LG Spectrum 2 - Maps won't connect to data

I have a brand new LG Spectrum 2. Still ironing out the transition kinks but, I cannot use the pre-installed (and non-removeable) google maps app (which I loved on all my other phones)!!
The error says "you must have an active data plan to use this app
Well, with Verizon, as we all know, you cannot have a Smartphone without a data plan! Chrome Browser kept giving me an expired certificate warning and would not load either! Is Android not speaking to Google these days?
Lately cannot access Google Play Store either, unless I go through the web browser.
What can I do to fix this glitch?

It may seem a crazy question, but is the phone activated? Can you make and receive calls? Check the type of data network you are connected to and be sure it is CDMA/LTE. Are you using the browser on wifi? Turn off your wifi connection and see if you still have a data connection...
Make sure the SIM card is seated fully - maybe just removing it, powering down the phone, reinserting it and then powering the phone on again will be enough to re-establish the network connection.

After iOS 6.1.1 update, phone won't connect to data network

I've just updated my iPhone 4s to iOS 6.1.1 and now my phone won't connect to AT&T's data network at all. Wifi still works fine, but if I turn it off I have full bars, but no connection to the data network. This worked just fine before the update--what can I do to fix this?

Same with me. 4s-6.1.1--Airtel-india.

PC won't connect to network share

I have a Windows 7 PC that won't connect to a network share.
I can ping the server.
The PC has a static IP and is on the domain.
I've removed the PC and re-added it from the domain.
I've tried on a couple of different user accounts, but when either try to run to the server and share (start->run \\server\share) or use "Map Network Drive" it fails.
Any advice ?

The PC has a static IP and is on the domain.
The DNS points to your local DNS server?
or open up this registry settings:
HKLM->System->CurrentControlSet->Control->NetworkProvider->Order-> ProviderOrder
check the value of that string whether it contains this value: RDPNP,LanmanWorkstation
or compare the value of the registry with any machine on your system that is working fine.

Trying to connect our exercise bike to our wireless network. It sees the network, but once pass phrase is put in, it won't connect. Any suggestions? We have an Airport Extreme.

I am trying to connect our exercise bike to our wireless network. It sees the network, but once pass phrase is put in, it won't connect. Their tech support said the problem is with the router and we may need to open ports 80, 443 and 4348. We have an AirPort Extreme and I scanned for open ports and found 80 already open but the others are not. Tried using Port Mapping, putting the port number 443 in both the Public UDP and TCP fields and the Private UDP and TCP fields also. The Private IP address defaulted to 10.0.1.201 which is right outside of the DHCP range. Will this be the IP of the bike or should I change it to something else? Are the values I put in the fields totally wrong? Bike is still not connecting. Thanks for any help!

Here's an update:
Now the light is not blinking. It's a solid, consistant green. I don't know if it helps to narrow it down or anything, but I just figured I'd mention it.

AirPort Utility won't connect to AirPort for configuration

I was playing around earlier today with port mapping/static IP assignments, configuring my BitTorent client, when my AirPort network started to keep dis/reconnecting at regular intervals. I stopped what I was doing, and decided to reset the APX and start from scratch, and leave things as they were.
*The problem is, AirPort Utility often doesn't recognize the APX at all, and if it does it won't connect within the utility in order to configure the APX.*
This is strange, because after a hard reset, the AirPort icon in the menu bar shows will often connect to the now-generic, out-of-the box name Apple Network f790b07 but STILL AirPort Utility will NOT 'join network' in order to configure the APX.
HELP!

Airport Express won't connect using 5GHz

Hi Everyone,
I've got an Airport Express set up in "join a network" mode out in my living room for Airtunes and to provide network to my blueray player that doesn't have wireless. I've got a dual band DLink dir-825 router in my den.
My problem is that the AE won't connect using the 5GHz spectrum. It does connect just fine in the 2.4GHz at N speeds, but it refuses to move up to the 5GHz spectrum.
I also have a mac mini that does connect just fine using 5GHz and N.
Is there any way to force the AE to join my network using 5GHz N instead of 2.4GHz N?
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

adsfushi, I just set up a dual network with my roommate tonight... we have two separate networks - one 5ghz (he can connect to it) and a 2.4 ghz that I can connect to, but I can't access the 5 ghz. It simply won't recognize me. Why would that be? I have an airport express and use a 24 inch imac. He has a mac book pro.

