My automatic hotspot does not seem to 'broadcast'

II'm using an iPhone 5s with firmware 8.1
tried full reset etc but the phone does not seem to broadcast my 'automatic hotspot' as a network to be connected to by appropriate devices.
if I flick the switch and manually turn on the wifi hotspot then it works perfectly well.
my wife has an identical iPhone and rather annoyingly hers works perfectly and our settings are identical, even connecting to the same iCloud account.
i Have tried renaming my phone and rebooting, a full on re set back to factory standard and then a restore using a backup and even erasing my network settings using the reset function. Nothing seems to fix this - am I on my own or are there other folk out there with the same problems?

PPretty blem solved: I logged the other iPhone out of the iCloud account and the. Logged it back in, my iPhone took over the automatic hotspotduties!

Home Hub 5 - does not seem to broadcast 2.4ghz ban...

Hi, I have Infinity with a HH5 and have been having wireless connection problems with certain devices (mobile, laptop WiFi radio). Following recommendations I have performed a factory reset and set both bands to now have separate SSID's. Nothing I have can see the 2.4ghz band (even my 5ghz devices which I assume are dual band). My Blackberry Curve 9360 is only 2.4ghz so cannot connect. I have manually entered the 2.4ghz settings into more than one device but that does not work either. I fired up a Home Hub 2 and that gets seen. Any ideas anyone??
Thanks in advance, Graham.

2.4GHz disappearing on HH5 has been onging for many users for some time:-

BT is (or should be) aware of the problem, so we just have to wait for a solution.

How do i run icloud when i have downloaded it onto my mac it does not seem to run automatically

While we all have MacBooks in this forum not all of us use iCloud. There's an iCloud Support Community where everybody uses iCloud. You should also post this question there to increase your chances of getting an answer. https://discussions.apple.com/community/icloud/icloud_on_my_mac

WET54G does not seem to make WRT300N signal better

Greetings,
A friend of mine is using a WRT300N, firmware v0.93.3, as his router for both wireless and wired connections. The signal does not reach the other side of his house for whatever reason. The router is less than 25 feet from the other side of the house but the signal does not reach, so he purchased a WET54G. I set it up for him, while it was hardwired to one of the computers, then I unplugged it and moved it about 15 feet or so away from the WRT300N and kept it wireless. It does not seem to make the signal any better at the other side of the house. I went into the WET54G's settings and performed the Site Survey, selected the WRT300N's SSID and everything seemed to connect just fine. Is there anything else to this? What else could I try to make this signal better? I feel that there is probably some obstacles in the way of the signal, like an electrical breaker room and an air conditioning unit, as well as some dry wall, but I didn't think that would make a big deal. Anyway, here is some pertinent information about the devices, maybe my settings are just not right. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Also any recommendations on antenna's would be appreciated as well. Thanks in advance.
WET54G:
SSID: home
Network Type: Infrastructure
Security is Enabled and set to WPA Pre-Shared, TKIP, same password as WRT300N
Device Ip: 192.168.0.109
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.0.10
Transmission Rate: Auto
Authentication Type: Open
Threshold: 2347
Frag Threshold: 2346
Cloning Mode: Disabled
WRT300N:
SSID:home
Network Mode: Mixed (Which N,B, & G)
Radio Band: Wide-40Mhz Channel
Wide channel: 3
Standard Channel: 5 - 2.432GHZ
SSID Broadcast: Enabled
Wireless Security: PSK Personal, TKIP, same pass as WET54G
Mac Filter is Disabled
Device Ip: 192.168.0.1
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Start Ip: 192.168.0.100
Maxium Number of Users: 10
Also, when I go to DHCP Reservation, which I am not using, I do not see the WET54G, but the desktop and the four labtops are listed.
All the settings on the WRT300N, under Advance Wireless Settings are all default.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I am a little confused by your post. Are you using the WET to receive a wireless connection from the WRT300N, or are you trying to use the WET to retransmit the wireless signal, and thereby increase your wireless range?   The WET is designed only to receive a signal, then pass it along an ethernet wire to the computer's ethernet port.
The WET54G is set to an improper fixed LAN IP address. Fixed (static) LAN IP addresses must be OUTSIDE the DHCP server range. Your DHCP server range is 192.168.0.100 thru 192.168.0.109.    I would suggest you set your WET to 192.168.0.226 (similar to its default), unless you have another device at that address. At least get it out of your DHCP server range.   Because 192.168.0.226 is automatically recognized as a fixed LAN IP address, you do not need to make a "DHCP Reservation" for it.    Additionally, the gateway on the WET should be the same as the WRT300N's address, 192.168.0.1
I'm not sure why you are getting such a poor wireless range. However, there is no reason to expect the WET54G to have any more range than an ordinary wireless g card, unless you have put a high gain antena on it, like the HGA7S.
Your WRT300N would be expected to have its best range if the computer that you were connecting to used a Linksys wireless N adapter.
Also, make sure your WRT300N is properly located. Try to minimize the obstructions between the router and computer. Make sure the router is placed in an open area, and several feet up off the floor.   Do not place it behind your computer monitor, or with other obstructions around it. The antennas should be verticle. I am not sure of how to position that square antenna - perhaps twisting it to the right or left might help.
Make sure the WRT300N has a unique SSID. Do not use "linksys". Do not use any SSID that your neighbors are using.
Poor wireless connections are often caused by radio interference from other 2.4 GHz devices. This includes wireless phones, wireless baby monitors, Bluetooth (including Bluetooth game controllers), microwave ovens, wireless mice and keyboards, and your neighbor's wireless network. Even some 5+ GHz phones also use the 2.4 Ghz band. Unplug these devices, and see if that corrects your problem.
In your router, try a different channel. There are 11 channels in the 2.4 GHz band. Usually channel 1, 6, or 11 works best. Check out your neighbors, and see what channel they are using. Because the channels overlap one another, try to stay at least +5 or -5 channels from your strongest neighbors. For example, if you have a strong neighbor on channel 9, try any channel 1 through 4.
Also, you might want to try separating your own channels. I see you are using 3 and 5.   Maybe further apart would help.
Hope this helps.

