Hi,
I am having the same issue listed above on my new Mac Mini i just bought, I also contacted Express VPN support and got the same instructions with exception of the command to run in the utilities terminal.  I tried the steps listed, and both commands (posted here, and sent to me directly by Express VPN support), and still unable to connect on my Mac Mini running OS X 10.8.2, but I am able to connect on my iPad and my MacBook which is running Mac OS X 10.6.8.  Usually Express VPN is spot on with their customer support, but this is taking longer to get resolved.  Here is the steps sent to me
Try doing the following to see if the problem gets resolved:
Please follow the instructions here: https://www.expressvpn.org/support/setting_dns_servers_mac_os
(should still be the same for Lion) and then add the following DNS servers: 8.8.8.8 & 208.67.222.220. After adding the DNS servers, please do the following steps as well:
Note: If you're connecting to your ISP via a PPPoE connection, then set the DNS servers on the PPPoE connection itself and then restart your computer for the DNS settings to take effect.
1. Click on Applications
2. Click on Utilities
3. Click on Terminal
4. Type the following command (without the quotes): "sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder"
5. Press enter and then try reconnecting to the VPN.
If you're still unable to connect, please send us in the latest log files.
Hope this helps. Let us know how it goes.

  • Ever since I installed Lion, I have not been able to print wirelessly

    Ever since I installed Lion, I have not been able to print to my Brother MFC-7840W. It shows in System Preferences, and says "Ready", but when I try to print I get a "cannot connect to device" message. Also in the printer utility it says bonjour malfunction. I have installed the most current drivers as well. Also, all other computers (PC's) on the wireless network are not having any problems printing! Help! I hate it when the household PC lovers mock me!

    The Bonjour Multifunction entry under Kind simply indicates that both the printer and scanner queues will be created for the single queue, the same that happens when the device is connected to the Mac via USB. I see the same thing with some Canon AIO's and it doesn't stop the Mac from printing.
    With you mentioning that a direct connection also fails, then it suggests that there is an issue with the driver or the printing system. A reset of the printing system is a good starting point. This will require you to create the queue again, but not install the printer drivers. And try it first with the USB connected printer before trying it on the network.
    If the direct connection still fails after the reset then the drivers could be a cause. Other Brother owners mentioned having problems with printing after a recent Brother update. From memory they found they had to get a CUPS driver from the Brother web site to resolve the symptom.

  • I dropped my iphone 4s and it won't turn back on. Recently my lock button randomly went out and will not work. I've tried connecting it to the wall charger and also in to computer and that's not working. Please Help.

    I can't restart my phone due to my lock button being broken. This has happened to me before and i just restarted it but now i can't.

    It's broken due to neglect, namely being dropped.  Replace it.

  • Magic Mouse will not pair (OS X Yosemite version 10.10.1)

    All of a sudden my Magic Mouse will not pair. Very annoying!
    I have changed the batteries, several times, so the light is on on the Magic Mouse.
    I have opened System Preference/Bluetooth. I can see that it is searching for devices but it is not connecting to the Magic Mouse.
    I currently have a Apple Wireless Keyboard and have paired an Ultrathin Touch Mouse in the interim, but I want my Magic Mouse back.
    Can someone please help (in a language that I can understand) with this issue.
    Thank you so much.
    Cheers

    Try a PRAM and SMC reset of your Mac.

  • HP Envy 4500 wireless will not print without USB cable

    My HP Envy 4500 wireless printer/scan/copier does not seem to be able to work without the USB cable.  I followed the instructions provided to change for USB to wireless but it will not work without.  I have uninstalled and reinstalled the software.  I have windows 7 on my laptop and an IPod both of which show that the printer is showing.  I made it the default printer.   The first time I tried to do it (without the USB cord) I was unable to get passed putting in my wireless password which starts with a capital K and wasn't certain how to make a capital so reread instructions and used the USB but really want to use it wireless.  Any suggestions.  I turned the firewall off this morning to try but to no avail.  If I do need to turn the firewall off would I then put it back on if it gets working?  I would so appreciate any suggestions!

