Networking through firewire doesn't work

I have about 100GB worth of data on my MacBook Pro (running 10.6.4) that I'm trying to transfer over to my G4 (1 GHz FW 800, running 10.5.8 Server) through firewire. But when I connect my MBP to my G4 with my firewire 800 cable and then go into network preferences in my G4 it says firewire is "inactive". Why would it all of sudden disable the firewire bus? Is there a way to enable it again?

janieshin,
so I take it that your Lacie HDD is an external FireWire disk? You’ve noted that at some past time, it worked with an iMac — have you confirmed that it still works well when connected to other Macs with FireWire ports? Do you have a second FireWire device to test against your MacBook Pro, to ensure that the problem is not with the Lacie disk? Have you tried running your MacBook Pro’s Apple Hardware Test, to see if it can detect a problem with the MacBook Pro’s FireWire port?

BootCamp + Windows 7+ Firewire Doesn't works

Hello I'm trying to connect an external HardDrive using the firewire in Windows 7, using macos it works fine using both USB and Firewire, but in Windows 7 I can only use it with the USB, the firewire doesn't works, I plug it and it doesn't runs, it does nothing.
I'm using the first model of MacBookPro 13" with Windows7 Pro 64bits.

Apparently you did not read the Bootcamp Install and help manuals. There is no Windows Support Software download for Snow Leopard. The Windows Support Software (drivers) for Windows in Snow Leopard are located on your Snow Leopard Install Disk.

EA4500 guest network re-authentication doesn't work

I have successfully set up a guest network on my EA4500. Guest laptop associates with guest SSID just fine. Then via IE, it gets prompted for the guest password, which is entered and accepted just fine. At this point guest laptop is on the network. Hooray!
BUT... at some point the guest laptop will need to reauthenticate (I don't know what the timeout is, but maybe one or two days?). Anyway, it's at this point that IE presents the guest network login page. But now after typing in the password, "enter" or clicking on the button does nothing. It looks like the guest web page doesn't get loaded properly or completely, so the reauthentication can't complete, therefore can't get to the internet. So, while in this state, I've also tried Firefox and Chrome, and same thing, no action when trying to submit the guest password. Tried rebooting guest laptop, and still same problem. Only thing I've found so far that works is to reboot the router. So I'm guessing there's a problem with the guest/web server on the router?? It's a real pain to have to reboot the router every day or two, when I've had other Linksys routers run for months without having to touch them.
I was running CCC 2.1.38 when I first noticed the problem. Since then I've downgraded to Classic 2.0.37, but it seems I still have the same problem. Again, I can connect & authenticate just fine initially, but when reprompted after some period of time, it doesn't work.
I've tried contacting Cisco support, but it looks like I'm at 91 days since purchase and thus outside of my 90-day complimentary support, so they happily provided me with the premium support options just to have the honor of talking with them. Guess I shouldn't have spent so much time trying to figure this out myself.
I've searched the forums here,but so far haven't found any answers (I do see posts where the guest web page isn't presented at all, but in my case the page is presented, just can't do anything). Anyone seen this or have any ideas?

jaymay -- I agree there's no harm in a reset; just the time to reconfigure, reenter DHCP reservations, etc. I'll keep this as an option as I troubleshoot, but see next...
TEXXSHARKK -- good news/bad news ... I ended up not yet resetting. Instead, since I had this problem first with CCC firmware 2.1.38 (Build 138828 - the automatically pushed update), I reverted back to Classic 2.0.37. Still same problem with guest re-authentication. Only workaround was to reboot the router. That's when I first posted.
So, since I had the problem with both CCC and Classic firmware, I ended up going back to CCC. To do that, I needed to manually update, which is 2.1.38 (Build 138880 for web manual download only). SInce (re)updating the firmware, I haven't had a repeat of the original problem. It's been about a week now, and the guest laptop has gone through a number of re-authentications, all without problem. For continued troubleshooting, I've been periodically connecting my iPad, BlackBerry, etc, to the guest network, and they get through the authentication page just fine as well. So that's the good news in that the problem "seems" to have gone away.
The bad news is that it's still unexplained:
- There's what I assume is a just a minor build difference between the two CCC firmwares, so it seems unlikely that would make a difference?
- Could be just the fact of reburning the firmware corrected whatever the problem was -- a la doing a reset, even though I didn't reconfigure, just firmware (re)update
- Could be the problem is still there biding its time, waiting for me to think it's forever gone, only to pounce again
If the problem does reappear, I'll update here.

Firewire doesn't work.

Hi,
My macbook pro firewire doesn't not work anymore.
I try all the way (reset the SMC and RAM also) but it stil can not work.
My HDD is Lacie, it's worked with iMac and used to worked with MP.

Upload webpage through Filezilla doesn't work

Hi
I've created a page with Muse, I tried to upload it through ftp to an external hosting, but it doesn't work. Apparently I make eveyrthing correct but when I go to my website the page won't show. Hosting name is netsons.
Can anybody help?
Thank you

Are you using the built in FTP or a third party FTP client? Is that a 404 error when you access the page at the remote site? Make sure you do not have Export Page option disabled for the affected page (look for the option in the page's context menu in Plan/Design mode).
If that is not the case, please share the page URL.
Thanks,
Vinayak

So I just burned a Data DVD (files like music and mac applications) on Windows, using Nero Express, but then I mount it on my Powermac G5 PPC and it doesn't work, my mac doesn't recognize it, what's the problem ?

Did you close the disc, or leave it open for further burning sessions?

