Help! Can't access my own Wi-Fi network!

Now this is really odd! yesterday evening I was on my home network with my iPhone 3G, no problems. While I was out, I tried an app (X-Plane), which crashed twice in close succession. When I tried to join my network this morning: no go! "Unable to join network xxxx."
I had no problems with my wireless network at work, but when I got home, I still couldn't connect. I tried 'forgetting' and re-registering it (login worked, but no connection).
Help! Is a restore necessary or are there other options?
Thanks!
Roger

I love it when I answer my own questions...
Indeed, a restart of the TimeMachine did the trick! WiFi reception has been restored to my iPhone (could have spared myself the restore :-().

Updated to Lion and can't access my own website?

I recently update to Lion and now I can't access my own website, no matter what browser I use.
I can access the site fine from my work PC, but can't from home and this started after I updated to Lion.
Help?

I can't access my cPanel or just the website itself. I can't access the admin panel for the Wordpress workings either.
And it all worked fine until I updated to Lion.
Any help you can provider would be very helpful. My host is claiming they can access it fine so they aren't able to help. They verified my IP isn't blocked on their end.
And I can access it straight away in Safari.Do you have any anti-virus or third party programs, especially secrity related installed?
Can you access any other sites you regularly go to?
Is your Wordpress program up to date to be compatable with Lion (check developer's site)

Can't access any shares on the network

Hi,
As the topic says, I can't access any shares on the network. I've tried connecting to a Iomega NAS, Windows 7 laptop, and a macMini. In the "Shared" list in finder im able to see all the shares, I'm able to click them and see the folders they share, but when I try to open one of the folders I get an error, no matter which share it is:
+"The operation can’t be completed because the original item for “<folder name>” can’t be found."+
The shares can all access each other, and they can access my folders. I just can't access any folder on the network.
I got a mac pro with osx 10.6.2 and have all the latest updates.
How can I solve this problem?
Thanks.

Well, try this (I was able to fix my with these steps):
Go Utilities > Disk Utility
Select your Startup Disk, e.g. Macintosh HD
Then, under the First Aid Tab, click Verify Disk Permissions.
If there are errors, then click repair Disk Permissions.
After it is done, restart the computer and see if your problem is resolved.
I hope this help.

Can i access MSN without wi-fi network?

Can i access MSN without Wi-Fi network? I mean, this might sound incredibly stupid but can I run apps such as MSN, Skype, FaceTime, through the 3G network? Without connecting to a wireless network? For example, if you're somewhere else other than home, at the mall, on a trip, will those apps still work?
Thank you.

Face Time is WiFi only. The others should work just fine over 3G.

Please help: Can't access your microphone and soun...

Dear all,
I think this question have been surfaced many times, but after searching for answers sometime, I just have to post again. So bear with me.
Machine: Lenovo ThinkPad Edge E220s
Purchase date: October 2011
Description: Laptop
Audio: Internal Microphone (Conexant 20671 SmartAudio HD)
Speaker: Speakers (Conexant 20671 SmartAudio HD)
- In English, that is the internal speaker.
OS: Windows 7 Home Premier 64 bit
Skype: 5.5.0.124
- In English, that is the most up to dated version
When I try to call the Echo / Sound Test, after hearing the lady says hello, I see a message box comes up:
Microphone tab has a red exclamation mark.
Speaker tab has a read exclamation mark.
In each tab, there is "Can't access your sound card" message. Sometime I see another small box at the bottom right saying "No microphone detected."
What I have done
1) Tools -> Options -> General -> Audio settings
For Microphone and Speakers, I have uncheck the auto adjust settings.
Restart Skype. Do the "Echo / sound test" and same thing. No detection.
2) Edit AppData\Skype\shared.xml
[ Edit: It seems like the editor here does not like the percent sign before and after the AppData.]
a) I make sure the line AGC XML tag has a value of zero (0).
b) I make sure the MicVolume tag is just 100.
Restart Skype. Same thing. Not working.
3) Test out speaker and microphone in the Skype welcome screen.
The speaker always works.
The test on microphone works sometime and does not work sometime.
Help please! I have less than 24 hours to make a very important call over Skype!

I solve the issue. After I have updated the system using Lenovo's own software update, the microphone works! I hate it. I think I have run many many times the Windows update but it does not pick up the Lenovo software.
So solution: Always update your computer system software. If it is a laptop, be sure to use it's own software updater!

