Hi
Your notebook supports the Realtek 802.11(b/g/n) RTL8188CE WLan chip.
First of all you should check the control panel -> software are
Check if there is something installed related to Realtek Wlan driver.
If yes, then uninstall this piece of software firstly.
If you will not find any Realtek Wlan software there, I recommend downloading the driver from here:

The latest available version seems to be 1005.19.0420.2011
feedback would be appreciated...

I have been using Firefox for almost a year now,and had upgraded to Version 7 recently.
My problem started with the downloads.
1) When a download is to be commenced,a box appears with two options,namely "SAVE" and "CANCEL".
Even when I click on "SAVE",the the box shows it as 'cancelled'.When I right click on the box,another dialogue box appears with a number of choices ,the top one reads 'RETRY'.
When I click this option the download starts and it is shown in the chosen location until 99% is completed,bu the moment the download is complete,the item i.e. the downloaded item just disappears from the chosen location and is not traceable thereafter.This has happened to me repeatedly over the past week or so and I am so disgusted that I have been compelled to uninstall Firefox,and have started using Chrome.
Please help,as I would like to get back to using Firefox again but without the above problems.Understood. However, the point that I'm trying to make is that it's not the WiFi access point's security that's in question, it's having your phone's WiFi in an always-on mode that's in question. It's simple: if your phone's WiFi is on, then it is both discoverable and hackable... even when it's not connected to a WiFi network or access point. Here's an article about a drone in London that was created to hack smartphone WiFi signals (and hackers have been doing what this drone does for years):
http://money.cnn.com/2014/03/20/technology/security/drone-phone/
The point is that it's not secure to have your phone's WiFi in an always-on mode. It would be better for privacy and security if Apple made WiFi location aware so that it is only enabled when you are at a trusted location (e.g. your home or office). Or, at least give us the option of location aware WiFi so that each user can determine the best mode for their phone:
(1) Always-On (current default - not secure and many privacy issues).
(2) Trusted mode (only on at trusted locations).
(3) Off. -
Safari disappeared from the device, nowhere to download it again !????
Safari just vanished from my iPad, can not find anywhere to make a fresh download, even after restor, it is there, once you sink it will disappear again !
Safari can't be deleted. However, it can be hidden if restrictions are enabled for Safari. Check Settings >General > Restrictions.
If it's not restricted, it's probably in a folder with some other apps.
You can go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset home screen layout to reset the original icons to their original positions with other apps following in alphabetical order -
Why would Tips From the Top Floor just disappear from the iTunes podcast store?
My favorite photography podcast is no longer on the store. I know the owner is still making them and. he didn't do anything to cause the change. Any idea what is going on?
I think there is or was an issue with iTunes Match and Genius not working well together. See this link http://www.ehmac.ca/archive/index.php/t-99076.html
I think there's a separate issue that Genius is not working with any songs released after around April 2011. There's a thread on that here: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2744045 This issue came up last year as well, as Genius wasn't updating for anything from 2010-2011. Then one day it suddenly started going again. So my theory is it is something at Apple's end, flicking a switch, refreshing a database, not really sure. -

I am trying to setup my new time capsule but it is not working. after entering the airport utility and locating the TC, after I tell the program to continue, the unit just disappear from the menu and the setup menu says there is an error. I tried using the wireless connection, and also the cable, but none worked. Any idea of what could be happening?
What are you setting it up as.. join wireless network .. the very worst setup, it will disappear.. reboot the whole network in order modem. router TC.. clients and it will likely reappear.
Tell us what network setup you are using..
If you setup with cable to a computer completely isolated from the network with TC also isolated.. finish the setup of everything you want. .before update.. then plug it into the network. .then restart everything in correct order.. it will work most of the time. -
How to keep clients from disappearing from the SCCM console
I am running SCCM2012R2 in an environment with about 60 desktops as well as 8 laptops that are only occasionally connected to our internal network.
I've noticed that some computers such as the laptops that are seldom on the network and desktops that have been sitting ready in a cabinet for several months have disappeared from the Devices list.
I assume this is part of aging old clients out but I would like those clients to remain, possibly forever and then I can manually remove as needed.
I assume the settings I need to change are in Monitoring->Client Status which are all set to the defaults. Or do I just need to turn off something in Site Maintenance? Or both?
ThanksClient Status Settings has a maximum of 30 days.
You can max it out, but additionally, you also need to configure the Site Maintenance Tasks (there are
a few - e.g. Delete Aged Discovery Data). Just check their purpose on technet.

