Power Spike Threw My Network? PLEASE HELP!!!

Tuesday night we had a power spike that seems to have killed my network. I wanted to know has this happened tpo anyone else and if so how did you fix it. My problem is this,my ISP is Mediacom, I have a 10 MB connection, a Linksys WRT54GS V7 firmware 7.50.2 and I cannot get anything to connect to my wireless network. My pc that is wired into my router is fine. Getting good connection. I also have a Playstation 3 that connects wireless, Xbox 360 that connects wireless through a Linksys WGA54G, a pc that connects trough a Belkin wireless desktop card, and a Nintendo Wii that also connects wireless. Now Tuesday during the day everything was connected and fine. Wednesday I woke up to find that everything on my network had reset themselves and would no longer connect to the existing network. So I tried to reset everything on a new network. I couldn't get anything to connect. I replaced my router with the same model number and upgraded the firmware to v7.50.2. I called Mediacom and they reset my internet connection saying that my "modem was getting too many signals form my electronics and not my router"(?). Everything came up fine only to go down after about 5 mins (right after I tried to connect my PS3). Afterwards I called Mediacom back had them reset my connection and only tried my pc. It would connect but it would say little or no connectivity. Called Linksys support and a nice lady named Marie told me to change my from TKIP to AES change my channel to 11 and so forth and so on. It worked for about 5 mins and went down again. I called them back and again they changed my channel and lower my MTU. This time it would work but it was incredibly slow. Now I have no idea what to do and am quickly coming to my wit's end. Please help.

I dunno dude. This is killing me. Mediacom won't help me because they don't support in home networks. I have never had a problem before now. I had the original router for almost a year. Power spikes are quite common throughout this area and it was always fine. Now all of a sudden I have this. I dunno what to do. I need all the help that I can get. I have never had a problem with any of my Linksys products. Just run the CD and plug in everything and I'm online. Simple. Lately I have seen more of my admin screen than I had ever hoped to.

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
To reset the iPod without the hardware buttons,
- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings. All your wifi and bluetooth preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected. You will have to rejoin wifi networks and repair BT devices
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Very Odd Problem connecting to network please help

Ok so I have had my Macbook Pro for a while and I have both an Airport Extreme and an Airport Express in my room. So until recently I could turn on my computer and my Airport would automatically connect to the internet. Now recently I turn on or open my computer and I can still see my network but I cannot connect to it. I have restarted all the devices and my computer, but the only thing that eventually logs me on (after anywhere between 5 minutes - an hour) is waiting. But the second I close my laptop I will get booted off the Internet and I cannot connect again.
However I can still see the network I just cannot connect to it.
Also another problem I have noticed is that when in Network Setup Assistant it asks me for the password for the network, and I have entered this password many times in my life for my iPhone and for my other devices. And yet recently when I input the correct password (ive tried over 100 times) I get a message saying that the password is incorrect, when I know for a fact that I am putting the right password in.
If anyone could please help me I would be very grateful.

The Airport Extreme base station has 2 passwords, one for logging into the router, the other for your network access (assuming you have security switched on). Just make sure you are trying to enter the correct password (I know this sounds obvious and no offense is meant).
If you added the Extreme to your other router, make sure in Airport utility the Extreme is set to Bridge Mode, this will remove any incompatibility issues with 2 devices trying to obtain IP addresses from your ISP. Only one router should connect to your ISP, using password, username and relevant settings, the other is a bridge for your internal network allowing faster transfers between devices connected to say for example your extreme.
I have a Netgear DG834PN modem/router which is assigned control to connect to my ISP (as it is a modem, the Extreme Base Station isn't a modem). The Apple Extreme is connected through ethernet to the Netgear. I have all my 802.11g/b/a devices connected through the Netgear wireless network (2.4Ghz) and all my 802.11n devices connected through the Apple Extreme Base Station wireless network ('n' only @5Ghz). I also have my Mac Pro and my AppleTV connected through gigabit ethernet (through the Extreme ethernet). Everything works well. AppleTV and Mac Pro sync very quickly, my MacBook Pro connects to other computers or devices (AppleTV for streaming content) within the Apple Extreme network, wired or wireless, and allows fast transfer speeds, especially with no g/b/a devices slowing things up.
I also have a USB hub connected to the Extreme with USB printer attached and additional external storage connected, both available throughout the Extreme network to either wired or wireless devices.
It sounds a bit complicated but it is really easy to do.

Problem with NEW H520 when installed new power supply & graphic card. Please help!

