Suddenly unable to connect to Orange Livebox after over a year of use

I have been able to successfully connect to my Orange Livebox since getting my Ipod touch over a year ago but suddenly can't any longer. My livebox shows the Ipod as paired & Wifi enabled & my Ipod can see my Livebox but just wont connect. It says unable to join Livebox. It asks for the password which I enter (I never had to do that before it started playing up) but it still wont let me in.
I've treid to reset back to factory settings & reset network. It won't let me "forget this network" & try to pair again.
Any ideas most welcome please as I'm getting very frustrated.
Thank you.

"E_ADEPT_IO ActivationServiceInfo...", means that ADE could not contact the Adobe activation server (adeactivate.adobe.com).  If you network is setup correctly and you can get to the server in the browser, then the next most likely problem is a firewall (McAffee, LittleSnitch, etc...) prevent ADE from getting outside network access.

  • New iPad won't connect to Orange Liveboxs router...

    New iPad 16gig wifi won't connect to Orange Livebox router...
    I can see the router available as a choice in a list of wireless routers(presumably the neighbours' as well), I can select it, it changes from Gray to Black but then removes itself from the window...
    I DO get a message about the 'base station', does this indicate a router issue?
    I have a G5PPC imac working and a G4 powerbook and an iPhone all on this wireless connection - I can switch iPhone wifi on and off and the Livebox is readily found...
    I also have access to a 10.6 macbook and it's network choice behaves in this fashion also - ethernet OK but no wireless....

    I had the same problem. Unfortunately it seems that the Orange Live Box, which was previously the Wanadoo Live Box, is not compatible with a Mac. You can confirm this in the instructions for the Live Box. Completely rubbish and hopefully after mass buying of Apple products will convince Orange to upgrade their technology.
    The solution that I use is to use a second router plugged in to the Live Box and connect to that instead. I can recommend the FONERA SIMPL from http://www.fon.com/en/product. I've now bought 2 as my parents also use the Orange Live Box at their house.
    Hope that helps.

  • Unable to connect to Apple TV after install Mavericks

    Hello I'm unable to connect to Apple TV after install Mavericks. :-(
    The icon of the Apple TV no longer appers on the top menu and my Mac is unable to discover it...
    The Apple TV Box is upedated to the most recent software version.
    Apple TV is connected to the same Wifi network of my Mac
    I have a:

    Hello M.A.S.Ramos,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    For more information, take a look at:
    OS X Mavericks: Wirelessly mirror your Mac screen to your HDTV
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH14375
    Make sure your Mac and your Apple TV are on the same network.
    Choose your Apple TV from the AirPlay status icon in the menu bar.
    Choose This Mac or your Apple TV depending on how you want to match the desktop size of your Mac.
    OS X automatically detects an Apple TV when it’s on the same network, and displays the AirPlay icon in the menu bar. When AirPlay Mirroring is active, the status icon is blue.

  • Unable to connect Wi-Fi network after ISO 6 update

    unable to connect Wi-Fi network after ISO 6 update. I'm not impressed.

    I updated to ISO 6 on my Daughters Iphone 4S, my Iphone 4, and I have now received my new Iphone 5 yesterday and now all 3 of them have wi-fi issues. I know its not my wi-fi because My Daughters Ipad 2 and my Wife's Iphone 4 is still on 5.11 and the wi-fi works fine. I cant understand why apple have not been saying what's going on and when they will fix it. I have tried everyone's suggestions on this forum and the Internet. Still no luck.

