Laptop won't reconnect to home wireless FiOS connection after using Verizon Wireless connection

I have a laptop that I've had connected to my home FiOS Internet connection without problems in the past. Now, when I leave the house and use my Verizon wireless stick to connect to the Internet and then return home the laptop no longer connects to the home wireless network. Any ideas? I've already:
Rebooted the laptop
Rebooted the router
Viewed the settings for the laptop connection on the router info page
Thanks.

Hello,
If your internet connection at home is working fine using a wired connection (using an ethernet cable) to the router and you're only having trouble connecting wirelessly, then I would recheck the network settings on your laptop:
http://www22.verizon.com/support/residential/internet/fiosinternet/networking/setup/addwireless/1265...
The important part of this process is ensuring that you're selecting the right network name (SSID) for your home residential wifi network and entering the corresponding encryption key.
If you need additional help, please call Verizon's Technical Support department at 1-888- 553-1555.

My MacBook Pro won't reconnect to my Wi-FI automatically after waking from sleep mode

Hello, everyone. Since I updated to Yosemite, my MacBook Pro won't reconnect to my Wi-FI automatically after waking from sleep mode.
Does anyone know how to fix that?
Thanks in advance,
Arthur.

Hi, arthurpacifico.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Here are a couple troubleshooting steps that I would recommend trying to see if it corrects this issue.
Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
Reset your computer’s PRAM
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
If the issue persists, try the troubleshooting steps I have attached below.
Symptom: After restarting or waking from sleep, my computer might not connect to the Internet
After waking from sleep or starting up, your computer may not show that it is connected to a Wi-Fi network.
After start or wake, your computer may indicate that it is connected to a network, but does not connect to the Internet.
Solution
Use these steps if your computer does not automatically connect to your desired Wi-Fi network.
Check your TCP/IP settings in the Network pane of the System Preferences. Click the "Renew DHCP lease" button
Choose System Preferences from the Apple menu.
Choose Network from the View menu.
Select Wi-Fi, then click the Advanced button in the lower-left hand corner of the screen.
Click the TCP/IP tab from the top of the screen.
Click the "Renew DHCP lease" button.
Select the Wi-Fi tab and view your Preferred Networks list.
Select each network and click the minus sign to remove those networks from your Preferred Networks list.
Click OK and close the Network preferences.
Remove your stored network passwords using the Keychain Access Utility.Restart your computer.
Open Keychain Access from /Applications/Utilities. Your window will look like this:
Remove your AirPort network passwords from the login keychain: Select the "login" keychain from the Keychain sidebar. Click the "Kind" column to order the list of keychain items by their type. Remove all entries of the kind: "AirPort network password".
Remove your AirPort network passwords from the System keychain: Select the "System" keychain from the Keychain sidebar. Click the "Kind" column to order the list of keychain items by their type. Remove all entries of the kind: "AirPort network password".
Note: The above steps will remove your Wi-Fi network passwords. If you do not know them, or if your network does not use passwords to restrict access, you should contact your network administrator.
Join your Wi-Fi network. You will need to enter your password for your network again if it requires one.

My classic video ipod won't switch back to regular video mode after using it on an elliptical. The port still allows me to charge and works on the elliptical and treadmill but it will no longer change modes to allow me to watch my shows on the ipod screen

My classic video ipod won't switch back to regular video mode after using it on an elliptical. The port still allows me to charge and works on the elliptical and treadmill but it will no longer change modes to allow me to watch my shows on the ipod screen

From the iPod's Main Menu choose Videos -> Settings and make sure TV Out is set to Off.
Otherwise, try a hard reset as well. To do this, press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.

Pro L10: After using a wireless mouse, the touch pad has stopped working

Pro L10. After using a wireless mouse, the built in touch pad has stopped working properly. On start up the touch pad icon shows and the touch pad operates intermittently, after a few minuets the icon disappears and the touch pad stops functioning. In the control panel/mouse & or device drive I can the program operating and then disappears.
I have removed the software and reinstalled to no avail. On occasions I get a message to say that another pointer is in operation.
Can you help?

Hi
It seems that the wireless mouse or the wireless mouse drivers/software has a bad influence on the touchpad.
I dont have a proper solution for this issue. Well, you can check the Toshiba driver page for newest driver updates. If the updates doesnt solve this issue so I suggest to use either the wireless mouse and disable the touchpad with the key combination FN+F9 or to use a common USB mouse.
I assume that you dont have any problems with a common USB mouse.

