One mac of 3 just won't connect to the other macs

Don't know where else to post this.  I have 2 mac minis and a macbook pro.  I just cannot connect via ethernet to one of the minis from the MBP.  I used to be able to, and now I can't. I just did a fresh complete Mavericks os install. I can mount the other mini fine, but the other no. It just says "connection failed", and no combination of username or pw will work.
File sharing is on for all 3 macs, the home and an external drive are listed as "shareable", read/write to all, it's crazy. I have a very basic setup.
I just can not for the life of me figure out why. I can walk over to the other mini and connect to it and the external drive just fine, but not from the MBP.
I've tried every trick in my box - nothing is working.
Any ideas on even where to start troubleshooting this?

I have the same problem and have been on the phone with apple support for hours trying to get this resolved. After trying everything I was told thet it was a microsoft problem and that I should them. They laughed when I spoke with them. I am returning my IPOD as I don't believe you can have more than one IPOD can be used on a single computer (we have two user id's). I have finally given up and will try the Dell DJ.

    Hello,
    I am able to connect my wireless keyboard to only one mac ...not able to connect to my other mac at work after disconnecting the first one ...any suggestions please
    thanks,

    Hello:
    You will need to delete the keyboard from the other Mac.  Simply disconnecting it leaves it still paired with the first Mac.

  • My one-month old MacBook Pro won't connect to the internet?

    I called the service provider, it is neither our modem nor our internet. The PCs in the house work fine, but a couple housemates and myself own Macbooks, and although they find the network, they do not connect. I've heard it's just some problem that randomly occurs for Macbook users and has no actual solution other than luck. I was wondering if this is a false rumour, and how to go about fixing it? I've reset the modem, router, and computer multiple times to no avail.  If this is true, I will be the first one in line to sell my Macbook Pro back.

    Hello Rattisate,
    Sorry to hear you are not able to connect to Wi-Fi on your MacBook Pro.  I would be concerned about this too.  You can find information on how to troubleshoot this in the following article:
    Troubleshooting Wi-Fi issues in OS X Lion and Mac OS X v10.6
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4628
    Follow the steps in the section labeled, "Symptom: My Mac does not connect to the Internet."
    Thank you for posting in the Apple Support Communities.
    Best,

  • Can't see the other Mac on the network

    I have a iMac G5 and a MacBook Pro connected via wirelss at home. Sometimes I can't see the other Mac in the Network folder, however I can connect to the other Mac (even I can't see them in the network folder) by afp the IP address via Safari... I have enabled the "personal file sharing" option in both of the machine.
    Help please.

    Sam,
    I've had the same problems numerous times myself: the other Macs don't show in the network folder. Why? I'm not too sure myself, I've been given several possible explanations by the geniouses in San Francisco. However, the best trick to connect is via the Finder 'Go to' menu. The very last item should say something like "Connect to server..." -which is the same as the 'Command-K' combination of keys. That'll bring up a list of the last few servers on the network, and al you have to do is choose the one you want, and voilà!

    Just updated to iOS 7. One of my wifi networks won't connect. How do I fix this?

    I imagine the others work though?
    try unplugging the router for a few minutes (restarting it).
    While waiting for it to restart, turn Wi-Fi off/on on your iPhone, then reset network settings in Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings

  • I have just bought a Humax PVR and Humax W-Lan dongle to connect to my Airport Extreme. I have put the mac address into the AE. The installation screen is picking up my network name no problem but it won't connect to the internet. Can anyone help please?

    I have just bought a Humax 7500T PVR and a Humax W-Lan dongle to connect to my Airport Extreme.
    I have put the mac address into the AE. The installation screen on my TV is picking up the network name but once appied it won't connect to the internet.
    I've a few other things connected to the AE such as computers, ipad, itouch, etc, and have never had a problem connecting these once I've entered the mac address into the AE. Can anyone help me with this please?

    have you made sure that the network setting in the system preferences is set up to use dhcp? if not i would try changing it so that it shows that it is getting its address by dhcp

  • We use an Airport Extreme in my office, which works fine for me. Occasionally we need to have more than one computer running on it, but for some reason it won't connect to the internet. It says we have internet, but won't connect to wifi. What's going on?

    I use my computer everyday in our office and have no issue connecting to the internet/wifi, but when my boss comes in and tries to connect it doesn't work. It tells her she has internet, but won't connect to the wifi. We've tried a few different tactics(the basic ones I've seen on here), but nothing seems to be working for us. My computer automatically connects to our wifi.
    Just recently the Airport Extreme has started with the blinking amber colored light on the front, which I believe means something is wrong? Can anyone help us figure out what's going on and why we can't get my boss' computer to connect as it should?
    Thank you!

    Here's an update:
    Now the light is not blinking. It's a solid, consistant green. I don't know if it helps to narrow it down or anything, but I just figured I'd mention it.

I Did all the regular modem diagnostics but that computer won't connect and it's a hard wire connection, not wireless (too far from the wireless signal). Is anyone else having this problem?

  • Mini Mac suddenly won't connect to the net.