  • Suddenly unable to connect to home network

    My new Macbook 2.0Ghz recognised our home wireless network within seconds of being set up, and has worked fine for 2 days. But today it is no longer connecting.
    The network appears under the airport icon in the menu bar, but when I click on it an alert box comes up after about 20 seconds saying ‘There was an error joining the airport network Netgear.’
    According to Network Diagnostics, all the network systems have failed. The Network icon in the Finder side bar no longer shows a server, and the System Profiler says ‘Wireless network not available’.
    We have 2 other Macs in the house, and they are both working fine. Any ideas about what’s suddenly gone wrong with my new Macbook, and how to fix it?
    Many thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

    I don't want to start fiddling around with the hardware on my new machine, Rick, but I've tried a few other things.
    I changed the channel on my router from 11 to 3 this morning, and it appeared to work - suddenly I could connect straight away, even with all the other computers using the internet. However, when I started my macbook up later on, it did not connect.
    It does seem that if I reboot the router and go online first (ie. with the other computers switched off), I can connect. But obviously that's not a proper fix!
    I've also downloaded iStumbler on all the computers, and it shows 0% noise for the connection on the others, but 9% on my macbook. I don't know if this is perhaps affecting my connection?
    I've also tried resetting the network settings (by removing the SystemConfiguration folder) and manually configuring my connection, but with no success.
    Has any one got any ideas?

  • Why iCal cancel of event edits issue is still not fixed after over 2 years?

    Why iCal "cancel of event edits" issue is still not fixed after over 2 years?
    I have been in the software engineering industry for over 14 years, but I have never seen a large corporation being so slow at addressing major issues like these.
    What would it take for Apple to start working on this issue?

    Yup. This is fully ridiculous that you can't cancel your updates once you start. I love the tool but this is on pretty significant issue.
    Sometimes I accidentally move a mtg or make some edit while viewing and you can't back you!!
    If you feel the same way, you should post a note here:

  • Suddenly unable to connect to my webserver

    Hi everyone.
    So I ran into a sticky situation on a swf that has been working quite well for several years and this morning out of the blue my test movie (local) suddenly refuses to connect to my web server. I think the culprit is the new flash debug player I installed last night. I upgraded to 10.1 from 9.something. After sifting through countless google searches and beating my head against my desk for the past few hours Im at a total loss as to what happened and how to get my local testing working once again. The really confusing thing is that I can publish and upload to my web server and it works just fine. (Not really an option as a compile/upload takes a bit less than 10 mins)
    Im running Flash Pro 8
    So the first thing I did was uninstall the new flash debug player. Ran a test movie, no luck (Error opening url()...)
    Next I downloaded and installed Flash player 9 content debugger (netscape-compatible browsers). Ran a test move, no luck
    Gotta be my server then, nope all directories/files and permissions are exactly the same.
    Hummm... I wonder if I can connect to my server at all? I uploaded a brand new test file (test.txt) to the server and open it in a browser to make sure its accessible. Created a new fla with the following code:
    var server:String = "http://www.campaign63.com/resources/test.txt";
    this.createTextField("params_txt", 10, 10, 10, 100, 21);
    params_txt.autoSize = "left";
    System.security.allowDomain(server); //shouldnt be necessary but I want to rule as much out as I can
    var my_lv:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
    my_lv.onLoad = function(success:Boolean) {
        if (success) {
            trace("text file successfully loaded");
            params_txt.text = my_lv.testValue;
        } else {
            params_txt.text = "unable to load text file";
    my_lv.load(server);
    with the local playback security set to "Access network only"
    Fails: "Error opening URL "http://www.campaign63.com/resources/test.txt""
    To rule out my code I change the first line to: var server:String = "test.txt"; it works (regardless of the local playback security setting)
    Im am at a total loss...
    Any help would be greatly appreciated

    Yeah, I did that after thoroughly reading the page
    Still no luck. As I was doing that I noticed that I didnt get the "sandbox" message with the setting tab that would take you to the FP global setting page unless I tried to open the swf from windows explorer. Opening from Flash it just give the "error connecting to url..." message. Anyway I did add the local folder location that contains all the related project files. Also when I right click and "open with" I am only give the option to open with Flash Player 8.0 r22. I cant find the new Player that I just reinstalled (after a restart). Not even with a windows search. However if I verify my version I get 10,1,53,64 debug yes.
    Just to verify that something in flash could connect to the internet my old ftp login for "open from site" can connect. It has to be the player, right?

