MIFI 4G - Having a hard time connecting to Internet
We have a home computer (desktop) and a laptop. We originally had MIFI 2200. Before we had the MIFI220 we had to make our home computer wireless which worked fine at first then after 2 years it became slow. We figured by getting the 4G it would be much quicker which it is for the laptop, but not for the home computer. Its now taking longer to connect to the Internet and once we do get a web page after a couple of minutes it just disconnect from Internet. Any advice would be appreciated.
Slowness is normally an issue best solved by resetting your MiFi. However, you mention that your laptop does not have slowness issues with the MiFi which leads me to think that the problem is more isolated to something on your desktop. Your desktop may have accumulated viruses and clutter over the years which have slowly deteriorated its performance. I suggest starting with a reload of your desktop from the CD's and starting fresh.
If you do not wish to go down that path then you can try some lowering your wireless mode to help with the disconnections:
Change the 802.11/Wireless Mode
Sign into your MiFi
Click the Wi-Fi tab
Change the 802.11 mode from B+G+N to B+G
Click Apply
Test your connection

I have a PC DVR Net card and having a hard time connecting to the media server from my friends computer.I have read everything I can about port forwarding and I believe everything is right but I can't connect to my Web Cam server from another location. I do have it working on my Lan but when I go to a friends computer I can download the Web Cam fine but when I try to start the server it say's can't connect.My router is a WRT54G Version 3. I forward the Ports to the ports I was suppose to and I even made the computer a static Ip on it and everything seem's to work but I can't get into the server from another PC outside of my connection. My windows XP firewall is turned off and I even turned off the firewall on the router but still no luck. I hooked my connection up right to the computer bypassing the router and I was able to connect to my camera server from my friends computer with no problem so I know it's the router itself causing the problem..I used this one program to check and see if the ports were open and it said they were so I'm lost at this point. Any suggestions I would appreciate it very much.
Thank'sReset the router for few seconds ...
Disable all the firewall on the computer ...
Check the IOp ... if getting Ip - 192.168.1.X .... try to ping the Ip .... If getting replies ... try going online
If not gettting Ip -- assign static Ip ... repeat the step ...
Still no luck ..possible the router is gone bad .... -
I am having a hard time connecting to the Internet with my iPad
All of a sudden my iPad no longer connects to my network on wifi. It has worked just fine for a long time and a second iPad works just fine. Need some help trouble shooting.
Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
• Launch Settings app
• Tap on Wi-Fi
• Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
• In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.

If any of the above solutions work, please post back what solved your problem. It will help others with the same problem.

I'm trying to get on the internet and it is saying unable to connect to your server any ideas what I have to do to get on the internet I know the ethernet cable is OK.
Disconnect the ethernet cable from your mac,
disconnect the modem and the router from the power,
wait for at least 30 seconds,
connect the power to the modem, wait for at least thirty seconds,
connect the power to the D-Link, wait for at least thirty seconds,
connect the ethernet cable to the mac. -

