Windows 8.1 and no wifi

Hello,
I just upgraded from 8.0 to 8.1 and the wifi doesn't work at all.
I googled it and it seems a common problem since the preview release.
I reinstalled the driver many times but nothing changed.
I tried to install the beta driver that is in the sticked topic, but I get an error!
I have:
Windows 8.1
Z77 Mpower
GTX 660Ti
16 GB RAM

Drivers for Z77 Mpower (Windows 8.1)
Bluetooth 3.0+HS module (Atheros AR3011)
WiFi 802.11b/g/n 2.5 GHz only module (Atheros AR9271)

I have an Epson printer on a Wifi network. Windows 7 desktop and and HP Win 7 laptop (my wifes) print to it just fine. My MacBook Pro running Yosemite won't detect it, and I have the latest driver installed. No problem when I had a Canon...

I have an Epson printer on a Wifi network. Windows 7 desktop is running the network, and my wife's HP Win 7 laptop prints to it just fine. My MacBook Pro running Yosemite won't detect it, and I do have the latest driver installed. I didn't have a problem when I had a Canon Pixma on the network, but when I replaced it with the Epson nothing seems to work. I go to add a printer to the queue and only the FAX function of the printer shows up - not the WS-4530 print function. Does anyone out there have any suggestions? Please??? :-)

Hi Kelly,
As someone who has to print from my Mac to a networked printer at home all the time, I can certainly understand how frustrating it must be to have that fail to perform as expected. Let's see if we can get you up and running.
I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -
OS X Yosemite: Printing troubleshooting
Start with the section titled Check the network.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Sincerely,
Brett L

My laptop is using Windows 8.1 and it can't connect to a WiFi using WPA2/Enterprise authenticate

I am using a laptop Dell Inspiron 15z with Windows 8.1 64 Bit OS. And i build a test lab to test WPA2/Enterprise authenticate.
My Lab is like that:
1/ My DC + DNS using Windows 2012 RC2 Standard.
2/ I install CA + Radius Server on DC Server.
3/ My AP WiFi is DrayTek AP810
After configed i can you use my iphone 5s (ios 8.1), my android phone (Samsung Galaxy), 1 laptop Windows 7, 1 laptop Windows 8 to test. And all of them can connected with no problem.
But my laptop using Windows 8.1 64 bit OS can't connected. After i choise the WiFi, it only show "checking network requirement"- not show the option question username and password. (and i config it exactly like laptop Windows 8).
I have tried find the answer on Google but nothing help me. (i have choise PEAP, install Certificate...)
Please help me guys. Thank you so much.

Hi,
About this issue, we could troubleshoot as the following methods on the Windows 8.1 client side.
1. Maker sure the "Automatically use my Windows logon name and password" setting on the client is disabled and on your client and type in the correct domain name when prompted.
2. If the issuer persists, delete this network profile in your Windows 8.1 client with commands and manually configure it as

One Itunes account for me and my wife

I am trying to find out how I can have one itunes account for my phone and my wifes. Right now my phone shows my account and hers show her. Unfortunately we have always bought itunes stuff through her account. Can anyone help me or tell me where to go to find help?

You can "share" iTunes content within the same household. That might be a better approach with two separate computers & iTunes accounts. The stuff on your wife's computer is grayed out, because by design you can sync iTunes content with the iPhone on ONE computer at a time. So, if you want to "share", do this:
1. First disable auto-sync under Preferences>Devices in iTunes(under the edit menu if using Windows) on your computer.
2. You sign out of iTunes & sign your wife in.
3. Connect her phone...DO NOT SYNC!
4. Store>Authorize this Computer.
5. File>Transfer Purchases.
6. Eject her phone.
7. Sign her out, you sign back in.
You can now sync and add whatever content you want to each device. Just remember, all app updates to any apps obtained with her account MUST be done by signing into iTunes using her account, update the apps in question, sign her out, you sign back in.
That's all you have to do.

