What other devices can emit an identified wifi signal that my touch can"see"
When I connect my Touch to WiFi, the list of available Wifi networks also show "other devices" in a separated column. One shows up with a cute name of "computer virus X3" and a little skull icon. It's showing itself as having a unlocked signal. What what can this "Other device" be, if it's not a WiFi router?
Please excuse my ignorance, I've never seen this before.
Thanks, Ron
Yes. Reset network settings. Head to Settings -> General -> Reset and tap Reset Network Settings.

How can I block a wifi signal that is overtaking my connection?
I am having a problem with a new network detected by all my apple products-iPhone 4s,
MacBook Pro running lion and older g4 I book running snow leopard. The network
Is called NOTFREE and had two signals - one secured and one unsecured that says guest.
Everytime any of my computers or phone connect I am redirected to the guest password
Site for Cisco. All my computers say I am connected to my connection, but when a page loads
It is redirected to the same guest login page at Cisco. I have deleted all networks except
Mine on my preferred list and it still goes to this redirected page. And the pull down list
When I click the network symbol at the top says I am on my network. This is very confusing
To me. Could I have a virus ?If you open System Preferences on one of your Macs, click on Wi-Fi on the left, then unlock (in the bottom left), and then click on Advanced... in the bottom right. It will then list all the Wireless networks that have been added to that Mac.
In this case it sounds like these networks have been previously added, therefore when the Mac is turned on it will try auto-connecting to them again.
You should first delete them from the list, and secondly consider turning off the 'Remember networks this computer has joined' to prevent them being added again.
If these other networks belong to someone else you cannot hide them or disable them, and in many countries jamming them would be illegal and interfere with your own Wi-Fi as well. -
What is a maximum remoteness between time capsule and device for having a good wifi signal?
What is a maximum remoteness between time capsule and device for having a good wifi signal?
In open air.. line of sight you should work very well over 100M and most likely still work at 200M.
Unfortunately in houses.. there is almost no way to tell. But you can assume signal on 5ghz will dimish very rapidly.. 2 or 3 walls/floors/major obstacles and nothing left.. 2.4ghz should manage your whole house but you might find signal in far corners unusable. Count the number of walls, floors/ceilings it is going through in a straight path, router to client. You can think of it as a 4" pipe.. and even the angles are important.. if it hits a wall made of brick at acute angle it is twice as thick as hitting it dead on. Mirrors, tinted glass are metal reflectors.. reinforced concrete is both a reflector with metal bars and absorber with concrete.. add a bit of moisture content and it is a great block. -
I recently installed a new hard drive in a MacBook 2007 and then 10.6.3. I'd like to be able to Sync iCal to the calendars I have created on other devices (new iCloud account and an ME account). I can't upgrade to 10.7 or 10.8 because the MacBook is 32 bit. Just looking for a workaround as this is not a primary device.
You should update to the latest version of Snow Leopard, 10.6.8 - you can download it here; however it's still not compatible with iCloud and though you can connect to access your email you cannot access any other of iCloud's facilities.
However some people have been able to set up calendar syncing by using the method detailed here - this is an unsupported hack and may not be reliable, and may stop working at some future point. I've not tried it: use at your own discretion.
To access the email:
Entering iCloud email settings manually in Snow Leopard or Leopard
Are you sure you can't upgrade to Lion? It requires an Intel Core 2 Duo processor, which you may well have, though it also needs 2GB RAM so you might need to add additional RAM (might not be worth it for what you want). The published specs don't mention 32 or 64 bit. You can buy Lion by ringing the Apple Store at the number at bottom left of this page. -
Can you upgrade the wifi card and if you can how much will it cost
hi i just got a macbook not the pro its the white one and i find it has a hard time grabbing my wifi and i know its the wifi card because i have 2 iphones and ipod touch and 2 laptops not including my macbook and all of them have no trouble holding the wifi connection so if anyone can help me out i just want to know can i upgrade the wifi card and if i can how much will it cost
ps i cant do any of take it apart my self and install it i just wan to know how much it will cost going through apple
thanksWhy do people think they are postiing in a notebook forum when if you look around, this is clearly something else.
If you really want a new Mac you have to buy one. That is part of the fun of owning laptops, they are not upgradeable. -
When I synch my phone or other devices to itunes, I get a message that the following songs could not be synched to itunes because the file could not be converted. However, these are songs that I bought directly from Itunes. Any suggestions?
Hello rafagee,
I understand that you are not able to sync a few songs you purchased from iTunes to your iPhone and other devices. There may be an issue with the file, but if you have the Apple ID and password used to purchase the songs, you can redownload them. You can even download the song directly to your iPhone. I found an article that will give you steps to do this on your computer and on your iPhone:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

Family account: Can we set it up so that each kid can only download what they want?
I have two kids. I'd like a family account. Older kid doesn't want apps and music that younger kid wants. Can we set it up so that each kid can only download what they want? Furthermore, can I set it up so that kids can only download things I approve?

I have installed Find My Friends app in my iPhone5 and can anyone tell me how can I insert my photo so that my friends can see me? Thank you.
I don't have Find My Friends installed but if I understand correctly, the photos that would display on your friends phones would come from the Contacts on their phone. Here is a previous discussion that may help: https://discussions.apple.com/message/25429023#25429023

My iPad (first generation iOS5.1.1.1) quit connecting to my home WiFi recently after years of being able to. All other devices in my home connect fine. I have taken every step I can find to try and remedy things including restoring my iPad to factory settings. Still nothing - when it tries to connect to my network it just spins. I took my iPad to work and it connected to the WiFi there just fine. Came back home, no good. After talking with my local Mac supplier they've suggested that maybe my router is the cause. I've unplugged it several times for lengths of up to an hour but that still isn't getting things working again. Any ideas?
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

Please help me find a solution to my problem. I am unable to connect to Wifi network at home using my Mac Pro which was working perfectly all right till yesterday. I have checked my Wifi connections and have other devices which are working fine. I tried resetting my network but still the problem exists. I am unable to figure out what next I can do to fix this? Does anyone know a solution or do you think my networking Card is not working? PLease advise?
Okay have you tried preferences>Network then click diagnostics?
to verify if you are communicating at all go to application>Utilities>Terminal
in terminal type ping google.com should get over and over (send what you get)
64 bytes from 173.194.34.164: icmp_seq=99 ttl=52 time=31.586 ms
if you get the above, then go to safari and re-set safari, then close safari, re-open and try google. -
My ipod touch will not detect any wifi signals but others devices such as my laptops; do connect without a problem. I restored my ipod and updated it and still no wifi signals are being detected.
Go to your ipod touch wireless settings chose your network and right beside there is button looks like ">" click on that check the dhcp what IP are you getting? do you get any ip? if you do your ipod touch should work with wireless no problem. Also, you may have to enter wep key again. After that it shou,d save your device

ThanksDoes the iPod connect to other networks?

Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iPod connect before?
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on the router
- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

When I try to use my iPad I get a message that says my iPad has not been backed-up for 2 weeks. I've plugged it in, locked it and wi fi is working with other devices but I can't get passed that message. I've tried turning the iPad off but even then I can't slide the bar to turn it off. Any suggestions?
Try this.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up. -
