Wi-Fi Connection Issues with 2 PC's and MacBook Pro on Router

Okay so here is whats going on.....
I am staying with my Mom for a short period of time. She uses Xfinity from Comcast. They provide her with a residential Home Gateway which provides her the internet and the Wi-Fi signal.
My Partner is also staying with us.
My Mom owns two PCs one runs Windows 8 and runs Windows 7 Home Premium. My Partner also runs a PC which is running Windows 7 Professional.
I have a Macbook Pro Retina Display Early 2013 release. Intel Core i5 2.6 GHz. 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3.
Well oddly enough I can access the internet just fine, I am right now as a matter fact. The issue is that if my partner boots up her PC her wi fi somehow kicks everyone off the internet and she cannot connect to the internet herself.
I do not know if its my settings in my MacBook Pro causing the issues or if something is wrong on her PC or my Mom's. Either way its extremely annoying. We all need to be on the internet at the same time so constantly being booted *****!
I checked and I have no new system updates available. I am currently running Mac OSX 10.9 (13A603).
The router has been power-cycled and we have done a reset on it. Its an Arris TG862 I believe. There is only one other wi fi network in the neighborhood as we are in a retirees community so chances of anything weird or someone using our wi fi is unlikely. Unless some old person is super tech savvy and bored. he he maybe tho lol.

When you say check hers to make sure it's not set to static IP whose are u referring to?? Mom's or my Partners?
And under what setting do I go to for the DHCP scope?? Advanced? What should I set it to?

WRT400N connection issues with iPod Touch and MacBook

I'm a newbie, so please bear with me.
I recently upgraded to the WRT400N from a Linksys BEFW11S4.
Since the change, the connection to iPod Touches and MacBooks at the house have been shaky at best. The connection frequently drops out completely on the iPod Touch even if it's right next to the router.
I've tried resetting the router, changing settings on the iTouch and MacBooks, but the problem persists. I don't want to mess with the router settings as I'm not experienced in that area.
Can anyone please help me?
Thank you.

You can try the below mentioned settings.
Open an Internet Explorer browser page on your wired computer(desktop).In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1 and press Enter...Leave Username blank & in Password use admin in lower case...
On the set-up tab change the MTU Size to 1365 and click Save Settings...
Once you return to the set up page click on the Security tab and uncheck Block Anonymous Internet Requests and click on Save Settings...
Click on Advanced Wireless Settings
Change the Beacon Interval to 75 >>Change the Fragmentation Threshold to 2304 Change the RTS Threshold to 2307 >>Click on "Save Settings"...
Now see if you can locate your Wireless Network and attempt to connect...
This should fix the issue for you.

Delay issue with mighty mouse and macbook pro. help?

Connected but delayed in movement. I am connected to an HD tv via HDMI and only a delay issue on the tv monitor. The mouse responds as normal on the laptop screen if I have it open, but on the TV it is delayed. Any clue as to what might be wrong? I am running HDMI to a converter for the mini display port and have seen it work many times with no delay. I have changed the batteries and reconnected/restarted the computer and the mouse numerous times.

Hey there, I'm on the forums because I can't get my wireless mouse to connect to my new MacBook Pro either (just got it yesterday). Bluetooth Device Manager seems to "see" it when it searches, but insists it can't connect to it, saying either "device not found" (which is ridiculous, since it's right up there in the list) or "cannot find the necessary services." Yet I cannot find anything definitive on the tubes to say that the two don't work together. Anyone else have any ideas for us??
I should mention I changed the batteries b/c at first I thought that's all it was. When it didn't work I brought it to a 2009 MacBook Pro, and that one connected no problem ::shaking head::

Calibration issues with 23" display and Macbook Pro 13".

Hi All,
I'm a photographer and link my Macbook Pro to a 23" display in order to edit my work.
I have calibrated both displays with a gretagmacbeth eye-one display 2, however, despite this, when I move images between screens they change considerably, most noticeably the values of reds. I appreciate the laptop display is never going to be as bright as the stand alone, but am I asking too much for the colours to be the same?
I look forward to receiving any suggestions from those who've had similar experience, or those who are experts in the this field.
Thank you in advance!

Hi!
Well for me theres 2 types of click,
1. one when u click and sounds (this one is pressing harder the trackpad)
2. another is softer when just need to put ur finger over the trackpad.
i use more the second one, thats why i say i rarely use the first one.
Thanks for answering

Having start-up issues with my 1st gen Macbook Pro

Hi everyone. I just started having start-up issues with my first generation Macbook Pro. It was working fine the other day when I last used it, but today I went to use it and it wont load up to my desktop...? It starts up (grey screen with the little swirly bar under the apple,) then it goes to a blue screen, then my background and dock appear, then (before any of my desktop files even show up,) it goes to a blue screen (that brightens up and then dims a little,) and it just keeps showing this with a little swirly progress symbol (shows when the screen is darker blue, then disappears when the screen is a brighter blue.) I've included a video that I took with my iPhone to show it situation. Any ideas as to what's wrong with it? Thanks in advance!