Windows Phone sync and transfer options

This post explains the options available for synchronizing and transferring contacts, calendar and tasks from your Windows PC to a Nokia Lumia with Windows Phone.
How Contacts, Calendar and Tasks are synchronized between a Windows PC and a Lumia family phone depends on which software is used on the PC
If a S40, S60 or Symbian Nokia phone was used before contacts, calendar and tasks can be synchronized between this phone and your PC using Nokia Suite with the following:
Microsoft Windows 7 contacts
Microsoft Windows Vista calendar and contacts
Microsoft Outlook 2002, 2003, 2007, 2010
Microsoft Outlook Express
Mozilla Thunderbird
Nokia Suite (v3.6.x and later) allows for an easy transfer of contacts, calendar and photos to your Nokia Lumia Windows Phone via SkyDrive.
Here's how this feature works;
Connect your Nokia S40, S60 or Nokia Belle phone to your PC using the USB cable.
After Nokia Suite is started and your phone shows as connected select Tools>Upload to SkyDrive and follow the on screen instructions. If you do not have one yet you will have to create a Microsoft account which has a SkyDrive attached to it. You can create such account here.
You will now have to reset your Nokia Lumia Windows Phone. Doing so will erase all content from the phone and return it to it's 'out of the box' state. Make sure you have synced any media files to your PC (Zune for WP7.x devices / copy them through explorer on WP8.x devices) or Mac(Connector). You can sync these back after the reset. When finished reset your Nokia Lumia Windows Phone using Settings>about>reset your phone.
Go through the Device First Use sequence and when asked enter your Microsoft Account used to save the content from Nokia Suite. When the setup has finished your will find your contacts, calendar and photos have all transferred to your Lumia. These will also be available through your Microsoft account through the web interface. The list of installed (paid) apps is also restored and the phone will start downloading these once the restore is complete. You can switch to WiFi for this if you have access.
It is important to note this transfer will only work to the Nokia Lumia at the Device First Use sequence (after a reset). If you have your Lumia setup it will not look for or sync the information copied to SkyDrive through Nokia Suite.
SMS message can not be transferred directly, but you can export all messages in Nokia Suite (Messaging>File/Export all text messages) and open the resulting Comma Separated File (.csv) in Excel or OpenOffice Calc to create an Excel sheet (.xls file) this can then be copied to your SkyDrive and opened from the Office app. You could also use a tool to create separate files from the exported .CSV file and copy all of these to SkyDrive.
If a Microsoft Exchange server is used an Outlook account is created on the Lumia. This is done through 'Settings > email + accounts >add an account > Outlook'. The following settings are required. Usually these can be obtained from the system administrator for the Exchange server:
Mail address
User name (usually the same as the login name for the business PC)
Password (usually the same as the password for the business PC)
The Microsoft Exchange server Domain
The address for the Microsoft Exchange server
If Microsoft Outlook is used for private mail account(s) the Outlook Hotmail Connector needs to be installed to synchronize with the primary Microsoft Account and with the Lumia.
The mail account needs to be set up as a separate mail account through:
'Settings > email + accounts >add an account > other account'
More information on setting up a mail account can be found here.
A useful tool for setting up the Outlook Hotmail Connector can be found here.
Additional Microsoft support pages for contacts and calendar.
If Windows Mail, a part of Windows Essentials, is used contacts, calendar and tasks are synchronized directly with the Lumia as long as you log in to Windows Mail using the same primary Microsoft Account as the one which is used on the Lumia. Contacts and/or calendar can be imported in to Windows Mail as follows:
Microsoft Windows 7 contacts, Microsoft Windows Vista contacts (and calendar)
Open Windows live mail
Go to contacts
Click on import
Import from current Windows user
Mozilla Thunderbird
Use the Hotmail extension for Thunderbird
Export contacts and import into Windows Mail

I cannot get GPS Only to work on my ipad3 (4g version, but not on an active cell plan, and wifi off). Is there some new requirement in 7.1 or 7.1.1 to have cell and/or wifi enabled for GPS to work? I am testing with MotionX

It seems like I cannot get GPS only to work on my ipad3 (4g version, but not on an active cell plan, and wifi off). Is there some new requirement in 7.1 or 7.1.1 to have cell and/or wifi enabled for GPS to work? I am testing with MotionX, garmin blueChart mobile, and a GPS monitoring tool. All show no signal. If I turn on cell and wifi, it says I get gps signal, but can't tell if that is from the GPS chip, or just from cell and wifi only (maybe with some gps mixed in)? Any ideas on how to get iPad working with GPS only??

Roger that. Thanks for your time.
System:
Windows 7 64bit
Processor: AMD phenom IIX4 965
RAM: Gskill Ripsaw F3-12800CL7D-4GBRM (2-2GB sticks)
GPU:EVGA Classified Nvidia GeForce GTX 560 Ti 448 core
PSU: Kingwin 1000W laser gold (LZG-1000)
Yes. tried the one ram stick, no go. I have been trying to boot off/install the windows 7 disk but am unable to get to the point where windows starts installing after its gathering information portion of the install. I can get to the disk selection screen of the install with the WD HD on SATA port 2 but then get the "cant install messages" when I try to select the Vertex 3. Yes I can see the Vertex 3 Drive as well as the WD drive at this point. some times I have to hit "scan" a couple of times.

Windows 8.1 and skype

Dear friends,
Im new to skype community , so im sorry if im mistakenly put this post in a wrong place,
Im using skype for very long time. And i bought a new laptop last year with windows 8 and i used windows desktop skype since then. Modern skype (the one we can download from windows apps store) didnt work well for me. I dont know it was slow and really slow to respond. So i used windows desktop skype for windows 8. I had no problem with it
But after that i have updated my windows 8 to windows 8.1 and now both skype types are not working (desktop and modern skype ).
The desktop skype always says you have "internet connection problem" which i dont have. There is no any internet problem with me. Im saying this coz my mobile phone skype is working well in same wifi network (home wifi network). At the same time i can watch Youtube videos in my laptop. So laptop also dont have any internet connection problem .
So i dont really find what is wrong with my skype. here is my skype calling procedure
I m rining my friend
then he answer the video call
then after 30 s or one minute time it says internet connection problem ,
it automatically rining back or something like that happen.
then i disconnect the line and get the call back again.
and same thing happen over and over again
Please help meeeeeeeee

Hi
After the Windows 8.1 upgrade you should update and reinstall the Toshiba driver and tools which were released for Windows 8.1.
Did you do that?
If not, update the software to Windows 8.1 compliant version.
Also Skype reinstallation would be very good idea.
Uninstall the pervious installed version, reboot the notebook, install skype again and check the skype configuration!

