Trouble with my wireless and cable internet connections with S05

I got a Lenovo S205 last month and have been having trouble connecting it to the internet.
I connect wirelessly to my internet box and sit about 1m away from it. Even though I am so close and my connection shows full strengh on my computer when I am browsing the internet pages often fail to load or miss images or css. I can sit and hit refresh for a mintue before the page loads but my wireless icon never says it has lost connection or signs me out of msn etc.
I tried a different brower to check it was not that but it is still the same. I also find when speaking on skype that my video feed will stop and start again and the sound doesn't come through smoothly.
Because of the trouble and how close I am to the internet box I tried with a cabel but when I plug it in and turn off wireless the computer doesnt seem pick it up and says I have no connection. I tried the same cabel in my old laptop and it worked fine so it seems something wrong with my port.
What can I do to fix it? Thanks
Stephanie

hey steffi,
try uninstalling both the wired and wireless drivers for your unit.
let windows install its own generic drivers and try again on both wired and wireless connection at your home.
if possible, try it at a different location and see if it makes any difference. If you are able to connect and have no problems browsing the web on a different wireless/wired connection, then you will need to check the settings of your home's modem

Problem with Airport/Ethernet and Sharing Internet connection

I'm receiving my internet service through a wirless router. I am connected to it through Airport on my Mini. I am also connected to a dt G4 through a wired router (the G4 doesn't have airport). I want to share my connection from airport to the G4 on built in ethernet. On the mini I have internet sharing enabled (from airport to ethernet). I still cannot connect on the G4. Any ideas (should I disable dhcp on the router - tried that and it didn't work)?
10.4.8 on the Mini and 10.3.9 on the G4

Hi Jacob. Interesting setup.
1) If all the computers connect properly to the router, whether wired or wireless, why are you trying the internet sharing?
2) You mention a "dt g4" and an "MDD g4". I'm not a mac guy....are these different computers?
And.
Your mini's on wireless router. OK.
Your "dt g4" is on wired router...Same router?
If it's the same router, your network is something like this:
Internet
|
Router
| | |
#1 #2 3?
is that close?
If so, then you really don't need internet sharing.
Everone's "on", and if sharing is properly setup, all machines should "see" each other.

I'm not sure how to post a message. I hope this might interest someone. The situation; 3 floors,I am having trouble with an an Airport Extreme, 802.11n on the top floor and a Mac Pro 3.1 on the bottom floor. Not always but often it has trouble seeing the Airport and making a connection. I have an older Airport Express, would it help to install it? would it work best if it was installed in the same room? should it be installed half way in between? Get another Extreme? The Mac Book Pro on the middle floor can see 11 networks in the neighbourhood if that might be causing a problem or would if I installed the Express. Thank for your consideration.

Thanks for your time ... I appologize for the font and colour, I compossed the question in pages and failed to notice the font colour as grey ... there are a variety of computers of various ages so I think it is using a setting that allows both 5G and 2.4 ... the connection to the Airport is thru a cable modem and cable does run throuhout the house ... maybe those hard wires would be a place to look at ... do you think that putting the 'Express' on the second floor might help ... thanks again ...

Up and Down Internet Connection

Recently my MacBook is having up and down internet connection. I'm using the new Aiport Extreme base station which is connected to my cable modem. By up and down I mean, the connection seems to go in and out.
My Airport signal status is full bars, so it seems to see the base station. It is like the radio signal or whatever gets tangled and drops connection. I have completely reset the base station and started fresh. I've unplugged the modem and base station and gone through all the basic troubleshooting steps.
My wife has a PowerBook G4 and she can surf with no hiccups, while my machine stalls. One thing I have done to keep a solid connection is to connect iTunes to an internet radio station. It seems like the stream keeps the connection without dropping?
Any ideas on what is going on? Is my internal airport card bad or are is there something else going wrong? Any help or insight is appreciated.
Thanks.