Networks connects, but doesn't work

I work at a hospital and one of our patients has a macbook. We setup a wireless account for him and he connects fine (Sees cisco wap/gets correct ip address), but he can't get to anything. His email client hangs and Safari never connects to the web. I tried pinging, but even that doesn't work. Turning off the enthernet port didn't help. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

OWA through webvpn doesn't work

Hi,
I configured WebVPN on a 1812 through SDM. Everything works fine so far. Now I wanted to allow Outlook Web Access to my users. When I use the http in the url-list users can login, if I use https the connection hangs. Ok, I tried http, logged in and everything gets displayed. I can open emails and contacts so far. But when I want to open a subfolder WebVPN kicks me out!
This is my config:
webvpn gateway gateway_1
ip address X.X.X.X port 443
http-redirect port 80
ssl trustpoint TP-self-signed-3752992620
inservice
webvpn context portal
title-color #669999
secondary-color white
text-color black
ssl authenticate verify all
url-list "Intranet"
heading "Intranet"
url-text "Outlook Web Access" url-value "http://owa.host.com/exchange"
policy group policy_1
url-list "Intranet"
default-group-policy policy_1
aaa authentication list sdm_vpn_xauth_ml_1
gateway gateway_1
inservice
end
When logging in only the fields "user" and "password" gets displayed, but not "domain". I think because it lacks of SSL.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
MB
P.S.: IOS is 12.4.11T (advanced ip services)

Hmmm ... I tested everything today with IE and Firefox again without any errors. Perhaps this was a problem with OWA ..

Network connection sometines doesn't work (WPA or WEP)

Hi,
My Macbook is sometimes refusing to connect to my wireless network. When the problem occurs, my network is available and listed among all the other available networks. According to tools such as iStumbler, network strength is very good.
Basically, today I start my Macbook and I log in and usually it connects automatically to my default network. Tomorrow it doesn't connect anymore without even coming near to the network settings or even moving the location of my Macbook.
When the problem occurs, I don't have network problems on my iMac (which has identical network settings as my Macbook) or my second laptop (a Windows PC). Tools such as iStumbler show that my network is available and network strength is very good.
When manually forcing it to join the network (I simply select it in the list of all other networks that it detects) I get an error saying that it is unable to connect to the network. Clicking 'Try again' has no affect.
I narrowed the problem down to the security settings. When I'm having this problem and I turn off security on my wireless router (and I also turn it off on the Macbook), my Macbook connects instantly. When I turn security on again (WPA with a passphrase) I am unable to connect. Switching to WEP does not work. (no, it's not me making a typo in the passphrase)
After fiddling with it for a while (usually constantly disabling and enabling my wireless adapter again and again), my Macbook eventually joins the network again.
Yesterday it took me about 40 minutes, a point at which I was about ready to throw it down the stairs.
So I'm using a Philips wireless router and WPA security with a passphrase.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Kind regards,
Jan

I now discovered that the security settings have no effect on the problem. I don't use any form of security for a while now and everything worked fine for a while. Then the problem occured again, for 2 days.

Dish Network rf remote doesn't work

After sucessfully completing the NSZ-GS7 installation, my Dish Network ir remote works ok, but the rf remote doesn't. What do I look for to troubleshoot?

Hello Casey,
Welcome to the Sony Community.
We would require additional details:
1. Are you trying to control the NSZGS7 unit using the Dish Network Remote?
2. What happens when you try using the RF Remote? Is there any error message or indicator?
3. The Remote Control of the NSZGS7 uses Bluetooth technology; check with Dish Network support whether this could be a hindrance to the operation of the RF Remote.
Thank you for your post.

I can connect to wireless network, but it doesn't work

I am able to connect to my wireless network from my iPad and iPhone, but it's not working.

If you are able to connect to your wireless network as you state.....then can you provide more details about what is not working?

2 wireless networks, suddenly one doesn't work!

I have an odd problem that cropped up yesterday (Tues).
I have a wireless network at home using a D-Link 624, an iMac G5, and a Powerbook G4 (aluminum). Works great!!!!
At school/work (I'm a teacher), we have a wireless network in my classroom, where I can just change my "location" on the Powerbook and it automatically connects to the school network. I've been doing this since August 2005. I use DHCP at both locations to assign an IP address.
Here's the problem: Monday at school, no problem with network. Monday night, I switched locations to "HOME". No problem. TUES morning at school, I switched back to "SCHOOL" location, and got "not connected" messages. When I looked at the TCP/IP settings, it showed me an IP address of 169.254.205.150, INSTEAD OF the 10.159.177.xx I should have had. The subnet was also wrong, and the router didn't show up at all.
I pulled out one of the laptops assigned to my classroom and checked/compared the setup, and saw where mine was coming up wrong (see above), but even choosing DHCP MANUAL and inputting proper settings didn't help.
I had the school technician examine my laptop configuration, and he couldn't figure it out. It's obviously NOT the router at school because the other laptops are connecting just fine, only MY personal laptop suddenly won't. The tech suggested maybe there's a problem with the built-in Airport card, but when I went home and changed the setting to "HOME" it worked perfectly.
Today (Weds) back at school, same problem... I've had to resort to using an Ethernet setting and cable (so much for roaming with my PB!)
What else can I possibly check that will solve this problem??? The only thing I can think of, I MAY have had a software update (regarding Java?) Monday evening at home.... other than that, I'm STUMPED!!!!!
Please HELP!! There's a reason I need WIRELESS, I don't have enough ports at my desk to support my use of Ethernet on the laptop.

IPad will not send mail, but iPhone works. Outgoing servers are set up the same. I tried shutting off iPhone to not confuse the wireless network. Still doesn't work.

Can't send mail from iPad but IPhone is sending. Outgoing servers are set up exactly the same. I closed both safari and mail on the iPhone to try and avoid conflicts with iPad. I also shut down and restarted iPad. Still won't send.

Usually it's because you are not making internet connection via wifi.
Look at iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
iPad: Issues connecting to Wi-Fi networks http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3304
Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
