to the keyboard and mouse. If I select any other boot option the system boots up but I am
unable to login since neither the keyboard nor the mouse is working.
The Device Manager is clean. All drivers work and have digital signatures. I tried to use local group policy editor to disable digital signature enforcement but was not able to make any difference. The OS is 64-bit Windows 7 Professional with Service Pack
1 and latest updates.
The system includes a WD USB 3.0 card, which I have been using for over 3 years without any problem. I recently (3 days ago) updated the WD SmartWare for Windows software. It seems that my problem coincides with this update. Since then, I removed WD SmartWare
and Installation software and restored the Registry to its previous restore point however the problem still exists.
As per SIGVERIF the not signed drivers are:
difxapi.dll              7/13/2009      2.1.0.0          Not Signed

usbuhci.sys              9/4/2013       6.1.7601.18251      Not Signed
The problem appears to be related to the not signed USB drivers.
The current USB 3.0 host controller is from Renesas Electronics (ver. 2.1.39.0). According to the Device Manager it is digitally signed and working fine.
Does anyone know how to fix this problem?
Thanks,
DC

This issue was fixed on my PC as follows.
1) Taking ownership of the above usb*.sys files in the drivers folder
2) renaming them to usb*.sysold
3) Using Device Manager to uninstall all USB devices with the yellow warning ! next to them
4) Doing a Scan for Hardware changes via the Device Manager toolbar and then waiting a few moments whilst the USB devices are re-installed with signed drivers.
Hope this helps you....

Why does my MacBook Pro fan go into overdrive when the laptop is not even warm?

The fan on my MacBook Pro is going into overdrive without any form of heat coming from the laptop. It causes the computer to be really slow as though there's a delay on the cursor, then makes it crash. It also disconnects me from the internet and won't reconnect without a restart. Had this trouble for a few months but it stopped for roughly four months without giving any clue as to what I had done to stop it, but has now restarted again out of nowhere.
I have tried an SMC reset countless times and it makes no difference. Operating system is up to date.

Either on Microsoft word or on FB and maybe some online editiing.. I have installed Istat and waiting for it to occur again so i can measure the heat and CPU usage.. any idea as to why this is happening??

How can I know when the laptop was last used?

I left my laptop at the office, which is also my parents' house over the weekend. How can I know if someone else had used it while I was gone? Is there a log somewhere I can read or check?

Console.app and check your browser(s) history.

I was deleting pictures from my Mac Pro and accidently deleted pictures that was there when the laptop was purchased. Flags, flowers so on, I empty the basket with out realizing what i did can i get these back?

Tecra A9 - external Monitor shows stripes when using the Laptop pluged.

Hello
I've heard about at least 3 Tecras A9 witch produces stripes on the external Monitor only when the Laptop is pluged. When using the Laptop with the battery, the Monitor works just fine. they tried to divide the cables of the Monitor and the power supply as far as possible, but still the same problem. When using the Laptop with a non-toshiba-AC Adaptor, the external Monitor is working fine.

Hello
In my opinion you should visit nearest authorized Toshiba service provider. They can connect your Tecra to external monitors and test it. If the result is the same I am pretty sure you will get AC adapter replacement for free.
Do not wait and discuss for days here. Contact them and I hope they will help you.

ITouch only connects to Wi-Fi conflicts when the laptop is connected
