Hi:
Please see if this wireless driver works...the parts list for your model states it has an AR9565 802.11BGN+BT4  card.

You would also need the bluetooth driver for W7...

  • With 7.1 "Share WiFi Settings" no longer works for A3 Pioneer Speaker setup

    I am nolonger able to link my Pioneer A3 Speaker with my WiFi network by plugging it into my iPhone or iPad, no message asking "Share the WiFi Settings". I have used various cables, re-booted WiFi and devices etc so conclude either my A3 has suddenly broken, or the 7.1 updates messed things up.
    Section E in this PDF is the instructions I have been following https://www3.pioneer.co.jp/support/manual/wss/sma1_3_4/pdf/ARH7143C.pdf
    Anyone else with this sort of issue ????

    Somewhere in there, is there a question for us, your fellow users in these user to user support forums?

  • HOWTO: Make Virtual WiFi work in Windows 7 for MacBook Air (Late 2010)

    I just spent several hours figuring out what is a bug in the Broadcom WiFi drivers for my new MacBook Air, and thought I would post how I fixed it for others until Apple can get Broadcom to fix their drivers.
    Virtual WiFi:
    First, what is Virtual WiFi. Virtual WiFi is a feature in Windows 7 that allows a single WiFi adapter in a computer to look like more than one adapter. The most common use for this is for software like Connectify that allows you to use your laptop as a wireless access point (AP) when you travel. For example, you might settle into a hotel room, pay for an Internet connection for your MacBook, and then want to share that connection with your iPhone, iPad, and other devices. For Virtual WiFi to work, the WiFi drivers for your WiFi hardware need to indicate that they support the feature, and then in Device Manager in Windows Control Panel, under Network Adapters you will see the "Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport Adapter" listed. Notably, this adapter was missing after installing Windows 7 and BootCamp 3.1 on my MacBook Air (Late 2010).
    Why it Doesn't Work:
    The strange thing is, this was working fine on my wife's MacBook from 2008, with similar Broadcom WiFi hardware. It turns out that whoever made the Broadcom driver file made a small copy-and-paste error, and neglected to support Virtual WiFi for the slightly different chip that is in the MacBook Air versus the MacBook. By fixing the driver file, the issue can be fixed. The problem is right here in the file, which we'll get to more below:
    %BCM430N_DeviceDesc% = BCM43XNM_NT61, PCI\VEN14E4&DEV432b
    %BCM430N_DeviceDesc% = BCM43XNG_NT61, PCI\VEN14E4&DEV432c
    %BCM430N_DeviceDesc% = BCM43XNM_NT60, PCI\VEN14E4&DEV4353
    My wife's MacBook uses the first line with DEV_432b at the end. Note that it uses the installation section BCM43XNM_NT61 which refers to Windows 7 and correctly installs Virtual WiFi. The newest MacBook Air uses the last line with DEV_4353 at the end (a slightly different chip). Note that it incorrectly refers to the installation section BCM43XNM_NT60, which is Windows Vista with no support for Virtual WiFi.
    How to Fix It:
    1) You first need to extract the Broadcom drivers that are in the latest version of BootCamp so that you can modify the INF file. To do this, I followed all of the instructions in the BootCamp Assistant from Mac OS X on my MacBook Air to download the WindowsSupport folder with BootCamp drivers, which you can save to the hard drive or burn to a CD. Once you have this, open the folder "Boot Camp\Drivers\Broadcom". We need to extract the file BroadcomNetworkAdapterWin7_32.exe or BroadcomNetworkAdapterWin7_64.exe depending on whether you are using a 32-bit or 64-bit version of Windows 7. I was able to do this with WinRAR installed, by right-clicking and selecting to extract the file to a folder.
    2) In the folder from the last step, there are 31 files on my installation, but the one we want is bcmwl6.inf. If you open that file the first two sections (BROADCOM.NTamd64.6.1 and BROADCOM.NTx86.6.1) are the ones with the error as reproduced above. The first section is for 64-bit installations, and the second section is for 32-bit installations.
    3) Modify the last line of each section to change BCM43XNM_NT60 to BCM43XNM_NT61, and save the file.
    4) Now we need to install the driver from this folder onto the MacBook Air. I did this by opening Device Manager from Control Panel, right-clicking the "Broadcom 802.11n Network Adapter" under Network Adapters, and selecting "Uninstall" followed by "Update Driver Software". Point the update dialog to the folder where you modified the driver, and let it install.
    5) Note that because the INF file is modified the driver is no longer correctly signed. You will see a warning to this effect, and you should select to install the driver anyway.
    6) You should now see the "Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport Adapter" in Device Manager, and software like Connectify should work to share your WiFi connection.
    Hopefully Apple will fix this the correct way soon, by getting Broadcom to fix their driver and updating BootCamp to include it. At the time of this writing, the Broadcom driver version is 5.100.57.8 so anything later than that may be fixed.
    Good Luck!

