I am trying to connect via Adium to my MSN account but it keeps loading and nothing ever happens..
I tried connecting via microsoft messenger and it worked.. anyone have any idea of what happening? is there any difference between the way adium connects compared to MSN?
A week ago I have bought new Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga 11, win RT.
All look fine excluding following problem: I unable to switch the laptop to my Microsoft account. Currently the laptop is connected to local account but that does not allow me to use SkyDrive and MS Store.
I tried following: Went to Setup, pressed on <Switch to Microsoft account> button, then I've asked to provide my local password, and then my email.
Finally the white rectangle appeared for an half minute or so, and then following message is appearing:
Sign in with Microsoft account. The service isn't available right now - please try again later.
I tried for a week but unsuccessfully.
I'm sure my Microsoft account is functioning good. I can sign in to it using a web browser.
Then I called to MS support service, they told me that they do not support Windows RT at all. As they said: Windows RT IS NOT A MICROSOFT PRODUCT, each HW vendor builds it for it own use as he wants. And they sent me back to Lenovo support.
i've been receiving inumerous spams since i started using adium. I googled for a solution and it was a simple one, to change the privacy settings to only allow messages from contact list, however, when i close the program and open again, savings are reseted to receiving messages from anyone.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI've been using adium for sending messages to cells because MSN doesn't support it in OSX and my cell account only has 200 to it and I won't pay anymore for it, the reason I don't like adium is because I keep getting people sending me messages that I don't know and I try to block them but they keep coming, So is there another messenger app that I could use in OSX for SMS's
View 10 Replies View RelatedI have the latest version of Adium download on my new Macbook Pro but for some reason my Display Picture Icon only shows the Blue/Green MSN Buddy on the other end of the party.
The other party cannot see my Icon Picture of which I have set in my preferences.
Anyone else have this problem or know how to resolve it? I use MSN Messenger.
Is it worth getting the root account enabled (administrator) or is the standard user account which you create yourself quite powerful as it is?
I'm just tryig to get as much info on OSX as possible because I'm going to be switching over from Windows to mac in the next week or so.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI just ordered an iPad and I was wondering if I could see my files on me.com with it. I should be able to, right? I mean, there is an app for that on the iPhone.
Then I could 100% use my MBP files that are stored on me.com, right?
I am asking this cause I see lots of reviews that say you don't have access to all your files, you only have the files you set to sync (in which case I would need to sync my MBPiPad all the time).
This is very weird for Apple not to use their own products together completely, more than email & contacts. By the way, are notes synced to ME.com? On the iPad?
I have a new Netgear router because my old one died. From everything I can tell it is the exact same router I had before just brand new. Perhaps the firmware is different but I kept it updated so don't know for sure.
Basically what is happening is when I start iChat it will just sign in and sign out extremely rapidly until the account is temporarily disabled because I logged in and out too often. I click the icon and it logs in an out faster than I can count instantly then BAM the error message.
Have no idea whats going on. Don't have any other network at my disposal right now to try this on so I can't say if it is the router or a random problem with iChat. AIM works fine on my phone so I know it isn't the account.
I'm going to restart right now and then try 7 and see if the problem still persists but has anyone heard of a problem like this? Very strange.
My MBP is up to date software side. Made no new changes.
Works fine in Windows 7. AIM starts up without issue.
My home network has always been: SSID broadcast off, WAP2 TKIP+AES, MAC filtering and limited DHCP numbers. Yesterday, I connected the 13.3" MBP to the network and initial manual connection was fine. However, if I turn off and turn on AirPort or restart the computer, it doesn't re-connect automatically. The only time it re-connects is when I enable SSID broadcast. Is this the only option for MBPs (i.e., no auto connection to hidden SSID networks)?

But when I go to school and connect into my 3 mbps ethernet connection it is slow as hell. I have a PC and when it ran on the ethernet connection it was fast, and i've speed tested this baby and it it shows the internet at 3 mbps. Im not quite sure what is causing the slow down.
Anyone here trying safari 4? I think i actually do notice a speed diferrence when loading websites.

