Still on 10.6.5 but having wifi problems with Canon MP495

At least I think it is a wifi problem? Love this printer - worked brilliantly since I have had it and not had any issues with it at all once installed properly. However, over the past 3/4 weeks I keep getting communication problems and the wifi button/light flashes during printing and more often than not the printing stops and spits out the paper with only a few lines printed. I then have to pause the printer and resend several times - and I'd be lucky to get a complete print without error 1 out of 5 times. I have not changed position of the printer. The kids laptops with windows 7 did not appear to have this problem until first thing this morning when my daughter needed to print something for school on 'special paper' and guess what - it stopped and spat it out half way through! Any clues as to what to do wold be very much appreciated.

I have moved the printer as the signal was low - 38% and link 36%. It has increased slightly up to 48% but that is on the dining room table now Why would the signal change? It used to communicate without any problems at all - this is very disappointing.
There can be a number of reasons why the change has occurred but the most common is other wireless devices causing interference, and not just from your house. If a neighbour is using a wireless router on the same channel as yours then this can cause interference. A quick fix can sometimes come from turning off the wireless router for a minute and then back on. Many routers will check what wireless channels are being used and select one that is not being used by another router within range. If the router cannot do this automatically then a manual setting of a channel can help.
There are some utilities that can scan your premises for all wireless signals. This can assist with locating an unused channel. The following is an app that I have used for helping friends with wireless issues.

Can I confirm that it is actually linking with the pc/mac that sends the print and not the router?
The printer should be linking to the wireless router and the computers should also link to the same router. The printer does not support a direct connection to it from a wireless computer.
I really do not want to have to move the printer every time I/the kids need to use it. I think I'll update to 10.6.6 just to see if that makes a difference and revert soon.
I don't believe the 10.6.6 will resolve this. And you also said that the Win7 computer also had problems so it would suggest there is more of a problem with the connection from the router to the printer.

IPad mini with retina still having wifi problems with iOS 8.0.2 - slow or none. Resetting temporarily fixes problem it very annoying. Please fix Apple! Not up to scratch.

iPad mini with retina still having wifi problems with iOS 8.0.2 - slow or none. Resetting temporarily fixes problem it very annoying. Please fix Apple! Not up to scratch.

I Have followed these steps, and tried others, such as resetting all my network settings. At best these only temporarily fix the problem - wifi still becomes slow or stops. I have other Apple devices connecting fine to my airport express. why is my iPad mini not working? Is it related to the fact it is 3G and I don't have a sim card installed? It is the current top of the range model with iOS 8.0.2. I paid over the odds for the best, and it is almost completely redundant. Apple - I'm losing faith. You need to keep the public better informed and fix this problem fast, otherwise I will leave you for good.

Anyone else having WiFi problems with the IPod Touch 5th Generation?

I upgraded my old IPod Touch 3rd Generation to a 5th Generation yesterday. I've noticed however that for some reason the wi-fi connection on the 5th Generation drops off all of a sudden for no reason at all and I can't figure out why. Anyone else having similar problems? If so what did you do?

Does the iPod connect OK to other networks?
Does the iPod see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect OK?
Did the iPod connect before?
If only your network then it could be a problem with your network
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on the router
- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Is anyone else having wifi problems with IOS 6.1.3 ?

After doing the latest IOS update I can NOT get my (or my Wife's ph) to stay on wi-fi .... Apple says there is nothing wrong that they know of. Backups didn't help either .... Anyone have some thoughts ?

What steps from http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1559 have you tried?

