Wireless issues with my macbook. Help please.
I just got a new WRT300N and my Macbook connected to it fine once it was set up. However now everytime I leave my house and take it with me, or put it to sleep, when it comes back on to my normal wireless network, the Macbook receives the signal, and shows that it has full access, but i cannot get any internet whatsoever. Please help this is driving me crazy.
yes when it connects it gives it an ip depending on which of my other household laptops was on first. usually is 192.168.1.102 when i restart my macbook it connects just fine. but if i disconnect from the network at all it won't reconnect unless i restart. and everytime it does it shows up in easy advisor as a different device.

Problem with my Macbook - HELP PLEASE!!!!!!!!
Hello, and please help!
This is my second 1.83ghz 1 gb ram 80 gb hard drive Macbook. The first one mooed and had a buzzy display. This one has been perfect for three weeks. Have loved it. But today, my girlfriend shut it down, apparently properly, we took it out of it's case to use it and the fan was on FULL blast. Even though the computer was off! It then wouldn't turn on for ages. The macbook was very, very hot at this point.
Eventually it restarted when the fan went off ten minutes later. The battery level had gone from 80% to 28%. And then it said 'Mac OS X unexpetedly quit' and carried on as normal.... for the moment.
My girlfriend said 'it's done it once before' too.
Any heads up on this? Many thanks in advance.
PaddyIt definitly sounds like she instructed the computer to shut down, but did not wait for the Mac OS to actually shut off the computer befre closing the lid. Doing so suspends activity and puts the computer into sleep mode where it still uses power. If you put the computer in a bag, the heat will build up, and I would expect it do do as you described.
Ask your girlfriend if she waited for the screen to turn black or not. If she did wait for the screen to turn black, then you definitly have a problem that should be taken up with AppleCare, or Apple.

6303i won't sync with a MacBook - HELP PLEASE!
Hi,
I have just got a 6303i as a business phone - all I need is a phone that would sync the contacts from the MacBook so that I can call or text easily. But I have a few issues...
Firstly, it is not supported by the Mac via Bluetooth; the two would just not speak to each other at all.
Secondly, thew USB cable connection offers PC Suite, Printing & Media or Data Storage options - none of these seem to enable synchronisation. I have downloaded Syncmate onto the MacBook which finally allowed the MacBook to see the phone, and I could transfer files via the Data Storage option, but that is not actually what I want to do!
Thirdly, the manual is rubbish! I'm not highly tech savvy so I tend to follow the book and its actually wrong! The sequence in the manual for synchronisation is as follows:
menu>settings>sync & back up> synchronisation, then a choice of 6 options. In reality the phone has:
menu>settings>sync & back up, then straight into a choice of 4 options (phone switch, create back up, restore back up, data transfer.
Has anyone managed to get these phones to sync with a MacBook? And what is the point of printing and supplying a manual which doesn't match the reality of the phone?? It is EXTREMELY frustrating! And yes, it is the correct manual for this phone.
Advice would be appreciated!

Windows 8, Y55 ideapad continual clicking issue with touchpad. Help please
For some reason, when I tap to click the item I clicked remains actively clicked when I move my hand away from the touchpad. In order to process any action, I need to move my cursor away from the button I'm trying to click.
Interestingly enough I tried to disable tapping to see if it would solve the issue, and tapping continued to work...which is odd. It doesn't have this issue when I click objects with a mouse, only when I use the trackpad. Please help me, I'm confused.hi BFG9000,
Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
You can try Uninstalling the driver of your touchpad from Device Manager, under Mice and other pointing device and make sure to put a check on Delete Driver/software prompt.
Then try Checking the touchpad if it works ok without a driver, If it does then try downloading a driver from synaptics website.
If not then Most likely this is a Hardware concern and you need to contact Lenovo Technical Support for assistance.
Best Regards

Tempo Issues with audio files - help please!
Hi all,
I have an audio file that I know to be 110 bpm - when I drag the audio file into my audio channel in logic it changes automatically to around 100bpm - the project is set to 110 - why is this happening?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
DanAre you dragging a 48KHz sample rate file into a 44.1KHz project? If so, I think it'll play back slower

hey guys ive got issues with my macbook pro that i bought not a year ago, and for the last week its just randomly restarting especially when im watching a video or using finalcut pro x can someone help me?
What do you mean "Leave them my laptop again"? do you mean you have had it worked on before? for the same problem or a different one?
You need to take it in to Apple ASAP. No matter how long they have it, you want it fixed and fixed correctly.

