My wifi constantly switches between on and looking for other networks

while I am on my wifi network and internet successfully I notice that it switches between saying WIFI ON and LOOKING FOR OTHER NETWORKS. How do I get it to stop looking for other networks because it is successfully already connected to the right one?

Hold down the option key and select the Wi-Fi menu in the menu bar. What values are shown for the following?

Now hold down the option key again and select

MBP constantly switching between charging and fully charged, what's wrong?

My MBP is constantly switching between charging and fully charged. The mag safe connector flashes orange for a bit and back to green. The same goes for the status in the tool bar. Originally I thought it was the mag safe so I switched it up to my backup mag safe. I was fine for about a day until the same problem appeared. Any thoughts?

If your MBP is one of the early 2007 models then most likely it has the same battery problem that others have had, as did mine. Look at the support page on apple.com for info on these issues.

HT4889 Migration Assistant to update my new Mountain Lion iMac from an external USB hard disk drive, it is constantly saying that it is "looking for other computers". It doesn't find the external drive. Why is it looking for other computers?

I'm trying to use Migration Assistant to update my new Mountain Lion iMac from an external USB hard disk drive. I told it to look for a drive, yet it is constantly saying that it is "looking for other computers". It doesn't find the external drive ... it just endlessly looks for other computers. Why is it looking for other computers at all, when I told it not to?

Wow, the wording in Migration Assistant is misleading. I've never used it before, so I thought I would try to copy my files from the external drive ... my old iMac died, but I managed to get everything I need off it, using the 'cp' command in single-user mode. So I guess I'll just have to manually copy the files from the external drive to the new machine. I was hoping that Migration Assistant might help somehow, but obviously not.
Thanks for the quick reply!

Stop AirPort looking for other networks

My AirPort light goes blinking yellow and I see that it is "Searching for other networks" all while connected to my Comcast cable modem. How do I limit the AirPort to ONLY connecting to my preferred network?

My GE60 2OD is constantly switching between IGPU and DGPU

I have upgraded to the latest BIOS(Win 8.1) and EC. I have Windows 10 TP installed. In NVidia settings I've selected IGPU as the main GPU, but whenever I press alt+tab, it switches to dedicated gpu for a second - it causes stutter. Is there any way to go around that?

Are you switching between a dGPU running program and an iGPU running program by using the alt+tab control?
Which graphics driver version are you using?
If you set the main gpu to dGPU, does the problem remain the same?
You may have unstable system since the windows 10 isn't officially supported, so to roll back to win8.1 may be a better choice for a more stabled system.

Why does airport cycle continually between "on" and "looking for networks"

I've been trying to find the answer to this for what seems like weeks. My macbook (Lion), my girlfriends macbook pro (Snowleopard) an iPhone 3G and an iPhone4 all seem to be unable to simply keep a steady connection to my WiFi.
They all connect, but then "looking for network", then "on" and repeat this cycle over and over.
I know this is effecting the signal and data transfer, because if i do a speedtest, you can see the signal drop off to next to nothing when its "looking for network" and come back to strength when "on"
This sometimes causes the connection to hang, or disconnect completely. The cycle length seems to vary, but is generally around 5-8 seconds. Then sometimes it is connected for say 7 secs and then looking for 12 secs.
This is not specific to my network either. My brother who lives 1.5 hours away has the same thing happening on his iMac, and if i log on to his network with my iPhone 4, it shows the same behaviour.
What the **** is going on?
My IP has tested stuff from their end, all is fine. If i connect via the ethernet, no problems. They have changed the router twice and are now sending another, but it must be a problem with Apple devices.
Any ideas?, have i missed the explanation/solution in my searches?
thanks for any pointers

It should but then Mountain Lion who knows..
I recommend you reset the TC and use proper SMB network names.. for TC itself, wireless and hard disk.
Use fixed channels.. and different name for 5ghz.
And WPA2 Personal security.
Did you upgrade install ML?? Or was it supplied with Mountain Lion... ?

Looking for Mac network professional to setup our small business network.

