Wifi driver doesn't see my AP anymore. Very weird.

For some reason my wifi driver refuses to see my home AP. The strange thing is that it sees every other AP around. And that all other computers (including another Arch notebook and this notebook booted to Windows) detect my home AP perfectly.
'iwlist scanning' shows other networks, but not the one I'm looking for, though it's the closest one.
Reloading module didn't help. Neither did rebooting.
Everything worked yesterday (as it was before), and I don't recall that I've made an update or something.
The computer is HP Mini-Note 2133. Broadcom BCM412 driver.
I have both "wl" and  "lib80211_crypt_tkip" drivers enabled.
Both 'ssb' and'b43' are blacklisted
Do you have any ideas?
Thanks!

Sorry for sounding so noobish, but try to get a near as posible to the router and scan. Also (since you mentioned you have another laptop) try them both side to side and see the results.
If you still can't get a connection post the iwlist scan output.

  • ITunes doesn't see my iPhone anymore after upgrading

    After upgrading to 10.3.1.55, when I plug my iPhone into the PC, iTunes hangs up for a while and then fails with an error E8000065. After it iTunes doesn't see my iPhone. Previously all worked flawlessly. What am I doing wrong?

    Yes, Allan, that's what I meant I've read almost all FAQs about that problem and executed all instructions step by step. No luck... All drivers & services are running Ok, the System log is free of errors, everything is looking fine... but doesn't work

  • Error saving Project 2010 files to network drive - doesn't see network drive

    ANSWERED (11 April 2014):
    So it seems the resolution to this is to simply create a new share with a different name. I used the existing folder (to retain NTFS permissions) and just select to Add a new Share (applying the same Share permissions as the non working Shares).
    Deploying this new Share via Group Policy as a test resulted in staff being able to open files from Windows Search, save files through MS Project and the Share being accessible through browsing SMB.
    All problems resolved by using a new share name for the existing folder. Seems to be a corruption in the namespace.
    Note: I had previously deleted the share and recreated it. I had removed all NTFS permissions and readded (through both the GUI and icacls). This didn't make a difference.
    Only changing the name of the share fixed the problem.
    Original Question
    Already
    posted here... but Microsoft Support has not responded.
    It seems some staff on some computers are having problems saving MS Project files to the network. This is only since an upgrade to SBS2011 (from SBS2003). The only difference now, is that network drives are mapped via group policy rather than a  'net
    use' script.
    This is affecting users on Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2, with either MS Project 2007 or 2010. The users have full change access to the folders and can create new files and modifying existing files, just not a MS Project file. Other file tyes, e.g
    Word .docx, Excel .xlsx, Adobe .pdf files, all work fine. These files can be opened, edited and saved normally without problem.
    To replicate this:
    The user opens an existing file or creates a new file on the network folder (either through Windows Explorer or MS Project). They then click File > Save in MS Project and receive the following error (see pic below):
    An interesting symptom of this is that if you select File > Save As in MS Project, the Sae As dialog box doesn't remeber the path location of the network drive. MS Project instead prompts to save the file in the local users documents folder (see pic below):
    If they browse back to the original folder where the file was saved and choose to save it there, they are of course, prompted to overwrite the existing file and they can save the file. But the same thing happens every time they open the file.
    It seems the problem is that Project isn't seeing the path of the file or that the network drive is attached.
    If a user closes the file without saving it, they are prompted to save the file and the prompt shows the drive path:
       Do you want to save changes to "N:\... Projects\Active Projects\CC...\F4 Project Plan File\004 Programme\test project file.mpp"?   
    But choosing to save the file gives them the same result as Save As, they are prompted for a new location as if the original file location doesn't exist.
    I have disconnected the mapped drive and connected it again using net use but get the same error.
    I have reinstalled MS Project 201, installed Project 2010 SP2 and installed Windows updates and it does the same thing, exactly the same symptoms.
    Further, if the user opens a file from the network drive, the file shows in the Project recent files list. If they try to open the file from the recent files list in project they get the following error:
    "Project cannot open the file.
    -Check that the file name and path are correct.
    -Check that the file format is recognized by Project.
    Project files saved in a version earlier than Microsoft Project 98 can't be opened...."
    This is a test file that I created on the user's computer and network drive, This is being opened with the same version it was created in. If I browse to the folder in Windows Explorer I can open the file. Of course, I then can't save the file (I still get
    the original error). I'm logged on with Domain Admin privileges.
    I've checked these links from other threads (neither apply to my scenario):
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/983458/en-us|
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/excel/thread/2eeea140-7e6c-4cb9-a89b-06d2102bd9f7/
    I've downloaded my TechNet version of he software and installed it with Sp2 and Windows updates and it does the same thing. This also happens on the Remote Desktop server (Server 2008 R2) using MS Project 2007.