Crash when selecting an iOS device from the 'Devices' navigator
While waiting for the iTunes 11.1.4 mess to get sorted out, I just noticed that iTunes 11.1.3 now crashes whenever I select an IOS devices (iPad4, iPhone4s) from the 'Devices' navigator. This is a recent phenomenon since the last time I sync'd which was a week ago. I'm able to sync/backup ok, but I can't navigate the device with out crashing. The following Windows application error event gets generated when I click on the device:
Faulting application name: iTunes.exe, version: 11.1.3.8, time stamp: 0x5274a87d
Faulting module name: CoreFoundation.dll, version: 1.630.18.0, time stamp: 0x50a590d1
Exception code: 0xc0000005
Fault offset: 0x00055d65
Faulting process id: 0x16c8
Faulting application start time: 0x01cf1a0b81ee532a
Faulting application path: C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes\iTunes.exe
Faulting module path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support\CoreFoundation.dll
Report Id: f1274fa4-85ff-11e3-948b-485b3912d7df
This has all the hallmarks of crash resulting from an attempt to digest bad data. Since my iOS devices have pretty much the same stuff on them, I think there must be a bad app or the like causing it. Probably someing I picked up while take updates directly from the App Store and then syncing back to iTunes. For kicks I tried connecting an ancient iPod 3d gen nano I have and that worked flawlessly, so I'm even more suspicious that it's a data corruption problem.
I'm new to the Apple support community ecosystem. Is there anything I should be doing to raise a defect / bug with Apple? Have others experienced this sort of thing?
Thanks,
-pAre you asking about syncing using iTunes?
iTunes will sync jpeg previews images to your iOS devices, that are reduced in size. It creates a cache inside your photo libraries - the iPod Photo Cache.
See: iTunes: Understanding the iPod Photo Cache folder
or: Syncing photos using iTunes
If you want to have the original raw photos on your iDevices, upload them using the Photo Stream; that supports a variety of other formats ( JPEG, TIFF, PNG, and most RAW photo formats).

Hello!
So basically, I got a lot of the songs on my iPod from a different Apple ID than to the one I am currently using. I want to sync my iPod to the Apple ID I am currently using but I want to know if the songs on my iPod from the previous Apple ID will disappear off of the iPod or go all grey so that I cant select them? I know that Apple says that it will delete the songs from my old Apple ID but what I noticed is that when I've deleted songs from my iPod using iTunes in the past is that they don't disappear from the iPod, they stay there but the names go grey so that I cant select them. Basically I want to know which will happen. Sorry if this is a bit confusing...
Thanks!See Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

and all of his music has disappeared from the iPhone and from the iTunes library! Luckily he does have music still stored on his iPod, but I can't get it from the library on his iPod back to the phone or to itunes.Please help, but technophobe so put it in simple english please!
Sounds like the music you had on your phone was not the same music on his computer. The iPhone/iPod touch is not designed to be a storage device. When you sync with a computer that doesn't have your music, it deletes your music from your phone.
Was this music you purchased from iTunes? if so, and you are in the US, tap on itunes app, tap updates, tap purchased and tap on the cloud icon to get each song back. If you're not int he us, get iOS5 update later this week and do the same.
But you need to move your itunes library to his computer. Create a user account on his macbook pro for you. From your external drive backup, load your itunes library on it. Then sync as usual! (Don't tell me you don't have a backup for your computer!) -
My albums and slideshows disappeared from the left column when I ejected a Canon camera after a download. My version of iPhoto '08 (V7.1.5(378)) had just crashed when I first connected the Canon camera to download. I restarted iPhoto.....successfully downloaded 22 photos, and ejected Canon camera, upon which albums & slideshows highlighted blue and disappeared from the left column. The photos still seem to be under the EVENTS and PHOTOS in the LIBRARY. Any thoughts?

Very shortly after someone lifted my iPad, the device disappeared from the list of devices in "Find my iPhone". iOS 7 was installed on it and "Find my iPad" enabled and "erase data" was enabled for the passcode. Is there any other reason why the iPad no longer appears in the list of devices?

My Nano 6th gen has disappeared from my devices in itunes and also from programmes on my computer. I have tried all the troubleshooting and it has not fixed it?
There is nothing wrong with the OS update.
Delete ALL your email accounts.
Restart Playbook
Put the accounts back and ensure they are all set with PUSH ON. Manual (push off) will burn battery.
Similarly delete your wifi connections and add back when required.
Turn off wifi is not connected to wifi.
Any "hunting for connection" in email or wifi will burn up battery.
