Trying to connect second laptop wirelessly but can only use numbers in password field
I've connected my Mac and another PC to my Valet Plus with no trouble. The third PC, running Windows XP, can only be connected as a guest. When trying to connect to this laptop to the home network, the password will only accept numbers.
I've tried changing the PC's security settings, disabling the firewall, etc. Has anyone experienced this problem?
What is the service pack on your computer?
If it is windows XP service pack 1 then I think you will need to upgrade the OS to SP3. Because SP1 will not support WPA/WPA2 security mode.
When you install the router using Cisco connect, the wireless security on the router will be WPA/WPA2.

Can connect to LAN wirelessly but can not connect to the internet.
The problem:
I can connect to the wireless router and modem router wireless and can browse the router setting web pages etc without issue. However i can not browse the internet, send or receive mail etc.
The setup:
A Belkin/iinet modem connects to the internet (ip 10.1.1.1), a DLink 565 then broadcasts the signal wirelessly (ip 10.1.1.100).
What i have tried:
Trusty old powercycle
I know the internet is working via the wifi as my ipod touch has full internet functionality through my wifi.
I have tried using ip address instead of urls to browse the web to no luck.
I have tried deleting Libary\Preferences\SystemConfiguration\preferences.plist
I have tried reseting the DHCP lease.
The only other thing i know works (eventually) is if i constantly change locations back and forth and turn airport on and off repeatedly, eventually i will get on the wifi but that can take upwards of an hour.
The macbook also works fine via ethernet connected to the wireless router.Check these details:
1. Right click your wireless connection
2. Select STATUS
3. Select the SUPPORT tab
4. Select the DETAILS button
You should see a page with all sorts of network details.
Make sure that you see the following:
1. You have an assigned IP address from your router
2. You have a default gateway address -- typically the IP address of your router.
3. A primary and alternate DNS server address (the router gets
these from your ISP and passes them along during DHCP connect
processing.)
I found that step #3 did not happen reliably. Your mileage may vary. I set DNS server values into my router, based on what I got from my ISP, so that the connect-time data handoff was not required. A large part of my troubles went away.

My laptops broken, I can't open itunes at all on it so how can I get my music onto my new laptop with only my ipad which has all my music on it?
Hello kevinfromripon
There are a few options that you can do. If your old computer sill works but iTunes just does not open, you can try and copy the iTunes folder to an external hard drive and then add that information on to your new computer by either putting it into the same place as it was on the old computer or just adding the media into iTunes. If the media was purchased from the iTunes Store, you can import those in by following the step in the last article or you can go to the iTunes Store and look at your purchases and download them directly from there.

Trying to make changes in Terminal but can't get past the password request
I am trying to run Piano Wizard from a managed accout but I get this: Data.pwf missing
I found these FIX instructions on their web site but I can't get it to work....
METHOD1: If you know the password of the owner account of the machine. Please follow only these instructions. The changes outlined below will modify only the Piano Wizard files.
Terminal: (These instructions are for a standard install with the game installed to Applications) refers to the user account that owns the machine – you will have to know the name of this admin user (i.e. bob)
1. Launch Terminal (Applications->Utilities->Terminal)
2. "cd /Applications"
3. "su "
4. enter the password and hit enter
5. "chmod -R 755 Piano Wizard.app/"
We are now done - close Terminal by hit COMMAND-Q (Apple-Q) That's it - launch Piano Wizard
When I launch Terminal I get - "computer name":~"admin name"$, I follow steps 1-3 not problem...
I get to step #4, put in my password then I get this "su: Sorry"
Please help, I only know of one password...is there another one somewhere?
MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.8)Run the following command:
chmod -R 755 Piano\ Wizard.app
Spaces and other special characters need to be escaped when entering commands into the Terminal; this can be done by putting a backslash in front of them, or enclosing some or all of the string in quote marks:
chmod -R 755 'Piano Wizard.app'

Ipad to soundbar wireless - but can i use headphones without interrupting the wireless????
hi guys.... im stuck on a problem
i am connected via bluetooth to my soundbar using my ipad.. BUT... i want to connect my headphones to the ipad so i can DJ from the Djay2 app, it has split output in the Djay app so thats good but of course as soon as i put the headphones in the ipad to start mixing the headphone jack must over ride the bluetooth connectivity and it stops transmitting to the soundbar through bluetooth and the sound starts in the headphones.
My question - can you play through bluetooth and have headphones in at the same time??? there must be a way??????iOS takes outputs: bluetooth devices, 3.5 mm jack, apple tv, ... as independent channels. You can only pick one at a time. You can connect your iDevice with a few bluetooth devices, you can only pick one device to output.

