Wifi connection problem after installing new HDD

I have just replaced the hdd in my pavilion dv6-3032tx and for some reason I am now having trouble connecting to my home wifi internet connection. Unless i have the laptop right next to the router the computer is unable to connect. Any suggestions?

Hi mykey651,
Thank you for your query, I will do my utmost to assist you.
I grasp you have installed a SSD drive as the main drive and the original drive as a secondary. All works well until you reboot and then it is unable to locate the SSD.
Here is a link to HP Notebook Hard Drives & Solid State Drives Identifying, Preventing, Diagnosing and Recovering from...
If that has not helped, I suggest you go out to the bios and restore the defaults. This will reset the system and make it scan for installed hardware. This should help it to find the new SSD as the boot drive.
Here are two more documents that may be of help.

Problems after installing new HDD into Satellite M70-151

I have a Satellite M70-151 the hard drive gave up and was unreadable, prior to this I was using with my Desktop via a router it worked great. I had no option but to install a new Hard Drive now in the System Manager I get Yellow question marks against:
Other Devices:
? Mass Storage Controller
? Network Controller
? PCI Modem
? Video Controller (VGA compatable)
I have searched and searched but cannot find any drivers for these 4 things
I have sound but only faint, I no longer have a wireless capability Yes I have tried to install the correct (as advised from Toshiba) Lan Driver [LInk to driver|http://uk.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_driver_details.jsp?ID=58122&OSID=10&drive rLanguage=42&selectedLanguage=13&driverCountry=41& selectedCountry=8]
When I try to install it says "The device may not be present or could have been ejected/unplugged from the system.
Insert or Reinsert now"
I know I am being thick but I was under the impression that the Lan was built into the Notebook? :_|
I would be sincerely grateful for any advice from my Peers. :)

Hello Stuart
To be honest I really do not know what you do exactly. After HDD exchange, for me, the first step you should do is to make clean OS using delivered recovery media. It is fastest and best way to have fresh installed OS.
So, if you do not have this recovery media you must use original Microsoft installations CD. all drivers, tools and utilities for this notebook model you can find and download from Toshiba support page under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com > Support & Downloads.
Before you start drivers installation, please download and check Installations Instructions document. Please follow the installations order. It is very important and following this installations order you will be able to install all Toshiba stuff properly.

Clean install vs. time machine recovery after installing new HDD

Hello All,
I have got actually two questions, but I think I only can do one issue at the time. Anyway: Here are my specs and question:
1. I have got a 2010 MacBook Pro with a 320 Gb HDD which seems to be on its way to lala land (crashes almost once every quarter year)
2. I have backed up my Mac with TimeMachine to uptodate
3. I have created a boot disk and purchased a new 1 Tb HDD to be installed
4. I plan to install new HDD in a bit
So here is the question:
Shall I make a clean install of Mavericks (and if so, how do I get all my e-mail and other data onto the new HDD), or should I just go with the latest TimeMachine update?
(Also: If I partitioned the HDD and designate one only for apps and the other only for data, how would I do that?)
Any pointers would be greatly appreciated. ... thanks, theo

Thank you for your swift responce and help
So this solution would remove the "clutter" and restore performace?

T42 network connection problem after installing XP SP3

We have had problems with wireless connection after installing Windows XP SP3 on our T42 laptops.
To cut a long story short the solution was actually related to the driver for the wired ethernet card. With version 8.7.9.0 of the driver an ipconfig gave an error saying there was a hardware problem and new wireless connections could not be made without a wired connection being made first.
The solution was rolling back to driver version 7.2.17.101 at which point all the problems were resolved.
My question is what would be the pitfalls of rolling back to an older driver from 2004. In other words what is in the newer drivers that makes them 'better'. Will I now encounter a new set of problems?
Many thanks in advance for your support.

Anthony, welcome to the forum,
take a look at this thread, it may be what you are experiencing.

