Ready to throw in the proverbial towel...

OK, after several years of semi trouble free internet DSL and two very miserable years of constantly rebooting the modem and speeds as low as 32 K, yes 0.032 Mbps ( with uploads sort of staying in the 300 to 490 k range ), while paying for the 3.0 Mb plan, it's time to ask for advice. Can anyone recommend a moderately priced CABLE modem that has a four port router and wireless? What about just a moderately priced CABLE modem and I'll get a router with wireless? Thanks for your time. Gerard

Thanks a bunch Smith ! This message is getting shorter and shorter as when I try to post it, I get "an unexpected error" from the forum. I'll copy to the clipboard before I attempt posting it again. I didn't get pricing from the Comcast yet, not any way to try it for a month. Last time I had them, before DSL was in my area, they were pretty darn slow until after midnight. The sharing thing I guess.

  • Almost ready to throw in the Apple Towel :(

    Hi guys im really hoping someone can help me here as after 5 days of googling and pointless visits to the Apple store im still unable to use my Imac (mid2011).
    A little background i bought it 2nd hand from Ebay and it came installed with Windows 7 but for some reason no install OSX partition. I know i should have verified before buying it that it had OSX installed but i didnt. Correspondance with the seller brings up that he also doesnt have the Install discs anymore. I visited the Apple store and was told that they no longer sell hard copies of Snow Leopard and id have to download via Macstore...bare in mind ive explained to them i have no access so they tell me to purchase online. I couldnt wait and found a computer shop and bought the only version of SL they had...the 10.6.3 family pack...so at great expense i just took it home with me eager to get my Mac up and running. Off course thats where problems started on trying to install i recieved 3 beeps and the install hung at the apple logo. Online googling seemed i had faulty memory however i swapped over and my memory was fine so another expense as the memory wasnt the problem and windows worked fine. Another googling session revealed i should wipe the drive totally...so with the aid of a good linux boot cd i formatted the drive and lost the abilty to boot windows. So im now at the point where i have the drive formatted to hfs+ but STILL im getting 3 beeps Ive pretty much had enough which is a shame as its a nice addition to my studio. Another problem is i can find the seriel number because the previuose owner has modified the stand so it can be rotated...which has been done to a really good level and its great for some things...however i now cant determin the seriel number to even make a call to apple to get replacement cds!!
    PLEASE ANY help right now would be greatful as im absolutly stumped
    Thanks in advance

    There's not really a generic disc (actually there are two discs; the second one has bundled software - iLife mostly - and Apple Hardware Test).
    However, the given info might be about enough to get one that will work. I'd hope if there was a doubt they'd go for the higher OS version. The hardware drivers are likely to be the same for at least a batch.
    That info identifies it as an iMac12.1,
    EveryMac identifies that as having shipped with 10.6.6 with a build no. of 10J4026, but it could have also shipped with 10.6.7 build 10J4139.
    Ref: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1159?viewlocale=en_US
    That should be enough to get the right disc, but the serial no. would have clinched it.
    Enough to try anyway. I believe they charge around $16 per disc handling and postage (they have to burn the discs for you).
    Hope it comes good.

    Had enough. As I said before, I have a simple application that creates a box and calls a system routine to keep it on top. It runs outside jws ok. I placed the class file and the dll file in a jar. The jar files are signed.

  • (sigh) Can someone please help??? I'm ready to throw in the towel on my SECOND Mic

    So my first Zen Micro froze on me. No amount of tech support could save it. I returned it and received a new replacement. Within days my replacement had begun to freeze, and I would bravely pull out the battery and reboot it. I think (keep your fingers crossed) that I've unstuck whatever that bug was. NOW - my new issue - the dreaded "No license to play - please sync from PC" error. So, reluctantly, I downloaded the 2..05 Beta firmware, which as far as I understood it, resolved this issue specifically. After a successful download and install, I rebooted in hopes that it would be fixed. Well, it's still giving me the error. I cannot for the life of me figure out what I am doing wrong. And I am down to one download on all of my Napster 2 Go songs (due to the same problem on my first Micro). So I have three choices:
    ) Ask all of you what I can to do get this resolved easily.
    2) Delete my entire library, and use my last sync license and load it all onto my Micro again (which is a good hour project)
    3) Gi've up an buy an iPod. I am pulling out my hair in frustration, and I'm telling you... I always felt the same way you all did about Apple and the iPod. But the reality is, NONE of my friends have my harware/software issues. All I ask for is two consecuti've weeks of listening to my MP3 player without license issues, frozen hard dri'ves, reboots, pulling out the battery numerous times, etc. I just want to listen.... turn it off.... and know that it will turn back on again when I want it to.
    Someone please help, and convince me that I should give this one last shot!!