Hi. I have updated my computer to Windows 8.1 and now suddenly my Apple TV can not find it. It says that home sharing is not on, but it is. This was working perfect beofre the upgrade.

Hi. I have updated my computer to Windows 8.1 and now suddenly my Apple TV can not find the computer, it says "turn on the home sharing". Both of these are on, iTunes and Apple TV, what to do? It was working perfect before update.
Thanks in advance.

Make sure the firewall and wifi router is not blocking it you can likely see if its the wifi router by connecting by etherent cable that would mean itsopen in terms of ports

IPod and iPad Wifi download speed greatly diminished

My iPad4 and IPod Touch 5 download speed is 500KB/s and upload speed is 8Mb/s, whereas my laptop's download speed is 20MB/s. Any suggestions on how to increase my iOs devices WiFi download speed? I have tried changing DNS to the several suggested on the forum to to avail. I am using Speedtest on all three devices. I am on Comcast using their Arris TG862 Gateway.

Jason,
Thanks for the advise,however, no joy.
I followed your instructions to the letter as if I was setting it up for the first time.
My windows laptop, ipad and iPod all get great download and upload speeds when within 6-8 feet of router/modem.
Upon moving all three outside of that range, like 10 feet down the hall, my laptop continues to perform but apple devices slow down to as low as 500kbs down but still have 7Mbs uploading. Prior the start of this situation 3 weeks ago,
I could use my ipad to stream Netflix in the garage on the other side of the house with 3 walls and a metal fire door in between.
I may be paranoid, but it seems like since the law regarding "throttling" passed, my Apple products are affected. When I use SpeedTest on my ipad, the download speed starts out at 10Mb/s then slows down to a crawl. It is like it is saying "Oh, and iOs device, let's slow it down."
This as detailed as I can get. Any further ideas?
I do have a Netgear high speed router that was replaced with the combination device provided by Comcast.
I have read about calling Comcast and requesting to be put into bridge mode. What do you think?
Thanks,
Mark

Connecting AirPort Extreme to my Windows desktop PC and MacBook

First I'd like to mention that I'm a brand new user of Macs so please excuse my ignorance. Is it at all possible to hook up my Windows PC and my Macbook Pro to the Airport Extreme so they can both share the same internet connection? I'm also pretty sure my Windows desktop PC is NOT Wifi ready. Help...thanks.
Macbook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Yes you can connect your PC via ethernet and your MBP can connect through ethernet or WiFi.

Why do I get this annoying windows every now and then?

A window pops up and goes away quick. I went to Console and looked at a log when the window came on and off I quickly went there and the las thing was the massage below. what is it about? its a new Mac book pro retina.
*** WARNING: Method userSpaceScaleFactor in class NSWindow is deprecated on 10.7 and later. It should not be used in new applications. Use convertRectToBacking: instead

I ended up resetting everything, it turns out that my Thunderbolt connections were not even working when I plugged in the ethernet adapter and I wasn't able to reinstall Mountain Lion so I used wifi and it worked. It took about 7 hours but it got rid of all issues.

Access Connections 5.02 and Intel WiFi Link 5300 AGN

Has somebody else come across that the new Access Connections 5.02 is incompatible with the Intel's 5300 AGN Wlan card deployed in ThinkPad T400? I have verified that the right driver (newest => 12.00.4000) is installed for the card in Windows XP, newest Access Connections software (5.02), Power Management Driver (/ACPI => v1.50) and Hotkey (v2.08.2008) utility.
We use Microsoft's RIS to deploy Windows workstations with Windows XP SP3 and creating the image for our one and only T400 has been, to put mildly, tricky.
The problem is that Access Connections (triggered through Fn+F5) is not able to power off or power on the WLAN card. It is able to work with the Bluetooth radio, but not the WLAN.
Going through the README for Access Connections reveals T400 is one of the supported models, but Intel WiFi Link 5300 is not mentioned in the wireless adapter list. 5100 is, but not 5300. Now I'm not sure if the Lenovo's documentation is just not up-to-date, or what?
Has anyone else been affected by this? The laptop came pre-installed with Vista SP1, but I did not even bother to load it even once, since I always just start creating RIS image for new ThinkPad models.

The 5300 is definitely listed on some of the standard T400 configurations, and is also a selectable option on the CTO configurations, so there is no doubt that the 5300 should be a supported card for the T400.

It's your call what you do, but my advice is to always fire up the vendor installed environment for any new configuration that comes to hand and make sure that everything works as expected before blowing it away with some other SOE.
That establishes a baseline for what may or not be workable, which is an essential element for later troubleshooting in a custom OS load.

Bill
