Imac internal router problem

We are using Bell Wimax to connect to the internet and due to their towers being down for 2 weeks, we had lost our internet connection. It is back up and running, however we no longer can connect wirelessly to the computer. I was using the imac as the router and have tried to reestablish a connection, however the other computers can't connect. They recognize and register the signal but won't join in. I have tried to reset the location and then redo the sharing, but again, it did not work.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
First off, the folks in the G5 forums may assist you better;

You might make sure that your Audio MIDI Setup has not been reconfigured. I can't guarantee what is correct for a G5 PPC, just an Intel. The actual setting can be found in Apps/Utilities/Audio MIDI Setup;

  • IMac internal microphone problems

    I have a recurring issue with the internal microphone in my iMac. Occasionally, it will just stop working and won't pick up any sounds. The two resolutions I've found are to either unplug and re-plug the external speakers I have connected (strange) or, when that doesn't work, to restart the computer (less strange). Has anyone had a similar problem with their iMac? Adjusting the settings in the sound control panel does nothing to make this work. It seems that this is a software problem, since it's always fixed by restarting, but of course I'd like to find some way to fix this without having to restart. Thanks.

    I am encountering similar issues, looking at the sound preference pane, I can see that the microphone is showing noise, this is duplicated on a skype test call... just noise no external sound is being picked up. Steps I have taken so far are:
    Zapped the PRAM
    Thrown away my sound preferences
    Ran software update
    Restarted the iMac a few times
    Another thing to note is that the microphone was working ok this morning, then the sound started to degrade and now just noise.
    Thanks in advance for any help or direction to solve this!
    Cheers,
    Sean

  • Imac intel browser problem

    I am using a iMac intel 2Ghz core duo, on 10.6.8, it is about 8 years old, and very recently I have been experiencing a problem with Safari, when I try to open a webpage the progress bar will start to move the it will lock up, if I do a reboot, it will rectify the problem temporarily, but then the problem returns, I have turned off the IPV6, all to no avail.
    I am using the new BT Hub 4, and it does not appear to be a router problem, as everything else is working fine, i.e. two ipads, and a Macbook Pro.
    Maybe the old lass is getting a bit old.
    Any Ideas
    Many Thanks.

    Have you tried emptying the cache or resetting Safari?  In the Menu bar go to Safari >> Reset Safari.  This will give you numerous options of browser items you can reset.  On a more lighter note you can try emptying the cache which is Safari >> Empty Cache.  This will clear files that Safari stores to help previous webpages load faster.

  • Frozen iMac with Network problems

    I have a 21.5 inch iMac purchased around Nov'12. Three days ago, suddenly no web page could be opened. I thought it to be a problem of my router but when I found out that I was able to use the Internet perfectly from my MacBook, I restarted my iMac but the problem remained. I shut it down & then restarted it... Now it showed only a white screen with the Apple logo on it and the waiting symbol. This remained till hours until I got irritated and switched off the power supply. I switched on the next consecutive days but the problem persisted. Today fortunately my iMac started.. The home screen has come... It is able to recognise my wifi & Ethernet but does not open any web page. Going to system preferences and then to Networks is hanging the system preferences window. When I force quit it, it says to file a report to Apple.... But the problem doesn't get solved... I always believed Apple as a company whose products never hanged up or faced hardware or software issues!!!

    Hello,
    If 10.7.0 or later...
    Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions, reboot.
    If you still have problems, this has worked for a few...
    Make a New Location, Using network locations in Mac OS X ...
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2712
    10.7 & 10.8…
    System Preferences>Network, top of window>Locations>Edit Locations, little plus icon, give it a name.
    10.5.x/10.6.x/10.7.x instructions...
    System Preferences>Network, click on the little gear at the bottom next to the + & - icons, (unlock lock first if locked), choose Set Service Order.
    The interface that connects to the Internet should be dragged to the top of the list.
    10.4 instructions...
    Is that Interface dragged to the top of Network>Show:>Network Port Configurations.
    If using Wifi/Airport...
    Instead of joining your Network from the list, click the WiFi icon at the top, and click join other network. Fill in everything as needed.
    For 10.5/10.6/10.7/10.8, System Preferences>Network, unlock the lock if need be, highlight the Interface you use to connect to Internet, click on the advanced button, click on the DNS tab, click on the little plus icon, then add these numbers...

  • What is the technical 'cause' of the infamous iMac black screen problem?

    Can anybody shed some light on what technical malfunction exactly causes the infamous iMac black screen problem? The common solution seems to be a logic board replacement. But what exactly is broken on the logic board? Is it the Geforce chip? Some kind of external driver circuitry? Or something completely different?

