Ongoing AOL problems

Starting today, my old AOL for Mac OS X does not sign on at all now. It was bad enough that it had many glitches with Leopard. Now it appears to be fully non-functioning. I downloaded the latest AOL Desktop for Mac beta (version 4) which is better than the last one--at least I can print. Still no available address book that I can see. I would prefer an application like the old one, but one that works. Anyone??

For some reason, I can only sign on now after I click the "remind me later" box at sign on. Still stinks.

    Who can shed some light on my ongoing connection problem.
    After upgrading my iPad Air with IOS 7.06, I could no longer connect to the internet.
    I have 2 MacBooks Air, 1 ipad mini and one iPhone 4S running on the same network, and they are all connected to the net and function well.
    So I cleaned up the ipad completely, installed the latest firmware and reinstalled my apps : no connection.
    I tried all things of resets and forgets. No result.
    I have been fondling with my Airport Extreme 5 , but that did not help much.
    This morning I went to a neighbor , hooked my ipad air on his network, typed the password and the thing all worked fine.
    I have tried to connect the ipad air as an ethernet client, but that did not work. „Not enough power“ was the statement
    Ideas anyone ?

    Yes I tried this manyfold. But did not work.  Reading on, I took Tesserac's advice. Shut down router and computer.
    Start router after 15 minutes and wait another 10 minutes before starting the computer.
    Et voila.... everything is back in working order,

  • Flash 8 + AOL = Problems

    Hey All,
    I've learned it's best to do as much research as you can
    before posting on these forums, and that's exactly what I've done.
    So, I now turn to you all as a last resort (and from the handful of
    posts I've seen regarding problems with the AOL browser on the
    forums, if anyone has any information, it'll be helpful to those
    folks, as well).
    I've been working on a website (
    http://www.reallivesports.com
    ) that is almost entirely Flash-based. Everything shows up just
    fine in IE, Netscape, and Firefox. However, I'm getting reports
    from AOL users that the site is getting hung up or not loading
    correctly if they try to view it using the AOL browser.
    From what I've been finding online, AOL uses IE and is simply
    masked by an AOL interface. So, theoretically, if the website works
    in IE, then it should work in AOL just fine. However, I'm finding
    this is not the case. I do not personally use AOL, but I had
    someone that does try and visit the site in first their default AOL
    browser...and then I had them minimize the AOL browser and try
    opening it in IE on the same machine. The AOL browser had problems.
    The IE browser showed the site just fine.
    I've had 2 scenarios reported to me. Either A) the site
    doesn' t load correctly and the user is left with the view of the
    page's background color, or B) the main page loads fine, but when
    attempting to visit a new section of the page, the loading bar of
    the page progresses, then freezes.
    I've visited the AOL technical support pages to see if
    there's any mention of problems viewing Flash in the AOL browser,
    but came up short. Another random link I found during a search in
    Google had to do with ad specifications for advertising with AOL.
    There I found that AOL is not currently accepting ads that use
    Flash 8 (which is what I'm working in). Would this mean that AOL is
    currently having trouble displaying Flash 8 content?
    The flash content on my website is a 1-frame .swf file that
    uses an XML ActionScript object to find and preload various
    external child .swf files and .mp3 files from an external XML data
    file. All child .swf files are kept loaded simultaneously, though
    all but the currently "active" child .swf file are paused and set
    invisible. All external .mp3 files are stored in ActionScript Sound
    objects in the parent .swf, and played by child .swfs by calling a
    function in the parent .swf.
    If anyone has any information that can help me find a way for
    AOL users to view my website without problems, I'd greatly
    appreciate it. We're currently in the middle of putting together an
    html/php version of the website for non-flash users (as it will be
    a good default solution if more problems like this occur). Thank
    you for your time. I hope to get some replies soon.

