More bad wifi... with a myspace twist! any ideas?

i'm one of the gazillions of people with touchy wifi on my new macbook. i have pretty good luck on public/open wifi networks, but when using my home network, i experience lots of the same problems that other users have been reporting here...
side note: my intel mac mini and power pc ibook all connect fine, even after 10.4.10.
what is most strange about this is that i am completely unable to look up any myspace pages on my home network (when the connection is working!). i work with a lot of bands and need to be able to access their myspace pages, and any time i need to access a myspace page on my macbook, it gets stuck in page loading mode.
while it 'loads,' i can crack open my trusty iBook and get the page in seconds.
thanks in advance to anyone who might know anything!

I just purchased a brand new macbook a few weeks ago and I also experienced this issue with the wi-fi and with myspace.
I downloaded Firefox and it still has the same error page when I try to access myspace.
This issue doesn't occur all the time, just every now and again. I found that if you create another user account within your computer and use that account to surf myspace it will let you in. totally weird!

  • HT1695 I am visiting from the us and using my iPad using the wifi at my parents home just fine. Just brought one for my Mum and trying to set it up, it will not conect to wifi so cannot continue with set up. Any ideas ?

    I am visiting from the US and using my iPad at my parents house using their WiFi. We brought a new iPad for my Mum and am trying to set it up, I get to step 3 chooses a network and it will not connect to WiFi, the same WiFi that I am using with no problem. Any ideas .

    The first time you set up the iPad you must do it by connecting the iPad to a computer, which needs to be running the latest version of iTunes, using the provided USB cable that came with it.  It cannot be done wirelessly initially.

  • Oxc000007b problem with audition cc download-any ideas?

    Hi, had the same problem when downloading Lightroom 5 from the creative cloud desktop - dll package for lightroom solved the problem here.
    I am on Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit.
    (I uninstalled audition cc and installed it again with the same result)
    Thanks for your help
    Best Bee

    SteveG, thanks for the link again. I tried before to extract both (msvcr80.dll and msvcr100.dll)  to audition cc like I did with the lightroom 5 problem and I failed.
    This time I only extracted msvcr100.dll to audition cc and it worked!
    Thanks for your encouragement . . .
    Best, Bee

    Well it's those .dlls that are the only reason that I'm aware of for this failing. Can I suggest downloading and installing them again? I presume that it's the information in this thread that you are referring to?

    The problem is not the router.. the issue is the vpn has put your computer in a different IP range with a different gateway. When you turn off the vpn the computer returns to local lan and can print.
    Some vpn software allows you to set gateway to use local net instead of remote gateway or access to other webistes or local lan.
    Read up the issue.
    http://stevejenkins.com/blog/2010/01/using-the-local-default-gateway-with-a-wind ows-vpn-connection/
    Cisco vpn client..
    https://supportforums.cisco.com/thread/239113
    I did not search much.. just grabbed the first article I could find that explains the issue.
    The whole point of the vpn is whilst it is connected your computer is NOT part of the Local Lan .. it is part of the Remote LAN via the vpn tunnel.
    It is also a security risk using split tunnelling so often it will not be allowed.
    Plug the printer directly into the computer via usb or whatever.. Local connection will work.. not local lan.

    If you get a network timed out error, try disabling the security software on the computer during the download and install.
    You can also try a direct download andinstall by:

  • After updating iTunes to 11.0.1.12 and updating Apple TV to 5.1.1 my Apple TV is no longer picking up my photo library. It just keeps saying "loading library" but never brings the pictures up. This didn't happen with previous versions. Any ideas?

    After updating iTunes to 11.0.1.12 and updating Apple TV to 5.1.1 my Apple TV is no longer picking up my photo library. It just keeps saying "loading library" but never brings the pictures up. It also tells me that home sharing isn't on even though it is and then I have to turn it off and on on the PC so the Apple TV even recognizes the photo library. These issues didn't happen with previous versions. Any ideas?

    Update on my previous comment. I have solved my issue. Issue was with Windows 7 firewall not operating correctly. I was unable to add itunes to the 'Allow programs to communicate through windows firewall'. Found the following page useful http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-security/windows-fire wall-cant-change-some-of-your-settings/514d78fb-39e9-47b1-b561-bc49cbdad904
    Followed the instructions to the foot of the page, restarted PC, normal service resumed on windows firewall, added itunes to list to communicate through firewall. restarted itunes, restarted appletv, success!!!
    Hope this may help somone else.

    With the iPhone, you can sync all iTunes content with only one computer.  Trying to sync iTunes content with a second computer will result in iTunes erasing the content from the first computer.

  • TS3899 I just installed the latest software update on my iPhone this weekend (9/22/12), and now I can't get email. I've restarted and closed all my apps to no avail. I'm able to get email on my laptop, so it's not a problem with my provider. Any ideas?

    Originally we were getting the error that the phone could not connect. Then, after deleting the account multiple times and re-adding it again, the error message CHANGED to having to log in to Yahoo and authorize.
    When we went to Yahoo in a regular browser and logged in there was an alert telling us about connection attempts so it disabled mobile/iphone connectivity. It required that we change our password FIRST.
    Then, we went in to Manage Apps and Webpages and saw that iPhone was not there but Facebook was.
    After all of this went back to the phone and deleted then re-added the account again and SUCCESS!
    It now also shows up on the Yahoo Manage Apps and Webpages.
    Hope this helps someone else. Please consider giving me points if it does or like the post.

    Hi Mario,,,,
    I tried everything in your reply,,, thank you again,, I had done that once before and all was working great,,
    I have just now tried the Reinstall via iTunes, about 20 into the download, the iTunes logo on the phone disappeared, and the Apple Logo appeared again,,, I waited until the iTunes stated that the download had finished, and the install was in progress,,,
    Nothing happened, still the Apple Logo was visual on the screen, iTunes never recognised the phone which it was on my iTunes account previously,,,
    Still just a bunch of lines, maybe 5 or 6 so small writing,, I personally can not read what it is telling me, someone said it reads, incorrect shutdown,,,????????
    Please advise,???
    I am now at a loss,,, I really became excited when I saw the iTunes icon after putting the phone into restore,,,???
    Thank you again

    Hi ryanfromstockbridge,
    I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on exactly what you are seeing when you try to add the printer or print to the printer. If you continue to have issues printing to this wireless printer, you may find the information and troubleshooting steps outlined in the following articles helpful:
