Not able to use internet sharing on my iMac 8.1 using Mac OS X 10.6.8

Im not able to use internet sharing on my iMac 8.1 using Mac OS X 10.6.8, I tried internet sharing with OS Lion and it works fine. Has anybody else experience this problem and  what was the solutions.

If your OS is OS X 10.4.11 then you should be able to install iTunes 8.1 which according to the iTunes page requires 10.4.10 or later (which is a lower version than yours). It also requires QuickTime 7.5.5 so check your version of QuickTime. Version 10.4 is Tiger by the way. Leopard is 10.5 and Panther was 10.3.
Make sure that your OS is at the version you think it is. Connect your MacBook to the internet and from your desktop go to the Apple symbol on the Finder bar at the top of your screen. Choose "About This Mac" and check your OS version. Also from the same menu choose Software Update and see if you are offered any updates for your computer. If it does offer an OS X update, install it and anything else in the list then run software update again to see if any more components are offered for the new version.

    Powerline adapters use your home powerlines (mains a/c) to connect your devices via ethernet to your modem, they're easy to set up and the they TOTALLY fixed my ATV problem, the problem seems to be with the wireless. I've been trawling through apple discussions, and did found a workaround to my problem https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4222883?start=0&tstart=0
    but its just a workaround :/

  • Using internet sharing in other countries

    Hello,
    I've bought a HTC 8X unlocked cellphone from Verizon and moved to Brazil since them.
    How can I use internet sharing here? The cellphone says it's not allowed, although my internet plan here does allow me to do that.
    It seems besides being an unlocked phone, Verizon is still locking the internet sharing option.
    Any help is really appreciated,
    Cheers,
    André

    The answer is not really, but sort of.
    If you have a US mailing address, a credit card that bills to that address, and a US Social Security Number, you can purchase and activate an iPhone in the US. The problem is that the phone is locked to AT&T as the mobile provider, so when you go to those countries, you will be roaming, which is expensive for calls and outlandishly expensive for data. You will not be able to inset a SIM card from a local mobile provider; it will not work. Also, AT&T may cancel you for roaming too much.
    A fair number of people outside the US (and inside as well) appear to have purchased iPhones and hacked them so that they can be used as an iPod and WiFi device but not as a phone. I think those in other countries are hoping that someday they will be able to use the phone features in their country, though it is not certain that will ever be the case.

  • Can I use internet sharing to give internet to my Apple TV through my Macbook and use Airplay on the same computer at the same time?

    So I am using internet sharing from my Macbook to my Apple TV. The router providing internet to my Macbook has an ip address that looks like 192.168.0.x. Since the internet sharing feature assigns an ip address that looks like 192.168.2.x to my Apple TV, the Macbook is unable to see the Apple TV ("different" networks). Is there a way around this so I can share internet and still be able to use Airplay between the two?
    BTW I am using a Macbook Pro Retina 15'' (late 2013) on Mavericks 10.9.1 and Apple TV 3.
    Thanks.

    Why are you tyring to spilt your connection though the MBP?  Why don't you just connect them both to the router as they are meant to be setup?

  • How can I use Internet Sharing with Firewall on ?

    Hi,
    My PowerMac G5 is connected to the internet via Ethernet. I share the connection to a Powerboog via Airport using internet sharing. Everything is working fine except when I turn the Firewall on. After reading http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107653 I tried opening port 443 but it still does'nt work. I'd like to be able to use internet sharing with the firewall on. Anyone can help me ? Thanks!

    Hmmm, how curious... I never had to do that in 10.4.7 or 10.4.8... the only ones I ever tried Internet Sharing with.
    I'm wondering if turning the Firewall on after the Internet sharing is what's doing it? Just for kicks you might try turning off Internet Sharing, then Firewall on, then turn on Internet Sharing.
    If that doesn't work, then I'd personally try trashing...
    /Library/Preferences/com.apple.sharing.firewall.plist
    Then reboot and try the Firewall again.

  • How to use internet sharing and airtunes?

    Question? how to use internet sharing and airtunes?
    OK I have following working separate situations.
    1. I can share my internet connection : is a router to ethernet cable into mac. Then over airport built in to my iMac ....... to other wireless computers, iphone etc...works fine.
    2. the I have a air port express that is only used for air tunes. I guess i had create a separate network for that. can select that in iTunes. Works.
    problem is can not use both at the same time!
    OK so Now I would like to combine the two; share the ethernet over airport on mac and send music to air port express....
    the main reason for this is cause I now have an iPhone and want to use the internet and the remote app to control iTunes from all over the house.
    I have not the first idea where to start.
    Any hints or tips will be greatly appreciated.

    The airport express is a router. And, only one router can be used to obtain an IP address. So in your airport express configuration set it so it does not obtain an IP address.

  • Using Internet Sharing on Macbook Pro 17" (intel) with the iPhone

    Hi,
    i like to use Internet Sharing on my Macbook Pro 17" (intel) with OS X Leopard.
    Enabling Internet Sharing on Leopard works just fine. I share my Ethernet Connection with the Airport.
    I can connect to the Airport sharing the connection with multiple devices.
    It does however not work with the iPhone.
    The phone can see the network. It even connects and gets its lease (IP Adress / etc)...
    I did open a terminal and did ping the iphone. Doing that i disconnected the iphone from the wifi network and connected again. I found out that immediately after connecting the connection is working (ping reply) for about 2 or 3 seconds and then there is no reply... Sometimes it is working... but 99% of the connections dont work... (working for 2 seconds and then no reply)
    This is only with the Internet Sharing on the Macbook Pro (intel) in combination with the iPhone. I did not have any other wifi problems with the iPhone or with Internet Sharing on my Macbook Pro.