Hello, Im new to this website. Im having issues with my Macbook. I have the old 2009 model Macbook and it is our schools macbook. The school just upgraded these MacBooks to OSX Mavericks and when i try to open Minecraft it won't let me. It says no jdk installed. I also try to install Java SE runtime but half way through the Software Update it says cant download software because of network problem but I'm connected to the internet and i can browse stuff just fine. Can any one help with my problems. P.S. I don't know the administrator password or stuff like that. And yes we are allowed to play games and stuff on these laptops but only at home not at school so don't tell me i need to focus on school and not games.
Since you updated the operating system, it is probably Minecraft is missing certain files that ware remove or are not longer comparable with the new version of the OSX. what I recommend, is to check is there is an update for Minecraft and install that. If there is not update available, probably the best thing will be reinstalling Minecraft. Hope this will help you.

Having issues with my MacBook. Even when the internet is disconnected, apps are still closing and opening on their own. I sometimes do not have control over my cursor.....any suggestions?
There are several possible causes for this issue. Please take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried until it's resolved. Some may not be apply in your case.
1. Follow the instructions in this support article, and also this one, if applicable. A damaged or defective AC adapter could be the cause, even if it's the right kind.
2. Open the Bluetooth preference pane in System Preferences and delete all pointing devices other than the trackpad, if applicable. Disconnect any USB pointing devices. By a "pointing device," I mean a peripheral that moves the cursor, such as a trackpad, mouse, trackball, or graphics tablet. A plain keyboard is not a pointing device.
3. Start up in safe mode and test, preferably without launching any third-party applications. If you don't have the problem in safe mode, but it comes back when you restart as usual, stop here and post your results. Do the same if you can't start in safe mode. If there was no difference in safe mode, go on to the next step.
4. Reset the System Management Controller.
5. If you're using a Bluetooth trackpad, investigate potential sources of interference, including USB 3 devices.
6. A swollen battery in a portable computer can impinge on the trackpad from below and cause erratic behavior. If you have trouble clicking the trackpad, this is likely the reason. The battery must be replaced without delay.
7. Press down all four corners of the trackpad at once and release. If there's any effect, it's likely to be temporary, and the unit needs to be serviced or replaced.
8. There's a report that a (possibly defective) Thunderbolt Ethernet adapter can cause the built-in trackpad of a MacBook to behave erratically. If you're using such an adapter, disconnect it and test.
9. There's also a report of erratic cursor movements caused by an external display that was connected but not turned on.
10. If none of the above applies, or if you have another reason to think that your computer is being remotely controlled, remove it from the network by turning off Wi-Fi (or your Wi-Fi access point), disconnecting from a Bluetooth network link, and unplugging the Ethernet cable or USB modem, whichever is applicable. If the cursor movements stop at once, you should suspect an intrusion.
11. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine and/or external trackpad tested. -
Multiple Issues with my Macbook Pro
Jan 2011- Received my Macbook Pro 15 inch (late 2011 version)
Feb 2011- Overheating issue, laptop started running very slowly without any applications open
Feb 2011- Sent it to Apple US, test was run, no issue found by Apple, they re-installed the OS, piece returned back, seemed to be running normally
Early 2012- Major battery issue, battery would suddenly drop down from 90% to 25% in 5 minutes with hardly any applications open
From late 2012 to present- When the laptop is put to sleep (with screen closed) and is opened after half an hour or longer, the mouse cursor remains stuck on the screen after waking it up. The only way to continue using the laptop is to restart it so that the mouse starts moving again. Every time the laptop is woken up after sleep mode, the speed of all running applications comes down noticeably.
Mid 2013- Replaced the Battery for Rs. 8000/- After using it just for two years
Late 2013- Laptop fan runs at a high speed even though there are no applications open on the system, suspected Temperature sensor issue, Activity monitor shows a particular kernel that is taking up a huge amount of CPU load.
I have only faced issues with my macbook pro and it still doesn't end,Is there any way I can ask for an out of warranty replacement or atleast if there is a permanent solution at an affordable cost? Apple as a brand has set a benchmark , it is only fitting that as loyal apple customers we expect products to exceed expectations in terms of performance and longeivity and not pose as a problem at every turn.There isn't any sense in going on spending on a laptop that costs a bomb already!!!While you were on the warranty or if you still have it, you should check out the Apple Store. When you had noticed these problems earlier, you should have immediatly reacted upon them, rather than waiting.