  • The ongoing volume problems

    This is what worked for me re same inadequate volume on Treo when IT first came out. It's what I think many of us wish for, barring just plain fixing the problem in an update, re the iPhone right now:
    http://www.gotreosoftware.com/products/VolumeCarePro/
    We need this for the IPHONE (unless and until Apple addresses in an update).
    Before you post here about your suggestions to remedy the already widely discussed ongoing problems many are experiencing with inadequate speakerphone and handset/receiver volume level on the iPhone, check out the posts on the board about it. Those of us with this problem have already tried the making sure no plastic covers speaker, etc., making sure rocker button is set correctly, resetting, and simply always having volume on MAX (which is not the way it should work for normal use) and the myriad of things already mentioned on the board for days to deal with the problem.
    If there is an enterprising engineer out there who might be willing to make something like the above described product (see link above, that is) for the iPhone, I, for one, would love to be on your beta test list.
    PBook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.3)   2 gig RAM

    Answer: this is a design problem that continues to go unaddressed. Acceptance that the iPhone has the same crappy design re volume as other cheaper "smartphones" is the "answer". Too bad... 'be nice if Apple would actually listen to these complaints by the many users who apparently - from looking at this board - share my problem with volume on the iPhone.

  • Is this a computer problem or an AOL problem?

    When I bring my e-mail up on my laptop, sometimes in the upper right corner of the screen a note comes up for a second and disappears that says my email is unavailable. I'm wondering why that is happening and what does it mean? Is it a problem with my wifi or a glitch with my laptop. I have no clue. Can anyone help me figure this out?
    Thanks,

    suze,
    please provide the full model number of your computer.  it is printed on the back.  do not provide the serial number.
    can you take a picture of what you are talking about and attach it to your reply?  Likely this is a AOL issue, and you may want to go to their forum and post in there as well.

  • Please help me with an AOL problem

    I have been on the phone with Apple and AOL with this problem and both say to call the other one. I am about to run out of time to return my iPhone if this doesn't work.
    I have two AOL accounts. The first one [email protected] is listed in iTunes and is my default account. In settings this account has all the information regarding incoming and outcoming servers. I have changed the outgoing port number for 567, 25, 234 (?), and cwmx.com with the SSL on and off. I have tried with the wifi on and off. I am just not getting any emails, can't send any, although they go into outbox and just sit. This is my personal consulting business account and I cannot communicate with my clients.
    The second account - in settings doesn't have any incoming or outgoing server information listed and I can get and send emails. When it checks for emails, it says there are three emails waiting to be send (from the mxxx account). Go figure.
    Please, please help me address this problem. Thank you in advance

    Whoa, slow down…
    The settings for SMTP for AOL or AIM Mail are:
    • port 587
    • SSL enabled
    • authentication via password
    That's it. What's up with 567, 25, and 234? Or, with cwmx.com and SSL on or off? Only the settings listed above will work correctly.
    If the alternate account does not have any values set for SMTP, where is it getting the data and how is it operating properly?

  • Mac Mail IMAP Problem: Actually Seems to Be an AOL Problem

    For what it is worth, After much futile tweaking, it would appear that what I, and a number of other users thought was a Mac Mail problem, to wit, the need to Offline>OnLine to get mail, may actually be a problem with AOL (and possibly other e-mail services).
    Apparently, AOL is manipulating its outbound mail port(s) to limit server demand. I've reached this conclusion after noticing how on weekends and nights, mail seems to work fine with AOL.
    Comments anyone?

  • AOL Problems

    For a couple of days AOL wasn't allowing Mail to access their servers, and posts on this forum pointed to AOL as the problem. Well that seems to have been cured, at least for incoming mail. I still cannot send mail. I've re-entered my password. Deleted and added smtp.aol.com as outgoing mail server. I can send mail from my iPhone but not my computer. Any suggestions?

    Hi Alli!
    I can probably help you, but I need additional information.
    What version of OS are you running?
    Which model iBook are you using?
    What size is your Hard Drive, and how much space is available?
    How much RAM is installed, and is it original or added?
    Have you added any extra fonts?
    Is AOL the only program that is causing you problems?
    Exactly what did you send to the Trash?
    Where are you downloading the AOL application from, and which version of AOL are you downloading?
    Here Welcome To America Online!, is a good source.
    Choose America Online for Mac OS X, if you are using OS X.
    I can instruct you how to uninstall, and reinstall AOL, if you would like.
    That is probably the best action to take. You may have bits & pieces of the previous installs, that are causing problems.
    There is no single AOL .plist file to trash, as AOL preferences are structured differently than Apple application preferences.
    Do you have any Favorites, Emails, Email Addresses, etc., that you would like to preserve?
    EDIT: I also need to know how you connect. Internal Modem, DSL, cable, etc.

