Losing connection to drive but not WiFi
I have a 2 TB Time Capsule with a new OWC USB HD plugge in on it. I am using the TC as follows:
* Running Time Machine backups to the TC over wireless or wired Ethernet to my MBA and MBP respectively.
* Keeping my photo library and my iTunes library running off the USB drive connected to the TC
The problem is that the MBP and MBA both keep losing connection to the TC drive and to the attached USB drive. As a result, they cannot back up and cannot access my photos or iTunes media. I cannot manually click through to reconnect. but have to restart the computer to get a connection. However, I still have WiFi and Internet when this happens.
The problem began only after I connected the extra external drive to the TC and after I put my iTunes media on that extra drive.

That is to keep the Gremlins smiling..
Whenever you do these kinds of things you can be sure you will be hit with the Gremlins. They may not exist in your cosmology.. but in the TC.. that is where they live.. Lion too which continually suffers networking issues.
Lion has simply forgotten where the disk is. That is why the reboot is necessary.
AFAIK there is no fix or work around. I believe a TC is unsuitable for the task. To say nothing of slow.. mind dimmingly slow. yawn!!
Even the internal disk is slow but the USB.. wow that crawls.
In the end you might need to connect the USB drive to a computer.. eg a Mac Mini and use it as a media centre.. doesn't need to be new.. a 2ghz C2D will be fine.
Have you tried just restarting the TC.. that is usually enough to get computer to recognise it.
What role does the TC have in the network.. is it bridged or router?
Let me suggest you try using an extremely short lease time on the dhcp.. whichever is the main router that controls it, and see if that helps. 15min for example.. It will not add any issues or significant traffic but it may help to keep things bouncing.

Blocking downloads to hard drive, but not flash drives
Blocking downloads to hard drive, but not flash drives
A nonprofit has asked me to configure new Windows 7 computers so that all content is BLOCKED from the hard drive, but any downloads may be downloaded to the individual's flash drive.
The nonprofit allows individuals to play games, check e-mails, but we have a problem with them trying to upgrade Firefox, Google, etc.
They want all configuration to the DEFAULT STATUS after a person log off the computer....no upgrades to any programs!
I will occasionally upgrade programs once a month or so, as the volunteer administrator.
They have changed the controls from Windows ME and XP, when I was a computer programmer and installer (I also worked during Windows 3.11, 95 and 98/98 SE versions as well)...
Anyone help me, please?1. You can change security with cacls function. However if you do it in wrong way, you can cut the branch you are sitting on:

2. If you are working in Active Directory, consider Group Policy
3. Consider third pty software for granular access control (DeviceLock,...)
4. There is nearly nothing that you can transfer from previous technologies. (Even nice
steady state in Windows XP has no continuation. Consider
kiosk mode in Windows 8.1)

can connect to appstore but not can't download songs or music albums in mp3.
Sorry, but music tracks and other media contact are not available in Israel via an iTunes Store at this time. None of us here can say when Apple will be able to obtain the necessary licenses and feel it worthwhile to set up an iTunes Store for your country.

Cannot reinstate catalog after returning PC (Windows 7) to factory settings (because of worm infection). Catalog was backed up on external drive but not using PSE backup facility. Cannot find and *.tly file. Is this hopeless?
If you made backups of all of your photos and your catalog file using some third-party method (i.e. not using the PSE catalog backup command), then you should be able to restore everything.
Step 1. Put the photos in the EXACT SAME LOCATION as before. For example, if they were in subfolders of C:\Users\<username>\Documents, then they must go into the exact same subfolders of C:\Users\<username>\Documents.
Step 2. Move the catalog file to wherever you want it to be, and then double-click on it. -

You need to Restore on iTunes for Windows and it will then work on Mac & Windows. -

I can't connect to the itunes store from my Windows Vista PC. I have run diagnostics and itunes have verified my internet connection as positive, but not the secure link to the itunes store. This comes up as failed. Any suggestions?
everytime I try to open the store it endlessly says "accessing iTunes store" but it never opens.
With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:

Hi i use the hp lap in connecting for internet but not open the bro
hi
i have some problam in my laptop in connecting for internet but not open for broswer and not update for software tell the solutionHi @jerry3 ,
Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have looked into your issue about your HP Notebook and not getting to the Internet. First try just to reset the router. Unplug from the power wait a few moments and plug back in.
Can get to safe mode with command prompt? F11 upon startup choose safe mode with Networking.
Can you get to the Internet in safe mode?
Please note remove any and all USB devices, and remove memory cards from the card reader slot. Disconnect all non-essential devices.
You can do a system restore. System restore will help if something automatically updated and did not go well on the Notebook.
I would be happy to assist if needed. How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?
Please let me know.
Thanks.

On the same iMac wifi can be connected in Win7 but not OSX Maverick
Hi All,
I'm encountering a problem of connecting to wifi on my new iMac. I'm wondering whether anyone in the community has also encountered the same problem.
My iMac is a late 2013 model with 21.7" display bought just 2 weeks again. The OSX installed is Maverick with the latest update. I have also installed Win7 using Bootcamp.
At the beginning, the wifi connection was OK both in OSX and Win7. However, just around 1 week ago, the network connection began to fail in OSX. When logging into the Win7, I can still connect to my router through the wifi and everything is OK. This at least can proves that the wireless adapter in the iMac itself doesn't malfunction and the router works fine. Also all the other devices in my home connects to the same router through wifi has no problem including 2 iPhone5, 1 iPhone4S, 1 iPhone4 and a MBA 2012 model.
However, whenever I switched to the OSX any try to connect to the wifi ends in a failure. The SSID of the network is displayed in the visible network list still but not connectable. By clicking the name and after a while for the iMac to try to connect, a message saying "network cannot be joined" will pop up. Even by running the network diagnosis and specifying a static ip address for the iMac won't help. And I have also tried out some tricks in the community but all seemed not work.
Really appreciate if someone can suggest and help.Hi there _Apple_Knight,
