Ipad2 no longer able to share imac's ethernet via internet sharing.

Worked flawlessly up to about 30 ft before. Immdiate hook up when in range. Have tried a lot of things to no avail. Something is interfering. Any ideas?

  • No longer able to access the "Advanced" options via the Inspector Chart Series Advanced sequence

    In iWorks9 Numbers in attempting to add trendline to a line chart I am suddenly no longer able to access the options under "Advanced" via the Click On Chart Line>Inspector>Chart>Series>Advanced sequence because the triangle button adjacent to Advanced is not highlighted and does not open up when clicked upon. Ideas?

    well ... I spent some time this afternoon repairing disk permissions, checking application preferences, etc. and don't think I found anything directly related to this problem but after a few hours I returned to Numbers and lo and behold something changed and everything is working fine ... and I have no idea what was the cause and what was the fix but I'll take it. Heisenberg was right.

  • Can't connect ipad to Mountain Lion iMac via Internet sharing?

    Hello,
    I've always used Internet Sharing to create a wifi hotspot from my iMac, so that I can get an internet connection on my iPad.  After updating to Mountain Lion this does not seem to work.  Anyone know how?
    The hotspot generated by my iMac's internet sharing has never worked with my Kindle, but I would at least expect it to work with Apple's own products.  Hoepfully someone knows a solution?
    Thanks
    Bob

    Seems that the issue is something to do with connecting via WPA2. When I set Internet Sharing to use WEP (by option-clicking the security menu), I'm then able to see the network shares and the printer.

  • Mac pro no longer connects to web via internet sharing

    My Mac Pro does not have an airport card so I have often used a PowerBook G4 or MacBook Pro to share a wireless internet connection via ethernet. A few months ago this method began failing but I was able to share a connection via firewire. Now I am not able to do either.
    I have attempted to use both the mbp and the pbg4 to no avail using both ethernet and firewire for days, employing various troubleshooting methods including zapping PRAM, repairing permissions, and dumping network cache. I've tried static IP addresses and manual setups. The mac pro shows that it is connected to a network and displays all the proper IP information but is unable to load a web page and the diagnostics window shows an ISP, server, and internet failure regardless of any changes I make to network settings on it or the mbp/pbg4. Meanwhile, the laptops are connected to the internet just fine and are able to share a connection with each other.
    What can I do to make my tower susceptible to internet sharing once again?

    Your local LAN runs through your router.
    All your ethernet  ports, and your modem and router, should be behind and filtered from excess current. That means a UPS generally. And run input line thru UPS (coax) first, then run RJ45 back through UPS again (there can still be excess surge or current on the line).
    Modems and routers can be compromised by surge outage or storm. So can ethernet  ports.
    You have two ethernet ports and you tried with both also.
    What you did not do that I would have added is SMC Reset / Reset NVRAM/PRAM.
    This is what I have had for the last year, very nice and stronger  signals thruout the house.

  • Can't see printer or shares when connected via Internet Sharing

    I recently switched from a 2006 to a 2008 Mac Pro. Rather than do a migration I simply took the hard drives from the old machine and put them in the new one.
    I then upgraded to Mountain Lion.
    I use Internet Sharing to share my Mac Pro's Ethernet connection via wifi, but the other Macs can't see the Mac Pro's printer or shares when connected in this way. They can access the internet. If I connect a machine via the LAN rather than Internet Sharing, the shares and printer are visible.
    This worked fine on Lion on the old machine. Any ideas?

    Seems that the issue is something to do with connecting via WPA2. When I set Internet Sharing to use WEP (by option-clicking the security menu), I'm then able to see the network shares and the printer.

