Wireless connection working on and off

Hello all
in desperate need of help!
using Lenovo 3000 N200, Windows Vista Premium 32 bit.
Wireless router: Edimax, g, WEP Hexadecimal security.
My wireless can't connect to router, unless it does so after disconnecting from a different network. After windows connection manager failed to work, Lenovo support suggested I use access connection. I have defined my home network, and try to cennect. if I click "Connect", I see the system can't get IP address, suggesting that the password is probably wrong, BUT if I first connect to an open network (no WEP key required) and then disconnect through modem icon on tray, access connections automatically connect to the home router and works perfwctly.
Lenovo Support in Israel has proven completely useless in solving this problem, does anyone have any idea why it's happening and how can I fix it? the coffee shop is closing and soon I will not be able to "connect and disconnect in order to connect" trick, it is getting serious.
thank you

For my settings it's still have a lot of IP address available it just couldn't connect to the router at all. it's happen to some unknown brand of the router and not problem like the WIFI is not working. I tried to reset the routers and everything but it's still not working

My iPad 2 is connected, works well and is found under "devices" on the left side of my iTunes window. But when I go into my iTunes account the iPad2 is not listed nor found to be "associated" with my account. Why not?

My iPad 2 is connected, works well and is found under "devices" on the left side of my iTunes window. However, when I go into my iTunes store account under "manage devices" the iPad2 is not listed nor found to be "associated" with my account. Why not?

Even if you put a credit or debit card on file with iTunes it will still use your balance FIRST.
I would suggest putting a card on file and testing to see if it will allow you to make a purchase, then removing the card from the account after successful download of an item.

Unable to set wireless connection with imac and Canon MX860 printer ...

I recently converted to a Mac and bought a Mac Book, iMac, Airport Extreme, and a Canon MX860 printer. i have installed the canon software numerous times on my iMac to set up the wireless connection. yes, the airport extreme recognizes the printer and i am able to connect to my private and guest networks. the signal strength is good. It's the next part that I'm always stuck at. The Printer settings does not display when i choose More Printers and select Canon IJ Network. I called Apple support and we tried changing my network settings to an unsecured network and it still has the same issue. It was recommended this may be Canon driver issue and advised me to contact Canon. I reset the Airport, changed my network name and password .. i think i tried everything and it still does not work. What was I thinking when i said i wanted to convert to Mac? I can't move forward and connect my macbook or pc yet until I successfully connect the imac. Yes, i installed the latest canon IJ Network tool. of course the USB connection is fine but that defeats the whole purpose if why i bought this printer. please advise how to fix. this is getting very frustrating.

Some help at http://store.apple.com/us/product/TV352LL/A perhaps in the comments.
And maybe at http://www.amazon.com/Canon-PIXMA-MX860-Wireless-Printer/product-reviews/B001R4C 5BK in the comments.
"I ran into the same network installation issue that I've seen in other Canon printers. Canon's network setup forces you to connect by USB cable first. Only after you tell the program that you want to use the computer over the network can you remove the USB cable, move the printer if needed, and if you're using a wired connection, reconnect a network cable. The process isn't particularly difficult, but it's more cumbersome than what other printers let you do, which is simply put the printer where you want it, plug in an Ethernet cable, and install the software." source = http://shop.pcmag.com/shop/product/pcmag/84634068.aspx?SB=6&OB=1
"MAC wireless network printer setup requires turning off firewall, and works fine if you leave firewall off (not recommended). If you set firewall at "essential connections only," wireless networked MX860 won't work. You must add MP navigator and solution apps to your firewall enabled list. Then it worked fine on the admin account, but still won't work on users account which required additional permission settings and selections. After 2 hours it worked fine, but I would've expected better instruction manual for MAC." source = http://cnet.nytimes.com/multifunction-devices/canon-pixma-mx860/4852-3181_7-3352 9769.html
"The only trouble that I have had with this machine is setting up the wireless network. The manual instructions are impossible for me to understand and I ended up having to call for assistance. Which easily solved the problem. And again when I had to reconfigure my network settings it was impossible to follow the logarithm of instructions in the manual. Again I needed to call for assistance. If I need help after the year manufacture's warranty I will be charged for these calls." source = http://www.zimbio.com/InkjetPrinter+Reviews/articles/1932/Canon+PIXMA+MX860+Wireless+One+PhotoPrinter
Even Windows people have trouble:
"I NEED INTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO CONNECT MY HP LAPTOP TO THE CANON MX860 PRINTER."
"I'm with you. I have my mx860 connected usb to my pc with the printer being shared but my wireless laptop can't find it no matter what I try."
And, unhappy Vista person:
"I had high hopes for this printer - it seemed to have it all. But the wireless feature never worked, it only worked on my gigabit network for about two weeks (only THREE print jobs including the test print), and never observed it to work via USB - Vista (x64 Ultimate) would throw an error saying it could not attach the device."