Using a Mac wireless keyboard with a MacBook
I just bought a mac wireless keyboard with the intention of using an external monitor and a wireless keyboard with my MacBook (Leopard - 10.5.4.) I have a logitech cordless mouse. I installed the firmware update for the keyboard, it shows connected, and is turned, the light flashed for about 3 seconds,but the wireless keyboard doesn't work - only the laptop keyboard works. Any suggestions? I'm thinking it's beyond my expertise and I just need to return it and use it as a laptop. Do I have to also have a wireless mouse?
Excuse the ring. I finally found the answer. You can't have mouse enabled in Universal Access if you're using a keyboard that doesn't have the number keypad at the right.

after mixing a project i select bounce and burn the disc that is burned plays on any cd player but when i try to burn the wav or mp3 file that was created the resulting disc will only play in a computer this also happens with video projects help please are there any settings i need to alter as it seems the wav or mp3 file i ceated is being converted to a data file somewhere between the folder and disc drive
Same thing for a movie file.. If you want to play back the movie via a DVD and a DVD player you must create a Movie DVD and not just burn files to a data DVD... as Data DVDs are just storage devices for files and therefore will only work with computers...
Movie DVDs are special formats that include things like menus and special file formats.. so they can playback via a DVD Player...
You will need a 3rd party DVD Burning app like Toast which is what i actually use.... or the more popular DVD Creator app...to create and then burn a Movie DVD that will playback on a DVD Player....

sir have this error so what can i do The SIM card that you currently have installed in this iPhone is from a carrier that is not supported under the activation policy that is currently assigned by the activation server. This is not a hardware issue with the iPhone. Please insert another SIM card from a supported carrier or request that this iPhone be unlocked by your carrier. Please contact Apple for more information.
It looks like the iPhone is locked to a carrier that is not the one you are trying to use.
You need to determine which carrier it is locked to and then contact them to see if they are willing to authorise the unlocking of your iPhone. As ManSinha mentioned, many carriers will only authorised the unlock if requested by the customer who had the contract with them for this iPhone.
Remember that only the carrier who owns the lock on your Iphone can authorise Apple to unlock the iPhone in their servers. You need to contact the carrier or have the previous owner of the iPhone request the unlocking. -
Has anyone else been having hard drive issues with 13" MacBook Pro barely a year old?
Has anyone else been having hard drive issues with 13" MacBook Pro barely a year old?
Yes, BUT...
... there are many problems that are really easy to eliminate by replacing the Hard drive, including ones that have nothing to do with actual Drive Hardware failure. These include corrupted install of Mac OS X, its EFI partition, clobbered partition tables, or the appearance of Bad Blocks in a critical area.
Any of these problems can sometimes be eliminated by re-initializing the entire drive and writing Zeroes, and re-installing from scratch. The trouble is, this process takes hours to complete, and is not guaranteed to be successful -- you may still need a new drive after all that effort.
I learned from my Plumber that consumers have no appetite for solutions that might work, and detest return visits for any related problems whatsoever. You or your friend may have had your drive replaced, not because it actually failed, but because the situation was troublesome, and the provider thought you would not tolerate anything less than a crisp, complete fix on the first attempt. And based on the cost of technician time, it may have even been cheaper that way.
