Wireless working, but not working very well.
Lo there all,
i followed the wiki and some threads here in the forums to set up a pci wireless card for my kids arch box. It is working, but could use some improvement.
First off, it is an rt61 and the module that loads for it is the rt61pci. Cool enough. To get the thing connected after a boot, i have to put this in the terminal.
iwconfig wlan0 up
iwlist wlan0 scan
iwconfig wlan0 essid myessid
then i am on line, no problem...
it connects by dhcp ( what i have in rc.conf )
but.... it drops the connection every once in a while. .
It's kinda random... after a long while or a short while, it just drops off. i think it has connected again,, but mostly it is off for good..
So that is one question... what do i do there ?
next.. .what do i put in rc.conf to not have to type stuff in the terminal every boot ?
thanks
ok, made some changes as recommended here.. here is what i have
when i do ifconfig

what i find really strange about this is this address
169.254.227.0 for wlan0.. where is that comming from??? it may be a neighbors router that sometimes shows up in iwlist wlan0 scan that shows up as linksys or something like that. But i shoud be associating our thing here right ?
when i do iwconfig
lo no wireless extensions.
eth0 no wireless extensions.

I AM READING BUT NOT COMPREHENDING VERY WELL. HELP!!
Hello everyone!
I am so frustrated! The only way I could get input and output was by using a file from the wonderful book on Logic Pro 7 and Logic Express 7. I have NEVER been able to set up my own input-output setup in LE 7 and the same is true with LE 8. This is such an essential thing that one should know how to do; it is so basic! Yet, I am unable to do this a all. Not with the screen keyboard, my microphone, or my guitar with a nice pickyp system that I know works well because I could record with it in GarageBand (albeit with a very low volume). So, I have also tried using the "template" for the "Songwriter" that is available upon opening LE 8 and I STILL cannot get any input or output from that either.
I am lost, frustrated and embarrassed. I can read, but the manuals are over 1000 pages alone! I wish that they had a beginning tutorial that would guide us through this initial hurdle.
AnyseHi,
ehhh.... what exactly do you mean by input and output??? Do you mean audio or midi or both??
Just a couple of hints:
go to Applications > Utilities, and start Audio/Midi Configuration. In this program you can find volume controls for all audio devices, like the built-in mic, and the external mic input and speaker output. If you record something in Logic you should see the VU-meter of the record-enabled audio channel go up and down. By the way, you should select an input source by click-holding the button beneath the label "I/O" in the channel strip of that channel. Otherwise, Logic doesn't know in what connector you put your guitar cable....
Also, you have to arm the track by clicking the "R" button in your track, so that it becomes red.
See page 367 / 368 of the manual (Help > Logic Express 8 User Manual).
Hope this helps!
Kind regards,
Jaap -
Yosemite - MacBook Air 10.10 - "Notes" does not open - "Preview" opens, but does not display PDF's - "iCal" works in new strange ways, as if no one checked its operation - Everything worked very well until Upgrade to Yosemite ! - Happen to others?
Thanks for your lengthy reminder dude, I have a similar Mac with yours. I suspect its a software fault because it happens after I upgraded to Lion, 10.7.2.

i buy my ipod touch like 6 months ago it was working very well but yesterday it is not connecting to the internet when i am connect to my internet it said unable to connect can you please tell me plz help me
Do other devices successfully connect to the router?
Does the iPod successfully connect to other networks/routers?
Does the iPod show wifi bands in the upper left?
Try:
- Resetting the iPod:
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Powering off and then back on the router
- Resetting networksettings: Settings>General>Reset>Reet Network Setting

My Ipad works very well by itself but it's not recognized by Win 7 neither Itunes of my PC and my PC's wife.
The Ipad of my wife is well recognized on my PC which means my PC is OK.

my xtreme tong-its seems corrupted...before it was working very well, but for several games played it stop working, i tried remove and re-install it but nothing happens. Can you please tell me what to do in fixing this particular game.
It sounds like you may have multiple problems, but none of them are likely to be caused by malware.
First, the internet-related issues may be related to adware or a network compromise. I tend to lean more towards the latter, based on your description of the problem. See:
http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/baddns.php
http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/hackedrouter.php
If investigation shows that this is not a network-specific issue, then it's probably adware. See my Adware Removal Guide for help finding and removing it. Note that you mention AdBlock as if it should have prevented this, but it's important to understand that ad blockers do not protect you against adware in any way. Neither would any kind of anti-virus software, which often doesn't detect adware.
As for the other issues, it sounds like you've got some serious corruption. I would be inclined to say it sounds like a failing drive, except it sounds like you just got it replaced. How did you get all your files back after the new drive was installed?

I have a Domain name with email forwarding to my Service Provider which worked very well when I had a PC. Now that I have iMac I have changed the account type to IMAP from POP3 so I can sync. between iMac and iPad but how?
I do receive emails into my iMac for which I have 3 email accounts but am struggling on how synchronise between iMac and iPad so that both are up to date at all times. I have also set up a iCloud email account thinking this was the way to go but have drawn a blank.
Any help would be very much appreciated.Linc Davis,
I have set up my email address both within my iMac and my ISP as IMAP accounts and I receive all emails without problem on my iMac. I have also set up an iCloud email address using my iMac.
I have enabled the email within "setting" on my iPad and have used the iCloud account. I have sent emails from the iMac to iPad using the iCloud account address and vice versa. I have also sent emails from the iPad to the iMac using my non-iCloud email address and they have gotten through.
The one thing I would like to have is for the iPad "mail" mailboxes to mimic the iMac "mail" mailboxes and both to be "in sync". I am not really interested in using the iCloud email address for my email but would really like to use my "normal" addresses as these are what most people know me by.
Do I need to set additional accounts within the iPad which are the same as the email accounts I have within the iMac and my ISP? I have reached the end of my knowledge as regards email synchronsing.

My home button doesn't work very well, I reset and restored my Ipod but it still doesn't work
I've had this 4th gen. IPod since about mid-June, and it worked fine up until about a month ago. The home button doesn't work very well, and by that I mean if I'm in an app and hit the button once, it won't respond, or it'll think I hit it twice. If I hit the button twice, it either won't respond, or it will think I hit it once. I took it to the Apple store where they reset it. They said that if that didn't work, then to restore it. Well since resetting it didn't work, I restored it, and that didn't work either. I've had the same generation IPod before and never had this problem. Any advice?
