Wireless @ Boot-up, Ndiswrapper, BCM4318, Worked properly before

The title pretty much explains err... all of it.
I am using Arch64, my wireless network has ALWAYS worked at boot. Now it just hangs there, I've changed WIRELESS_TIMEOUT to 100, I sat there being bored (no effect).
I am using the newest ndiswrapper and I am connecting using ifconfig/iwlist/iwconfig.
I have no idea why it has stopped working properly!

Wireless Mighty Mouse won't work properly with MacBook/tech support stumped

Hi. First post. Anyone heard of this problem? Appears to be location-sensitive. Problem described below, but first, short background...
Just bought entire Mac system after decades in corporate world with PC. Believed the TV ads that it would be simple. Already have been back to Mac store 6 times and have spent roughly 7 hours on phone with help line. Mac store even replaced Macbook entirely in case it was faulty logic board/Bluetooth circuit -- didn't help. Also, problem doesn't happen in store. So, to get to the point:
Wireless Mighty Mouse doesn't work properly when hooked up to Macbook -- herky-jerky, slow, unresponsive, sluggish, imprecise, intermittently better/worse. Went through a few Mighty Mouses and finally gave up; now using hardwire mouse and there's no problem. But before I return Mighty Mouse for refund, would like to see if there's a solution b/c I'd prefer wireless.
System is the latest little souped-up Macbook, 23" HD Cinema external monitor, external wireless Apple keyboard (which works fine), wireless Mighty Mouse (the culprit), Airport Express, HP printer. All brand new from local Mac store (Fifth Avenue, New York)... where the Genius counter folks have given up. I'm not convinced they believe me because (a) the problem doesn't occur there, and (b) after a couple of new Mighty Mouses, they finally just gave me a new Macbook to make me go away... but after going through the whole system setup once again, same problem. Have tried many different mousepads, BTW.
Tried all the stuff phone tech support suggested -- removing/installing/reinstalling software, etc. Airport works fine; using modem and printer connections there. Bluetooth works fine with keyboard. I've scouted around for intefering devices; even unplugged electrostatic loudspeakers and old tubed amps in living room (concrete wall separates rooms), unplugged hifi in same room, etc. On 40th floor of Manhattan hi-rise; concrete walls between neighbors. Have never had interference before with anything; previous PC system worked fine with Microsoft wireless (optical) mouse.
This is no longer urgent because hardwired Apple mouse works well. It's just mysterious.
Any thoughts?
Other than that, I like the Mac environment so far. Fifth Avenue store is cool, also, because it's open 24/7.

Hey, thanks! That was fast. I'm impressed by the Mac community.
This program helped my hardwired mouse, actually, and did give me wider parameters on the wireless mouse, but it didn't correct the herky-jerky/sluggishness -- actually amplified those problems.

Wireless Keyboard Delete Key not working properly

Recently, my wireless keyboard's delete key has been malfunctioning. Instead of erasing right to left, it deletes left to right. This is without pressing other buttons such as the fn key. Also, the left and right keys do not move the cursor properly such as in the address bar. They only move the page up and down. It works normally right at start up and after I restart the computer but after a few minutes it goes back. Is there a problem with my settings or the keyboard itself? Thank you for your help!

Hello:
I do not know of a setting that would do that - especially intermittently.
I would suspect the KB is failing/has failed.

I hooked an external hard drive into the '09 macbook, but when it's in the usb, it has a pop up that says the disk cannot be read, then brings me to disk utility. I have no idea why it wont read the external drive, as it has worked properly before.

I have an external drive with old music files (about 127GB worth) and I was hoping to put them onto my laptop. I hook it into the USB port, and it pops up an error message saying the Disk cannot be read. This is strange, because the drive was hooked up before and worked perfectly fine. It sends me to Disk Utility and says that It must be repaired, but when I click repair, it wants me to back up anything I can (which I cannot at all, none of the files are on right now) and erase it and repair. I have no idead why it's doing this, any help?