    That is one heck of a post for a newcomer here. Your instructions worked like a charm, with one exception:
    When uninstalling the Broadcom Device, I had to check the box to delete the driver, and then had to scan for new hardware to get the device to show back up. Then I was able to load the edited driver software.
    I am not complaining, but very grateful, as I was pulling my hair out on this one.

  • New router - how to change wifi settings for Photosmart B109n

    I got a new router. How do I change the wifi settings for my Photosmart B109n?  I changed the PC wifi settings (no problem). I connected the PC (Windows 7) to the printer by USB cable. In the HP Solutions Centre, when I click on Settings / Network Settings, it tries to open a browser (IE9) page, with the URL being the IP address (192.168.2.3), but it goes to the "cannot display" page. Do I need the HP software CD? (I think I've lost it.) The manual explains how to set up (using the CD), but I can't find how to change settings for a new router.

    Glad to see that you have everything solved. If you run into any other problems, feel free to ask.

  • I recently built a new windows PC for the first time. My (new) wife and I both have itunes accounts, which we would like to use under different windows accounts on same PC. However, when I try to download my wife's songs it gives me an error.

    I am recently married to a wonderful woman and just built a windows PC for the first time. The idea was that we would (sorta) both be able to get a new computer out of it as we would each have a different account under windows. One of the first tasks was to migrate over our iTunes libraries. I did mine with no problem, but now that I'm try to do hers, I'm getting an error message saying "if you download past purchases with your Apple ID, you cannot auto-download or download purchases with a different Apple ID for 90 days."
    What's the best solution for this? I want my wife to be able to use the new computer under her windows account just like it's her new computer, to the extent possible. I don't want our two iTunes accounts to be fighting each other and causing problems because they are on the same physical machine. What to do? Surely this can't be the first time this has happened - where two people each want to have their own iTunes account on the same computer.
    This is the latest version of iTunes (12.0.1.26) running on Windows 8.1.

  • Disabling always ontop for wifi pop-up window

    I'm not sure this is the correct forum in do this in, but I have a problem with using the Wifi at my university and the multi-desktop feature of OS X Yosemite.
    When I log onto my university wifi it comes up with a Safari pop-up window detailing my internet usage. Unfortunately, it doesn't take into account the multi-desktop feature of OS X Yosemite. The window is always on top of all the desktops - it sits in front of my Word document, my pdf document, my general web browsing etc. When I swipe between the desktops it just just comes along and gets in the way.
    There are no options on the window other than closing it. Unfortunately, if I close the window, it disables my connection.
    Is there a way to disable the 'always on top' nature of this window?

    The answer was provided here:How to stop the wifi pop-up window?

    2 New Ipads (Retina and Mini)(New to Apple) How do I share purchased apps, but others have each act independently? Mini is for the Wife the Ipad4? is for me. I want to use mine at work, etc. She's home with the kids. Can we set them up seperate, but share
    --break--
    So we are entirely new to Apple products. I'm an IT guy, but have always been a windows user.
    So the Ipad with Retina Display is to be mine (and will use it at work for notes, organization, etc)
    The MINI is for the wife.
    But, are we allowed and can we.. buy an app and share that app between both devices? IE. Can I buy a copy of Angry Birds for the House and both Ipad's use that single purchase? and if so, can we still run the Ipads seperate other than to share the apps purchased. IE my facebook and email set up on mine and hers on her ipad mini?
    When I finally find a note taking app I like, can I share it on her ipad, without her having all my work files, etc?
    Thanks for helping out the apple noob. Hoping for a great experience, and anticipate droping $100 in apps the first day.. just don't want to do that twice. If this is against the usage policy, thats unfortunate but good to know. (I mean we can share stuff on PC as long as its in the same household)
    thanks again (explanations or links are fine)

    There are a number of Apple services: iMessage, FaceTime, iCloud, Game center, Find My iPad, etc.
    Now, to share apps, music and books you need to have the same Apple ID:
    iPad's Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Apple ID > Your purchasing Apple ID.
    For the other service, your wife should have her own Apple ID.
    All she needs is a valid e-mail address, apply Apple ID below:

  • Solved WiFi issue - Hope it works for you. If not, sorry.