    Case 1
    This error message appears when the document is open on two or more computers that are running different operating platforms. For example,
    if the document is open on a Macintosh computer and you open it on a second computer running Windows or Windows NT, the error occurs when either user tries to save the document.
    This problem stems from a difference between the ways Macintosh OLE and Windows OLE open files. As a result, you cannot save a file on two different operating platforms at the same time.
    Case 2
    This error occurs in Word 97 for Windows if you save to a MAPROOT type network drive connection on a NetWare server where spaces exist in
    the file or folder name.
    Case 3
    This problem may occur if an anti-virus program running on a network has the ability to scan for macro viruses in documents in shared network
    folders.
    For example, if you have the following:
    a shared folder on a network server
    -and-
    an anti-virus program is running on the network server that is set to monitor the shared folder,
    when you attempt to save a document (across the network) to the shared folder, the anti-virus checker may cause the error to occur.
    Case 4
    This problem may occur on Novell networks when the AutoRecover files path is either blank or set to a network drive.
    According each, please try the following workaround:
    WORKAROUND
    To work around this problem, use one of the following methods appropriate to your situation.
    Case 1
    Method 1:
    Move the document to your local hard disk for editing. Move it back to the server after you finish.
    Method 2:
    Save a copy of the
    file with a different
    file name, and work on the copy, either on your hard disk or on the server.
    Case 3
    Method 1:
    Move the document to your local hard disk for editing. Move it back to the server after you finish.
    Method 2:
    Do not use spaces in the directory or document names.
    Method 3:
    Do not use MAPROOT-drive connections. Map your drive connections to the volume-level only.
    Case 4
    Turn off the anti-virus protection on the network server and then try to
    save the document. Contact your anti-virus protection software company for additional details and/or updates to their programs.
    Case 5
    Set the AutoRecover files path to your local drive. To change the AutoRecover path, use the following steps:
    1.
    On the Tools menu, click Options.
    2.
    On the File Locations tab, select AutoRecover files and then click Modify.
    3.
    Change the Modify Location dialog box to a
    folder on your local drive and then click OK.
    4.
    Click OK to close the Options dialog box.
    Hope that helps.

  • Wifi driver doesn't work properly

    HI,I've installed W8.1 instead of W7 but Wifi Dosen't work as a reight Way The Wi-Fi works for then depends on the work and then worked for againe
    this affects my Job if  i download anything,it stop loading continuesly.
    I've tried W8 and the same problem but it works  truely with w7.
    what should i do for making it works  truely with W8.1.
    Sorry length of e-mail.

    vn7571g_user,
    Sorry to hear that you are not having the best possible experience with your new notebook. I'd like to try and address a few of your concerns that you have listed and see if there are some things we can resolve for you.
    1. Wifi doesn't work properly:
    I see that you have posted in a couple other threads (1st, 2nd) regarding wireless issues with this notebook. We can gladly check this unit at the repair depot for you if you are not keen on changing the card out, PM me the following information and I will see what I can do for you:
    SNID or serial number
    Contact name
    Contact number
    Email address
    Shipping address
    Purchase date
    2. Wifi doesn't work after switching on and off 'Airplane mode'
    If you have already tried to install/update the drivers, it could be a Windows issue. You can attempt a refresh to see if that helps resolve it.
    3. Trackpad response is terrible
    This notebook uses a precision touchpad possibly, but since it uses Synaptics drivers you have a couple options:
    You can change the way that the touchpad works.
    It says Windows 7, but you can see if you have this option in the touchpad settings and see if it helps you out.
    4. Speakers jar
    Do you have the same issue without the Dolby turned on?
    5. Num-Lock is 'Off' after every sleep session
    Here is a Microsoft article that discusses this feature. You can follow the steps that they list if you would like.
    6. Keyboard-backlight setting is 'On' after every sleep session
    The backlit keyboard is working as designed. Here is an article with some FAQ about the backlit keyboard to help customers understand its functionality a bit more.
    A couple final thoughts:
    Did the issue(s) you are having occur before or after Windows updates, sometime a bad installation of an update can cause all sorts of things to happen.
    Worst case, you can always try to restore to factory defaults and test all these things before applying updates or installing any applications or programs.

