Cannot get my Samsung SyncMaster S27B370 to connect to my Mid 2011 iMac 27
Cannot get my Samsung SyncMaster S27B370 to connect to my Mid 2011 iMac 27 inch with HDMI to thunderbolt port adapter but works like a charm in Windows 7 when I bootcamp over to it. Any ideas? The cable is working properly as shown by the fact that Windows 7 uses both monitors perfectly. I am using Mac OS X Mountain Lion and have already done the option + cmd + p + r boot reset to no avail. It does not find the second monitor at all as in it doesn't even show up in the display preference pane.

Arguably, they're both right.
Changing your router changes everything, so your best course of action is to research the respective printer's documentation and determine how to reset them to factory default condition. Then, add them again using System Preferences > Print & Scan.
For that, I recommend you first "reset the printing system" according to these instructions: Mac OS X: How to reset the printing system. Its instructions for Lion are identical to those for Mountain Lion.
As the article states, it will remove all your existing printers, leaving the Mac's printing system in a similar "factory default" condition ready for you to create a new print queue for each printer, which you should probably do.
Apple's printing support documents contain a great deal of redundancy, but this one may be a good place to start: OS X Mountain Lion: Set up a printer to print wirelessly

I bought a used 27" Cinema Display (A1316) and had it connected to my Mid 2011 iMac with thunderbolt connections. The screen goes black but I can still get audio through its speakers. Do I need to replace the cable bundle? Help please!
LeviHi levifromhenderson,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. Based on what you stated, it sounds like trouble with an external display. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.

I cannot get my Macbook Pro retina to connect to my BT Home hub.
Hi,
I cannot get my Macbook Pro Retina to connect to my BT homehub either wirelessly or through ethernet using the thunderbolt adaptor. I know that this is a problem with my IP address as in Network Settings it tells me that
'Thunderbolt Ethernet has a self-assigned IP address and will not be able to connect to the Internet.'
I know that my internet connection is fine as I can plug the ethernet cable back into my PC and it works fine. Also, my phone and ipad connect wirelessly just fine.
Bt have told me to contact Apple, but I can't get hold of Apple till tomorrow.
Amyone know how to overcome this?
I did also find my IP address and enter it manually, at which point netwrok settings showed my ethernet connection as green and connected, but it still wasn't working.
ThanksSame for wifi. I have put in my IP address manually for the wifi network and it has gone green and connects to the hub, but gives me an exclamation mark on the wifi bar and still doesnt connect to the internet.
I am writing this whilst connected to the internet on the same laptop but connected to BTFON which is a really slow public network I have access to as a BT customer. -

Have a MacBook. Shows I have an internet connection, but cannot get on. I do have connection with my other computer???
I've looked at the IP adress, and it started with 169.
This means you aren't actually connected to the Internet; only to your router.
An easy first attempt at a fix is to turn your router off and then on again. -
Hi I am trying to connect my mba mid 2011 with an imac 27" 2011 with target display mode tdm. When I am using a thunderbolt cable nothing will work. When I use a minidisplay cable, both screens turn blue but eventually nothing happens. What is the problem
Your answer is likely in Target Display Mode: Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) - Apple Support If you are familiar with this document, please re-read it and I suspect you may find something you either missed or are doing incorrectly.

Cannot upgrade Thunderbolt firmware on mid-2011 iMac
Hi - I'm having problems updating the Thunderbolt firmware on my mid-2011 iMac (21.5").
Can anyone point me to the proper location for this firmware download? I've found several on the site, but none seem to work for me, due to a variety of OS incompatibilities.
For the curious, here's what my system says:
Hardware Overview:
Model Name: iMac
Model Identifier: iMac12,1
Processor Name: Intel Core i5
Processor Speed: 2.7 GHz
Number of Processors: 1
Total Number of Cores: 4
L2 Cache (per Core): 256 KB
L3 Cache: 6 MB
Memory: 12 GB
Boot ROM Version: IM121.0047.B1F
SMC Version (system): 1.71f22
Thunderbolt Bus:
Vendor Name: Apple Inc.
Device Name: iMac
UID: 0x0001000A15928E80
Route String: 0
Firmware Version: d.16 (Eng 1)
Domain UUID: 78CF7309-6B81-CC54-A320-6D5B13722358
Port:
Status: No device connected
Link Status: 0x7
Speed: Up to 10 Gb/s x2
Receptacle: 1
Port Micro Firmware Version: 1.2.1
And here are the error messages from a variety of firmware update locations:
Thunderbolt Firmware Update v1.2
First error: The package was signed with a certificate that has expired (c'mon Apple!)... Do you want to continue with the installation anyway? (yes!)
Second error: Alert: This software is not supported on your system. (any reason why? OS, old other firmware, what?)
I've tried the tricks of PRAM and SMC resets, moved the com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist to the desktop and rebooted, etc., etc., but nothing seems to work.
The issue driving this exploration is that the Thunderbolt port appears to be dead - won't support Target Desktop Mode or the Thunderbolt Gigabit Ethernet adapter.
Thanks in advance for any help!From that very page, it appears that this model does support Target Display Mode - please see the bold text below.
Am I reading it incorrectly?
Thanks for your help here - it's good to have more than 1 set of eyes looking at this!