8100 on TMo. 4.5 OS won't connect to internet

Hi guys. I followed the procedure that was suggested at this link to upgrade my Pearl to the 4.5 OS.
The phone can't seem to pick up a data connection for the internet now, though it does still pull my email and my Google Maps works. Gmail won't connect, nor will my Opera Mini browser.
Any help would be appreciated!
(Other random bits: 2 of MyFaves don't load, "About" link does not work)
Should I have gone through a different process? Will the 4.5 OS work OK with TMo?
Thanks!
Solved!

My HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 won't connect to my wireless router

This is bizarre. I have had my HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 for about 6 months. It has generally worked fine, and we have used it wirelessly only. But now it refuses to connect to the router. It can FIND the router, and it can find other networks in the area, but it won't connect to the router. I ran the Wireless Network Test, and the results say:
Wireless On - Pass // Wireless Working - Pass //
Network Name (SSID) found - Pass // Wireless Networks Detected - 9
Printer Settings Consistent with Wireless Router Settings - Pass / No Filtering - FAIL //
So it recommends solution as follows: "1 If MAC Address filtering is enabled, and you would like to keep it enabled, you must add the Mac address of your printer to the list of permitted devices for your router before continuing."
Except, guess what, I don't have MAC Address filtering enabled. I wouldn't know how to do that, much less check for it.
Also, before today, this was never a problem. HELP!
Thanks....
If you are interested, here's more detail and background.
Before today, the only problem we have had is that frequently our Apple laptop (OS X 10.6) has trouble connecting to the printer. This has been odd because the printer is connected to the network, and so is the laptop, but the laptop can't find the printer - it thinks the printer is "offline" (even though it's not). Usually, if I wait a while, it will find the printer, and it will resolve itself work fine. If not, we sometimes have found that it can fix itself if you restart the laptop -- restarting the printer does not make a difference. In fact, I did exactly that today, and it resolved itself. And I printed. Fine, right?
But then I wanted to do more printing, and the problem of the laptop not finding the printer came up again, so I decided to really "get to the bottom of this." I don't remember exactly what I did, but somehow I was persuaded by the online help, that the correct solution would be to go into my System Preferences / Print and Fax, and click on the "-", which de-installs the printer, with the idea of re-installing the printer. But then when I tried to re-install the printer, it could not find the printer. Ugh! Wierdly, it found an 8600 Scanner, but not an 8600 printers. After installing and de-installing the 8600 scanner a few times, I eventually deinstalled everything, and I decided to start from scratch. I got my HP disk, and installed all the software again from the beginning (even though it was already there), and then it looked for my printer, but couldn't find it. So then I got a USB cord, and plugged that in.
So, now I have a situation where I do have a working printer via the USB cord, but no wireless connection at all. In particular, since the Office Jet Pro 8600 won't connect to the router, I don't know what else to do. My Apple MacBook pro is 2 feet away from the printer, and it is connected to the router just fine (as is my blackberry), and I have never before had a problem connecting to the wireless router by the printer.
Any suggestions?

There are two things that can trip the mac filtering test to fail: actual MAC address filtering setup (sounds like this is not the case) and using wireless channel 6 or automatic for wireless channel in the wireless network settings (in the router). Since it does show failed for MAC filtering and you do not use this option, try changing the wireless channel in the router to 1 or 11. Those two channels provide the best compatibility with printers due to less interference. Almost everything defaults to auto or 6 for the channel and this causes a lot of interference. This change should not affect anything at all. To do this, you may need to contact the router manufacturer as the process differs from router to router.
What brand and model is the router?
Has anything in the network settings changed at all?
What version is the Mac OS X? There may be additional steps to take as it sounds like there are two separate issues involved and this could be revisited later.

