Hi to everyone here. I thought id say hello and offer a possible solution to this problem . Well maybe possibly anyway.I am not very savvy with computers and Macs , i just want to press connect and boom it works .I have a second generation Virgin Super hahahaha Hub & a i7 late 2013 Macbook .Surely in this day an age , and the money I've spent it should all go boom .For a while life was good, online chats came easily , emails were a breeze, that all changed in a heart beat , and for the last few months I've had nothing but pure frustration. Pages would hang quarter way across the bar , the connection would be dreadful, my time spent building up a Bank in PKR would be all for nothing , because id lose connection and my winning pocket AA would get folded .
However today i may have had a break through. I chatted to apple support for an hour , not for the first time i might add.I explained the pages I've read about Virgin hubs and MacBooks . After almost an hour and a few experiments with re assigning my wifi , a de clutter of old settings etc the quite patient man suggested we could create a new user on my mac, just to see if it would make any difference , perhaps some software glitch in my original user account could possibly affect the way my wireless wifi was searched for .
With ltd computer skills and a sort of a grasp of his explanation of why this might work , i listened while he talked me through the process. Now touch wood , sto the press , smoke me a kipper , pages do seem to be losing quicker and a sense of normality has returned to my computer use .I have no idea if this is a 30 sec plaster on a wound or a long term fix . But i just thought id share my experience and say thanks to apple for the loan of a very nice guy.
Perhaps by creating a new user I'm somehow not affected by some anomaly which has crept in via some software .Something was downloaded which affected normal use .I have no explanation for it , no more than any other frustrated person here .But if my experience helps anybody else , then send me a thank you chocolate bar or a uk pound to cats protection , which helps rescue and care for sick animals . Tell em its for Dave L helping you to get back online . Cheers
