WiFi doesn't get detected on Windows 8.1, but gets detected on a live USB running Ubuntu

Today, the access point routers in my hostel had their SSID and key changed. Until today, my laptop used to detect them. But since the change, my Windows 8.1 fails to detect any of the access point routers.
I tried running a live image of Ubuntu 13.10 from a USB drive, and the networks were detected.
Network adapter: Ralink RT3290 802.11bgn Wi-Fi adapter.
Driver version: 5.0.46.0
Driver date: 09-Apr-14
Laptop: HP Pavilion G6-2230TX.
Things I have tried:
Re-installing my drivers.
netsh int ip reset
netsh winsock reset
My Moto G (1st Gen, XT1033) fails to detect those networks from today as well, while all my friends can detect them.

Hi,
Please check with them what is the new bandwidth. Your laptop only knows 2.4GHz and may be the same for your phone (Motrola ?). They won't know other bandwidth.
Regards.

  • HT5628 After running bootcamp, DVD drive is detected by Windows 8. But after installing drivers, no longer can detect. Device Manager shows that DVD drive is unplugged! Drivers in Bootcamp "removed" the DVD drive!

    After running bootcamp, DVD drive is detected by Windows 8. But after installing drivers, no longer can detect. Device Manager shows that DVD drive is unplugged! Drivers in Bootcamp “removed” the DVD drive. I think there is an issue because I reinstalled Windows 8. If I don't install driver, then I have reduced functionality (no Apple keyboard, no sound etc), but once I install driver, I lose my DVD drive.

    Hi, guys, I have had the exact same problem since the summer of 2010. Here's what I was able to find out.
    Deleting upper/lower filters, running all those Fix Ya programs and other Microsoft crap is useless. This problem is most certainly has nothing to do with registry of any software on your computer. I took my HP 9620us to a couple of repair places and, they tried a lot of things and it appears that the root of this problem is a faulty motherboard connection. Of course, it costs about 400 bucks to fix it so I'm not sure I want to pay this kind of money.
    Anyway, if somebody was able to fix it PLEASE post here to let us know. Again I am 99 per cent sure it's some piece of hardware in the motherboard.

  • HT5634 iMac (Late 2006 20") with IOS Lion installed Windows 8 via BootCamp4, Then Upgrade to 8.1 Pro. Worked with warning message until today. How do I get out of Windows 8.1 to get back to IOS Lion.

    Until today I was able to ignore the compatability issues warning (I know bad idea to ignore warnings) and move between IOS Lion and Windows 8.1 Pro partitions on my 20" iMac (Late 2006) with Intel processor. After restarting Windows and spending 1/2 hour waiting for it to update (after installing Office 365) Window works fine, but when I activiate BootCamp (from Windows) nothing happens. It opens and gives me the warning with the option to run the program anyway (like always) but it the program never starts. It stays in Windows. How do I get back to IOS 7 Lion so I can upgrade BootCamp 4 to BootCamp 5 which I just saw today as the solution...?

    Power off your computer. Power up your computer, during power up press and hold the option key. When the boot manager appears select OSx.

  • IPod Touch/Phone 4gens No Longer Detected in WINDOWS MY COMPUTER but OK in iTunes

    Since I have not found help online regarding the above situation I'm looking for help accordingly.   For most folks it's iTunes not detecting i-Devices, but my situation is unique.
    It started last night after I was on the phone for hours with Norton regarding error messages I was getting with Internet Security.  Those issues have been resolved.
    Again: iTunes detects and interacts successfully with ALL my iDevices.  Windows Vista > My Computer no longer does.
    Please help.

    Just now I performed the following:
    Turned off and turned back on AMDS(Apple Mobile Device) Service.
    Disabled Norton Internet Security, and tried checking if Windows would see my devices.
    For anyone who has Windows Vista you are familiar with the notes that play when you plug in a USB device: "da-dunk!"  Low-High note dadunk indicates connected.   High-low indicates it was disconnected.
    I can tell there is a problem because right after the Low-High dadunk in Vista I get a triple Low-note Du-du-dunk.
    Please help!

  • New Window Target doesn't open a new window in Contribute but does in Firefox

    I have made the neccessary steps to allow a link to open in a
    new window by choosing "New Window" as the Target, and when testing
    the published page within the Contribute browser it does not seem
    to work. So I went ahead and tested it in Firefox (and other
    browsers as well) and it does work. Doesn't this seem strange?
    Anyone else having this problem? Does anyone know why Contribute
    works this way? Thanks in advance for your help.
    Todd Temple

    I did a quick test by changing a link to open in a new
    window. Within Contribute, when I click the link, a new IE window
    opened. Can you provide a link to the page or the source code of
    the page?