After installing new HDD, some iPhoto Events/Photos won't display

Problem: I upgraded to 1TB HDD a couple of days ago and tried to use the System Restore from Backup under Disk Utility. It never worked, got to a blue screen and just hung. So I reloaded Snow Leopard and then used Setup Assistant to move Apps/Files/Settings from my Time Machine Backup.
Today I was going through files to see if anything was missing and found a number of Events from 2010 that wouldn't display in iPhoto '08, just dark squares but with the event name underneath.
Rolling the mouse over the empty square displayed the correct number of photos for the event but photos wouldn't display.
Next I "Browsed" the Time Machine Backup (from iPhoto) and the same Events were also empty on Time Machine Backups.
The funny thing is the empty events are scattered meaning I have a full Events from Feb and March 2010 but empty events from Jan, Feb and May 2010. And then when I go into the Empty Events on Time Machine, I can call up the photo number but the photo won't display.
Is there a way to recover these photos? I'm pretty sure there on the TM backup and also on my new HDD.
As a "suspenders/belt" type person, I have the photos backed up on a Windows PC but rather work through this problem first.
iMac 20" 2.4 Ghz Mac OS X (10.6.4) AEBSn AXg

You can enter TM while in iPhoto and do a search for some of the missing photos by file name. When you find a version that appears to have them in exit TM, go to your Pictures folder, reenter TM, go to that version and restore the entire library. I'd keep both your current library and the restored. Then you can check to see if the missing photos are in the restored library.
If neither library have all of the photos but do combined you can use the paid version of iPhoto Library Manager to merge the two libraries into a new 3rd library setting the option to not import duplicates. That should get you a complete library.
OT
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier versions) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. There are versions that are compatible with iPhoto 5, 6, 7 and 8 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
NOTE: The new rebuild option in iPhoto 09 (v. 8.0.2), Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" makes this tip obsolete.

Permissions problems after installing new hard drive

I backed up my old hard drive with SuperDuper!, then installed a new hard drive. When I tried to install my backup on the new hard drive with Disk Utility, it would work fine and then hang. It wouldn't finish, even overnight. So I installed a clean copy of leopard on the new hard drive, and then used Migration Assistant to move everything over from my backup. Worked great, until I actually tried to use the computer. Tons of permissions issues, mail and address book wouldn't run, Skype won't run even after installing an upgraded version, etc. What's weird, is my main account is an administrator account, but logging on as root and trying to remove admin permissions from my main account, the checkbox is greyed out! I also don't have a UID 501 on the system. I'm 502, and my wife's account is 503. I can't fix permissions from the finder, and in certain cases can't get them changed in terminal logged in as root. I don't know how to get my data from my old hard drive (which is running 10.5.1) to my new hard drive (also 10.5.1) Please help me! Thanks.

Hey Shawn,
Have you looked at the permissions with "Get Info"? Are they listed as belonging to "unkown user"?
First of all, see the Apple doc <href="http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306876">Administator user changed to standard.
After you clear that up, you'll probably have to remove the "unkown user" and add your user as the owner of all your folders. During that process, finder will probably crash. At that point, try running <a href="http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5670342#5670342>this terminal command described in "mlaster's" second posting.
Good luck!

Exchange 2007 - Outlook Anywhere problems after installing new SSL cert

*** Original thread posted on wrong forum ***
Hi all,
Exchange 2007 environment (2x CAS, ISA2006). Not much familiar with Exchange.
Problem: 20-odd machines off the domain use Outlook Anywhere (XP with Outlook 2010). AUthentication pop-up and not able to connect.
Company has recently changed its name and we have to renewed the SSL cert. Previous SSL cert. was issued to: webmail.oldcompname.co.uk (several SANs on that cert., including internal server names).
Applied for a new UCC SSL cert issued to: newcompanyname.com (also includes webmail.newcompanyname.com ; autodiscover.newcompanyname.com + old SANs).
The setting on those machines point the proxy to the following:
Https://webmail.oldcompname.co.uk (which is fine since it is in the cert and can be accessed)
Only connect to proxy servers that have this principal name in their cert.:
msstd:webmail.oldcompname.co.uk (I believe this is the problem since the new UCC SSL cert. was issued to newcompanyname.com).
Browsing technet + internet it seems that I need to look into OutlookProvider EXPR.
When I run Get-OutlookProvider everything is blank (I believe I should be concerned to EXPR only for Outlook Anywhere).
I am thinking of running: Set-OutlookProvider -Identity EXPR -CertPrincipalName msstd:newcomanyname.com
My only concern is whether this might break something else in the Exchange environment, especially as we have 100+ users on smartphones connecting via SSL on webmail.oldcompname.co.uk
Is it save to run this command? Do I need to re-start IIS? Do I need to look into any settings on ISA2006?
Comments/help are much appreciated.
Regards