    I was referring to the many problems also described in this thread (and also in many other places):
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=196774&tstart=0
    In specific I am referring to machines where all of this applies:
    - internal monitor stays black after power-on
    - computer boots normally
    - external display works normally
    - internal display backlight works and can be adjusted in brightness, but all pixels are black
    - PRAM reset doesn't help
    - NVRAM reset doesn't help
    - PMU reset doesn't help
    - reinstalling OS / booting from CD doesn't help
    - machines with this problem sent to repair come back with a replaced logic board
    I'm looking for more information on the technical cause of the exact problem as stated above. So I can attempt to repair my iMac

  • Weird Internal Routing

    Hi Guys,
    Logic 8 has worked fine for over a year untill I used it with an Edirol firewire interface. I just have the sound coming out of the macbook pro's line out now and I get this very strange internal routing of the audio on one channel to other audio channels, basically doubling itself. It also does this when I drop in a loop from the loop browser.
    If anyone can tell me how to sort this problem I'd be really appreciative.
    I have one more issue also. I use EZ Drummer within Logic and want to mix each part of the kit separately. I've done the multichannel thing and then hit the plus sign in L8's mixer but all I get is a new aux channel. I've rescanned with the audio units manager but it does nothing, does anybody know how to fix this bug?
    Best,
    Alex

    Make sure "Universal Track Mode" in Preferences/Audio is enabled.

    Alex, now set the Input of the newly created Aux track to one of the Multi-outs made available by EZDrummer.

  • Partitionning iMac internal HD in order to use MBA as main computer?

    I'm planning to use my late 2011 MBA (with the lid down) plugged to the Thunderbolt equipped iMac I'm buying now.
    The MBA would therefore become my main machine (I'm actually replacing my actual iMac which is not Thunderbolt equipped. The new Thunderbolt equipped iMac will be used only for tasks I can't perform with the MBA and as a replacement machine in case my MBA goes to repair, right).
    I would like to store all my data (pictures, films, websites projects, documents, iTunes & Aperture libraries, and so forth) on the new iMac's internal HD, the advantage being I could access the mentioned data at Thunderbolt speed without having to purchase an external Thunderbolt HD.
    I'm thinking of creating 2 partitions on the iMac internal HD:
    - one partition for the iMac
    - a second partition the as my data repository I would access mainly from the MBA - and also from the iMac when needed.
    Hence my questions:
    - is it a good idea? if not, what could be the problem?
    - if somebody has a better solution, please let me know.

    If your backup external drive has a power brick the Thunderbolt<->FW adaptor will work, many bus powered drives require more power than Thunderbolt provides. However you may be fine with USB. Your first TimeMachine backup will take a while, subsequent backups are shorter because they are incremental. I tend to connect my MBA to its external USB TM drive once or twice a day at home and the backup takes just a few minutes unless I install a big OS or program update. I strongly recommend against connecting the drive to your base station - for whatever reason at some point - days, weeks or months later - the backup session will fail and after that nothing will get it going again except formatting the drive and starting over. Apple doesn't support this form of wireless backup.
    Take a good look at your current drive use and try to think back to estimate how your drive has expanded over the last couple years. Adding a larger drive to the MBA later is expensive and carrying around an external drive isn't particularly fun. Will 256GB be sufficient 2 years from now? Remember, you need to keep 10-15GB free for temporary files.
    Finally, remember that a computer you carry around is at greater risk than the one sitting on your desk. A single backup drive is better than most have but two is better. A third kept somewhere other than the home is best. I like having one of those backups being a clone because I can boot up with it and get right back to work.

  • I replaced my 2010-2011 iMac internal HD i dont have an install disk i created one with my external HD but when i go to install lion onto my imac it stays at the apple logo screen.HELP ME PLEASE!

    I replaced my 2010-2011 iMac internal HD i dont have an install disk i created one with my external HD but when i go to install lion onto my imac it stays at the apple logo screen.HELP ME PLEASE!

    Boot from the original Install disc that came with the computer and then format the drive Mac OS Extended (Journaled) using the GUID partition. Then  you can re-install OS X. If you no longer have the original media call AppleCare with the serial number of the machine (look on the bottom of the stand) and for a nominal fee they will ship you replacement media.
    The chances are very good you will have fan problems if you used an off-the-shelf HD, beginning in 2009 Apple began using HD's from vendors that incorporated heat sensors into the HD. If you did not buy the same type of HD your computer will think the HD is overheating causing the fans to run at full speed.

  • 3560 PBR including internal routes help

    I'm attempting to use PBR on a 3560 switch.  Everything seems to be working OK but we have some periodic CPU interupt spikes that are effecting performance.
    I have three vlans
    vlan 1 - 172.19.142.0/24
    vlan 2 - 172.20.142.0/24
    vlan 3 - 173.23.142.0/24
    route-map PBR permit 10
    match ip address 140
    set ip next-hop 192.168.250.2
    I'm trying to policy route all www and ssl traffic
    ip access-list 140 permit tcp any any eq www
    ip access-list 140 permit tcp any any eq 443
    However I have two problems
    1)I have internal web services, so I need www traffic from 172.23.142.0/24 ro route to 172.19.142.0/24 and this policy sends all www traffic out next hop of 192.168.250.2
    2)When I add to acl 140
    ip access-list 140 deny tcp 172.23.142.0 0.0.0.255 172.19.142.0 0.0.0.255 www
    The policy works as expected but CPU starts to spike.
    If I try to use 'set ip default next-hop XXXX' or change to 'route-map PBR deny 10' (for internal routed) the ip policy route-map pbr statement disappears from the vlan interface and cannot be re-added.  No errors are displayed, it's just like the command is ignored.
    I've looked at:
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/switches/ps5023/products_tech_note09186a00807213f5.shtml#pbr
    Specifically
    •Do not match ACLs that permit packets destined for a local address
    •Do not match ACLs with deny ACEs
    I'm looking for a way to impliment PBR for selective traffic (www and 443), but keep the internal routing intact using the same protocols (www and 443).
    Any suggestions would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Tom