Message Edited by CountryGirl2 on 07-15-2007 03:13 PMHey there CountryGirl2!
Let me start asking you for a few things first and probably we could make a solution out of your problem:
1. What's the model# of your router? Try to look underneath it and you'd see it below the Linksys label. ex. WRT54G v6.
2. Do you have any computer which is physically connected to the router and is able to get online? -

I have a Mac Book Pro 2009 and a Samsung 32" Class (31.5" Diag.) 450 Series 720p LCD HDTV (2010 model).
I am using a mini display port to VGA adapter. I have sucessfully hooked up boh devices but it stopped working after a handful of times. I was wondering if there is anything I can do to fix the problem or is my cable broken?Some things you can try.

I have an airport extreme. i am trying to connect a laptop with windows 7 to a wireless printer, with no luck. any ideas?
The problem is not the router.. the issue is the vpn has put your computer in a different IP range with a different gateway. When you turn off the vpn the computer returns to local lan and can print.
Some vpn software allows you to set gateway to use local net instead of remote gateway or access to other webistes or local lan.
Read up the issue.

Cisco vpn client..
https://supportforums.cisco.com/thread/239113
I did not search much.. just grabbed the first article I could find that explains the issue.
The whole point of the vpn is whilst it is connected your computer is NOT part of the Local Lan .. it is part of the Remote LAN via the vpn tunnel.
It is also a security risk using split tunnelling so often it will not be allowed.
Plug the printer directly into the computer via usb or whatever.. Local connection will work.. not local lan. -
I am trying to connect a PC wirelessly to my Mac OS X. The PC finds the Mac but asks for the WEP number. Where do I find this number?
Then use multipel 99 picture slideshows.
You can have up to 8 or 9 slideshows per menu. If you add a sub menu reduce that by 1 and add 8 more to the sub menu. The top menu can have links to up to 8 or so submenus (depends on the theme) and each submenu can have up to 8 or so slideshows.
However, converting a very large slideshow to a QT movie as Terence suggested does not envoke the 99 slide limit in iDVD. It just becomes a single video/movie file. So you should not have a problem with exporting at the large size, 720 x 540,
and dragging the resulting file into the iDVD menu being sure to avoid any drop zones.

My laptop continually tries to connect to HP3050 wireless even if I am not near the printer.
HP3050 wireless printer Samsung Laptop with Win 7 SP1
My laptop every minute or two runs a program in the background. I see an egg next to the mouse pointer. I used Process Explorer to establish that it is trying to connect to HP3050 wirelessly. This happens even if I am nowhere near the printer. It is very annoying and uses up computer resources. I have removed the printer for now and the problem is cured. How can I fix this and use the printer again?

Trying to connect to apple wireless with my pc laptop
I am connecting to a apple network(wireless) but can not gain access to internet. I have no problem with hotel wireless networks or my one at home so I know my card is working. cannot figure out why I connect to my friends apple network but when I try email or to gain access to any web site I get:page not found or url not found. any help?
thanks!I went and tried again this weekend to log on going
thru my friends apple extreme network. still no go.
tried some new ideas but still have not got on to
the net. I asked him about wep and wpa. he says it
is a wep password but is tied into wpa network.
If he is using WPA, does your wireless adapter support WPA?
After
reading the many replys to my posts I went to a
sight that talks about AirPort Admin Utility for
Windows. Do I have to have this firmware or is this
for the administrer? he does not want me fooling
with his network he polietly told me. Do I need
this AirPort Admin Utility for Windows?
The Airport Admin Utility is only used to administer an airport base station, you do not use it for connecting to an Airport network.

Have a 802.11n time capsule, the range of the wireless network has shrunk down to nothing over last few days. Used to be able to use wireless network anywhere in house, but now can only use in my office. Will not connect to iphones, ipad, itouch, or notebook. Worked fine last week, but over weekend just started having issues.
It is very possible that you may have some form of Wi-Fi interference that has appeared recently that is preventing your Time Capsule (TC) from providing a clean RF signal.
I suggest you perform a simple site survey, using utilities like iStumbler, or AirRadar to determine potential areas of interference, and then, try to either eliminate or significantly reduce them where possible. Look for other Wi-Fis that may be operating nearby. Note those with the strongest signals and which channels they are operating on ... then change the channel used by the TC to be at least 3-5 channels away. -