Try…
1) Resetting PRAM…
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=2238
2) Setting your Airport to connect to "Preferred networks" rather than Automatic (done in System Preferences > Network > Airport > Airport)
3) Make sure your home network is at the top of your Preferred networks list
4) Failing those delete your wireless network profile, apply the change and readd your profile

Airport network and sharing Internet connection

Hello all,
I have hit this problem with sharing an internet connection on an airport network. Maybe its a simple fix, maybe it a "can not be done", answer.
My set up may be a little hard to describe. To explain, completely wireless set up in my network, 1 x imac and 1 x powerbook, all on airport and using an airport express. This includes my new printer. All connected through airport express network, call it network A.
Up till now i had a modem with an ether net cable plugged into the airport express. All was fine.
I am in jakarta, the cable internet providers here are hopeless, slow connection speed.
Last month a new wireless internet service was released. Called 3.5 G. Its lightning fast and reliable. Basically you get a wireless USB modem attach it to your computer and you are always connected to the internet wirelessly. You can travel anywhere with it. The 3.5G is primarily for mobile phones but i use it just for internet. This modem is connected to my powerbook and works great.
Now, the useless cable internet connected to my airport express is still connected for my Imac to use.
My problem is that i would like to share my high speed internet connection from my laptop to my imac. Problem is that when i allow sharing from my laptop, the intenet works fine on both machines but on the powerbook, which is doing the sharing you get an arrow symbol through the airport icon at the top.
The laptop can NOT access the local airport express network A. Hence i cannot use the printer or see the imac. That is my problem, i cannot print from the powerbook unless i stop sharing. When you share an internet connection the sharing computer seems to create another computer to computer network and does not join the existing arirport network.
This is probably a little confusing. Hopefully, someone may have some ideas. My alternative is to buy a new fixed position modem/router for the 3.5G system. Its about $600. Ouch.
Any ideas
thanks for the interest.
joe

Selamat Phil Smith,
Actually do we know each other, cause i know a phil smith.
Actually an ether net cable is OK for the short term. But if i get another computer it may get complex. Spent a lot removing cables too.... Looks like i will have to buy the special modem router... Painful $600.
This share internet thing over airport looks like a great idea till you realise it disables access to the ariport network for the computer doing the sharing.
Cheers and thanks for the idea

Wireless high speed internet connection

I would like to know if somewhere we can find a kind of PCS card for wireless high speed internet connection, but for power books and iBooks G4?
I'm living in mexico City and one company (iusacell) is offering the service but just with PCS cards for PCs, but no for macs.

Unfortunately, the 12" PowerBooks and both size iBooks lack the required PCMCIA slot for such cards, so they cannot be used at all.
The 15" and 17" PowerBooks do have a PCMCIA slot, but if your network doesn't supply Mac software or drivers, it probably can't be used.

Just purchased Airport Extreme ac and lost internet connection 3X. Reset to factory settings and worked for 2 days then lost connection and remedied by unplugging power supply. Anyone else having problems?

Just purchased Airport Extreme ac and lost internet connection 3X in less than one week. Fisrt time, reset to factory settings and fixed problem. Has occurred 2 additional times and connection re-established by unplugging AP extreme. Anyone else having these problems? Do I have a bad router? Thanks.

I definitely think this is a Mavericks issue. My iMac running Mavericks is the ONLY system in the house that drops the network randomly while all other systems never lose the network. No idea how to resolve this, but here is the workaround I'm posting:
I've had the 'network drop' issue with my Airport Extreme for the last 2 months. It reconnects when I pull the ethernet cable and plug it back in. I've tried downgrading the AE firmware, resetting to factory, etc. Nothing worked. I finally threw in the towel and created a script that monitors my network connectivity and restarts my interface if it senses it has dropped:
#!/bin/ksh
while true
do
yup=`ping -c1 -t2 www.google.com|grep from`
if [[ -n $yup ]]
     then echo "Internet is connected!"
else
        ifconfig en0 down; ifconfig en0 up
        echo "Down at `date +%m%d%Y%H%M%S`">>./dropped.out
fi
sleep 5
clear
done
I know its a workaround, but its saving me the headache of constantly pulling my cable and putting it back in!
Good luck!

My computer is running sluggish and the internet connection runs very slow. what can I do?

My mac air is running slugiish and my internet connection takes forever to change windows...what can I do?

If the computer is brand new, it may be reviewing (indexing) all you files for search. This will take a few hours to complete. Otherwise you likely have a program that is running poorly and slowing your system down.
Open the Fibder
Click the Go menu at the top of the screen
Click on utilities menu item under go
Open the Activity Monitor
When Activity monitor opens, there will be a lot of data in the window, to make better sense of it click on the column labeled CPU. This will sort entries by how much of your computer's CPU they use. The lower the number the better.
Locate any programs using 80% or more of your CPU. They are the likely culprits of your speed issue.
If the speed issue is only related to surfing the internet, then you more than likely have an issue with WiFi instead. Try moving closer to your wireless router to see if it speeds up.

