Re. apps - why not have a red ring around all apps connecting to the internet - so you can see which apps you can use off line ??
I was travelling in europe using both by iphone and my ipad.
My kids was using both, not knowing that they was using the internet (3G) for some games.
It would be great if you could see on the apps whether they connect to the internet or not - today you can only guess !
Not sure why you've posted this in the iBooks forum. But if you want to leave feedback for Apple then you can do so here http://www.apple.com/feedback

You do not have sufficient access to your computer to connect to the selected printer
Environment
Print server: Windows 2008 R2 SP1
Clients: Windows XP SP3 + GPP
Drivers:
HP UPD PCL6 5.3.1.10527
Intermec 7.2.2
Ricoh UPD PS 3.9.0.0
Xerox UPD PS 5.216.12
Zebra 2.6.42.03
GPO Configuration - enables users to add printers/drivers from the print servers.
Background
For the last year, we've had the 2008R2 print server set up and the clients have not had any problems connecting to the print server to add printers.
Issue
Over the past ~3 weeks, we've gotten spurious reports from users stating they're unable to add a printer. The specific error displayed is:
You do not have sufficient access to your computer to connect to the selected printer.
It occurs for multiple vendors, so it's not a print driver specific issue. I've personally witnessed the problem where (using a User's account) I was unable to add Printer X out of a list of 10 random printers. 2 minutes later, still logged on
as the same user, I was then able to add Printer X which doesn't make any sense since nothing had changed.
Another user logging into the same workstation will not have any problems adding the same problematic printer. The user who had the problem can log onto a different workstation and add the same printer with no problems, so it's not a User permission
issue either.
Most of the time running gpupdate /force and/or rebooting the box will also 'solve' the problem.
Running the group policy results wizard on a few random workstations (which have exhibited this problem in the past), shows everything appears to be properly configured/enabled related to GPOs, including the
Prevent users from installing printer drivers setting per http://support.microsoft.com/kb/259937
Has anyone else ran into this problem lately?
How does one troubleshoot this issue since I can't faithfully reproduce it on demand since it appears to resolve itself after a period of time?Haven't found the smoking gun to this problem, but I am getting closer.
Troubleshooted another PC today which was exhibiting this problem for another user. Logged onto the PC with my User account and sure enough, received the same message for the same printer. Fired up Sysinternals Process Monitor, but nothing useful
was captured when receiving the failure message. There was also another Point and Print printer which was present on the workstation (i.e.
PrinterName on PrintServerName) for my User account which stated "printer cannot be removed. Access is Denied" when I tried to delete it. Odd. Getting properties on the printer would bring up the correct info from the print server
though, so it was valid and appeared functional.
I tried running the new
MS FixIT printing tool, but it failed in full mode with an admin account.
Next, I searched through the registry for this printername which I was unable to delete. Eventually it was found at:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Print\Providers\LanMan Print Services\Servers\PRINTSERVERNAME\Printers\PRINTERNAME
On a hunch, I deleted the entire PrinterName key, restarted the print spooler, and then was able to add the printer with no permission errors! There were several more printers listed in this registry key. I tried the same steps again:
validate receiving 'sufficient access' error.
purge printer's registry key
restart spooler
Able to add the same printer via point and print.
This solved the problem on half of the printers. The others added with no errors. The printer drivers in question are from both HP and Xerox, so I doubt it's a vendor specific issue and instead Windows (unsure if XP or 2008 though).
It would appear that Windows caches the information about the printer/driver/settings/etc from the print server in CurrentVersion\Print\Providers\LanMan Print Services\Servers\PRINTSERVERNAME\Printers\PRINTERNAME ? Why does it need to be duplicated
in both HKLM and HKCU?
Separate PC, further exploring this printer issue and the contents of the \LanMan Print Services\Servers\PRINTSERVERNAME\Printers\ keys. On this PC, I successfully ran the MS FixIt for Printing tool in Full mode and rebooted. After reboot, the

Sure enough, after checking the \LanMan Print Services\Servers\PRINTSERVERNAME\Printers\ keys, all of those printers which logged EventID 23 were still present! This time, I manually deleted the entire \LanMan Print Services\Servers\PRINTSERVERNAME\Printers\
subkeys, rebooted the PC, logged on, and those errors did not repeat.
Something strange is definitely going on with the printing subsystem on XP lately... -
Halfway through the OS X Yosemite update it says I am not connected to the internet (when I know I am because I can search through the app store). How can I fix this? I cannot get on Safari because it requires an update to Mac OS X 10.9 or later.
Just to be clear. You have downloaded the Yosemite installer. However you say while it's updating you get the error you are not online. This is confusing since you shouldn't be able to use your computer in the process of updating.
Exactly where do you see you need to 10.9 to get on Safari? -
Have an iMac G5 won't stay connect to the internet
Have an iMac G5 won't stay connect to the internet by cable/ethernet for more than minute or so. After I reboot the Verizon modem I have five green lights, ethernet, network settings, isp, internet server all green. Open browser, internet, server go red. Somehow my grand-daughter downloaded some program that gives me a world back ground "Not licensed evaluation use only". If I change the background the world background comes right back.

