With Macs DO NOT use symbols in your wifi passwords!

It's more of a discussion of assistance than a question. I was recently informed by a wifi from my internet provider technician not to use symbols in my wifi passwords where I connected my Mac products. He said, in his experience, that's never a good idea. Apple seems to have problems with the symbols.

Feel free to weigh in with your experience. But I think he was right. My Mac, ipads and phones, including my Apple TV still fell the signal in my house and a condo I have elsewhere (different internet service providers). I had everything checked lines, computers even buy a new modem and all I had to do was change the darn passwords for those with symbols. Head a slap!

Now, I feel is no longer the problem. Amazing little trick that everyone should know!

What do you mean by symbols?

  • You can print with a 6s iPhone using a printer no Wifi

    How do you print with a 6s iPhone using the printer no WiFi?

    Hey,.

    I always got WiFi printers in my house and never had to deal with this problem personally, but the following CNET article seems to answer this question:

    http://www.CNET.com/how-to/how-to-print-wirelessly-from-your-iPhone-iPad-or-iPod - touch.

    My printer is a HP OfficeJet 7500 E910, which allows me to print from any wireless device and my printer is plugged only the power source.

    Also, I did not read the entire article carefully, but I would venture to say that if you have a cable to connect your printer to your wireless router, it should appear as a network printer. If your iPhone is connected to the same wireless network as the router is mounted, you should have this success. It would still be printing wireless from your iPhone, but just a different configuration.

    Hope this helps, and feel free to respond with thoughts or questions!

    Thank you

  • After effects CC on Mac will not use my NVIDIA GTX 670

    And strangely, I don't see the GTX 670 listed for Windows either, although Premiere Pro seems to accept, even if she didn't see it at first.

    Here is my report legacy GPU.

    I'm running the latest CUDA 5.0.61 which was updated yesterday and GPU driver 8.12.47 310.40.00.05f01. I can't launch the web more recent version of the drivers because they do not seem to work with my PC GTX 670 in my MacPro. And my GTX 670 actually 4 GB of RAM. I thought that was one of the great features of CC to activate the compatible maps, but I can't select GPU (although I can't in Premiere Pro).

    And even more boring, is that while I had to modify some files after Effects CS6, it works fine for me with my video card as shown in this report:

    Now, I had some problems with all my apps CC do not launch, or to have the odd accidents, but I seem to have solved the according to this thread http://forums.Adobe.com/message/5423905#5423905 For this reason, I decided to try to start on the root and see if my graphics card worked in the root, but it was exactly the same report and would not activate the video card.

    I guess I can try the same hack that I had to do with CS6, but I thought that was the whole point of the new version that you wouldn't have to do!

    Although it's done. I had to manually hack AE CC to make it work with my Video card, and now it works fine.

  • Save the symbols not used in a separate library?

    I like to keep my project library in order, which means deletion I find myself not not using symbols. However, I want to be able to find these symbols later in case I end up wanting to use it for a related project. Can I create a library outside of a project, so I can drop these items inside for later use? If not, what is the best way?

    I don't think that you can create another rlibrary in a single file, but you can create a folder in the library and stuff in there.  An option to keep them in a file or a project is vreate another file as your dumps.  This might work well for you that you can plant them in the library, as well as on the stage so that you can see what's inside.

  • Error "you do not use the Type of appropriate phone cord.

    Having a problem with my fax on my HP Officejet Pro 8500 wireless.  Tried to send a fax, it received a transmission error.  I run fax test and she came back with "you do not use the type of appropriate phone cord.  Nothing has changed since I last fax would be but I check the lines and connections, everything seems ok.  Phone jack is connected to 1 line and Officejet 2 - ext"is connected to the phone.  I use a dedicated phone # and the Officejet is set to auto answer.   I can call and receive calls on the phone to connect to the Officejet.  My hypothesis is that because I can use the phone without problem there nothing wrong with the phone line.  Any ideas?

    I had the same problem.  I am using a phone cord 2-wire supplied with the printer and still get this error.  It turns out that it is bound to have a telephone connected to the printer.  If I unplug the telephone shape of the intake extension on the back of the printer, then the fax test passes.   I used even a cord 2-wire on the telephone, but it seems that the mere fact of having a phone plugged into the outlet of expansion will cause this error.

    Run the test without a phone plugged into the outlet of extension of the printer and you should be fine.

    Worked for me!

  • Is it safe to leave your Mac to sleep while not using it?

    Is it safe to leave your Mac to sleep while not using it?

    Of course, it is safe. Sleep is the best way to let your Mac if you use in a short period of time (process of awakening is much faster but to turn on your Mac, whenever you want to use it), and your Mac also consumes very little power in this mode. However, it is better to turn off your Mac if you are not going to use it for a long time.

    To secure your Mac by others, I suggest you to set up your Mac to request your password after waking up from his sleep. You can do System Preferences-> Security & privacy-> general-> 'ask the password... ».

    Hello

    I seem to be having problems when you try to install a program on my Windows 7 that allows to launch on my Windows XP and Windows Vista. I used the tool to solve compatibility problems and selected these settings in the CONFIGURATION file, but nothing seems to work the error message I get is as follows:

    "This version of this file is not compatible with the version of Windows you are using. Check your computer's system information to see if you need a x 86 (32 bit) or x 64 (64-bit) version of the program, and then contact the software publisher. »

    Is it possible to set my computer to allow this program to run successfully? Any solution would be greatly useful.

    Hello Rdforbe,

    The problem is a software that was created for Windows 95, 98, and Windows XP has no way to work correctly with an operating system that didn't even exist when the software was written. However, the error message you get normally means that you have a 32-bit software that you are trying to install on a 64-bit system.

    To find out if your computer is running 32-bit Windows or 64-bit, follow these steps:
    System opened by clicking on the button start , by clicking on the Control Panel, click System.
    Under system, you can view the system type. This will describe if you have 32-bit or 64-bit.

    You can also try compatibility mode.

    If the program is not compatible, then you try to install and run the program in compatibility mode.

    Use the following steps:

    (1) right click on the program

    2) click Properties

    3) click on the Compatibility tab

    (4) select run this program in compatibility mode and select Windows Vista or other operating system, the program has been run successfully.

    Check out the link here: make sure to run older programs in this version of Windows

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/make-older-programs-run-in-this-version-of-Windows

    If you are running Windows 7 Professional or Ultimate version, install Windows Virtual PC and Windows XP mode (http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/default.aspx) and run your software in Windows XP.

    If you run Windows 7 Home Premium, try VirtualBox (www.virtualbox.org) or VMware Player (www.vmware.com), or any other software virtualization part 3rd and install a separate copy of Windows XP (family or professional edition) for this purpose. You can find the virtualization software free that will run on Windows 7 Home Premium.

    I hope this helps.