Adobe Muse, using an adobe edge web font but having a problem with Google Chrome

I have three programs I would like to uninstall from my apple pro , also I am trying to install skype but having great problems with this to Marie

Hello, I have three programs I would like to delete and uninstall from my apple pro , plus I cant seem to install skype for some reason,as we are going to be traveling around Australia soon I would like to keep in touch with family and friends. I would be most thankfull for your help
Regards Marie

Hi Marie
Can you please describe what happens when you try to install Skype? I've found one common issue people have is that they don't actually fully install it - a lot of people download it, open the downloaded image, and run it from there - and dont actually ever copy it to their Applications folder, so next time they look for it, it can't be opened. Try again from scratch - go to the Skype website, download the file, if it doesn't automatically display the Skype disk image on your Desktop, go to your Downloads folder, locate the Skype download and double-click it to open, then, open a new Finder window and drag the Skype application from inside the disk image to your Applications folder. Once that's done you can trash the disk image. Go to your Applications folder, find Skype and launch it. Let me know if you get stuck.
As John says, it would be very helpful to know exactly which Mac you have. If its a laptop, you probably have a MacBook Pro, not a Mac Pro, which is a very large, heavy silver box and not amenable to being dragged around Australia!

Hello,having a problem with Logic 9 on a Mac Pro.Working on a lenghty song and apparently session got corrupted.Doesnt let me export tracks,program crashes.Already tried start brand new session with the tracks imported into it but still wont export.Suggestions?

Thanks, Ian. Yeah, that's how I do it now...or with the controls in the left side pane. Still, I would have liked that quick on-the-spot edit capability...especially while sketching.

Sorry Mark, you are out of luck as it does not do that - it works the same as L8. The way I would achieve that with more accuracy and control would be to route all the tracks you want to fade to a Bus then use volume automation on the bus. To do this you will need to add a standard audio track, then re-assign it using (Control Click on the track header) to the Bus track. You can then automate volume/plugins etc on the Bus track.

HT4060 I'm having some problems with my ipad and charging it. I am having to leave it in charge for a lot longer, but when I take it out and want to use it the battery is still not completely full and goes down a lot faster than usual

I'm having some problems with my ipad and charging it. I am having to leave it in charge for a lot longer, but when I take it out and want to use it the battery is still not completely full and goes down a lot faster than usual. The other day, I had charged my iPad overnight so that I could take it to university with me for the day, and when I had switched it on the next day the battery was on 5% and I had not used it since charge.

Your battery may be dying. THey are only good for so many charges/discharges. If you have an apple store near by make an appointment and have them check itout

Is anyone having a problem with the new iPad (Gen. 3) not staying connected to the charger? It seems to ALWAYS get jiggled loose and no longer be charging. My iPad 1 has no issue but I can't browse Internet w/o new iPad unplugging. Horrible!

I notice that my new IPad (3rd generation) will not stay connected to the power cord at all, I'm not exagerating, if I plug it in and browse the Internet without fail it will become unplugged and I will have to push the plug back in (Ba-beep). Ive actually grown to despise that sound when you plug your iPhone or iPad in because it reminds me of how much money I spent on something that PHYSICALLY will not charge while I'm using it.
I know the problem with it holding a charge while in use, I get it, the screen is amazing and it takes a lot to run the display, however, it is unacceptable to me that I can't even keep the thing plugged in while I'm using it. I can not even leave it on my Cal King bed overnight because I will wake up in the morning to find that the plug has been jiggled loose in a corner, so it's still attached but not making a connection thus not being charged.
I love the 4GLTE from Verizon and I love the iPad, but I'm actually using my 1st generation IPad while I am at home so I can leave my new $900 iPad on a table to charge free of incident so I can use the 4G while I'm away from wifi during the day. I have been getting more upset about this because I can not even use the Griffin extended cord to charge the iPad and be far from the plug because only the original apple sync/charge cord will have a better shot at staying in. Absolutely none of my non apple cables will stay in the iPad 3 while having it in my hands.
The plug is at an angle, unlike the first iPad, not sure about the iPad 2. Please let me know if they have same issue.
If anyone else is having this problem with the Gen 3 iPad please let me know because I'm tempted to do something about it with apple and I'm hoping that I just for some reason have a bad cable receiver or something and maybe I can get a replacement and enjoy the iPad as I had expected to. There is no reason why I should be even using my first iPad and I have friends that want to buy it but I am not selling it because I'm unable to sell it because I can't handle the new iPad while it's plugged in, that is ridiculous if it's a common issue so please let me know!

