T500 Intel Wifi 5350 is unable to connect automatically with Windows 8.1

Hello, I have searched the forums to see if there is a similar problem like the one I am having, but, did not come across. I bought my T500 in 2009 with XP installed. I have recently installed Windows 8.1 and started to experience problems with my Intel Wifi 5350. Upon restart, the driver is unable to connect to my home wifi. In order to connect, I need to go through trouble shooting and reset the wifi link, which, then, fixes the problem. When I first installed Windows 8.1, I did not have this problem. It seemed to have happened after a few auto updates.
The driver software I have is 13.3.0.137 with a date of 8/15/2010. Driver provider is Microsoft.
I downloaded but not yet installed Intel® PROSet/Wireless Software for Windows 8.1 Wireless_17.1.0_De164.exe. I am not sure if this will fix it. I wanted to ask this first before I do something. If you have had this before or know the answer, could you please post specific links to which drivers I should install manually? Thanks! I appreciate if you could be specific in your responses as I am not super tech savvy.

When I press Fn+F5 I get the charms bar as attached in my 1st post, but not a popup

4s ios 6.1.2 wifi disabled,grey

4s ios 6.1.2 wifi disabled.grey.gone.what can i do?

I've the same problem.
I've changed 3 Iphone for this problem.
The only solution is change the telephone and pray... This problem is caused by the IOS update.
My problems started in the same time with the update on IOS 6 and they are still present. I've contacted the apple support and they told me switch telephone.
Do you have any different news?

I have an iPhone 4S WiFi disabled. I can not turn on WiFi it does not allow...
Please help me.

Have you tried pressing the round button and the on/off switch at the top at the same time and holding them till an Apple icon appears? If that doesn';t work, take it back, you are still under warranty.

Wifi disabled

after last iOS update (version 6.0.1), ipod touch (4th gen), any appl. update turns out to be slow until wifi disables itself.

I had this problem with my iPhone 4S and I tied everything, even two restores. The new iOS burned out the wifi thing. I had to get a replacement phone from my nearest Apple store. My phone is still in warranty, but if yours is not, you have to pay the price you bought it for. I bought my iPhone 4S when it first came out so I would have to pay $199 for my 16GB. If you do end up bringing it to an Apple store, make sure your stuff is backed up to iCloud! I made the mistake of only backing it up to my computer and then when I got there, the guy advised me not to restore from the old update because of corrupt data.
if you need a quick fix before getting it checked out, you can take it out of the case and stick it in the freezer for a couple of minutes. As soon as the phone heats up, the wifi grays out again.
Hope this helped!

Lenovo ThinkPad E450 Reinstall Windows 8

Hi everyone, I recently purchased a Lenovo ThinkPad E450. First thing I tried to do was dual boot Linux, but somehow it ended up wiping the hard drive. I can't boot into Windows and I have no clue what's going on.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Avinash

There should be an installer somewhere on your computer - look for a file called "iTunesSetup.exe" (32-bit) or "iTunes6464Setup.exe" (64-bit) - you'll almost certainly have got the second of these on a Windows 8 machine. Then double-click on this file to install iTunes. If you can't find the files, the direct links are here:
iTunes 12.1.1.4 (32-bit) - iTunesSetup.exe
iTunes 12.1.1.4 (64-bit) - itunes6464setup.exe
iTunes 12.1.1.4 (64-bit "for older video cards") - iTunes64Setup.exe
The last of these is an alternative installer for 64-bit systems you find that using the "standard" 64-bit version causes playback issues or problems with QuickTime or Outlook integration.

Wifi symbol on notification bar with wifi disabled

Hi,
since a few days I have a wifi symbol on my notification bar with 1 (number) on the left of the symbol.
I have wifi disabled but the symbol doesn't disappear.
Selecting the notification bar I only have calendar entries, nothing else appears that could be related to wifi.
Any suggestion on what to check ?
Thanks in advance

Thinkpad E540 with Windows 7 drops Wifi constantly

We just purchased 18 of these E540's and all of them are having the same issues in our network. They connect connect wirelessly but while doing a continuous ping I see a Request time out or a destination host unreachable every 8 or so pings.
I have used system update to update everything on the laptop, I have also done all the updates for Windows 7 and I have det the BIOS to original defaults.
I know there is talks of this "Lenovo EMC Storage Connector" causing issues with excessive traffic on windows 8.1 but we are dealing with Windows 7 64 bit and the process in question "discovery.exe: is not running nor present.
Any help would be very appreciated.
As a note I would like to point out that we have around 400 other wireless devices in our network at any given moment and we have not had any issues with any other prior Lenovo products. As a matther of fact we just deployed 60 Lenovo N20 Chromes last week without any issues.
Thanks

