    New work iPad doesn't connect to Wifi > I don't know why > IT guy doesn't know why > central IT guys don't know why > central IT guys discover correct SSID at our location doesn't exist > central IT guys discover our whole network infrastructure is out of date > central IT guys dispatch engineers to update our entire network

     

    tl;dr The entire workplace is getting gigabit ethernet because my iPad didn't work

    So everything except my mac connects to my new dual band wifi, interesting. Connected by ethernet right now so not a huge issue other than having a cable across the floor. Perhaps this 2012 mac is too old to connect to 5Ghz? All other devices on 2.4Ghz seem fine

    There's a clip of you beating him in Hardware Canuck's video from about 4:13 mins in, I was the dude in the Aorus shirt on the right!

    doesn't show in windows either, so I'm guessing it's straight up dead Jim

    Running Mojave. Seagate 1TB external HDD, was working fine till recently and new. I've done all the obvious stuff, but the drive doesn't show anymore. The lights on and I can hear the mechanism so I have no reason to suspect a physical fault. However, the drive doesn't show on desktop or in finder, nor does it show up in disk utility or in terminal via diskutil list... all online solutions show how to mount the drive in utility, which I would do, if it were listed.....

    23.5 hours, 1 train, 3 planes, and 3 buses from Scotland to Vancouver and back. Was it worth it for LTX? Yes. Yes it was. I regret nothing

    I might not make it to jam cafe, turns out it's a little bit out of the way from where I am. Turns out there are several people going to LTX at the hostel I'm staying in too so we'll probably head over together. Be good to bump into uk folks there though

    I think I identified one of my several instruments connected to the interface as the source... my very old electric piano, perhaps unsurprising, disconnected that and now everything seems fine. Perhaps that was just causing a loop without route to ground... who knows, thanks for the help. There's so many wires in here it's hard to tell haha

    So I live in the UK (three pronged plugs) brown live, earth yellow and green, and blue neutral. Got lost a bit there. Anyway yeah I can see from the setup I have that not everything has a path to earth, because the interface is powered by the mac USB, it doesn't have it's own power source and everything is sat on wooden tables, no path to earth (I know nothing about electronics can you tell?) I will try moving some things around, and hopefully not get more zapped in the process. I assumed it was a fault with the gear, not the room... I'll report back if I manage to fix it

    I imagined something like that would be happening, how do I go about resolving that?

    So here's a weird one. I've been getting little electric shocks, both from my audio interface and from the metal shell of my desktop iMac. I just got a nasty zap just now when I went to switch my mac on, button at the back. I have my mac set up in a home music studio, audio interface is connected via USB, various instruments connected to audio interface - synth, piano etc. Whenever the audio interface is switched on AND an instrument, like my piano, is connected to it via MIDI the shell gives little shocks. The iMac shell also gives off electric shocks, but only when the audio interface is switched on and connected to the USB port. Is there some weird static build up going on here and any suggestions to mitigate it? I think it's a bit more than just carpet static

    Correct me if I'm wrong but I'm guessing the metal casing of my mac isn't supposed to give me an electric shock...

    So far I've read of two other people coming from Aberdeen, including yourself. I am too, though I arrive in vancouver the day before on the 25th, also flying from Glasgow