    Hey, I know about your problem. I've been a Windows person for fifteen years and bought a MacBook Pro about eight hours ago and same problem. Been researching it for eight hours and got it to work. I don't know much, but you can try this and maybe it'll work. Plug your notebook into a cable ethernet connection (automatically connects and then go to network preferences (right by the battery indicator). Surf the web and just make sure you are actually connected via cable. If so, click ethernet in network preferences and then click advanced. You should see a bunch of taps, but click DNS and then you should see two sets of DNS servers. Write them down. Click okay and then disconnect cable (replug if you don't have an extra line). Clicka airport and then settings and then DNS servers. Add the two sets of numbers you just saw and then click apply. Enable your AirPort and now it should work. Hope this works. If it does, email me back at <edited by host - for your privacy please do not put email addresses in the body of posts.> Hopefully this solves all the wifi problems.

    Thanks for posting Marcus. This may help, but I've noticed many cable providers do not provide the DNS addresses by default.
    We had had three different cable providers at home over the past eight years and none "fed" DNS info automatically. One of those providers would give you the numbers if you called about a problem but otherwise felt it to be unnecessary for the masses to have them.
    The LAN/WAN sysops where I worked also had to dole out DNS numbers manually. We were spread across three facilities up to six miles apart and some of the remote locations needed DNS entered for best performance. Still, we had to call someone to get them.
    So, yes, it can help--no, many people cannot get these numbers without calling their ISP. Even then, they may not get them depending on the support tech who picks up the phone that day. It will vary by ISP.
    Keep up the experimenting as it benefits the whole community. If someone has to make a support call to try your DNS solution, so be it. It might be well worth the call. You theory certainly fits with DNS info I got from my sysops when I was working; they manually entered DNS addresses for physical locations that had trouble maintain server contact.
    Oops! Almost forgot--welcome to Apple Discussions!

    Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
    Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
    You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

  • Create MSI to configure the Wifi settings

    I have a scenario where multiple users must have their Windows 7 laptop Wifi settings configured as per a specified configuration. We don't have a AD environment, hence the configuration cannot be done through GPOs. 
    I tried playing around with the "netsh" command and found that the Wifi profile can be exported and imported to the wireless adapters, using the following commands:
    Export:
    netsh wlan export profile name="CorpSSID" folder=c:\
    Import:
    wlan add profile filename="c:\wlanconf.xml" 
    A simple batch file can create this profile on any machine, provided the xml is shared and is located in the right folder. The intension is to make this easier for the end user. So was looking around to see if there are any easy ways to create a .msi that
    would contain the xml file, and on clicking it would create the Wifi profile on the system. May be there are other better options, suggestions welcome.

    Might ask them over here.

  • Missing Broadcom Wifi Adapter on Windows 8.1

    Last night, I was successfully able to dual-boot Windows 8.1 onto my late 2013 Mac Book Pro with Retina. I made sure to download the latest support software for Windows. No problems there, as far as I know.
    However, I am unable to connect to wifi on the Mac Book when running Windows 8.1. The troubleshooter is unable to find any issues, and I have gone into settings to make sure that airplane mode is turned off.
    I believe the problem may have something to do with my Network adapters. Following online instructions, I opened up the Device Manager and looked at my Network adapters. Supposedly, I should find a Broadcom wifi adapter here so I can update its drivers, but there is no such adapter in the list. Instead, I just see two Bluetooth Device adapters.
    This is really confusing, because wifi works just fine when running OSx on the Mac Book. So I'm guessing I must have some kind of wifi adapter that Windows 8.1 can't seem to locate, or something along those lines.
    So, my question is: what should I do if I do not see a wifi adapter in my device manager on Windows 8.1? Do I have the adapter, and it's just invisible because its drivers are out of date, or is there some other issue?
    Thanks in advance!

    Ah, that did the trick! Since I plugged the USB flash drive into the D drive, the path for me was:
    This PC/ WININSTALL (D:)/ BootCamp/ Drivers/ Broadcom
    This folder had six different .exe's, but since I installed Windows 8.1 64 bit, I ran BroadcomWirelessWin8x64.exe. This installed the driver in just a few seconds, and now the Broadcom 802.11ac Network Adapter shows up in my Device Manager underneath Network Adapters.
    So, if anyone dual-boots Windows onto their Mac Book and can't seem to find the Broadcom wifi adapter in the device manager, don't worry! It isn't missing, it's just not showing up until you run the exe for the drivers it needs.
    Thanks turbostar! I really appreciate it.
    PS - I meant to click 'this solved my question,' but I accidentally clicked 'this helped me' instead. Sorry about that! First day on the site haha.

    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button
