T42p lost all wireless post upgrade to Win XP SP3

T42p running Win XP w/ SP2 was running fine with no issues when the harddrive crashed. I replaced the hardrive and while reloading software I updated to SP3 figuring it was the thing to do. Now it doesn't see any wireless networks. Wired is fine, but wireless it sees nothing. I've played with drivers but nothing makes a difference. Reading through lots of stuff here appears to point to SP3 being the problem but I haven't seen a real fix that I understand. I've read that removing SP3 could be a fix but I'd rather not do that if I don't have to. I'm hoping there's an easier fix that I just haven't found yet. Any help/pointers/insights greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time...
T42p type 2374 w/ Win XP SP3
Intel Pro/Wireless 2200BG using driver 9.0.4.39
Access Connection V5.85
(I read where someone rolled back their ethernet driver and that resolved the issue for them. I found this ethernet driver to be from 2003 (6.x.x.x). I updated the driver to 8.10.3.0 (2008) but of course it didn't do a thing).
Solved!

Hello,
I wonder if the operating system might be missing a component.
Have you run both Microsoft Windows Update to obtain all of the post-SP3 hot fixes, patches and updates (including the optional ones) and then Lenovo's ThinkVantage System Update software to update the ThinkPad-specific drivers and software for the ThinkPad T42p?

ICal has lost all events after upgrade to 10.8.3.

iCal has lost all events and calendars except for birthdays after upgrade to 10.8.3. If I sync to my iPhone, will it wipe them from the phone, or will it get the events from the phone?
I have Time Machine working, but am unsure how to restore calendars from it.
PLEASE HELP.

Not sure why you think having to re-authorize would indicate an incompatibility or problem with their software unless you meant you have to keep re-authorizing the plugin?
Some plugins need re-authorization when you change a certain file or files in your system.. or if the file structure itself changes.. or the drive is renamed for example.. It could simply be that IK used a different form of authorization routine to their other plugins or versions of their plugins, with Amplitude 2.... Nothing to do with an incompatibility...or problems.
Anyhow I am happy you got the matter resolved and yes, random bursts of white noise is a classic sign of a plugin running in demo mode and needing authorization or re-authorisation as I suspected in your case.

Lost my wireless after upgrading

After upgrading my Airport Extreme to 5.3.1, i have lost my wireless connections. I still have my wired connection through the router, I can't seem to re-establish my network through airport. I have even reset the airport by pushing the button. Restarted my cable internet connection x 2 and restarting my computer, recycling the Airport Extreme...nothing is working wirelessly. Maybe my Airport Extreme is broken?

Try deleting the following files from the ~/Library/Preferences/ directory (this is the Library directory within your User folder):
* com.apple.internetconfig.plist
* com.apple.internetconfigpriv.plist
* com.apple.internetconnect.plist
go to to Airport menu and re-selecting the desired network.
*perform a hard reset*
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107451
Also, merely unplug the Base Station and then plug it back in after 30 seconds or so. I've also experienced this same problem on a very infrequent basis and recycling the AEBS always permitted it to be recognized again by Apple's Airport Utility

Lost all applications after upgrading

Hi, I've just got a 3GS and was trying to sync with itunes to activate the phone
Here's what happened:
1. Did a back up with previous phone (3G) with iTunes.
2. Connect new 3GS with iTunes.
3. Sync/restore new 3GS
4. Update phone firmware to version 4.1
After doing the above and restarting, everything else is ok (restored correctly) except for all my applications. They are all gone now. Can anyone help me out here? any steps that i missed out and is there anything that i can do to restore all the applications?
Thanks

I have the same problem, except I realised I haven't lost all my applications but there's a blank page between original applications and bought applications, so it looked like they weren't there.
I can't work out a way of moving everything across to the left and getting rid of the blank page though.
Anyone with any ideas?

Lost all Ical-data upgrading to iCloud

Hello,
My wife and I chared a mobileme-account.
2 months ago I switched to Icloud, she continued using her Ical on het mac without synchronising it.
Today I installed lion on her mac. The computer automatically synchronised her Ical with the cloud and overwrote the local calendar. We lost al the new made appointments.
Can anybody help?
Tx,
Philippe

I have just had the same arroying experience. I had mobileme and iCal on laptop working fine. Could see calendars in both. Then got iPhone 3G and it synch'ed the calendars to it fine. Went and stupidly upgraded to 2.0.1 and low and behold come to use iCal on G4 laptop (leoprd 10.5.4) and have no calendars. Look on mobile me - no calandars....eeek. Look at iPhone - still there - sighs with relief - assumes can restore to iCal on mac - wrong. Doesn't work. Odd. So read a few posts on here and someone recommended going into settings and turning off calendar syching in mobileme account. BAD move. Gave me the option of turning off calendars when I did that - turning off mind...not removing...so I said OK (surely they would say if this was going to delete them)....then turned back on....silly me. Boom! the iPhone synched with mobileme and replaced the good calendars with no calendars. So I've managed to remove all cals from all places - quite an achievement. Thanks Apple.
Any ideas how I go about restoring the calendars?

Lost Mobile Network After upgrade to Win 10

Hi, any thoghts on an issue on 2nd gen X1 (3460-2SG) that after Win 10 upgrade lost Mobile Network but has WiFi OK?Looked for updated drivers but found none...Looked in "Mobile accsses" tool in previous profiles i had, and it states "device is not found" in front of the H5321 gw Mobile broadband driver Any help will be much appreciated

Hi ,
Thank you for visiting the HP Forums! A great place where you can find solutions for your issues with help from the community!
I came across your post about the Notebook, and wanted to assist you! I have looked into your issue about your HP ENVY TouchSmart 15-j001tx Notebook and the Touch display doesn't respond to touch after a Windows 10 update. If your computer is having problems finding and installing operating system updates, try using the Windows Update Troubleshooting tool to fix the problem. Here is a document that shows how to update drivers that are not working correctly with Windows 10. Here is a link to your driver page. I would try the section on Driver -Chipsets. Intel Management Engine Interface Driver should help. Restart the Notebook after the install. I hope something here helps you. Thanks.

