My MBA 2012 had it's display changed now the wifi reaches about 15 ft before there is a severe drop off in speed

About two weeks ago my 2012 MBA has a thin strip of Plastic hanging from the display so we brought it into the Mac store to have it fixed.   Once the computer was brought home the wifi no longer could be used in the kitchen (the router is in the living room about 30 ft away).  
The mac store to their credit tried a lengthy series of diagnostics, but nothing worked.   They will not however speak about the hardware replacement of the wifi antenna in the display.   I am now the proud owner of a shiney new Broadcom 802.11ac antenna.  
Each time I go back to the mac store (4th time now) they claim environmental issues or firmware upgrades to my TC.   However there is only other network in range that is using 5Ghz and their channel is different.   Also we brought it into my wife's office and the same exact issue happened moving away from her office's router, whereas her work MBP worked fine next to it.   Additonally, I don't allow for automatic update so I would now if the TC had an uppate.
When the MBA is next to my router it produces 31 down/5 up.   When it is in the kitchen: .05 down/.1 up   A very similar drop off happens in the office.
Has anyone else experienced the drop off?   Does anyone have a solution, it is driving me bonkers since we can't use the computer in the room we primarily hang out in.  

We got a new display and they replaces some wiring attached tot he anttena and the problem has been fixed. 
Thanks

    Hi,
    i have set up a small test case on apex.oracle.com and I receive the same error if I use download format.
    I have a table
    test_blob (id number, name varchar2(10), blobcont blob)
    If I create IR like
      select
        id,
        name,
        blobcont
      from test_bloband then I define download format I hit the error.
    If you want this to work you have to change your query to
      select
        id,
        name,
        dbms_lob.getlength(blobcont) blobcont
      from test_blobAnd then again define download format for blob on blobcont column.

  • The number of display columns in the report reached the limit" Interactive Report

    I get the error message of "The number of display columns in the report reached the limit" when trying to display less than 100 (100 is limit) columns when an aggregate has been created.   This does not happen when an aggregate has not been added to the IR report.  It seems to happen because I have a control break on as well.  When I turn off the control break it works but is not the result that we want.  Interesting enough, if I filter the results down to 500 rows it works just fine.  Does oracle treat aggregates as columns!?  This is a really odd issue that I really need to clear up.

  • After upgrading to Yosemite, I had to upgrade my iPhoto, now the full res versions of my images cannot be found.

    After upgrading to Yosemite, I had to upgrade my iPhoto, now the full res versions of my images cannot be found.  I had created a book to print (before upgrade) but, after the upgrade the book can't be created as I get the message that images can't be found. However, if I search for the filename I can find the image. I tried repairing library as per support instructions but it hasn't helped. Any advice gratefully received. Thanks.

    Do the following:
    1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down to open the First Aid window. Be sure to follow the circled recommendation in the screenshot.
    2 - apply Option #4, Rebuild Database.

  • Connecting MBA 2012 to three External Displays

    I am looking to purchase a 2012 MBA, contingent upon connecting to three external displays. As the MBA 2012 has a USB3.0 and a Thunderbolt port,  I plan to use  -
    - A Plugable UGA-2K-A USB 2.0 adapter to convert the USB3.0 to a HDMI/DVI input on a 21 monitor (For text only)
    - Use a DualHead2Go Digital SE to connect it from the Thunderbolt port to the HDMI/DVI inputs of the two external monitors (run two different applications and not a stretched image)
    I am wondering if this would work (albeit with minimal lag) or if are there any other alternatives to hooking it up to three external monitors.  Thanks

  • I downloaded the latest update on my MacBook Pro. Now I keep getting a pop-up that iCloud wants my password from an email login I haven't had in a year. Now the calendar won't sync with my iPhone5.

    I downloaded the latest update on my MacBook Pro last week. Now I keep getting a pop-up that iCloud wants my password from an email login I haven't had in a year. I can't find where to delete that email login.  iCloud is also showing my new email login, plus a bogus one I accidentally created trying to fix this problem. Now the calendar on my MacBook Pro won't sync with my iPhone5.

    It sounds like you have the Find my iphone Activation lock for sure. Go to www.icloud.com/find and see if you put in that Apple ID that is coming up and yoru password to see if you are able to sign into the account that way to turn it off. If you are unable to, you will have to contact AppleCare by phone (chat cannot handle account lock outs or forgotten password due to not being able to verify your identity) and see if they can reset it. And are you sure the Apple ID that is coming up yours?

