IiMac won't connect to the wifi anymore. All other devices still work with wifi any suggestions?
Try the basics first:
Change your router channel number. Most times this works & is all you have to do.
Disconnect & reconnect your modem. unplug it for about 10 seconds. Plug it back in. Do the same for Apple’s routers. Wait for everything to reboot.
System Preferences>Network
Click the Assist Me button.
In the next window that pops up, click the Diagnostic button & do the necessary.

Cannot connect to the internet it has been connected to for a year.
Monday my Apple TV worked fine. Yesterday, it wouldn't connect to the WiFi it had been connected to for a year. I tried to hardwire it to the apple extreme and it slowed my network down to a snails pace. I bought a new Apple TV last night and it worked fine all night. Now, after being in sleep mode, same issue. Cannot connect to the network.
Hi Jeff,
Thanks for the suggestion, but I tried that page and there was nothing on it that solved my issue. I ended up calling Apple Support for help and was advised there have been issues with the latest update of Apple TV. The strange thing was that after I had it unplugged for a few days, I plugged it in while on the phone with support and it worked again. The rep gave me his email/phone and asked me to call him back if I have the issue again. Apple is aware of the issue.
Happy to have my Apple TV back.

My MacBook Pro Retina stopped connecting to my wifi. But all my other devices still work on the wifi. I can connect to wifi on the MacBook through my personal hotspot on my iPhone 4S. I have not changed any settings on my wifi network, and I have not changed any wifi settings on my MacBook. Please help!
Care to share which OS you are using?

Suddenly my ipad is unable to connect to our wifi. It buffers all the time?
All other devices are working normally. Is this a fault wityh my ipad or have I inadvertantly altered some setting?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.

Trying to open Premiere elements 12 for the first time even though I had it loaded for a while. It gives me a message that I need to be connected to the internet (which I am) or that my clock is off (it is correct). Any suggestions?
First we need to check , whether the LAN settings is set to detect settings Automatically or not.
Follow below steps .
1)Open Control Panel and then click on the option "Network and Internet" .
2)Click on Internet options, click on 'Connections' tab.
3)In the 'Connections' tab, select 'LAN' settings, you will be able to view the Local area network settings box.
4)Check the box-"Automatically Detect Settings" and then "uncheck" all the other check boxes like 'Use automatic configuration script', 'Use a proxy server' , Bypass proxy server' ,then click on ok button .
5)Click on "LAN settings" button again , make sure "Automatically Detect Settings" is the only option selected, keep the LAN properties window open.
Then launch Premiere Elements 12 and try to sign in.
If the settings were already set like that or you face same issue after signing in , let me know -
CS4 "The connection to the remote host has been lost"
Suddenly I get the error message (CS4) when I try connecting to remote hosts: "The connection to the remote host has been lost. Click Refresh to reconnect." It is impossible to connect to ANY remote host.
This happens for all my sites, on remote servers in different countries, so it must be a DW problem. Please advice.Have you tried using Passive mode:
Site Definition > Advanced > click the Passive FTP box and see if that works.

Hi Grandmaz5,
If you are having issues connecting to Facebook on your iPad, and you have already troubleshot the Facebook app itself, you may want to check the built-in iOS settings for Facebook; you may find the following article helpful:

Hi, the App Store icon has been removed from my iPad even after synching and updating. Any suggestions on how to get it back to be able to update / purchase apps?
If you do not have, or remember, the passcode for Restrictions, the only option available to you is to reset the device to factory settings via itunes.

I cannot record anything on iPod shuffle. Why? I do not recognise any of the windows shown in the various manuals about shuffle. Why? Currently an Orange light is blinking on the shuffle, and has been doing so for hours. Why?
I finally stumbled across a fix for this problem, and in case someone else is frustrated at some point by a similar issue I'm posting what finally worked to enable me to bring iTunes up at any time (without rebooting first).
The solution was to go to the preferences to uncheck "search for shared libraries".
I'm glad the problem is fixed, but Apple developers really should include a timeout function on iTunes search for a shared libraries. At least a visual dialog to confirm that the application is in the process of searching for a shared library on the network would help provide clues as to what is causing the spinning beach ball to appear right about the time the application window should pop up. -
Has the easily scratchable backing on the iphone 5 has been sorted out for the 5S?
Does anyone know if the scratchgate issue has been sorted out for the 5S? Im thinking of getting the black one. Also the Apple site doesnt really give a good feel of what the leather cases will look like - anyone know any better sites?
What other issues with the iphone5 were there that should have been taken care of in 5S? over heating, battery, etc
Also,
I have an iphone 4 - I havent updated the ios software since version 5 I think. If I back up my phone and when the new 5S comes out I restore it onto that will it mess up my contacts, messages, apps etc? Or is there an easier way to transfer the settings and everything as it is on my current phone to the new 5S? Since its a nee OS I wondered whether the apps may end up in different folders etc.
Thanks guys.No one here has gotten their hands on a 5S or 5C as they have not been released yet.

I received notice about a new cover art requirement (1400x1400 pixels) but can't find a way to change my existing art. My podcast has been updating flawlessly for several years, so I'd hate to have to remove the feed and start over.
Please note - this was not a personalized email - Apple is sending this out to ALL podcasts that are listed on iTunes.
If you are hosting with Libsyn or most any other "Podcast" host you should be ok.
http://blog.libsyn.com/libsyn-servers-are-byte-range-enabled-and-100-compliant-w ith-i-tunes-requirements
If you are on a self hosted site or worse yet using some file storage service like Dropbox - then you are going to have issues.
Again - this leter from Apple does not mean anything is wrong wth your show specifically - it is a generic letter going out to all podcasters.

In the icloud settings, I am told I need to accept the terms and conditions to use icloud. However, when I click on "Terms and conditions", I get a message "unable to connect to server". This has been happening for a week now since I upgraded to iOS 7.06. There is no problem with my wifi or cellular connectivity, all other applications work perfectly. P.S.I have never used icloud before, but wish to do so now. How do I overcome this problem?
Have you turned the iPad off then back on? That often helps with problems.