How do I delete documents from my iPad that were added when it ran regular Acrobat, now that it has switched to DC? The docs are not on the cloud, and DC does not seem to have a delete function for non-cloud docs.

I use an iPad. It automatically switched me from old-fashioned Acrobat to DC. How do I delete docs that were put on my iPad with the old Acrobat? They are not in the cloud, and DC does not seem to have a delete function for them.

Hi,
By default, Acrobat DC for iOS displays recently viewed files. You need to switch to other file location (such as Local, Document Cloud, Creative Cloud) to delete, rename, move, or duplicate files.
You can switch to Local, if you would like to see the files and folders that are locally stored on your iPad.
Would you take a look at the following document to see how you can switch to other file location and delete files?
How to manage files in Acrobat DC for iOS
Please let us know if you have additional questions. Thank you.

In large PDF files my cursor moves around the page at warp speed. It does not seem to make any difference if I slow it down with Sys Prefs. This is not only in preview but also other programs to open PDFs.

In large PDF files the cursor moves at warp speed with a mind of it's own, I've tried slowing it down in Sys Pref with no luck. On small files cursor action is normal. This happens in Safari, Preview and other programs that use PDF files. Sorry to say this does not seem to be a new problem with 7.# I've had it with prvevious versions of operating system Right now I'm using a Apple wireless mouse and key board. Using the USB keyboard and mouse the same problem does not go away.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you boot, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, reboot as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

IOS Sdk does not seem to download with Xcode. I am using Mac OS X Lion 10.7.3. Why not?

The IOS SDK does not seem to download with XCode. There is no IOS template in XCode. I am using
Mac OS X Lion 10.7.3 on a Mac mini. Do you have to pay $99 to get this?

Another similar one here. I've updated ios7 and usb tethering doesn't work. I use it at my office connecting to a XP machine. It connects, iphone asks me to 'trust' the computer (which I do) and the driver is installed. However the connection shows a status of 'LAN Cable disconnected'.
However the version of itunes on the machine is a versions back (I don't use itunes on that machine).
Because the usb tethering is a universal network driver connection then it should still work on any machine even if there is no itunes installed (i.e. as long as hotspot is enabled).
looking at other forums it appears this is very much ios7 related. Was working perfectly on ios6.

Bringing up interface eth0: e1000 device eth0 does not seem to be present, delaying initialization.

I performed a software reboot on the MSE3310. After the reboot the MSE was no longer visible on the network. I went and consoled into the device and it was operational. I ran the msed stop and msed start commands. I got this message when it tried to load eth0
Bringing up interface eth0: e1000 device eth0 does not seem to be present, delaying initialization.
[FAILED]
Earlier in the day I had updgraded the firmware from 6.0 to 7.0.230.0.
Can I recover the eth0? Is this related to the firmware upgrade?
Thanks.
Jason

Tarik,
This procedure worked great! After adding the HWADDR parameter to the eth0 config file and rebooting the server, we are now able to access the server on the network again. Thank you very much for the quick reply!
Here is the procedure if others need this.
ifconfig -a showed the eth0 interface was renamed to _tmp462132856
[root@MSE-CPW-01 ~]# ifconfig -a
__tmp462132856 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:15:17:F1:4D:C7
          BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
          RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
          RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b)
          Interrupt:169 Memory:e8180000-e81a0000
eth1      Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:15:17:F1:4D:C8
          BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
          RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
          RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b)
Then issued
vi /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
to edit the file and add the HWADDR=xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
Then issued a 'shutdown -r now' to reboot the server
After a reboot, network connectivity was restored!
Thanks!

