TS1398 Google does not connect me tp some search results, whereas my iMac does. Any suggestions why?

I find a website on Google and try opening it. Nothing happens. The same webaddress opens if you copy and past the web address, or if I do the search in Google on an iMac.

Hello Bob,
thanks a lot for your reply. It actually helped me: I turned on and filled in "5GHz Network name", gave the 5GHz network another name and forced the iMac to connect to this network. It wasn't actually that seamless, because for some reason the 5GHz network appears much later in the site survey than the 2.4GHz one, and when I first tried it and didn't see the 5GHz network in the list, I typed the network name manually. This way I verified that the 5GHz network at least works.
The fact that the iMac connects to the stronger signal is interesting, I would expect kind of a more intelligent behaviour from one Apple device talking to another Apple device, but never mind. Yet one more thing: now I can see that the 5GHz connected iMac has Signal -57 and Noise -96. Doesn't this mean that this network has better signal-to-noise ratio than the 2.4 GHz network (which has -69 and -96 respectivelly)? So why does iMac choose the more noisy network anyway?
Thank you
JR

I open a new webpage in a new tab. I then go to a link and the back button does not allow me to go back to the original webpage. Any suggestions?

I don't think you understood the question. I am having the exact same issue. I open a link in a new tab or window, for example: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/backforedrop/
When the new tab opens, I click on "reviews" to open the link: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/backforedrop/#reviews in the existing tab because I want to see the reviews for this feature. After I read the reviews, I want to go back to the main link, but the back button on my browser is greyed out, as though I was never even on the previous page. So my options are 1) Open every link I ever click on in a new tab or window, or 2) Hope the website is user friendly and attempt to navigate back to the previous page using links inserted on the current page.
You never realize how frustrating not having back button is until it happens.

My album artwork is scrambled and manually changing the artwork does not seem to keep the right artwork with the songs! Any suggestions?

I manually re-synced my ipod with all of my music because I had typed in a bunch of names where my library had previously said track#/unknown album, and when I was done syncing, a good percentage of the album art was scrambled. When I try to manually change the artwork on the inappropriately tagged albums or delete and re-sync the album, it does not keep the artwork that I assign to it or the correct artwork that is associated with it in itunes. Is there anything I can do to fix this?

It seems like I've seen this... I think you should un-sync all music (in iTunes) hit Apply and then resync it all back on.

Firefox does not connect to the internet on this computer, though it does on another computer and though Internet Explorer also connects without any obvious problem.

About 1 year ago I helped to set up Firefox on my mother's computer. It worked fine until a couple of days ago. Now it no longer connects to the internet. The system is Windows XP, service pack 3. Internet Exporer does connect to the Internet on this computer. Also, I have another computer with Firefox and it works with no problem wirelessly. We tried removing Firefox and then reloading it and that did not help. We get no error messages. The internet and Firefox simply don't seem to see each other.

Sounds like a Firewall problem, seems to affect
Firefox more than other browsers.

My Airport does not connect to network from Windows laptop, but guest network does connect to internet

HT1515 Mavericks does not anymore support former versions of Airport Express Setup tool. Any suggestion ?

Maverick's Airport Express setup tool (>= v6) is no longer supporting old versions of Airport Express device.
I could not notice this limitation before moving to Mavericks, and so far, I have no other alternative than buying a more recent version of Airport Express to be able to reconfigure it to fit in my new home wifi configuration.
Is anyone facing the same issue ?
Such an obsolescence planning is unacceptable from Apple. They shoud solve this mistake through a new release of the Airport Express configuration tool, but at this point I'm not really sure they will do it one day...
Is anyone also frustrated or upset with this ?
Thanks,
Philippe.

There are literally hundreds of posts on this topic that offer a number of solutions. You may want to search the Discussions forum to access them ... and yes, there are a number of frustrated users due to this.
Basically you have the following choices:
Use a Mac running an earlier OS X version that supports v5.6 of the AirPort Utility.
Run a virtual machine on your Mac that is running an earlier OS X version.
Use a Windows-based PC.
Update to a newer base station.
There are also a couple of other solutions / "hacks" that involve Terminal edits or using script files that are not supported by Apple.

