The next WiFi

As the next WiFi is going to be under 802.11 n, is the Macbook Pro going to be able to connect to servers of 802.11 n? The user's manual says MBP will connect to 802.11 a/b/g...but "n" will be here in the next year or so. My question is, will there be an upgrade option on MBP so we can connect to this new WiFi?

802.11n isn't final yet. However there are a number of products that use at least some of the technology. 11g products will almost certainly work with an 11n access point. However at least with current products, it appears that having a mix of 11g and pre-11n clients causes performance problems. pre-11n can also interfere with neighboring 11g networks. Some of this may be fixed by release.
Actually I'm currently using a pre-11n wireless router, the Netgear Rangemax 240. However I'm using it only with conventional 11g clients. The advantage of using this router is that the pre-11n antenna technology (MIMO) does a lot better job of providing consistent reception. With an Airport Extreme base station, throughput changes when I change the position of the laptop on my lap, and at times there are connectivity problems. The connection with the Rangemax is a lot more consistent. The problem seems to be primarily with the receive side on the access point. The Macbook Pro generally saw the signal from the AP fine.
There are several different post-11g technologies. You want MIMO. Some of the others do worse than a normal 11g access point when talking to a plan 11g client.

    my iphone will no longer connect to my home wifi. it recognises it, but the searching cirlce is constant next to network name. there are three laptops and another iphone on the same wifi that have no connectivity issues. i have reset the network settings but that did not help. the issue started last week when the second iphone was introduced to the house, could this be the cause?

    No.
    Any problem connecting your iPhone to any other wi-fi network besides your own?

  • TS1398 In "Set Up" I try to select our secured WIFi router from the list of available networks.  However, it will not allow me to select it. This then prevents me from going to the next step. What do I do?

    In "Set Up" I have tried to select our secured WiFi router from the available list shown.  It is listed.  However, when I try to select it, it will not check off or remain blue when I lift my touch.  This then will not allow me to go on to the next step.  What do I do to connect to a secure WiFi router? I do know the WEP Key number but there is no place to type then in.

    The trial can only be loaded 1 time as far as I know. You could try http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html, remove any left over parts of the Acrobat folder, and reboot. Then try an install again, but my guess is you will have to purchase Acrobat at this point.

  • HT3819 Home Share issue: I have a Mac and Apple TV. Both are log into the same Wifi network and the same iTunes account (I can view purchased movies on AppleTV). Home Sharing shows 'ON' for both devices. BUT...AppleTV shows no computers. Itunes sidebar-no

    Has anyone else found solution to Apple devices not 'seeing' each other on Home Share?  I have a Macbook Air (new Nov'12) and Apple TV (new Dec'12). Software updated on both. Both are logged into the same Wifi network and the same iTunes account (I can view movies purchased from iTunes on my AppleTV). Home Sharing shows 'ON' for both devices. BUT...AppleTV shows no computers... and ... Itunes sidebar does not have a 'Shared' area at all.  Help please as without this functionality, my Apple TV only provides portal to purchased (i.e. Netflix,...) content which I can get from Wii or Xbox.
    I have already tried the following without success:
    1. Homeshare DID work the first day after I setup Apple TV... but the next day it has not worked since then.
    2. Powered off 30 sec then re-started (Apple TV & Macbook & iTunes login)
    3. Checked Firewall settings per Home Sharing troubleshooting guide (correct settings)
    4. Turning on Photostream in iPhoto and selecting iPhoto within iTunes and then checking to see if Photostream shows anything on AppleTV (it shows 'on' for my iTunes account but 'Zero' pictures found ... despite the >3,000 pictures showing avail in iTunes).
    I also have 'Remote" app on my iPhone 4, with Home Sharing turned on (same Wifi network)... it has a very similar message as the Apple TV and same result that despite all devices having HomeShare 'on' they cannot see each other:  "Remote will automatically find the iTunes libraries and Apple TVs that have Home Sharing turned on using the account xxxx (it lists my correct itunes account name)."

    I solved this by reset of the Wifi (unplug cable and power to both modem and wifi ... wait 60 sec ... plug in modem cable and power ... plug in wifi power and LAN to modem ... restart AppleTV and Mac ... Turn Home Share 'OFF' in iTunes then back "ON" ... it took ~60 sec for the AppleTV to pick up my Mac in computers.