  • I have a 5th generation iPod touch that is suddenly "unable to connect to the server", not entirely sure what this means but I'm unable to connect to the internet even though I'm connected to Wifi. Can't connect to iTunes on my pc either. Any input?

    I have a 16GB iPod touch that suddenly stopped connecting to the internet last night. Everytime I try to get mail, or access anything with Safari I get a message saying that it can't connect to the server. Also I've plugged it in to my home computer but it won't connect to iTunes either. I haven't updated to iOS8 yet as I didn't have enough space for it and I had planned on deleting all my music files, updating the software and putting whatever music I could fit back on to the device afterward, but now I'm hesitant to do that as I have no way to get any of the files back onto the device. Could this be because I haven't updated to iOS8 yet? I've been having other problems such as apps crashing unexpectedly lately as well, for example my music shuts off randomly and apps such as Twitter and Tumblr and a few others crash on launch. I'm definitely not a genius when it comes to technology by any means, so I have no idea what's causing this problem or how to fix it, any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Does the iOS device connect to other networks? If yes that tend to indicate a problem with your network.
    Does the iOS device see the network?
    Any error messages?
    Do other devices now connect?
    Did the iOS device connect before?
    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 your router
    .- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings

    - 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 and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • N95 WLAN Connection problems - Orange Livebox (UK)

    I am trying to get the N95 to connect to the internet wirelessly through Orange Livebox (UK). I have run the WLAN wizard and the phone has identified it. I have input the WEP key and thats worked fine.......except everytime I try to connect to the net via this method I get a connection error. Has anybody else had WLAN connection problems? Can anybody help?

    hi,
    did you press "1" button at the back of the Livebox before pairing ?
    what kind of error message do you get on the N95 ?
    does it fail the same way when you go through the homescreen "WiFi scanning / Start Web Browsing" or through Tools / WLAN Wizard ?
    Cheers,

  • Unable to connect to wireless network after software update

    on updating the software on my Ipad 3 I am unable to connect to my office wireless network

    Look at iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections  http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
    iPad: Issues connecting to Wi-Fi networks  http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3304
    iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4199
    Additional things to try.
    Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

  • I just updated to lastest OS,  i get error msg unable to connect to server. After update, I couldnt complete the update process.  How do i fix?

    I couldnt complete the process after the update.  The system wouldnt accept my 2nd email address.  Now i am unable to restart that process.  I get Unable to connect to server everytime i try to access my ICloud from my iphone

    If you buy an iLife '11 install DVD (eBay, Amazon) you could upgrade your iPhoto right away. The earlier iPhoto '11 versions are compatible with MacOS X 10.6.8.
    but I can't until I upgrade from OS X 10.6.8.  Trying to figure out how to do that...
    To upgrade to Mt. Lion see here:  You can buy it and download it from the appStore, if your mac is compatible:

    You, or someone using your computer, may have hacked the system to redirect queries to certain servers. The file modified is /etc/hosts.
    The easiest way to fix the hosts file is to restore it from a backup that predates the modification, or to copy the unmodified file from another Mac. If you can't do that, then do as below.
    Back up all data.
    If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    open -e /etc/hosts
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting. A TextEdit window should open. At the top of the window, you should see this:
    # 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
    Below that, you'll see some other lines. There should be nothing above the first line "##". If you have any doubt about that, STOP and ask for guidance. Make sure you scroll all the way to the bottom. Scroll bars are hidden by default until you actually start scrolling, so you may not realize that you’re not seeing the whole document.
    If the contents of the TextEdit window are as described, close it, then enter the following command in the Terminal window in the same way as before (by copy and paste):
    sudo sed -i~ '11,$d' /etc/hosts
    This time, you'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. Confirm. Quit Terminal.
    If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator. Log in as one and start over.
    That will fix the hosts file. There is now a copy of the old hosts file with the name "hosts~" in the same folder as "hosts". You can delete the copy if you wish. Don't delete the file named "hosts".

