Problem with connecting to free wifi after upgrading to Windows 8.1 from Windows 8

Hi
I had problems with connecting to free Wifi after upgrading my PC(Notebook) to Windows 8.1 from Windows 8. As I travel a lot within europe, I am used to being able to connect to Free Wifi(those that dont need a key or password to enter) but soon after downloading
Windows 8.1 I almost never was able to do this. I'd always get «LIMITED» even though the signal was strong.This was so fustrating,so much so that I reset my PC to clear it of Windows 8.1 and am now back to Windows 8.This is a shame because I was really liking
using Windows 8.1 and if not for this problem(which is a big one) I'd still be using it. If I download Windows 8.1 again from the Windows store what is the probability that I'll have the same problems?
Thanks Portozzygirl

More often than not when a device isn't working it is because the driver has become corrupted. Re-installing a fresh copy should help

  • Problem with connection to University wifi after update

    hi,
    Before the latest os lion update I could use safari easily to connect to my university internet.However, after updating I cannot seem to get the screen where I can input my university username and password. Mail does not either either and when opened under this paradigm it prevents my computer from shutting down.
    When I use firefox I am able to connect to the internet properly.
    Please advise...

    contact university IT deprtment and see what they say.

  • Can't connect ipad to wifi after upgrading to ios6

    can't connect ipad to wifi after upgrading to ios6

    Additional things to try.
    Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi. (This is probably not practical in your situation.)
    On your iPad go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings and see if that enables you to connect.
    If none of the above suggestions work, look at this link.

  • Problems with result area in workbooks after upgrade to BW 3.5

    Hi,
    we are experiencing some problems with our <b>workbooks</b> after the upgrade to BW 3.5. When refreshing all queries in a workbook (that was there before 3.5) without selecting a specific query we get the message <b>'Result area</b> cannot be found, specify a new one'. After selecting, the message appears again in an infinite loop.
    Has anybody had similar problems and has found a solution for this?
    Thanks,
    EMS

    Hi,
    I am having that message, always if I delete a Sheet which contains an embeded query.
    Even the sheet is deleted, the SAPBEX has information of all the embeded queries, and tries to find the Result area to put the data.
    To find out if this is your case as well,
    select an empty cell in a Sheet and continue like that, until all the embeded queries are been displayed.

  • Problem with PO text in ME22 after upgrade

    Hi,
    I face an issue in Purchase Order Text. We have recently done the upgrade from SAP 4.6 C to SAP ECC 6.0. Before upgrade, the users were entering required texts in ME22 transaction for each item and select the check button available. All the text types ticked here are carried forward and printed on the Delivery output.
    After upgrade, this tick is removed from all the existing documents and also for the new POu2019s users select this button and save it. But, when they come back and see it in change mode ME22, the tick is not available. Because of this issue, these texts are not printed in delivery outputs now.
    I have checked this problem in SAP. No relevant notes are available. Has anyone faced this issue before? Can you please throw some light on the same?
    Thanks and Regards
    Vijayakrishna

    Hi
    Please, see these notes
    Note 751441 - Consulting: Settings for texts from purchase order
    Note 53593 - Q&A - Delivery text from stock transfer order
    Note 417883 - Texts from purchase order
    and related notes. They talk about how to copy text from PO to delivery (for instance, in SC, STO and so on). It's related with some customizing steps in VOTXN and some VOFM subroutines that perhaps they are lost after the upgrade.
    I hope this help you
    Regards

  • Problem with scanning in Photoshop CS6 after upgrading to Mountain Lion

    After upgrading to latest version of Mountain Lion i've got a problem with scanning directly into Photoshop CS6.
    on the previous Lion version when I wanted to scan something, i just opened Photoshop -> File -> Import -> images from device
    then a new window opened up the ImageCapture app where I could choose the device I wanted to use, and then I selected the scanner (Canon CanoScan 8400F) and I could scan directly into photoshop.
    Now with Mountain Lion when I do the exact same thing, it opens a window, but it's impossible to select any device, as the new window is just a plain white window, with 2 buttons on top to rotate something that isn't there. (text is in dutch, cause I'm from the Netherlands)
    hope someone can help me out.
    I can scan with the use of the ImageCapture app without problems and then save that picture and open it in Photoshop, but it has worked before, so am I doing something wrong? or is this just a little bug
    thnx in advance for the help

    I’m having the same problem with my Epson Perfection 3200 Photo scanner and Adobe Photoshop CS6. It does the initial overview scan then I get the same blank window as BigNoud shows above. I've done a Software Update and have also updated OSX to 10.8.1.
    I know for the Epson you can get a Mountain Lion compatible scan software from SilverFast for about $35.00 as an upgrade here.
    I haven't gone that route yet as I don't want to give up any more money for my Apple/Adobe experience.
    Any help would be appreciated.

  • Problem with ADF Security / SQL Authenticator after upgrade to 11.1.1.6

    Hi,
    We have an ADF application built with JDeveloper 11.1.1.2 that's been in production for a couple of years. Now we are in the process of upgrading to 11.1.1.6 so I have upgraded WLS and ADF in a test environment and re-deployed the application there. The application uses users and groups from database using SQL Authenticator configured in WLS. This worked fine in the old version but now after the upgrade we can't log in with credentials from the database. I can log in if I add a user to the default authenticator. We didn't touch any of the authenticator settings or security realm configurations during the upgrade. Both authenticators are marked as SUFFICIENT, as they have always been.
    Has something changed in the way SQL Authenticator is used since 11.1.1.2? What could be the problem?
    Regards,
    Joonas

    Answering myself here: after recreating the SQL Authenticator and the ADF Security configuration logins are working again. Don't know where the problem was though.

