Windows 8.1 do not show DISCONNECT option for VPN, why? bug? Please fix!!!

I created a VPN connection. Once I connected to the VPN in Windows 8.1, it does not show DISCONNECT option when I click on the VPN again. It just keep showing CONNECT option only. Why? This has to be a bug! Please fix!

Hi Dan5678,
Is the connection an incoming VPN connection?
If yes, then you may take a look at the KB article below:
How to disconnect an incoming VPN connection in Windows 8 and in Windows Server 2012
To disconnect an incoming VPN connection, follow these steps:
Open Network Connections. To do this, use either of the following methods:
Swipe in from the right edge of the screen, or point to the lower-right corner of the screen, and then click Search. Then, type ncpa.cpl, and then click the Ncpa.cpl icon.
Press Win+R to open the Run window, type ncpa.cpl, and then click
OK.
Right-click the incoming VPN connection that you want to disconnect, and then click
Status.
On the General tab, click Disconnect.
Close Network Connections.
Hope this may be helpful.
Regards

My mini with IOS 7.0.6 is not showing an option for wish list in the options. What is happening?

My mini with IOS 7.0.6 is not showing an option for wish list in the options. What is happening?

The three Rs to IOS, try them in order until the issue is resolved;
Restart - Press and hold the Power button until the red Power Off stripe appears. Swipe to power off. Press and hold the Power button to turn the device back on.
Reset - Press & hold the Power and Home buttons simultaneously, ignoring the red power off slider, until the Apple logo appears. Then release both buttons.
Restore - Connect the device to the Mac or PC with which it is usualy synced and use the iTunes app to restore the device to the factory settings. You can then restore the device with a previously made backup or set it up as new.

Windows 8.1 pro pptp vpn does not show disconnect option

I just installed Windows 8.1 PRO on my PC.
Formatted it, installed right from scratch.
Once I created my login, I then created a connection to my office VPN server.
Office VPN server is a ISA server which allows PPTP based VPN.
Well, I am able to connect and do everything that I want.
But I dont see a DISCONNECT option at all.
The metro interface after the connection is made also does not show status as "connected". It shows "connect" instead.
If you go to network and sharing center and then into adapter settings you can see you VPN connection. but the "status" column does not show "connected" but instead shows the same name of the vpn connection as seen in the "Name"
column!!
Right clicking that active connection does not show "disconnect", but shows "connect/disconnect".
Then I realized that after double clicking that VPN connection you can then see the status window, where a disconnect button does exists and clicking that does disconnect the VPN.
But this is crazy.
Why do we now have to go so deep, just to disconnect!
This never happens in windows 7, windows 7 with SP1, Windows 8
This is new to Windows 8.1
Anyone else seen this? Is there a solution ?

AirPort Express Not Showing as Option for Playback

I have an AirPort Express (new with latest firmware) connected to my Wireless LAN (802.11g). Both of my computers can see it (that is, I can access it from the configuration utility), however, when I load iTunes it will not show as a playback option (pulldown on bottom of iTunes screen) on one computer, unless I first ping the IP of the AirPort. Sometimes this works, sometimes not. Note that iTunes is not loaded on the other computer at the time and I do not have a firewall between the computers on the LAN. I am using WEP encryption, but I've entered the key successfully on both computers and on the AirPort. I've also opened the specified port (5353?) on my router, although that shouldn't matter, as I'm not trying to route outside my LAN.
As mentioned I have latest AirPort firmware and iTunes upgrades loaded on both Windows XP computers, as well as SP2.
Ideas or suggestions?

Various - Mac & Windows XP Windows XP Pro

i assume your airport extreme base station (AEBS) is you main router and you want the airport express (AX) join the network provided by the AEBS.
you could try this:
unplug and re-plug the airport express (AX), then click on the airport icon in your menu bar. you should see something like "Apple network bj1234567" or similar (it may take a little while for it to show up). in order to set up the express, you will have to temporarily join its network ! you will get a message asking +do you really want to switch networks ?+ and you do want to do that.
launch airport utility (AU). you should see the AX on the left. click on the icon of the AX once to highlight it and click continue. follow onscreen instructions and, when prompted, choose to +join an existing network+ and enter the required information for your network.
any help ?

Installed LR 3.2, and export does not show any options for exporting to Smugmug, Facebook etc

I fresh installed LR 3.2 on a Windows 7 computer to try out tethering (which worked fine), but then tried to export the photos, but I don't have any options for exporting to non-harddrive based locations. The "export to" drop down at the top of the export page only has "hard drive" in it. The plugin manager says that plugins for SmugMug, Facebook, etc are all enabled.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks!
Mike

I found too that the publishing services work differently than the plug-ins. Not as intuitive, but work well just the same, For me I had to do the "set-up" for the Facebook publishing service a couple of times. I think this may have more to do with the Facebook security settings than with LR.

