Netctl still not connecting

Hello Arch Forums!
Netctl Arch Wiki Page
I'm trying to connect to a hidden network via netctl, and eventually have it connect at startup. I copied the file form the example and ran
chmod 600 Network_I_Am_Connecting_To
I got the "Job for netctl@wlan(...).service failed" error right away. I entered the
ip link set wlan0 down
command, which seemed to be the problem according to journalctl. It seemed like it was trying to connect this time, but I got the same error.
This time, there was no solution in troubleshooting. nothing in my journalctl matched.
Here's my journalctl.

    Still not connecting after all these steps were done, what is the solution?

    Tried a different cable, this cable will now charge the ipod, but will not be recognized by the computer as even being a drive.
    haven't tried a different computer because I really don't want itunes instaled on it.

  • IPad Mini connected to home network but still not connecting to internet.

    Hi. I have a friend staying and she has an iPad mini. while all other Mac devises are connected to our home internet, her one will not. I have set the network details on her mini using the static ip option and get the blue tick beside our network name. However, we are still not connected to the wifi network. All our Mac devises are connected and her husband's iPad and iPhone are working fine. Help

    Some things to try first:
    1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at
    http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are drooping internet connection)

    Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
    Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
    You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.
    Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim

  • My mac book pro does not start but has error message with a question mark on screen. took it in and was told probably the hard drive as could not reconize it so bought new one but still not connecting.what do i do

    My mac book pro does not connect but shows an error message with a question mark on the screen.I took it to a retailer that said it was not reconizing the hard drive.He said i needed a new hard drive but it may be something else as well but he was sure a new hard drive would fix it.So putting faith in someone who deals with them i purchased a new hard drive to find it was still not working although he said the computer did know reconize the hard drive and i may have to send it away to get it checked .After already paying 120 pounds for a new hard drive and they wanting another 80.00 pounds to diagnose it i am a little sceptical.
    That's why i am interested on anyone's help.

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    I think that your Mac detects your hard disk, but the problem is that your new hard disk doesn't contain any operating system, so your Mac doesn't find any bootable partition and you see a question mark.
    If your Mac came with DVDs, insert the Mac OS X Install DVD and hold the C key while your Mac is starting. Then, just install Mac OS X. If the hard disk isn't prepared to install Mac OS X, you will have to erase it using "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)". See > http://pondini.org/OSX/DU1.html

  • Help, Connected To The Router, But Still Not Connecting To Internet

    We bought a router and a wireless adapter a few years ago, I moved out and then moved back. I tried to connect to the network we setup in the first place, but it didn't work and I was told that I had to reset the router, so I did, and I setup a new network, and the computer with the router is working fine, but the computer with the adapter, even after I ran the setup disk on it again, all it does is connect to the router, but I'm still not getting the internet. If anyone has any ideas on how I can remedy this problem I would really appreciate it if you would share it with me.  Thank you.
    Adapter Model # - WUSB54GC
    Router Model # - WRT54G2

    Try and download the driver for the adapter again. It can be found here.
    Also for the router, that can be found here.

    Does the iOS device connect to other networks? If yes that tend to indicate a problem with your network.
    Does the iOS device see the network?
    Any error messages?
    Do other devices now connect?
    Did the iOS device connect before?
    Try the following to rule out a software problem:                
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on your router

  • IPod still not connecting with windows

    I recently got a replacement iPod from Apple. I connected my iPod with my computer and the "Do not disconnect." sign shows up instantly. It was there for over 20 hours so I disconnected it. I checked out the 5 step guide for Windows to recognize the iPod, but it still doesn't work. I'm using the exact same cable and USB port that I used on my old iPod. The iPod is not recognized by my PC or by iTunes. When using the iPod updater, the only option available is "restore" and I already tried that. Whenever I connect my iPod to Windows, it always says "USB device not recognized." and the iPod always goes to the "Do not disconnect." screen. Can anyone help me?

    I have a similar problem, excpet that my ipod just stopped being recognised by itunes, although Windows Exploere recognises it. When I run the updater, it keeps telling me to plug in my ipod (even when it is plugged it) and both the update and restore buttons are greyed out.
    No hardware has been installed since the ipod was last working properly.
    I've tried everything suggested at the website... I've reset the ipod, installed, uninstalled and reinstalled the latest versions of updater and itunes repeatedly, performed restarts running only the ipod drivers using system config, nothing works. I've tried the ipod on both firewire and USB2 connections with the same result - Windows Explorer sees the ipod, but not itunes or ipod updater.
    I figure the ipod needs to be restored to its factory settings, but how do I do this if the software to do so won't recognise the ipod? Is there a hardware option to do a complete restore/reset?

