Problems connecting to Internet using Airport - can anyone help ?
I'm using a MacBook running OSX 10.4.11, trying to connect to internet using Airport. I connected OK first time, but after powering off the Mac, each time I now try to connect again, the Mac can't find the network. Network Diagnostics can't fix it either. I use a Linksys wireless router, connected to an ADSL modem. I use PPPoE. I live in Borneo, and the line connection is not great, occasionally the phone line drops out and then modem reconnects itself, I wonder whether this is causing some sort of problem with IP settings. The only way I can connect wirelessly is to start the Mac, reboot the modem, then the router, and plough through Network Diagnostics. A real pain. Help much appreciated.
I have a Linksys Wireless-G (model WRT54GS). This is working ok because I have two other wireless devices (internet radio and iPod touch) which connect fine. Firmware is up to date. I've done a bit more troubleshooting, and the the problem is connected with the phone line, which drops out all too regularly. Each time the phone line drops out, the Mac is unable to connect to the network wirelessly. After going through Network diagnostics, and rebooting the modem+router, it comes with a message saying "Network changes detected", and then I can reconnect OK. The funny thing is, the IPod touch can always reconnect no problem, even if the line has dropped out since the last login. Given that I've got a crappy phone line conection, is this normal or is there something wrong with my Mac settings ?

Similar to my problem but it try to look for others MacBook who used to be listed under "Shared"
If you found the sollution may be it also apply to mine. I'm just thinking that there is some link somewhere that need to be removed so it will stop looking for that particullar machine on the network. -
Cant connect to internet using airport?!!!
Hi,
Suddenly and out of nothing, I just dont seem to be able to get connect to internet using airport. I restarted all devices but it still not working. Though I can connect to my wireless network using airport, I cant use the internet. I can use the internet from other devices and I've already checked my settings.
ThanksHi - what do you mean when you say that you "installed Airport Express on laptop" - do you mean "with your laptop using the Windows 7 version of the Airport Utility? - and what wireless router are you referring to? - if you clarify these issues, maybe someone can help you

it sounds like a tagging problem, but I'm not sure how to help.... what kind of files are they? Typically, if they are organized properly in WMP, they should organize well in the Zen... go to WMP and try the advanced tag editor.

I own an iPad (latest/64 GB/WiFi+3G) that has iOS 6.1.3 . The TED Talks app that was OK till recently now crashes each time it opens. I think this is after a recent update. I removed it from my iPad & re-installed it but its no use. Can anyone help?
A good read. Have you done anything at all to resolve your problem. Reset? Restore?

Hi, my ipad mini has suddenly stopped working and I cannot turn it off or connect it to the computer, can anyone help me on this??
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.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
