Problem with WiFi after installing Windows 7

Hi, i am using a Mac book White(newer model) and recently installed Windows 7 Professional(x86). When running windows 7, the WiFi is not working, meaning that it does not even detect any wireless connections when there are like more than 10 in my area. However, when running the Mac OS, i can connect to my home connection and view the rest of the connections. Now i am being forced to use the wired connection every time i wan to use the internet using the windows 7 OS. I troubleshooted, and they asked me to update my driver. But still it is not working.
Is there a solution to my problem, it is greatly appreciated

I had the same problem last night. Boot into OSX and reboot the router - fine. Boot into Windows and wrong. Here were my fixes:
Firstly, I kept all the settings on my router solid. Just leave them as they are. Boot into OSX and check the Network settings and make a note of your IP address and the router's IP address.
Second, boot into Windows, then open up your wireless connection settings and navigate through to the properties where you can set the IP address.
Third: Set the IP address to your routers IP address changing the last set of digits to a value between 5 and 255 (I have 8 devices so I set the last two digits to 10.) This will keep the IP static.
Tab through the Mask settings to default those.
Then set the default gateway to your router's IP address.
Check that the Network Adapter's setting has IPv6 disabled (uncheck the box)
Finally: Set the primary DNS server to 8.8.8.8 then the secondary to 8.8.4.4 and then reboot the router.
That's what got my connection running.

Problems with iWeb, after installing Lion

Hi,
Ever since I installed Lion, I have been having problems with iWeb. Any changes I make in iWeb, and then publish to my site, via mobileme, are not saved, and the site reverts to the orignial site, after closing the website, and iWeb also loses the cahnges. I am unable to sue the Publish Site button, and the option for Publish Site changes is not available.
I am using iLife 11.
These problems have only occurred since I installed Lion.
Any help greatly appreciated.

In Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
For opening your domain file in Lion or to switch between multiple domain files Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with Script Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an application.
do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"delay 1
tell application "iWeb" to activate
Just launch the application, find and select the domain file you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
You can download an already compiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain.
WARNING: iWeb Switch Domain will overwrite an existing Domain.sites2 file if you select to create a new domain in the same folder. So rename your domain files once they've been created to something other than the default name.

Problems with MBP after installing smcfancontrol

I decided to install smcfancontrol because the computer was getting a bit hot after installing extra ram. Right after installing the software I encountered problems. It was not responsive and when it does, the fans would stay at its minimum rpm even after heavy load. I uninstall the software and the problem is still there. Fan's rpm will not increase as temperature rises.
I experimented by booting into windows and ran a game and I noticed that the fans were going faster. But when I reboot back into os X it doesn't reboot at all, I get the boot sound but it doesn't load and the screen is dark. I would have to press the power button to shut it off and turn it on again. I then decided to reinstall os X and to my dismay, the problem is still there!
Any Suggestions?

booted with install cd, ran the hardware diagnostic program and everything came out good. The fans rpm was higher as I was running the diagnostic program. I assume that firmware is not corrupted and it has more to do with the OS. Btw, is it normal for the computer to run at 60c and have the fan run at around 2000rpms? Is it possible to have some traces of the old OS left after a fresh install?
Edit: I got the computer to run in heavy load and after the cpu temp got to 65c the fans started kicking in. Guess it's back to normal. I was used to seeing the fan start running faster at around 60c

Problem with MMC after installing ARGO

Hello,
after installing ARGO I got in trouble with my Microsoft SAPMMC control panel. It does not working properly anymore. The MMC is not reponding when clicking yes for the question of converting the data to the new mmc version.
I have already installed one portal NW04s and three portals NW04.
Has anyone an idea how to solve this issue?
Thanks.
Best Regards,
Olaf Reiss