My H520 was working perfectly and was running FAST..especially when rebooting. ( It was AWESOME! )Then I installed a new power supply (Coolmax 400w) and a new graphic card (Sapphire Radeon HD6450) and then everything changed. Now my computer is booting very SLOWLY and all the programs are taking a long time to load too. I was getting a black screen for almost a full 2 minutes before the windows 8.0 screen would finally load up and then it hangs there for a few seconds and finally goes to the start screen in windows. But BEFORE I installed this new hardware, when I would reboot, I would see the Lenovo splash screen come up for a few short seconds and then it instantly went to the windows welcome screen. And even then I would barely have enough time to see the welcome screen before it instantly loaded into the windows start screen. Everything would load up fast on the desktop too and we'd be good to go. It all took about 30 SECONDS.
But now? It takes MINUTES to get everything going. After it FINALLY loads up (it takes almost 2 full minutes now!), everything hangs up. When you first click on the desktop, it takes a few seconds for all of the icons to pop up. Before I loaded the new hardware, everything loaded up instantly. I didn't even see the icons load because they were already there. But now I have to wait for them to load up before I can even see them. And it's like that with every program and web browser I try to use now. Everything hangs up at first and then finally loads. The programs work but they are sluggish.
So I uninstalled the new power supply and put back in the original 280w power supply and I took out the graphic card but it did no change. The machine is STILL running slow on everything it does and booting very slowly.
I have seen this problem mentioned elsewhere about Lenovo computers but there is never a solution. Please help! It took me a long time to save up for this computer and I have been babying it ever since. I will never be able to afford a new one or pay for tech repair. I need to fix this! I was so thrilled with this computer before the hardware upgrade. This is devastating to me that it is working so poorly now when all I was trying to do was upgrade it a little bit.    Now it's performing horribly and it's only 6 months old.
I ran a four hour test on the hard drive and it is fine. I ran all the system clean ups, optimizations, registry cleanups, windows disk cleaner, defragger and virus scans. Nothing is showing up as not working but there is CLEARLY a problem. It was never this slow.   And why is it STILL acting this slow even after I uninstalled all of the new hardware that made it start acting this way and went back to the original setup?
I'm trying to run a memory test on it now but the BIOS will NOT allow me to select another drive to boot from so I can't boot from the flash drive or CD drive to run the memory test. I have NO IDEA what to do next and I am starting to pull my hair out in frustration.
Please, is there anything that can be done to make it better again?
Any help would be HUGELY appreciated. Thank you!
Sincerely,
Jennifer

I totally give up!! I restored everything to the ORIGINAL state with drivers AND hardware and STILL everything is not working properly like it was BEFORE the upgrade.
So this has been the WORST experience with Tech support EVER!! I have spent DAYS on the phone for HOURS with these technicians and nobody seems to know what they are doing. They put me on hold every 10 minutes and are gone for 10 to 15 minutes and when they come back, they seem all set on a new solution but when you ask them questions about it, they have NO CLUE how to answer and then they put you on hold again. Nothing gets solved and after HOURS on the phone, I just tell them to stop because we are getting no where but running around in circles that make no sense. THIS A NIGHTMARE!!
So I totally gave up on being able to upgrade this machine. To any future buyers, I STRONGLY recommend you do all upgrading BEFORE you get it home for the first time. Make sure you have your power supply and graphic card INCLUDED before you bring it home or you're mostly likely going to have a NIGHTMARE upgrading it later.    Technical support is a HORROR STORY and expect to be WAITING for LOOOOONNNNG periods of time both ON THE PHONE and ONLINE and probably ending up with NO SOLUTION in the end.
I've VERY upset with how this turned out!! I'm just gonna have to deal with the fact that my computer is permenantly messed up and NOBODY AT LENOVO knows how to fix it. So I'm stuck.
I decided to send back the new power supply and the new graphic card because of this nightmare with tech support. I put everything back to the way it was when I bought the computer and it is STILL acting up!! I just want to revert it back to factory settings .. INCLUDING THE BIOS... but Lenovo said I have to send the WHOLE computer back to them to do that. All I can do from home is restore from a point in the hard drive and that's not enough. I need a TOTAL CLEAN INSTALL. Everything needs to be wiped out and reset, not just restored to a previous restore point. I've done this multiple times and all it does is erase all the programs and stuff I put on the computer. The drivers and other codes are still the same. And then bugs come up and things get all wonky. I NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM BEFORE I TRIED TO UPGRADE IT!!
I am NOT comfortable with Lenovo's "solution". I do NOT want to send my computer back to them for them to reset it with factory disks ESPECIALLY when they stated that they are NOT responsible for any damage in transport or otherwise. I have to buy extra packaging to make sure it gets there safely. They told me to use the original box and packaging, that is the only way they can be sure it will get there safe. Who has the original stuffing SIX MONTHS LATER?!?! I don't want to be sending my computer across the country to get jostled all over the place and have that add to the slowness of the hardware because it was jostled.
Can't I reset it from home? Can they not send ME the disks instead of me sending my whole computer to them?
I'm so incredibly frustrated with this. I hope somebody answers quickly and that I don't have to wait DAYS to get a response again.
I absolutely LOVED my Lenovo computer! And then I tried to upgrade it. BIG MISTAKE!! Now everything is totally messed up and Lenovo's customer support for technical problems is HORRID!!
Somebody please help. This is driving me crazy with frustration and totally breaking my heart. It took me a VERY long time to save up for this computer and it was my most loved possession. It was a reward for a lot of hard times and now it's all broken and acting slow. And it's only 6 months old.
Is there a solution to this very frustrating problem?
I just want it to go back to the way it was before.
And is there a very low cost KNOWN TO WORK WITH THIS MACHINE upgraded graphic card and power supply? Is there a very specific brand and make? If so, could you let me know what it is in case I try to upgrade it again someday?
Thank you for your time and for reading this!
Please have a FANTASTIC day today!!

