Problems tethering using wifi with Twist laptop and iphone

Hello,
I have a Twist and works fine, although I have recently moved to an iphone 6. The phone and laptop combination has problem tethering over wifi, with tethering enabled on the phone, the laptop does not find the wifi signal. Asking a colleague to see if my phone is broadcasting an SSID, which it was. The laptop just doesn't want to find my iphone wifi signal. However, finding any wifi broadcast from a router, it finds it first time!
Since it was a new phone, I have been speaking with apple a lot and have even replaced the iphone, although problems still persist.
I am starting to think it is the lenovo twist laptop. I have checked the drivers and I have the latest ones which are on the lenovo website because the program used to update the software doesn't ask me to install a new driver, but looking at the wifi driver within the device manager it is dated: 13/08/2012. with driver version #: 6.20.55.55.
I have the 2x2 11a/b/g/n Wireless LAN PCI Express Half Mini Card Adapter and is based on the Broadcom chipset.
Do any of you have this problem? Also, where can I obtain the very latest driver for this as I would suspect it is likely to be a driver issue or I would like to rule this out first.
Many thanks.

I have 3 questions,Audio/Video Remote Control HID driver windows 8 fails to install code 32, trying to use usb tether connection rather then using WiFi to connect Laptop and iPhone. can only connect using wifi. Last quest. about the hotspot bar.

In device manager it shows an error code 32' using iPhone 5 related to Apple Tv I believe is when this started, I am thinking I can DL the file and install
biut I am not sure how to properly do this.
Also I use my LTE to tether (paid) to my LapTop as well, The issue I am having, I cannot get the USB to work as a network connection. However using the WiFi method works fine but I rather use the sync cable at times such as when I am charging the phone and/or wishing to not trainsmit my ssid for others to see even though I do use a password.
Last question about using the built in WyFi tether connection, Is it posable to remove or ake the annoying blue indicater bar at the top disappear? This blocks from doing certain tasks that forces me to shut off the HotSpot app. to allow me to pull down the info bar at the top, Please Help Thanks

I am having problems with my wifi on my ipad its stopped connecting, its fine with my laptop and iphone but not ipad - I want to know if I can set up by plugging in to itunes rather than manually as it wilask me to connect to wifi to set up and I cant!

I am having real problems with wifi on my ipad it was fine but for the last week or so wont connect! my laptop and iphone are connecting fine, I have tried everything! back up and restore from back up and still no joy so I am thinking of restoring the ipad to a new one the worry for me is with this is when you set it up you go through the instructions and it asks you to connect to a wifi network and as it wont Im worried I wont be able to set it back up so need to know if I plug into itunes can I set it up this way? can anyone help me please Im going crazy with this!!!

BOB we need you urgently
Perhaps Bob will see this thread, he is the professor in these cases.
You do not use a WEP password but wpa/wpa2 on router and equipment.
All equipment connects to WiFi, but for your iPad.
Even with all other equipment WiFi off, you cannot connect your iPad.
Your iPad connects to other WiFi nets correctly.
All resets etc done on iPad and Router.
Still I am not sure it is your router for sure, frustrating...
I want to test 2 other things:
1. in your iPad, set everything OFF in Settings/Cellular, turn off/then/on your WiFi, and see whether it will still not connect...
2. If that does not do it: disconnect the router as well as the modem from the power, for 15 seconds, then reconnect the modem, let it fully start, then reconnect the routet let it fully start, turn of your WiFi in iPad, then on, and see whether it will connect.

My iPad is not connecting to the wifi although my laptop and iPhone are. the screen saysno internet connection

My iPad has stopped connecting to my wifi and says No Internet Connection, even though I have 3 bars wifi and my laptop and iPhone in the same room are connected

Some things to try first:
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

Using Airport with my laptop and a wired desktop

Long story short, I deleted my Airport Express settings on my laptop and set up a new wireless network. After doing so, I can no longer do any sharing with my wired desktop computer. I'm assuming they are no longer on the same network. I've had it working properly ever since the Airport was invented, but I don't have a clue what I did at the time to make sharing between my laptop and my desktop possible. If I recall, it just kind of happened "magically." Can anyone explain how it's done or point me to instructions for doing so?
Thank you!