View 10 Replies View RelatedI would like to use the MBP as a second desktop by buying the bluetooth keyboard and bluetooth mouse, and connecting to the 24" ultrasharp with a 1900x1200 res. The problem is, when I MIRROR the display, The resolution is off as it wont do the 1900x1200 because the 15" MBPRO can't do it. I'm connecting via DVI-D, but have the option for HDMI, displayport, or anything else with this monitor as its brand new.
View 8 Replies View RelatedI just bought a new Bell Novatel X950 Turbo-Card and WOW, it it ever fast! (HSPA). The problem I'm having is that when I log on and hit "CONNECT" it asks me for a password. Simply pressing enter gets me logged on. No password was ever established, nor does it require one to connect. how I can stop this prompt? I looked at "preferences", 'tools', EVERYWHERE... can't find it.
View 3 Replies View RelatedMy MBP keeps "forgetting" my wireless network at home. It will work fine for a while and then it will stop connecting and give me a connection timeout error. If I change the password on the network (WPA2) it will work fine for a while. iPhone works fine on the same network and MBP works fine at school on unsecured network. it's the last generation, right before unibody
View 4 Replies View RelatedI gave it a whirl and it works like a charm here in France using Orange.
Here's the speed test results.
I had some trouble getting my iphone to connect via bluetooth to my mb, so this test was done via usb.
Will work out the bluetooth problem later, but for now its a nice backup for when no wi-fi is about.
No hacking/jailbreaking is required, yet I'm not quite sure how legal it all is so if the mods find this topic out of order feel free to delete.
I own a 24" ACD, the newer aluminum ones and already found a few converters to connectiing my PS3, 360, etc to my display. However, the native resolution of the screen is 1920 by 1200 pixels. Therefore requiring an EXPENSIVE HDMI upscaler since PS3 max output is only 1080p.
My question.
if I connect it without an upscaler what happens? Does it stretch to fit the screen? or does it just have a small portion of the screen black?
Can I connect an "Apple" hard drive into a laptop of another brand? I've been looking at this old IDE 60Gb harddrive but it says it's for Apple. It's basically the same, right?
View 8 Replies View RelatedI bought the Macbook Pro 13" on March 21st, couldn't wait for the refresh.
Now my question is, how do I connect to the external monitors, as in which Mini Displayport do I need to buy? I see a lot of displayports at Fry's for under $20 for Mac but don't know which part number exactly do I need for my MBP.
Another question is, I might want to get the Mini Displayport to DVI. Would DVI to HDMI work from the Apple Mini Displayport? Would DVI to VGA work from the Apple Mini Displayport also? I have alot of DVI to VGA/HDMI adapters so I was wondering would it work if I just bought the Mini Displayport to DVI.
My HP Envy m6 laptop cannot connect to our wifi connection and only connects using the cable connection, ethernet.
It was still fine when I downloaded windows 8.1 but all of a sudden displays limited/no connectivity. I tried everything I can including resetting tcp ip settings thru command prompt, finding other drivers till someone suggested me to put my laptop back to windows 8. Still didn't fix the problem. Now, my laptop does not access wifi nor detect any wireless connection whether our home wifi, or others.
I was just about to buy an XPS M1530 today, and then I found out that you can get a 12-month-no-intrest-for-XPS-systems deal (it ends in a few hours) with a Dell Preferred Account. I also heard that you can get a 3% discount off of any dell product with a DPA. What I'm asking is if it is a good idea to get a DPA before I buy this laptop, and if it costs anything and how to create this account.

View 10 Replies View RelatedI have been looking for a device that functions both as a NAS and a print server for a USB printer. My printer (and NAS-to-be) are in a different room than my current wireless router. I have a Windows 7 - based PC.
So...
I would like to be able to connect the Time Capsule to my existing wireless network.
I would like to be able to back up files over the wireless network (probably using Windows 7's included backup software).
I would like to be able to print over the wireless network. My printer is a Samsung ML-2510 printer.
Can I do this with a Time Capsule?
if I want to connect the macbook to an external LCD monitor, I will need a mini-DVi to DVI adapter, but the adapter is so short. So should I connect the adapter to the DVi cable that is connect to the monitor? The adapter is so short that there is no way it can be directly connected to the monitor......

Which is $73 cheaper .....
I recently went on a plane trip back home and I am having major issues with wifi connection in my family's house.
They have AT&T router/modem (combo?) and no one else in the house has any issues connecting with it.
What happens is I can connect and browse for a couple minutes or so, but sporadically, the internet will just stop working (not the wifi, it still shows my connection exists). I just won't be able to browse or make use of the internet at all!
I wonder if I might have banged it up or something on the plane ride? Since other laptops in the household are not having wifi issues, I am lead to believe it is just me.

This computer has Windows 8 and when I type in my password in the box I suspect is the login screen, it just comes up with more symbols.
Can't get into computer. Computer is covered in symbols and gibberish. Is there a way to factory reset this computer without actually being able to get in? Or should I just send it back?