  • AOL problems and crashes during games

    Folks:
    Most every time I download software updates, I cannot access AOL. It happened again yesterday. I tried trashing the preferences, but that hasn't worked.
    Also, certain games we play crash suddenly and for no reason. We don't have this problem with other programs, just games. We're able to relaunch the game and play again, for the most part. Could that be a RAM problem and if so, why since we have a gig of RAM and these games don't call for that much?
    Thanks for any and all help.

    Hi Again Theresa!
    I also had some updates, that needed to be installed on my MacBook, so I installed them this afternoon, to see if I could replicate your experience.
    Sure enough, AOL hung on Initializing!
    So after quitting, and force quitting AOL, I moved the files and folders listed below, to the Trash.
    I then restarted the MacBook, ran Repair Permissions for good measure, and loaded AOL.
    It took longer than usual, but it did finish starting!
    In HD > Users > Home Account > Library > Preferences:
    AOL a folder
    com.aol.aol.plist a file
    In HD > Users > Shared > America Online:
    Access Numbers a file
    Art Database a file
    Bart Cache a folder
    Buddy Icon Cache a folder
    Disconnect Log a file
    Your Feedbag a file
    Session Diagnostics a file
    If this procedure works for you, don't forget to reset the AOL Preferences.

  • I am having ongoing connection problems with the Clash of Clans app which means that I lose battles, resources or boost times. This results in a loss of gems which I have purchased but will not be refunded as they will not accept responsibility.

    Whilst playing Clash of Clans I will continually lose the internet connection. This means that I lose battles, resources, gold etc and lose boost times. I have informed Supercell who blame my internet connection even though the iPhone, laptop and TV all work fine so it is obviously a technical problem with their game and probably something to do with their last updates.
    As I have purchased gems I feel that I should be compensated for my loss but they will not accept responsibility nor investigate the technical issue. The loss of connection occurs constantly with the game often freezing during replays or searching for battles. This is obviously not a connection issue.
    What suggestions do you have to resolve this situation?

    Hi.
    Thanks for the reply. I asked because I also wanted to see if others had encountered the same problem.
    I have no problems with my internet connection as I run my TV, laptop and iPhone off the same connection with no problems. I believe that since the recent updates to the game this has caused the problem. The game often freezes, cancels out or returns me to the main game screen during battles or replays.
    What I want to know is how do I get the game designers or owners to acknowledge my problem as at this time they keep telling me it is my internet that is a problem and not their game. How do they know this when they refuse to investigate. What can I do and who do I go to for support if they won't accept responsibility?
    I am very grateful to you for replying but concerned that if this can happen to me then how many other gamers are losing out and paying for something that they are not going to receive.
    Many thanks.

  • Slate 21 Pro ongoing sleep problems that can't be resolved

    I just bought a slate 21 pro after hearing about sleep related issues, but was encouraged by various reports of solutions in the form of a replacement unit with upgraded scalar firmware, not using keyboard/mouse, not connecting an hdmi in device and/or using a bluetooth keyboard.
    I'm sad to say that none of those things reliably resolves the problem of the unit going to sleep and requiring a power cord pull to get it back.
    My unit was replaced by HP with a scalar 3.7 unit, I've tried it with and without a keyboard, with and without a bluetooth keyboard, with and without an external pc plugged into the hdmi, with and without the 4.3 security update etc.  Both the original and the replacement still have sleep issues.
    HP stopped responding to my case updates after the original replacement, but they were right on top of me when I was one day late returning the original product...with the hilarious suggestion that they'd charge me nearly $600 if I didn't promptly return it.
    I'm going to try calling in when I have a chance tomorrow, hoping to get a real person that might actually look into this.  I'm also hoping it doesn't turn into a constant return carousel where they keep sending me the same device with the same defect.  I've had this problem on rare occasion with other android devices and it generally gets resolved with a firmware fix.
    In the meanwhile, for any other prospective purchasers...you'll either have to leave the unit in 'daydream' mode where its on (and the screen) all the time to the tune of 26 watts and likely shortened screen life.  None of the supposed 'fixes' seem to fix it for me.  Abandon hope, all ye who enter here.
    I'll update if anything gets better.  If there are any HP folks who want to chime in here that'd be great.  Seems they've stopped responding on the other threads

    My friend,
    Try the new version 4.4.2 which is just started to upgrade in my country, Turkiye.

