Trouble connecting Weather Station to a 500-164

Hey all, I have a LA CROSSE weather station that I can't get to work on my new HP 500-164. I have downloaded the software (HEAVY WEATHER). It shows up on the computer but it doesn't work. In the set up I have options to connect to a Com Port No. Then a drop down box with COM1, COM2, COM3, or COM4. I have figured out that the ports on the front of the tower are #7 & #8. One on the back bottom is #9. Is there a #1,2,3, or 4? I have hooked this Station up to 2 other HP desktops with no issues. This one is not working for me though. I am not that computer literate but usually can get things done thru process of elimanation. Thanks in advance for any help!

Hi AshevilleDon. I did a search on their website for the " LA CROSSE weather station" and I couldn't find a specific model. What is that weather product's model number? What version of Windows do you have on your Desktop?

Weather Station Problem

I have a LaCrosse 2308AL weather station. I am trying to connect it to my intel-based iMac using a Keyspan USA-19HS serial-USB adapter Whether I plug the USB adapter into a powered bus or directly into the iMac, I have trouble. The software recognizes the adapter and the adapter blinks like it is supposed to. But the data will not flow from the station to the software running on the iMac (Leopard) I have done this before on the same computer with the same adapter but under Tiger. Is this a Leopard problem - and if so how do I fix it?

I emailed LaCrosse tonight. Asked them what I should do. When (if) I get a reply, I will post it. My 2308 is not totally wireless. Wires run from the wind direction/speed detector and from the rain bucket to a "hub". The hub can be wired or wireless. I run it wired because updates are faster. As usual, finding software to run on an iMac is limited. Thanks for your help. I hope to reciprocate.

MacBook trouble connecting to Wireless Network

I just purchased my MacBook and I am having trouble connecting to my wireless internet. My computer finds my router but when it prompts me for a password I put in the number at the bottom of my router and it says that "it cannot connect to the wireless internet". What can I change or do?

2Wire routers are VERY problematic with Macs.
A few people have gotten them to work.Many more,though,have not.
If you do a search for "2Wire Routers",you may find a workaround that suits you.
Personally,I would just pick up an "Airport Extreme" and be done with it.

Trouble connecting Windows 2000 PC to Airport Extreme

I'm having trouble connecting a PC running Windows 2000 to my Airport Extreme Base Station. The PC is using a D-Link wireless USB 2.0 adapter (802.11g) to connect to the internet. The PC would connect without problem when I was using a D-Link wireless router but will not connect with the new Apple base station.
In addition to the Windows 2000 PC I have a Windows XP PC (connected via ethernet), an iBook G4 and an Epson printer connected to the Airport Extreme and they all work without a problem.
Can anyone tell me how to solve my problem with the Windows 2000 machine?
Thanks.

I am having the same issue; since you did not seem to receive any replies on this forum, am wondering if you resolved the problem; am also wondering if my issue is the distance from my Airport Extreme base to the Windows PC. My next step is going to be to try moving the Apple router closer to the Windows PC and see if that Linksys wireless picks up the signal.

Trouble connecting multiple computers wirelessly

I have an airport extreme base station and I am having trouble connecting more than one computer wirelessly to the internet. In fact if I do get the other computer connected, it crashes the connection of my main computer that is always connected. Any help? Am I explaining this clearly enough?

Can you tell us what happens if you turn wireless off on the computers and temporarily connect both of them to the AirPort Extreme using ethernet? Same problem?

HP pavilion 500-164 graphics card

Retina Macbook Pro Having Trouble Connecting To Wifi?

Hi, I have a TP Link router with a 2013 2 TB time capusle connected to it.
And My macbook pro seems to be having trouble connecting to the TP Link's network, My 5GHz network on my time capusle, and my normal 2.4GHz network on my time capusle.
When I try connecting to a network it says connecting for about 30 seconds and then comes up with a exclamation mark "!" symbol.
It will randomly start connecting and working, then maybe 10,15 minutes later it drops out for a few hours again. Im not sure what's going on.
P.S Averything else will connect (Macbook air, iPhone 5s, My iMac, My iPad mini ect.
Please Help!
James.

When you see an exclamation point in the Wi-Fi menu, from the menu bar, select
 ▹ System Preferences... ▹ Network
Click the Assist me button and select Assistant. Follow the prompts. You may get a warning that Wi-Fi is not available, that you're too far from the base station, or that you're using the wrong password.
Assuming that you've ruled out those possibilities, restart the computer and try again. If there's no change, click the lock icon in the lower left corner of the preference pane and authenticate, if necessary. From the Location menu at the top of the window, select Edit Locations. A sheet will drop down. Click the plus-sign button to create a new location. Give it any name you want. In the new location, set up the Wi-Fi service with the same settings you used before. Click Apply and test.

I have an IPAD 2 that I use to view an IP camera over a Wifi network. The Ipad is in a vehicle that leaves the Wifi range and then returns to the range. Upon returning to the range, the Ipad has trouble connecting to the network. (30 seconds)

I have an Ipad 2 that I use to view an IP camera over a Wifi network. The Ipad is in a vehicle that leaves the Wifi range and then returns to the range. Upon returning to the range, the Ipad has trouble connecting to the network. (30 seconds) The Ipad will eventually connect to the network, but by this time the driver is frustrated. I have moved the antenna to within 20' of where the vehicle comes to a stop. My Iphone does not have a problem connecting or reconnecting when used side by side with the Ipad. Both the Ipad and Iphone have Otter box covers. Has anyone run into this problem or have any suggestions?

30 seconds to reconnect to a WiFi network is not unusual, especially in an environment where other radio signals on similar frequencies are present. Sorry about that.
You might get better times by letting the WiFi base station pick another channel. But you might not.