Wireless connection between computer and HP Officejet 6600 e-All-in-One Printer.

I just bought an HP Officejet 6600 e-All-in-One Printer - H711a. I want to have a wireless connection between my computer and my printer in order to place the printer in a different room. The instructions say that I need to give the name of my wireless network. Do they mean that I need a wireless internet connection? I absolutely don't want to go wireless on the internet. How do I go about this?

Replacing your wireless router now try.

Wirelessly connecting MBP, TC and homehub

I have a MBP, and time capsule and a BT Homehub. I want to connect the 3 wirelessly but am having troubles.
I don't have access to the Homehub as living in a shared house so the usual option of plugging the TC into the homehub can't work for me.
Can I use the dual-band wi-fi on the TC to achieve a wireless connection between the three? Can I use one of the wi-fi bands on the TC to connect to the Homehub and the other to connect to the MBP to give internet and backups wirelessly? So the MBP would connect to the TC's network.
Does anyone know how to set this up?

So the three can work together wirelesly but not in my desired set up?
Yes
I can wirelessly connect the TC to the homehub by setting it up to join the homehub network and then the MBP gets its internet network from the homehub and backups occur across the homehub network? So MBP backs up via the homehub?
Correct
To do this, when setting up the TC, is the join option on the same screen as create network or extend network?
Apple does not really want you to configure the Time Capsule this way, so you have to use the Manual Setup option to do this.
Open AirPort Utility - Click Manual Setup.
Click the Wireless tab below the row of icons
Hold down the option key on your Mac while you click on the Wireless Mode selection box and the "Join" option will appear
You will have to specify the name of the wireless network to be joined and enter the exact type of wireless security and password that the HomeHub is using.
If everything does not match up exactly, you will see an error message and you have to factory reset the TC and start all over with the configuration to try again
Also, when set up this way, is the back up speed slow or not really affected?
Backups will occur as quickly as the wireless network allows. If multiple users are on the network at the same time, things are going to be much slower at that time.
The Ethernet ports on the TC are not enabled when it is configured to "join", so you will have to backup using wireless. You will have to allow a lot of time for the first Time Machine backup since all of the data on your Mac will be copied over. A good time to do this would be overnight.

AirPort Base working on and off on Windows machines?

So I have an AirPort base I got not even a year ago. It's been working fine until all of a sudden the other day, everything was disconnected, and set up in a different room. Now, the service is coming and going on my room mates computers, which are windows based. Everything else, my iMac/phone/pad Xbox, all have worked fine during this same time.
Why would the service come and go on their computers? The connection is there, it just won't let them use the internet, or if it does its DL speed is like .5. Then all of a sudden it will work again, and go away later.
Any ideas?

Not sure how you ended up here...
Maybe if you post your question in the PowerBook G4 discussion area a PowerBook user could offer advice.