MacBook no longer connects wirelessly to internet after using ethernet

So: here at home I have an airport extreme and a time capsule. The airport extreme connects to the cable modem, and the time capsule extends the wireless network created by the extreme. I was trying to do an initial time machine backup from the MacBook, so I plugged it in with an ethernet cable to speed things up. After using the cable, the MacBook will simply not connect to the internet if I connect wirelessly to the network. When wireless accessing the network, I can see the time capsule's shared drive, etc, but I can't connect through to the wider internet.
Any suggestions?

have you tried doing a power cycle on your modem and airport?

Dual Connection; Force use of Wireless for Internet, Wired for Networking

Hello,
I have 2 connections at work: 1) ethernet to our local server/network/internet, and 2) wireless internet (through my phone's hotspot). Our connection is very spotty through our network right now, so I want to use my
wifi for internet and the wired to network only.
I've tried manually entering the priorities in the adapter metrics (5 for the wifi and 15 for the ethernet). They still show 9 for wifi and 10 for ethernet as before (netstat -r).
I also found in another forum where to change the connection orders in Advanced Settings (Change adapter settings>Alt>Advanced>Advanced Settings, then move order).
Niether of these solutions have worked. I have to physically unplug my ethernet to get it to use the wireless connection. Webpages will sit there forever and then only half load or not even at all, but when I unplug and hit refresh, they pop right up.
Any help is appreciated

Hi,
The adapter metrics should work. Please take a try to modify the metrics on both of the two adapters, and then recreate the two connections.
Here are some links for reference:

IDVD disks won't play in home DVD player. They used to

Hi, can you help
I'm using iDVD 5, iMovie 5, saving as disk image, mounting image and burning using Toast 6 to firewire LaCie D2 DVD burner. I have done this many times using same configuration, but not for a while. The disks created will play in the Mac, but not in the home DVD player.
I have tested the burner using a peecee and it creates other types of DVDs OK. This has got me stumped because I don't seem to be doing anything I haven't done before. I've tried different disks, cleaned the DVD player, everything. In addition I have tried burning disks from some old disk images I had saved from previous movie creations. Same result. Is the problem likely to be with Toast?

Still no luck. I have tried using some Verbatim -Rs and have the same results, if not worse, since the disks created won't mount in my Mac either.
In answer to klaus, yes the Mac does recognise the LaCie drive.
I'm starting to think the problem is with iDVD or iMovie since I have tried creating a disk image, copying to my Peecee, running through Shrink to generate a 'clean' series of Video_TS, Audio_TS folders, and burnt them from my peecee, which still doesn't work, even though I know that older and other movies play OK in my DVD player.

Remote app won't connect after using it and closing it

Hello,
I currently have iTunes 11.1.3.8 installed on my computer which runs Windows 7. I am trying to get the remote app to work on my iPhone 4S running iOS 7.0.3.
I connect to the Remote App using the remote 4-digit code. Once I do this it works while I have the app opened. But, once I close the app or iTunes I am not able to reconnect and I have to enter the 4-digit code again. Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks!

THANKS!
I read that first article and think that we forgot to turn on Home Sharing on the iPod! I sent the link to them and hope it will solve the problem - will have to wait until they get back to me to see if that worked since they live pretty far from me...but I'm hopeful!
Thanks, again!

Limited Connectivity after logging into wireless network?

I have a questions in regards to logging into my wireless network from laptop. From laptop I experienced a connection but a "LIMITED CONNECTIVITY?" In other words a connection was confirmed but unsuccessful, it says? How do I fix? Thnx!

Make sure you enter your correct Network Key, limited connectivity error normally occurs when you enter a wrong/invalid network key...
If you are not sure about the wireless settings on your network follow the link here

Why won't my divs stay fixed in Chrome after using adobe edge?

Hi, Can someone help me with an Edge problem? I'm using:
load: "http://cdn.edgecommons.org/an/1.0.0/js/min/EdgeCommons.js",
complete: function() {
EC.debug("Commons ready: "+EC.VERSION);
EC.centerStage(sym);
EC.Parallax.setup(sym); } });
to animate a div by scrolling and then using:
sym.$("Symbol_1").css("position", "fixed"):
to keep the animated div fixed. It stays fixed perfectly in Firefox but it doesn't stay fixed in Chrome although the animation works. Also, any page that I've created in Dreamweaver with a fixed div fails to stay fixed in Chrome after bringing it into Edge and then publishing it. Does anyone know about this? Thanks.