I cannot find this 300GB "Backup" in the Finder, only in the Storage info when I check "About This Mac".
You are probably using Time Machine to backup your MacBook Pro, right? Then the additional 300 GB could be local Time Machine snapshots. Time Machine will write the hourly backups to the free space on your hard disk, if the backup drive is temporarily not connected. You do not see these local backups in the Finder, and MacOS will delete them, when you make a regular backup to Time Machine, or when you need the space for other data.
See Pondini's page for more explanation: What are Local Snapshots? http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html
I have restarted my computer, but the information remains the same. How do I reclaim the use of the 300GB? Why is it showing up as "Backups" when it used to indicate "Photos"? Are my photos safe on the external drive?
You have tested the library on the external drive, and so your photos are save there.
The local TimeMachine snapshot probably now contains a backup of the moved library. Try, if connecting your Time Machine drive will reduce the size of your local Time Machine snapshots.

My Boot Camp won't work properly on my Macmini

My macmini has bootcamp, but bootcamp says I need 10 GBs of free space, I have20 GBs of free space and it still win't reconize it!

20GB is never going to cut it, that is bare enough free space for just Mac OS to function.
XP use to be able to fit into 10GB - more like 15GB though - but that isn't supported or what you are planning to use as only Windows 7+ is supported. And that takes 32GB+ and more AND still have 20-25% and 20-30GB free available still for OS X.
You need to swap in a larger hard drive for this.

Mac Mini Graphics Not Working Properly

I have two Mac Minis (a July 2009 model and a June 2010 model) that have recently began having video problems.
The problem started on my newer machine which has two Samsung monitors attached, sometime after the last Snow Leopard update.
Last week, the second, older machine which is connected to only a Panasonic LCD HDTV, began having the same issue.
The problem is that the actual screen resolution being run does not match the settings in the System Preferences. It looks like the graphics controller is actually running at 640x480 or 800x600 or something where everything is big but the OS (Snow Leopard or Lion) still thinks it is running at 720p or some other high resolution. So the OS reports that everything is fine even though it is very obvious, things are not OK.
When I move the mouse to the side the desktop scrolls around on the screen. it is like having a window into my desktop.
Changing the screen resolution in Hardware-Displays does not work nor does the detect display button. On the TV for instance, the Displays panel reports 720p even though it is clear that what is on the screen is nowhere near 720p. It makes videos on the TV look really bad and it makes it hard to navigate around the desktop. I can't even fit the entire browser into the sceen.
I had hoped that upgrading to Lion on the machine hooked to the TV would fix the problem, but It did not. Lion displays the same problem. I have not tried putting Lion on the newer Mac Mini yet.
I did find a workaround for the newer one with the Samsung displays – by using fast user switching, sometimes the proper graphics resolution will come up right on the second or third try/user. And if I do get it working properly and the monitor goes to sleep, it will screw the resolution up again when it wakes up, even if it was working properly before. I have temporarily turned off sleep but this is not a good option for me.
Does anyone have any idea what might be wrong or how I could fix it?
Thanks!
Patrick T.

TS3581 I recently updated my Iphone 5 to the latest software. Now when I connect to my car audio with the hotwire USB it will not display or play my music. It worked fine before the update. Is there a setting I don't know about with the new software?

I Updated my Iphone 5 and now it will not play or display in my car. I use the apple hotwire to USB to charge and play music in my car. It worked before the update. Is there a setting in the new software that needs adjusting ?

I have a similar problem. Prior to the 7.0.3 update my iPod touch worked properly and I could see the music folders, playlists and music lists. However, after the update it no longer works - I cannot see the playlists, the names are blank.
I do not believe your response properly answers the issue at hand. If the iPod worked properly before the update then it should work properly afterward. With the response and link above it appears it is Apple's stance that it is the radio manufacturer to make the radio work with every update. That is backwards and, in my opinion, irresponsible.
It should be Apples responsibility to make sure that the functionality of the device is the same both before and after an update. If they cannot do that then they should make it easy for the user to downgrade or uninstall the update to regain the previous functionality, at least until Apple can resolve the issue their update created.

After migration all my Data from my old imac to my new macbook pro (both running on OS Maverick) with migration assistant, the trackpad of the new macbook pro doesn´t work properly any more.

But now the trackpad feature of scrolling up and down with two fingers doesn´t work. (Other features are ok.)
I have tried to change the trackpad settings, but still doesn´t work.
Can anyone help me???

IPod Touch: apps (facebook, twitter, facetime) don't work properly with my wireless internet having worked perfectly before. Help needed!