I can't access my own files

I have been having a problem with my external hard drive, I think it is about to die, so I am in the process of copying all my files/folders to my wifes computer, which has a much bigger internal harddrive than my computer, but I have another problem besides the drive itself. I have run into this problem ever since running Vista, and thats the stupid security. Security isnt stupid, but you have to be a professional IT person to figure out the way Vista security works. Those stupid dialog boxes were definately NOT intended for the home user. I have files that I want to copy that aparently I dont have access to, even though I am the one who created them. I found an account named "Unknown Account (S-1-5-21......) that I am sure came from a user account that I had in a different incarnation of Windows Vista, and since have reinstalled. So I know where the SID came from, but because of that I am denied access to the files. When I try to remove that account, I am told that I cannot remove that account because of inherited permissions and I should disable inheriting permissions. When I untick that option, I am told that NO ONE will be able to access the files. When I go up one level, where the permissions are supposedly inherited from, that account isnt listed. What the helll? I want access to my files! What do I do?

Hi,
Thanks for posting in Microsoft TechNet Forum.
According to your description, for further troubleshooting, please help to confirm the following items.
1.     Is this issue occurring on your wife's computer during the process of copying files or on your own computer while running Windows Vista? Where are these files located?
2.     Does the current user belong to a group of administrators or a group of standard users?
3.     As you mentioned above that your external hard drive is about to die, it may be related to hardware defect. So could you please describe the symptoms in details?
By the way, I would like to suggest that you try to take ownership of these files then see if you can access them.
If you can’t access the external disk totally, try to take ownership of the hard drive:
1)     Click Start –> All Programs ->Accessories
2)     Right-click Command Prompt and select Run as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type your password or click Continue
3)     Type: takeown /f filepath (Replace filepath with the location of your drive, example d:\)
4)     Press Enter, you will be prompted with completed successfully message.
5)     Type: icacls filepath /grant yourusername:f (Replace filepath with the location of your drive, and yourusername with your profile name)
6)     Press Enter, you will be prompted with completed successfully message.
7)     Then try to delete files in this drive and see if it works.
If it is just due to specific files and folders, try to take ownership of these files and folders:

Can't access my own website and manage it using Safari!! Very annoying! _

If anyone can help me or give me an answer that would be great and highly appreciated! I am new to Mac!!!
I am having trouble accessing my own online shop as Safari doesn't support Java Script or something like that (i know nothing about it)? I can see it but once logged into the site to manage it, the buttons wont click (am I making sense?)
Even accessing Ebay is giving me trouble as well!!! Like I can't see what I am posting and how it looks in Ebay when writing up the description!! I have to use either Firefox or IE on another computer to write them and post them. I am really getting mad!!!! Can someone give me a solution??
Please I need help desperately!!

Hi
Welcome to Apple Discussions and Mac Computing
Safari does support Javascript. However, it's possible the coding for your Online shop is using a version of JS not compatible with Safari and possibly the Mac Platform.
To be sure Safari is set up to access JS content, go to your Safari Menu (next to the Apple logo in the upper left of your monitor)>Preferences (a short cut for preferences for most applications is pressing the Command and , keys). When Safari Preference opens, click on the Security panel (if you don't see multiple panels listed, click on the small pill button in the upper right of the Preference panel). Make sure the 4 WebContent boxes are checked.
Try your web site. If no success, post the URL of your web site here and I'll be glad to try it.
eBay is a different story. The site is not the friendliest for Safari due to their odd approach to site coding, especially for Sellers. From what others have posted in this forum, using Firefox is a better alternative when listing/posting product.
Safari is quite strict about following industry standards promulgated by the Web Standards Project. In part, this endeavor strives to create uniformity and better security on the Internet through specific guidelines for site coding.
Unfortunately, sloppy coding practices exist on some sites, creating functional challenges for browsers. Also, as Microsoft's Internet Explorer is used by a majority of PC owners (certainly not because it's a quality product), some web developers tend to code sites specific to IE without considering whether other browsers can render the content. Besides being very short-sighted, this type of work devalues the use of the Internet as a viable and secure structure for communication and commerce.
The good news about owning a Mac is the lack of viruses, spy and malware, and poorly constructed operating systems such as Windows Vista and XP. Working around Mac-bias, when encountered, is the primary challenge.