Automatic update does not work

On my both computers (Windows 7, Window 8), the automatic update does not work at all, although it is activated in the options. All I get in the Firefox info box is that an update is available, with a link that I have to follow to download the installation file and install it manually. No difference even if I wait for weeks, the update is neither downloaded nor installed automatically. The problem persists in all Firefox versions since version 3.6.16 / 2011 (the last update in the chronicle). Note that the automatic update seems to perform well in the Windows XP mode of my Windows 7 system !

It will update eventually; there may have been availability problems on the update servers.

ImageObserver's imageUpdate does not seem to be called

Hi, I'm new to using BufferedImages and Graphics2D, and I have a problem with the ImageObserver.
To my knowledge, one of the ways to draw an animated gif is as such:
g.drawImage( bufferedimage, x, y, imageobserver );
I'm using a JPanel as the image observer, however it does not seem to animate. The image itself just shows the first frame. Was I mistaken or is imageUpdate supposed to be called automatically/implicitly? It doesn't seem to call.
Thanks.

I don't think that any of the drawing methods in Java will animate gifs. Everything I've ever read says it will do what you are seeing, that is the first frame is displayed but not subsequent ones. You'll need to read each frame from the gif file and animate them yourself.
Edit:
nevermind, I didn't realize there actually was some support for animating gifs. Here's the first hit from google on your problem:

I have a late 2012 iMac running osx 10.8.5. I keep losing access to my internal hard drive. I can reboot and regain access and it will last for a few minutes or hours. Disk utility does not seems to help.

I have a late 2012 iMac with an I5 precessor running OSX 10.8.5 and a 1tb internal hard drive. I keep losing access to the internal hard drive/startup disk.
I can reboot and everything operates as normal for a few minutes or hours but then I lose all access again to anything on the hard drive. The computer is still up and running but no files can be accessed and certain websites cannot be acessed even though internet access appears to be normal. Disk utility can only find permission errors related to iTunes which can be repaired only to come back at the next scan (I would not think permission errors would have anything to do with the hard drive crashing). It does not seem to matter what program I am using at the time access is lost and it can lose access sometimes right after reboot when no program is running.

You will need to boot into the Recovery Volume (command - R on a restart or hold down the option/alt key during restart and select it) to run Disk Utility/Disk Repair.

I've run diagnostics. Can't find device. I've tried resetting. The toggle has been turned on and off.

Cable works fine on my other iPod. Reset by pressing menu and center button together for 6-10 seconds. Left it to charge for many hours. Started acting up while running. Suddenly the music stopped playing but my Nike + was still working for the rest of my run. Took it straight it home and plugged it in to the wall to recharge since the battery was fairly low. Looked like it recharged ok but then screen went blank and now does it not show up on iTunes, does not seem to recharge by the wall charger (apple wall charger plugged into a surge protector in India). I have turned the hold switch off and on many times.
Sounds like a repair issue, which is not easy to do in India :(

You need to connect your iPod to iTunes on a computer and update from there.
Before updating, I recommend that you create a backup first, using : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
Please note that iPod 3d generation only goes up to iOS 5.1.1
To update the iPod, use: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4623
scroll down to the part that's about updating with iTunes.
Good luck

I had upgraded to FF 4.0.1 a while ago. Last night I got a bubble telling me that FF 4.1.0 was available and I should download and install. This version does not seem to exist. What is this about?

I had installed FF 4.0.1 and have been using it for a while. I am running Win XP Pro, SP2. Last night a messge came up informing me that FF 4.1 was now available and that it would be advisable to download and install it. I did this and everything seemed to work fine but when I look at the 'About Firefox' info under 'Help' it still tells me that I am running 4.0.1. Everything still seems to be functioning well but this disturbs me as it does not seem to have been a FF message. Can you please tell me if such a message was sent out, and if so, why, seeing as the version does not seem to have changed?

To ensure that no malicious software has been installed, try running several malware scanners. It is best to run several as each will pick up things that the others miss. Some scanners you can try are:
* Malwarebytes - http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php
* SuperAntiSpyware - http://www.superantispyware.com
* Ad-Aware - http://www.lavasoft.com/products/ad_aware_free.php
