What would prevent me from turning on wi fi?

I,ve been using my MacBook Air with a comcast provided router for 18 months without a connectivity problem until today. Suddenly the wi fi is turned off and I cannot get it to turn on. There are no bars showing on the indicator, but wi fi is working because I am using my iPad mini to post this query. What would cause the MacBook Air wi fi to shut down? It worked fine yesterday. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks. Bill

For anyone interested, I think the crux of this issue was that once upon a time, my son also had an iphone, and then was switched to non-phone (he dropped his iphone and it cracked beyond use). I went through the "unregister" process that is documented online. However, something stuck. That said, my plan was always to get him an iphone in the future, but was waiting for his plan to be in upgrade mode, and also, I had him use a crappy phone to understand the value of a nice phone -- even though, he only had an iPhone 4, 8G, and it was free, I wanted to teach him about taking care of the phone...
That said, he got his upgrade a few days ago, and it immediately fixed the iMessage issue on his iPad...odd, still.

What would happen if I turn off my backup and delete backup data From my device? Will it delete my music and everything for ever or just stay in the cloud but not on my device?

What would happen if I turn off my backup and delete backup data From my device? Will it delete my music and everything for ever or just stay in the cloud but not on my device?

If you have multiple devices backing up to the Cloud, you will see all of them listed. You would click on each device to change what is backed up from that device. You can then delete your individual back-ups.
Once you have all your settings to your liking, you can then go back to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup, and click on Back Up Now (bottom of the screen) to create a fresh backup with your new settings.

I just backed up my mac to an external hard drive using Time Machine. What would happen if I turn Time Machine off and then plug the external hard drive back into my computer?

I just backed up my mac to an external hard drive using Time Machine. What would happen if I turn Time Machine off and then plug the external hard drive back into my computer?
What I am ultimately wanting to do is make more room on my computer by backing up all of my files onto the external hard drive and then deleting them off of my computer. However, neededing to be able to retrieve them from the external hard drive later down the road.
From what I have read and am trying to understand, is that I probably shouldn't have used time machine. I need to use the external hard drive like a basic flash drive where I can put things on and get things off without having it automatically update through time machine everytime I connect it to my computer.
Not tech savvy at all and barely understand basics. I need very simple and easy to understand explanations.

BIG BIG MISTAKE ..... youre making a linchpin deathtrap for your data trying to shove everything on a single fragile HD.
Dont suffer the tragedy other people make, buy another or 2 more HD, theyre cheap as dust.
The number of people who have experienced terror by having a single external HD backup is enormous. One failure that WILL HAPPEN, and kaput,......all gone!
Dont do it, its all about redundancy, redundancy, redundancy.
follow here:
Methodology to protect your data. Backups vs. Archives. Long-term data protection
Deleting them off your computer is fine....having only ONE copy is extremely BAD.
The Tragedy that will be, the tragedy that never should be
Always presume correctly that your data is priceless and takes a very long time to create and often is irreplaceable. Always presume accurately that hard drives are extremely cheap, and you have no excuse not to have multiple redundant copies of your data copied on hard drives and squirreled away several places, lockboxes, safes, fireboxes, offsite and otherwise.
Hard drives aren't prone to failure…hard drives are guaranteed to fail (the very same is true of SSD). Hard drives dont die when aged, hard drives die at any age, and peak in death when young and slowly increase in risk as they age.
Never practice at any time for any reason the false premise and unreal sense of security in thinking your data is safe on any single external hard drive. This is never the case and has proven to be the single most common horrible tragedy of data loss that exists.
Many 100s of millions of hours of lost work and data are lost each year due to this single common false security. This is an unnatural disaster that can avoid by making all data redundant and then redundant again. If you let a $60 additional redundant hard drive and 3 hours of copying stand between you and years of work, then you've made a fundamental mistake countless 1000s of people each year have come to regret.