I've installed OS X Server on an iMac within our office to act as a file server and also allow us to access files using a VPN. Probably should have purchased a Mac Mini Server and will likely go that route in the end.
I'm computer savy, but little networks experience and just can't get this working correctly. If we had more time to dedicate to this and with help from this forum, I'm sure we could get it up and running. The goal is to get a simple network going that will allow us to access files, etc in the field and at our home offices with the ability to grow as our business expands.
At this time I'd really like to have someone just handle the setup of the network so we can get functionality asap. I've done some searches and looked for a network professional in our area with experience in Mac networking within a business environment, but haven't had much luck.
If anyone point me in a direction of someone that can help get this going I'd be forever greatful:)

I'm not a rocket scientist but I do have a working mail server and website using a mini mac and os x server (Mavericks).
It all begins with your DNS and I recommend you do use a mac mini with OS X Server as it's designed for that very purpose. You absolutely must get your DNS situation working first. There's a guy in this forum named Mr. Hoffman who is particularly useful (there are others) in this area. He has a website with lots of helpful advice and, in particular, this: http://labs.hoffmanlabs.com/node/1436.
However, before you embark on that journey, this is what you'll basically need to do:
You're going to need a public (external/public facing) DNS and a private (internal) DNS. Your private DNS (served by your os x server) needs to live behind some kind of hardware firewall/router to prevent the great unwashed and curious from venturing into places they probably shouldn't be venturing. It's port(s) should never be exposed to the outside world.
Get a static IP from your ISP and register a domain name.
Let your domain registrar provide the external DNS.
You'll want to set up an internal DNS using OS X Server in the 10.0.0.0/16 subnet (it doesn't seem to let you use 10.0.0.0/8 and it really hates 192.168.0.0/24).
The server itself will need to be "self-aware" by setting it's System Preferences > Network Preferences > DNS Server to 127.0.0.1.
Of course, once you get the DNS working you'll want to turn on File Sharing and then (and only then) Open Directory. THen you can begin adding other services such as web, mail, vpn, etc...
I'm sure there is lots more that I've missed but this should do for now. Good luck.

Is there an easy way to switch between ehternet and wifi connection without having to disconnect the ethernet cable?

Hi All
Was wondering if there is an easy way to switch between ethernet and wifi connection on Apple TV without having to disconnect the ethernet cable. The reason I ask is that I find it quicker to use my ethernet connection via a Netgear Powerline Home Theatre Set-up to stream Trailers and Movies on the Apple TV, however this is no good when connecting directly to my Mac to stream music or TV shows in iTunes, so revert to the wifi connection that I created on my Time Capsule to do this.
Would be handy if Apple TV had a menu option where you could manually change the connection type depending on what you were doing, as per above scenario.
Cheers

Automatic switch between personal and business mod...

Hello,
I appreciate particularly the personal / business home screen content differentiation on the E55. My wife uses E75 and appraises it as well. We have a problem though: it is quite boresome to have to switch manually when you leave or come home.
Does anyone know that can be done automatically, for example during business days and hours ?
Thanks
Daniel

Unfortunately no.
My suggestion is to try both and stick with the one that looks best on the most channels that you regularly watch. I have a 720p LCD but the 1080i setting in my DVR provides the best HD picture by just a little bit.
Also, you have an option you can set for the SD channels (SD Override). I prefer OFF, which means that the SD channels are sent to my TV also using 1080i. This results in a slightly worse SD picture than using 480i or 480p, but eliminates the extremely annoying 2-4 second delay (HDMI re-sync) when switching between HD and SD channels. Again, I suggest you try the various settings and pick the one that you like best (or hate less?)

How to quickly switch between straight and curly quotes?

I've recently moved from a Windows XP machine with MS Office to a Mac Pro with Pages.
For the kinds of documents I typically work on, sometimes I need to have straight quotes, and sometimes curly quotes. With MS Word, I was able to create a couple of macros that would switch these preferences for me. With these macros linked to an icon in the toolbar, switching between straight and curly quotes was as easy as clicking a button.
Now I'm looking for a way to do this -- or something like it -- with Pages.
I know how to switch back and forth using the preferences menu, of course, but I'm looking for something quicker and simpler, since I often have to make this change several times a day.
Can Automator do something like this? Or is there another way?
-- Eric

Turn off the auto correction and you can type Curly quotes with:
left single ‘ option ]
right single ’ option shift ]
left double “ option [
right double ” option shift [
If you want the French quotes « and » they are option and option shift |

Switching between Design and JSP tabs add code?