Safe Boot by restarting your computer while holding down the "shift" key. Safe booting disables all nonessential processes, often times allowing you to start up when you would otherwise crash.
As of OS X 10.5.6 Safe Boot deletes the dynamic loader shared cache location in the /var/db/dyld directory. A corrupt cache here can cause the blue screen crash. Once you restart normally, the cache will be recreated. This should take care of the issue.

Issues with Office 2010 and Acrobat Pro 8

Good Day All;
We are in the middle of upgrading from Windows XP to Windows 7 with Office 2010 and I was wondering if there are any issues with importing Office documents into Acrobat Pro 8. I have found out that there are a couple of issue with Office 201 and LifeCycle Designer.
Any comments would be helpful
Regards
Chomp

Acrobat 8 is not compatible with Microsoft Office 2010 and the PDFMaker plugins will not install. Only Acrobat X is compatible with Office 2010, and at this time only in 32-bit mode.
Acrobat 8 is also not officially compatible with Windows 7, again Acrobat X is the first version to carry approval for that OS. It will still install, but Adobe cannot guarantee it will operate perfectly in all cases, and doesn't provide install support for that combination.

Integrating new ext HD with Time Capsule and MacBook pro

I just purchased a 4 TB Seagate Backup Plus that I’m looking to integrate with my mid-2009 MacBook Pro and 2 TB Time Capsule that I’m currently using to store my iTunes library (I know, bad move, one of the reasons for the new Seagate) and run my Time Machine backups. If I can use the TC only as an external HD and backup with Time Machine to the new Seagate I’m willing to do that. If I can’t, I understand the limitations of the larger capacity Seagate with the smaller TC. Probably won’t top 2 TB for a while so I’ll cross that > 2 TB of info bridge when I get to it and need a larger drive for Time Machine backups
The current plan is to move the iTunes library to the Seagate along with the new, and ever growing Aperture library (currently on the MB) while backing up both the MacBook and Seagate to the Time Capsule; unless I can switch them and use the TC as an ext HD and the Seagate for backups. How do I go about doing this? How do I answer the “Do you want to use this new drive with Time Machine” prompt being that I’m currently not planning on backing up to the Seagate but want to backup the Seagate up to the TC? Do I need to reformat the Seagate disc? Still figuring out how I want to configure the Aperture (which I’m still learning) library but I’d like to keep the mobility advantage of the laptop and use the internal HD for a working library and move the post-processed images to the Seagate for archival. I’ll be checking on the Aperture forum.
Thanks for any help to this incredibly newbie type question. There’s usually a similar, but not exact, answer to my questions on forums or the threads are a few years old, so figured it would be faster and more accurate to just ask.

I just purchased a 4 TB Seagate Backup Plus... If I can use the TC only as an external HD and backup with Time Machine to the new Seagate I’m willing to do that.
The Seagate Backup Plus portable drives are Time Machine compatible so you shouldn't have any issues backing up your MacBook Pro to this drive. You also shouldn't have any issues using the TC as an "external HD" if you actually meant "network" drive. That is, it will still be available on the network as a storage device.
The current plan is to move the iTunes library to the Seagate along with the new, and ever growing Aperture library (currently on the MB)...
That shouldn't be a problem.
...while backing up both the MacBook and Seagate to the Time Capsule
Backing up the MacBook Pro using Time Machine will not be an issue, but you will not be able to use Time Machine to back up the Time Capsule to the Seagate. It may still be possible to use some other back up solution for this.
How do I answer the “Do you want to use this new drive with Time Machine” prompt being that I’m currently not planning on backing up to the Seagate but want to backup the Seagate up to the TC?
At this point, just answer "No." You can always choose the Seagate as a Time Machine destination later via the Time Machine interface. Again, you CANNOT back up the Time Capsule to the Seagate with Time Machine.
Do I need to reformat the Seagate disc?
If you got the Mac version of this Seagate drive it is already properly formatted. However, if you got the PC version, you will need to reformat it for HFS+ in order for the TC to share it out properly. That means you will need to temporarily connect it to your Mac, via USB, and then, use the Disk Utility to format it.

Photoshop text issue with OSX Mavericks on Macbook Pro

I have a frustrating problem with Photoshop on my Macbook Pro. I can enter text without any problem, but the minute I try to edit it, resize, change font or colour it totallt dissappears and the layer name revers to 'layer x" (whatever number it is). This problem has appeared since the upgrade to OSX Mavericks, but only on my Macbook Pro...it does not happen on my 27" iMac which is running the same OS.
I have totally uninstalled all my CC Apps on the Mackbook Pro, reinstalled Photoshop CC, same problem.
I uninstalled CC again, and reinstalled Photoshop CS6, same problem.
this is despite having run the software without problem previously.
The Macbook Pro is a early 2010 model, has only 256 graphics...so cant run the 3D option of CC,but it has 8gig ram...the only difference between the Macbook Pro and iMac in terms of spec is the different graphics card size. (iMac is late 2012 newer version)
The problem is I am a teacher and the Mackbook is my teaching laptop...and I teach digital photography...so I have to have Photoshop up and running.
Any sugguestons...other than a total clean reinstall of the entire computer which would be a total pain and extremely time consuming.