  • Magic Mouse still not connecting on Bootcamp 3.1 with Windows 7

    I had windows 7 ultimate x64 running on Bootcamp the last few months and was thrilled to see that the last update would work with my shiny new magic mouse.
    To my disappointment it didn't. I tried reinstalling the update (x64 version of it) a few times, and manually deleting the drivers related to bluetooth and mouse from the control panel so it would make a clean reinstall, but without any luck... I followed every instruction, rebooted a zillion times and still nothing.
    It detects the mouse on bluetooth devices, it even knows it's mine (has my name on it), but keeps on trying to connect forever...
    Anybody has this problem?

    All,
    Here's how I got it to work:
    Go to Device Manager > Bluetooth Radios > Generic Bluetooth Adapter
    Right click > Update Driver Software > "Browse my computer for driver software" > "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer"
    Uncheck "Show compatible hardware"
    Under Manufacturer select > "Apple Inc."
    Select the "Apple Built-in BluetootDFU" and click "Next" a bunch of times.
    Then, go to the Bluetooth Icon in the system tray or in the control panel. Turn off the Magic Mouse before you try to discover the device. It should do it's thing automagically and come right up after you turn the Magic Mouse back on.
    At least these are the steps that worked for me.
    The problem I'm seeing is that the mouse stops responding if you're not constantly moving it. I'm going to try the different Bluetooth adapters from "Apple Inc." to see which one works best.

  • 4s STILL not connecting to home wifi since ios6 update

    My wife and I both have the 4s.  We have not been able to use our home wifi since the ios6 update in Sept'12.
    Our macbook, ipad, and tivo all connect just fine.  Our 4s's work fine on any other wifi we need - just not the same dlink router dir-615 we've been using for years.
    I've reset my phone, i've reset the router, i'm on WPA/WPA2.  We're able to use wifi on the 4s for apps and google for about 2 minutes (this is when i assume everyone says "yey! it's fixed") only then stops working, but still shows we're connected to wifi.
    Apple blames the router (some threads speak of apple router's not even working)
    Dlink blames the iphone software (i've read even brand new iphones still don't work)
    Verizon doesn't care because neither of the products are theirs and i'm using more of my data plan - so they win.
    i'm growing increasingly embarassed to be "all apple" when i see the thousands of others with the same problem - and NO HELP from Apple.  We're basically on our own here - when we used to be able to rely on the company for expert solutions.
    I need a solution that is simple.  I want a solution that's easy for guests to use my wifi with out taking their phone apart, rewiring it, hooking it up to my car battery, deciphering 4 different codes, and taking an online course at MIT.  I just want to use my password and get on my wifi.
    please help - and if you can provide any tips, please ensure you're read the above first!

    i checked for updated firmware on the d'link dir-615 router back in september when this first happened (after the ios6 update) but the firmware was already up to date - although the last update was 2009. 
    This was my first clue.
    After further research, I discovered that all DIR series products have been discontinued by D'Link.  This means that when apple is preparing for a software update, it requests all software/hardware specs from wifi router companies like D'Link, Netgear, Garmin, Cysco, etc.  Since D'LInk no longer produces DIR series routers, they did not provide the info.  D'Link only provided info for it's newest line of wireless routers. 
    Leaving all existing DIR users in the dust, with a failed strategy that we'd all buy the new line of wifi routers.
    Yesterday, I purchased an Apple wifi router, although pricey at $99, i plugged it in, typed the network name and pw want to use, and it was up and running in less than 5 minutes.  The apple router will recieve software/firmware updates just as my iphone, macbook, & ipad does. Everything is working perfectly, and the higher price is worth the convenience and reliability.
    If anyone makes it this far, the only thing left would be to check with your internet service provider (comcast, RCN, etc) and make sure you have the most up to date modem.  some folks are unable to send text & pic messages on wifi using an out of date modem. (i didn't have to replace mine, but i'm also not having this issue now that i have the new apple wifi router.)
    Hope this helps at least a few people out there.

    Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
    Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
    You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

  • Signed JAVA applet still not connecting.

    I have a signed applet that works in my development environment, but as soon as I run it from my website, I get this:
    basic: Referencing classloader: sun.plugin.ClassLoaderInfo@1754ad2, refcount=1
    basic: Added progress listener: sun.plugin.util.GrayBoxPainter@a7c45e
    basic: Loading applet ...
    basic: Initializing applet ...
    basic: Starting applet ...
    basic: completed perf rollup
    network: Connecting socket://XXX.XX.X.XXX:XXXX with proxy=DIRECT
    And that's it, it stops. It never loads the UI, or anything.
    I believe the signing worked. I accepted the security certificate when it came up. I'm not getting any other errors (Like a security error).
    any help would be appreciated.
    I realize this isn't a lot of information, but It works fine in the IDE, so I don't think it's the code. I have stack traces in every try/catch, so I should see any exceptions. Also, this is being served by the same server as the web-page. It didn't work before I signed it, so I thought that would fix it.
    The only error like this that I find on the forums is an unsigned applet not working after it's moved to the server.
    Anyone have any ideas?

    Make sure that the remote socket you are connecting to, i'm assuming probably your home computer? has the port(s) at your (local) router forwarding to your computer,or whichever computer is listening for the connection.