Thanks Zaxist.
I had to play with what you gave me a little and removed the "#" from symbol and added "sym." to the "$" in two places ending up with this:
sym.$("body").append(sym.$("Symbol_1").css({"position":"fixed"}));
Works perfect! Thanks again!

Versamail on Treo 700p using Verizon WIreless/ Mac Mail

I have recently purchased a Palm Treo 700p and am attempting to set up the email in Versamail (comes with Treo). I use .Mac as my main email. I have set up the account with Mail Service as Apple Mac, Protocol as IMAP, Username (mac id), password (mac password), incoming mail server is mail.mac.com. This works fine for receiving mail. However, I can't find the right combination for the Outgoing mail server. I'm trying outgoing.verizon.net without any luck. Have trid to put in the authentication under my Verizon account username and Password. Am not getting the 530 Authentication error message, but instead am getting "the server did not recognize you username/password".
Which username/password would the SMTP verizon server be looking for???
Any other thoughts (this is way too hard...)
thx
SJW

I somehow managed to reply twice to the same thread. Strange. It's obviously too late at night to be doing this…
So, since I cannot delete this second message and it's now too late to modify it, I have posted yet a third to clarify information that did not appear in the first but was included in the second:
Your issue arises because your .Mac account does not reside in the Verizon domain. The Verizon server is looking for something like [email protected] [or something similar] and a matching password. By switching from the Verizon smtp to server to the .Mac smtp server, which you are routed to via your Verizon-provided pathway, you should be able to send mail.
Okay, that does it. Now I'm off to get some apparently much needed sleep.

Connecting my PDA Palm TX to Verizon wireless internet

I have a PDa Palm TX and recently switched internet service from Comcast to Verizon. I can't connect to my Verizon wireless internet service. I do not know which secuirty key setup I need. Can someone please give me instructions on connecting to Verizon internet. I have a wireless router and it works fine with my two laptop computers. Thanks!

Connecting to the internet with your TX should have nothing to do with switching from Comcast to Verizon, but rather the type of security you (or someone else) set on your wireless router. Also, some types of routers won't work with the TX. Check the "stickied" thread near the top of this board for tips and "how-to's" about wireless networking issues.
If you don't know how to get into your router settings to check them there, you should be able to see the security settings on your laptop by checking the Network settings.

Take laptop & printer to client, need to print from client computer using my printer

I nstalled my HP Laserjet 1102w to my laptop with my ips address to work wireless.
I take my laptop & printer to client's location and need to print from their computers using my HP Laserjet 1102w.
I network in to their ips address using my laptop to.
Could not install my HP Laserjet 1102w on their computer & print from their computer.
How do i print from my HP Laserjet 1102w using their computers at their location?
Thanks!

Hi debitacct ,
Thanks for clarifying that information.
You would have to restore the printer's defaults and reset up the printer on their network at the new location every time, to be able to print from the clients computer and you would have to connect to their network on your computer and add the printer back in again with the new IPv4 address.
Another way you could do this is through a USB connection or use the Wireless Direct.
You would have to enable the Wireless Direct on the printer through the printer's Embedded Web Server if you didn't select this feature during the installation. This will allow both computers to connect directly to the printer and print, but keep in mind you won't have internet access at the same time. So you can print when connected to the printer's network or connect back to the main network again to access the internet.
Here are the steps for enabling the Wireless Direct through the printer's Embedded Web Server if you decide to go this route. Print a configuration page to get the printer's IPv4 address. Printing a Configuration Page.
Type the IP address into your web browser's address bar. (Internet Explorer)
Then click on the Networking tab, select Wireless Direct Setup on the left side and check the Enable wireless direct printing.
I hope I explained that alright for you. The USB connection would most likely be the easiest way to go.
Have a nice day!
Thank You.

"Home directory is already in use"

Recently, we have been getting an error on several student laptops during login, that the "home directory is already in use". We have only been able to resolve the issue by deleting and remaking the account and home directory on the server. We have determined that the user has not been logging into their account from multiple machines.
Any thoughts on where this problem is coming from or how to resolve it?

Delete the .mcxlc file at the root of the user's network home.
Be sure to let Apple know that your are having trouble. Assuming the user is using portable home directories and letting his syncs finish, he should not be getting this message.
Also note there is checkbox in Workgroup Manager / Accounts / Advanced called "Allow simultaneous login on managed computers", but it only works for login with a AFP/SMB home. You may want to check or uncheck this depending on your needs.