I am new to SJSC and I am taking the time to go through all of the little odds & ends of the IDE.
I was looking at:
http://blogs.sun.com/roller/page/tor?entry=computing_html_on_the_fly
And I decided to try this.
When I add the following in the JSP tab:
<h:outputText binding="#{Page1.tableHtml}" id="outputText1"/>Save.
Then click on the Design tab, then go back to the JSP tab, I now have:
<h:outputText binding="#{Page1.tableHtml}" id="outputText1"/>
<h:outputText binding="#{Page1.outputText1}" id="outputText1"/>It's late here, but this doesn't make any sense, why would switching between Design and JSP tabs add code?
Thanks,

Unable to switch between 3g and 4g on my Lucid

After an update a week or so ago, my LG Lucid has completely lost the functionality of switching between 3g and 4g. As 4g is a battery hog I kept it mostly on 3g (but not always) and since the update , I am stuck on 3g. Took it to the Verizon store for a techie to look at it and he was stumped. I used to access thru "settings" - "about phone" - "network" - "network type and strength" , which brought me to some toggles where I could choose the network best suited to what I was doing. Now this screen is gone completely and only shows signal strength. The techie suggested a factory data reset, which would not only erase all my items from my phone, but if it did provide 4g service, I would now be stuck all the time on that. I told the tech guy I would wait for a fix to this. My question is, are there others out there with this problem or is there a fix for it. I contacted LG and they said they have had no updates to the phone. Is Verizon denying the problem or even working on it ?????

I have a related issue with my LG Lucid. It tends to get stuck in 3g in areas that I know are 4g. A phone restart usually takes care of it but it sure is a pain to do that. If that fails then a battery remove/replace fixes it. Neither are good options but worth considering while we wait for an update.
There are several 3g/4g switch free apps available too but none that say they support Lucid. I found that 3G/4G On/Off (Toggle 3G) by JuYeo! Oh works well to turn on 3g when the Lucid doesn't do it but I haven't found a way to turn on 4g.

Easy way to switch between Headphones and Surround in

I'm looking for some sort of utility that can make it easier to switch between headphones and surround speaker setu
ps.
As it is right now, I use my headphones for FPS gaming and such but when I listen to music, etc., I want to then have XP go back to settings for 5. surround. I keep both my headset and speakers hooked up and just power off the speakers when I used my headphones.
Is anyone aware of a utility that can automate this?
At the worst perhaps just a tray icon that I can quickly select the desired setup but better would be a utility that watches the current apps and lets me tell it what the right settings are for each and change it on the fly.Message Edited by Agrajag on 0-08-200804:57 PM

i don't know of any way to automate this process.... i have speakers and a surround sound system, but my computer is usually set to the surround sound setting. i just leave it like that when i use my headphones. the headphones work alright when the surround sound setting is on, as far as i can tell. hope this helps

Sapmmc - jstart.exe keeps restarting, switching between green and yellow

Hi Friends,
I installed the SAP core server ( as part of SAP convergent charging) , but jstart.exe and dispatcher-1 process in sapmmc are noticed keep switching between yellow and green. when the jstart.exe turns green (all process running) , dispatcher-1 turns yellow (waiting to start) and when dispatcher-1 turns green (restart-yes) , jstart.exe turns yellow (some processes running). Only for a small duration , they both remain green (may be during transition).

HI,
Import the SAP profiles in SAP transaction RZ10: Utilities - Import profiles - of Active Server
OR
Check what messages do you have in jvm_server0.out, dev_server0.out and bootstrap traces,
also have a look at the note 142100.
The first problem is that in the SCS instance there are no running enqueue server as its starting line have no line break at the end in the start profile. Without this NT cannot parse the line. After adding the line break the enqueue server could start.
The second problem is that in the global dispatcher configuration for the LockingManager the en.port was set to 3201 instead of 3200 (which is correct as the SCS instance has the intance number 00).
After correcting these problems the J2EE engine could be started fine.

Automatic switch between 720p and 1080i

I just got FiOS installed today and as I was going through the menu, I noticed that for the video resolution, you are forced to pick a format. Is there a way to set it up so that the STB automatically picks the resolution that the broadcaster has chosen? I don't want to watch everything in 1080i or 720p. I'd like to watch it as the channel has chosen to send the signal