    Well, it's perfectly understandable that your iPod-bearing friends don't have issues with N2Go, because they can't use it!
    So I guess you have to determine whether your problems lie with the actual player or the N2Go service.
    Do you have problems playing/synching songs you've ripped yourself or that you've bought from a service other than N2Go?

  • Ready To Throw In The Towel...ugh!!

    So I started working on rebuilding my credit and paying off some old debts in June.   I significantly raised my scores from low 500's to almost 600 across the board to date.  Last week, I started working on the medical collections.  I called the CA and asked to have a print out of all my accounts in collections.  The facility uses a particular CA.  There are many that I have.  Each visit etc counts as a separate account.  The CA was very nice, said she would call me back once she got all accounts and exactly how much I owed in order.  I was planning on calling them back, because I hadn't heard nothing back from her.  Today, I got alerts of a new collection account and a change in my FICO score.  I looked and OMG, 8 new collections accounts were addded from the CA that I spoke with last week.  My scores took an 18 point nose dive!  I'm so mad, because she never called me back and let it hit my reports.  Yes, I owe these debts.  I have had the worst 2 years of my life, wasn't ignoring the bills intentionally....the company I worked for went bankrupt, couldn't find work, I put myself through nursing school and my daughter had major medical bills.  I had to survive until I found work, so hence, the medical bills had to wait.  I am now in the position to make good on my past obligations and trying to do so.  I just don't know what to do now, so frustrated and upset!   Sorry, just had to vent.  I love this board and all of the positive members here.  Thanks for all your help.

    Well, I did call and they are telling me that they can only update the CRA's as paid, that they can't delete....now what..Well...At least we all know that they are liars now...Don't we? Okay, you need to call the medical facility and try to pay the bills off that way first. Be honest and explain your situation just like you did here. Ask them if they can recall your accounts from collections and you would be happy to pay them. Just know this, they have the power to recall these accounts if they want to. You need to make sure that your sob story is powerful enough to get them to do this. Be prepared to pour it on when you make this call. If you are successful at having the accounts recalled this would be your best and easiest way to pay off the collections. I can't say this enough, you need this phone call to be successful. Stay on the phone until they agree to recall your bills. Write down a list of questions before you make this call that you can ask them if they say no. Keep asking questions. Keep them on the line until they say yes. Keep asking them to recall the accounts. Tell them you don't want to deal with that MEAN woman at the CA. She had you in tears the last time you spoke with her. Like I said...Pour it on. Please don't make any actual payments until you stop back here and let us know what has transpired. Once you make the first payment you are committed. As long as you owe them money you are in the driver's seat. YOU CAN DO THIS!!! GO GET'EM!!! Good luck!+1 Excellent advice here.  Even if this doesn't work and the CA won't do a pay-for-delete, pay the collections anyway and google the HIPAA removal process (we are not allowed to talk about it here) and then you can contact the creator for help. Medical collections tend to be the easiest to get off your reports. Good luck and YOU CAN DO THIS! 

  • STILL can't get Videos into 5G iPod , Ready to throw it out the window

    I'm ready to throw this iPod out the window , I spent all day yesterday over 10 hours , trying to get videos onto my iPod , my iPod software and iTunes are up tp date , first I just drag and dropped them as MPEG no luck iTunes recognized and played them but wouldn't let me drag and drop them to the iPod then I used iSquint , it converted them to MPEG 4 , they transferd into iTunes and played but not the iPod I got an error that they weren't transferable and not recognized by the iPod .
    I called Appe this morning and they were no help since I didn't get the Vid's from the appple store and since you only get one free service call ,and wouldn't tell me the format for the videos I didn't want to waste it . They suggested I buy Quicktime Pro .
    Then I tried , Movies For My iPod . I used the transfer for iPod option , it converted them to .mp4.m4v . I drag and dropped them directly to the iPod no luck , they're there but wont play or show up in the iPod then I opened up iTunes and drag and droppped them into iTunes again played in iTunes not transfered to the iPod although it said it was updating .
    Then ,I tried the custom settings file format MP4 , video format , MPEG-4 Improved , Image Size 320 X 240 QVGA , again I tried to drag and drop them onto the iPod still not there , now I tried to drag and drop unto iTunes , again they're there and play but won't show up on the iPod . I've pretty much had it .
    In the Movies For MY iPod they're are some custom settings . File Format MP4(ISMA) In the Video there is an MPEG-4 Improved setting with a bit rate of 256 kbits/sec Image size 320x 240 QVGA frame rate 30 plus alot of other settings which I have no idea what they are .
    Today I have 6 hours of frustration into this still no luck . I'm really disappointed with Apple ,I started out with the first iMac a Bondi Blue and have been working my way up , I have an iBook , an iMac Graphite , a G4 iMac a 15G 3G iPod now the 5G iPod . Apple should have included Quick Time pro in the G5 , and only one support call, come on , even Dell gives you a year of support .
    And to top it all off the Black is beautiful but scratches easily , I'm a chef , my nails very short and allready it's scratched to bits by the wheel, I keep it in a case when I'm playing it , you can hardly touch it . I'm not very happy with Apple and this iPod , they rushed it out for the holiday , so if your in the jacksonville Florida area look for a flying iPod .