IPhone4 Dock Connector Not Showing As Option For Sound Output

Hey All,
I'm using an iPhone 4 Dock Connector to output sound (via 3.5 mm cable) to a stereo. This has been working for over 5 months, but all of a sudden it doesn't show up as an option for output from the AirPlay button.
I tried a friend's 4S and it worked for him. I also cleaned out the pin connector area on the iPhone as there was a small amount of lint in there (from being in my pocket), but that didn't fix the problem either.
Any suggestions would be welcomed.
Thanks!

Not showing "transfer" option for iPod Shuffle to other computer

I have two authorized computers-a Windows XP (the first) and a Windows Vista I just authorized with iTunes 8. My iPod Shuffle works with the first computer (the XP) and will connect with it, but with the Vista, it only shows the "erase and sync" and "cancel" options in the pop-up box when I plug it in to my computer. How do I fix this problem?

If it helps, the computer it is not working on is a Toshiba Satellite.

HT4928 My Mac App Store account page does not show any options for unhiding purchases.

I purchased Mountain Lion and want to re-download it to make a flash drive, but it does not appear in my purchase history. Clicking Option-Purchases doesn't change anything, and my Mac App Store account info page does not have anything regarding hidden purchases, although my iTunes account info page does. They are using the same Apple ID.

Select which apps you want to re download. Then right or control click where you see Installed then click Install.
Make sure and use the same Apple ID used for the original purchase.

I am using Windows XP on my laptop. Had to format the C drive. I have reinstalled iTunes but I am unable to add anything other than music, TV shows and movies to the iTunes library. It is not showing any option to add podcasts, books, photos or apps.

I had to format the C drive recently. I have reinstalled iTunes but I am unable to add anything other than music, TV shows and movies to the iTunes library. It is not showing any option to add podcasts, books, photos or apps. These things are available on my iPhone but are no longer there in the iTunes library. Please help.

In iTunes go to general preferences and check the boxes for those you wish to see in the library.

Windows (tool) panels are not showing.

Windows (tool) panels are not showing, or letting me use most of the tool features. e.g. when I klick windows>align but no align window shows up, even though it is ticked in the 'Windows' drop down menu. This is the second time this has happened since subscribing. Help!

Sam,
It may be time for the list.
The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file (you may have tried/done some of them already); 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
If possible/applicable, you should save curent artwork first, of course.
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to 3 times);
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

My photostream in windows 7 PC does not shows any pic. when i click on slide show it start showing me slide shows of pic but when i try to copy files i cant do as no photo is viewd in list mode. This problem has arised since IOS is updated.I reinstalled my icloud and checked if icloud sharing is ON. I can see pic in my photo stream in PC only in slide show mode. While in list mode it shows pics before i actually click on photostream folder. My phone memory is out becose of bunch of photoes. How do i copy my photostream photoes.

Hi all. I can’t tell you how to solve your iCloud 3.x issues. Heck, I don’t think they’re even solvable.
But if you had a previous version of iCloud that was working correctly then I can definitely tell you how to solve the “iCloud Photo Stream is not syncing correctly to my Windows 7 PC” problem. …without even a re-boot.
Log out of iCloud 3.0 and uninstall it.
Open My Computer and then open your C:\ drive. Go to Tools/Folder Options and click on the View tab. Select the “Show hidden…” radio button and click on OK.
Open the Users folder.
Open your user folder
Open ProgramData (previously hidden folder)
Open the Apple folder – not the Apple Computer folder.
Open the Installer Cache folder
In Details view sort on Name
Open the folder for the newest entry for iCloud Control Panel 2.x – probably 2.1.2.8 dated 4/25/2013
Right click on iCloud64.msi and select Install.
When finished, the synching between iCloud and your PC will be back to working perfectly as before the 3.0 fiasco. The pictures will be synched to the same Photostream folder as before the “upgrade”. Now all you need to do is wait until Apple/Microsoft get this thing fixed and working before you try the 3.x upgrade again.
I think the iCloud 3.0 software was written by the same folks who wrote healthcare.gov with the main difference being that healthcare.gov might eventually be made to work.
For those of you who hate to go backwards, think of it as attacking to the rear. Which would you rather have, the frustration of no synching or everything working on an older version?
Good luck…

ASk in the DW firum and be much more specific. Web page rendering issues are specific to specific versions of browsers and you may simply be using some bad code that messes up your page.

How do I get the none button to pop up so u don't have to have a credit card for apps? I owe nothing for apps from Apple, NOTHING!? And it still does not show the option "none". If it helps the card I have is a debit.

I'm happy you figured it out and just try to keep in mind that not everyone you talk to at support will give the same advice or have the same knowledge. Just like those who contribute to these forums. Sometimes Google is your best friend.
I agree that Apple could probably make it easier, but as of yet prefer security over freedom. (sound famaliar?)

Hello Bhagyeshree
Check out the articles below to troubleshoot issues with connecting to Wi-Fi. Start with creating a new Network Location and then search for a Wi-Fi network and if that does not work, then go through second article to troubleshoot the issue further.