I got my iPod Touch 4g for Christmas 2011 and for the first 2 weeks everything worked fine - I could download apps; use apps to their full potential; use FaceTime; use everything.
But after the two weeks, the iPod decided to no longer work as well as it had promised. First of all, it would take more than 2 hours to download a single app from the app store and then, straight after that, I couldn't connect to FaceTime (it had worked perfectly before). Then, finally, to top it all off - Facebook and Twitter stopped working on occasions. For example, I couldn't post/send messages or photos on Twitter and at the majority of the time, the News Feeds wouldn't load.
Sometimes everything works but most of the time it doesn't. I've tried my iPod at every time of the day and it makes no difference - nothing still works! Also, I don't think it is the fault of my wireless internet because I've had an iPod touch before and it worked perfectly, and the laptop that I am writing this question on also works perfectly with wifi.
The weird thing is that I have used my iPod to its full potential (everything worked fine) at my friends hosue on multiple occasions - using his wifi. I am really lost for ideas for what to do - I have uninstalled all the apps that don't work with the internet (facebook, twitter) and have always made sure that I have closed apps after using them, so that my iPod wouldn't run slow.
My iPod has been like this for over a month now, help would be appreciated

I am trying to add a wireless printer to my MacBook Pro. It was working properly until we had to get a new modem. I have gone through the steps with the printer customer service rep, and it was working properly for one day. When I booted up the next morning, the printer was no longer "connected". It will work if I have the printer and computer connected, but I much prefer the wireless capability. Suggestions? The printer is a Brother MFC7860DW. The other laptop in the house (Dell) can print wirelessly so I don't think it's an issue with the modem or the printer.

Port forwarding and DMZ refuses to work properly on WRT54G wireless router.

I have a network setup on the wireless WRT54G version 8 (with latest firmware) router and port forwarding and DMZ refuse to work correctly. I'm trying to use bittorrent and connect my xbox360 to my computer and neither work properly even after setting up port forwarding in the "Applications and Gaming" tab.
here's a screenshot of my port forwarding page:

here's a screenshot of the DMZ page (my computer's IP ends in 102 obviously):
http://img510.imageshack.us/img510/2131/linksys1rf5.jpg
now, I've experienced this type of problem before. On a different linksys router a year or 2 back I remember the DMZ never working on that one either and I eventually had to buy a d-link router which worked perfectly. I'm only using this wireless router because it's my roommates and he brought it up. Somebody please explain to me why this isn't working correctly. I am becoming more and more frustrated as I lose faith in linksys routers. Thanks

Did you tired upgrade of the firmware on the router??
Also after upgrade reset & reconfigure the router for few seconds ... so that the firmware works properly for longer time ....

Wireless (ndiswrapper) quit working, no errors

I recently put Arch Linux on my laptop, installed the cvs version of ndiswrapper and setup my Broadcom (ick) wireless (using the stock kernel 2.6 ide). Everything worked fine so I updated my packages with pacman and made a custom kernel (2.6.11). I then recompiled ndiswrapper after reboot and everything went fine as far as reconfiguration goes. When I loaded the module my wireless light came on briefly and then turned off, however dmesg and iwconfig showed everything to be operational without any errors noted. When I tried to set the essid with iwconfig the output showed it was ignored (keeyping it set to off/any). iwlist wlan0 scan shows no results.
I tried reverting back to the stock kernel and recompiling ndiswrapper but still got the same results. I assume this is a package I upgraded that may be causing this? I tried re-installing wireless_tools and nothing changed (the latest is what comes with Arch .07 anyway).
Any ideas? I'm stumped, thanks for any help.

Yes.. ndiswrapper and the rt2750 driver from http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com/ quit working. The later crashing the kernel.
I've tried on both the stock arch kernel, and a custom 2.6.12.3.
Again, the wireless drivers were working correctly *before* .. and after a pacman -Syu and restart, they stopped (leading me to believe some package altered something critical). I've also tested against 4K and 8K kernel stack sizes.

Welcome to the  discussion forums.
Try going to synching in the sources menu on your tv and selecting 'change itunes library', when it gives you the passcode check itunes to see if the tv is showing up as a new device, if so try entering the pass code. It may be that your tv is seeing itunes as a different library because of a recent upgrade.