What would prevent AS3 to function in an otherwise working copy...

of Flash CS5.5? I upgraded from Flash 8 to CS5.5 recently. I've used Flash strictly for animations until recently so haven't really tinkered with AS3 at all. I tried some tutorials and got "1120 Property not recognized errors" and assumed that there was something wrong with my settings or my code. After uninstalling, reinstalling, reformatting, and trying several sample files I've found online, it's clear that the AS3 function just is not compatible with my computer. The animation functions work perfectly, but I cannot get the debugger to connect and AS# refuses to recognize any instances on the stage (and, yes, I have triple checked that publish settings are set to do so. ) Is this unusual? What would prevent the AS3 from working when everything else is fine?

Below is a link to an fla I just created that uses your code with the two objects identified by the code. This file is created using CS3. See if it tests okay for you. If so, see what is different about it that might be the cause for yours not working. If not, there are some Adobe folks infrequently in the Flash General forum you might want to try to get the attention of.

Hello - I used a Sony DVD to burn 350 songs. When I put the DVD into another computer to rip those 350 songs, the 'import songs' button never appeared in the lower right hand corner of iTunes. What's preventing songs from being ripped?

Hello - I used a Sony DVD to burn 350 songs from my iTunes library to share with a friend. When I put the DVD into my friend's computer to rip those 350 songs, the 'import songs' button never appeared in the lower right hand corner of iTunes. Anybody know what's preventing me from ripping what's on the DVD?

When I put the DVD into my friend's computer to rip those 350 songs, the 'import songs' button never appeared in the lower right hand corner of iTunes.
The import command only works with audio CDs. So if you burned the files in mp3 format, try instead using the "File > Add file to library" or "File > Add folder to library" commands.

I have WRT54GS, but what would I gain from a Draft n Router?

I have a WRT54GS router and I am wondering what would a new Draft N router do for me? Is it worth the upgrade?
Which Draft N model would be an upgrade to the WRT54GS?
How much faster will it be than my existing GS?
Also,
My WRT54GS is very stable, how stable is the new Draft N models?

you can go for any of n- routers...the range will be 4 times farther and the speed will be 12 times faster than the normal g standard routers...
I am sure I am not the most knowledgeable person to answer this, and judging from your profile you may be more apt to give a "right" answer than I, but as I stated above if the OP has no current issues with their setup then there would really be no reason to update to an N router.
Who really needs 12 times more speed and 4 times more range if you are never more than 50-60 feet from your router to begin with, not to mention if you still only have a G card in your laptop or PC then you would not get the "benefits" of the N router anyway, am I wrong in this assumption?
I'm not trying to step on anyone's toes I just don't like when someone is told to buy something more than what they will need, unless they are buying something that is going to be outdated in 3 months then maybe they should look to future proof a bit more, in which case maybe an N router would be the best choice, but I personally would just like a little more to come out on the N standard as far as being the final version. Also don't these companies putting out the N routers make the claims that their "draft N" hardware may not even be compatible once a final version is brought to market? Meaning you would have to buy a new N router anyway?
Don't take my post as harsh, it isn't meant that way, just a discussion and some points of interest.

What would prevent createobject ("application.illustrator") from working in a VB Script

I have an automated process that monitors for Illustrator Docs and saves them as PDF.
The script is invoked from a service and was working fine, in the middle of processing, we starting getting the error "ActiveX component can't create object"
The error number is 429.
If I run the program interactively it works fine.
I am running the service under a named account that has local admin privlege to the box.
Windows2003 Standard, SP2
Illustrator 15 CS5 Design Premium.
From everything I can tell nothing on the machine has changed.
No updates, etc.
I have tried reinstalling Illustrator
All adobe patches are up to date.
I have tried creating a different account and get the same result, works fine running interactively, can't create object id script is invoked from a service.
Interestingly, you do see Illustrator.exe process in memory for a few seconds, the memory stalls ~30K and doesn't move.
When you run interactively the process is very active and memory grows was past 30K
Very baffled by this, any thoughts or insight is appreciated.
Greg

Good morninig,
Did you check the VBA menus tools\references to be sure that you use the lastest Library (Adobe Illustrator CS5 Type Library). If you have oldest dll try to remove them.
On PC opening Illustrator before using VBA macros is also a good approach.
Good luck

Cap6 What would prevent a project from jumping to previous slides?