Mac mini g4 power pc won't download please help I'm new mac

I have used Mac mini g4 2005 run Mac os x 10.3.7 but I can't Download. I don't know why is my forts Mac and I think sale because I don't know how download and also won't open YouTube too please help thanks how configure please thanks

Thanks for the suggestions.
I did try the DIMMs one at a time, plus in pairs, and no luck.
But I think you were on to something about trying a different CD. I don't have the System CD for this machine, nor do I have a System 9 CD. I had tried an OS X 10.3 installation CD and a Disk Warrior CD, but those wouldn't work. I did find an Apple Extended Care CD (which had a version of TechTools on it) that I got with my Powerbook, and lo and behold, the G4 started up off of that! So I turned off the machine, connected the hard drive again and restarted. It booted up off the hard drive and I was able to connect to the network and everything.
But then I got greedy. I thought whatever was wrong was now magically fixed (magic being my most relied upon Apple repair tool) and popped all the RAM back in. Turned it on, kernel panic. Darn. Took the RAM back out, turned it on, kernel panic. Uh-oh. So I put the RAM back in and tried to start it off the Extended Care CD again. It started up OK from the CD. Then I tried to boot from the hard disk again, and it booted up just fine, no problems at all. I had to reset the clock, but everything works.
So I still don't know what's going on with the machine. Maybe it was the battery after all, but it couldn't boot until something was reset. It's a mystery, I guess.

Airport Extreme setup problems on existing WDS network - Please help!

I just bought a Time Capsule and have setup a WDS network for the house. The Airport Express joins the network just fine as a remote WDS device. I cannot get the Airport Extreme (v5.7) to join the same network. It just continues to make a *separate network with the same name* despite the Channel being the same, the WDS being set to remote, and the main ID of the Time Capsule has been put in correctly. In other words, since I setup the airport Express correctly, I cannot figure out for the life of me why the Airport Extreme is not joining correctly.
PLEASE HELP. I've been trying this for 6 hours now and countless total restarts by hard resets of all the equipment.

Hello arthung. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
Let's double-check your WDS setup ...
(Note: To facilitate the WDS set up, place the base stations within near proximity of each other during the set up phase, and then relocate them to their desired locations when complete. Also, jot down the AirPort IDs for each of the base stations to be used in the WDS.)
o Perform a "hard" reset on the Time Capsule (TC) and a "hard" reset on the 802.11b/g AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS).
Main Base Station Setup - TC
o Click the AirPort status menu in the menu bar and choose the wireless network created by the TC.
o Open AirPort Utility.
o Select the TC, and then, choose Manual Setup from the Base
Station menu.
o Click Wireless in the toolbar, and then choose “Participate in a WDS network” from the Wireless Mode pop-up menu.
o Click WDS and then choose “WDS main” from the WDS Mode pop-up menu.
o Select the “Allow wireless clients” checkbox if you want client computer to connect to this base station.
o Click the Add "+" button and enter the AirPort ID of the AX.
o Click Update to send the new settings to the base stations in the WDS.
Remote Base Station Setup - AEBS
o Click the AirPort status menu in the menu bar and choose the wireless network created by the AX.
o Open AirPort Utility.
o Select the AX, and then, choose Manual Setup from the Base Station menu.
o Click AirPort in the toolbar and click Wireless. Choose “Participate in a WDS network” from the Wireless Mode pop-up menu, and choose the same channel as the main base station from the Channel pop-up menu.
o Click WDS and choose “WDS remote” from the pop-up menu.
o Enter the AirPort ID of the main base station in the WDS Main field.
o Click Update to transfer the settings to the base station.

