Problems connecting with wireless for 2 years! please help!

I have had my mac for almost 2 years. When I first got it unfortunatley I did not have internet at home so I was stealing internet from my neighbor and it was working pretty good. I then got my internet back on after about a month of fighting with ATT because they wanted me to pay for a router. They gave us the same router a 2wire gateway 2701HG-B router (whatever that means). The wireless internet stoped working. I took the computer in they fixed it for a while by changing something. 4 months later it stopped working so I took it in again. They fixed it ... For a while. Then it stopped working.

If you have an history with this case, they may accept to do something even if warranty is over, but that's not for sure.
Does your wi-fi work on some other access points ? (neighbors, fast-foods...)
Usually, when this happens during warranty period, the machine is exchanged.

No connectivity with certain Apps... please help

I'm loving the z10 and many of the apps. However, recently, I can't load certain apps that were working fine before.
For example, the songza app keeps "waiting for connection". Word hero says "no connenction, unable to play"
8tracks also does not work.
Previously, all these apps were working great on wifi and on the regular network. Other apps, like globe and mail, cbc, thescore all are working.
Please help!

Hello!
Anytime random strange behavior or sluggishness creeps in, the first thing to do is a battery pop reboot. With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes. See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure.

Nothing. i get a prompt saying "the feature you are trying to use is on a resource that is unavailable." and then it goes on to say.. "Click ok to try again or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package 'quicktime.msi' in the box below." and it already has two diffrent paths located in the entry box and i have tried them both and it keeps giving me the same message as i posted above. i am so lost and it dont help that i dont really know a whole lot about computers. i am stuck between a rock and a hard place.any input would be greatly appreciated. thanks!

Unfortunately, these sorts of msi-related troubles have gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on June 25. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any QuickTime entries and click "Remove".
Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try installing QuickTime again. Does the install go through properly this time?
(If you do find a clean download site for the correct version of CleanUp, please don't tell me where it is. Without wishing to sound paranoid (although I grant it does sound paranoid), there is a non-zero chance that posting links to download locations for the utility here at Discussions leads to that download location being shut down.)

Annoying Mail problem I've had for so long, please help!

Hi everyone,
Since as long as I can remember, whenever I attach a JPG, or EPS in Mail to a message for instance, if I send the email to a PC user, they always tell me that there wasn't an image attached??! Now I always have 'save windows friendly attachments' clicked and it's always under 5MB. It seems fine with PDF's.
They say it just appears as a red cross on their email programme. Quite a few different clients have reported this actually. Can anyone tell me what the problem is it's so annoying it's untrue, having to use YouSendIt for simple image sharing which Is shouldn't have to!!
Thanks all,
Mark

Mark,
Let's start with image files like JPEGs. You should send to those using PC and Outlook or Outlook Express using Plain Text, in addition to Windows Friendly. Rich Text Format can be problematic for them, and it likewise sometimes is to those using AOL and Lotus Notes (if there are any of those). If you use a Signature, make sure it is composed in Plain Text. Outlook and Outlook Express simply have problems with RTF, even when sending themselves since they use a proprietary version of RTF.
Insofar as .eps files, they can be problematic to other Mail users, and probably many others, unless zipped. The problem with them with someone using Mail, is when it tries to get them to View in Place -- Mail uses Preview to do that, and Preview can have problems with .eps files.

Problems connecting using MM.MySQL JDBC driver - Please Help

I have been trying to get the driver to work for the past two days and have hit a brick wall. If someone could offer any ideas on what other steps to try I would so much appreciate it. Here's the situation:
I'm working on Mac OS X.1, jdk 1.3, mysql (database) and using the mm.mysql driver version 2.0.6.1. I'm using a test script which loads the driver, tries to connect to the 'test' database (which doesn't require a username/password) and then prints out the systems date when successful.
//load the driver
Class.forName("org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver");
//Try connecting to db
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(jdbc:mysql:///test", "", "");
Statement stmt = conn.createStatement();
ResultSet rset = stmt.executeQuery("SELECT now();");
while (rset.next())
System.out.println(rset.getString(1));
// Close result set, statement and DB connection
rset.close();
stmt.close();
conn.close();
The problem is that everytime I run the script I get an error telling me that the driver could not be found:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver
��at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(URLClassLoader.java:200)
��at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method)
��at java.net.URLClassLoader.findClass(URLClassLoader.java:188)
��at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:297)
��at sun.misc.Launcher$AppClassLoader.loadClass(Launcher.j
The mysql database is running in the background, the driver's path location has been added to my classpath and I've also tried modifying the driver name as well as using older versions of the driver itself, but still no luck. This needs to be up and running so I can finalize a project I've been working on. If anyone has any ideas on what I could possibly try next, I welcome the suggestions.
Thanks in advance.

I didn't realize you had to extract the information either.
Ok.. so I downloaded the latest jar file from sourceforge, extracted the data and IT WORKED!! Thank you so much. You saved my head from exploding.
Many thanks.

Xbox Controller (Wired) won't connect to PC for gaming. Please Help!