    Lets run down a list of possibilities:
    1) You are using iTunes 6 here, correct?
    2) You did not say whether or not you are running in auto-sync, manual management, or "Enable Disk" mode. If you left it in the default mode as installed (auto-sync), then after dropping your movies into iTunes (or adding them to the Library), simply connect your iPod and allow it to auto-sync (mirror) the current contents of iTunes. (You can also try "Update iPod" option under the File menu, but I have found it unreliable -- possibly owing to "sleeping" iPod.)
    3) Not sure if your reference to "dropping the movie on the iPod" is a reference to the iPod desk icon in manua/disk enabled mode or the iPod "Source" reference/associaed contents list in iTunes. Could you clarify where you are attempting to "drag 'n drop" and/or the selected sync mode of operation in your iPod Preferences.
    4) As to conversion to iPod compatible formats, recommend you stick with MoviesForMyPod and/or iSquint if you are restricted to QT Pro 6 and not sure what settings to use for MPEG4 preset collection/QuickTime Movie full manual mode.

    I used to use the free version of Adobe Reader to convert my publisher files to pdf files. When I was making a booklet for our hockey team, it said I had to buy it. Now I bought it and it won't convert the files. I am ready to throw this computer out the window!! Can you tell me what is the problem? No it does not exceed 100 M. either.

    Adobe Reader never converted Publisher files to PDF, for free, never. I suspect you use to have the (paid for) Adobe Acrobat. Sometimes people have Acrobat (more than $300 worth) and install Adobe Reader over the top, losing that valuable software.
    That said, if you subscribed to PDF Pack it should do this conversion. What exactly happens now.

    Sorry, does this link work

    I ended up having them call me then was able to give them 1 of my secret questions right and they reset things so I could reset all my secret questions.
    Try going into contact support and see if you can schedule a call. There seems to be some issues with peoples' id's and this update. iTunes thought that I'd never bought anything from my computer or device before, and I clearly had, so it's like it got confused. THen I tried to get my questions reset, but the mail never came, which is why I just got a phone call because I felt it was 'real person' time.

        Hi kiz,
    I also have the Galaxy S3 and I have not experienced any issues with calls. I want you to have the same experience! As indicated by Ann154 (thank you!), the coverage in your area may have something to do with the quality of your calls. Please provide us with your ZIP code and we'll check the type of coverage in your area. We can also replace the SIM card to ensure that this issue is not SIM card related. If you have not requested a SIM card replacement yet, please follow me and send me a DM with your account number and I will follow up with you to order a SIM card replacement.

  • Linksys connection problems (ready to throw the thing out the window)

    I own a G4 powerbook OSX 10.3.9. and use a WRT54G v5 router. Everything was working fine up until a week ago. Now, I am CONSTANTLY losing my connection and because of this, I have to reboot the router every day. Even then the signal only works for a few hours. I've upgraded to the latest firmware and that hasn't helped.
    I'm at my wits end here and don't know what to do. It's so very frustrating. Can anyone make any suggestions? I'm seriously ready to throw my powerbook out the window.
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi-
    Welcome to Discussions!
    So, what happened about a week ago? There has to be something that happened to cause this trouble. Did you have a freeze/crash? Hard shutdown? Kernel panic? Did you install something other than firmware? Any security updates?
    Unless you have cleared your logs, you can look at your system logs (Console/logs/system.log and ppp logs (in Console/logs/var/log). you may find a hint as to what started occuring around the time of your troubles beginning.
    It could be a DNS problem, and the following link has an in depth discussion and fixes, regarding such:

  • Ready to throw the printer out the window!!!!!!!