Can't Access My Own Website when using TMobile phone as Modem

I am using my Nokia 5310 as a bluetooth modem through TMobile on my MacBook. When I try to access my own website, it redirects me to a address that says, "Great Success! Apache is working on your website..." and so on. However, when I disconnect the modem and use my airport bluetooth connection I can get to my site immediately. I've tried rebooting my MacBook, pulling the battery out of the phone, refreshing the browser, emptying the cache, all to no avail. I called Tmobile and got their "Tier 3" people who said it's not from their side but could not give me any real reason it's doing this. They reconfigured my settings to see if that would work but it didn't.
I can access all other sites but my own website. I tried Firefox and got the same conclusion.
If it's the computer why would I be able to get to my site when I use my airport? If it's the phone, why would I be able to access the site through the web browser on my phone?
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to correct this problem? Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi halacious, and a warm welcome to the forums!
Airport & Bluetooth are two separate Interfaces, so that is a bit confusing.
Where is this Website hosted? Locally on your own machine, or on the Internet?
Any Router involved there?

You can't access your own content from the top menu anymore?

Apple made a monumental FAIL decision for me regarding the new Apple TV.
They really want to force feed their iTunes store to us so badly that they have now stripped all of your own content from the main menu.
No longer can you go to TV Shows and watch... well, YOUR TV shows. Apple buried all of your personal content a couple of menus deep. In fact, the entire Music category is Now gone! Unbelievable!
And I can't use album covers for a screen saver anymore? That was a great feature! i guess they don't want music associated with a TV device. Very bad decision in my opinion.
This unit is a step BACK, not forward.
Am is missing something? is there a way to get this content back to the front so I can easily access my stuff?

Help - can't access my staging web site

Hello
A while back I wrote in seeking advice re: losing my access to a staging web site - Camelot kindly wrote the following, which I did but it didn't work...
"Provided you're an admin on your system the easiest way is to open /Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app and run the command:
sudo echo "11.11.111.111 www.ekekekek.com" >> /etc/hosts
exactly as written (changing the IP address if you need to). This command uses sudo to elevate your privileges. You'll be asked to authenticate by typing in your password (which won't be visible), then it'll run the 'echo' command which simply prints whatever's within the quotes and appends it to the file /etc/hosts. "
Very helpful, but it didn't give me access to my staging site...last week my mac G5 crashed and had a kernel panic - spent about 1 1/2 days on the phone with half a dozen Apple techs trying to fix - it's fixed but now for whatever reason I can't access my Staging web site through any browser, though our live site is OK from any browser.
So what can I do to again have access to the staging site? Are there more steps I should know in addition to Camelot's directions? What?
I'm not a techy at all but designer so the more specific, very much appreciated.
Thanks very much
Kent

OK so I figured out that I was supposed to go to
Terminal/file/New Command to type in Camelot's code -
which I did, got the password prompt, wrote it, it
accepted it and came back with this: (the IP and name
below, I've changed for this post only)
"12.12.121.271 www.mycertainname.com">>/etc/hosts
[Process completed]
Hmm. That looks a little odd to me. First off, did you include the "sudo echo" part at the beginning from Camelot's post? I'm also a little curious about the "[process completed]" part. Usually, I come straight back to the prompt.
But when I now go to type in my staging site's name
in the browser, I get another web site which has the
same name, still can't access this site of mine.
I don't give my staging sites the same names, so I'm not sure how that would work if it had the same name as another site. For example, if I have a domain called "mydomain.com," the real web server would be "www.mydomain.com" and my staging server would be
something like "staging.mydomain.com." That way, if I want to look at the real site, I type in one address. I type in the other if I want the staging server. You can't (easily) have the same text address (www.mydomain.com) resolve to different IP addresses. That requires some special DNS tricks that are beyond the abilities of the /etc/hosts file.
At this point, re-run this Terminal command and post the results:
<pre class="command">cat /etc/hosts</pre>Also, I can't figure out how to do this from the Network Utility, but you can check and see where your Mac is getting its lookup information by using another Terminal program called lookupd. You can also use it to flush the DNS cache, in case that's what's causing it to go to the other site. To flush the cache, type this in the Terminal at the prompt:
<pre class="command">sudo lookupd -flushcache</pre>You should just get the prompt back when it's done. There's no feedback.
To check where your Mac is getting its lookups, you use lookupd in an interactive mode. First, you type:
<pre class="command">lookupd -d</pre>At the prompt in the Terminal window. Then you'll get a few lines of text and a ">" prompt. Type "hostWithName", then a space and your host's name, so it looks like this:
<pre class="command">> hostWithName: www.apple.com</pre>When you hit the enter key, it'll do the lookup and give you a few lines information:
<pre class="command">Dictionary: "DNS: host www.apple.com.akadns.net"
lookup_DNSdomain: apple.com.akadns.net
lookup_DNSserver: 208.67.222.222
lookup_DNS_time_tolive: 58
lookup_DNStimestamp: 1167796142
lookupagent: DNSAgent
lookup_infosystem: DNS
interface: 4
ip_address: 17.112.152.32
name: www.apple.com.akadns.net www.apple.com
+ Category: host
+ Time to live: 43200
+ Age: 0 (expires in 43200 seconds)
+ Negative: No
+ Cache hits: 0
+ Retain count: 4</pre>Notice how it mentions DNS servers in several places, including "DNSAgent". That meant it used the DNS server at 208.67.222.222 to find the address for www.apple.com. Now, if I try it with a staging server (hosted on my iMac in this case), see what happens:
<pre class="command">> hostWithName: test.mydomain.com
Dictionary: "FF: host test.mydomain.com"
lookupagent: FFAgent
lookupvalidation: /etc/hosts 2 1166756640
ip_address: 127.0.0.1
name: test.mydomain.com
+ Category: host
+ Time to live: 43200
+ Age: 0 (expires in 43200 seconds)
+ Negative: No
+ Cache hits: 0
+ Retain count: 3</pre>Now, see how it says it looked it up using the FFAgent (Flat File), and even says it got it from /etc/hosts? If you're seeing anything except for FFAgent, then it's not looking in /etc/hosts for the info. There are ways to change the lookup order lookupd uses, but I'm pretty certain it was already set to use the flat files before DNS way before Panther.
To quit the lookupd program, just type "quit" at the prompt.

