What's happening to wifi, recently? So many problems here...

Some days ago wifi refused working at home, AFTER MONTHS without a single problem. Since then I'm restoring, resetting, forgetting networks, rejoining networks, tinkering with my AirPort Station - nope. It works when it wants to work, without a recognizable pattern. What is this all about? Why stopped it working without a change?
It was a hidden network without encryption but MAC filtering, as I said - working for months. I came home, heard a litte "ding" after a few minutes for my new emails, and was happy.
Now the best I can get is visible network, with WPA encryption. It works, if you bring some time for about 4 connection-circles it needs to acces internet. It's stable for some time when it's connected, but looses the connection quite often.
I'm on 1.1.3, but that didn't help either. AirPort-Station is about 2 Meters away. 2 other Macs in the network with absolute NO problem, whatever setting I tried.
Any ideas?
THANKS!

I use an Airport Extreme for my wireless network at home and I don't use MAC filtering but I use WPA2 Personal encryption which is much more secure than WEP without any problems since installing the 1.1.3 update. Using WPA2 instead of WEP doesn't resolve the problem but have you tired using WPA2 Personal for the encryption instead which is much more secure than WEP anyway?
I also connect to the wireless network at my office - not sure what type of encryption is used but probably WEP since we have some older PCs connecting to this network and no problems there either.
Nor with any of the free Wi-Fi networks I connect to at various restaurants and a coffee shop that I frequent often which are not password protected.

  • I ve buyed a E72, but read so many problems here. ...

    I´m afraid to repent
    and these can be solved with a new firmware?
    Cause I´m think this phone it´s so great and love Nokia phone (a only sad with a low fps in video mode)
    I want to use email, with bluetooth headset, use fring app...
    So i want to know 
    E72. Really worth it? 
    *sorry my bad english, I´m from Brazil.

    I use the phone for almost 3 weeks and I have to say it is really worthy buying the phone.  Yes, there are some bugs and lags that happen once in awhile, but that's nothing that makes me want to sell the phone and replace with another model or type.  I hope the next firmware can solve most of the problem.  Some people say E71 is better or faster than E72.  Well, I never use E series before, so I have no complaint regarding the speed of E72 compare to my previous N95 and N82 phone.  Except for the 5MP camera is could not be compare with N95 (Carl Zeiss) and N82 (Carl Zeiss and Xenon Flash).  And, I love the QWERTY keyboard layout and 2.36" screen
    @shripadlale, how can you make skype beta works on E72?  I tried to download and install skype beta.  the application is perfectly installed, but I only can use for chatting.  I can't hear my voice on the echo test nor people can't hear me while calling using skype.  I have no problem using Fring, except Fring doesn't have Skype video call.

  • What will happen if I switch Apple ID

    My mum has gone on holiday to bangladesh for 2 weeks and in return for house sitting and dog sitting, has left her IPad her for my Girlfriend to play on! The issue is my girlfriend wants to be able to play certain games with her own account! So I would like to know what will happen if she was to switch to her account using her apple id??
    A: If she signs my mum out of her apple account will all the apps be removed ?
    B: Once my girlfriend signs in will it automatically install all her apps
    C: So I guess the best way to describe it is, can my girlfriend switch accounts without affecting any of my mums apps, and of course after the 2 weeks are up switch back to my mums account.

    You could back up granny's iPad and restore it from your girlfriend's computer then reverse that when she returns.
    What does your girlfriend normally use to play these games?
    You can remove granny's account in Settings > iTunes & Apps, change it to the girlfriends and have her download her apps. This will not delete granny's apps but if she has autoupdate turned on they will not update. When granny is returning have your girlfriend first delete all of her apps then sign granny back in.
    You will need grannie's password for here Apple ID for any of this to work.
    Sorry, didn't see it was your mum.

  • I'm worried about what will happen if I delete my recent backup data from the phone I still own? Will I lose any progress in games that was saved in the backup?

    I'm worried about what will happen if I delete my recent backup data from the phone I still own? Will I lose any progress in games that was saved in the backup?
    I have an iPhone 4S and I keep getting those irritating notifications that tell me I need to upgrade my storage or free up space. I've deleted all I can from my music and photos without losing too many precious memories, but it's come to the point where I think I need to delete backups. However, I'm just worried that I will lose all and any log-in information that I don't remember and app/game progress that was saved to the iCloud. Please Tell me what will happen/what I can do?

    If you are asking what happens when you delete an iCloud backup, it only deletes the backup from your account.  It won't do anything to the data on your phone or in your iCloud account.  If you don't need to backup you can delete it.  (If you no longer want to back up your phone to iCloud, turn iCloud backup off in Settings>iCloud>Backup.  Then your phone will back up to your computer each time you sync it with iTunes.)

  • What is happening in the most recent keynote when I click on a slide and it pulses (larger-smaller)  Two of my slides have disappeared in the navigator although if I play through them they are there.