  • Has anyone been having problems with bluetooth in Macbook PRO after upgrading to Mavericks?

    Hello,
    Ever since I upgrade my 13inch (early 2011) Macbook PRO to OS X Mavericks I have been experiencing problems with bluetooth connectivity. Suddenly my Magic Mouse stops working and I cannot connect it back. Also I try turning off the bluetooth function but is not possible. The only workaround I have found is to restart the system.
    I appreciate any help.

  • I have a big problem with Lion and PGP. After upgrading from snow leopard to lion I cannot access my PGP drive which was generated under snow leopard. PGP does not start but gives a notion that lion cannot work with my PGP version. Solution?

    After upgrading from Snow Leopard to Lion I cannot access a PGP drive which was generated under snow leopard. PGP does not start. When I try to start I just receive a message that Lion cannot work with PGP. How can I now access important and confifential informatio which I have stored in PGP (snow leopard). Do I have to move back to snow leopard. If so, how can I do this? 

    If you have this product,

  • Problems with Camera Raw 6.7 after upgrading to OS 10.8

    I've been using Photoshop CS 5 with Camera Raw 6.7 on my MacBook Pro with no issues until I recently upgraded to OS 10.8. Now my Canon CR2 files (shot with a Canon G15) won't open.  Does anyone know of a solution or work-around for this problem? 

    thanks for the prompt response...i appreciate it.  according to the link you listed, that's correct.  the strange thing is that prior to the upgrad to mac os 10.8.4, photoshop CS5 was working just fine and i was able to open my canon raw files with my current camera raw plug-in version 6.7 which adobe has indicated is the last camera raw update they'll be offering for cs 5
    so it's clearly an issue related to the "upgrade" of the os.  seems like every solution creates 6 new problems...further evidence for the notion that if it ain't broke don't fix it!  thanks again.

  • Problems with Office 2011 for mac after upgrading to Mountain Lion

    Office 2011 for mac worked fine with Lion on my MacBook Air.  I had been having some problems with my computer freezing and crashing, so the folks at the Genius Bar wiped my computer clean and installed Mountain Lion for me. 
    I have full backups (Time Machine) from before the wipe on my external hard drive, but I was told not to restore from the backup, that I should drag and drop files instead.  I was also told to re-install any program for which I had the disk.  I reinstalled Office 2011 via the disk.
    Two major problems followed:
    1.     I lost all my old emails (I use Mail).  Even rebuilding the library or trying to restore them from Time Machine don't get them back. 
    2.     Word and Excel don't seem to recognize me anymore.  I can pull up and modify an old document or workbook, but I cannot "save" my changes.  I have to hit "save as." That's a pain, but there's a worse problem.
    I have no trouble saving these "save as" versions to my desktop or to my Documents file.  But I cannot save them anywhere else — even to the folder where I found the original document.  I get a message that I don't have the necessary permissions to access or modify the folders. I'm asked to authenticate, and I do, but that doesn't seem to do anything. 
    I tried Get Info on the workbooks and documents, and I'm clearly granted Read and Write permission. 
    I've done a permissions repair via Disk Utility.  There were some things to repair, but it didn't solve my problem. 
    I know I can move all documents to an external hard drive and then recreate all the folders, saving all the documents and workbooks "as" but it seems a huge amount of work.  Can anybody suggest an easier route or how to get my email history?

    You may need to rebuild permissions on your user account. To do this,boot to your Recovery partition (holding down the Command and R keys while booting) and open Terminal from the Utilities menu. In Terminal, type:  'resetpassword' (without the 's) and select the admin user. You are not going to reset your password. Click on the icon for your Macs hard drive at the top. From the drop down below it select the user account which is having issues. At the bottom of the window, you'll see an area labeled Restore Home Directory Permissions and ACLs. Click the reset button there. The process takes a few minutes. When complete, restart.

  • Problems with Apple Address Book Sync after upgrading BBDesktop s/w. Also, no more Rogers support - abandoned customer

    I just upgraded my BB Desktop Software but now have a sync error - details show that over 800 entries need to be synced.
    When I look at 'details', the 'before' shows a phone number field called "Main Fax" the 'after' shows a phone number field called "Other", with the same phone number targeted.
    There are a handful of other syncs such as address blank in 'before' and completed in 'after.  I found these by just scrolling down the list with my down arrow and scanning the 'before' entries as they flew by. 
    There seems to be no way for me to manually choose which of the 'before' and 'after' I'd like to have.
    Worst of all, I called Rogers for sync support, as I have done for years.  Guess what? They've stopped supporting anything but their actual network connections, but didn't bother to tell their customers.  There I was in a 'user down' situation, late for an appointment (missed it totally thanks to this), and they were telling me the most they can do is send an e-mail. or have me *pay* for the support that used to be free, selling me a 'premium support' package. Yikes!
    So I clicked 'sync later' on the address book, and am looking for help before I try another sync tomorrow.
    For example, ideas to help me manually over-ride the data field mapping from 'Main Fax' to 'Fax' in Blackberry Desktop Software.
    Anyone have any ideas?  Much appreciated!
    I live in Canada, by the way, so if you are a Rogers customer in Canada, take note of their change in support.
    Thank God I did  a backup before I upgraded my Blackberry Desktop Software.