Imac G3 weather station

I tried to do tech support for my son, who purchased an Oregon Scientific WMR968 Cable Free Complete Weather Station. After surfing the web for the ins and outs, we have the complete setup and have a web page with my notes on what is needed. http://homepage.mac.com/keego/MacWeatherStation.htm
With the difficulty that I experienced, I am asking what is the best way to share the info with other user group member and mac users in general.

I find that a very interesting use for an old iMac. I happen to have a couple of old iMacs that could do that job.
I have a couple of questions...
(a) Since the weather station you are using has a full display, what benefits do you get from connecting it to your iMac? It would seem a weather station with no display might be cheaper.
(b) It seems that the Weathertracker web site has really no information describing the features of the software other than one screen shot showing the data displayed in gauges. What features of the software do you find useful?

Davis Instruments Vangage Pro Weather Station and LabVIEW

I am developing a VI for communication with the Davis Instruments
Vantage Pro Weather Station in LabVIEW. I need to be able to take the
current weather conditions off of the weather station and display them
in a VI. The Weather Station will be connected via RS232 to a Compact
Fieldpoint. Currently I am planning on sending the request command
over the serial (through VISA?), which would return a signal containing
all of the the needed data (which could be parsed within LabVIEW).
Does anyone know either how to do this or a better way to communicate
with the Weather Station?
Thank you,
Joshua

Joshua:
Nice find on the Davis site, I haven't been there in years....
Looks like you have a couple options.
1. They have documented the serial command set and data format. You can look in LabVIEW help and search examples for serial communication (like Basic SerialReadandWrite). Set up the COM port accordingly and send a simple command and read the response as a test. To create a driver, at least in LabVIEW 8.2, under Tools/Instrumentation/CreateInstrumentDriverProject- use a GeneralPurpose (Message Based) for a source driver. I never have used it, but it may get you quicly started on the path. You can also probably use Windows Hyperterminal first as a sanity check before trying LabVIEW.
2. They also have a nice dll library that appears to be well documented. Within LabVIEW, you can make calls to the dll and get data back. As long as it was written in C osr stdcall, you can use the CallLibraryFunctionNode function. There is a section in the LabView Help- Calling Code Written in Text Based Languages that describes how to do this.
Hope this helps
-AK2DM
Edit: I just saw you are using Compact Fieldpoint- Not sure what that is and how it may affect use of the options above.

HP Pavillion 500-164 playing through my television

My HP Pavillion 500-164 doesn't have a HDMI jack on the back of the desktop. But it has a VGA jack. I've plugged in a VGA cable to my desktop and to my television. But only get the computer desktop screen on my television. Nothing else. I own a HDMI cable. Should I get a VGA to HDMI converter?
This question was solved.

As you computer has the following connections;
3 - VGA 4 - DVI-D 12 - Audio: Line Out port (lime)
I would suggest using an HDMI-to-DVI cable and a 1/8" mini-stereo cable to connect your computer to the HDTV. Alternatively, you can use a VGA cable but theoretically the image will be of poorer quality.
Please see these examples from Amazon.com (RadioShack.com wouldn't work);

HP 500-164 drops WIFI and has low reception.

HP 500-164 on intermitent basis drops WIFI and has low receptions preventing connection. Is this a problem for others? What is solution?

Hello Randy3,
Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the HP Forums I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
I understand you are experiencing intermittent connection issues with your wireless on your HP Pavilion 500-164. I am assuming that you are running Windows 8 as that is what the system came with so my suggestions will be based on that operating system. I am providing you with an HP Support document: Troubleshooting Wireless Network and Internet (Windows 8), which was designed to assist in troubleshooting several common issues with Windows 8 and wireless. I am recommending that you review the document and follow the troubleshooting steps to assist in resolving your wireless issue.
I am assuming you have already tried several of the steps and or have additional devices that can rule out some of the steps right off, so follow the steps that you have not tried and lets see if we can get this issue resolved for you.
Please re-post if you require additional support. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!
Please click the "Thumbs Up" on the bottom right of this post to say thank you if you appreciate the support I provide!

Trouble connecting to wireless network at work

I am having trouble connecting to a wireless network at work. Previously I have been able to connect to it, but today it says I'm connected but won't load any web pages.
In System Preferences under Network Status it says: "AirPort is connected to the network lynksys. AirPort has a self-assigned IP address and may not be able to connect to the Internet."
Any ideas? Thanks!

beckymagic, Welcome to the discussion area!
Many times this message is received when MAC address filtering has been enabled on the wireless base station. [This is also referred to as an "access list".] I suggest that you talk with the system admin and see if you need to add the MAC address of the AirPort card of your Mac to this list.

TROUBLE CONNECTING TO ICLOUD WITH WINDOWS XP

Like others I have had trouble connecting to icloud from my work (windows XP PRO) computer using Internet Explorer 8.
I have found that adding Safari for windows to my work computer and using it to access icloud works.

I think I didn't explain it clearly enough.
I have the cable modem connected to the WAN port of the Linksys router (not wireless).
The computer is connected to a LAN port of the router.
The Airport Extreme Base Station (not the new one, one of the older round ones) is connected to another LAN port of the router.
On Mac OS, I can use DHCP to connect.
On the Windows OS (XP through Bootcamp), DHCP doesn't connect me. I can only connect if I change its network connection settings to manual (fixed IP).
I really only have 2 questions:
1. Why can't I use DHCP in Windows?
and
2. Is there any problem with using the fixed IP? (Is it allowed if your ISP didn't give you one? Or is it that the ISP doesn't see it as a fixed IP, if the modem goes through the router first?)
I may be asking questions that don't matter, but I'm just curious to know whether I'm setting this up right.
