I suggest removing the driver via Device Manager, then re-installing the drivers from HP Recovery manager.
Make sure the bluetooth dongle and the drivers are compatible with Vista 64bit.
I have more HP devices than you'd expect.
1 HP TouchPad 32 GB with Android
2 HP Touchsmarts (310-1000z and IQ527)
2 HP Printers (J6480 and J5750)
1 Laptop (HP DV6253CL)
Have at least some experience in each of those devices, and i'll do my best to help you.
Kudos if I helped!

Apple tv wont connect to wireless

Hi bought an apple tv 6th may this year. Followed all instructions etc and worked perfectly.. Could access all packages etc, picked up from all our devices, iphones, ipad and imac.. Now 4 weeks later and wont connect to wireless at all. Also cant be found on any of our devices. Have tried to reset, restore factory settings etc but nothing. Its like the thing doesn't exist.. Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks

I had the same problem. I tried the Express Lane and they couldn't help, so they sent me to the Apple Store. The Genius Bar checked it out and gave me a new Apple TV. Now it works. The one issue with setting up again was that I had to manually turn on sharing on the Apple TV (Settings/Computer).

Macbook will connect to wireless but not the internet

My Macbook will connect to my wireless but will not follow through and connect to the internet.
I have checked the wireless setup with my iPhone and the iPhone has no problems getting on the internet.
I have checked with Network Diagnostics and cannot get green lights on the last 2 issues.
I have checked firewall settings and even reduced the level of firewall, still no joy.
I have checked the hardware with the startup disk, all hardware is OK.
Short of a complete reinstall, what else can I do to get my Macbook back on the internet.

I've got a late spring 2009 macbook, time capsule networked with an airport express extending my network. My Iphone never loses it's connection to the network. My Macbook has been dropping daily from the network. The only solution I found was physically disconnecting the time capsule and modem and restarting. This worked but was getting annoying, so I rang Apple.
They told me to go to system preferences, network, location, edit locations, add a location which comes up untitled, then click on assist and keep pressing continue, select your network and enter password. I was told to monitor the situation, but this solution should help.
Tonight my macbook dropped off the network. I went through the above solution and it reconnected, I didn't have to disconnect any of my devices. It's not ideal, but I reckon apple will release an update soon that fixes this internet drop out, reckon an automator every time internet drops using their solution solves the problem...not that i've made one.

Firefox is showing "Server not found" when Fedora 14 NetworkManger is detecting ppp connection through wireless broadband modem

Hi,
I am using Wireless broadband modem. Network manager is detecting the modem and successfully acquring an ip through ppp0. But Firefox is showing "Server not found". I have found that /etc/resolv.conf is updated properly. And ping or nslookup on some url like www.google.com is working from terminal. So it seems either firefox is not able to use DNS or ppp connection. I have also tried by disabling eth or lo. But of no use.

See this thread: here.
However, please don't use 192.168.0.2 for the router but 192.168.137.2 instead. Home sharing uses 192.168.137.1 on the sharing computer instead of 192.168.0.1 as it was in earlier Windows versions.
To make the change, unplug the WRT from your network. Wire your second computer to a LAN port of the WRT.
Open the web interface at http://192.168.1.1/
On the main setup page, change the LAN IP address from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.137.2.
On the same page, disable the DHCP server.
Save settings.
Unplug the computer. Now wire one of the numbered LAN ports of the WRT to your home sharing computer.
That's it.

Macbook already connected to wireless but still can not use the internet as other Laptop can use.

I just changed my Condo. Now I cannot connect my macbook to the internet even I already connect the wireless.
For other computer can use the internet when they connected to that wireless, except my macbook.
Please help to reply me.

I second this statement. However, before you go you should check "apple menu > system preferences > network"
Is your Airport visible here? If so, click on it and look for the "show Airport in menubar" checkbox.

HT5569 i phone wont connect to wireless

iphone ipod and ipad wont connect to my wireless they have done but now wont,ive rang bt they tell me the hub is working fine. im now confused and not sure what to do?? please help

Unlug your router for a few seconds and plug it back in. That often fixes connection issues.

Randomly my macbook wont connect to the wifi in my apt except for one area. I have tried everything. Help?

My mac wont connect to the wifi in my apt. it will connect to other networks elsewhere just fine, however. All my other devices still connect anywhere in the apt. Help?

The apt is very small. But i ran istumble and it said the router was giving around 64% and it appears as though no one around is using the same channel as us. Either way, if other comps can pick up on the signal, why isnt mine all of a sudden?

New Macbook Pro. wont connect to wireless network once it has had a update

hi
bought a new macbook pro last week, when you first start it up it connects fine to a wireless network, but once the software update is compltete it says that there is an error trying to jion network. there is already a powerbook g4 connected to the network and a pc. i have re installed tiger and it can connect fine until the software update has restarted the mac and the same error is back again. do i re install it again and never update it or is there a simple way to correct the fault

My girlfriends New Macbook Pro is doing the same thing. I does connect to non-secure wireless connections such as at the airport but doesn't connect to her home wireless connection that is run by an SBC DSL 2WIRE gateway. I can connect fine on her old IBM laptop that I am on right now through this network wirelessly.
There has to be a fix for this?

MacBook trouble connecting to Wireless Network

I just purchased my MacBook and I am having trouble connecting to my wireless internet. My computer finds my router but when it prompts me for a password I put in the number at the bottom of my router and it says that "it cannot connect to the wireless internet". What can I change or do?