Hi Olaf,
maybe there is something wrong with your sapmmc.msc configuration. You can try to create a new one by following these steps:
Start mmc.exe
Choose File -> Add/Remove Snap in... -> Standalone tab -> Add...
Select SAP Systems Manager
Place a checkmark into all checkboxes in the General Settings window and select Use fixed SAP Instance list. Press Next
Select Remote Administration Communication Security level "Low" and press Next
Press Finish
If this does not help, you could try switching off Always show local SAP instances at the fourth step above and add the instances manually in the Fixed instance list (last step).
Finally, save your new MMC configuration.
Hopefully this solves the problem.
Regards,
Dirk

Problem with network after installing Parallels

I decided I wanted to try installing Windows 7 on Boot Camp and then downloaded a trial of Parallels 4 and installed the Boot Camp partition in Parallels. Everything seemed to be working fine at first but since doing that I cannot connect to Mozy to do my backup any more. My Parallels trial has now expired and I have uninstalled it and also uninstalled Windows 7 on Boot Camp but I can still not connect with Mozy. It gets stuck on "Communicating with servers" and won't go any further.
Is it possible that Boot Camp or Parallels changed something in my network settings? Everything else in my network works except for Mozy. It is very frustrating because I paid for a 2-year subscription to Mozy and now I can't use it.
Thanks for any advice.

Hi ,
After this please try to check the protocol which bounded properly .
If it is normal and still can not access outside as you mentioned above , please try to open the device manager -->
view --> show hidden devices --> then try to remove all the devices under network adapters
(I would recommend you to note the driver files' path in the properties of physical NIC in device manager --> tab
driver --> driver details , try to delete the file after remove the NIC in device manage )
Then restart your computer , install your NIC driver and retry .
Best Regards

conclude that the problem is in the driver manufacturer. Thanks for all and good luck.

Ipad mini problem with wifi after update 6.1.3

Hello!
My ipad mini was working fine before the 6.1.3 upgrade, immediately after updating, the wifi stopped working. Restore the iPad to its factory settings as deleting both my data and to reintroduce the network, was still not working.
Help please!

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Some other things to try:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

My problems with WiFi after 10.5.8 update (and how I solved them)

Hi, I also had problems getting online after last Leopard update. First I tried to delete all network related preferences (as posted here http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=9965959#9965959) but soon the problem reappeared.
I need to connect to 2 different routers, one at home and another at the office. After doing what I said in my previous post (see above), I managed to connect to one OR the other, but not both. I had to delete my home config when I was at the office, and the other way around at home. (i.e. I only could connect when only ONE network was configured in Airport preferred networks).
After some trying, I realized both of my router had their SSID hidden. I then broadcasted my home router SSID and, voilà, everything's fine.
Hope this will help some of you getting around this nasty bug.
Regards.

Had issues with my WiFi router too, after upgrading my MacBook Pro 13" to 10.5.8. Not sure we're talking about the same issues, but my MacBook connected to my WiFi network, had also a IP address, but couldn't connect to any host, nor on the local network neither outside.
After reading your post I tried to remove the network completely from the list of known networks and to set it up from scratch. Seems it works now...
Thanks,
Thomas

Has anyone experienced problems with Outlook after installing Mavericks?

Has anyone else experienced problems using Microsoft Outlook after installing Mavericks? The computer seems to want to continue reloading emails.

RobertRTillman wrote:
1. Apple has removed sync services in OS X Mavericks. Therefore, you cannot sync Outlook 2011 with Contacts or Calendar.
2. Apple has removed the ability to sync through iTunes in OS X Mavericks, so that, even if you use Contacts and Calendar on the Mac, you can only sync them with your iPhone through iCloud, thus exposing all your contacts and calendar information to the mercies of the Web.
3. Microsoft does not not support CalDAV and CardDAV in Outlook, so there is no way to sync directly through iCloud, except perhaps by setting up a Microsoft Exchange account.
4. Apple makes it extremely difficult (virtually impossible) to revert to a version of OSX that is earlier than OS X Mavericks once Mavericks is installed.
In short, we are screwed and neither company seems to care.
In fact Microsoft does support Cal and CardDav in Outlook, just not in the Mac version of Outlook.
Reverting back from Mavericks requires nothing more than a backup of the system to restore from, if you do not elect to make backups that is a choice, but I would venture that it is a bad choice.