Bluetooth mouse connection goes on and off

Ever since I installed Mountain Lion, my magic mouse connection goes in and out with annoying frequency - sometimes every few seconds. Has anyone else had this problem? Is there a fix?

I have the same problem with my Mighty Mouse except I'm still on Lion. Problem started shortly after I bought this IMAC mid summer. Add to this problem: very often the page I am viewing moves off the screen. The page can usually be swiped back when I'm on the web. However, if I am writing an email, it will go off the screen and can't be brought back. This can occur even if I don't touch the mouse but my hand is near the mouse. "Stay on Page" just brings the little multi coloured circle that goes round and round. Email does not return. This occurs using Rogers Yahoo or Apple Mail. Also, just touching the mouse (that is, not tapping it), very often will cause page to enlarge.

Wireless Connection Keeps disconnecting and reconnecting

I recently got a new router to replace my old one (which had the same issue) and it frequently disconnects randomly for a couple seconds then reconnects again. This seems to only happen to anyone using wireless connections and not when its connected with an Ethernet cable. I've even changed the router channel and the problem still persists and its not near anything the could disrupt the signal so I don't understand.

With the same issue on 2 routers, it's probably not a defective router. But it could be the settings. As Matt suggested check your security settings and the wireless mode. If all of your devices are "n" use performance mode. Otherwise use compatibility mode.
Inssider (available for free at the following link) will show you other devices and enable you to pick the best channel.
http://www.metageek.net/products/inssider/
Is the problem is on multiple devices or just one? If it's only one the issue could be the wireless card.
Since it is a wireless problem think about distance and obstruction. They will reduce signal strength and could cause intermittent problems. Try testing close to the router and see if the same problem occurs. Router positioning can improve signal quality. Don't overlook little things. Example: many users stand the router up. I found that I get better reception with it laying on it's side. And one of my laptops has a significant change in performance by rotating it 90degrees. The kind of problem you are having may need some trial and error research to solve.

I have a new ipad2, also an ipad1, with a gateway laptop. I have wireless router with windstream. Able to access my wireless connection on ipad1 and laptop, but can't on ipad2. Will say connected, but get message saying not connected to internet on Safari

I got an ipad 2 today. Already have an ipad 1 and gateway laptop. Have wireless internet with windstream. I have internet connection on ipad 1 and laptop, but can't connect to internet on ipad2. It says i'm connected, but when accessing Safari, it says not connected to internet. Tried unplugging router and resetting already, still not working. Thanks for the help.

Thank you for your response.
I did try turning off the firewall, and reducing all the security levels to a minimum (under Control Panel>Internet Options). Also, I'm using a direct cable from my m/c to the Airport Extreme. But nothing helps. Due to the usage pattern in my family, using the MacBook for configuring the network is not optimal, hence my struggle to do it on my Windows desktop. But if that is the only way to go I suppose I'll have to.
Subsequent to posting my query, I discovered that Apple had not singled me out, and many others with a Win OS face this problem, too. I would have thought Apple would do a proper job of testing before putting up the Windows version of Airport Utlity on their site.
But thanks again. Much appreciate it.

Connection goes on and off

I have ATT Yahoo! DSL and a bridged siemens speedstream dsl modem connected to a Airport Extreme Base Station (802.11n). They work fine usually but sometimes, more often than not, all the computers connected wirelessly and hard wired are not able to connect to the internet, and on my macbook it says "looking for pppoe..." but doesnt connect. Sometimes it randomly starts working again by itself after about 15 minutes, but sometimes I have to reset the modem and airport. Once I reset, they both work fine...until it goes off again. Is the problem from the dsl connection/modem, or the airport, and is there anything I can do to fix it.
P.S. There are no loose connections so thats not the problem.

Its not the airport. I think its a issue with the DSL servers, because everything works, but then suddenly goes off sometimes. I really doubt its a hardware issue, but I just dont know. I dont have the time or energy to change hardware. I'm sure theres a solution, and if someone can help me, please.