    @Chaitaishanwelcome to the community,
    I understand you're having some difficulties when trying to set your Envy 4500 up on your wireless network. I have looked around and found this guide for you to try out. If you run into any error messages, codes, issues, etc, please let me know the specific details and I will continue to research if need be.

  • Satellite L655-S5060 mouse will not scroll

    Just had to have a new hard drive installed and now the touchpad mouse will not scroll.  I don't see anything in the mouse properties to "turn it on".  I have tried updating driver and it says it is up to date.  Windows 7.  Thanks in advance!
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Were these the drivers you tried updating?

    You could also try going into the "Advanced" tab of "Mouse Properties," clicking "Advanced feature settings..." and then restoring defaults. I agree that there doesn't seem to be anything about the normal scrolling, but maybe something is interfering.
    If you can't solve your issue and no one in the community can help, you can try contacting support to speak with a tech support agent at (800) 457-7777.

  • When dragging and dropping files in Lion Apple Magic Mouse will not "let go" of file even after button is released

    When selecting file or drive icon or text, the mouse will not release the item.  Pressing esc will release item but only back to original location.

    I presume drag lock isn't checked in System Preferences, but it sounds like maybe it's been set elsewhere, like by a corrupt prefs file? Can some OS X guru provide a Terminal command to disable drag lock just to be sure?
    I have a problem, also on a new MBP 2010 i7 /10.6.4, that isn't the same but might be related. The time required for the system to "release" an item selected by the pointer is exceptionally long. And if I try to click elsewhere before the pointer has been released, it only serves to extend the time. It's annoying and reduces productivity.
    Speed settings in Sys Prefs has no effect, and no other hardware is attached, using just the trackpad.
    I hope there's a setting that can be changed via Terminal; can anyone suggest the right terminology for the parameter(s) that need to change?

  • Magic mouse will not scroll horizontally

    Has it previously scrolled horizontally?   Is the fault restricted to certain browsers or program facilities?   What machine are you using it on?    Has this problem appeared following an OS upgrade.

  • 10.10.1 magic mouse will not scroll now

    10.10.1 magic mouse will not scroll now
    anyone else having this problem
    mouse works... is recognized but the preference pane
    has not swipe selection and i cannot turn off bluetooth

    To resolve this issue try the following:
    from the upper left corner of your screen click:
    1.  / system preferences / bluetooth
    2. Locate your mouse under the devices panel
    3. Remove your mouse
    Click on it so it is highlighted in blue
    Click in the blue "x" or you can click delete after you have selected your mouse.
    4. Reconnect your mouse (re "pair" ) your mouse
    This should resolve the scrolling issue if it occurred after the 10.10.1 update.

  • Targus bluetooth mouse will not connect in bootcamp

    I have a Targus blueetooth mouse that will not connect in bootcamp. It has worked fine for a long time in XP and 7. Then I upgraded the haddrive and had to do a lean install of Windows 7 and the Apple bootcamp 5. Now it will not connect at all. I have the "Apple Broadcom Built-in Bluetooth" seleted , it sees the mouse but it tries to connect and just stalls. This is very frustrating since without the mouse it is nearly impossible to troubleshoot Windows.

    Bluetooth mouse will not connect my wireless mouse...
    what works +every time+ for me :
    use your fingers to move the cursor up to the bluetooth icon (top right of display)
    click bluetooth icon, select user mouse / connect
    then quickly move the cursor up (with fingers) so it touches or is very close to the bluetooth icon
    and start clicking with your mouse (making sure the mouse is on obviously).
    I have NO idea why but this works on my MacBookPro everytime. If I try to connect without moving the cursor near the BT icon it won't connect (or takes at least 10 trys).

  • What am I doing to make my screen zoom in while I  am using my mouse?  It zooms to about double size, and using the control key and mouse will not return it to its former size.

    When I am searching the internet and using my mouse, my screen will suddenly zoom in to about double size.  Clicking control and mousing will not return it back to where it was.  I have no idea what I am doing to cause this to happen or how to reverse it.

    Hi.
    If you're using a Magic Mouse, a double tap on the mouse with one finger will zoom.
    Double tap again to unzoom.
    Helpful?