  • XP can't connect to iMac-based AirPort for Internet Sharing

    (I apologize if there's already an answer to my issue out there somewhere; I promise that I searched for it before posting)
    Hello!
    I have an iMac running Tiger (and connected to the internet via ethernet -> cable modem), and I want to use it as a hub for encrypted Internet Sharing. I have two other machines, an older iMac and a WinXP laptop. As you might expect, I have no problem whatsoever setting up the network and getting the old iMac to see it, connect, and so on. The XP machine can see the network, and, when encryption is off, can connect to it, but I really want to run encryption.
    I'm sure I'm not the first person to run into this problem, and I have found a couple of websites that discuss it -- however, I can't seem to make it work. Does anyone out there in forum land know of a step-by-step tutorial that would cover setting up encrypted Internet Sharing (over AirPort) on an iMac so that another iMac and an XP machine can connect? Any guidance you can offer would be most welcome.
    Thanks in advance,
    Dieter

    Just to give a bit of an update, I chatted with Apple support, and in essence they told me that I had to take this up with the manufacturer of my XP laptop's wireless card -- understandable, given that my old iMac works just fine on the network (so the problem really isn't on the Mac end of things).
    I tried using the information at http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20030803030354585, but no dice, unfortunately; maybe that will work for someone else, however.
    I also found out something new -- I thought my XP laptop could connect to my AirPort network when encryption was off, but I was wrong. Instead, it just says "trying to connect," but nothing ever happens. But I CAN use the XP box to connect to other wireless networks in the neighborhood (shh, don't tell). So it looks like there's a deeper issue.
    Please -- I know that someone out there has an answer; I really need to be able to make this work.
    Thanks again,
    Dieter

  • IMac & Snow Leopard - Airport internet sharing: WEP only?

    Hello guys, happy owner of a 24 inche iMac.
    Found out I can turn my iMac into a wireless access point by enabling airport internet sharing (system preferences > Sharing > Internet). That's nice because in my setup that would be better than paying for a wireless router and having even more cables and ac adapters cluttering up the place.
    But, the airport settings for internet sharing only allows for WEP. No WPA??? That's a bit surprising, and a bit disappointing. I'd rather leave this sharing enabled all the time and I'm not thrilled about using WEP (everybody says it's pretty unsafe)like that.
    Is there a way around that?

    I a in a similar situation. I am sharing my cable/ethernet connection with a powerbook & an iphone quite happily. But my niece's pc will not connect. It insists on WPA, stating that the WEP is not secure enough, yet it quite happily connects if I remove the pass key altogether.
    Can anyone help?
    The pc does suggest performing a manual connection but I cannot find the details (ip address etc) in my iMac

  • IMac creating VPN for ATV 2 via Internet Sharing...

    Apologies for the complex nature of this problem/question. Any guidance you (the great and the good of the Apple eco-system) can offer will be gratefully received.
    First up, most of what I set out below works fine. Or should I say, it all works fine, but intermittently fails on me. And I realise it's possibly a 'home network configuration' issue, but I'd still appreciate someone with the requisite skills checking this over....
    The following feature in my set up, all running latest software versions:
    1. a late 2012 iMac running Mountain Lion.
    2. an Apple TV 2.
    3. a first generation Time Capsule.
    4. a Strong VPN account.
    5. an ADSL modem / router.
    As it stands:
    the Time Capsule is connected to the ADSL modem via Ethernet.
    the ADSL modem / router is configured as DHCP.
    the ADSL modem / router is configured to provide a 802.11g network - SLOWNET
    the Time Capsule is configured in Bridge mode.
    the Time Capsule is configured to provide a 802.11n WiFi network - FASTNET
    the iMac is connected to the Time Capsule via Ethernet.
    the iMac is configured to establish a VPN connection.
    the iMac is configured to create a WiFi network - VPNNET
    the VPN connection is shared using 'Internet Sharing' to users of VPNNET.
    Apple TV connects to VPNNET.
    All works, and all is well. EXCEPT:
    1. regularly ATV loses the connection to VPNNET, usually when it (ATV) hasn't been used for a while, hence VPNNET likely to have been disconnected / reconnected since ATV last accessed it. Having lost the network connection, it can take over one hour to get it back. Sometimes it can't see VPNNET, sometimes it connects but can't see the Internet - and occasionally  I've changed DNS server address in ATV to Google (8.8.8.8) and it kicked it back into life.
    2. Home Sharing on ATV doesn't work when it's connected to VPNNET - I have to connect to FASTNET to get it to work.
    So the questions I have are:
    1. How should DHCP be set up on my network, Time Capsule, modem / router, doesn't matter? What about on the iMac for VPNNET?
    2. Is there a way to configure the above kit, and have the VPN and Home Sharing working at the same time?
    3. Where / How should DNS be configured in my set up?
    As I write this down I'm forced to  acknowledge just how involved it is, and don't hold out much hope of someone coming along with a simple "change these settings and problem over" solution - but I can live in hope!
    Thanks for reading to the end.