Hi,
According to the description, I found that we re-new a SSL certificate.
"I am thinking of running: Set-OutlookProvider -Identity EXPR -CertPrincipalName msstd:newcomanyname.com"
Just do it. Then remove the old certificate on ISA server and install a new one.
Found a similar thread for your reference:

Startup problems after instaling new graphics card drivers

PC: HP p6520 f with a 400 watt power supply
video card: AMD Radeon 6570 (MD1GD3)
After getting the 400 watt power supply, I was able to uninstall the intergrated graphics card's drivers, but I can't succsesfully startup after installing drivers for the new card without a system restore, which of course gets rid of the new drivers.
I've tried newer drivers, but those don't work either.
Any suggestions?

Hello Sev_07. I understand you're unable to install your video card drivers.
Are you receiving an error on boot?
Are you experiencing any issues with other pieces of hardware?
Have you tried running HP Support Assistant and Windows Update to ensure all of the software and drivers are completely up to date?
It may also be helpful for you to provide your product number so I can look at your computer's specifications. This document can show you where this is located.
I hope you have a great day!

HDD problem after installing new SSD

i bought a Kingstone SSD 60GB, and procced to a clean installation in my HP DV7-1020us laptop wich i love. All nice and good... i got out the HDD, install SSD in previously used HDD slot, install windows 7 on SSD partition, put the HDD in second hard drive bay that was it.
The problem is... after couples shuts down of my laptop (still working good), one time when i started, my laptop spent like 10-15 mins trying to start up the windows , ( i could hear my old HDD working hard) and after that i wanted to reach my HDD but i couldnt... i double click on the partition i want to open and my HDD starts working hard hard and in the end it says that i need to format it so i can acces it. My hdd haves 3 partitions... i runned disk checks and repairs and still doing the same. I finally formated all of it... all of my HDD partitions including the Recovery partition. My HDD works fine until i shut down my laptop for the first time after formating, then another 10-15 mins to start up and shut down the windows. Also if i connect my hdd via USB everything is fine ( if i previously format the HDD and connect it via USB). But if i move it back into my laptop in my sata slot things goes bad again. Also if i wait 10 mins at start up, get the hdd out and connect it via usb it still runs very ver very slow, and one partition asks me for formating. So i'm thinking that my second sata slot connection does something bad to my hdd.
I'm thinking that my second sata slot haves some problems... what should i do? I dont like my HDD working on my USB, it's a laptop, everything has to be integrated.
Oh and if i move my ssd from first sata slot to my second one, it says "please insert bootable device...."
Thank you, if u need more information please ask me

Problems after installing new version o iphone 3gs

I installed this evening the new version of my iphone 3gs and since then I cannot use my iphone nor reinitialise it beause it asks me to connect to itunes.When i connect it to the computer it say there is no pilot and doesnt manage to install a new pilot I telecharged the last version of itunes and reinstallated it, try again to reinstall the pilot but impossible to connect and I can't use my iphone
Help me please

A warm welcome Sabina!
i wonder if the issue is the new battery (can that cause a slow down
and malfunction of this sort).
Not too likely at all.
or if my HD is the problem.
Very likely, I would expect all Laptop HDs 4 or more years old to be failing by now.
i just read somewhere that whenever we do the updates we're supposed to do the permissions and i never knew to do that -- so i haven't ever done it. could that be the problem.
That and Verifying or Repairing the HD are sort of like looking both ways before you cross the street, neither may be necessary to cross the street, but it certainly can prevent problems during the crossing!
should i do a clean install of the system software and start from scratch.
I really think the Internal HD is on it's way out, but if you have a good/complete backup, actually a bootable clone on an external Firewire Drive is preferable... Best way to get an exact bootable copy of your old drive to the new one is with Carbon Copy Cloner...
http://www.bombich.com/software/ccc.html
thoughts would be appreciated. i don't have the money to take it anywhere to be fixed or to buy new -- so any help is greatly appreciated.
Without Money to replace the HD, you may be stuck booting off an external HD

Does any-one experience wifi connection problems after update to ios5?