    What is happening in the most recent keynote when I click on a slide and it pulses (larger-smaller)  Two of my slides have disappeared in the navigator although if I play through them they are there and the slides have their orignal number--there are just white spaces where the slide should be and I can only get to the slide by clicking through from the prior slide.  How do I get the sldies back into the navigator so I can see them.  Oddly, they are show up just find on the light table. 

    Try removing any transitions or builds on these slides, or delete the slides then recreate them as fresh slides.
    There are many playback anomalies in Keynote 6 which Apple have said they will be  sorting out next year.

    I never used icloud before so there is no data to back up from. I just spoke  to the apple store and they said that if I do plug it in, all the data will be swiped....is there a program I can use to transfer my data from my phone to computer without loosing it all ???

    I have an iphone 4s and recently purchased a 5 for my wife.  When I plug her phone into our computer I'm asked if I want to set up as a new phone or back up. I'm not sure what to do her phone is already set up with an icloud account.  Can I sync her phone with the player that I have installed and transfer content to her phone or will my phone be removed from the player?

    Set up as new, since it newer has been connected to iTunes. Your iPhone will remain on iTunes. I have 4 different devices on my iTunes with no problems.
    And regarding the sync - it will sync whatever you tell it to sync on iTunes.

  • HT203421 I have recently purchased some apps from the app store and after downloading them, the icon that appears in the dock changes to a different icon. It is now the same icon appearing on all newly downloaded apps.  Does anyone know what is happening

    I have recently purchased some apps from the app store and after downloading them, the icon that appears in the dock changes to a different icon. It is now the same icon appearing on all newly downloaded apps.  Does anyone know what is happening here? Even updating an older game app resulted in the original game icon changing to the new identical icon that all new apps are appearing with.  This new icon is like a page with a ruler, pencil and paintbrush. Any tips on how to stop this or how to revert to the icon as it appears on the app store would be appreciated.

  • I have downloaded ios 5.1.1 and the wifi has stop working or it would stay on for less then 20min its only 9 months old can someone explain what is happening and if some know how to fix it

    I have taken it back to the Apple store genius bar, but they say they don't see anything wrong. Well unless you use it all day and experience the problems when they happen, you wont see anything wrong. But there are lots wrong with it. But this would be the same store as I purchased the phone. And they backed up my old Iphone 4, but were not able to get anything to load back onto my new phone. So, I lost pretty much everything. But over time, some of my contacts have started showing up, although i am still missing over 800 of them.

    I have lost my harddrive which contains a vast amount of music I've been collecting for many years. I just purchased a new Mac, but I've reached my activation limit. And I only have access to 2 of the 5 activated computers. My old music can still be played on my iPod, but I need to set up another account on my new Mac. What will happen to my music if I were to deactivate all of activated computers?

    Authorization determines to which computers material requiring authorization can be transferrred using the itunes interface.  If you want to re-download past purchases then a computer need to be authorized.
    As for transferring music from the iPod, your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer is designed with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is purchased content.

    For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. Examples (check the web for others; this is not an exhaustive listing, nor do I have any idea if they are any good):

  • I recently downloaded an album and two of the songs on it play until about half way through and then cut out! What is happening and how do i get them back?

    I recently downloaded an album and two of the songs on it play until about half way through and then cut out! What is happening and how do i get them back?

    I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the entries, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.
    (Not entirely sure what happens after you click that link, but fingers crossed it should be relatively straightforward.)

  • What happened to the recently purchased icon on the left side of the playlist?  I used to could purchase songs from one of my computers and then put them on the second authorized computer by selecting recently purchased.  Is there another way?

    Well in order to keep all the ratings, playcounts ect ect of songs in iTUnes, place the songs back into there original folders/places on the "Old harddrive" by cutting (Not copying) them from the new Harddrive. Now iTunes should report the songs has being there and have ! marks beside the imported folder from your external Harddrive.
    Now you will delet the dead/broken links (Or missing music from the new drive)in iTUnes. Goto Ottos site for a script that will remove dead links and other things here
    Just download, unzip, and run the program.
    http://ottodestruct.com/iTunes/QuickScripts.zip
    Now with everything in place and the dead links removed you will either consolidate the library or set it to copy to another Folder. If you consolidate it moves ALL your music listed in iTunes to the "iTunes Music" folder and can not be reversed. If you set it to copy, it will just copy music from its current folder to the iTunes music folder. You will have to pick the best option for you but consolidating will work best if your trying to free up space. To consolidate goto "Advanced" and select "Consolidate Library". To copy goto Edit>preferenses>Advanced tab>general sub tab and check "Copy FIles to iTunes music Folder when added to library". THis location is also where you will change the location of iTunes Music folder from your old harddrive to the new one by hitting the "Change" button above the reset button