Ok, great thanks! Since you are connecting the AX directly to the Linksys via Ethernet, we just need to reconfigure it as a bridge to allow the Linksys to continue to provide both NAT & DHCP services for both the wired and wirelessly devices.
I'm assuming that you have the earlier 802.11g version of the AX and will be using the older AirPort Admin Utility for administration.
To set up the AX as a bridge, either connect to the AX's wireless network or temporarily connect your computer directly (using an Ethernet cable) to an available LAN port on the Linksys router, and then, using the AirPort Admin Utility (located in the \Applications\Utilities folder), make these settings:
Network tab
o Distribute IP addresses (unchecked)
o Apply the new setting.

Using ITunes with a laptop and an External Drive

Ok, I have half my music on my laptop in the following folder, (Copied from the xml file)
file://localhost/C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/Owner/My%20Documents/My%20Music/i Tunes/iTunes%20Music/
The other half in on an external 300gb drive in a folder:
file://localhost/E:/Music/
I need to move the music off my laptop, and onto the external drive. I do not want to loose my lists, ratings, and so forth. I tried to edit and replace the above strings, but when iTunes started, it changed back. I assume the data is stored in the other binary file.
Is there any easy way to do this? And is there any way people have found to easily burn music onto a laptop, then bulk move it to another drive? Make sense?
Also, Is there any way to see the directory your music is in in itunes? It would be great to be able to sort by drive, or directory.
Thanks,
KevinChav

I would also like to find a solution for this. It would be nice if someone could share.
I have a laptop where i store a small part of my music, and the rest is on a external harddrive. I would like iTunes to automaticly sort the music after where it is stored.
So that i could use iTunes even when i don't have my hard disk with me.

Problems in using Msync with IPAQ 3760 and Active SYnc 3.5

Hi,
Environment :-
IPAQ 3760
Windows NT workstation
Active Sync 3.5
I am using Active Sync 3.5 which does not need RAS
configuration on the machine.
I am unable to run msync.exe. It does not give any errors
messages.
The 9i lite documentation talks about RAS settings.
If anyone has faced similar prob coudl you please let me know
the solution.
regards,
Sonal

You do not need to make a RAS connection with Pocket PC 2002,
because now ActiveSync itself makes an IP connection, and
Oracle9i Lite just needs an IP connection for synchronization no
matter how you establish it. Hi, I also experience the same problem. Using PocketPC 2002 I have a pasthru connection. Ik kan browse on the Internet with Internet Explorer, so the connections works.
mSync just seems to do nothing. When I press the Sync button, nothing happens (not even a progress bar).
Any idea?
Thanks,
Bas.

Using .mac with mail.app and iphone...problems with mailbox folders i think

Is it normal in mail.app for my folders to be as follows: Under the heading Mailboxes, I have Inbox folder and Sent folder and trash folder. Then, instead of a junk folder under that, it is below all of that under the heading Chris's Email (obviously my account). Why is this?

Who is your ISP used for connecting to the internet?
Are you also accessing an email account and SMTP server that is provided by your ISP with the Mail.app and if so, are you able to send messages with your ISP's email account?
Most if not all ISPs used for connecting to the internet now block the use of SMTP servers that are outside of their network (or not provided by the ISP) on Port 25 which is the default port for SMTP servers.
Some ISPs allow the use of an authenticated SMTP server only (such as the .Mac SMTP server) on Port 25 but some block its use regardless.
These restructions are in place as part of an overall effort to prevent spam emanating from the ISP's domain.
First thing to try.
Go to Mail > Preferences > Accounts and under the Account Information tab for your .Mac account preferences at the SMTP server selection, select the Server Settings button below the the .Mac SMTP server.
Enter 587 in place of 25 in the Server Port field and when finished, select OK to save the changed setting.
If this doesn't work, you need to contact your ISP. If you are accessing an email account and SMTP server that is provided by your ISP used for connecting to the internet with the Mail.app, in the interim select/use your ISP's SMTP server to send messages with your .Mac account which is invisible to all recipients.