Can't connect my Ipod Touch 2nd gen to home wireless network - please help

I have just received a 2G ipod touch today and it will not connect to my home network. I have a SKY Netgear router with numerous devices wirelessly connected with WPA security. I have input the shared network key when my Ipod asks for a password but it will not connect (even if I am stood next to my router). I just get "Unable to join the network .........". I have tried connecting via the 'other' network route but still the same result. Please help.

Here's a few things you can do to get to the bottom of the problem:
- Have you ever connected to a public hotspot? The only reason I ask is this will rule out hardware problems. If you are not close to anything, download and install the free app WiFinder from the app store. Once you have the app installed, you see what networks are around you. If nothing is working, contact Apple and either visit the Genius Bar or return it Apple.
- If you have disabled encryption in your router and you are still be prompted for a password, you need to tap on that network name and tap Forget Network. And to really make sure everything is cleaned out, go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network settings.
- After your iPod restarts, use WiFinder to find your network. WiFinder will tell you whether or not you have encryption on or off and the type of encryption used. If it is still off, just tap the Connect button. If you have turned it back on, go to Settings > WiFi > Other network and enter your network name. You will be prompted for your encryption scheme and your password. WPA and WPA2 should have a password entered. WEP should have the hex key entered.
- If you still can't connect, I would check and reenter my password. Passwords are case sensitive.
- Assuming you have connected, tap the blue arrow (>) next to your network name. You should see your IP address, subnet mask, router IP address, and DNS router addresses, you are good to go.
- If you have an IP address of 169.x.x.x, your router is not supplying an IP address. Recommend router settings are:
SSID - on
DHCP - on
MAC filtering - off
Encryption - on and set to WPA or WPA2
DNS - automatic from ISP
Let us know what happens.

" Compatibility issues with power management. on g50 45 . please help.

LENOVO G50-45my BIOS is up to date and I updated my power management system just yesterday. The battery also drains very quickly , just 90 minutes. Please help.I am getting this problem since a week now. and my battery drains so quickly even when on power saver mode. when i click on the message , I get no solution although my laptop is connected to internet it says , its not connected.And when i click on it , it says , Now if I click " View all problem this applies to , it says a different thing, there are two things saying the sam thing, driver software installation. wheni click one of them it says, " Pnp driver not found" PLEASE HELP. Thank you. I want my power manageent system back.

You should check your startup drive as a starting point, if programs are crashing regularly. That's obviously not "normal." Run +Repair Disk Permissions+ in Disk Utility while started up normally. Then, start up from another disc and run Disk Utility to use the +Repair Disk+ on the startup drive, to look for disk directory issues (you can startup from the Mac OS X installation disc to run Disk Utility).
When this happens, Force Quit doesn't do anything. Any other options?
You can start the Activity Monitor program and quit processes that look relevant to the app. Sometimes, force quit does not work to quit an app because an underlying process keeps running. Sometimes, the Mac is not able to restart or shutdown normally because an app refuses to quit, due to this problem. It is often difficult to know if you should kill a process, so after doing it to make an app quit, it would be a good idea to restart.

Internet Not Working on 3rd Party Network (Please help!!!)

Hey guys,
Cool forum. Hopefully cool enough to solve this weird problem.
I own a BlackBerry Tour and live in Sweden part of the year. Since I put the 3rd party SIM in my phone and activated the account, I cannot get internet to work. I can use BIS services etc., but browsing the internet does not work....when I try it says "Could not connect tog the internet, please try again".
The weird thing is that sometimes I can browse google etc. through the BlackBerry Help! app...but other apps don't work. I'm thinking maybe it has to do with APN settings?
PLEASE HELP!!!!
Mitchell
Ps! BTW, I have tried all the usuals....resetting, pulling battery, resending service books, host routing tables...the problem is with WAP, not BIS.

Hi !
Don't panic yet
I think you didn't select the Flash with SFCommand in the HTML tab inside the Template dropdown menu, that's the reason your Actions Scripts doesn't work in the html view.
To access hold down CTRL+SHIFT+F12--->HTML tab--->The first dropdown menu at the top
Hope this solve your problem.

My iPhone 3G won't turn off, Evertime I hold the Power Button all it does is Blink the screen white until I stop holding it (It won't show Slide to Power off) just Blinks white, Please help me its really fustruating! Regards-Jimmy

Please Help!

Are you running the Apple-supplied RAM? Have you run Apple Hardware Test? I don't know what else you've tried, but this may be time to do a fresh install of Lion if you have not done so since installing Lion.
