Why does my DSL stop working when I plug it into my filter?

This is really annoying. I was having problems with my phone/dsl connection and verizon sent me a filter. Great! I've been using the filter for a while now and the first problem was when I plugged in the filter then the dsl and phone the internet wa very slow. If we tried to watch a youtube video while the filter was plugged in it would be painfully slow!
Now the DSL wont work at all! The little green light disappears in the internet section whenever i plug the dsl into the filter. I work online and need both the phone and internet to work at the same time. Any ideas what to do?

That would be a filter, yes. Didn't know Verizon handed out phone/DSL wall split filters. I would honestly take a look at the physical jack it is connected to for corrosion or lose connections as I doubt the filter is bad out of the box. Anyways, what was the original problem you had with the Phone and DSL that prompted Verizon to send out a filter?

  • Why does AirPort Extreme stop working when I plug in a USB hard drive?

    Why does Airport Extreme stop working when I plug in a USB hard drive?  The USB drive has its own power supply.  I've tried isolating the hard drive from Airport using a powered USB hub to no avail.

    The USB port on the AirPort Extreme is borderline as far as its ability to supply adequate power to a hard drive. Another way of saying the same thing is that this is not a high power USB port, like you would find on a computer.
    Your 2TB drive likely requires a bit more current than the USB port on the AirPort Extreme can supply. It is also possible that the drive's firmware may not support a network USB connection....only a "local" connection to a computer. Check with Seagate support on that possibility.
    Try using a powered USB hub with the 2TB drive....and make sure that the drive is formatted correctly in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) or FAT32....which the AirPort Extreme USB port can accept.

  • Why does my MacBook stop working when I tr to plug in my iPad to do some file syncing?

    Why does my MacBook stop working when I try to plug in my iPad to do some file syncing? This is the second time I have had it happen to my MacBook. The computer just shuts down and cannot be restarted. When I plug it into the charger I get a faint Green light where it plugs into the MacBook. When I took the computer into my local Mac store last time this happened (Nov 2012) they reckoned they couldn't find anything wrong with it. Has any body else encountered a similar issue?

  • Why does comments.vi stop working when server directory changes?

    With web server root directory set to "C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 8.2\www",
    I point my browser to "http://localhost/cgi-bin/examples/comments.vi" and I get the comment form.
    Next, I quit the G Web Server, set the server root to "c:\ats\www",
    I copy the comments.vi and comments.llb files to c:\ats\www\cgi-bin and point my browser to http://localhost/cgi-bin/comments.vi.  Instead of showing the form as before, I get a dialog box prompting me to either "Open with..." or "Save to disk".  I'm using Firefox.  Why does this happen?  Is there a configuration that I must set up to get the G Web Server to work at other than the default location?

    kc64,
    To your browser, you're looking at a website (served on localhost in this case) and pointing to a specific file (in this case a VI).  Just as if you point your browser to an address of the form www.website.com/file.pdf it will ask you what you want to do with the file--open or save it.  In this dialog box, you should have the option to automatically do what you select for the file type from now on.
    The dialog box itself has nothing to do with changing your server root, it has to do with what your browser is configured (or not configured) to do with the VI file type.  As for why this didn't happen the first time and it's prompting you now, maybe the action got changed for the VI file type.  This can be configured in Firefox by going to the content tab of tools->options.

  • Why does my itunes stop working when I import a file?

    I can now only start iTunes in safe mode, and if I import a file, it stops working.  Help/

    iTunes is not fully functional when operating in Safe Mode, so its possible that the component that supports Audible content is not running.  If iTunes will only run in Safe Mode then there's an issue with your installation - see Turingtest2's tutorial Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates, in particular the section on removing all components of iTunes before installing the latest version.
    I have Audible .aa files on a 2nd gen iPod Nano so there shouldn't be an issue with age ...

  • Why does my keyboard stop working when I get a new Facebook message?

    Whenever I get a new message on Facebook chat, my keyboard stops working on all Firefox tabs. If I switch tabs or close and open the chat it starts working again. It's definitely not a problem with the keyboard, I've had no problems typing in Notepad while messages come in on the chat.

  • Why does my printer not work when i plug in the internet? (ethernet)

    hey guys,
    i have the Mac connected to a large digital printer via the ethernet connection. works fine, no problems untill i plug in the internet. I get an error message in my software and can't print any jobs, but the internet works fine.
    I have a feeling that its a network problem, but don't want to mess around too much with the settings.
    This is a company internet connection.
    if anyone could advise of the possible network settings, I would be very greatful.
    thanks again.