I am using OS X 10.8.5 but I'm having a hard time downloading Mavericks.
It keeps on showing that there is an error downloading.
Can someone can help me?Some have managed to resolve the problem by cancelling the download, logging out of their App Store account and then logging back in again and starting over. The same approach also sometimes works for a stalled download:
http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2013/10/mavericks-issues-and-fixes/#slideid-23477 1
Also, if you are connected via wifi, try connecting via ethernet cable if you are able to. It's a 5.3gb download and it seems the more reliable the connection is, the better. -
I am having a hard time downloading an app
I am having a hard time downloading Youtube, I deleted and then I tapped on the cloud button to download again, and I am connected to wifi. How do I know it isn't downloading the pop up where it shows your email/iCloud account and asks for your password doesn't show up, which then shows downloaded not completed
Reset the device then try again.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
You will have to re enter your Wi-Fi password.
No data is lost due to a reset. -
I have lost my iCal data and am having a hard time retrieving it from Time Capsule. I am using Mountain Lion OS om iMac. Can anyone help?
You cannot see it because it is hidden.. one of those great things apple does.. if it is hidden in your Mac then it will be hidden in the Time Machine Backup.
You will need to restore the entire folder to a different location.. and unhide it.
There is some info here about restoring particular files or folders.
http://pondini.org/TM/16.html
And some info from Lion which should also relate to Mountain Lion.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3231381?start=0&tstart=0
There is stuff about recovery near the end.
One wonders sometimes when Apple make these decisions if they ever think about what happens when something goes wrong. Hiding files..??? -
Having a hard time signing into websites with Safari
Hi, I'm having a hard time signing in my username and password for e-mail addresses I use and for message boards as well. I use Safari all the time accept for my school website that requires IE. Anyways, I use Comcast and I have been trying to sign into my e-mail address name and everyime I click "sign in mail" Safari says "Safari Can't Open Page". So then, I went to my AIM mail to sign in there and then it said the same thing. Then I went to this Apple Forum to ask if anyone knows what the problem is, and then when I went to sign into here, the same thing. So right now I am using Camino, but can anyone help me with this problem or is anyone having the same problem as me? Thanks.
I too have been having a problem of logging into certain websites with a username and password. Instead of logging in successfully with Safari, a blank page or an error would occur.
This happened for: citibank, comcast, sprint, and miscellaneous other sites.
This problem apparently had something to do with my cookies since erasing my cookies seemed to solve the problem. Here's how to do it:
Safari -> Preferences...-> Security -> Show Cookies -> Remove All.

It is simple......

I'm having a hard time with Adobe CS6 synching up with my soundcard. Latency settings and other applications are challenging at this time. I had 3.0, but my Windows 7 computer is now "deceased". Please help.
I endorse everything that Steve just said but to try and get you going while you're shopping for an audio interface more suitable for sound work than use as a doorstop, try the following:
Go to the Windows sound control panel and make sure the SB card is selected as the default on both the Recording and Playback tabs. On the advanced menu for both, set the bit depth and sample rate to either 16/44,100 (CD) or 16/48,000 (Video) depending what suits you best. Note that your SB card only works natively at 16/48,000 so anything else involves a conversion that the card hides from you.
Go to the Windows Control panel and, under the sound section, turn off all system sounds (since they can hijack your sound card). Close every other application that may want to use the sound card (internet for example).
In Audition, go to Edit/Preferences/Audio Hardware. Set the device class to MME. On the drop down menus set the Default Input and Default Output to be your Soundblaster. On the Master Clock set it for the SB Output (this'll likely be default). Set the latency at around 200ms (you may need to increase this later if your playback stutters--or you can try decreasing it until you get stutter, then take it back up a bit. Set the sample rate to whatever you selected on the Windows Sound Control Panel.
The Soundblaster will likely have installed it's own control menu. Go to this and select Mic or Line as appropriate for the input and whatever you need for the output. I can't be more specific as SB keep changing what they call things.
Hopefully this'll get you going even if it's not the best compromise for quality and latency. -

I am having a hard time with my fcp x running so slow. i can't even move my mouse without the time wheel coming on and staying up for at least 20 some seconds. I have upgraded my ram to 12 and changed all my files to proxy files; also i cleaned the crap out of my computer removing all other media files I didn't need and it is still running the same. Please help! I have a deadline on my short film to be submitted and I can't finish it like this. Oh also it ran fine in the beginning but and one day it just started doing this out of no where. Anything will help! Thanks
In addition have you got FileVault switched on as that will kill performance.

I authorized a second computer on my iTunes account and tried to get my first computer's library on my second computer via the Cloud. Many of the songs only partially downloaded, and I am having a hard time getting rid of the library with the partial downloads (so I can get full songs). I am considering nuking the current iTunes on the second computer and re-installing, giving myself a clean slate to work with. Is this the right way to go?