I can access my time capsule from my mac mini at work but my macbook can only access it from my home network. how do i fix this?

I have a Mac Mini and a MacBook, both were configured at home to access the time capsule. I have since moved the mini to work to use there and it has no issues looking up files on the time capsule which remains at home. The macbook whoever can only access the time capsule from within the home network. I can't seem to find what I may have done differently. Can anybody help?
Not sure if your allowed to post two questions, but it's may be related. I find that accessing the files on the time capsule from the mac mini or the macbook is very slow. Accessing the same files from an older HP laptop is as fast as accessing its own hard drive. How can I speed up the accessing of these files from my apple products. One would think they would work fast and the 'windows' computers would take minutes to map the drive each time...
Thanks for any help.

I have since moved the mini to work to use there and it has no issues looking up files on the time capsule which remains at home.
This cannot happen by magic though.. you must have configured the mini to access the TC remotely.. which method are you using, BTMM and iCloud??
The macbook whoever can only access the time capsule from within the home network. I can't seem to find what I may have done differently. Can anybody help?
How is the Macbook configured to access the TC remotely?? If you are trying to use BTMM and iCloud, then it might be a case that with the mini running the connection cannot be done by more than one computer at a time.. this is generally the case although I do not know if that is specifically true of BTMM method. Try turning off the mini and leave it off.. (off not standby)... then reboot the TC when you are at home.. and then try and connect the laptop to the TC the next morning from work. See if it is then able to capture the connection.. if so start up the mini and I suspect it now will not be able to connect.. that will prove that the TC cannot cope with two remote connections.
There also could be another factor in here. If you are accessing the laptop via the same router as the mini is on.. then actually you cannot have two users mount the same files on a TC.. from the same IP address.. as far as the TC is concerned both devices have identical IP, that is the public IP of the work location router.
If you happen to not be using BTMM then the situation is even easier.. you cannot make two different devices connect to the same network resource using the same port. That is the failing of the NAT system.. one device uses the port then it cannot be used by a second device. You will need to do some fancy footwork and use a different port.
Anyhow tell us exactly how you are doing remote access.. otherwise I am just guessing.
Not sure if your allowed to post two questions, but it's may be related. I find that accessing the files on the time capsule from the mac mini or the macbook is very slow.
Are you talking about files you are hosting on the TC?? Not Time Machine backups??
Can you tell me exactly how you are accessing the TC.. please do a test..
Copy a file to the TC and from the TC using the Laptop.. Use a single very large file, eg 1GB movie file.
Give me a read and write speed.. you can use activity monitor to give me an aprox average speed as well as peak.
Do the same test from the same computer with wireless turned off running ethernet.
Then do the tests from the mini.. same ones.. copy large file to and from the TC by ethernet and by wireless.. when using ethernet make sure wireless is off.
I strongly recommend you set IPv6 to link local only for your wireless and ethernet setup in the Mac.
eg
Now do the test from the HP laptop and give me the results from that.
Is the issue wireless only.. ??
Then you might need to spend a bit of time fixing the wireless in the Macs.. you can run wireless diagnostics in Mavericks.