You are not addressing Apple here. If you have a problem, describe it and someone might be able to help. Just to be sure, the wi-fi on the phone will go off after the phone goes into sleep mode unless it is actively being used. This is a battery saving measure. If you are actively using the internet, and the phone is still awake, then the wi-fi should remain connected.
What troubleshooting steps have you tried.

Can't connect to our wifi with my laptop, but pc and iphone can!

All devices (my boyfriends pc and my iphone and ipad) can log into our new wifi network except for my macbook pro. I can connect to any other wifi like the starbucks or our neighbors network, and all different hotel networks. I've never had a problem connecting with this laptop and have had it for years. Apple says it's comcasts, comcast says it's apple. I've spent hours on the phone with both and neither has solved the problem. HELP please anyone. I feel so constrained with this ethernet cord! And I don't want to get a new laptop just to get wifi.
I've reset the modem, I've changed login and password info, I've been on the phone with apple clearing out all my network history etc...
Thanks in advance to anyone who can offer some help.

Hi guys.Got a problem with my iPhone 5. I bought it in a shop 4 month ago. After I got a visitor with iOS 7 on his phone he would like to charge his phone with my Laptop and cable.But when he plugged it in it showed a message wich says: " This cable or accessory is not certified and may not work reliably with this phone".
How is this possible? I then phoned the shop and told them my problem. When I gave them the details I also found out that the imei No. in the iPhone is the same as on the original box. But the the Serial numbers are different. I already try the support centre but I’m over the 90 days.And there is no Apple Store in Namibia. I hope someone can help me here. Thanks, Ralfar

You are right, but how could i send it to Apple? when the phone company first replaced my iphone they had in stock alots of iphones and they just sent mine back to Apple and gave me a new one, so all i did is to give them my phone, but now how could i sent it to Apple? and i cant send it by myself, and the store wont do that, its a lost for them.. so sending it to Apple wasnt an option from the begining.
and for the record, i dont think the store where i bought it is an authorized shop.. its just a store who boughts phone's from Apple in a low price and sells it in much more money..

I have a new ipad which needs itunes 10.7 or later to download my music onto it... but my apple laptop is not compatible with this as it is too old... can i use itunes with this ipad and apple laptop?

To use itunes 10.7 you need to have Snow Leopard operating system installed
These are the system requirements
System Requirements:
Mac computer with an Intel processor
1GB of memory
5GB of available disk space
DVD drive for installation
Some features require a compatible internet service provider: fees may apply.
If you can run Snow Leopard you need to purchase it

My MacBook works fine wifi everywhere except for home. The home wifi is fine with the iPad and iPhone. How can I fix my MacBook?

My MacBook works fine wifi everywhere except for home. The home wifi is fine with the iPad and iPhone, so I assume the issue is with my computer. My computer works fine on wifi networks elsewhere. The only problem is at home.
The computer "connects to the wifi," but browsers and other internet-dependent software do not work. Curiously, if I connect the ethernet cord that doesn't work either. Usually if I reset the modem to factory settings twice (for some reason, once doesn't do the trick), my computer will fully connect to the wifi. However, in a few days, it goes back to not working.
Today, resetting the modem didn't work. I could only get wifi connection while in safe mode, but not in normal mode. So, the issue seems to be software not hardware. I have tried starting new accounts in normal mode, but those also don't connect properly to internet.
Not sure if this is relevant, but this problem started when my building switched internet providers from ComHem to Telia (I live in Sweden).
What do you recommend I do?
Thanks!
PS I use Snow Leopard: OS 10.6.8

Not unless the modem is causing a problem.
What you want to do is get it to work reliably over Ethernet first, then tackle wifi. Power off the modem. On your macbook, delete the Ethernet configuration and the Wifi configuration. Power up the modem, then connect the mac via Ethernet. Create the new Ethernet configuration and see if you can connect.