  • Dreamweaver doesn't see my template anymore

    I honestly searched this forum for my issue but not having
    any luck. I need to edit a Dreamweaver site. I created it using a
    template (.dwt) and it has never given me any trouble until now.
    For some reason when I edit the template and save the file,
    Dreamweaver doesn't ask if I want to update the pages anymore. It
    used let me know about updating my pages in the past and I sure
    don't recall ever telling Dreamweaver to not update.
    Anyway, in order to get around this, I tried to reapply the
    template, but when I make the attempt, Dreamweaver doesn't
    acknowledge that my site has any templates.
    (Modify>Template>Apply Template to Page> I see a "no
    templates" message) So I cannot apply my template or any template.
    Furthermore, if I try to edit the actual page, DW won't let me edit
    the template regions. The preview shows the name of the template in
    the upper right corner of my HTML pages. What can I do? to fix
    this? Right now, I'm locked out of my pages. Thanks.

    Here are seven common mistakes that will result in changes
    not propagating
    from Template to child -
    1. Rename the Templates folder
    2. Move the Templates folder to some other folder level in
    the site other
    than root level
    3. Move a template out of the Templates folder.
    4. Make changes to an editable region of the template (which
    will not
    propagate)
    5. Assume that template changes can be uploaded to the server
    without also
    uploading the changed local files
    6. Corrupt the site cache so that the link between template
    and child page
    is broken
    7, Improperly create your child pages by simply opening the
    template,
    adding page specific content, and resaving the template with
    an *.html
    extension rather that its *.dwt extension. (you can tell if
    this is the case
    by looking at the code on a child page - if you see anything
    like <!--
    TemplateBeginEditable... then this is what you have done)
    The 6th problem can be repaired by using SITE | Advanced >
    Recreate Site
    Cache, and the six others can be fixed by just not doing
    them. Have you
    done any of those?

  • Qosmio G55-Q804 WIFI driver doesn't work Vista 32bit Ultimate

    I have Vista 32bit Ultimate and everything is loaded and working great EXCEPT my internal WIFI adapter which is an Intel unit.
    I would like to know if anyone else has dealt with this issue on this laptop? Is there something I am missing?
    Why wont the driver take?
    I am an expert IT admin and have handled many pieces of hardware in my life so I am not at a lost to try different tricks and all of them have not worked. If anyone can teach an old dog a new trick to get this to load I would be most apprciative.
    Thanks in advance
    Coogrrr

    Your model has the Intel WIFI Link 5100AGN with the latest drivers version official from Toshiba are 12.0.0.73 and from Intel 12.1.2.1. The WIFI gets autodected by Vista and will by default install the official drivers. If it doesnt do so it can be 1 of 3 things:
    1 The miniPCI isn't properly pressed into its socket
    2 Software conflict by 3 party install
    3 The miniPCI is just plain dead

