My wifi just stopped working... help please.
I've got a Macbook and starting this afternoon, I cannot join my home network using the wireless. It shows my network in the Airport menu, but when I try to join it, it says, "connection timeout". I've power-cycled the Motorola router -it says everything's fine. I've restarted the Macbook twice using safe-boot, restarting, then rebuilding permissions. Still nothing. Did my Airport card go kaput?
I'm connected right now using an ethernet cable. What else can I check to see if the card is bad or if something is just messed up in the prefs? How can I get connected once again using wireless?
Thanks in advance.
Well, i figured it out. Wifi still wasn't connecting until I turned on my PS3. I recently made that a wired connection to reduce latency for online gaming. For whatever reason, once the PS3 connected, then I was able to take the Macbook online wirelessly.
I have no idea why, but it worked -so if it happens again, that's my fix.
Thanks for the input, William.

Airport Extreme 7.6.1 WiFi just stopped working, HELP!
Hi all,
not sure what is going on, but my Airport Extreme running 7.6.1 just stopped working over wifi. My desktop PC is wired to the Airport and it is running fine on the internet. My iOS devices, however (iPhone 4 and iPad 1) just won't work over wifi. My wife's blackberry is also not working over wifi.
I am running AirPort utility on the iPad and it can find and manage the AirPort base, but it says internet is not working (orange dot) which is not true, as I am typing this post on the PC wired to the AirPort.
I have tried to reload the AP to no avail. Have also tried to reload the iOS devices, to no avail.
What should I do? Seems like the bridge connection between the wifi network and the Ethernet port just died.
On a side note, 7.6.1 seems to be very unstable, my PS3 connection drops constantly, which never happened before. Can you point me to a more stable release?
PersioTry restoring the factory settings of the AirPort Express and delete all profiles
you have set:
1 Unplug the AirPort Express.
2 With the tip of a straightened paper clip to hold the reset button while
plug the AirPort Express.
Wait until the status light stops blinking and then restart the base station. -

The wifi just stopped working outside of the house. Now it's basically a calculator that I carry around with me.
That's nice. Hopefully you'll have some mathematical problems for which to use your calculator.
Meantime, did you have a support issue? -
Airport Extreme Card just stopped working -help!!
I've had my MacBook Pro since mid August with a built Airport Extreme Card. It has for most of the time been working fine with my Netgear router. Yesterday it just stopped working. The black bars aren't showing on the aiport, it keeps refusing to accept the WEP password.
I have tried switching the airport on and off, and have also switched off the router and re started it, all to no avail. The WEP password is correct.
I have a WIFI printer connection and the airport will not connect to that either.
This has happened once before about 6 weeks ago but I can't remember what I did, if anything, to remedy the situation.
I have 3 other laptops all working perfectly well on the system, and all printing from the printer without any problems.
Any suggestions before I and the laptop go hurtling through the first floor window?Hello MiBy. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!

Try resetting your MBP's PRAM ...
Reset the PRAM
o Shut down the computer.
o Turn on the computer.
o Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
o Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
o Release the keys.
(ref: Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM) -

I keep getting "itunes has stopped working" help please ,daughter is frantic to use xmas present
Need a bit of help ,computer keeps saying "itunes has stopped working " and then "a problem has caused prog to stop working etc" when i follow links nothing happens and the same info comes up.Please help.
This Apple article will help you isolate the problem a little -> iTunes for Windows Vista or Windows 7: Troubleshooting unexpected quits, freezes, or launch issues
Does iTunes start in Safe Mode?
Open iTunes in Safe Mode to isolate any interfence with plug-ins or scrpits not manufactured by Apple.
Hold down the Shift and Control keys while opening iTunes. If performed correctly, you should see a dialog that says "iTunes is running in safe mode" before iTunes finishes starting up.
After clicking Continue, determine whether the issue you were experiencing persists in Safe Mode.
It would also be helpful if you can provide the Error Report from the Windows Action Center Reliabilty History. To view this go to Control Panel > All Control Panel Items > Action Center > View Reliability History under Maintenance. Double click the iTunes critical event and copy it into your reply.
If you run into problems, see b noirs walkthrough in this thread -> Windows Apple Mobile Device -
After updating to IOS 5, my wifi, only at work so far has stopped working. My laptop WILL connect to the network as well as others iPads, iPods, etc. I can connect with my iPad at home on my wireless with no problems.
Here's what I've tried so far.
1. Resetting
2. Powering down and restarting
3. Resetting networks
4. All settings under Safari and wifi and general.
When I was able to connect at work I would get a pop up that says click to connect. Now I don't get that pop up. I have turned off the pop up blocker in the settings. One of the IT people here, while I was on the phone connected with her iPhone, but I still cannot connect.
It's almost as if the pop up blocker isn't functioning right. I still don't get pop ups and hence I can't log in. I tried to find a place to email Apple and mention this, but it's impossible to find an email (at least for me anyways).
Thanks.
PaulHello bluemonarc98,
There are several possibilities here.
1. Are you using any kind of carrying case? A carrying case with a magnetic clip? If so, that may be a factor -- in some cases it may take a couple of days for the effects of a magnetic field to fade and normal function to return.
2. You can try resetting Network Settings on the iPod Touch via Settings > General > Reset.
3. Check to see if your WiFi hardware is being properly recognized on the iPod Touch via Settings > General > About -- the WiFi information should show a series of 6 pairs of letters/numbers separted by colons. If the WiFi is not showing the proper information, you may need to backup and restore the iPod Touch per http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
4. If the reset and restore do not resolve, you may need to arrange for service.

I've had an iphone4 since April and recently the lock button stopped working, I was wondering since I hadn't had it for a year if it could get fixed for free
ONly way to find out is to go to your nearest Apple store and talk to the people at the genius bar.

My command z key just stopped working -HELP
Please help. I was working in InDesign CC and hit the Command z key. Everything froze. I had to restart and now command z doesn't work.
Just noticed my iMAC finder preferences are not working as well.
Does it sound like a MAC or Adobe issue?
I am not an IT person, just a simple designer. It takes me forever to get my preferences set. I have just started using my iMAC and Adobe CC since purchasing Dec. 2013. Looks like I should have stayed with good ole CS3. -
My wifi just stops working on ipad.

Try these simple things ...
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Also try rebooting your router - unplug it from the pwer for about 30 seconds and then plug it in again.