  • Still getting 'unable to connect to background process" after clean install

    I just did an erase and install on my system, installed FCP and DVDSP/Compressor (FCP HD), tried to export a file, and am getting that error still.
    It does seem odd though that it seemed to remember my settings, because it noted that my firewire drive was missing. Also, I got that Qmaster error (An item in the Startup Items folder ("/Library/Startup Items/Qmaster") does not have the proper security settings. The first time I got the error, I hit 'decide later: and tried to export. Had a problem. Then I hit 'fix' the next time the error came up, but it did not fix the problem as Compressor will not export.
    Everything else seems new though, from scratch.
    Compressor worked fine until recently.
    What do I do now?

    Well somehow I'm not getting that startup error anymore. I've tried a bunch of things and one of them was, I think, to choose 'fix' in the dialog box.
    In answer to the above question, Compressor version is 1.21 (was 1.2 but I upgraded as suggested in the Apple article. Final Cut Pro HD 4.5 .
    I'll say it again before everyone reminds me of the need to upgrade: yes I'm aware but cannot afford it at this time.
    It appears that Compressor and my internet network connection do not play well together. So I've done a bunch of tests and the only thing that seems to work is the thing suggested in this article: http://www.kashum.com/rbf.pl?c=blog&i=1152611689&referer=r .
    I went into system prefs>network and under location, created a new location. Under that new location, under the 'show' menu, I chose 'network port configurations' and unchecked all the ports, and hit apply now. This basically disabled all the network ports. I restarted the computer and the compressor export worked.
    It's not a total fix, but at least it's something.
    Testing a little further, it appears to be the built in ethernet that's causing the problem. I unchecked each port individually, restarting the computer after each one then trying to export a clip. When I start ithe system with the ethernet unchecked, then try to export through Compressor, it works. When I then check the ethernet port and turn it back on, with FCP still running, it continues to work. If, however, I restart the computer with the ethernet checked and turned on, the compressor unable to connect message comes back, and stays there until the computer is restarted with the network port disabled.
    This would make sense because not long ago I got my Qwest DSL hooked up and that was probably around the time this problem started happening. For some reason I had no issue when I had my Comcast on. Oh well. So something's definitely funky in the settings.
    I"m not a programmer so I did my best with the things the article suggested - some I could figure out, some not so much, but the only thing that seems to help is this network fix.
    Not sure if someone posted this article earler or if I just ran across it in my own search - will have to go back and check - but if so, thanks. I need to go back and check the points things on those posts anyway.
    I'm at a loss how to fix this any other way. I guess for now I"ll have to either turn the internet off and restart the system before exporting a project, or start the system with the ethernet off and go in and turn the port on manually each time - major pain. But if only I had done this before doing an erase and reinstall! I've been down for weeks going through files, backups to get ready picking at solutions, trying to figure out how to do these fixes. The good side of this is that 1) those files needed to be backed up anc cleaned out anyway, 2) It made me pay attention to the fact that I've been sloppy about my backup system, and 3) I now know how to erase and reinstall and it's not such a scary prospect. So if something happened in the future and it required that, I'm now more prepared to handle it and know that as long as things are backed up well, the computer's not going to smoke and blow up under those circumstances. =)
    Does it seem odd to anyone that I would do an erase and reinstall, boot up FCP, and it would remember my settings and send up a reminder that my firewire drive is missing? It appears that every other thing in the system is new.
    After all the main software is reinstalled, I'll mess with some system updates and QT updates to see how they affect things and update you guys on that.
    If anyone can suggest a more complete fix, now that I"ve narrowed it down to a network compatibility issue, please let me know. Thanks