  • I have just got an iPad2. I hook it up to iTunes to sync but everything I buy on it is now autmatically going onto my iphone 4S the next time I sync that??? I do not want this! How do I stop it?

    I have 4 devices on my iTunes account which all have different names or ID's. An iPad 2 which I just got at Xmas, my iPhone 4S, my wifes iPhone 4 and my daughters iPod. I always hook up to iTunes via a cable/dock when syncing them all separetly. Since buying the iPad 2 every app that I have downloaded on it seems to be going over onto my iPhone 4S when I next sync it after I have synced the iPad 2 to iTunes??? I do not want anything that is on the iPad 2 automatically going onto my phone the next time I sync. How do I stop this happening?
    Can anyone help???
    Thanks in advance!

    On the iPhone, go into Settings -> Store and turn off "Automatic Downloads" for Apps (and Music and Books, if you wish). You can also do that on the iPad to prevent it from going in the opposite direction.
    That will stop any automatic downloading... to prevent them from coming over when using iTunes, select the phone (under Devices), Apps, and then uncheck "Automatically sync new apps." Again, do the same for the iPad if you wish.

  • What I'd like to see in the next update...

    Long time PC user. Bought a Mac last Xmas to make use of some great easy-to-use programs that aren't available through PC so me and my wife can use (ie GarageBand)
    We were looking to make our website and found out ilife '06 had iweb. Read about all the great things and WYSIWYG format. Rushed out and purchased one. Started playing around only to realize its real limitations in modifications to templates and such.
    What I've been trying to do is simply expand my page a little so that I don't get a solid fill color on either side once I publish my page. I'm able to stretch the background, but the header remains. I've read the posts where others have edited the actual templates file, but I'm hesitant. Sounds like it'll take some time and I'm not entirely comfortable in doing that.
    My biggest question is why iWeb doesn't allow customization of the templates. I'm not talking about a full overhaul, just some modifications on size and shape, etc. So my main point is that I would like some more flexibility to customize the existing (and any upcoming) templates. Perhaps the next update (or some update down the road) will incorporate that? From what I've read, it would be useful for many other users as well.
    Mac Mini 1.5   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    Welcome to the discussions, Kungpow.
    My answer to why it doesn't allow customization to templates is probably related to why Vista still isn't shipping. It was probably a hard decision to make to lock down the templates so much, but given a schedule that had to be met in order to ship in time for MacWorld, it had to be cut. It's not that it CAN'T be done (as other users have shown) but probably more that the easy to use and understand GUI for it wasn't going to be completed in time.
    Maybe the GUI belongs in the inspector, maybe it belongs floating over the document window like the Adjust and Star editing tools, maybe it should be under Text, but what if you want to use a Graphic instead? Then putting it under Text wouldn't make sense. Oh, what if a user wants to use a shape for a menu button? Instead of being locked to the top, or side how about allowing a rollover button to be anywhere on a page? Would these elsewhere-on-the-page buttons be created the same as the menu ones so that the menu now becomes a specialized version of an "elsewhere" button?
    And those are just questions I can think of off the top of my head that could affect how to implement the feature!

  • [TroubleShooting]Continuity Wi-Fi issue. iPhone and mac not on the same wifi network

    Ive been following this and other forums since Yosemite came out few weeks back & i can see many other people are having this issue as well.
    The issue is that I'm not able to make/receive calls on my MBP using my iPhone via continuity.
    Ive tried all of the possible solutions made here and elsewhere on how to resolve this issue. [playing about with settings and iCloud]
    When I'm at home all of the handoff and continuity features work apart from making and receiving calls. Tells me my mac and iPhone are not on the same wifi network, even though they are.
    Now, the solution?
    Now this is where tourbleshooting comes in. Ive taken my mac and to my homegirls house & all of the features worked including phonecalls, without changing anything, except?? THE ISP and the router at her house.
    Personally i live in London, Uk. At home i have sky, and my girl has TalkTalk.
    So im 99.9% sure this has nothing to do with the OS X, but rather its the ISP or the router.
    Now I'm asking for help from anyone that understands the ISP's and routers, on what kind of issue there might be. Im no computer wiz kid, but I'm guessing it could be something that has to do with the NAT type. (Call of duty on ps3 haha) At my house its moderate and my homegirls - open? could that be the issue? if so are there any router settings i can play about to see if that solves the issue?
    Thanks.
    Please only post if you know what you're talking about because i don't want anyone giving me some next instructions for my router so i end up without internet what so ever haha And whoever is having the same problem, id appreciate if you'd post on this to keep the post alive

  • HT4059 The last three books I have downloaded at the bottom of the page the bottom parts of y,g,and j are appearing at the top of the next page. Any help or suggestions  will be appreciated.