Lost all emails after upgrade

I've just upgraded to Leopard 10.5.6 from an old version of Tiger. In the process I have managed to lose all my emails. I can neither send nor receive emails through Mac Mail, and when I click on the Mail icon in the dock, I can't even see the mailboxes. Any thoughts? I understand that this is a fairly common problem. Do I need to set up Mail again?

Ernie
Just tried this. No joy. See below for my notes on your answers
First let's see if the messages are still there, as I expect. YES Open a POP account folder -- do you find an INBOX.mbox folder, YES and if so, and open it, does it contain anything other than one Info.plist file (might not be there) and one Messages folder? Open the Messages folder -- does it contain a lot of xxxx.emlx files? YES If so, that means the message content is present, and should be retrievable.
If the various xxxx.mbox folders when observed indicate message content still present, then we can proceed.
When you upgraded to Leopard, was it immediately the version 10.5.6 -- that is, you never had Leopard running in an earlier version? THAT IS CORRECT
This is what I understood your first posts to report. If that is the case, make sure to Quit Mail, and then in the Finder drag all the file named to start with MessageRules to the desktop. Now relaunch Mail -- do any messages now display? If so, then you can restore those MessageRule . . . files after quitting Mail. I'VE DONE ALL THAT. ONE FILE IS MARKED MESSAGE RULES AND IT IS NOW ON DESKTOP
If no message yet display, again quit Mail, open the Mail folder in the Finder again, find the Envelope Index file and drag it to the Desktop (for later deleting probably). AGAIN NOW ON DESKTOP If you have any IMAP account, drag those account folders out of the Mail folder. NOT SURE WHAT AN IMAP ACCOUNT IS - SORRY Relaunch Mail, which should announce it is ready to import your email -- allow that to continue, and it should discover and reindex the message content from all the existing mailboxes.
Does that make any sense? Any other help would be appreciated.

I lost all contacts while upgrading to IOS6

It's unbelievable how they focus on design and forget the basics.

Lost all sound on upgrade to 7.0.3 from 6.5.2

Hi,
I am a total computer idiot and I need help. I've upgraded from QT 6.5.2 to 7.0.3; after I did that I lost (almost) all sound when playing QT movies. Files saved to my hard-drive that used to play with sound no longer do so. And QT files found online (through apple trailers, for example) no longer play with sound.
I say "almost" as there are a few files on my hard drive which still have sound. There's nothing special about these files which I can see though. One of them is an .mov, but all the rest of my .mov files don't have sound. The other is a .mpg, but all the rest of my .mpg files don't have sound.
After some reading about in this forum I found some genral comments about ones midi settings. Checked those against what are supposed to be the correct values, and they seem fine.
So anyone have any idea about what might be up? Seriously, suggest anything, even the most obvious stuff.
thanks

I have the same problem but with the QT 7.0.4...
Try to reinstall QT 6.5.2 (in 2 steps)
1) reinstall 7.0.1

In my case 7.0.1 doesn't work too... may be an additional coded ?? but i have no time to analyse.
2) reinstall 6.5.2

Lost all bookmarks after upgrading to FF4 and help page solutions no help

Upgraded to FF4. All was well for the first few days then all of a sudden my bookmarks were gone. I've been through all the topics on the help page and still cannot access any bookmarks or even add new bookmarks. Bookmarks is just totally disabled. Went back to IE but hate how slow it is. I just want to be able to create new bookmarks if I can't find my old ones.

See my solution at http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=11757732#11757732
It's pretty much guaranteed to work if it's at all possible to recover your contacts, although other simpler solutions may work too and some are discussed there.

Lost all contacts with upgrade to iOS 6.1

Has anyone else had this problem - upgraded earlier today to iOS 6.1 as prompted, and then later all my contacts disappeared.
Also followed prompts to set up iCloud syncing for the first time, but can't find contacts there either.
Any recommendations?
Thanks

For me, this is what worked:
I noticed the last contact I added was in the Address Book, but all others were gone or missing.
I went to MS Outlook and ran the Sync program. Unchecked all options. Restarted the computer. Made sure the iCloud stuff was turned off on the phone and restarted it too for good measure.
When the macbook came back up when into outlook then MS Sync and turned contacts back on. Then connected the iphone and told it to replace all contacts. It worked.
Good luck. There is no one solution that seems to work for everyone, but testing different settings will hopefully get you to the point where your contacts go back onto the phone.
Cheers

3GS lost all music in upgrade to ios5 via iTunes.

Last week iTunes suggested I upgrade my 3GS phone to iOS5, which I happily did and followed instructions carefully, and all the iPod content is gone now. "No Content!" is what I see on the phone and there's nothing on it as seen by iTunes either. I had done a complete backup before upgrading. Should I figure out how to restore that backup now, or what? (And, if so, how DO you restore a backup, since it sure isn't obvious and there's no "RESTORE" button to click.) Thanks.

iTunes does not back up your music when performing a backup before an upgrade or otherwise. It is your responsibility to make sure your music is backed up.
Unless you have a backup of your music somewhere else, it is gone. If you are in the US and a few other countries, you can get purchased music back by clicking on purchases on the right column in iTunes when at the home screen.