HI,
The Apple IDs from @mac.com and @me.com (Older MobileMe and more recent iCloud Names) are also Valid AIM Screen names.
Any other sort of Apple ID is not a Valid AIM Name.
A Google ID that is associated with Google Mail Account (And has "Talk" enable on your Google Settings) can be used in iChat as Jabber Name/ID. (Google Run Jabber server).
Jabber and AIM are different IM Services and it is not easy or straight forward to add Buddies from one Service to the Buddy List of another. (As A Starting point consider it "impossible")
iChat 4 and 5 have links to the registration page of @Mac.com here with a "Get an iChat Account" button in the add (Account) screen (You select @mac.com or MobileMe and then press the Button - Choosing AIM and then pressing the button used to lead to the AIM registration page but AIM moved their page).
Apple IDs can be any valid email (or an @mac.com or iCloud registration)
Therefore you could make a Google ID into an Apple ID.
However this will not be a valid AIM Screen Name the way @mac.com or MobileMe/iCloud ones are.

HP 6520 wifi won't connect

Just took a 6520 out of the box, trying to set it up/print to it from a windows 8.1 computer, after returning a 4620 printer that had the same problem.
Ran the setup software. Setup software can't even manage to figure out what wireless network the computer it's running on is connected to - useless.
Printer can find the wireless network, and when using the wrong password, won't connect, citing wrong password.
When I use the right password, it just fails to connect.
I've rebooted my router, rebooted my computer, rebooted the printer. No good. Print doctor software is useless as it can't even find the printer.
I've turned off MAC filtering on my router, and disabled Windows Firewall. Nothing.
I have an epson printer that has no problem connecting, and every other wifi capable device I own can connect to my wifi with no problem, from both Android and apple phones to tablets to four different PCs and laptops to my freaking nest thermostat. Why can't my printer manage to just work over wifi?
I do not have a USB cable for the printer (it wasn't sold with one), btw, so trying that is out (besides, I bought this as a wireless printer, not a wired printer).
Help please.

Hi MattMihaly,
Welcome to the HP forums!
I see you have a Photosmart 6520 and a Windows 8.1 computer that don't seem to want to talk to one another. I'm sorry to hear this, but I will certainly do my best to help!
I would suggest you start by following the steps for Windows 8 in this 'Unable to Find Printer' Error Message Displays on the Computer During a Wireless Network Installati... document (make sure to follow the Option two: Connect with the Wireless Setup Wizard under Step five). If that doesn't resolve it, please try the steps under Your printer has never worked over the network in the HP Wireless printing center.
I realize you may have tried some of these steps, perhaps all of them, before but often trying them in a specific order is what makes the difference
Let me know how this goes for you!

My HP OfficeJet 6500A Plus printer/scanner/fax/copier won't connect to my wireless network

I tried going through the Wireless Network setup on my HP OfficeJet 6500A Plus machine. The printer recognizes the network and I then type in my network's password but it won't connect to the network. What can I do? I would like to be able to print and scan wirelessly. Help please!

Hello erking,

IPOD won't connect to Windows or show up in itunes...HELP

Have my daughter's 30 GB 5th Gen Ipod here. When you plug it into the computer with the cord, it will turn on, and charge. However I get a balloon come up that says "One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned, and Windows does not regognize it. For assistance in solving this issue click this message." I clicked the message. It shows the Ipod in Device Manager as an "unknown device" and when you try to update the driver, it says there are no better drivers to install than the one currently installed. I have tried the 5 R's step by step several times, and that does not work. I can not restore it because it does not show up in itunes. I have tried it on other computers and it does the same thing. It plays the music she has on it, works fine, but we can not get it to connect to either computer. Her friend's Ipods connect to both our computers fine, and will download songs etc. I also have tried putting it into disc mode to see if it would go into itunes so we can restore it. Same message comes up when you have it in disc mode. I have also tried the "tap on the palm" suggestion, which made no difference at all. It just won't connect. I do have the newest version of itunes downloaded and installed.
I am at my wits end with this thing! PLEASE help me get this thing to connect.
Thanks!
