Probook with the flaky Wifi - how to config? -

Hi, I also got the ProBook with useless wifi...
it looses signal alot, and its slow.
everything else works fine in my home network.
My specs.
Windows7 -64- pro
Broadcom BCM943228HMB 802.11abgn 2x2 Wi-Fi Adapter
PCI\VEN_14E4&DEV_4359&SUBSYS_05E214E4&REV_00
PCI\VEN_14E4&DEV_4359&SUBSYS_05E214E4
PCI\VEN_14E4&DEV_4359&CC_028000
PCI\VEN_14E4&DEV_4359&CC_0280
I want someone to explain and show me how to fix this problem, step by step.
I Read some solutions on different threads about people with same issues.
someone told to update driver, force the 5ghz bandwidth and such...
quote:
The biggest one for use was enforcing 20 MHz channels for our 802.11n connections. 40 MHz channels seem to cause the disconnection issue significantly more frequently for some reason.
But have no clue how to do.
My Router doesnt support 5 ghz (! so thats not relevant.
So what can I do, and what do I have dare to change ?
Windows /controlpanel/network connections/Wireless broadcom /properties/network/config
band preference =
bandwidth capability =

part of the beacon messages are the AP's current load. So the client is made aware by all the AP's it can see what it's load is, as well as how strongly it can see it.

I connected my external hard drive to my new imac to put all of the information from my macbook onto it. i have been working on the macbook now and want to reconnect the external hard drive so my imac is updated with the work. How is that done?

As I said, I don't use Time Machine, so it'd be best to wait for an "expert" answer, but, with my very limited knowledge, I'd say: probably not - so, for now, I'd suggest you read up on Time Machine:

And, you might be attracting more knowledgeable answers if you were to post this question in the Time Machine Forum (part of the Snow Leopard forums).

A erase of the drive or boot partition is not always necessary.
Flashing question mark at boot could be a easy fix, sometimes it's the firmware that simply forgot what bootable volume to boot from.
Try holding the Option key down while booting the machine, a choice of bootable options appears, select your OS X and boot up.
When you get in, head to System Preferences > Startup disk and set it again new. This will tell the firmware what to boot from. Test it to see.
Now if you don't have a selection of bootable options, it could be that the drive is dead, or OS X is erased or corrupted so it can't boot.
You'll have to run through this list of fixes to see what's going on, if you need a hardware fix or what, I've also included links if you can't fix it and need to recover your data etc.
(If it's not remmebering your boot selection then also run through the list to reset things.)

1. I have an iPod which has purchases synced with I tunes with an apple ID. I now have an iPad with a new ID for cloud. I have cloud storage capacity of 5gb which came with the iPad. How can I use one ID and store my existing music in cloud?

HI Frostyfrog
CHeck out iTunes Match which has an annual fee of £21 or thereabouts. You can store a maximum of 25,000 songs there and they all become available on your other kit, iPhone, iPad and iPod. I know it works as I have over 23000 songs uploaded of which only a few we're bought through iTunes.
it works by comparing your music to the whole iTunes music dadata base so you access the same tunes that you could get from iTunes. If you have obscure stuff, it uploads your own music to the cloud as a copy.
I Find it incredible that on my iPhone with its 16gb memory I can view almost 200 gb of music (ie my 23000 songs) and play any of them. Anything I add to iTunes becomes available via the cloud fairly quickly from a few minutes or a little longer if adding a lot.
The first time you use it it will take quite a while to match your music if you have a lot, but after that it is all automatic. Read the stuff on the apple site. Your PC needs to be at least running Vista. I recommend it and at less than 50p a week it's good value.
Good luck

Bought a new iphone and i cant activate it unless the previous owner deletes the account from their icloud but i lost contact with the previous owner how can i fix this?

Take it back where you got and and get your money back.
As has been pointed out, if there was a "previous owner", the phone is not "new". Thephone you purchased is most likely stolen. If whoever you bought it from won't give you your money back, turn it over to the police.

For your laptop turn on Home Sharing Making a note of what Apple ID you use.
Do the same for your other computer using the SAME apple ID it does not matter if it uses a different ID in the itunes store
If you cannot see the Home Sharing Icon
Ctrl + S to show the sidebar and the other computer library should be displayed under Shared
View > Show Sidebar for a Mac
Select the other computer library. select what you wish to copy over and click import at the bottom right

My sister downloaded an album she bought on itunes on her ipad and it somehow synced to my iphone when I try to delete it it still shows up in my music library with the icloud symbol how do I delete the album???

As long as you both share an iTunes account you cannot delete the album. It is in your account and will show as available to download. The cloud symbol simply is showing that the album is in your iTunes account and is available for you to download. The album itself isn't on your phone though.

When I try to access GameCenter on my Mac it says "The requested operation could not be completed due to an error communicating with the server." How can I fix this?

This usually caused by a customised hosts file.
These need to be the only entries in your /etc/hosts file:-
# Host Database
# localhost is used to configure the loopback interface
# when the system is booting. Do not change this entry.
127.0.0.1       localhost
255.255.255.255 broadcasthost
::1             localhost
fe80::1%lo0     localhost
Remove anything below these entries, then try and reconnect with GC. Once GC starts properly you can put the extra entries back in your hosts file, GC should start normally afterwards.
