My MBP keeps having to switch between two WiFi networks

Our current WiFi network set-up at home is one Cisco router provided by our ISP (WiFi network: GIORGETTI), connected to another Linksys router (WiFi network: GIORGETTI II) which allows us to use the WiFi upstairs. The signal from both networks reaches my Macbook, but I'm finding that I'm constantly having to swap connections between the two because at some point it the internet connection on my Macbook seems to freeze, websites stop loading or working and I'm forced to connect to whichever of the two networks I'm not currently connected to to access the internet again. I don't know if I'm overloading the internet or something, cause it seems to just happen at random as I browse. I have to do this several times every hour and it's getting really irritating. I've tried restarting the routers and forgetting the networks and re-joining but still the same thing. The internet seems to work fine on my iPhone 6 and iPad Air 2. Any thoughts?
I'm running a Macbook Pro Retina 15-inch, Mid-2014
2.5 Ghz Intel Core i7 - 16GB 1600 Mhz DDR3 - 512 GB
OS X Yosemite 10.10.3

Do both wi-fi base stations share exact settings and name, if they do, perhaps
there would be a seamless use of either one across all of the devices in use.
•Wi-Fi base stations: Extending the range of your wireless network by adding additional Wi-Fi base stations - Apple Support
With Apple AirPort base stations, you can set them up a special way to extend
a network, if they are using the same setting. - With your other brand, it may be
the fact is their ranges do not overlap well for use with your MacBook Pro. Are
you certain the iPhone and iPad products are using the same wi-fi as the MB/P
or are they able to access by cellular network instead of the wi-fi base stations?
In the past, my wi-fi base station in use was one with an external antenna port
so I was able to obtain an antenna so as to add range to the main base station.
This worked well, so long as I avoided placing wi-fi device by metal walls, or
concrete, or near other devices that generate interrupting similar signals. A fair
way to extend a network is by Ethernet between wi-fi base stations.
There is a possibility of having over-extended or over loaded the wi-fi capacity
of your local internet connection, in some instances. Note this is mentioned in
the above linked article in the section where the topic covers using a single or
more than one base station in a local wireless network.
You may be able to check the MacBook/Pro settings to see if you can allow it to
see and use more than one wi-fi source of your choosing, not 'any' but just those
in your Location for more seamless use. Or re-design the wireless network for
better use in the location the problem currently exists.

Anyway, there are some workable answers in the above Support site pages and
to discover the best way given your circumstances, and particular settings, may
take some time. You may have to work around a few blind-spots where signals
get dropped or are weaker due to construction of the building or layout of content.
Good luck & happy computing!

How do I quickly* switch between two Skype account...

I have a need to be able to quickly* switch between two Skype accounts on my Windows 7 desktop computer.
Both accounts have high-security difficult-to-remember and hard-to-type passwords.
Many products have a facility for doing this, remembering recent account/password combinations, or having linked accounts.
Does Skype have a way of doing this?
And if it doesn't, how do I request it get one be developed?
I use a password manager, LastPass, but of course Skype isn't a browser so it doesn't work with Lastpass.
* "Quickly switch" means without switching computer sign-on accounts and without re-typing the high-security difficult-to-remember and hard-to-type passwords many times per day.
I understand you're all volunteers. Thank you very much for your efforts on this.

Solved!
Go to Solution.

This can be done by setting up an another Skype client in a separate directory and with a shortcut containing the extra /datapath, /removable and /secondary switches.

For your purpose you can make use of a copy of Skype.exe of the already installed Skype application.

How to keep playlists in sync between two computers?

I have a MacBook Pro and a regular desktop Windows 7, and I have all of my music on both of them. However, I constantly keep adding new songs to different playlists all the time, and this makes it hard to keep everything in sync with both computers and my iPod because I usually sync from my Mac.
Right now I export the updated playlists on one of the computers and import it on the other, but it's quite the hassle just to keep some playlists in sync. I tried using home sharing, but it just keeps downloading duplicates everytime I try to import, I would've thought it was smarter by just adding the new songs but appearently it isn't.
So, anyways, is there any easy way for me to automatically keep playlists in sync between two computers?