  • TS3899 Message keeps appearing " cannot get mail, ID or password incorrect" but getting email just fine

    I recently upgraded to IOS 5, as well as connected to a cable network instead of dsl, updated iTunes and sync'd my iPad to my Windows XL and got on board with iCloud. Now I keep getting a message that says, " cannot get mail, user ID or password incorrect" with options of choosing OK or going to settings. If I choose the settings, it brings me to account info with my email address and password ( dots) Then if I erase the password and put it back in, it says it's incorrect and if I save it, I may not receive or send mail. If I go directly to my account from the settings icon, and erase my password there instead, and then re- enter it, then it verifies it. Regardless of anything I do, the same message keeps popping up and is very annoying, as well as interrupting. What's wrong, please?

    Thanks for answering, but I should've clarified... The message keeps popping up every couple of minutes. Sometimes as soon as I click OK, it comes back again. I tried deleting the account and re-entering it again, but that didn't work. I tried resetting my iPad by holding both the on and the off switch down until the apple appears...still no help. I went to my PC, and logged into my account and viewed my email without any problem. Is this a problem with my iPad or Yahoo? I called a Yahoo line, and was told I had reached the wrong extension, since it was a line for technical assistance only, and then he hung up. What can I do next?

  • Hen I click on Gmail on my toolbar I get this: I have tried all but getting rid of all my cookies. Nothing works. When I search gmail cookie, I have it there so what is wrong??? Do I need to go back to an older version?

    'I can get to my gmail account by IE, but something very weird happened, I was upgrading my ad ware and got all sorts of strange pictures etc. And when I finally recovered my computer. and drop down menu was gone. Like a new Firefox, and I did not or intend to upgrade firefox.
    The bottom line is how can I get back into gmail from firefox. My fav!

    HI, and thank you for your reply.  I am a bit confused  however as I would have thought that once I turned off the engine of my car the transmitter and ipod would be also off???? Is there still power coming into the cigarette lighter when the car is off>????? i have a mercedes c class.  The cigarette lighter is still working and the transmitter is still working.  Are you saying that by leaving them still plugged in even though the car was idle and not running it still destroyed  the hard drive????  Also could this happen if a person leaves it docked in a radio cd player but is not listening to it, is it still charging and could this have burned out the hard drive.  (i always left it docked) until i bought the transmitter for the car.
    Your thoughts would be much appreciated as obviously I do not want to make the same mistake again.
    kind regards

  • I get no mail on my mac but get mail on my touch

    i want to know why i can get all my email on my ipod ,  itouch.  and not get a single piece any email on my computermail . Why is this?  I do have a imac 21. 
    it did worklast month  and now it does not.

    Is this the formal MobileMe email?
    If so the servers & other things have changed.
    Do not delete the old account yet. sign up for an iCloud account if you haven't.
    I understand .mac mail will still come through. Do not delete the old account yet.
    You cannot use .mac or MobileMe as type of Account, you have to choose IMAP when setting up, otherwise Mail is hard coded to change imap.mail.me.com to mail.me.com & smtp.mail.me.com to smtp.me.com, no matter what you try to enter.
    iCloud Mail setup, do not choose .mac or MobileMe as type, but choose IMAP...
    On second step where it asks "Description", it has to be a unique name, but you can still use your email address.
    IMAP (Incoming Mail Server) information:
    • Server name: imap.mail.me.com
    • SSL Required: Yes
    • Port: 993
    • Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
    • Password: Your iCloud password
    SMTP (outgoing mail server) information:
    • Server name: smtp.mail.me.com
    • SSL Required: Yes
    • Port: 587
    • SMTP Authentication Required: Yes
    • Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
    • Password: Your iCloud password
    Also, you must upgrade your password to meet the new criteria:  8 characters, including upper and lower case and numbers.  If you have an older password that does not meet these criteria, when you try to setup mail on your mac, using all of the IMAP criteria listed above, it will still give a server error message.  Go to   http://appleid.apple.com         then follow directions to change your password, then go back to setting up your mail using the IMAP instructions above.
    Thanks to dpepper...

