After get a MAC, to stay connected to the internet at university have being a challenge. We have lots of AP with the same name and my computer keeps reconnecting to a different one. I can't changes the network preferences to a specific network name.

Hello Sir Gudo,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with your external hard drive.  I found an article with steps you can take when an external device is not being recognized.
I recommend following the steps in the section titled "Top troubleshooting tips" in the following article:

  • HT204387 Can anyone speak to why Apple will not allow iPhones to connect to Bluetooth enabled OBD-II readers for car diagnostics?

    Hi! I have been reading up on Bluetooth OBD-II readers that plug into the onboard diagnostic port of your car and connect to apps like Torque. However, the readers cannot connect to iStuff (iPhones, etc.) because Apple apparently does not support the necessary Bluetooth profile to enable this kind of connection. Does anyone know why? And, is there anyway we could change that? All Android phones connect no problem. Thanks!

    Apple doesn't share this information with us nor can we speculate about it.

    Recently upgraded Mac OS to 10.5.5 - have an older G4 which is max'd out upgrade-wise - both processor and OS. At present Safari is 3.1.2. Itunes is 9.2.1. Itunes will not allow me to connect to store - says it requires Safari 4.0.3 - however, when I try to download Safari 4.0.3 or newer it says it requires an older version of the OS. What to do?

    Update v10.5.5 to v10.5.8
    Download and install the  combo >  Mac OS X 10.5.8 Combo Update
    Then restart your Mac.
    That should update Safari for you to 5.0.6 and that should help with iTunes.
    If necessary, after updating to v10.5.8, you can use the standalone Safari installer here >  Safari 5.0.6 for Leopard

  • My Ipod touch ios version 6.1.3 will not allow me to connect to my wifi, Please help me!!

    My ipod touch ios version 6.1.3 will not allow me to connect to my wifi. I tried rebooting my wifi router, refreshing my ipod, resseting the networks and manually logging into my wifi. Sometimes it will go through for a brief moment, but the wifi connection will ultimately disconnect. Each time i try to connect to my wifi afterwards a small pop up will say "Unable to join the network". Please help. it's really annoying and frustrating.

    Thank you Carolyn Samit, but nothing is working.
    I've restored my ipod both to a backup and back to factory. I know the password is correct,
    the router is the newest version (and it's plugged in and on), my ipod is updated, i've turned my wifi settings on and off, i've turned the ipod off and on. No luck yet. I've been working on it for hours now. About ready to sleep on it...maybe some luck will find me tomorrow...
    Still in need of dire help.

    why can I not make a secure connection using safari?

    I have the exact same problem.  I just updated to 4.3.3 and now my inline controls on my earphones don't work.  The earphones work, but the controls don't.  It doesn't even recognize that there is a mic attached.  Even with the earphones in it still uses the built in mic. Why did my controls stop working?!

  • Why am I not allowed to activate my product, CS3, when the product is bought years ago and I still have the serial number? It's an old version, but I don't throw products in the bin, just because they are old.

    Why am I not allowed to activate my product, CS3, when the product is bought years ago and I still have the serial number? It's an old version, but I don't throw products in the bin, just because they are old.

    And what exactly is your problem? Other than going of on a tangent about Adobe's alleged evilness preventing you to activate whatever CS3 product, you have not provided any useful info such as what exact problem you have, what system, what product we are axctualyl talking about and so on.

  • Why can I not load pictures from a micro SD 64gb using scan disk adapter plugged into an Apple iPad camera connection kit.  I have the iPhoto app but pictures not being seen on iPad.  So incredibly frustrating.  Apple please fix this.

    Do you have a smaller capacity micro SD card to try? I seem to remember from past posts that users were having problems with cards larger than 32GB, however, Apple's page doesn't mention this.

  • When I try to use the Message feature on my iPad 2, to send a message to a friends iPhone (on iOS 5 too), why will it not allow me to send the message?

    Check to make sure you are not typing your message in the Subject line.  If you are, it won't let you send the message.  Cut and paste the message into the Message field and you should be all set.
    FYI, you can disable the Subject line from your messages in Settings/Messages.

    When i first put credit onto my i pod it worked fine then it kept coming up with that message, i went into the apple store today and it worked straight away and when i first tried to download apps at home it worked fine, then it stopped again and came up with the same message. i know its not the internet connection because i can connect ok to the internet on both the i pod and my laptop.

  • My I4 will not allow me to connect a bluetooth. It keeps giving a message the pair list is full. There are no list available to delete. How do I correct the issue?

    My I4 will not allow me to connect a bluetooth. It keeps giving a message the pair list is full. There are no list available to delete. How do I correct the issue?

    Check this article: iOS: Third-party Bluetooth headsets, headphones, and keyboards
    Unpairing a Bluetooth accessory from an iOS device
    If you've paired your iOS device with a Bluetooth accessory and no longer wish to use that accessory, you may unpair it. If you wish to leave the device paired, but route calls through a second, paired device, turn off the first device and then turn on the second device. Then in Settings > General > Bluetooth, tap on the device you wish to use.
    From the Home screen choose Settings > General > Bluetooth. If Bluetooth isn't on, turn it on.
    Choose a device and tap Unpair.
    Until you pair the Bluetooth accessory again, your iOS device won't route information through it.
    * Find information on which iOS versions and devices support which Bluetooth profiles. Not all Bluetooth stereo headphones include a mic. Only those with a mic and that support handsfree profile (HFP 1.5) can be used to make and receive calls.
