Never wants to connect to my wi-fi

My MacBook Pro never wants to connect to my wi fi

Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

IPod Touch wants to connect to iTunes, but iTunes Freezes

So, my iPod Touch is the one before the one with the camera. Can't remember what gen that is supposed to be. Whatever. Anyways, about two years ago with on iTunes update, my iPod totally reformatted or whatever and I lost everything. I had trouble putting everything back onto the iPod. I got so frustrated that I stopped trying and haven't touched it since. Now I'm going on holiday and want music to take for the flights so I decided to give it another shot since there have been quite a few updates since then. I plugged in the iPod, it took a few minutes to charge up since it was absolutely dead before trying to connect. The second that it did, iTunes froze. I tried unplugging it. iTunes instantly worked again. Plugged the iPod back in and it froze. I repeated this multiple times and got the same result. I then went into my iPod settings and cleared all the content. Took over an hour to erase everything. Once it was done, the iPod indicated that it needed to be plugged into iTunes. I plugged it in and BAM, iTunes froze again and the iPod continues to indicate that it wants to connect despite being connected. What do I do?!?!?!? Please help.

I have looked at it, but it didn't solve any of my issues. A while ago I went to the family computer and tried plugging my iPod in there. Magically, it worked right away. iTunes was not freezing and my iPod was recognised. Unfortunately, that computer has no music on it so it didn't help. I returned to my laptop, plugged in my iPod and it worked! I thought my problem was solved, but I was sadly mistaken. From there, I waited 2 hours to transfer all my stuff over. I ejected, and unplugged. I then realised that I'd accidentally forgotten to transfer some of my albums into iTunes itself which I wanted on my iPod. I went to plug my iPod back in and once again it would not recognise. I went back to the family computer, plugged it in and worked without a problem. When I returned to my laptop, once again it would not connect. I cannot figure out what the problem is. I ran an iTunes Diagnostic test. All the tests were passed. I even got the "iPod found" result. The sync test that occured afterwards, however, failed instantly. I tried the Diagnostic test on the family computer. When it came time to do the sync test, a black rectangular box popped up and ran through some stuff (sorry, I'm not very tech savvy). Afterwards, it said the sync test had been passed. This black rectangular box has never appeared on my laptop.
What could this mean?

"awacsd" wants to connect to fd00:6587:52d7:40::1 using protocol IPC6-ICMP

Can anyone please tell me (a) what this means and (b) how to stop it - ("awacsd" wants to connect to fd00:6587:52d7:40::1 using protocol IPC6-ICMP).
I will also see ""awacsd" wants to connect to fd00:6587:52d7:40::1 on TCP port 4488" clicking on Allow Once.
Any help here would be appreciated...
Thank You.

You're right, Kiwi, but it's not just BTMM. I disabled BTMM and it still occurred.
I finally got a Senior Advisor, Taylor, at Apple to answer this. Three previous technicians claimed they'd never heard of this issue.
AWACSD is, indeed, Apple Wide Area Connectivity Service Daemon. It is a function of MobileMe. It doesn't pertain to BTMM only, but to a world of connections such as Calendar, Contacts, Synch, iWeb, etc.
Taylor explained that this a a form of handshaking between MobileMe and your Mac. If the connection is disabled by your firewall protection, you will see many malfunctions in anything MobileMe-related.
hello.connectivity.me.com is a platform established in OSX 10.6.6 that will later support other added services.
Funny. The third technician thought I was worried about the government seeking contact with my computer ("just who do you believe is trying to access your computer?") and treated me like a weirdo until I explained the research time I'd spent on this and told him I knew this was an Apple connection. Only then did he pass me along to his superior. At least he learned something.
And maybe this helps someone else who's bugged by these repeated requests for access. Allow the connection and it's over with. Yea!

How do I choose the airport I want to connect to?

I have an airport extreme and an airport express. Both are configured and were working great til a week ago, my wifi status shows less strength and internet is slow. I opened airport utility and it shows that I am connected to airport extreme in basement. I want to connect to airport express on second floor, but I can not see how to choose the airport I want to use.
Thanks in advance for the help!