I am indeed subscribed to iTunes Match. Are you saying that with Match, it will sync my playlists? I will have to check this when I get home. That would really be a nice surprise!
I sync my iPod to iTunes on my Windows 7 box, but use iTunes on my Mac for synching my iPhone 6 and iPad 2. Normally, I'd be modifying a playlist on the Win 7 box, adding or rearranging songs. However, occasionally, I might download a song to the iPhone while out and about. Then, when I'm back at the Mac, I'd do a sync and add that new song to one of the playlists. Should Match then be keeping the playlists on the two machines in sync?
As for the library replication, I had to do that when I first signed up for Match. I was WAY over the 25k song limit, so I made a copy of the library, and in that copy deleted enough songs to get me under the limit. Also discovered scripting and did some really neat things with that tool. Still have the option when I start iTunes to use the old library, just in case there's something there I need to copy to the smaller lib.

How to switch between two query in Web templete.

Hi all,
Here i am facing problem to switch between two query in web template by using one 'table' web item. is there any way to use hyperlink 'SAP_BW_URL' and we can switch to query. here i am using these HTML code..
<table><tr><td class="SAPBEXBtnStdBorder" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0"><tr><td>
<table><tr><td class="sapbexbtnstd" ><A href="<SAP_BW_URL cmd='reset_item' item='table_data' query_ID='ZSD_ZSD_M01_Q20' apply_cmd_on_target= "X">" >Switch to other query</A></td></tr></table>
but i am not getting correct functionality.
please help me to solve this problem.
I know the best way to say thanks in SDN.
thanks
Kiran Patel

Kiran,
Use the web api reset_data_provider as links or in select option in HTML.
   Onchange event of this select option should call JAVASCRIPT method and
   this in turn resets the current dataprovider to your concerned one.
   How to change graphs:
   The graph item has the default data provider:
   <object>
         <param name="OWNER" value="SAP_BW"/>
         <param name="CMD" value="GET_ITEM"/>
         <param name="NAME" value="CHART_1"/>
         <param name="ITEM_CLASS" value="CL_RSR_WWW_ITEM_CHART"/>
         <param name="DATA_PROVIDER" value="DATAPROVIDER_1"/>
         <param name="TMP_CHART_DATA_HANDLE" value="IIP_49MOXB0UVNOMM6JOZMZU7QO21"/>
         ITEM:            CHART_1
   </object>
So if you change the DATAPROVIDER_1 using RESET_DATA_PROVIDER to your concerned DP, this changes chart as well !!
   Please use this method and refer to sample code for Onchange Event on SELECT OPTION:
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<script>
function callDP() {
     if(document.forms[0].dp.value == "1") {
        //form your URL here..
       url = SAP_BW_URL_Get() + "&CMD=RESET_DATA_PROVIDER&DATA_PROVIDER_1=..&...";
        SAPBWOpenURL(url);
        //or docuemtn.location.href = url..
        //etc..
</script>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<form>
<select name="dp" onChange="javascript:callDP();">
<option value="1">1</option>
<option value="2">2</option>
</select>
</form>
</BODY>
</HTML>
HOPE THIS HELPS !!!

White box appears while switching between two desktops

Hello all,
Since few weeks I have a problem when I switch between two Desktops. Everytime I switch between them a white box appears in the left corner of my screen (see screenshot).

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, 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, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain iMacs. 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 (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Switching between two languages

Is there any easy way to switch between two languages - Pingyin and English. At the moment, I have to go to settings and change the language and then go to Keyboards and delete Pingyin.

Thanks.

That's what the "globe" key is for.