  • WiFi Router doesn't see Airport Express; Admin Utility does; No music :-(

    I brought in the Geeks on Call service after struggling for a long time to setup the WiFi Router, AX, etc. The Airport Express streamed music to my stereo for one day, before my computer restarted. Now I've lost connectivity. Here's the current details:
    1) WiFi router's "Connected Devices" list does not show the AX; [Router is Netgear RangeMax Wireless Router (WPN824)]
    2) Apple's Airport Admin Utility does show the AX (a.k.a. "Living-Room")
    3) AX light is green, saying its connected to the network
    4) iTunes speaker chooser only shows "My Computer"
    Now for the bad news about what I tried that may have made things worse. Previously, the "Connected Devices" was showing the AX, but the Admin Utility was not showing it. The IP addresses of my Dell desktop & the AX were very close & I recalled the Geek saying it was a problem if they were too similar. So, I manually changed the 2nd to last # of the AX’s IP from 0 to 1. (i.e. from xxx.xx.0.x to xxx.xx.1.x) Now, I can’t login to the AX to change it back and the situation is as described above. (Its not accepting the password when I login thru the Admin Utility. I didn’t change the password from “public”.) [When I made this change, the AX started showing up in the Admin Utility and stopped showing on the WiFi’s “Connected Devices.” Previously, I had to manually enter the IP address in the Admin Utility to make it see it.]
    I’ve tried: unplugging the AX; restarting iTunes; other “standard” passwords to login to the AX; waving my hands over it and making strange noises that scare my dog.
    I admit it: This is an example of thinking I knew just enough to fix something, but ya end up worse off.
    Thanks for the help!
    Dell desktop   Windows XP   Router is Netgear RangeMax Wireless Router (WPN824)

    Excellent. I'm all squared away. It works.
    For the record, the steps were:
    * Connect AX to WiFi Router with Ethernet Cable;
    * Reset the AX with paperclip;
    * Select Factory Fresh Profile
    * Follow the steps in link above to "Join an existing Network..." including:
    * In Network Name, enter name of my wifi net, as set in router setup
    * Enter WEP password (even though your password may be all #s, I needed to select HEX)
    * Select Update to send settings to AX;
    * Once AX restarted and light is green (connected), unplug ethernet cable (should stay connected & green);
    * Check iTunes and ensure it shows up in the speaker chooser;
    * Unplug & move to electrical outlet near stereo and connect;
    * It works...
    THANKS Duane for the help!!!! Without you, I'd still just have a shiny white paperweight. Cheers, T

  • Airport Extreme set-up - Ethernet connection ok but wifi connection doesn't see the internet

    I'm trying to set-up a new (5th Gen) Airport Extreme 802.11n Wi-Fi to replace an existing TRENDnet router.
    It's connected to a Motorola cable modem with Optimum internet service.
    When I hard wire my laptop (Windows) through ethernet I get internet access. However when I try to connect via wi-fi on the laptop the Airport Utility displays 2 errors: Internet not available and No DNS server.
    When I try to connect my ipad, when I select the Wi-fi network I see the network and it tries to connect but continues to cycle, with the wi-fi icon appearing in the top line then disappearing before returning. In the Airport utility on the iPad I see the same issues listed as on the laptop.
    In the airport utility under the internet connection, "Connect using" is set to "ethernet" and "connection sharing" is set to "Off(Bridge mode)"
    Appreciate any help.
    thanks

    I would recommend that you do the following as a minimum:
    Power-down the modem, AirPort base station, and computer(s).
    While all of the devices are powered-down, perform a "factory default" reset on the base station. This will get it back to its "out-of-the-box" configuration and make setting it up much easier, especially if you use the "Assist me" process within the AirPort Utility. (ref: Resetting an AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule)
    After the base station resets, go ahead and power it back down.
    Power-up the modem; wait at least 10-15 minutes.
    Power-up the base station; wait at least 5-10 minutes.
    Power-up your computer(s).
    In this basic configuration, computers connected to the base station, either by wire or wireless (as appropriate for the base station type), should now be able to access the Internet through the ISP's modem. Once Internet connectivity has been verified, you can use the AirPort Utility to configure the base station for wireless security and any other desired options.