  • I use an iPod nano 5th generation. I have had it for 2 years now and then after about a year when I plugged in my iPod to my computer, the iPod is read but the tab where I would always go that showed my list of artists to sync to my iPod does not show up

         I use an iPod nano 5th generation. I have had it for about two years now and after about one year, I plugged in my iPod into my computer to sync more music. Here is the problem: The tab where you go to sync music to your iPod and shows the list of artists and songs you want to sync to the iPod, the tab I can get to but the list of songs and artists does not show up and the only way I can sync music to my iPod is to basically wipe my iPod and start from scratch. Obviously, I do not want to do that because I do not have all the songs in my library that I have on my iPod. I have uninstalled iTunes and then re-installed it, but it did not work and I do not know what else to do. I would really appreciate helpful guidance to get it fixed if it can be fixed. Thanks in advance

  • How do I color coordinate my husband's calendar entries with mine on the iPhone 4S.  We have synced our calendars and we each had our own color but now the colors are the same.

    Sorry - not sure how to ask a question - or start a discussion.  See my question above.

    When you say "use the same purchasing apple ID for both to share books/music apps"- will this allow him to see what apps I download on his ipod (don't want)? will this allow me to continue to see what apps/games he gets on his ipod, on my phone (do want)? and do I set those changes on both devices?
    To do this:
    iPhone: Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Automatic Downloads:
         Music: ON
         Apps: ON
         Books: ON
    iPod: Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Automatic Downloads:
         now you decide what he gets automatically.
    He doesn't use game center, imessage, facetime or anything else (mainly just games, music and picture taking)- so does he really need his own apple id and email address? also- if he wants to start getting text messages, would i still have access to all of them if he has his own apple id? would i have access to them if he stays on my apple id?
    Then he doesn't need an Apple ID.

  • I have a dv4-2180us and I want to change out the wifi card for one w/ bluetooth and 5G

    Product name dv4-2180US. My wifi card is intel wifi link 1000 BGB, and I'd like to switch it out to an intel 6230 that has both. Is it possible to modify the BIOS? I have upgraded my BIOS to the most recent 55454 hoping that would correct the problems with the keyboard...which it has not...but I'm far more interested in making full use of my network., Thanks.

    I can tell you that you need to make sure the form factor is the same on the new as the existing one.
    The bios really has no bearing on it. Its hardware thats compatible with hardware.
    Parts like that are not readily available to swap from machine to machine. There are standards for which the card interfaces to the machine and thats why I mentioned the form factor of the card.
    Physical dimensions are also to be noted, as some cards are larger than others with the same form factor.
    You really have to do your homework and research to see what will work.
    Your machine may already have a slot availble for a bluetooth board, or fingerprint reader as those are both viable options.
    You are not likely going to get bluetooth and wireless n on the same card anyways. I would suggest looking for a dual band wireless n card and seeing if you have another slot to put a blutooth module into.
    Another option is to get a type 2 cardslot module and just insert it when you need it. If your machine has this type of external cardslot it may be your cheapest option.

  • I downloaded the Office program for my Mac, and my computer had to be reset, and now the program is gone. How can I get it again without having to buy a new one?

    Please help. The program is so expensive, and I do not have the money to buy it all over again.

  • I have a playlist on my nano currently. My computer had to be rebooted and now the playlist won't sink onto my computer. I just downloaded over 50 songs and they won't load onto my ipod either.

    the computer/itunes says it is syncing but it only takes a few seconds and nothing happens. I don't have a clue what to do. I want to play the new songs. the old songs i don't care about as much but i should be able to save and sync both lists together on my ipod. please please help me

    Assuming you are in a region where you are allowed to redownload your past music purchases, delete the current copies from your iTunes library, go to the iTunes Store home page, click the Purchased link from the Quick Links section in the right-hand column, then select Music and Not on this computer. You should find download links for your tracks there.
    If the problem persists, or that facility is not yet available in your region, contact the iTunes Store support staff through the report a problem links in your account history, or via Contact Support.

    i hate it.....and do not need to know how long im connected to a router. but i can not find anywhere how to turn this off. I do not know if this is something caused by the macbook pro or TimeCapsul...as i just bought both on the same day last week.