My current project is using buttons with jump to slide to move between four slides in sequence. When the project is previewed the buttons that progress forward work correctly however none of the buttons that go to previous slides work.
When the progress bar is moved back it does not move past a certain point. If you move the progress bar forward rapidly you can then access the previous slides and the buttons begin to function correctly.
Has anyone encountered this issue and found a resolution?

How did you check? Preview in browser or after publishing? Are those the navigation buttons on a default playbar or custom buttons?
Do you have question slides? If yes, what are the Quiz settings? Do you allow Backwards navigation, what is the Required setting?
Do you have pretest slides? Is Branch aware checked?
Which version (exact number) of 6? I'm asking this because the version ending on 199 had some navigation problems.

What is preventing me from editing this PDF in Acrobat?

I did some extensive editing of a form, and so chose to do it in FormsCentral. When I finished my changes, I did a File - Save as PDF Form. The outcome of this was the opening of Adobe Acrobat with the form. This is the point that I added the third-party calendars to the date fields, and saved it. When I open it now to do a change, I get this error message: "This is a secured document. Editing is not permitted." When I open it in reader, the calendars do not function. What do I need to do to be able to edit my form in Acrobat?

If you are the author and have Acrobat Pro. You can save as a Copy which turns off reader rights and allow you to edit the form.
Then you have to reestablish reader rights. so That receipient can only fill in the form.
To make more than a minor misspelling Then I would If you have set reader rights Make a Copy.
Then make changes in original Document. save PDF under different name.
the in your open PDF you intend to use locate Replace Pages. Choose starting point and browser to the New PDF and choose to replace All. Next you may or may not have to adjest where your fields line up. Is so , then click on each field in turn that needs moving and use arrrow keys or home keys to move up down, side to side until you have them lined up. Now Save Changes. and re-establish Reader Right if you had set them up.

What would you change from factory default on router

Newbie here. For all the master techs out there. What all should be changed from factory defaults on router to make it as safe as possible? thanks

1. Change the router password (default "admin") on the Adminstration tab. Choose a good longer password.
2. Enable wireless security WPA or WPA2 in the Personal/PSK variant.
3. Choose a good passphrase, if possible use a random generated 63 character string.
That's about what you have to do to secure the router and the wireless.

What would cause monitors to turn blue?

i was sitting here reading emails, chatting on yahoo and was getting ready to work on some ad files. all the sudden both my monitors just showed blue. nothing else. i had several programs running... Illustrator, Photoshop, Quark, Distller, Font Suitcase, Text Edit, Mail, Messenger... but this is a typical day for me and has been for several years now and i've never had anything like this happen before. the monitors came back briefly then went to blue again so i just did a hard shut down, restarted and so far seems ok. i ran disk utilities and repaired permissions. but does anyone have any thoughts as to why this would happen?

I feel 3GB of RAM is to low for all the demands you are putting on your machine. I have 5GB and I don't do anywhere near the Apps. open, all at once, as you do.
I added Crucial RAM (install in pairs only). Extremely Mac friendly RAM.It might pay to run your Apple Hardware Test also.

What would prevent my starting Firefox 3.6.10 on Windows 7?

Regardless of how I try to bring up Firefox 3.6.10, from Desktop, from Windows menu, from program library, nothing happens. No error message nor any sign of Firefox. This happened a couple of days ago and then tonight.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
This issue can be caused by the Personas 1.6.0 extension. If you have it then update to Personas 1.6.1

I am unable to connect to the Web with Firefox, the firefox site displays on screen, yet I can connect on the same desktop computer to Internet explorer and Opera, what is preventing me from opening the firefox browser

I am unable to connect to the web on my desktop with Firefox 8, the program displays but will not connect to the Internet, Other browsers Internet Explorer and Opera do connect on the same machine. McAfee is not blocking it, virus checks detect no virus yet yesterday it worked perfectly

I tried what was suggested by starting in Safe Mode but the problem still exists. I am frustrated as I cannot connect to my Verizon Fios page. I can connect to the Internet with the Firefox Browser and can go to any web site except finding my Verizon Home page.