Shut off the wireless and restart.. nothing is perfect.. Apple stuff roams very well, but it is never perfect.. turn of wireless and stand next to the express and turn it on again.. it should connect now to the express.
BTW the signal might be stronger at the express but the speed will be halved if you use wireless extend.. it is double hop wireless.. whereas slower speed to the extreme will transfer faster as it is single hop.
This doesn't apply to ethernet connected WAP.. but does for wireless repeater setup.

Wanted to connect Voyager (BO XI R3 ) and sql 2000 (MSAS).

We have never used Voyager before, wanted to connect Voyager (BO XI R3 ) and sql 2000 (MSAS).
Details of my Voyager connection below:

Provider: Microsoft OLE DB Provider for OLAP Services 8.0
Server Information:
Server Type: Server
Server: <server ip address>
Data Source:
User: <domain>\<NT account>

Error: "No cubes were found. Please check that you have permission to view cubes on the database server."
I tried accessing the cubes using the same data connection via excel pivottable and was able to access the cubes successfully.
Badly need help!

Hi Everyone,
As I have been working with MSAS 2000 and I reconmmend to install SP4 on the MSAS 2000 since BO XI R3 according to Support plataform it says that it is supported from SP4.
As well verified that you have access using the security role using your Windows AD authentication since Microsoft Service Analysis does not have its own authentication mode to connect basicatly rely on Windows AD.
If you want more information check this link.

Also check the service account on the same link above.
Receive Client Security Credentials Via Middle-Tier Application
The MSSQLServerOLAPService service account is irrelevant in the typical client-server environment. In this environment, the user application connects directly to the Analysis Services computer to execute a query or create an object, and passes the user's credentials directly to Analysis Services for evaluation. Access is granted or denied by Analysis Services based on cell-level and dimension-level security.
However, if the client application attempts to connect to Analysis Services through a middle-tier server, the authentication process is not quite so simple. Normally, security credentials cannot be passed over multiple computers. However, if the middle-tier application server and the Analysis Services computer support Kerberos authentication and delegation, the client's security credentials can be passed by the middle-tier application to Analysis Services.
For Kerberos authentication, delegation, impersonation, and mutual authentication to work, the MSSQLServerOLAPService service must run under one of the following types of accounts:
u2022 Local system account (which has no network access rights).
u2022 Domain administrator account.
u2022 Domain user without administrative privileges in the Microsoft Active Directory domain, provided that a domain administrator registers the Service Principal Name (SPN) for the account separately using the setspn utility in the Windows 2000 Resource Kit.
Note There are a number of steps you must follow to permit Kerberos authentication, delegation, impersonation, and mutual authentication to work. For information about these steps, see "Security Account Delegation" in SQL Server Books Online. Also go to Knowledge Base (support.microsoft.com) and see the article "Use Kerberos Authentication for Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Analysis Services."

I only want sync to work one way. My destop is master. All others are slaves and copy from master. I NEVER want anything from a slave to go to the master.

Old sync allowed me to control the direction of sync. I want my main desktop to be the master and PUSH all new bookmarks to all my other slave devices. I really NEVER want any bookmarks entered on a slave to sync back to the master. New sync can be bypassed to do this on desktops by using backup and restore with json files. But the Android FF doesn't allow restore from a json.
Why in the world would anyone want all the personal junk from their mobile devices to be automatically added to their work computer? Please mozilla, try out something new like this, and ask for user input. I have used mozilla since early netscape and always kept is as my one and only browser. Now the "new sync" has made this impossible. Can anyone recommend an alternative browser that allows manual sync from a master to slave devices?
Is there any way I control the direction of sync in a master/slave method?

Sorry, the latest version of Sync treats all connected devices equally. There is no "master" and "slave" setting or preference. And there is no way to control the "direction" of the Sync process, all devices are synchronized with all the data within the selected data types.

Does the later 2009 MacBook support the Apple DVI to Video Adapter (s-video). I want to connect it to an old tv which does not support HDMI. Any suggestions?

I have a late 2009 MacBook which I want to connect to an old LG tv. The tv does not support HDMI it only has the (red, while, and yellow) ports. Sorry I dunno the exact name for it.
So I was thinking of using the Apple Mini DVI to Video Adapter (s-video), link below...
http://store.apple.com/Catalog/dk/Images/M9319_screen.jpg
But I'm afraid that the MacBook might not support the adapter.
Can anyone give me a solution for this? Is there an alternative way of doing this? I'm kinda new to apple display adapters.