What make is the router?
What are the firewall settings on your Vista? What puzzles me is that your steam connection is fine and yet you cannot browse the internet.
I am sure you have right clicked on the system tray icon (wireless connection) and chose to repair the connection right?

we have a movie downloaded on a laptop connected to the internet pluged into our router in the basement and an apple tv upstairs trying to play the movie through home sharing but it wont play. can anyone tell me whats wrong? it comes to the last loading page where it shows the desscription of the movie befor it acually plays.
It can come about without any change done by the user, and it's not just from other networks. The placement of the router can also affect performance. Also make sure router is up to date.
Apart from that would be the reboots. -

hi, my iphone 4s is saying im not connected to the internet, my wifi is on and ive tried switching it off and on and nothing, still cant connect. help! it was working perfectly fine earlier today.
Try a reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.

When I try to start Settings, or Safari, the programmes close immediately and does not allow me to ghange anything or get connected in the internet. How can i set back factory settings? can somebody help me?
Hello nikos260,
It sounds like Safari and Settings will immediately close when you try to open them. I recommend following steps in the following tutorial to address an issue like this (you can skip step 2 "Recharge iPad" because it's not related to this issue):

I have recently purchaced an ipad 2 16gb wifi and somebody told me if i wanted to use 3g or connect to the internet whaere i cant get and wifi i can connect my iphone to my ipad and use my iphone 3g is this true?
Yes, that is the Tetheringn or HotSpot option. Some models have this. You will have to set up your phone to do this, and your carrier will likely charge you an extra fee for the tethering service.

Takes a long time to connect to the internet when I first open an app
I bought my Macbook Pro Retina 13inch last weekend and I love it! Everything was working fine but over the last couple of days, when I first open an app, for example Safari, Google Chrome, iTunes, App Store, anything that requires an internet connection, it takes a long time to load up that first time, but after the first page has been loaded it works again fine until closing the app and re-opening it. When loading the App Store or iTunes it has even said an internet connection is required, even though my connection is fine and the other apps are still loading ok.
I first thought it was my WIFI connection but I have checked my router and everything seems fine, also my iPad and iPhone are still working fine with the internet.
Has anyone else had the same problem or can offer me a solution?I am getting the same issue, on first starting safari the first page takes an age to load.. once it has everything is fine.
I have tried the 'Reset Safari' function but no difference. This only happens on my Macbook Pro Retina, Using safari on my iphone or ipad is fine. (I connect via ethernet too so its not a wifi problem.)
Any one got an answer to this yet? -
Hi, my iphone was stolen around a month ago. After the phone popped up on find my iphone in central london the police decided to be really helpful and instead going to get it they closed my case. Since then it has been offline because the "lovely" individual who stole it obviously reset it. I was just wondering why doesnt apple track phones through the IMEI number. The number stays the same, so if the phone connects to the network they should be able to know that its my stolen iphone. I just dont understand why they dont do that. They have a huge ecosystem, and if someone signs in to my iphone with their itunes account (which they pretty much have to in order to use most of the phones features) the IMEI number gets associated with that perticular account. Would it not be possible for them to realize that its my stolen phone?
Thanks to anyone that answers.Your carrier can lock the IMEI number, try contacting them. At least you'll have the satifsaction of knowing the theif can't use it anymore. My guess is Apple doesn't block IMEI numbers because they don't want someone selling a phone without record, and then reporting it stolen and causing problems that way. But that's just a guess, I feel for ya. Good luck either way, if it's a locked phone you should be able to call the carrier it's locked to and have the IMEI blocked.

My internet is still working, but it's very intermittent. This happened after I updated the firmware a few days ago.
Did you remember to completely power cycle the entire network?
You would want to do this after any update or change to the network.
If you did not do this yet......things are out of sequence.
Power off everything on the network.....all devices.....power down order is not important
Wait a few minutes
Start the modem first and let it run a minute or two by itself
Start the next device connected to the modem the same way
Work your way out on the network starting each device about a minute apart
Check the network -
