Possible Wifi Solution

K - had this **** thing 2 days - driving me nuts w/ the wifi drops (and can't connect to my other network... another issue not yet resolved).
But, changed it to a static IP address - that seems to have helped a lot.
And.... here is the vodoo entry, after reading where the wifi antenna is, rotated it so that the home button is at my left hand instead of my right. It has actually held 3 bars for 30 minutes (the other position, the bars flip from 3 to 1 and back again constantly).
This hasn't been proven yet by any means. But I was actually able to open the apple tech support web page on the ipad for the first time, so maybe there is hope.

Well - my experiment did improve things quite a bit, but I have had it drop the connection several times since then - once when it forgot the network password.
I tried setting the WPA2 on the router. It appears to have sped up the thing, but not made the network connection any more stable.
I'm trading my ipad in today at the apple store. I really doubt that the new one will behave any differently, but I'll give it a try before I give up and get a refund.

Have you tried re-booting your WiFi router ? It may seem OK on your PC, but a re-boot may help.

Possible WiFi dropout solution

Check the setting in your modem/router called GROUP KEY UPDATE INTERVAL. It generally defaults to 3600 secs (1 hour). Found this page. http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/archive/1089217 Set my key to 0 and now been stable for over 6 hours.

Solution worked for both of my routers (D-Link & Linksys-Cisco) with the 2 iMacs and Dell NetBook. Other 2 PCs unaffected either way. Both routers defaulted to 3600 secs. Now set to 0 secs update. I did call the topic "possible solution", not "the solution". I'm now also able to copy files across my network which I was finding difficult pre this fix. Still not entirely convinced that I have "the solution" to my wifi issue but I've got that warm fuzzy feeling.

Cannot use wifi after updating to 6.1.2 on my iPhone 4S WIFI solutions proposed by Apple are not working

Dear Apple.
I was really happy with my iphone4s, IOS 6.0, great product amazing quality and posibilities BUT.......
I updated from IOS 6.0 to 6.1.1. and the WIFI nightmare started.
I waited for a new update to fix the WIFI problems and I updated my iphone 4s from 6.1.1. to 6.1.2. in order to solve these problems related with WIFI connections.
But IOS 6.1.2. is even worst:
- WIFI is not working at all. So I cannot download apps greater than 50MB.
- Battery life is shorter than ever.
- 3G goes in and out every minute.
- When you operate the iphone4s you can realize that is hotter than before.
These problems are unnaceptable and inconsistent with a high quality standard product.
You can read a lot of blogs, I am not the only one.
Please give us a solution as soon as possible.
Best Regards

Try Settings App > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. See if better. If still problem, Restore iPhone with iTunes on your computer. See if better. If still problem, and if there is Warranty or AppleCare make Genius reservation or set up Service and take or send iPhone to Apple for resolution.

Possible update solution for some Jelly Bean issues on Razr Maxx

I bought a Razr Maxx used two weeks ago and wanted to a post a possible solution to the broken Jelly Bean update. My Razr Maxx (practically new) was slow, lagged, and gave me about 10 hours of battery life. Also, my Wi-Fi was horrible just 10 feet from the wireless router and it ran hot.
Before I chucked it for a used S3 I decided to do what others had done. Keep in mind, the phone had been previously factory reset after the JB update had been OTA'ed to the unit a few months ago. It was put in a drawer as the person bought a new phone.
So to be clear: It had gone through a factory reset but without clearing internal memory and had serious issues. I had cleared the Dalvik cache but it didn't help. Here's what fixed my phone:
I did a battery recalibration. This can be done by running the phone down to zero. Shutting it off and charging it overnight. This may have to be performed twice.
Backed up my files, removed the mSD card and from the OS, erased the internal storage. I also went into the Settings / Privacy and set Automatic Restore to off.
I cleared the Dalvik Cache again.
http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-razr-maxx/232462-how-wipe-cache-without-doing-factory-reset.html
I booted into safe mode.
http://support.verizonwireless.com/clc/devices/knowledge_base.html?id=50079
From the OS within safe mode, I performed a factory reset and had it clear the internal storage again.
Started the setup process.
Cleared Dalvik Cache again.
The result is a smooth "buttery" feel (well, as smooth as this platform can offer) no massive lagging like before where the phone would just lock up for five seconds, no over heating, WiFi is seemingly normal and battery life is Maxx instead of Min. To give you an idea, the phone had been on light use and on for maybe 13 on battery when I did the reset. I did the hard reset from a 65% battery and reinstalled all the apps over WiFi and reconfigured. At 2:30 a.m. it was at 1 percent so I set the screen to 100% brightness and played a video until it died about 3 a.m. Basically the screen was on and the phone being used from around 9 p.m. until 3 a.m. after coming off the charger at 8 a.m. the previous morning.
Will this work for you? I don't know but I know the Jelly Bean in place upgrade on this phone is pretty flaky from the complaints.
If your phone has been turned into a pile of junk by the update, you have nothing left to lose unless you're just using it as a bargaining chit to get a new phone from VZW.
Good luck to anyone who tries it.
If you are trying to diagnose battery issues, I recommend GSAM.