So, I bought Dark Souls and I would like to use my Xbox controller. I acquired the drives necessary and had it automatically download the other drives once plugged into my computer, but the Microsoft Xbox 360 Accessories Status does not recognize that the
controller is plugged in there for it does not let me play using the controller. It, also, does not pop up saying that a joy stick controller is plugged in when I go to joy.cpl through Run.
Can someone please tell me what is wrong or what I could do to fix this? I have uninstalled the drivers multiple times and reinstalled and that has not worked either. I really want to start playing Dark Souls!

Hi,
Have you tried reinstalling Windows software for Xbox 360 controller?

Hello Makiaveli,
It sounds like you are getting this error code when you are trying to access the iTunes Store.
I found this article with this error listed in the symptoms section, for you that should help troubleshoot the issue named:
Apple software on Windows: May see performance issues and blank iTunes Store
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4123
Resolution
The cause for these issues is a program that monitors the Winsock protocol for Windows conflicting with Apple software. These programs usually use a Layered Service Provider (LSP) that can help identify the particular program installed. The programs that monitor this protocol have a variety of purposes, including security software, content filtering, and optimization of network traffic.
To find the LSP:
Download Autoruns for Windows from Microsoft
Look for Autoruns.ZIP and open the compressed folder.
After reviewing the contents and the license, drag autoruns.exe to the desktop.
Open Autoruns.
Click on the tab that says Winsock Providers.
A list of items should appear. A column showing the publisher should be available.
For items other than Bonjour, which is from Apple, check with the publisher for updates to resolve the conflict between their software and Apple software.
If the publisher is unfamiliar to you, you may be able to use the table below to find out more information about the origin of the modifications to Windows.
Some of the publishers and programs that are known to have versions with a conflict are listed below:

Once you've identified the third-party software that installed the LSP, you should check for updates. If the software is your security software, see iTunes: Troubleshooting security software issues for additional information.
Bytemobile is usually associated with cellular data connection software. You may want to check if your provider has instructions to disable or uninstall that portion of the software, such as these instructions from AT&T.
Note: If unsure on the origin of your LSP, you may try to locate vendor information to determine which software is responsible for the non-default value here.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

I need advise and help with this problem .
First , I have been with Mac for many years ( 14 to be exact ) I do have some knowledge and understanding of Apple product .
At the present time I'm having lots of problems with the router so I was looking in to some info , and come across one web site regarding : port forwarding , IP addresses .
In my frustration , amongst lots of open web pages tutorials and other useless information , I come across innocent looking link and software to installed called Genieo , which suppose to help with any router .
Software ask for permission to install , and about 30 % in , my instinct was telling me , there is something not right . I stop installation . Delete everything , look for any
trace in Spotlight , Library . Nothing could be find .
Now , every time I open Safari , Firefox or Chrome , it will open in my home page , but when I start looking for something in steed of Google page , there is
''search.genieo.com'' page acting like a Google . I try again to get raid of this but I can not find solution .
With more research , again using genieo.com search eng. there is lots of articles and warnings . From that I learn do not use uninstall software , because doing this will install more things where it come from.
I do have AppleCare support but its to late to phone them , so maybe there some people with knowledge , how to get this of my computer
Any help is welcome , English is my learned language , you may notice this , so I'm not that quick with the respond

Genieo definitely doesn't help with your router. It's just adware, and has no benefit to you at all. They scammed you so that they could display their ads on your computer.
To remove it, see:
http://www.thesafemac.com/arg-genieo/
Do not use the Genieo uninstaller!

Record about my phone (bought in Verizon store and connected to Verizon for 4 years) has been corrupted and now I can not make any changes to my data plan. Several sessions with the technical support and management have not resolved this issue. Each time technical people and top managers promised that this issue will be resolve tomorrow and they will cal me. Nothing happend!! I can not even cancel my service not just to upgrade it. Completely locked.
Any advice?
Thanks.
Alex.

Cannot figure out what your talking about since it makes no sense.
If you are the account owner you can go to the My Verizon web portal http://www.verizonwireless.com
You must log in with your cell number and your my Verizon portal password. Not the account pin.
Once there you can change your plan and services. However repeated incorrect login attempts will lock you out of the site. It a fraud prevention measure.
1-800-922-0204 call support with your cell number and or account number and account pin and they can assist you.
If you don't have the information then there is nothing they can do.
If you can verify who you are they may be able to reset your account access. But only if you are the account owner.
Good Luck

I did force shutdown on my MacBook Pro (2006 year, 15.4"), so, when I tried to boot, it shows apple logo (as usual) and shuts down. When I booting MacBook with Option key pressed it shows lock icon and field for password. Please help me.

Wait for advice on repairing a damaged filesystem. Forceshutdown stops processs in mid-stream and leaves some parts not-valid.
Do not proceed until you get that avice.

Impossible connecting with wireless network Netgear WNR 2000

I can not log on to my wireless network (Netgear WNR 2000) with my macbook. My other PC:s work fine and connect always. My Macbook only connect after I have restarted the router. When I use my Macbook in other places I can connect with wireless network. What is the problem?