    So i've been trying to update my portfolio and im ready to throw this printer out the window and probably never buy another HP product if someone cant help me fix this problem. Everytime i go to print whether its landscape or potrait it cuts the top of my photo off.  This is a new problem, its never happened before up until now.  I have spent days trying everything, ive tried printing it off my Samsung galaxy tab S.  My desktop.  i have tried resetting the printer, updated the software, troubleshooting, aligning, everything and have gone through $100 worth of ink to get nothing out of it.  I am very angry with this product.  what the hell is wrong with **bleep** thing?????? havent even owned it for a year!!!!!!

    Hello,  In the printing App that you are using, there should be an setting option to select the Paper Type and Size. Make sure you got that settings changed to the type and size of paper you are wanting to print on. I am not sure if you are  using the inbuilt app of Samsung to print or HP's ePrint & All in One Remote app . ? HP ePrint app is used for printing using.HP All in One Remote app is used for Scanning . Click HERE to access more info on this Apps.

  • Airport Extreme Base Station - I am ready to throw this thing...

    Dear All,
    I'm about ready to throw this thing out the window, along w/ everything else from Apple I own... Sorry, at my wits-end and have finally had it with this thing.
    My g/f and I live in an apt with an Airport Extreme Base Station (AEBS), 10/100baseT Switch, Xbox 360, PC clone tower (PowerSpec), and two Centrino Laptops... The topology our network is the following
    DSL == Modem => AEBS => 10/100 Switch => (XBox 360, Powerspec)
    Every other day, the AEBS drops out for no obvious reason. Not only for no reason, it DROPS the connection and causes interference on our wired network. If I'm playing Call of Duty 2, for instance, and using Skype at the same time, anywhere from 10-30min later, the WiFi connection will drop altogether and the wired network will go down too.
    I've done multiple hard-resets and the issue persists. Apple wants $80 to talk to me (after we paid $150 for it because it's supposedly "the best") after only owning it for a little over a year. It seems that this problem has been persistent.
    My g/f finally cracked down and bought a Verizon EVDO card and uses it while she is out, but in the house because she cannot use our home network reliably.
    I've tried using it on WPA2, WEP, and even left it open but the thing still drops for no reason...sometimes within hours, or two two days. I'll come home, boot up my laptop, and the WiFi is completely gone...non-existant. Boot hers, same thing... I doubt it's interference because we have 1 cordless phone and it's a 900mhz, which we rarely use anyway.
    Does anyone else have any of the problem(s) we're having? This has been semi-often since we got it, and all Apple told us was "interference" and won't help us because we use PC (I used to own a Mac, hence why I got this).

    Update: Well, the AEBS 'bombed' out again when I got home on Friday, no access whatsoever.
    I unplugged my DSL modem from it, plugged it in directly to my HP notebook, and was surfing the 'net w/out a problem. Power cycled the AEBS and it worked fine. That was just over one day on firmware v5.5.1, longer than it lasted on v5.7.
    Here's my conclusion...
    I'm 'convinced' that v5.7 is buggy and it's known, or well documented. It will cost more money to fix it, or release a new firmware version that repairs the bugs from v5.7, than to just leave it alone and hope people either downgrade to v5.5.1 or purchase a new AEBS (w/ 802.11n).
    After countless hours of dealing w/ this, of which I feel like a complete and utter fool, I went out and bought a competitor's product (Linksys) and installed it on Saturday morning. As of this writing, I've had no drop-outs and the access seems to be more punctual, or responsive than when I was accessing under my AEBS. Therefore, I'm happy to say my problem of unreliable WiFi access in my apt is solved, but only after spending $50 to purchase a new router.
    I spent $180 on the AEBS and I can remember the first time I had to call AppleCare about printing issues I was having with it; I could print from Windows XP (both wired and wireless), but not from Tiger OSX 10.4. No-one had a clue, but was only told that the issue was my "printer" not the AEBS or my Mac. Despite repeated attempts to re-inform that it works just fine under Windows XP with both my Lexmark and Canon inkjets, it would not print properly (bombed out half/way through the page) under Mac OSX.
    So, here on my shelf, sits the Airport Extreme Base Station that I paid $180 for, and it is basically useless. Apple could care less about it, but then again, why should they--after all, it had a 1 year warranty and despite trying to resolve issues I had w/ it while it was in fact within the warranty period, that time has come and gone.

  • HT201274 So I have tried to update my iPod touch about 5 times now and it still says there is an error. I,ve erased all my settings and attempted to restore it, but it wont let me. I'm ready to throw it away and find a new product.

    Errors when updating leads to corrupt system files and this may be your problem. If you're using windows, connect your device to PC and run any third party app like Syncios. If it detects, you maybe in luck and try to back-up your data if possible. I hope that it won't and if doesn't, there is no other way to recover files. You should be restoring with iTunes and all data will be erased, or else your device may become unusable.