Is there a way that I can control iTunes with the iPhone without any internet connections?

First let me say that I am ready to throw this POS in the lake. Is there a way that I can control iTunes with my iPhone without any internet connections? On my houseboat I have a wifi router and want to connect my phone to my computer to control my music which plays from my computer through my stereo. I can easily do it with my laptop without having to jump through any internet APPLE BS , but I dont want to have my laptop out on the deck. I just want to use the phone as a remote control.
Remote wont do it because it keeps saying Im not connected to the internet, even though is is connected to my computer. Same problem with JumiAmp.

It should have an option to manage iTunes library without network connection, like Bluetooth or connect directly to the computer without a router or wi-fi, i live outsite of the city and i dont have the ability to control my iTunes librry from the iphone

Can the MacBook Air work with any other type of internet connection beside wifi?

Can the MacBook Air work with any other kind of internet connection besides Wifi?

Who? ITS VERY important when doing a restore, in fact you DO NOT want to do a wifi restore
The pros all have that Ethernet adapter,... that should tell you something. An Ethernet restore via that "thing" makes restoring the OSX about 8X faster.
Its called a Gigabit Ethernet adapter for a reason.
"who the heck" is anyone working with their Macbook Air at home and want a MUCH FASTER download / internet connection.
*Stockbrokers who pack their Macbook Air, arrive at work and plug that "hardwired" dongle to their Air........ because even seconds in the stock market can make the difference between losing a million $$, or making a million $$
So now you know WHY,.....before you didnt.

I cant connect to my computer with my ipod and itunes wont connect to it either. also i have forgotten my ipod passcode

i cant connect to my computer with my ipod and itunes wont connect to it either. also i have forgotten my ipod passcode

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.
And if necessary
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
Or
See
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
- I would start with
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
- New cable and different USB port
- Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause

Why is my macbook pro running so slow and losing internet connection?

Why is my Macbook Pro downloading so slowly and losing internet connection frequently?

Write off the MS stuff as indicators for now--starting with Office 2008, they developed very long launch times. The time to launch 2008 on my old 1.25Ghz G4 and my MBP 2.2G are virtually the same. Even document opens/saves are slow compared to Office 2004 and earlier.
1) You have adequate hard drive space so that eliminates one of the usual suspects.
2) Check for runaway background processes. Quit all running user applications so the computer is at normal idle. Find Activity Monitor in Applications > Utilities and launch it. If you've not run it before, change the "Show" pulldown at the top of the AM window from its default of "User Processes" to "All Processes." There is a column for "%CPU." Click that column header to sort by CPU usage. Watch the processes "bubble" for about a minute to get a better picture of the usage.
If any process is using more than about 25 percent of the CPU cycles while the computer is idling, post the names of the processes and we can see if they can be eliminated. My MBP shows nothing using more that about 5 percent on any given test run as long as I close all my user apps.
3) If you have never done any sort of maintenance procedures, taht can slow you down. Simply restarting the computer a few times a week clear a lot of temporary files. You also may wish to review this article on the Mac OSX periodic maintenance scripts, which, if run, also do a lot of cleanup:
http://thexlab.com/faqs/maintscripts.html
There are other useful articles on file maintenance associated with the one. Here's the index:
http://thexlab.com/faqs/faqs.html
Check out articles with "Maintain" and "Tuning" in the titles.
4) Use Disk Utility to check the SMART Status of your hard drive. A failing drive can make things slow before it makes things stop.

Hi guys.Got a problem with my iPhone 5. I bought it in a shop 4 month ago. After I got a visitor with iOS 7 on his phone he would like to charge his phone with my Laptop and cable.But when he plugged it in it showed a message wich says: " This cable or accessory is not certified and may not work reliably with this phone".
How is this possible? I then phoned the shop and told them my problem. When I gave them the details I also found out that the imei No. in the iPhone is the same as on the original box. But the the Serial numbers are different. I already try the support centre but I’m over the 90 days.And there is no Apple Store in Namibia. I hope someone can help me here. Thanks, Ralfar

You are right, but how could i send it to Apple? when the phone company first replaced my iphone they had in stock alots of iphones and they just sent mine back to Apple and gave me a new one, so all i did is to give them my phone, but now how could i sent it to Apple? and i cant send it by myself, and the store wont do that, its a lost for them.. so sending it to Apple wasnt an option from the begining.
and for the record, i dont think the store where i bought it is an authorized shop.. its just a store who boughts phone's from Apple in a low price and sells it in much more money..