The only way we could make this work in our envirinment (and we have a big High school with well over 500 wireless devices that work without any issues), was to have Lenovo send us some different WiFi cards, They sent us the Broadcom BGN 1x1, BT4.0 cards

My iPad2 no longer connects to my home wifi network but there is no problem connecting to other saved wifi networks. Currently using iOS8.0.2. with storage capacity of 12.2Gb but only 147Mb free. Disconnecting the router and rebooting the iPad worked

My iPad2 no longer connects to my home wifi network but there is no problem connecting to other saved wifi networks. Currently using iOS8.0.2. with storage capacity of 12.2Gb but only 147Mb free. Disconnecting the router and rebooting the iPad worked briefly as a temporary fix but not anymore

You could try this
Temporarily disable security on your home network
See if the iPad connects
If it does then reset the security - with the same or different password

I Try chatting with Cisco support and was told he was no longer under warranty ....
Can you tell me how to solve this problem ???

Sure, disable security on the router completely for now. Now try to connect with no security. Once done and verified go back and add security back on of WPA2-AES with a new password and try again.

Since the MacBook Pro currently works, you should put it next to the iMac and compare the network settings for AirPort in System Preferences Network pane Advanced. Also, if you want to start off with the default network settings, you can use Location drop down menu and select +Edit Locations+. Then click the plus sign to create a new location. Set up that new location.
On System Preferences Network pane, AirPort should appear at the top of the list (in the sidebar). To change the service order, click on the gear icon and select +Set Service Order+.
Some additional tests you can try, on top of seeing if it works with (1) WEP security disabled and (2) a direct wired connection to the router.
If you get it to work with either (1) or (2), be sure to run Software Update at least two times to apply any recent updates from Apple. See if that makes any difference to using AirPort with WEP back on.
(3) Start up in Safe Mode
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1455
I don't know if any third-party software has been installed on the iMac at this point, but Safe Mode will start up with only the essential Apple extensions and processes running. See if it works any better in Safe Mode.
(4) Create a new admin user account in System Preferences Accounts pane
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.6/en/8235.html
Log out and log in to the new account. Try connecting with AirPort in the new account.
(5) Connect the MacBook Pro to the router with a wired Ethernet connection. Make sure its Internet access works. On System Preferences Sharing pane, set it up for +Internet Sharing+ so that it is set to +Share your connection from Ethernet - To computers using AirPort+. On the iMac, try to connect to that wireless network and access the Internet.
That last one (5) may be a good one to try first. It would at least show that the iMac's AirPort is working - you can even set it up to use WEP. If you have any questions about using the +Internal Sharing+ feature, please ask.

I have 2 macbooks each with an account for me and one for my wife. I use one Macbook logged in with my account and my wife uses the other Macbook only loged in on her account. We both make regular time-machine back-ups each on a separate external disk

I have 2 Macbooks each with an account for me and one for my wife. I use one Macbook logged in with my account and my wife uses the other Macbook only logged in on her account. We both make regular time-machine back-ups each on a separate external disk. Is it possible to update her account on my macbook using her external disk without overwriting my stuff on the same Macbook and vice versa?

Time Machine does not do individual accounts. It records the complete drive. So if you were to use her TM backup on your Mac it would make your Mac just like hers. Both yours and her account on your MAC.
Just copy the missing files over from her Mac to yours. If there are differennt programs on each then they would need to be installed on both.

Can't dual boot windows 7 with windows 8 on Thinkpad edge S430

I am desperately trying to install windows 7 from USB.
I need it to dual boot with windows 8.
I obtained a windows 7 iso from MSDNAA: (en_windows_7_professional_with_sp1_x64_dvd_u_676939.iso)
I made a bootable UEFI USB with rufus on a Sandisk U3 Cruzer (8GB)
Now in BIOS I disabled secure boot but I can't select my USB, I can select it, press enter, the screen flickers but jumps back to the first entry in the boot list.
The USB is displayed without "UEFI:" in front.
Selecting "legacy" in boot mode works but I can't install windows 7, the setup shows al the partitions but says: "Windows cannot be installed to this disk. The selected disk is not of the GPT partition style".
That's it, I just can't install windows 7...
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Ok got it working:
a U3 Cruzer is NOT a good bootable USB!
csm should be enabled in BIOS.
secure boot should be DISABLED in BIOS.
(My problem was csm and the bad USB)