2Wire routers are VERY problematic with Macs.
A few people have gotten them to work.Many more,though,have not.
If you do a search for "2Wire Routers",you may find a workaround that suits you.
Personally,I would just pick up an "Airport Extreme" and be done with it.

HPC8180 Printer wont connect to wireless network, after firmware upgrade to Wireless Router

My HPC8180 has been connecting wirelessly since I bought it sometime ago. I recently had to upgrade the firmware on my Netcom NB9W wireless router and since then my HP wont resolve to the wireless network.
I run the Wireless Network wizzard on the printer, select the correct SSID and enter the WEP key as per instructions.
It then will not connect.
The summary I print out says it passes everything except:
No Filtering = Fail
Connected = Not Run
Signal Strength = Very Low (which is strange because it's about 10ft from Wireless Router).
Other networks detected matching your network name (SSID) = No
Summary says:
Network Name (SSID) altnet (correct)
IP Address = Not applicable
Configuration Source = Not applicable
Communication Mode = Infrastructure
Authentication Type = Open System
Encryption = 64-bit WEP
I have NOT turned on mac address filtering
Any ideas??
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Your router appears to be a DSL modem router. Those can be tricky to connect to. Also, WEP can be problematic and is no longer a good security measure. WEP can be broken in about 10 minutes with freeware from the internet.
Let's do three things:
1. Change to WPA or WPA2 encryption. You can make up your own password. Make it 13 or more characters, numbers and letters, upper and lower case.
2. Reset the Network Defaults in your printer (Setup > Network area).
3. Attach to the router in this way:
Sometimes DSL providers have more control over the router than the printer likes.
- Unplug the telephone line from the router
- Turn the power off on the router, wait 30 seconds, then turn the power back on.
- Go through the normal process of connecting the printer to the device (Wireless Setup WIzard)
- Now find the IP address of the printer (it should be on the self-test printout), type it into a browser.
- On that screen you will find a Networking Tab, then on the left Wireless, then the IPv4 Tab.
- On this screen you want to set a Manual IP. You need to set an IP address outside the range that the router automatically sets (called the DHCP range). If you know what that is, set an IP outside that range but no higher than 254 (the last number in the address).
- Use 255.255.255.0 for the subnet (unless you know it is different, if so, use that)
- Leave the gateway and DNS blank
- Finally, plug in the phone line, reboot the router and test.

MacBook automaticlly connects to wireless network, but not mine

At home when I start my MacBook, it sometimes connects to the neighbors wireless network (not protected at all) rather than to ours. It does that all by itself, without me doing anything. Can I tell my computer to only connect to our network, or at least to as for a confirm if it wants to connect somewhere else?

Hello Hans-Conrad Zur Loye. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
Try the following:
1. Delete Preferred Network(s)
o System Preferences > Network > AirPort > Configure
o In the "By default, join:" pull-down menu, select "Preferred networks"
o Delete the network(s) you regularly use from the list
2. Delete AirPort Keychain Entries
o Launch the "Keychain Access" application located in Applications/Utilties.
o Click on the "Kind" filter at the top, and look for any "AirPort network password" entries...and delete them.
o Restart, or log out then back in.
3. Add Preferred Network(s)
o System Preferences > Network > AirPort > Configure
o In the "By default, join:" pull-down menu, select "Preferred networks"
o Add the preferred network(s) using the "+" button.
o Restart or log out then back in.

Macbook not connecting to wireless internet anymore

I've read the previous posts and it seems like I am having a simliar problem as others. I am running OSX10.4.9... I'm not sure if it's been updated to that recently or not.
Anyway, my computer has connected with no problem to the internet for the past 8 months. Then it seemed that suddenly for the last 2 weeks it decides it isn't going to. It connects to the router just fine, but doesn't get IP address or anything, but the sometimes it does. It involves a lot of patience and turning on and off airport.
Like I said, this might be the same problem everyone else seems to be complaining about, but i'm not sure. Does anyone know how to fix this problem?
Thank You

I have this problem as well. We happen to have 2 macbooks from mid-2005 (one bought in October and one in December). The December one is fine.
I am assuming this is a hardware failure and tried to replace the "card" only to discover that the mid-2005 model has the airport built-in.
Does anyone know which would be the better move - having the board repaired or getting a USB 802.11g plugin ? If I get the plugin, is there anything I need to do to override the broken board ?
Thank you for any advice

HELP!!! MacBook wont print on wireless computer

New to Macs.
I have a Lexmark X7550 wireless printer that was set up on our wireless network and works fine with three other PCs. But I can't get the MacBook to print or find it when i go through System Preferences.
But I can see the printers name on Bonjour when I look at it through Safari?
I downloaded Bonjour for one of my PCs but it couldn't find it through Bonjour.

Hey NoName,
Folder with question mark, could be a few things. RAM, HDD, among others.
The best thing to try first is, when you turn it on, try inserting the MacBook dvd that came with it. Hopefully it takes it in. After you shut it down, try starting it up again while holding the "c" key. If it starts from there, try to repair permission from the disk... it is under Disk Utility.
If you get that far, great... We might have a chance.
Also, please let us know where you are located. If you are close to an Apple Store or authorized repair facility, take it in under warranty.
Good Luck and let us know what outcome you get.
Adam