Thank you for your support.
My router is a TL-WR740N, and I think it has only a 2.4-2.4835GHz antenna.
So it seems that I have to keep on trying.
I also tryed to rename the router, still nothing.
Thank you anyway.

Frequent freezing - a possible (temporary) solution?

I recently purchased a used dual 1.42 ghz G4, that was running Jaguar (OS X 10.2) and immediately purchased the Mac Box Set with OS X 10.5.6, iWork, and iLife. I was THRILLED with my purchase... for about 40 minutes. Then my system froze up completely. I restarted, and again... everything was great... for about 40 minutes. Frozen again. I searched high and low for a solution, and nothing I tried worked.
From what I had read, I assumed that it was a hard drive issue. (I have 3 hard drives... the original 120 MB, a 250 MB, and a 400 MB.) I ran a few different HD utility programs, all reported that the drives were fine.
Last night, after rebooting for the 4th time, I had a flash of inspiration. I changed the energy saving setting to NOT shut down the hard drives when possible. Not a single freeze since then. Until a better, working alternative is found (or I get a new hard drive) I'm happy with this.
Please reply and let me know if this works for you... or if you have better ideas!

The problem started when I installed 10.5. Keeping the hard drives "awake" has been the only working solution I've found so far.

WiFi solution using Telstra wireless USB modem

Having perused the many discussions concerning difficulties with wireless networking using OS X Lion, I now have little confidence as a new Mac owner in establishing such an internet connection unaided .
After much technical support, I come to realise that my current telstra USB modem (sierra wireless compass 885) being used with a pc laptop is not directly compatible with OS X 10.7.3.
My basic need is to have an internet connection on my Macbook and an ideal situation of being able to network with pc, Apple TV and possibly a backup device such as time capsule.
So, I figure my options are to either purchase a new compatible USB modem and router, or purchase a wifi router that will allow me to connect my Mac to the internet wirelessly through the existing pc connection.
Please advise on the viability of these options, insofar as the likelihood of establishing and maintaining such a network without the need for a fixed line ethernet ADSL type connection. Further to this, I would appreciate any recommendations for suitable modems and routers.

Do you need a modem because you have a dial-up ISP? There are several USB modems that work with Macs listed on Amazon. Just search for USB modems and you'll be able to find customer comments suggesting ones that work with Macs. There is a US Robotics on Amazon with reviews that say that it works with Lion -
http://www.amazon.com/USRobotics-USR5637-FaxModem-Windows-Linux/dp/B0013FDLM0/re f=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1335769698&sr=8-1
If you have a DSL or cable modem, I would suggest in investing in a good wireless router so that you could connect all your computers. For Time Machine, I don't use the wireless drives that Apple sells, I just use a G-Drive Firewire drive. There are a lot of good outers on the market - I have a LinkSys (Cisco) that I bought a couple of years ago that is a great little 4-port router. Try http://home.cisco.com/en-us/home for a selection of good routers (others here may have other brand preferences, but Cisco has always worked well for me with minimum set-up required).
More specifics would help - what Mac you have, if your ISP is dial-up, DSL or cable, etc.