    This problem just started. On the last line of each page if the letters y,g,p or j appear in the line the bottom part of each of these letters appears at the top of the next page while being chopped off the actual line it should appear in.

    *Update*
    I thought I had found the offending 'app' namely "Songpop."
    I regularly use "Songpop" on my phone late at night via my wifi connection.
    All enteries on my phonebill are at midnight (even though I have a data allowance it was excluded from allowance). I switched 3G off on Friday, played "Songpop" at midnight and at the exact time I got a "Server Error" message.
    I posted a message on the "Songpop" support forum.At first they said this was a problem relating to my ISP.
    I have spoken to my ISP and asked if there are connection drops at the time I have been billed (ie to establish if my wifi dropped and 3G kicked in without my knowledge) and have been advised that there aren't any connection drops at that time.
    "Songpop" have now responded that "This is an issue to take up with Apple Support"  see: http://support.songpop.fm/songpop/topics/playing_songpop_on_phone_via_wifi_but_i ncurring_download_data_charges_for_3g_useage?utm_content=topic_link&utm_medium=e mail&utm_source=reply_notification

  • When is the next firmware released after v21.0.016...

    When is the next FW upgrade after V21.0.016 which hav known bugs reported . I hope nokia to rectify it in next FW near soon.....My N95-1 getting slower & slower in response...when boot up it takes 15 minutes, some phone pre-installed function like Nokia Search, Dictionary, WLAN (wifi) already hided inside the phone (cannot see their icons), when receiving calls , i cannot see the loudspeaker function to be on...Video centre cannot be added anymore new services...& many more ...i only used up 3GB data for my Sandisk 4GB card...my phone still hav 58MB space left...i cannot imagine what will happen if more problems coming...

    Your problem is elsewhere, not with the firmware.
    How many themes and third-party applications have you installed? Did you install them into the phone's memory or the memory card? If your phone takes 15 minutes to start up there's a serious overload somewhere.
    Regardless of that, nobody knows when new firmware is due out. It just appears. The thing to do is to check on http://europe.nokia.com/A4577225 periodically.

    How to turn your computer into a Virtual (Personal)Router.
    Our hotel the Grand Oasis Cancun provided internet for only 36 hours and you could only use it on one device which comes to my next option as using your Laptop as a Personal Router to broadcast WiFi to any devices near your computer. Our room was on the Second level of the Pyramid at Grand Oasis and I was able to access it while at the VIP lounge below our room. Before our supposedly free internet service ended.
    I attempted using the hotel next door since I was getting a good signal from the Omni Hotel. They offered complimentary 24hr internet access using your browser as a way to track your use. Once you find the signal of the Omni it will open your browser I used Google Chrome, after it opens you go threw a few simple steps and your ready.
    I learned that after the 24 hours are up all you have to do is disconnect from their network, just run Ccleaner(free program) then find the Signal of the hotel and you will be given another 24 hours. What Ccleaner(<--download there) does is clears anything attached to your browser ie cookies temp files etc. it cleans your browser history giving you a way of not paying for the hotel fee of internet and giving you free WiFi. this is only if you are next to the Omni hotel :).
    What you need to download to turn your computer into a hotspot need to say is this little easy to use program Virtual Router. Once it has download test at your home to make sure it works with you devices. This will work with Tablets, Phones and other computers that cant find the Omni WiFi signal. Your welcome. To use it, is simple. Open program>make a password>select WiFi and start VR.

  • TS5223 after updating ipad the next I cant access anything because is asking me for a password it is not taking what I had help please ?

    after updating ipad , the next day it is locked and doesnt take my password,help please

    Same problem for me.
    1. Cannot connect to wifi as icloud password pop up keeps appearing.
    2. tried deleting account. UNable to do so.
    3. tried resetting password by logging into apple id through desktop as mentioned in one of the responses in another thread. Unfortunately the apple id to be reset is the same as being prompted by icloud and hence unable to reset the same.
    Feel like breaking the **** ipad into bits. Stupid of apple to let such a bug in and not offer support !!

