How do I fix the "No internet, secured" WiFi problem in Windows 10?
I've seen that with my own Surface Book and Surface Pro 1. The fix for me was a bit simpler…Make sure the device is completely updated and all updates were successful.Click on the offending WiFi connection (in the System Tray) and click “Forget”. Also, if you have an Ethernet cable plugged in unplug that as well.Wait until it completely disconnects from that Access Point. You should have no connection to the Internet at this point.Put the device in Airplane Mode.Reboot the device. If the device is still in Airplane Mode after rebooting take it out of Airplane Mode.Go back to the WiFi connection (in the System Tray) and connect again. DO NOT enable “Connect Automatically”.If it still says “No Internet, Secured” just wait a few minutes — it should clear up. It actually shouldn't take that long. If you prefer you can now enable “Connect Automatically” for that connection.If this fixes it for you then what has happened is simple: The “backed up” connection information has gotten garbled or corrupted and needed to be reset for that device. This used to happen to me all the time with email accounts when I was heavily involved with the Insider Program.I hope this helps!
My MacBook Pro keeps disconnecting from my home WiFi. What could be the issue?
One quick-fix that could work: Change the service order of your networks.Apple puts Bluetooth at the top by default, that could interfere with your Wifi connection. Go to Apple menu -> System Preferences -> NetworkPress the settings button below on the left side:Choose Set Service Order.. , and drag Bluetooth DUN to the bottom:Press OK and then Apply.If that doesn't help, you could also delete the Wifi connection with the Minus button, and add it again with the Plus button.Next options: Restoring the factory settings on your router, chance the channel on which it broadcasts, or replacing it all-together.
Should I bring a laptop to High School?
I start High School in September, and I was wondering what you all think about bring a laptop to high school. Keep in mind I am a geek who is on a computer all the time, so this shouldn't be any different :P I would use it for notes, calendering, web searching, and presentations. It is not very new, but can do all of those things perfectly. It's pretty light at 6 pounds, and has a 14" screen. I don't think it'd be a hassle to have with me, and it'd always be on my person. So what do you all think? Thanks! P.S. the laptop is an Apple PowerBook G3 that is my favorite laptop that I own. (if that matters)
When I'm watching YouTube videos, the video keeps randomly reloading. Why?
If you are experiencing either: A) slugglish loading or buffering, B) that "spinning circle" looking like it will keep on "spinning" forever, C) "choppy" videos that start/stop/start/stop frequently, or D) vids that sometimes come to a complete stop, maybe your cache/memory is full and thus can't take anymore. Exit out of YouTube (but not your browser) and do one of the steps below. Afterwards, shutdown and reboot. Not only will this "free up" your computer's memory, everything will be "fresh", and load faster: Internet Explorer 6: → Tools → Internet Options → Delete Cookies → OK → Delete Files → OK → Clear History → Yes → OK Internet Explorer 7: → Tools → Internet Options → Delete... → Delete files → Yes → Delete cookies → OK → Delete history → OK → Close (browsing history window) → OK Internet Explorer 8: → Tools → Delete Browsing History [. ] Preserve Favorites (leave blank) [x] Temporary Internet files [x] Cookies [x] History → Delete Mozilla Firefox 3: → Tools → Clear Private Data [x] Browsing History [x] Download History [x] Saved Form and Search History [x] Cache [x] Cookies → Clear Private Data Now Mozilla Firefox 3.5: → Tools → Clear Recent History Time range to clear: → Everything ▼ Details [x] Browsing & Download History [x] Saved Form and Search History [x] Cookies [x] Cache → Clear Now Apple Safari 3: → Edit → Preferences → Security (tab) → Show Cookies → Remove All → Done after that: → Safari → Empty Cache → Empty after that: → History → Clear History Google Chrome: → Tools (wrench) → Clear browsing data... [x] Clear browsing history [x] Clear download history [x] Empty the cache [x] Delete cookies Clear data from this period: → Everything → Clear Browsing Data DON'T FORGET TO SHUT DOWN AND REBOOT AFTER DOING ONE OF THE ABOVE. If you have other applications which are running at the same time (such as "Torrents"), they will slow down YouTube also, so you may want to consider uninstalling them altogether.