Turned off the dictation feature and it seems to work with CS6 which I had installed....I'll try puting CC back on and see what happens.

Bluetooth not working with car audio and macbook pro ret

I use Iphone 5 and macbook pro ret with 10.8.2. but I cant pair it via Bluetooth with any other item (Mercedes Comand). Not even with the Mac. very unhelpfull with a new phone and new apple macbook. what can help

iPhones have NEVER paired with laptops except for the sole purpose of tethering. Have you read your Mercedes operating manual and made sure the Command is in pairing mode?

Anyone noted Bluetooth connection issues with iPhone 4s and Ford sync?

My wifes iPhone 4 with IOS 5.0.1 auto connects to Ford Sync at least 75% of the time on first attempt. My new iPhone 4S with IOS 5.0.1 takes 4-5 attempts and rarely if ever connects without multiple attempts. Any one else seeing issues with failed Bluetooth connections with iPhone 4S phones?

Look at the right panel for links to other threads concerning problems with Fords. And it's not just Fords, cars in general. No solutions seem to be given.

TCP Connection Issues with OPC Server and GE Versamax

Hi there,
I have an installation of Lookout 6.0 coupled with the OPC Inductrial Automation servers. In my application, we are running two instances of the GE Versamaz Ethernet driver to communicate with two remote (over the internet) GE Fanuc Versamax PLCS.
Every few days, the two PLCs lose connectivity. It does not appear to be a LAN connectivity issue as I can still log into the PLCs using the GE software. To fix the issue, the Lookout software must be restarted.
Has this been seen by anybody else? This poses a significant problem as lookout is used to monitor the PLCS at sewage stations - each time the connections are lost we have to deploy technicians to the sites to ensure all is working.
-andrew

Hello Andrew,
When the connection is terminated are you getting any errors or alarms? If so what are they? Also you can try to replace the object that is connected to the PLC and make sure it has the correct settings. It may also be due intermittent networking issues, losing connection and not able to connect with the object again unless Lookout is restarted again. I have not heard about any such networking issues. The attached document can be used for reference.
Regards,
RMM

Connectivity issue with iPhone 3GS and Time capsule 7.6.1

I've upgraded the firmware of my Time Capsule. Now i have WiFi connectivity problems with my iPhone 3GS. My iMac and two iPads (version 1 & 2) are doing fine.
Very strange in this situation is when I at a rare moments are able to connect my iphone to the wifi my iPad2 connection falls out. But after a minute or 2 the system disconnects my iphone and reconnect my ipad.
For info: I'm using an iMac 27" 3.4 Intel Core i7 with Mac OS 10.7.3 - all software is updated.
Thanks for reaction
Stephan

The iphone is very sensitive to channel selection..
Open the airport utility manual settings.. Go to the wireless.. change its name to something simple without spaces.. TC24 would do nicely.
Set the wireless to b/g a/n so it works with everything .. not auto.
And set the channels manually.. 2.4ghz (which iphone uses) set channel to either 1, 6, 11.. these are the only channels that do not overlap..
Try and see if the iphone connects..
Set security.. WPA2 personal and put in a suitable key.. pure alphanumeric no spaces.

Having issues with PC gaming and my Linksys AC1900 router! (What settings should I be using?)

Well I recently purchased a linksys AC1900 for a better/faster connection with my internet. Sadly, I have been having issues with online gaming. I am attempting to play a blizzard game (Diablo 3) but its not letting my connect. I did a direct wired connection and it worked just perfect. However, I dont want to play in my garage...lol. Does anyone have any ideas what settings I should be using? It lets me connect to battlenet but when my character loads into the world I get disconnected. I tried opening ports, shutting off uPnP, and various other things. Is the the router or is it me? Someone please help!

I got confused with your response. If you are still having the same challenge, make sure you have enough speed to play any online game. You may also try to reboot your PC and the router. If the result is the same, check if the firmware is up to date. You may try to manually update it on the Linksys Smart WiFi page. Here's how. Once accomplished, reset, reboot, and reconfigure the router. I hope this helps!

Firewall Issue with 1.5 and 2Wire 2701HG-B router/modem

I've set up holes in my router's firewall so that I can reach my G5 via ssh/ftp/http. And I am able to reach the G5 from computers outside the firewall by connecting to the router's IP address. But if I try to connect to that same IP address -- ssh/ftp/http -- from either of the two computers that are behind the firewall, including the G5, the connection fails.
This setup worked prior to upgrading to 10.5 last week but I'm not sure if this is an issue with my 10.5 (DNS?) or and issue with the 2Wire router/modem. I called 2Wire but they didn't have any suggestions.