  • Ongoing Broadband Problems

    Hi All,
    We had a new line and ADSL service installed about 6 months ago and since install have had continued problems with losing our internet connection.
    I've raised this numerous times with BT(last ref: 131205-0*****) and have had all sorts of responses, from them saying there is a problem with the line, to saying that we need to reboot the router, finishing in them sending a new HH4 after I complained again.
    We have a number of devices hanging off of the current homehub and the symptoms are that from all devices, they lose connectivity to the internet and cannot browse web pages etc.
    As mentioned have tried more than one hub (1xHH3 and 2xHH4). We changed the filters, power supply etc. each time.
    The ADSL link generally (if not always) stays up and we can communicate with the hub, but nothing past that point upstream.
    Being HH4 I cannot post line stats, but here's the info the the log:

    Margins seem good. I only included the PPP LCP stuff because it seems to have preceeded the latest occurence this morning. I don't know if it always does or not or if it's relevant?
    I've done the quiet line test and there was a slight hiss but no crackling etc. That's from a wired handset. It didn't seem any different than the noise on our other line which has a plusnet connection that never drops!
    Any ideas? At the moment it seems like it happens every day or two so it's getting really annoying.
    Thanks in advance,
    Mike.

  • Ongoing Billing Problems - Filing complaint with FCC - Seeking Attorney

    This is only the latest in a constant, year long, cluster**ck.
    My internet service was fine for 10 months. The billing was wrong every single month, but the service worked. Then Comcast sent multiple letters demanding that I MUST upgrade to their new modem (which, also comes with a new monthly fee). After installing their new required modem, my internet became virtually useless. It didn't work at any time of day or night for 3 weeks, during which time I made more calls to Comcast customer service than I can count. After dozens of hours of phone calls, Comcast finally agreed to send a technician, free of charge, to identify and fix the issue. (It is also worth noting that they refused to pro-rate my bill for the 3 weeks of downtime.)
    The technician arrived and before he even attempted to review my problem, told me I had to buy a new modem. When I refused, he left. He made absolutely no attempt to diagnose my problem or repair it. He simply said that another technician would "come by in a few days" and left an invoice showing that the visit was free of charge. No additional technician ever came. I ended up researching my issues and repairing my connection myself.
    This morning, I sat down to pay my bill. Wouldn't you know it, there's a $70 charge on my bill for a FREE technician visit.
    So far this morning I've spent four and half hours on the phone with Comcast. 3 hours of which have been spent on hold.
    The first person I spoke to said he'd be glad to help me and then hung up. The second person said there is nothing they can do to change my bill despite my having a copy of an invoice saying the visit was free. They then transferred me to a third person. The third person verified my personal account information and then promptly hung up on me after I told them I was seeking a bill adjustment. I called back. The fourth person I spoke to asked me to verify my account details and then also hung up. 4 and a half hours on the phone attempting to fix a billing error and 3 people refused to assist.
    I called back. This time to cancel my service outright. The fifth person I spoke to verified my account information, asked what they could do to help, and upon my saying I'd like to cancel my service - hung up on me.
    4 Comcast employees hanging up on a customer they've fraudulently charged and a refusal to terminate my account.I fully intend to visit with my attorney to see what I can do next.

    I apologize for any frustration regarding your billing issue. I show that you have been contacted by a representative and this has been resolved. Please reply back if you have any additional questions or concerns.

  • Ongoing fps1800 problems

    I've had a set of soundworks fps800's for like 3-4 years. Since I've had them I've had the same problem. When they are turned on there is a thumping/static noise that comes out of them. It kinda sounds like a mic is hooked up and someone is tapping it. I haven't used these speakers for about 6 months so I kinda forgot about the problem. I figured I check to see if anyone has any ideas on this now. I've tried different sound cards and even computers. It still makes the noise even when the cables to the computer aren't plugged in, so its obviously something with the speakers.
    I remember seeing something a long time ago about it possibly being related to the quality of power the speakers get from the outlet, but this has happened in 3 different buildings, 2 of which are less then 5 years old, so the wiring should be good.