Possible overloads solution...

Again I can only speak based on the hardware I have, but I know the overloads problem is affecting A LOT of LP8 users.
I went thru the tedious process of trying to get a more permanent solution to the constant Overloads problems I had even on very small projects (1 Audio track and 4 Virtual Instrument tracks). I had tried just about every suggestion and because I wanted to be sure I had a solution I had to exit LP8 and restart LP8 after each change I made.
To make a long story short, the ONLY combination I had not tried under Preferences | Audio | Devices | Core Audio was setting the I/O buffer size to 256 and checking I/O safety (I had tried every other combination from 32 - 1024 with and without I/O safety checked). And viola suddenly my project was no longer getting any overloads and my CPU utilization was pretty good/low.
Of course, I need to do a lot more testing and considerably more complex projects, but at least I'm moving in a more positive direction rather than a hopeless direction. I still feel such a simple project should NEVER reach any overloads regardless of my buffer settings and I've got plenty of System.logs with hard samples of real problems with LP8. So don't take this a LP8 is all good now, this is just a possible solution that is working for now and has at least made LP8 useful rather than useless to me.
My Hardware:
2 Dual Core processors (aka a Quad MacPro) @ 3GHz
8GB RAM
ATI 1900XT 512MB Video
Motu Ultralite
4 internal drives (1 500GB HD, 2 500GB RAID, 1 300GB Bootcamp Vista)
Mackie Control
Mackie C4 Pro
MAudio Axiom 25
So my suggestion is take the time to go thru EVERY single possible combination of I/O Buffer Size and I/O Safety enable/disable setting and be sure you exit LP8 after each setting change BEFORE you test.
Hope this helps, Rob.

Your sig shows you're still on Tiger. I only started having these problems when I moved to 10.5.1.
Another solution for me was to select every track before the first play. BTW, the overloads would go away for the most part after every track had done a first play. Once every track had been "initialized", overloads were pretty rare (prior to the 256 buffer setting). But this was of course a very painful process to keep doing everytime I opened a project. The 256 buffer + safety I/O solutions seems to work so far. It's still very much a big coding problem for LP8, but at least I'm finding liveable work arounds til Apple fix it.

Possible aac+ solution

http://www.audiocoding.com/userinfo.php?uid=1
http://www.oggfrog.com/free-music-software/#packages
Searching for this also listed a sony phone sync thingy ???
Look for FAAD2 , hopefully someone can make it compatable with itunes so we can get aac+ / aacplus.
Downloading the source code and possibly compiling it into OSX can also be done.
Aac+ = it's a start and at 24kbps sounding better than 128kbps mp3 = promise for saving's on internet connection bill for streaming / listening.
Now we just need to get a aac+ format for video then IPTV can finally take off.
Hope this helps.

Stalls on import - possible clue & solution

Just in case anyone else is having this prob:
I've had a persistent problem with LR - from the very start - on my laptop where part way through importing Canon raw files from a CF card the import will stall. I would have to relaunch the app and then retrying to import the images would result in several duplicate images (usually 5 or 6) from the point where the first import stalled being duplicated in the library - noted with a -2 at the end of the filename. A possible clue to the problem and a seemingly good solution is by not having the top tool bar showing - the one with the ID plate, modules and thumbnails alongside the progress bar then this seems to stop the freezes. I've done card after card like this and it seems to be working just fine. My guess is that it is the accessing of the thumbnail image for the progress bar which was causing the problem.
I still get regular freezes when LR 1.2 is building the initial previews, sometimes it restarts by itself, other times I have to restart the app. This is a known problem.
Steve

My choice is to first copy all the files from the CF using a card reader to a folder on disc and then import them to Lightroom from the folder on disc.
If you look at that process it is relatively slow. So what I would recommend is to copy all the files off CF card first. I also disable my Anti-Virus software when copying from CF card. (why have it intercept my files when I know that my Nikon/Canon/etc is virus-free).
(If there is any problem, do a quick look through your copied files and compare them to the listing of the CF card. (Open two Windows, side-by-side, one with a listing of the CF card and the other with a listing of the folder on disc where you copied them. Difference will be easy enough to spot).
Then import your files to Lighroom from your disc.
That is how I do it and it always works.

