    Precisely why it's not an iPad, and why it doesn't cost very much.  An Apple rep would tell you how to connect an iPad to every computer.

  • Connecting to Kindle Fire via hotspot

    Anyone else having trouble connecting their Kindle Fire to your iphone 4 hotspot?  Please help me if you have any idea what I am doing wrong.

        Happy day to you misterf,
    What better networkk to enjoy your Kindle Fire on than the largest, most reliable wireless network, Verizon Wireless. I know that you are super excited to download the latest books and periodicals on your Fire. I am honored to be the one to assist you with connecting to your iPhone 4 mobile hotspot. May I ask have you use the hotspot in the past on other devices? If so then here's a link on how to connect the Kindle Fire.

    If you have not used the mobile hotspot feature on your iPhone 4 before then we may need to provision your account for this service. The cost for this service will greatly depend on your calling plan. for example, if you have the Share everything plan then this amazing feature is built into you calling plan. As you test the steps in the link above, please keep the community updated as your experience may help another in the future. As always, if this doesn't resolve your issue then I am here to continue to assist.
    Thank you...

  • Can't connect either Kindle Fire device "Connection unsuccessful, please try again."

    I am unable to connect either Kindle fire device, an older 7" Fire, nor a newer 8.9 HDX. Computer is 64bit OS running Windows 7 Pro SP1  The Edge Inspect icon is showing in my notification area, so Edge Inspect is Running. The Edge Inspect Icon in Chrome is "waiting for a connection:. I ran netstat -a | find ":7682" in a command prompt window (running as admin) and got the following results
    TCP    0.0.0.0:7682        mary-J6GTBT1:0          LISTENING
    TCP    127.0.0.1:7682    mary-J6GTBT1:49865    ESTABLISHED
    TCP    127.0.0,1:49865    mary-J6GTMT1:7682    ESTABLISHED
    For security, ESET Smart Security 8 shows EdgeInspect.exe LISTENING at 0.0.0.0:7682 but 0 B sent and received. I disabled all other extensions in Chrome. Since neither device will connect, and both connect to the internet just fine, it seems like it has to be a setting in my network or my computer. I did try reinstalling the Edge Inspect app from the Kindle Store on both devices, but no love. I've run out of ideas to try. Just to be clear, I've never been able to get Edge Inspect going, today is the first time I've made a concentrated effort to get it working. I've tried connecting by tapping on my computer on my network, and by entering the IP address, neither works on either device.

    Nope - I thought this was the way to get tech support, but I guess not. Now I don't know what to do. Similar problem in Illustrator - lots of people complaining in the forum about how slow Illustrator is, but no help from Adobe. I guess Adobe just isn't doing support for its customers any more, it's become a "buyer beware" software company.

  • Is normal when i connect to wifi i can't view the bb icon whoever that i can browser the internet normally

    is normal when i connect to wifi i can't view the bb icon whoever that i can browser the internet normally, i have bb curve 9360

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!!
    It might be normal...I've heard (while rare) of some carriers preventing their BB users from using BB-proprietary services via WiFi. But, with a strong carrier network signal (e.g., not WiFi), I do suggest the following steps, in order, even if they seem redundant to what you have already tried (steps 1 and 2 each should result in a message coming to your BB...please wait for that before proceeding to the next step):
    1) Register HRT
    KB00510 How to register a BlackBerry smartphone with the wireless network
    Please wait for one "registration" message to arrive to your Messages app
    2) Resend Service Books
    KB02830 Send the service books for the BlackBerry Internet Service
    Please wait for "Activation" Messages, one per already configured email account, to arrive in your Messages. If you have no already configured email accounts, please wait 1 hour.
    3) Batt Pull Reboot
    With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes. See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure.
    Hopefully that will get things going again for you! If not, then you should contact your mobile service provider for formal support.
    Good luck!

    Did you try a reset, hold the power button and home button until you see the apple then let go? Did you try to restore as new in iTunes on your computer?

  • "I have pages 5.1 but when I try to open a page on my desk top.. a message comes up - You need a newer version of pages to open this document.  How do I set my computer to open a page?"