Suddenly command-shift-3 does not produce a screenshot. Two days ago, no problem. Any suggestions?

Why does command-shift-3 no longer produce a screenshot? Two days ago, no problem. This evening the keys click and nothing happens. I'm in OSX 10.9.1.

The key combination for saving a screenshot to a file is command-shift-3 or 4. If you press command-control-shift-3 or 4, the image will be copied to the Clipboard, and no file will be created.

When using my LG android phone to download Firefox I get a message stating "The requested item could not be found". And when I try to find it in the android market on my phone it does not come up in the search results.

This occurs every time.

Ipad mini does not connect SOME wifi

My iPad mini does not connect some wifi. I tried all instructions like resetting settings, on-off router, manuel configuration but it is still same. I am using same router at my home and with same confiqs, it is connecting there, other iPads, iPhones are also connecting to wifi here, It also connects some other wifi's.
I've read that there is no solution, I have to change it.
Do you have any other idea? Because here-Turkey- it is not easy to do it like USA.

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

When i connect my iPod to my computer it does not sync fully. Some songs in the library have an ! next to them. Apple have just replaced my original one as the battery was failing. Any suggestions?

When i connect my iPod to the computer it does not fully sync. Some of the songs in the library are marked with an ! and it says the songs cannot be found but when the iPod is not connected they are all there. Any ideas? Thanks

I had this problem before. What I did (which is good advice to anyone with electronic copies of music) is to back up all my music to an external hard drive. I then deleted all music from iTunes and copied back across from my external hard drive. Just make sure that under Preferences - Advanced in iTunes, you have iTunes Media folder location set as your C: drive, tick the boxes for "Keep iTunes Media Folder Organised" and "Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library".

TS1398 iPhone 4 does not connect automatically and does not remember wifi password

After being idle for a while, my iPhone 4 goes off wifi and when I am connecting manully, the phone does not remember the wifi password. I have a iPhone 3 and 5 where this is not a problem. Can this be linkes to the phone company you use? The iPhone 4 has a different phone company than the other phones. Can anyone help please?

Hi Damien,
Thanks for your reply.
I had not created 2 separated wireless network. The airport extreme has had create wireless allowing it to be extended and the airport express has had it to extend since day 1.
The only device that does not connect to the airport express when it is far from the airport extreme here is the iPhone 4. I've tested 2 Windows based computers, 2 Macs, 1 Samsung TV and 1 Android phone and they all are able to connect to the airport express when the signal from the airport extreme is weak (please take a look on the screen shots on the original post).
The screenshots of the 2 devices' wireless set up can be found below:
Airport Extreme
Airport Express
I have seen other people here on the Apple discussions complaining about the same issue with their iPhone 4 and iPad: would it be a iOs problem?
Regards
Gilson

Bought a new Ipod touch and the WiFi does not connect. Tried Reset and total Restore, does not connect to Router on DHCP, tried Static manually and still can not get it to connect even though it registers as connected.

Bought a new Ipod touch and the WiFi does not connect. Tried Reset and total Restore, does not connect to Router on DHCP, tried Static IP, Subnet, Router and DNS manually and still can not get it to connect even though it registers as connected. Using Airport for router, latest firmware, no problems with Iphone 4 or Macbook Pro or any other internet devices. After total Restore (factory settings) tried again, showed connected to router, but does not display "check" next to router but little rotating icon even though the wifi range signal shows connected at full strength and it says it is connected. Just can't seem to get it to generate an IP. Any solutions other than turning it on and off again? Not a Merry Christmas morning.

Ok, so, a couple of things: Denisefromwaleska and I have the exact same size/type/color iPod. Now wishing I'd bought the black one maybe...
Second, Airport is an Express and I have a second one that I carry with me when I travel. Tried to connect my Airport Express to the internet and could not although the iPod did recognize the router and tried to connect to the internet for some time, unlike my previous problem. Updated firmware on my travel router, still could not connect to the internet. Going to try to set up a manual Static IP on the travel router here in a few and conect through it although I predict the problem will persist. Back on the Christmas Present Airport Express router, it is back in play and working fine for all devices save the iPod.
Thanks again for all your help, hopefully I can get a solution in place soon,
