Lost all my network adapters - network icon is X'ed out but still online
Win7 x64 - little backstory to explain how i got here...
This was a vista machine that i upgraded to win7. Everything worked after the upgrade except for hamachi (version 1). I did a reinstall of that and it fixed it, except i had 2 hamachi network interfaces listed in device manager, one of which was showing up as broken (yellow exclamation mark). Since everything was working i left it alone.
Fast forward to today - i tried to upgrade hamachi to hamachi 2. Seemed to work ok but i couldn't connect to any peers. Looking into it it said the hamachi adapter was faulty and looking at my network connections there was no hamachi adapter listed.
I opened device manager and there was just one hamachi nic listed and it was the broken one. I selected uninstall - checked the box to remove the driver and it uninstalled.
I then manually installed another instance of the hamachi network adapter. Hamachi still cant connect to peers - same error msg about the network adapter.
Only now, ALL of my network adapters are missing in the network connections folder. And the network status icon in the status tray is showing a red X as though it's not connected, even though this PC is online (i'm connecting to it through RDP).
I've already tried rebooting - no effect. So any ideas where all my network connections/adapters went and how to get this all sorted?
One more piece of info - if i right click on the network icon in the status tray and select troubleshoot, having another problem, specific adapter - on that screen it then lists 3 network adapters. Tried letting it diagnose all of them but no effect.
And if i open the network connections folder and go to help, advanced options, i get an 'unexpected error'
Hi,
This issue can occur by incompatible NIC driver or corrupted files. I suggest you try the following steps.
1. Uninstall the NIC driver and reinstall the driver for Windows Vista or Windows 7 in Compatibility Mode.
2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode with Networking and check the result.
If there is any error message, please capture and upload it for research.
Thanks,
Novak

I deleted a contact out of my iPhone 4S but when I go to send a message the contact appears although that individual is no longer in my address book. I deleted all text and call history pertaining to the deleted contact but still shows up. Does anyone have the same issue and how do I fix it?

Any music purchased through the iTunes store can be downloaded again for free as long as you are signed in with the Apple ID you used for the original purchase. Any other music you had in iTunes should be easily accessible in your system back up or from the CDs you ripped from originally.

Has anyone out there been having any problems with Itunes since updating Itunes. First it lost all our music (which I recovered), now it won't find my phone when I plug it in.
I hate to say it, but Apple is literally infamous for teething problems on new releases. It's usually fixed in two days, though that fix usually gets fixed, too, so sometimes a week, but does means downloading new updates.
My (experienced) advice? Wait a couple of days, check for updates, try again. Pray (or whatever works for you) that you don't have the "lost Apple Device Driver" problem several people are having.
I keep an older version of iTunes installer on a backup drive (or just in my downloads folder), just for such events. Worst-case, I've always been able to uninstall iTunes (including driver and user info), then install my old version of iTunes and roll on. Yes, my iTunes folder is on an external hard drive, so I can move it around to my different computers, and then keep a backup of that hard drive on a second external hard drive. Saves me a ton of headaches. -
I lost all my pdfs files! I haven't sync them but I backed up my ipad. How can i get them back?
HEllo
AFter updating my ios and then my ibooks app, i found out that all my pdf files were gone!
SInce i didn't synced them, but i backed up my ipad,is there a way to get them back?
THanks for reading this.IN my ibooks, I have one book and a lot of pdf files. I don't mind deleting the book as it was free but I'd rather save my pdf files.
I tried both but still, nothing appears.
CAn you tell me how to back up one app? I know how to back up all of them. But in that case, I think you're suggesting me just to back up Ibooks...
ANd does it matter that i haven't sync my Ibooks in itunes? I mean, I have backed up my ipad, is it enough?
ANd is it because of my app update or my ios update? I wouldn't like to do the same mistake in the future...
THanks so much for your quick help! -
my ipod has a frozen white screen i have gone through all the holding buttons procedures and reset on laptop but still nothing,could it be the touch screen which was replaced around a month ago but has worked fine till now
Couold be related tot he sscreen replacment
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem. I would take it back to where the screen was replaced. -
I've suddenly lost all Airport networks HELP!
G5 dual 2.5 APExtreme card that worked untill recently. The computer is hardwired to the Wireless router. It was an APExtreme base, but has been switched to a net gear. All of the other computers in the office, G5, and three powerbooks all "see" the new network on the netgear, however this one G5 no longer shows any networks when AP is on. Usually I can see at least two other nearby networks, but not now.
I've tried fsck, permissions, optimization, and can't figure this one out.
Any suggestionsDid you try turning Airport off then on again?
Is the Netgrear broadcasting the SSID?

Network recognises SIM card and modem, but still cannot connect. but the
I have a Huawei E 220 modem. After downloading a duff Vodafone update, I lost my connection and even with fresh software could never quite get the modem to connect, even though it was speaking to the network. I´ve changed to another provider Telefonica Movistar in Spain (who own O2 in the rest of Europe), and this shows in the program window that I have 3G connection, a good signal, the Sim card is recognised, and that I am registered. However when I ask it to connect, it gives to error messages, the first of which is that it has not been possible to start the "Tool" and the next asking me to check the connection and start again. Unlike the Vodafone program there are no obvious windows allowing you to alter phone numbers or security codes (in fact there don´t seem to be any).
Has anyone any idea what has gone wrong? I´ve deinstalled the and reinstalled both programs a number of times. Everything works fine until I click to connect to the internet.
All I can think of is that there is something left somewhere from the duff program, but I have no idea where to look for it.Thanks for the reply.
I went through all the settings in Internet Connect including preferences with the Vodafone set up, and they were eventually all correct, even though for some reason the number of asterisks in the coded sections seems to bear no relation to how many characters you entered . The modem was connecting to the network, went to "authenticating", and then could not "negotiate" a connection.
In the new system with Telefonica, i can´t work out if it connects to Internet Connect, or is entirely self contained. I think the latter, as there are no settings in the Internet Connection which refer to it (Actually I had wiped every setting I could find before installing in case old Vodafone settings might be causing the problem). As it is, the blue light flashes, indicating a high Speed connection and the Movistar pane shows a good connection, that the card is "registrado" which I think means connected, but it then fails at the authentication point, just like Vodafone. As I understand the error messages, which are in Spanish, it then seems to think that the modem is not correctly installed and asks me to check the connections again. The preferences window for this Movistar program does not give you the option of entering phone numbers or passwords, other than the Sim card code which you get on any mobile phone and which is not network relevant.
other than that and choosing what service you want from it and the connection sppeds which are set to mobile internet and automatic respectively, the movistar set up doesn´t give away any options.
it seems to me that there is some simple software setting problem that remains from the duff program, but I just can´t work out where it might be. The first time I tried to solve a mobile modem program problem (which eventually was solved by downloading a later version of the mobile software), i ended up losing one of the core OSX prgrams, which I assumed was a part of the mobile modem set-up, and I don´t want to do that again. One of the weaknesses of the Apple support and problem solving system is that it does rather depend on you having internet access. When access is actuallay the problem and you have to go out to internet cafes and find solutions using cranky windows machines and internet expolorer which doesn´t seem to work seamlessly with Apple pages, it really gets to be longwinded drag. -
Been trying to update my ipad, and it keeps failing. the screen message I get says network failed ot timed out. Have no problem with internet coverage. Have tried on several occasions now.