  • Migration Assistant problem? : New iMac's iTunes doesn't see the catalog or playlist of my old Mac's songs on an external drive

    So I just migrated from a 10.7.5 iMac 27" from 2009 to 10.9.4 on a 2013 27" iMac with Fusion Drive.
    I don't use Time Machine. There are no backups involved here.
    Used Ethernet. Only took 20 hours... (BTW, it stayed on "less than 1 minute left" for like 12 hours but luckily I was away and just left it going in hopes it would work... and it did!)
    Anyway, back on my OLD iMac, I kept all of my songs on an external drive because my internal drive was too small. So iTunes looked at that drive for the music it was playing. I turned that drive off, even disconnected it, during the migration process because I thought it was confusing it during the first attempt which took 10 hours and nothing happened.
    So now it worked, finally. On my new iMac, running Mavericks, I now have two user accounts... the one that was set up when I started the computer the first time, and the new one that transferred over via Migration Assistant. No problem. I can live with that. The only thing is, I would still think the old XML files and library stuff would migrate over... but iTunes doesn't see it. When I open up iTunes, in *either* account, iTunes behaves as if it's brand new. Repeat: the old and new account on the new iMac, both, do not see an old iTunes library which IS on the old iMac. Only the music is on the external drive from what I understand.
    I've done this before so I know it's possible. I remember upgrading a long time ago and got iTunes to see my old library... even though some of the music was no longer there. It just puts "!" marks wherever there is no link. I was hoping that that's what I would find when I launched iTunes, but no luck. Even connecting the old hard drive to the new Mac (via USB) doesn't make iTunes all of a sudden "see" the old library. That data doesn't seem to be there. It didn't transfer over. Did it not transfer over because the songs weren't on the internal volume? Should I have left my external hard drive on?
    So.... now that I've spent almost 3 days total trying to get this to work, and everything is running... I don't want to have to start over in order to get iTunes to work.  Is there a way I can just drag over some XML files or something from the old computer? I don't want to lose all of the ratings and personal notes and everything.
    I should add also that I have like only four songs I've ever actually bought through iTunes. I'm still a bit old fashioned and buy CDs and rip them to Apple Lossless. So I hope it's not an authorization / reauthorization issue because I have like 1400 albums ripped.
    Thanks in advance for any help.
    --Jeff

    iTunes does not use the .xml it uses the .itl
    If you are sure your old library file migrated across (does the file size and modification dates suggest it has?) start iTunes while holding down the option/alt key and guide it to the .itl file to get it to use that one.

  • My computer doesn't see my external hard drive

    Hello. I have a Power Mac G4, X10.4.6 and for a long time I've used it successfully with my hard drice - and Icecube 800 hard drive connected through a firewire cable. Now i just formated the intern hard disks and now the computer doesn't see the hard drive. The Icecube 800 doesn't require installation of any drivers and it still works perfectly on other computers. And there's nothing wrong with the ports because I can still connect my iPod. What do i do? Thank you, Sebastian.

    It does. It may not call it "resetting the port", but this method is what resets the port:
    "Tip: FireWire ports are keyed, which means the FireWire cable can only be inserted one way. Check that you are inserting the FireWire cable into the FireWire port in the correct orientation.
    If the issue persists, try these steps:
    1. Shut down the computer.
    2. Disconnect all FireWire devices and all other cables, except the keyboard and mouse cable(s).
    3. Disconnect the computer from the power outlet and wait for 3 to 5 minutes.
    4. Plug the computer back in and turn it on.
    5. Reconnect the FireWire device(s) (one at a time if there is more than one) and test. Test with each FireWire port if you have more than one."
    If it isn't resetting the port properly, I think your port, cable, or controller is damaged.

  • IPad 2 can see wifi but doesn't connect ... What's going on???

    iPad 2 can see wifi but doesn't connect ... What's going on???

    A few more things that you can try.
    Turn WiFi off - restart the iPad - turn WiFi on again and then try to connect again. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button. Try to join again.
    Go to Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings. Then select your WiFi network again and try to join again.
    Go to Settings>WiFi>Tap on the arrow next to your network name and then tap on Forget this Network in the next window. Then back out of the setting and go back to WiFi and let the iPad find your home network and then tap on the network name and try joining it again.
    Do the same thing as above except don't tap on Forget this Network - tap on Renew Lease at the bottom.

