Wireless connection on x41 - can't get it to work

Hello
I have just bought a used x41 laptop - it came with no OS, so i have put XP on and am currently trying to set up all the drivers.
it's going ok, apart from i cannot get the wirless connection to work.
I stil have a yellow exclamation in the Device Manager next to the Network Controller - does anyone know where i can get the driver for this to work. (I also have a yellow exclamation for an unknown device ?).
I have installed the drivers from the ibm website for hte wireless lan, but just can't get the wireless to work.
any help would be very much appreciated.
thanks
sarah

I can not get my facetime to work. I have a wireless connection but I can not get my facetime to work

I can not get my facetime to work. I have a wireless connection but it is not working.

Doublechecking, Jensen. What's the precise text of your error message, please? (There's a few different ones I can think of that you might be getting.)

C4580 All-In-One suddenly lost wireless connection and I can't get it back.

I have a replacement C4580 after HP replaced the old one because of their dmaned regionalisation of printers.
It has been working fine through my wireless router, and I have been able to use it wirelessly on 2 different laptops, one running XP and the other running Win 7. both have the printer showing as USB and wirless, normally being used wirelessly. THhe USB is there 'just in case' like now apparently.
It seems that my wireless printer has disappeared from my Printers and Faxes in the XP machine, so I try to add it again. Can't detect any printers, so when it asks to be connected via USB it appears to be going through the setup, then I get Error #201 VSA.
Googled for an answer but haven't found anything useful. Seen a couple which suggest that the router is hiding the SSID (it's not) or that MAC filtering is being used. Again, it's not.
I went to the Win7 machine, and it shows the wireless and USB printers (2 versions of the same thing) but when I attempt to print a test page tot the wireless version, it says that it has been sent, and I can see it in the printer queue, but after a while I get Error-Printing which in typical HP software is as usual bloody useless as it doesn't tell you why it failed, or where to even start looking to correct whatever error there was.
I have altered nothing on any of the computers (knowingly, anyway) and both laptops communicate quite happily with the outside world through the wirless router.
I really am getting rather pi**ed off with HP and their latest software. I had a PSC 1210 prior to this and no problems with it at all. The hardware seems fine but the latest software leaves a lot to be desired.
Any ideas anyone, on what has happened here, and how it can be fixed - or do I just cut my losses and buy another printer, this time anything but HP - unless they're all doing the same sort of stuff.
I have tried turning the wireless function off and then on on the printer, but also no difference.
Additional info. As suggested in another post somewhere, I have done both a Network Configuration and a Wireless Network Test printout. The test report shows PASS against both Wireless On and Wireless Working, and FAIL against Network Name (SSID) Found, but then shows the Network Name (SSID) correctly under Configuration Summary!
The configuration page shows Netwok Status as offline, and under 802.11 Wireless it gives a MAc address then Status as Disabled.
I don't really know what it is trying to tell me?
Oh, accidentally I printed 2 Configuration pages. On one it says that the 802.11 Status is Disabled and on the other it says that it is Disconnected. Unfortunately, I don't know which one was done first. The Disconnected one may have been done when I turned the wireless off. Nope, I just did again with Wireless turned on (at least the light is showing) and it still showing as Disconnected.

Hi there KR,
Sorry to hear the reset is not working for you on your PS C4580. The steps for the reset are all correct and should have worked if the printer is in good functioning order.
I would suggest calling in to HP directly to see what your options are with them.
If you decide to call them, this is their contact info:
If you are calling within North America, the number is 1-800-474-6836 and for all other regions: click here.

I have a Yamaha RX-V673 which is Airplay enabled, but i can't get Airplay to work either on my Mac book or my iphone. The receiver is connected to my network and i can control it using the iphone App and via the web browser option.
Do I need Apple TV or to change some settings somewhere?
Any help would be greatly appreciated

You are making some progress with setup of wireless network. Apparently there is reliability problem with the wireless connection. Perhaps you want to refer to following Apple support documents and start tweaking parameters in the router to improve the reliability. I used to have third-party routers such as Belkin and Netgear but switched to Apple Airport routers (Time Capsule then Airport Extreme for now) because of incompatibility issues whenever Apple upgrade Mac OS X. But since Apple develops Airplay protocol as alternative to Bluetooth for wireless audio/video streaming (with much better bandwidth) and must be deployed in any wireless network, there is no reason third-party routers not working for Airplay protocol.

My WiFi is connected but I can't get connected to internet on my Ipad

My Wifi is connected but I can't get connected to the internet on my Ipad.

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
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

Welcome to the Apple Community.
The iPad 1 is only able to do basic AirPlay, many providers of programming have blocked their apps from working with AirPlay.

As long as you use your Apple ID to purchase it, I don't see why they wouldn't let you download the installer on one of their Macs and put it on a pocket drive.
Or, a friend with a high speed connection?
I agree with you about the delivery method, just trying to help you get what you want.

Cdemu - can't get it to work (can't connect do dbus, no cdemu module)

Hi all! As the topic subject says, I can't get cdemu to work.
I'm trying to use it to mount some .mdf images (wanna play Diablo 2 again, and I really don't wanna use the CDs for this).
So here goes. First I tried mounting the .mdf image with cdemu, like this...
cdemu load 0 01.Install.mdf
I get an error message:
ERROR: Failed to connect to CDEmu daemon: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name net.sf.cdemu.CDEMUD_Daemon was not provided by any .service files
ERROR: Failed to connect to daemon (bus: 'session')!
So I found somewhere that I should compile the cdemu-daemon and cdemu-client...
yaourt -Sb --noconfirm cdemu-daemon cdemu-client
now, cdemu-daemon compiles fine, but cdemu-client doesn't seem to compile. what I get as an error is this:
Byte-compiling python modules...
__init__.pycdemu.py File "/usr/lib/python3.1/site-packages/cdemu/cdemu.py", line 128
except dbus.DBusException, e:
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
The full output is in the pastebin.
So anyway, cdemu client installs (althought the success of this is obviously questionable at best), and when I try mounting an image, I (probably as expected) get this:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/cdemu", line 23, in <module>
import cdemu, cdemu.cdemu
ImportError: No module named cdemu
A little more digging revealed that cdemu-client is still compiled against python2 rather than python3, so that would probably be the reason why my compile fails.
I would be very grateful if someone could tell me how to get this thing to work. And if I can help compiling this package properly, please do tell me how.
Thanks in advance!

Yes and yes.

Hello,
I am currently an owner of an Ipod Touch 4th generation. I see you are having problems with your Ipod Touch, so I will try to find a solution to your problem.
Hold down the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10sec. or until Apple logo appears (Nothing will be lost, this is just a "Hard Reset")
Hope that helps!
If none of the above solutions work, can you please respond back ASAP as I will try to find another solution to your problem (This might even help others with the same problem!)
Cheers!

Help would be much appreciated!

If you are getting the connect to iTunes screen then it's too late to take a new backup and/or copy anything off it. Prior to starting the update did you take a backup, either to the cloud and/or to your computer's iTunes ? If not then have you recently taken a backup that might have your photos and apps content/settings in it ?
As long as the apps are still in your country's store then you should be able to redownload them via the Purchased tab in the App Store app (and the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage on your computer's iTunes), and if the apps store their content on a server/cloud service then you might be able to get their content back from that - if they store their content on the device then you will need to have a backup.
For our photos you could try doing a search for programs that claim to be able to recover content from a device - I haven't used any so I can't suggest one.