The Late 2009 model 6,1 has a Mini DisplayPort not the Mini-DVI. To see which model you have go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info. When the System Profiler comes up check the Model Identifier.
Composite is the name for the red, white and yellow RCA plugs on your TV or red, white and S-Video plugs. If you want to use the Composite input on your TV there’s no Mini DisplayPort to Composite. You’ll have to get a Mini DisplayPort to VGA adapter http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_1_19?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field -keywords=mini+displayport+to+vga&sprefix=mini+Displayport+to and a VGA Adapter to TV S-Video RCA Out Cable for PC Video. http://www.amazon.com/VGA-Adapter-S-Video-Cable-Video/dp/B000Y7T5UU/ref=sr_1_7?s =electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1316369974&sr=1-7
Only the Yellow plug or the S-Video plug for video will work. For sound you'll also need audio cables to the TV using a 3.5mm stereo headphone jack to RCA sound plugs. You attach it from the headphone jack of your MacBook to the appropriate input plugs on your TV http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=min i-dvi&x=9&y=13#/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_2_19?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=macboo k+audio+cable&sprefix=macbook+audio+cable&rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3Amacbook+audio+cable

Hey Guys, from Germany. I want to connect my iMac 21" with my Tv just for fun. Does anyone know, how it works. With a Hdmi adapter?

Hey guys! I want to connect my Imac 21 " with my Tv just for fun. Does anyone know , how it works?

Selecting the correct adapter and cable depends on which year model iMac you have and what inputs the TV has?
Check the User's Guide that came with your iMac or your Spec's at > Apple - Support - Technical Specifications
to see if your iMac has a Mini-DVI or Mini DisplayPort and then select that adapter with the correct connection for the TV.
Example: if you have a 2010 or 2011 iMac and an HDMI ready TV, then you would want the > Moshi Mini DP to HDMI Adapter with Audio Support - Apple Store (U.S.)

I want to connect my Mac Book Pro to the internet in France without any wifi connection available? Mi Fi? Sim card?

I want to connect my Mac Book Pro to the internet in France without any wifi connection available? Mi Fi? Sim card? All we have is a phone signal in this rural French location. I want to be able to Skype to states from there. We have a friend with a 3G ipad who uses an Orange sim card to do it. I would rather not have to buy an Ipad.
thanks

I found out that the data package for one month useage with MiFi is 1G. How many minutes of online time does that correspond to?

Assuming your MBP is a recent model, i.e. bought in the last couple of years, and that your TV has HDMI inputs (if you've bought it new then that's a safe assumption) then you need a mini-displayport to HDMI cable. The Apple Store sell one:

Well, I really would love the new unreleased mac pro however , I'm not sure of the expected cost , Everyone speculates from $3,000 to $8,000, in which I may have to wait a while to purchase.
To the point .... I want fully functional thunderbolt ports to be on the current mac pro's .... wonder if anyone had workarounds yet?... or could I chain the the current mac pro to a mac mini to make that happen?

I have a macbook pro with lion os. and i want to connect it to my optoma dlp projector. when i connect through a mini display to vga adapter in MBP it detects as OPTOMA XGA but no image on the screen.

i have a macbook pro. i want to connect it to projector and i have a minidisplay to vga adapter. i could connect my MBP to benq projector successfully and for all other displays( Monitors). but when i connect it to optoma projector, MBP detects the display as OPTOMA XGA but nothing on bigger screen. i tried changing the resolution and refresh rate also but no changes.
In my office we got benq projectors , for that it is working very well.(plug and play).
and also i want to say that there is no problem with the optoma projector seems, because all other windows laptops are working well with that.
i was struggling with this since one month. i googled it could not find anything supportive for my problem. please help me regarding this. i am new to apple. i hope there must be genius around here.

I need to know which MacBook Pro you have. Only mid-2010 and later MBP's transmit sound through MiniDisplay Port to HDMI. I have no information about the Mac Pro, so you might want to go to that Forum and ask there.

For the "Arangements" option to appear, the external display must be turned on with the correct input selected and connected to the computer. Then close system prefs, reopen, go to "Display" and "Arrangement" will be along the top.