Since the update to IOS5 I have to do all my internet seaches via 3G network, since my iphone 3gs does not pick up the router anymore. All other devices still work with wifi, so it's not the router itself. Only the iphone does not recognize/connect anymore to my router or any other wireless network (I tried at university network and open city networks as well....)
I thought the update to ios 5.0.1 would have solved this problem as well (since it is obviously software related...my wifi worked perfectly under ios4) but it seems things have not improved at all.
Any-one else with this problem, or a solution?
Jeroen
PS: yes, i have re-set the iphone and the network connections in my iphone already.....

Yes, after upgrading to 5.01 (I skipped 5.0) my iPhone 3G and iPad 1 have both lost the ability to connect to wi-fi networks even though they see them. I get a generic "unable to join the netwwork "name""). I have reset the devices, etc. This might explain why my iPhone battery life went from 2-3 days to less than a day now as the device is constantly trying to join my known networks but to no avail. No solution found yet. This is an Apple problem.

Problems after installing new memory stick

The problem that I have is this:
I have an iMac PPC G5 2.1 GHz 20" w/ built-in iSight which was purchased in April 2006. Last week I purchased a certified 1 GB stick of RAM from OWC. I installed the RAM per the instructions given in the owner's manual. I restarted my computer and the RAM was not recognized in "About This Mac", nor was it listed in the Apple System Profiler. I thought that maybe I hadn't seated the RAM properly, so I removed the stick and repeated the installation process. I called and spoke to a tech at OWC who walked me through resetting the PRAM and NVRAM. This was not successful in forcing the RAM to be recognized. I have returned the RAM to OWC and am expecting a replacement from them within the next week or two.
(As a side note, after each repeat of the process, the computer would not shutdown as quickly as it had been since I purchased it. I waited for one minute and then forced a shutdown via hoding the power button in. I made two attempts at a clean install of the OS. Both times there was an error at the very beginning of the install process that would not allow it to continue and required a restart). I am highly concerned about the shutdown issue and the inability to re-install the OS.
Has anybody had or heard of an issue like the one that I have just decribed?
iMac G5 20" iSight Mac OS X (10.4.7) w/ Bluetooth keyboard & mouse

I completed the Disk Warrior rebuild but it did not solve my problem. It has even added a new problem. Now the "Starting Mac OS X..." progress bar that runs prior to the appearance of the desktop image is still on my screen after the desktop image is loaded. It is starting to look like I need a fresh install of the OS, but I can't do that either. Somebody please help!!! I am glad that I bought the AppleCare protection.
I am going to give the "fsck" thing a try before I give up.

Problem after installing new AMD FX-4170 processor

Hello,
i just installed AMD FX-4170 on my MSI 890GXM-G65 mainboard. Then, when i start my computer, everything seems to be fine, all fans are working, those 4 proc. power LEDs are shining, everything is powered. But i get no signal to my monitor, cant get to BIOS, keyboard not working, nothing. I tried two different graphic cards, even that integrated one (not sure if it would work, when disabled in BIOS) nothing changed.
Same problem is when i place back the old Phenom processor. Black screen, from time to time No signal message on my monitor.
I have the lates BIOS 1.d.
Any suggestion?
Or am I screwed and have to buy new maiboard, because this one is somehow damaged?

clear CMOS helped. Computer is not very stable, second SSD disk (F: )(not the one with system) keeps disconnecting after some period of time, but at least i see what is happening it does not even show System reserved area (E: )of the system disk (C: ), that is normally visible...
RAID is set to AHCI, so it is ok.. the trick must be somewhere else.. i will check BIOS one more...

IOS4 wifi connection problems after a re-start

My wifi works fine until I turn my phone off then on. Then it does not automatically reconnect to the airport wifi network.
This has only happened since ios4 and I can duplicate it on numerous iPhones.
The problem is with WPA2 and not WEP

same issue here..
reset my network settings and reset phone a billion times already, same issue still occur. sometimes the phone will wake up with wifi and sometimes it will go to 3g, one time it went to GPRS, its just really bizarre. If i open safari it will ask if i want to join the network that i originally set up, but when i select the network it just says "unable to connect". If i just leave the phone be for a couple hours and wake it up again, it will rejoin the wifi network.
I use remote to control my music library, but if my phone goes to sleep, it won't reconnect again so it's basically useless.
BIZARRRRRE, driving me crazy..