Problem with chess after installing Leopard

The other week I did an Archive and Install of Leopard on my MacBookPro running Tiger. Several applications failed to work following the install and this has been solved by downloading new versions. Although chess seems to be more problematic. Every time I launch chess I just get a message saying that chess has unexpectedly quit. However this behaviour is starting to become expectable. I have read other posts reporting similar problems after installing Leopard however they are able to play a couple of moves before it quits. For me chess does not even launch.
I have tried trashing the preference file, creating and using a new user account, and copying chess from another computer. The copied application just states that I can not use chess with this version of OSX.
Does anyone have any ideas as I really do not want to have to reinstall Leopard just for a application I only use when very bored (which is surprisingly often).
Thanks for any help you can give.
Chuck

Thanks for pointing out that app. Very useful indeed.
I have deleted my copy of chess and reinstalled a new copy from the OSX Leopard install disk and it still fails to launch.
Any other ideas?

Problems with Recordset after install MX Site Search extension

Hi guys,
After install the MX Site Search extension in my Dreamweaver
8, i can't create Recordset. I press the button and nothig is
happen. I already uninnstall the extension, dreamweaver and
continue same problem.
Please i need fix this problem.
Help me!

Sounds to me like the extension overwrote the Dreamweaver
recordset code.
Extension developers should never never do that .. but a few
do
unfortunately.
If you're on a windows machine, try going to C:\Documents and
Settings\yourname\Application Data\Macromedia\Dreamweaver 8\
and throw away
the User Configuration folder. The next time Dreamweaver is
opened, it will
generate a new User Configuration folder for you (make sure
you have your
extensions saved somewhere as it will be a clean
configuration folder) and
you should be all right.
If the main recordset code was overwritten, you will have no
choice but to
uninstall DW8 and reinstall it from a CD or fresh download.

Problems with Finder after installing 10.5.8

After upgrading to 10.5.8 update, couple of very basic things are not working correctly in Finder..
1. Pressing Cmd+A from keyboard no longer does a select all. However, doing same by clicking menu option works. This is not a problem with my keyboard because pressing cmd+A works fine in other applications like TextEdit.
2. Unable to type anything into the search bar embedded in Finder window. However, searching by clicking the spotlight magnifying glass icon still works.
Anyone else having same problems? Any way to fix these issues?

The problem seem to have resolved automatically after system reboot. (p.s. The system had already rebooted after the update). If the problem repeats, I will run the disk utility and see if it helps.

Problems with flash after installing studio 8

I have used firefox for months now with no problem.
My web site has an intro page that is flash. I installed studio 8
and now the flash won't work. What happened. I works on my laptop
with IE and no studio 8. suggestions. I've tried uninstalling, but
not sure if I ever got it uninstalled... in fact some of the
programs never let me have the choice to uninstall. I reloaded
firefox... nothing seem to be working ... Help

Faith Coach;
What version of the flash player did you have installed in
firefox
previous to installing studio 8? The only cause for a site to
fail in
firefox after installing the studio that comes to my mind is
that the studio
installation updated your flash player and your site has
issues with that
version of the player. If that is the case, you would need to
look into what
is causing the site to fail in more recent versions of the
player since your
site visitors may also be experiencing this problem--rather
than looking for
a problem on your system. Posting a url to your site would
allow others here
to test it--helping to determine whether the problem is
specific to your
system.

Anyone else having problems with Mail after installing Mountain Lion?

Since upgrading to mountain lion, I have had a number of problems with Mail. At the moment, it is predominantly when my desktop imac goes to sleep overnight. In the morning, it will not receive mail. The app will not close, so I force quit it. Trying to reopen Mail after that just does not happen, so I have to restart my machine to get things going again. Any tips?

If 10.7.0 or later...
Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partitirion & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.
If that doesn't help Reinstall the OS.