    Hello,
    Didn't realise you guys existed until I was pointed in you direction so I'm hoping you might be able to help.
    I started this thread http://forums.seloc.org/viewthread.php?tid=71654 on another forum I use. It has all the details of my problem. If there is anything I should be doing it would be great If you could point me in the right direction.
    Thanks in advance
    Karl

    Sorry for that, I've cut and pasted the different parts that I wrote.....
    I've been running a mini mac for nearly a year now and all's been well up until last friday. I use Tiscali's cheapo broadband package and that has been problem free until the mac suddenly decided that it can't connect last Friday.
    It's set up so that it automatically tells you when the adsl modem is connected. You can then check the modem and it is running fine. If I then try and open an internet page it's saying that the internet isn't conected. If I open internet connect and click for it to connect then it just say that it is idle and won't do anything different. When you look at the connection log it says that a pipe is broken?? and that's why it won't connect.
    If I look at the system information then it says that ethernet (en1) is enabeld but the cable isn't connected. Tried everything I can think of but it hasn't helped. Contacted apple but they want £35 to try and talk me through the problem. Tried Tiscali but all there suggestions have made no difference.
    I'm now using a six year old PC that's taken the best part of a week to get me online, I'm guessing the connection is OK as it's working on this PC but why isn't it working on the mac? Any advice will be genuinely appreciated
    Tried unplugging/ re attaching all the cables but it made no difference. I'm using the same modem and cables at the moment with this dodgy old PC so I'm guessing there isn't anything wrong with them.
    I do the repair permissions thing so but hasn't seemed to help.
    It's a Mini Mac running OS 10.3.9 ( I think ) I use Tiscali via a phone filter and then into a sagem modem (whatever they give you). The modem is connected to the mac via a usb cable.
    I've tried a different cable, and the modem is working Ok with this PC. So It's not Tiscali's end.
    I've jut spent the last hour messing around with the mac but it's making no difference. The Mac knows that the USB modem is connected but it won't connect to the net. I just tried to use tiscali's DNS number but I can't seem to sort it, I even tried pinging that number but nothing is coming back. It was set up to use ethernet adaptor (en1) and then you just clicked on a little icon in the top bar and it would connect to the net.
    Is there any way to wipe all the settings and try to get it going from scratch. Would it work if I bought a router and plugged it straight into the mac without a modem? There is a firewire connection on the back.
    If I look back it says something about a broken pipe. On the network set up screen it says that the cable isn't connected to (en1), so I'm guessing that may be why it not getting in contact with the net?
    I've now had suggestions to ditch the modem and buy a router?? Is there anything I should looking for in particular?
    Thanks again.

  • I just installed LV2011 and one dll from my vi won't load with the error "application configuration is incorrect"

    I just installed LV2011 and one dll from my vi won't load with the error "application configuration is incorrect", which is Windows lingo for "missing package dependencies".  All the computers at my company with 2010 loaded seem to do OK.  When I do a Dependencies Walk I get missing Visual C debug dll's missing plus IEshims and wer which both have a whole tree of dependencies missing on my machine.  The Windows install is the same "Windows XP version 2002 Service Pack 3" on my PC and the working PC's. So I'm thinking I have to uninstall 2011 and go back to 2010.  Is this correct?  Those VC debug dll's were installed on the machines with 2010 in them but were not installed in mine.
    I've heard the advice to recompile the dll with debug turned off but I don't have access to the source code.
    Thanks in advance.

    Thanks for the reply.  This at least tells me that going back to LV2010 is not likely to solve the problem.  The missing dll's are:
    MFC90D.dll
    MSVCR90D.dll
    IESHMS.dll
    WER.dll
    And, once again, IESHMS and WER have other dependencies.  So perhaps i need to install the Visual C++ development environment.
    IESHIMS.dll is an Internet Explorer DLL that gets usually delay loaded by shdocvw.dll. As delay load it can not cause DLL load errors but only runtime errors. Maybe your DLL has it as direct dependency but that is unlikely since it does not have a documented interface.
    WER.dll is Windows error reporting for Vista/Win7.
    MFC90D.dll is the Microsoft Foundation classes and MSVCR90D.dll is the MS C runtime library, both as debug variant.
    So all the DLLs you mention are actually MS DLLs! You haven't identified the DLL that you try to access in LabVIEW that causes these error messages. IESHIMS and WER are usually delay loaded by any component that needs it and should not likely be used by non MS code.
    What is the DLL you try to load into LabVIEW and by whom? Get the provider of that DLL to provide you a non Debug build of the DLL. Installing Visual C on all the machines just to make the DLL load is not a solution, besides that it is likely not legal since I doubt you have that many licenses.

  • My Mac won't connect to the wireless internet

    My MacBook won't connect to the internet. Yet my phone and iPad will. I have tried turing the laptop on and off. Shutting the airport on and off and turning the Bluetooth on and off. And it still won't connect.

    Thanks for that.  Would this affect App store and iTunes though? Neither of them are working.

  • HT4628 My Mac Air OSX10.8.5 won't connect to the internet as it says it has a self assigned IP address and thus cannot connect to the internet. I can only connect to a network by manually typing in the configuration specs. Please help.

    My mac air OSX10.8.5 won't connect to the internet. It says it has a 'self assigned IP address and therefore cannot connect to the internet'. Network diagnostics is unable to the solve the problem. It happened suddenly for no reason and now I cannot connect except by typing in the configuration settings manually. Please help me!

    Use the Airport Utility or log into your wireless device via http and ensure the DHCP/NAT service is enabled.  If accessing via HTTP, you will need to manually set an ip within your local subnet (eg: 192.168.0.x).