I'm assuming that you're using the right network password! After that, the most common causes of difficulty are:
- The router not set up for DHCP and so cannot allocate an IP address to the MacBook
- The router has "MAC" Address Authentication (a security feature - don't mistake MAC for Mac[intosh]) turned on and the AirPort MAC address isn't in the pass list.
- The default "Automatic" location in System Preferences > Networks has been modified so that it no longer works.

Had to restore ipod to factory settings child forgot passcode. did restore and trying to set up and keep receivng messagethere was a problem connecting with the server

How do I fix this message. When trying to set up the ipod again? There was a problem connecting with the server. please help

Was this the error?

Lync 2013. There was a problem connecting with the Exchange. Unable to load the magazine discussions.

Lync 2013. There was a problem connecting with the Exchange. Unable to load the magazine discussions.
Installed Lync Server Standart 2013, client PC MS Office 2013.
As the mail system - Lotus Notes Domino Server and Lotus Notes client, respectively.
Exchange is not installed at all.
question:
1 What is the message: "There was a problem connecting with Exchange. Unable to load the magazine discussions." and how it is fraught?
2 How can I fix this message? Cleaning the C: \ Users \% UserName% \ AppData \ Local \ Microsoft \ Office \ 15.0 \ Lync \ does not help
3 What are the disadvantages when using Lync Server Standart 2013 without Exchange? In principle, I put for Lync Exchange?
4 What are the advantages when using Lync Server Standart 2013 with Exchange?
5 Is it possible to work simultaneously Lync Server Standart 2013 + Exchange + Lotus Notes
Thank you.

1) That sounds like a strange translation. But basically, it wants to connect to Exchange and it's complaining.
2) You can attempt to go to Tools->Options->Personal and set Personal Information Manager to None, and in Lync Management Shell run set-csclientpolicy
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg398300.aspx with the following options:
DisableCalendarPresence $True
DisableEmailComparisonCheck $True
EnableExchangeContactSync $False
There may be more, I've never tried to completely disable Exchange features from Lync.
3) No conferencing plugin for meeting invites, no automatic presence management based upon your calendar, no searching your Outlook contacts for new contacts, no voicemail, no conversation history,no unified contact store, and more:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj688098.aspx
4) This is just #3 in reverse :)
5) Depends on your goals, but the experience wouldn't be great. You'd want to keep your contacts and calendar in Exchange and your email in Notes. It would be confusing to your users.

My MacAir is great except for a problem i have. Keys F1, F2,F5,F6,F7,F8,F9,F10,F11,F12 and the power button are unresponsive. These are keys i frequently use and i have searched the whole apple help centre. Anyone got answers for me? Please helP!!!

Some keys don't work as expected
From the Apple menu, choose System Preferences.
From the View menu, choose Speech.
Click the Text to Speech tab.
If "Speak selected text when the key is pressed" is enabled, the key or key combination set to speak text cannot be used for other purposes or used to type text--click Set Key and change it to a less-commonly used key combination (try to use modifier keys such as Shift, Command, Option, and Control). Or, disable the "Speak selected text when the key is pressed" option.
Click the Universal Access pane in System Preferences, click the Keyboard tab.
Make sure that Slow Keys is turned off. With Slow Keys on, you need to press a key for a longer period of time for it to be recognized.
In the Universal Access pane, click the Mouse tab, and make sure Mouse Keys is turned off. With Mouse Keys enabled, you cannot use the Numeric Keypad to enter numbers--instead the keypad moves the pointer (cursor). (There is an option to enable Mouse Keys with five presses of the Option key; you may want to turn that option off to avoid accidentally enabling it.) If Mouse Keys is enabled and you are using a keyboard with no numeric keypad or Num Lock function, see Unable to type while Mouse Keys is enabled in Mac OS X.
If the function keys on the top row of the keyboard are not working as expected, see Mac OS X: How to change the behavior of function keys.
If the issue persists, use Keyboard Viewer to help isolate the issue:
Click the Language & Text pane (Mac OS X v10.6) or International pane (Mac OS X v10.5.8 or earlier) in System Preferences.
Click the Input Sources tab (or Input Menu tab in Mac OS X 10.5.8 or earlier).
Click the Keyboard & Character Viewer "On" checkbox to select it (click the Keyboard Viewer "On" checkbox in Mac OS X 10.5.8 or earlier).
From the Input (flag) menu, choose Show Keyboard Viewer.
If the keyboard is connected and detected by Mac OS X, the keys you type will highlight in the Keyboard Viewer window. Open TextEdit (or any text application), and try to type something using the keys that were previously not responding to see if they highlight in Keyboard Viewer.
Start from the Mac OS X Install Disc, choose Terminal from the Utilities menu and test the keys which were previously not working. If the keys work while started from the Install disc, then the keyboard itself is working correctly. Use Mac OS X: How to troubleshoot a software issue to isolate the software issue that may be causing the keys to not respond.
