Why does the Wi-Fi work on my iPod and not my Macbook?

The router is an arms length away and my Ipod#4 works great. but I cannot get my Macbook to get connected. Whats up?

Does the iPod connect to other networks?
Does the iPod see the network?
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
- Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
- 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.

Where do you get this problem?
Is this with the spell checking dictionary or with the language setting?

Why does the tab button in Safari close safari and not open a new tab?

Why does the tab button in Safari close Safari and not open a new tab?

Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the reset.

Why does the Time Capsule of my neighbour appears and not mine?

Why does the The Time Capsule of my neighbour appears and not mine? I tried everything.
Can I use the Capsule as merely a back up without making use of Wifi? By connecting by cable to the computer?

What generation is your neighbour's and what generation is yours??
Sometimes the changes in the TC and firmware can make wireless fail.. also location is important.. the location of your neighbours might be better than yours.. his also might interfere with yours.. set a fixed channel and try the various channels.

Sure, but you need to work out how the network is going to work.. if you are still picking up network from wireless.. then set static ip for the TC in a different IP range.. set no gateway (router ip) or dns and it will work just fine.

Why does the flash player work on some website but not others??

I am at my wits ends right now and I dont know what to do. Can any one help me please

I had the same issue when I had created Flash Paper items. I had found the a solution on my opinion.
http://www.eolsoft.com/freeware/flash_movie_player/
you actually need a Flash Movie Player and not Flash Player. they are different. the only issue is that Adobe does not support this anymore.
so what I did is placed the EXE file of Flash Movie Player found on the link above on my server, made a note to my viewers that Flash Movie Player is required to view the documents.
I found this solutlion when my boss asked why he could not view any of the Flash Paper Documents

Why does the Firefox icon on my desktop read1788 and not Mozilla?

Recently the Mozilla icon on my desktop changed from reading Mozilla to 1788 (the writing right under blue the Mozilla Firefox symbol) . Is this something Mozilla has done or is there an issue I need to resolve and if so how to I resolve this issue?
Also are there any free virus protection, that work with Mozilla?
Thank you in advance for any help you can give me in this matter.

No, the desktop shortcut hasn't been renamed. First, make sure it's really pointing to Firefox and not something else:
1. Right-click the icon and choose Properties.
 2. In the Properties window, click the Shortcut tab.
 3. Make sure the Target field says 
"C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe"
4. If it does, then click the General tab.
 5. In the text box at the top, enter the name you want for the shortcut.
 6. Click the OK button when done.
I take it you're having problems with the avast! Online Security add-on, which is why you have it disabled? Any add-on that scans every link on every page is bound to add a delay to loading time. If you're having more severe issues, you can ask for help on the Avast forum:

That add-on isn't required for virus and malware protection. Here are some alternatives to the features it provides:

Why does the new dvd superdrive keep returning disk and not reading it

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Return it and get another one. The Apple USB SuperDrive sometimes doesn't work correctly, and other external disc drives work

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.

Why does the iphone 4 work only intermittently with the Sony HCB150 speakerphone?

Why does the iphone 4 work only intermittently with the Sony HCB150 speakerphone?

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.
If the issue persists, take the device to Apple for further assistance.

Hi. Because the forum you originally posted in is for beginners trying to learn the basics of Photoshop, I moved your question to the Photoshop General Discussion forum.

Agreed. Even the iPhone has multiple built-in keyboards to choose from.

Why does the same song apear as $0.99 and $1.29?

Why does the same song appear more than once and costs either $0.99 or $1.29?

Sometimes the exact same song will have two different prices when it appears on two different albums.
For one of many examples, "Concrete Angel" is 99 cents when it's on "Greatest Hits":
http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/greatest-hits/id256344266
But it is $1.29 when it is on the album "Hits and More":
http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/hits-and-more/id492676107
The reason is not obvious, but feel free to buy the cheaper one.

Does the Math.Random() work differently in Firefox and Safari??

Hello,
I was wondering if anyone can help me with a problem I'm
running into using the math.random(). I'm using Flash CS3 and
created a very simple script to select random frames in a simple
movie. It works as expected in the CS3 environment and in Safari
but it doesn't work correctly in Firefox or in the DotNetNuke
module I am using. Here is the code:
i = Math.ceil(Math.random() * 3);
gotoAndPlay("Image"+i);
I would appreciate any help you can provide.

Thanks for following up with me. Yes. When I test the movie
its works fine in Safari but not in Firefox and I don't have a clue
as to why. I hope that you can shed some light on this for me.
Thanks.

Why does the "find my iphone" ap say i'm not connected to the internet when i clearly am?

I can see web pages, update facebook status, tweet, etc. but this ap says i'm not connected to the internet (wifi and Verizon LTE). Also, why does the podcast ap say its unable to authorize to automatically update my podcasts (which automatically download to my mac book pro every day without a problem)?

Go here:
Settings > iTunes & App Stores > tap your Apple ID: > View Apple ID > Country/Region
and confirm that it's set to the correct country for your account. If it is, try signing out of your account and back in.
Hope this helps.