At home I have two wifi networks , I try to use one of them depending on their strength of signal, can I not save both their passwords on Apple TV , so that I can switch to one of the two wifi networks as required

At home I have two wifi networks , I try to use one of them depending on their strength of signal, can I not save both their passwords on Apple TV , so that I can switch to one of the two wifi networks as required
Also the passwords are long and cumbersome to type every time on the apple TV remote, what is the alternative if I cannot store them on the memory of the Apple TV

Is it possible that you are using the same password for the old O2 Study and newer O2 Apple Base Station networks?
If so, Keychain Access is storing the old information about the old network and may be associating it with your AirPort Extreme settings based on the BSSID that William has mentioned.
If that's the case, open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > KeyChain Access and look for a listing with the old network name. Delete this entry. You may need to power down both the computer and the AirPort Extreme and restart them.

Home sharing across two wifi networks?

I have two wifi networks in my home and each is attached to its own cable modem. Can home sharing be used across both networks so I can see my Apple TV and my iTunes library at the same time in the remote app? Thus far, I have only been able to access them separately by switching wifi networks on my iPhone. All my devices are set up with the same Apple ID. My main computer is running Windows 7 and it is connected to network #1 via LAN and network #2 via wireless. All my speakers including Apple TV show up in the Airplay menu of iTunes. Apple TV is connected to network #2 solely for the reason that the signal is stronger.
Any ideas out there? This has been frustrating the heck out of me. Thanks in advance!

Two WiFi Networks with Time Capsule

After installing TC (attached to an existing router), I seem to have two WiFi networks. is this normal? what should I do?

Thanks for the clarification.
In general, unless you really need two wireless networks, it is a good idea to turn the wireless function off on one of your routers to reduce the chances of wireless interference that might occur between them.
If you notice no problems running two networks, you can leave both "on" if you want. In the future, if you notice diminished wireless performance, you probably will need to turn off the wireless function on one of your routers.

Getting around commiting at task to hardware in DAQmx and maintaining HW timing when switching between two AI tasks.

I have a project that requires two HW timed AI task that are triggered at different rising edges. I originally started with an example vi that has HW timed retriggerable AI that seemed to working fine until I decided to capture two channel with a seperate task. I received error messages due to the orginal task being committed to the hardware that prevented the second task for being configured due to reserved resources.
I was able to changed the commit to verify and switched from a analog edge trigger to a digital edge so I could use another PFI for triggering the second acquisition and the program seems to work fine at the momment.
Questions that I have are:
What exactly do verify, reseve and commit refer to in regards to task setup and impact on task switching delay. What information is actually transfered when configuring the task and what are the typical delay times for switching between tasks for the task controls listed above on a PCI6071e card. I am concerned that HW timing may have been sacrificed in order to work around the reserved resources and that if someone bumps the mouse the timing sequence will miss a trigger due to an IRQ.
Any information on this topic would be greatly appreciated.
Kindest Regards,
Bill

Lon,
Thanks for the reply. I have another related question in regards to configuring the read property node for a digitally triggered start-stop routine with 2 presamples and collecting 5 samples per channel on 14 channels. Triggering occurs at 500 Hz and the total sampling time for all channels is restricted to 500 us max. I am current dealing with a single AI task and having difficulty capturing all the data in an output file. I have tried using a large array to store the data until the test is complete then write the array to a file to see if the file I/O was the problem. It did not work.
I have looked the the vi and information with respect to "How do I use digital triggering to start and stop AI". The description included with the vi indicates that the read property "Relative to" must be set to current read position and the buffer definition modified to something hugh in order to keep the ahead of the write. I have tried this and cannot seem to capture the correct number of bytes in the output file. I have tried different "Relative to" settings and offsets with no luck.
A quick summary of the test is 1000 cycles with 5 samples per channel on 14 channel captured twice during each cycle. Data read as I16 (2bytes). Neglecting the 300-500 bytes in the test comment header, the file should be in the 112k range (1000*5*14*2*2). When I do happen to collect some data the file size is either way too small or much larger than expected.
All this information to ask the simple question; How do I configure the read properties to make certain that I collect all the data and store it in a file.
I apologize for running on about this problem, but I am getting really frustrated with this.
Kindest Regards,
Bill

Recommendations for switching between two machines and one monitor

Hi,
I have a MacMini and a MacBook Air, both with Thunderbolt Display ports but I have one monitor. I'd like to switch between the two without having to unplug and plug the monitor back in every time. Any recommendations for some sort of switch or Thunderbolt hub would be greatly appreciated.
Best,
Chris