  • Sneak peek: the next version of DW

    Alejandro Guttierez shows off one of the main new features in the next version of Dreamweaver.
    http://blogs.adobe.com/dreamweaver/2013/04/nextgendreamweaver.html
    By the way, if you plan to attend Adobe MAX, I am presenting a 90-minute hands-on lab diving into the detail of how to use the new CSS Designer panel. The lab will be presented twice at 2.45pm on Monday, 6 May, and at 11am on Wednesday, 8 May.
    The blog post also confirms what I have suspected for a long time: server behaviors will be removed from the next version. They'll still be available as an extension, so existing users aren't left in the lurch. But the message is clear: start thinking of alternatives.

    Just removing the server behaviours without replacing them with something more up-to-date its NOT very forward thinking of Adobe. The server behaviours IS or WAS a massive reason to use Dreamweaver.
    I have no idea whether Adobe plans to replace server behaviors with something more up to date. What I do know is that the forum dedicated to developing server-side applications in Dreamweaver has become less and less active in the past year or so. Maybe that's because people who don't want to write their own code rely on the more sophisticated offerings of extension developers, such as WebAssist and DMX Zone, who have their own forums. However, if I used those extensions my main concern would be that, as far as I know, they're dependent on the deprecated mysql functions.
    Working with a database doesn't necessarily involve writing a lot of code. There are several powerful PHP frameworks, all of them free, that do all the hard lifting for you. When I wrote Adobe Dreamweaver CS5 with PHP: Training from the Source, only one chapter was devoted to using server behaviors. The book was published by Adobe Press, and with Adobe's full knowledge and approval, it concentrated on using Zend Framework 1. It also showed how to use WordPress in Dreamweaver. I think the rise of WordPress played a similar role in the fate of server behaviors as jQuery played in the decision to cease investing in Spry.
    If WordPress is too much like a sledgehammer, an alternative is Perch. It's not free, and it requires a separate licence for each website, but it has an excellent reputation. It's developed and maintained by Drew McLellan and his wife, Rachel Andrew, two very talented web developers (they're Brits, too). I don't have any affiliation with them. I've just heard lots of good things about them and Perch.
    Sure David I hear what you're saying BUT Wordpress is too clumsy for the client to use simply. It's far too easy to add a myriad of extentions which could break the website design. Every time Wordpress is released you need to upgrade with it. It has security risks as far as I know. It's certainly not soemthing that I would touch after having given it a run out, several times. The whole package is really messy in my view and you're less in control of the process. Coding is King.
    Yes, Perch is much better and simpler but is still quite restrictive, I've used that too. I've just finished a website which as far as I'm concerned required a bespoke CMS. Not only that if you write the code, or most of it, you have full control and knowledge in the event of something which stops working......at least I have a chance of sorting out the problem them. Totally relying on 3rd party products or extentions you have zero chance UNLESS you're some kind of code wizard which you arent going to be if youre using Wordpress or Perch.
    I think the reason why there is less and less activity in the forum you mentioned is that many have moved away from using the DW server behaviours (php is the most popular server language by far) BUT Adobe have sat on their backside and missed the boat prefering to concentrate on rather lame updates.
    I'm sure your right about WebAssist and DMX Zone whose extention MUST be compatibale with the Dreamweaver ones. I guess its over to them to come up with something that replaces the ones in Adobe as they themselves are highly unlikley to do it themselves.
    For me its a question of I have now got to go and learn some of the new sqli which on the outset seems a lot more streamlined than the functional crap DW was writting anyway.

  • I am aware that many people, like me, have lost the ability to mirror their iPad, iPhone or computer with Apple TV.  Has anyone yet found a solution?  One day it worked, the next day the option to switch between the device and Apple TV had disappeared.

    Has anyone managed to resolve the problems encountered with Apple TV and the loss of ability to mirror iphones, ipads or computers?  One day it was working perfectly, from all the above devices, the next the option to switch between playing on the device or mirroring to apple tv had disappeared.  I have tried all the obvious such as updating iTunes, turning all devices off and then back on, but nothing is working.  Help please!

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Your problem is most certainly network related, you might try restarting your devices including your router as a temporary solution, but in the long term would be better correcting the problems with your network.
    Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
    You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
    Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel.
    There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first.