    Hi,
    thank you for your posts!
    Nathan C: Did you notice this issue occurring when you were using Mac OS X 10.4?
    Yes! I did not get it to work with Tiger also.
    mucmac: just solved the issue by setting the channel for airport under Airport Options in sys prefs>sharing>internet sharing from Automatic to a specific channel
    lazarus: Doesn't work for me.
    and not for me
    Richard Cartledge: Maybe it is a Leopard issue?
    I think its a Macbook Pro / iPhone issue. Because other clients work well also the iPhone works on a Powerbook using Internet-Sharing.
    Aaron@SODE: No luck for me! Tried every Channel and every MacBook Pro and MacBook in the company. The only Internet Sharing working is a PowerBook G4 running Leopard 10.5.1. iPhone works with the Powerbook without any problem.
    The same applies to me! I really think it is a problem with the iPhone / Macbook Pro.
    mucmac: what model of macbook Pro do you use? I cant get it to work on a Macbook Pro 17"

  • File Sharing between Windows PC and MacBook Pro using Internet Sharing

    I have a MacBook Pro and a Dell Latitude D820 running Windows XP SP2 and I want to connect both using any of these two options. I do not have a wireless router and I use Sprint 3G data card to access internet.
    1) I access the internet using a EVDO data card on my MAC and use Internet sharing to access the internet on my Dell laptop. How do I access the files on my PC from my MAC?
    2) I can have two EVDO data cards to access the MAC and PC independently. How can I setup file sharing between Windows laptop and MAC?

  • Not able to surf internet on win7 & vista OS through Proxy server Ironport S160

    Hi,
    Kindly can any one help me to know what is causing the issue here...
    I am not able to surf internet only from the machines running with the OS windows 7 and windows Vista..
    Regards,
    Lingaraj

    Lingaraj,
    Do you set the requirement for authentication in the identity used by the effected users/machines?
    Can you capture the access log from the S160 while browsing from the effected machine?
    To gather corresponding access logs:
    Make sure that the client used for testing is only running a single browsing session (tab) and ensure that any other applications that connect to the Internet are not running during this stage, e.g: Yahoo or MSN messenger.
    1. Log into the Command Line Interface (CLI) using SSH client, e.g.: Putty
    2. Type 'grep'
    3. Enter the number of the access log you wish to grep.
    4. Enter the regular expression to grep. This could be the IP address of the client that you use for testing.
    5. Do you want this search to be case insensitive? [Y]>  N
    6. Do you want to search for non-matching lines? [N]>  N
    7 .Do you want to tail the logs? [N]>  Y
    8. Do you want to paginate the output? [N]>  N
    9. Run a test now by going to a URL from the client machine.
    10. After capturing the appropriate logs, please press ctrl-c to stop displaying the current logs, copy the whole output and attach it to your next response.
    Regards,

  • I have connected an AirPlay enabled device to iphone4s. I started palying songs. I was able to access internet through 3G from iphone.After few seconds 3G symbol disappears and WiFi symbol appears. After that I'm not able to access internet. Why is it so?

    I have connected an AirPlay enabled device to iphone4s. I started palying songs. I was able to access internet through 3G from iphone.After few seconds 3G symbol disappears and WiFi symbol appears. After that I'm not able to access internet. Why is it so?

    SMS. Deggie, had them check that.  After a lengthy discussion with Senior Tech advisor, it appears it is iMessage/Face Time server (they are the same) issue, which will strong arm those into purchasing Data if they use iMessage over multiple devices, as the server registers the phone number associated with apple ID.  Not impressed. I put what I've learned here in a simliar thread
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/17416082#17416082
    and this is what I've put in apple.com/feedback
    "iMessage requires internet.  SMS does not.  iMessage/FaceTime auto logs phone numbers to the iMessage/Facetime  server (it's the same server as I've come to learn), this means that when iMessage/Face Time is turned on anyone sending a message through the server to me will only be sent as an iMessage- not when I'm not connected to internet, meaning I will not receive the message as an SMS by default, when I have another device using iMessage (such as MacBook) logged in.
    This feature is a problem for me, bottom line, in that iMessage strong arms the consumer (me) into having to buy a data plan that they either do not want, or do not need."

  • Slow access to local WebServer using Internet Sharing

    Hi,
    I have a MacPro with a WLAN. Sometimes I use internet sharing to access the internet with my iPhone. When using the "Browse the Web" feature of Goodreader to access some files on my MacPro it took very long until I get a directory listing on the iPad (only a dew files and folder). The other Way aroung (using the Goodreader intergrate WebServer an access this from my desktop is quite fast.
    The desktop has an IP Number 192.168.1.2 the iPad someting with 10.xx.xx.xx. Putting the into the same ip number schema (using a wieeless router) works fine in both directions.
    Any idea why the server is so slow?

    Hi,
    I don't know if any of you came up with an answer to this problem, because I have the exact same problem.
    I use version 5.0.01.0600 of the VPN Client. Windows Explorer hangs for a couple of seconds and then works fine for a couple of seconds and then hangs for a couple of seconds, etc. When logged on in Windows XP with a user with administrator rights this problem doesn't occur. Only when logged on with a Restricted user (Users Group) does this problem occur.
    Hoping you can help,