This should work if the display use display port/mini displayport inputs. A mini display port connectors plugs into the Mac's Thunderbolt port for video

Itunes unresponsive when switching between two devices

For God Sake help me with this,
i have so many apps on my iTunes(mac) ,since i updated my itunes from 11 to 12 it has been my worst nightmare ever..
whenever i attach two or more devices ,switching between devices it becomes unresponsive so that i have to force quit iTunes
i googled this issue,tried lots of things.but no success
plzzzzzz help

Paul,
Thanks for responding.
I'm still confused as to which field the script goes in and how to enter it in relationship to any existing script.
Instead of me trying to explain verbally, I'll show you what I have.
Document Hierarchy:
Subform path & script: (I'm assuming I need one for each subform)
xfa.host.resetData("xfa.form1.Page1.subform1");
xfa.host.resetData("xfa.form1.Page1.subform2");
"Radio Button List" Click Event script that shows/hides subforms:
form1.Page1.FLOC.RadioButtonList::click - (JavaScript, client)
if (this.rawValue == 1)
    Subform1.presence = "visible";
    Subform2.presence = "hidden";
else if (this.rawValue == 2)
    Subform2.presence = "visible";
    Subform1.presence = "hidden";
if (this.rawValue == 1)
    Efficiency.presence = "visible";
if (this.rawValue == 2)
    Efficiency.presence = "visible";
I've tried putting the script inside the curly brackets, outside the curly brackets, at various locations within the above script, but no matter where I put it, it clears the entire form.
Would you be so kind as to re-write the above script properly so I can see what it's supposed to look like.
Thanks!

Switching between two tables in the front panels

Hi
I am working on an application,which has two "Tables"
in the front panel. Both the tables do get updated
simultaneously from the same test,
Table-A displays
A short summary report while the test is beign executed, and result.
Table-B displays
A detailed report of the test and its condition and parameter
along with results.
My front end is a simple display table, along with couple of
Button controls,like "START","ABORT","DeTAIL DISPLAY" and "QUIT"
ofcourse.
All these buttons are used in Event driven case structures except
"DeTAIL DISPLAY"
as the execution beigns, on the press of start button,
there are number of tests in which i have to pass, parameters to
DLL and get back the result parameters.
The end customer requires to switch the display between the TABLE-A & TABLE-B during execution.
so i have a, seperate while loop,where in a case structure is wired to "DeTAIL DISPLAY"
button, and if true, visible is set to true to TABLE-B, and false to TABLE-A,
and vis-versa. as per the logic this while loop should take care of switching between the
tables.
The other while loop Takes care of the entire test.
My problem is that, while i execute the switching of tables are not fast.
it waits till the tests are over,and event case structure is in idle state, and then switches to the other table.
Also some times i am unable to click on button"DeTAIL DISPLAY", as the event control
case structure, is not responding till end of the execution.
How to over come this problem

Switching between two Apple IDs - 90 day wait?

I have been smoothly transitioning between two apple IDs on iTunes for the last year. I have just switched from PC to Mac and suddenly there's a message that states I have to wait 90 days before I can associate another Apple ID with this device. I don't really understand what this means, especially since I've already successfully logged in to both Apple ID accounts in iTunes on my new Mac. I don't want to wait 90 days every time I buy something from one account before it will let me buy something from the other (is this what this means?) I'd really appreciate an explanation from the learned Mac-user community. Thanks so much for your help!

annikaaus wrote:
Thank you, I did find that information myself, but it didn't really make things clearer to me. Once the 90 days is up will I be able to switch back and forth as I please? Or do I have to wait 90 days every time I want to switch IDs?
You can switch back & forth now as you please for new purchases (not for redownloading). 90 days is for redownloading.
iTunes prefs > Store.
Uncheck Automatic Downloads.
And why wasn't I aware of this wait time on my old PC device?
You never saw this because Automatic Downloads was not ticked.
