    Hello dj mark h. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    Let's double-check your AirPort settings on the MacBook ...
    System Preferences > Network > AirPort
    o Location: Automatic
    o In the left column, verify that an AirPort option exists. If it does not, click "+" to create one. (Note: If you are unable to create an AirPort configuration, the AirPort card in your computer either doesn't exist or it is not recognized.)
    o Verify that AirPort is "On." Click "Turn AirPort On" button if not.
    o Ask to join new networks: (enabled)
    o Show AirPort status in menu bar: (enabled)
    Systems Preferences > Network > AirPort > Advanced
    AirPort tab
    o Remember any network this computer has joined: (enabled)
    o Disconnect from wireless networks when logging out: (enabled)
    o Require Administrator password to control AirPort: (disabled)
    TCP/IP tab
    o Configure IPv4: Using DHCP
    o Configure IPv6: Automatically
    DNS tab
    o DNS Servers: <if required, add your desired DNS server IP address(es) here>
    o Search Domains: <if required, add your desired DNS Search Domain(s) here>

  • IMovie: hey apple i thought this was supposed to be easy!

    I have iMovie 08 and am trying to upload some of my son's guitar video to youtube. I go through all the upload steps then get slammed with the dreaded, "COMMUNICATION ERROR" message.
    "An error occurred during communication with the server ("lost network connection")..." then the message tells me to see if I am still connected to the Internet. Of course I am.
    Help!

    please help.

    Welcome to the Apple Community Billy
    You can only locate, lock or erase your device when it is logged into iCloud and 'Find My Phone' is enabled, additionally the device will need to be switched on and connected to a wifi or cellular network.
    Unfortunately, you cannot activate iCloud or 'Find My Phone' remotely.

  • I updated my iphone  to ios 6. now i can not charge my phone with any cable. it says charging do not support this accessory. what should i do now? can anyone help please!!!!!!!1

    i updated my iphone  to ios 6. now i can not charge my phone with any cable. it says charging do not support this accessory. what should i do now? can anyone help please!!!!!!!

    I upgraded my iPhone 4 last evening to iOS 6, the upgrade completed and the device was usable. Then in the morning I went to the device to check E-mail, Voice Messages, Test Messages, etc... and the phone was dead. I tried plugging the device into a charger (for a couple of hours) - still dead. Plugged into computer with iTunes, device not recognized or discovered, and iPhone was still dead... Took the iPhone into an Apple Store and the Technician looked it over for any visible signs of defect/malfunction, then performed various tasks to breathe life into the phone - nothing... His suggestion, at this point, was to replace the phone. He speculated that the iOS upgrade possibly corrupted the iPhone's charging firmware, and that this device was now a BRICK. Keep in mind that the phone and it's charging abilities were perfectly fine prior to the iOS Upgrade. I hate to go through the replacement hassle and the cost ($159.00) when the iOS upgrade caused the problem. Any suggestions? Thanks!

  • HT1311 i updated my country to usa but cant see the apps i have purchased in the purchased column

    what might be the problem?

    Okay. I hope I can remeber all my steps exactly because I fixed my own problem...with absolutely no help from Apple. I opened itunes. I connected my ipod touch to my computer. On my itunes page that shows my songs in the upper right side under the search library box there is an itunes button and since I am connected there is an ipod button. DO NOT CLICK THE ARROW in the ipod button...just click in the mail part of the button. On mine it opened to a summary page that gave info on my ipod. The menu bar has Summary, Apps, Tones, Music and more. I clicked on the Music button. I chose to Sync the entire music library. That replaced what was on my ipod but what was on there was going to be put back on so I was okay with it. I then clicked the Sync button on the lower right side and it sync'd and all my songs are on my ipod again. I hope this might help someone else. Good luck.

  • TS3988 My credit card was recently stolen. I tried switching my CC info to a new card on itunes. Now i cannot buy anything using that card on itunes - tells me to go to some support site but the site is cutoff on my ipad so i cant see the whole site. ***

    My credit card that was associated with my itunes account was hacked and recently cancelled. I need to change to a new card. I added one in itunes and was able to make one purchase...now its blocking any new purchases. How do i reset this so it freaking works again?????

    Contact Apple for assistance by going to https://expresslane.apple.com ; click ‘iTunes', and then 'iTunes Store', then 'Purchases, Billing & Redemption'.

  • HT1222 I thought this was supposed to give answers about the new iOS... This is a generic info page...

    The title is it, I didn't have anything else to say.

  • I have already purchased iWork bundle but cant add the programs to my recently wiped computer

    The title says it all. 
    My hard drive had an issue and was wiped clean by Apple a few days ago. 
    I want to reinstal iWork from my back up but it won't work. 
    The App Store only give me the option to purchase again. 
    Do i need to repurchase this software?

    If you originally purchased iWork '09 in a retail box or purchased the license electronically within one of the iWork apps, you will have to find the original disc or the e-mail with the license code. As of a minute ago you can still download the trial at this link. Note: clicking the link will automatically start the download.  If you purchased the apps individually in the Mac App Store, they will show up as available to install under the purchased tab.

  • I have lost my itunes icon from my desktop. I have recently downloaded windows 9 and thought maybe this had something to do with it. Can anyone help me get it back?

    I've lost my itunes icon from my desktop and can't see it anywhere else. I have recently upgraded to windows 9 and thought maybe this had something to do with it. Can anyone help please?

    Has iTunes been uninstalled or removed from you system?
    Is it no longer in the Start Menu or in Control Panel?
    What exactly was downloaded and installed?  There is no Windows 9, so it's not possible that it is installed on your computer.

  • Hi, I've got no music or videos on my ipad and itunes advise that I have 23gb of 'other' material therefore the sync is unable to perform. I was forced to perform a restore earlier and now cant see the videos/music so want to replace. Pls assist, thanks

    Hi, I'm unable to see if I have any music/videos/photos on my ipad and itunes advise that I have 23gb of 'other' material therefore the sync is unable to perform when  transfering music/videos to the ipad. I was forced to perform a restore earlier and now cant see the videos/music so want to replace. Pls assist, thanks

    23 GB  of other indicates a corrupt file(s).  A restore should resolve.