Thanks for the swift reply, I have been looking online and a loose plug seems to be somewhat of an issue with many, I hope mine is actually a problem and not what others are experiencing. It's taken me this long to even reach out for the simple fact I HATE being a complainer but this is just horrible.
Do you have an iPad 3 as well? And is yours not experiencing any issues close to mine?
Thanks again!

My iPad just stopped recognizing wifi, but my iPod and iPhone are working well. Does anyone else have a wifi problem with their iPads?

Today my iPad simply stopped recognizing the house network. I have an iPod Touch and iPhone4 that aren't having any problem with wifi.

First, try Airplane-Mode for 10 seconds. If this doesn't help, try resetting the network-configuration. This can be accomplished by heading to Settings --> General --> (at the very foot of the page) Reset --> Reset Network Settings. Then reboot iPad.
However, if all that didn't help, you can get to a near Apple Store, or, in case of functionality, there's still the guarantee.

im having a problem with my mic on my ipod 5th gen it works but it douse not pick up any sound unless I talk right next to the mic but it sounds low . how can i fix this

- Make sure the mic hole is clear and unobstructed. It is the little hole on the back by the camera lens(if has back camera). For the 16 GB one without the back camera the mic hole is on the top edge near the center.
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Having Wifi Problems since Ios 6 (iphone 4)

Hello all,
Since installing IOS6 (now at 6.0.1.) im having WIFI problems. It is an iphone problem because im tying this on the laptop and my iphone got problems. The problems show themself in the following ways:
- Cant connect to whatsapp. I see that the iphone is 'thinking' while trying to connect but it wont.
- Cant keep a signal while using facetime. It keeps disconnecting whilst im trying to call someone trough wifi and when connected i miss parts of text and after it disconnects again.
- I cant use safari or other apps requiring WIFI/3G.
I did a reset on the iphone, i cleaned the network setting, i turned the iphone off etc etc. Ik kind of did all to prevent or fix the problems.
What could be it?
What should be my next step?
Im trying another router in a week, but never had any problems before the update to 6...
Yours Faithfully,
Fissa.

If you have control of the router you should restart it. Unplug the power, unplug the ethernet signal in cable, wait a few minutes, plug the power cord back in, plug the ethernet cable back in, wait for your router to stabalize itself (Could take a few minutes.)
I had similar problems with my iPhone 4S when upgrading to iOS 6.0. Updating further to 6.0.1 seemed to help me. The other thing I discovered was that I needed to set proxy to Auto. Before I did this on the wifi net at work I had to really fight with my phone, i.e. all the things you mentioned in your post, just to connect. But when I went to Auto it made a huge difference and I can not auto connect again just by coming within range of the network.

Having many problem with wifi....after installing lion......

Having many problem with wifi....after installing lion......it connect with wifi but not with Internet and at the same time iPad 2, iPhone 4 works smooth......help......I have MacBook air without thunderbolt and mac mini

I had the same problem last night. Boot into OSX and reboot the router - fine. Boot into Windows and wrong. Here were my fixes:
Firstly, I kept all the settings on my router solid. Just leave them as they are. Boot into OSX and check the Network settings and make a note of your IP address and the router's IP address.
Second, boot into Windows, then open up your wireless connection settings and navigate through to the properties where you can set the IP address.
Third: Set the IP address to your routers IP address changing the last set of digits to a value between 5 and 255 (I have 8 devices so I set the last two digits to 10.) This will keep the IP static.
Tab through the Mask settings to default those.
Then set the default gateway to your router's IP address.
Check that the Network Adapter's setting has IPv6 disabled (uncheck the box)
Finally: Set the primary DNS server to 8.8.8.8 then the secondary to 8.8.4.4 and then reboot the router.
That's what got my connection running.