  • Mac Doesn't See External Drives on WinPC, PC Doesn't See Mac

    I'm trying to transfer some files that are on an external drive connected to a Windows PC to my new Mac Pro.
    On the Mac, in Finder, I can see the PC, but I can only see it's internal Hard Drive; the external drive don't show up in Finder.
    On the PC, I'm not seeing the Mac Pro at all. In Tiger, it seems to me, there was check box under the "sharing" preferences for "Windows sharing," but I can't find that in Leopard. So, the PC doesn't see the Mac at all.
    It does suddenly dawn on me that I could just detach the external drive that I'm trying to copy from the PC and plug it into the Mac, but... that would be too easy. I would still like, at least, to be able to see the Mac from the PC.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks,
    --PS

    My recommendation is to format the drive as FAT32 via OSX's Disk Utility, this will allow you to read/write from both the Mac and PC environment.
    Like I said, I don't think that's the issue, because my MacBook shares everything with the PC just fine (except the externals on the PC). And of course, I don't want to reformat the external drives until I've got the data off of them.
    I just checked, and Tiger has a "Windows sharing" checkbox under the "Sharing Preferences" that allows the MacBook to show up in "My Network Places" on the PC. The problem I'm having is getting the MacPro to show up on the PC; the Pro has Leopard, and there's no "Windows Sharing" in Leopard that I can see.
    Thanks again,

  • MacBook Pro doesn't see hard drive

    My MacBook Pro doesn't see it's hard drive. It doesn't show up when I press the Option key or in Disk Utility on the Snow Leopard disc. It was working for a while and then the computer started freezing, mainly when I was using Xcode. I thought it was an OS problem originally. Then it would occasionally not see the hard drive and come up with the "?" folder. It steadily got worse until it reached where I am now, not working at all. It doesn't see my Windows XP partition either. I have reset the PRAM and NVRAM, but to no avail. The OS boots just fine when I put the hard drive in a different MacBook, so it's not the hard drive. I have taken great care of this computer, rarely taking it out of the house. I did buy it used with a backlight problem though, so I don't know exactly what the previous owner did. Any tips or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

    Boot from your install disc & run Repair Disk from the utility menu. To use the Install Mac OS X disc, insert the disc, and restart your computer while holding down the C key as it starts up.
    Select your language.
    Once on the desktop, select Utility in the menu bar.
    Select Disk Utility.
    Select the disk or volume in the list of disks and volumes, and then click First Aid.
    Click Repair Disk.
    Restart your computer when done.
    Repair permissions after you reach the desktop-http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25751
    Or if you have Diskwarrior or Techtool Pro use one of these utilities by booting directly from their cd.

  • M8530f desktop PC with a m2n78-la mother board doesn't see my drives

    i have a m8530f desktop PC with a m2n78-la mother board it doesn't see my drives for some reason. i thought it might be a bios problem. is there any way to fix this or do i need to get another board

    Before you begin, disconnect everything from the computer (USB devices, printers, floppy disks, and CD/DVD discs) but leave the mouse, monitor and keyboard connected. You already checked and made sure that the power and data cables have a good connection to your drives and the motherboard now go to your BIOS Setup (should be F10) and reset the BIOS to its' defaults (should be F5 and then press the enter key). Arrow over to the Main screen and the hard drive should be recognized. Exit BIOS and save the changes. The computer should load the Windows OS if it's installed on the hard drive. If you get into Windows, check the Device Manager to make sure that the drive is showing up there too. If the hard drive was not detected, after you save the changes and exit the BIOS, turn off the computer. Disconnect the power cord from the back of the PC then press the power button on the computer for 5 seconds. Reconnect the power cord and turn on the computer and see if it boots up.  If it still doesn't boot up, try a different SATA connection on the motherboard (one that hasn't been used). If that doesn't help, disconnect the Memory card reader connections inside the computer and try to boot again. If it still doesn't work and since you already tried a new hard drive, I would suspect a SATA controller/bus problem and you may need to install a SATA controller card to resolve the problem.

  • Brasero doesn't see my drive, but PCManFM see it...

    Hello
    I just installed Brasero and I wanted to burn some audio CD but Brasero doesn't see my drive. It says that Brasero will drive my audio project to an iso file because it doesn't see my drive.
    My drives works, I've installed Arch with it, PCManFM (my filemanager) see it, and see that I insert a Blank disk...
    Any ideas ?
    Thanks