No wifi solution?

I have no wifi in our house to play Game Center. Can this be my solution alternative? Connect my iphone to my PC (Which is connected to the internet). Then play game center while the iphone is connected to the PC? Its like sharing net connection lol is it allowed?

i dont understand lol

Macbook Keyboard freezing (Possibly a solution)

Hi all
after doing some thinking, I believe I may have found a solution to the Macbook Leopard keyboard issue.
This is what I think maybe possible.
We need a Macbook and then try and copy the Mac OS X Tiger keyboard driver and overwrite the one in Mac OS X Leopard, thus replacing it with a much more stable one, and possibly making it work without the dreaded crashing

Lauraford, you seem to be having a similar problem to many other people here. Check out this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5786564

Intel 5300/5350 Intermittent Wifi Solution - Don't use WEP security!

I recently purchased a Lenovo T400 with the Intel 5350 wireless card (same as the 5300 but with WiMax), and, like a lot of other people on this forum, I could not get the wifi to consistently work. I spent several frustrating days searching these forums and trying pretty much every solution offered (XP 32 bit, Vista 32 bit, Vista 64 bit, w/ & w/out Access Connections, w/ & w/out Intel software, Lenovo drivers vs. Intel drivers, etc.). However, in the end, the solution was totally unrelated.
What I found was that when I was using WEP security on my Linksys WRT54G router (v5 w/ the latest firmware) I could not get wifi to work consistently. In most cases it was hard to get it to work at all. In other cases it might work after a reboot for a few minutes, then stop working again. However, as soon as I either turned off security or changed it to WPA2-Personal, wifi worked like a charm.
I was originally thinking about returning the laptop, since no wifi makes it pretty much unusable. But, with this finding I think I will keep it. Since it is obviously a driver issue, I'm going to assume there will be a driver update in the near future to fix the problem.
Hope this helps some of you who are having the same problems!

That is a fascinating solution to the intermittent mess the Intel cards can go into. Never would have thought secrurity and encryption would affect the performance.
For what it's worth, go into the properties of the wireless card in Device Manager. Go to the Advanced Tab. Set "Roaming Aggressiveness" slider to the lowest, "Power Managment" to lowest, and "Transmit Power" to highest. These were solutiosn that I've run across and fixed the problem for me (I have the regular 5300, hope you will get to use and enjoy WiMax).

Choosing between the diferent wifi solutions

Hello!
In a couple of months i'll be living in my own home, with a new internet configuration. I'll have a cable-modem and a wifi router. Nowadays, althought my laptop have wifi, is always off, as the router is only "wired". As i have no experience with wifi, i'll like ask you for advice.
The 30% of times, i'll be connected to the router with wire. The 65% of times, via wifi, with the normal security configuration to my router. The last 5%, will be wifi connections on open spots out of my home.
So, this is how i'd like to act:
If i'm with wire, the wifi switch will be off. This is the actual situation. No problem. At home, without wire, with wifi on, the laptop would connect automatically without any promps to my "secure home wifi network". Out of home, i'd have a list of wifi spots, select the one i want, and connect. Back at home, as my wifi is back, would connect automatically without any promps, and "forget" the networks i connected to.
With the previous information, which would be the best solution?
I don't mind having to config all what i want via console, but chosing the wifi out of home should be made with a grafical app. By now, gnome, kde... it's the same.
Thanks!

AFAIK networkmanager remember the networks you connected to and connect to them automatically when they are available.
I think that's cool, I tried it, but its frontend brings in a lot of kde or gnome dependencies, so I installed wicd instead (which the wiki stated was quite dependency free)
edit: it looks like the wiki discourages using networkmanager and suggest using network_profiles