  • Itunes 8.1 no longer able to share files across my network

    I run 4 computers in the house and have all my video housed in one central point (a pc). Everything ran great until the new Itunes. Now i am unable to access anything on the PC. any advice? The rest of the computers are mac's and seem to be ok. The PC library shows up but when you click on it it just disappears. And just to beat the unhelpful to the punch. Yes I could just go all apple but I need my pc box for some applications. Any advice would be great.
    It used to "just work" but I fear that era is over and done.

    I had the same problem. I was first getting an error on my PC about the library being created with a newer version of iTunes. I upgraded my PC to 8.1 and am now receiving the following error when trying to open up the shared library:
    "The iTunes application could not be opened. An unknown error occurred (13005)."

  • No longer able to send faxes from C7510 via eFax

    The eFax service from my C7510 all-in-all stopped working suddenly.  I used it successfully over the last year.  Now when I want to use it to send a fax, I'm promted from the printer screen to log in or register.  When I attempt either one, I get the message "can not complete your request".  Has something changed?  I can log in to eFax.com from my computer with my credentials just fine.  

    Hi @GG09

  • Best way to connect to Imac using MAcbook via internet

    Hi all right I am wanting to connect to my Imac at home which is connected to the internet via my Macbook which could be any where in the World but is still connected to the internet which is the best way to get access to the HD to I can use the Itunes library on the Imac on my Macbook , Look at Files and Copy and Edit files on Imac ?
    could you also try and provide me with a link to a tutorial ?

    There is a built-in utility, which requires a subscription to MobileMe, called 'Back to my Mac'. It's had its ups and downs, but there are also other products which could produce more stable results like gotomypc
    I would still recommend the Back to my Mac via MobileMe subscription.

  • IMac 10.8 Internet sharing stopped working after upgrade from 10.7

    My iMac 27 (10.7) with Internet Sharing enabled has been working perfectly since last year. After upgrading to 10.8, I noticed the up arrow flashes and goes to regular WiFi mode. Stopping/starting the service causes the up arrow to flash again and immediately default to WiFi. I removed Ethernet and WiFi options from Network settings and re-installed which solved the Internet sharing from flashing and defaulting to WiFi mode. However, connecting to the Internet sharing from other devices (iphone/ipad) does not work and will not connect to the internet. On the iMac, I'm able to browse the Internet without issues.
    If I disconnect the Ethernet cable and plug into either my MacBook or MacBook Pro and enable Internet sharing, everything works perfectly and all my other devices can use the Internet.
    Now sure how to further troubleshoot and resolve this issue. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I should add that the iMac is running Mac OS X Server which was also upgraded to 10.8. I was looking inside the Server for security options that restricted internet access via Internet sharing. Nothing.
    Thank you!
    David

    Thanks for your answer.
    Unfortunately this isn't a solution for my problem. As I understood, you showed me that your IP addresses had changed after enabling/disabling internet sharing. I checked my IP addresses after enabling/disabling internet sharing by using "ifconfig" but they are the same as set manually before.
    My other strange observation regarding the ping command has gone now. After switching on internet sharing I had to disconnect the ethernet cable and plug it in again. Then the ping between both computers is working (but still not internet sharing).
    Anyway ... thanks for your help!