  • Ipod shuffle 2nd gen not getting detected in windows 7 64bit

    i got an apple ipod shuffle 2nd gen and it is not getting connected in windows 7 64bit,but it perfectly works in windows 7 32bit,what to do.tried installiny itunes,reset etc.

    Hey, I hear ya and can sympathize. I have the same
    issue. The difference is that my computer can "see"
    my ipod but it refuses to show up in itunes itself;
    therefore, I can't put anything on the ipod (from the
    computer) and vice-versa. Apple support is clueless.
    This is very frustrating to say the least. Itunes
    keeps telling me that my ipod is synced to a
    "different" computer, which isn't true. It's the
    same computer. The difference is that when I first
    got the 'pod and used it with this computer (and
    everything worked fine), I was running XP. I
    installed Vista and after that, all the problems
    started. If I ever get this resolved, believe me,
    I'll post something here.
    I'm guessing that somehow, itunes "sees" what
    computer it's hooked to by "looking" at something in
    the OS. Change the OS and it "thinks" it's seeing a
    "different" computer.
    Try reformatting it.

  • Where can i get an hdmi driver so i can get sound in my tv when connected to my hp pavilion dv6

    where can i get an hdmi driver so i can get sound in my tv when connected to my hp pavilion dv6

    Hi,
    HDMI sound is actually comes with the video card. DV6 is a reries of dozens if not hundreds of models, which one is yours ? Please use the following steps to check and fix:
    General Instructions for Setting Up HDMI Audio
    Preliminary steps:
    1. Plug the laptop into a power source. Some of the models have a power management scheme that will not allow for HDMI audio while running on batteries. Later, after you get your HDMI audio working, if you find that it still does not work on batteries you can change your power management settings in the Control Panel.
    2. HDMI has its own audio driver separate from the audio system of the computer ( Sigmatel, IDT, or Realtek ) . It is incorporated into the graphics card's driver so make sure you have the newest version of your graphics card driver. On models with Intel graphics the HDMI audio driver will appear in the Device Manager as "Audio Device on High Definition Audio Bus".
    3. Turn off the computer and TV before connecting the HDMI cable. Later, after you get your HDMI audio working, if you disconnect the cable while the computer is running and lose your audio, try closing and then re-opening whichever program you were using that generates audio.
    4. Every time you try a different solution you should reboot the computer. HDMI audio is extremely finicky and seems to usually need a reboot.
    Make the Connection:
    1. Connect the HDMI cable to the computer and TV. If the TV has a "DVI/HDMI" port do not use it. Use a port for HDMI only.
    2. Turn on the TV and select the HDMI port you are using. Adjust the TV settings to receive HDMI audio if any.
    3. Turn on the computer. (Optional, some people close the laptop lid immediately after hitting the power button but I am not sure why. Most people should not need to do this.)
    4. Optional. Some models do better if the TV is set to be the primary display. To set, repeatedly press Fn+F8 (or ctrl+alt+F4) to cycle through the settings (laptop display only/laptop display plus external display/external display only). Reboot the laptop.
    5. Go to Start>Control Panel>Sound>Playback tab. Make "HDMI" the default device. (If "HDMI" is not there, right click in the white area and look under "Show Disconnected Devices" or "Show Disabled Devices" and see if it is there.)
    Post Connection Problems:
    1. If there is still no option to select "HDMI' as the default audio playback device, try re-installing or updating the graphics driver, or even try an older version. The graphics driver is the driver for HDMI audio, not the regular audio driver. A few people with Intel graphics had better results by uninstalling the graphics driver, rebooting, and letting Windows look for a driver (instead of downloading the driver from the Dell support site).
    2. Try disconnecting and then reconnecting the HDMI cable.
    3. If you are using Windows Media Player or Windows Media Center but get no HDMI audio even after it is selected as the default playback device, go to
    Control Panel>Sound>Playback tab>Audio/Playback device>HDMI>properties>Advance>Exclusive Mode and uncheck "exclusive mode".
    4. Try a different HDMI cable.
    5. Try a different HDMI port on the TV.

    Hey sunnyday7!
    Here is an article that can help you address this issue:

    Additional Information
    OS X automatically relaunches the Finder when it is quit. If the Finder is unresponsive, use Force Quit to relaunch it. Select Finder in the Force Quit Window or Dock, then click Relaunch.

    Hello NotAppleSavy,
    Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like the computer wont connect to networks. I see you have used network diagnostic. I would recommend that you read this article, there are a lot of other things you can do in this article that may be able to help you resolve or isolate the issue.