    Your Mac sends traffic to the interface at the top of the list in
    System Preferences > Network
    When you plug in the second Ethernet, that Interface jumps to the top of the list and all traffic goes there.
    The solution is to cable that Printer to your Router, not to your Mac.
    Alternatively, you could add a small Switch and connect your Mac and the printer to it.
    If you really want to you can use Internet Sharing to add the Ethernet port going to the Printer to the Network connacted to the Internet.

  • Why does my iPhone repeatedly beep when i plug it into my macbook

    My phone is repeatdly every 5 seconds making the noise that it makes when you plug your phone into a charger, my phone keeps beeping every time i try to hook it up to itunes on my macbook... has anyone else had this issue?!

    Hey there lilcarusox3,
    It sounds like your phone is acting like you are unplugging it and re plugging it when you connect it to your Macbook. Thats an odd issue, lets see what we can do here. I would start by using the USB troubleshooting from the following article for iOS devices:
    iOS: Troubleshooting USB-related alerts when syncing
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5254?viewlocale=en_US
    See if the cable connection at the device or computer has come loose or unplugged.
    Unplug the cable you're using to connect your iOS device from the USB port on your computer, and then reconnect it. Then unplug it from your iOS device, and reconnect it.
    Remove any third-party battery packs or cases from the device and ensure that the USB cable is connected directly to the port on the device.
    If your Lightning or 30-pin cable is connected to a keyboard, display or USB hub, try plugging it directly into a USB port on the computer instead.
    Close any virtualization apps (such as Parallels or VMWare).
    These apps may interfere with your computer's ability to communicate over USB if they aren't properly configured, or up to date. If this resolves the issue, contact the developer of the app to see if an update is available.
    Restart your computer.
    Restart your iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch.
    If you're using an accessory or third-party cable to connect your device, try using an Apple cable with the device instead.
    Update to the latest version of iTunes if you have not already.
    Disconnect other USB devices from your computer, except for your keyboard and mouse. Then, reconnect your iOS device. If the issue is resolved, reconnect the other USB devices one at a time. Make sure your iOS device is still recognized by the computer after adding back each device.
    If one of these steps resolves the issue, but it comes back later, make sure you haven't changed how the device is connected. For example, check to see if you plugged the device into a specific accessory, or used a specific cable that reintroduced the issue.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Sterling

  • Why does iTunes Store stop working when I try to view a certain category?

    When I go to the iTunes store, I try to browse through the different apps. For example, I will click on "Entertainment" then on "Top Free Apps" then it will show a blank screen then my computer will say iTunes is not responding and shuts off. What can I do to fix this issue?

    You don't have the typical symptoms that I associate the following issue with (normally the error kicks in just when folks visit the Store), but just in case try gn_id's suggestion from the following post:
    Re: iTunes 11 crashes when opening the store - no error message

  • Why does my speaker stop working when my Ipod gets hot?

    It is the 3rd generation.

    Probably because you have a hardware problem. To rule out a softwre problem try:
    - Reset:
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore the iPod from backup
    - Restore the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod
    If still problem, an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Why does the clone stamp work when I go from a darker colour to a lighter colour but not the other way around. How can I lighten up a dark area? Lasso tool takes from the wrong area too.

    Why do you use the Blend Modes Lighter and Darker at all in this case and not simply Normal?
    And what kept you from posting a screenshot?
    I borrowed the image below for an HDR workshop I ran at the 2010 PSNZ National Convention, to demonstrate a method of removing halos.  You'll remember that halos were a serious problem with early HDR, and while the halos in this image were caused by over sharpening, they are perfect for demonstrating this technique.
    It relies on the fact that halos so often tend to put a lighter tone between the two areas where sharpening is being applied. Whether that is the sky abutting a dark line of hills, or the rock and little tower as in this image.  I've uploaded it at the size it was supplied to me at (about 2700 pixels wide).  So
    Click to open the full image, right click and copy, and paste into Photoshop.
    Select the clone tool, and set its blend mode to Darken.
    Try to sample on a line horizontal to where you want to clone, to give the best tonal match, and start cloning.
    Because the sky is darker than the halo, it overwrites it. But the rock is darker than the sky, so it has no affect.
    It works even better if you clone on a new layer also set to Darken.  No masking, just Photoshop blend mode magic.
    You can also fix the little tower. Use a great big brush — just remember to sample horizontal to match the horizon.
    Back then I was using the same trick with CAs after forgetting to fix them in ACR, and having done too much work to start again after spotting the problem.