    I'm not entirely sure this will work but it is worth a try. if you can't use local subnets then you need to specify all possible internet addresses. The acl below uses wildcard masks to specify every possible internet address. Due to the way wildcard masks work all traffic between 172.16.x.x and 172.31.x subnets do not match the acl. if you wanted to be more specific to your subnets you could be but it would make the acl considerably longer. But as this whole range is private addressing it doesn't really matter or shouldn't.
    Also to keep the acl short it does allow traffic to the other private address ranges ie. 10.x.x.x and 192.168.x.x  but then so did your original acl. So you only need one permit statement in your route map with sets the next hop to 192.168.250.2.
    I have assumed that you do not have any http/https traffic between internal subnets that you actually want to policy route. If you do this acl would not match and therefore they would be routed using the normal routing table.

  • Can time capsule back up an external hard drive attached to my imac and the iMac internal Harddrive

    Can time capsule back up an external hard drive attached to my imac and the iMac internal Harddrive

    In addition to Kappy's comments, the external drive must be formatted in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) in order for Time Machine to be able to back it up.

  • IMac internal optical drive reads and plays cd's but DVD's spin for a few moments then eject. Then any drive utility access results in the spinning wheel of doom. Then the optical drive doesn't show up anywhere until a restart. OSX 10.6.8 - Intel Core 2

    iMac internal drive locks up after trying to play a DVD. CD's work properly. All preference settings are correct. I have tried several different DVD's that work in other drives. Drive is : HL-DT-ST DVDRW GA11N. After spinning wheel of doom goes away, so does the optical drive in Disk Utility and System Profiler and no disks work because the drive isn't there until a restsrt. Any ideas? Thanks.

    The battery alone is a $5 to $15 part.  Hard drives vary in cost, and depending on the iMac, they may or may not be able to install a third party hard drive, or one resold through Apple.    The resold through Apple drives tend to cost more.  This article discusses the varying successes of third party drives on iMacs:
    http://blog.macsales.com/10146-apple-further-restricts-upgrade-options-on-new-im acs 
    The labor costs depend on the store as well as the time to get the parts in stock.    Call around.

    I realize is only 512MB of memory but I want to make sure that a new iMac will solve this problem.  Can the new iPhoto handle 10GB or more of photos?  Or do I have to go to Picasa anyways in which case I can buy any computer to do that?

    The model of Mac is not partcularly relevant, it's the version of the OS and iPhoto that matter.
    iPhoto - since 2006 - is good for 250,000 images.

    Hi,
    There is a solved thread on this page about this error. The solution is to replace the battery because its storage capacity is low. The right part number can be found in a maintenance and service guide. Go to Support and Drivers page, enter your model and look in User Guides section.

  • IMac - internal or external DVD?

    iMac - internal or external DVD? That is the question...
    Can you install a normal DVD burner in an iMac 800MHz flat panel?
    If so, can anyone advice on the technical proceedure?
    If installing an internal drive is easy enough to do, can you please advise on types, makes or specs to install.
    My current DVD drive runs slow and I'd like a DVD burner, so is a seperate external drive the better option?
    External drives just seem so expensive. THANK YOU!

    Hello, 
    Internal.
    Most replacement optical drives should work under Tiger fine. If not Patchburn will be the driver you need.
    Most of us have Pioneer 'superdrives' installed by Apple so it seems sensible to stick with that product line.
    The DVR-112 (18x DVD±RW DL for £21) seems a good deal to me (plus and hour or two of your time).
    It's pretty fiddly to work inside an iMac G4 so you must be cautious. Always take anti-static precautions. Here are three options for guiding you through the procedure:
    MacWorld
    xlr8yourmac
    Service Manuals
    I've also taken a fair few photos which you can find here.
    I'd advise reading the reports on the xlr8yourmac drive database so get other people's experiences first.
    You must replace the Thermal Paste when you close the iMac up or it will overheat.
    It's probably worth replacing the PRAM Battery whilst you're in there as these have a finite life (once they fail to re-charge you may start to run in to snags - it's only a £5 part).
    External.
    A whole lot less effort to install and should you upgrade to an Intel iMac / Mac Mini/ MacBook in the future you'll have access to this faster desktop spec tray loading drive rather than the slow laptop spec slot drive installed in these current Macs.
    Let us know how you get on/what you decide.