I've spent 1/2 the day trying to troubleshoot this problem and finally give up.
My client has a Windows Server 2012 Essentials server (with all updates installed - no errors in error logs nor SFC /SCANNOW). Purchased a new Windows 8 Pro computer, which we installed all the updates from Windows Updates and are now trying to join
the domain using the "Microsoft way" (i.e.: http://[servername]/connect).
The site comes up and it prompts us to download the software and run... so far so good, but when we get to the screen where it asks, "Type your new network user name and password" - the next screen after that we get the error, "Cannot connect
this computer to the network...".
I've been looking at cases all day long through Microsoft and Google - all pointing to problems with the SSL on the server - that's not the problem here (as other workstations have, in the past, successfully connected and we verified today that the local
server certificate is what is the default, as it should be).
I've tried just about everything I can think of and cannot get this silly wizard to work (why Microsoft, WHY!??!?!). Yet, I can join this domain just fine doing it through normal means. I've even tried joining the domain this way, and tried installing
the software afterwards (as the Essentials Console won't reflect the new workstation, thus it won't add it to group policies etc... though yes, I could manually do that and have - but we'd still like to get it to show up in the console). I even
tried the trick noted in a KB talking about running the connect software without joining the domain (registry key that gets added) - that didn't work either.
I'm out of ideas - and at this point had to get the client online and working today - so we joined it manually, configured it and left it. But I would like to get this fixed the "proper" way. Help?
I do have the clientdeploy.log file - which only points out an internal error, but I'm unsure how to enable the improved logging it suggests (I'll gladly post the logs if someone tells me how - I'll skip posting the log file here for now):
[1544] 140204.203620.0794: ClientSetup: MachineIdentityManager.GetMachineStatus had errors: ErrorCatalog:NetworkError ErrorCode:-1
BaseException: Microsoft.WindowsServerSolutions.Devices.Identity.MachineIdentityException: MachineIdentityManager.GetMachineStatus ---> System.ServiceModel.FaultException: The server was unable to process the request due to an internal error. For more
information about the error, either turn on IncludeExceptionDetailInFaults (either from ServiceBehaviorAttribute or from the <serviceDebug> configuration behavior) on the server in order to send the exception information back to the client, or turn on
tracing as per the Microsoft .NET Framework SDK documentation and inspect the server trace logs.
Suggestions? Thoughts? I hope Essentials 2012 R2 improves this - as I've had this error for other various reasons with other clients (and spent 1/2 days troubleshooting to clear those up). Essentials Connect, IMHO, needs a re-write - as
it's been nothing but a hassle... miss the SBS connect.Hi slemay,
Before going further, please uninstall the Connector software from Control panel. Then connect again, will
the same issue persists? Would you please use another client to connect with the Server 2012 Essentials by using this way? Then monitor the result. Please make sure the computer has a physical connection to the local network.
Please refer to the TechNet article (Here)
and troubleshoot, then check if can help you to solve it.
In addition, please refer to the following articles and enable
WCF tracing to go further. Please check if you can find some clues.

I asked this question before, and was told to connect directly to the internet via ethernet, rather than attempting to download wirelessly. Three times I have attempted the download, and the most I get is a small blue dot on the launchpad icon. I click on the Mac store and while it says "Downloading" nothing seems to be happening. All apps are updated and closed and yet...nothing.
I am really frustrated with this whole thing! I am wondering, is Mavericks really worth all this hassle as an upgrade from Lion? And of course, you cannot get help from Apple without paying $20 unless Mavericks downloaded successfully and you are just having trouble.
If anyone out there can help me with potential problems I can remedy myself, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you in advance!The download speed all depends on the speed of your internet connection. Mavericks is a 5+ GB download and it will take a while even with a fairly fast internet connection.
The progress bar will barely move in the first few minute and it may take several hours to complete. If the App store is saying it is downloading then I would think it is downloading. Just let it run and set you mac not to go to sleep. -
Cannot get Safari to establish a secure connection
I cannot get Safari to open any webpage that has an https: start to their web page. I get the following message:
Safari can’t open the page “https://xxx" because it couldn’t establish a secure connection to the server
This started just today but I've done a few things that might have caused this. I reset my system user password and then needed keychain to reset it's password to match up with this. I cleared the chach in users and I also upgraded to Safari 1.2.
If I use another browser I do not have this problem. Any thoughts>I've had the same problem a few times. I found that resetting the airport gets the problem fixed, providing that you grant your airport permission to access your keychain always. It can be a software reset. Connect to your airport (airport utility) and select yours (in case you get signals from other neighbors too). Then, on the toolbar click reset, and you should be on.

SPA122 cannot get registration after losing of Internet connection
Good day again,
still problems
I have SPA122 connected to dual WAN balance router. SPA is working perfect and no any problems with calls but...
When I lose one Internet source (primary) and balancer switches to another source (secondary) modem cannot get registration again. You can get registration only after you restart modem. The same time you can get Internet connection on Internet port of SPA122 all the time.
I tried several times both way Primary - Secondary, Secondary - Primary. The same result: Internet availible, VOIP - no registration.
Also I tried direct connection to both sources. The same. If you lose connection on source and after you get it again SPA122 is not registering again.
Can you recommend something?
SPA122 has last FW from your web site.

Cannot get Lela to recognize my internet connection
I have tried and tried and tried to get Lela to recognize my internet connection. I am connected to the internet through the WRT54G right now, but the easylink advisor will not "fix" the internet connection in my network. It just keeps telling me to make sure my cables are connected - they are, it tells me to plug and unplug my modem and router (done this at least 20 times). I'm guessing there is some setting on my computer that needs to change, but I have'nt a clue what it could be unless Lela tells me what needs changed. Like I stated I am typing this and have an internet connection right now. When I try to get through to support from easylink advisor it goes to a "the website cannot be found" site. Could someone help me I am about worn out with this issue?
Go to add/remove programs and remove LELA from your system. It is not needed for anything.

I am a first time user of the new airport extreme time capsule 2TB. I use a macbook pro and imac. I installed the router today and got on wirelessly. BUT I cannot get my 2 printers that were previously wireless to find the router signal. The worked fine on my current set up OS Mounitain Lion 10.8.4. Apple tells me it is the printer mfr issue and printer companies tell me it is apple issue. Any help appreciated.