    "I have Pages 5.1 but when I try to open a page on my desk top.. a message comes up - You need a newer version of pages to open this document.  How do I set my computer to open a page on my desktop?"

    You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
    Pages 5 is in your Applications folder.
    Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
    You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
    Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
    Pages 5 can not open Pages 5.1 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
    Anything that is saved to iCloud is also converted to Pages 5 files.
    All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
    Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
    Note: Apple has removed over 90 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

    Archive/trash Pages 5, after exporting all Pages 5 files to Pages '09 or Word .docx, and rate/review it in the App Store, then get back to work.

  • I recently upgraded to iOS 7.0.  When I open Safari to a blank page, a small "Settings" icon appears against the white background.  When I click on it, it opens  a link to a web page that is not among my other bookmarks.  How can I get rid of it?

    Leliforever, cheek you list of installed add-ons, the Ask toolbar can be installed without the users knowledge.
    For checking other extensions that may cause this, follow the procedure in this link - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes

  • Why when I export photos from I photo to the desk top , and then to a CD they end up as alis  and some are not really there?

    Why when I export photos from I photo to the desk top , and then to a CD they end up as alis  and some are not really there?

    Why? Because of something you are doing wrong - however unless you actually tell us what you are doing - and what version of iPhoto you have - and any other detail that might help no one can even gess.
    Exactly how are you exporting? Are the photos successfully exported to the desktop? How are you moving to the CD? why do you think they are not there?

  • How do I add a whitelist on AirPort Utility to connect a Kindle Fire?

    All of a sudden my daughter's Kindle Fire says it has no wireless connection even though I have the name and password entered correctly. Is this some type of update on the Kindle side? The Kindle tells me (when I tap on the connected wifi name for my computer) signal strength is excellent, status is connected, shows my security with a WPA and additional codes. I have been reading that there is a whitelist I can add devices too but am so illiterate on my MAC that I cannot find it or where to go...my apologies. What do I/ should I do? I am confused as to why I see the Kindle and my computer are connected to wifi but then I receive an error message. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated!

    There isn't a whitelist, per se, on the AirPort routers. Instead there is a means to prevent a wireless device from accessing the AirPort by its hardware MAC address. Unless you have enabled this feature, via the AirPort Utility, all wireless devices should be able to connect.
    One area to look at as a possible cause, is the Network Name (aka SSID) that you are using for your AirPort's Wi-Fi network. If it contains special characters or spaces, you may want to consider changing it to something that has neither to see if this helps.

    I want to add a Kindle Fire as a tablet device.  Is there anyway to get this done?

    What do you mean by "could not just be connected to VZW? It certainly appears that is one of the options.

  • Adobe Connect on Kindle Fire HD

    We would like to use adobe connect on a Kindle Fire HD. All is well, apart from allowing drawing/writing tools - can this be done?
    I have found this information, but it doesn't really give me a definitive answer:
    Mobile
    Apple supported devices: iPhone 5, iPhone 4S, iPad with Retina display, iPad 3, iPad 2, iPad mini, and iPod touch (4th & 5th generations)
    Apple supported OS versions summary: iOS 5 and higher

    Android supported OS versions summary: 2.3.4 and higher

  • I cannot connect my Kindle Fire to the network. It looks for the IP address and says Cannot connect. Try again. On my iPad I see that a new client is on the network but just for the time of not finding the IP address. Any suggestion? Thank you.

    The Kindle Fire finds my Wi-Fi network but cannot obtain an IP address. My iPad AirPort is telling me that a new client is on the network until the Kindle Fire says Cannot connect Try again Any suggestion? Thank you

    Any chance the wifi network you're trying to connect to has had its access password changed? If so, do you have the correct password?
    Can you 'rub' the wifi antenna on the iPad? That might help. I've done this with my iPod Touch and it helped restore the device's ability to connect.
    Is it possible to power cycle the wifi router you're trying to connect to?
    If worse comes to worse, can you 'reset' the iPad?  You could do this, but I'd maybe suggest it as only a last resort.
    I think you can also go into the wifi settings and 'delete' that wifi network and then re-connect to it.
    Good luck with it.
