Where can I find the MAC address

Dear all,
Do anybody know in which scripts or files I could find out the MAC address (not type command line e.g ifconfig -a), thx a log!!
Regards,
Vincent

Hi Vincent,
<pre>
OK, Sparc systems gets its MAC address from NVRAM
and Intel (x86) systems gets its MAC address from
the ethernet card that they use. Since you had posted
this question on Solaris on Intel I presumed it to be
Intel.
Following is an unsupported and untested
method(atleast from my end). All the best.
You may try to change the MAC address using the
ifconfig command.
(ifconfig elxl0 ether x:x:x:x:x:x)
In this file, add the entry at bottom.
Do this on test system.
/etc/rcS.d/S30rootusr.sh (<= SunOS 5.7)
/etc/rcS.d/S30network.sh (>= SunOS 5.8)
example:
ifconfig <interface> ether 8:0:20:83:fe:75
If this does'nt solves your purpose, then please provide
the reason why do you want to change the MAC address,
perhaps one may suggest some good alternate method.
Thanks

  • Where can I find the Mac address on somewhere other than my iPod touch? Like the box?

    Where can I find the Mac Address for my iPod Touch? Is it on the box somewhere? I lost my iPod a while ago, but I was told that if I had the Mac Adress, I would be able to retrace it. Help!

    You were told incorrectly.  Knowing the MAC address will not help you track your iPod.  The only way to track your iPod (and then only under limited specific conditions) is to have turned on Find My iPhone on the iPod before it was lost.

  • Where can I find the MAC Address of a Airport Extreme ?

    Where can I find the MAC Address of a Airport Extreme ?
    I need this to extend the wi fi range in my home. I'm using a Motorola Cable modem and to extend with Airport Extreme, I need to set up inside Motorola the MAC Address of the Airport Extreme.
    Message was edited by: JPA3003

    There are actually 3 MAC Addresses on an AirPort Extreme......1 for Ethernet, 1 for 2.4 GHz wireless and 1 for 5 GHz wireless.
    You can normally see them by using AirPort Utility. The rub here is that the AirPort needs to be setup and working to be accessed by AirPort Utility.
    The other approach is to look on the bottom of the AirPort. The newer AirPorts usually have this information in very small print, so a magnifying glass will probably be required. Other versions embed the numbers in the foam mat.
    Note.....Apple uses proprietary settings for the their wireless "extend" feature.....designed to only allow other Apple devices to connect. So, it is extremely unlikely that the AirPort would be compatible with a 3rd party router if you are trying to use the AirPort to wirelessly extend the network.
    Let us know if you are able to do this.

  • Where can I find the MAC address on ATV3?

    My internet provider is requesting the MAC address of from the Apple TV 3 I'm trying to hook up.   It is not plainly listed anywhere.  Is there another name for this address?  Where can I find it?
    Thanks,
           Pterodroma

    There will be two MAC addresses.
    One for wi-fi and one for ethernet.
    It should be listed under Settings>General>About, depending on which you are using.
    If you have ethernet cable plugged in wifi is disabled so it should be the ethernet address.  If ethernet unplugged it should give the wifi Mac address.
    Apple used to put the MAC address on teh product box, but for some daft reason had not done so with either the latest iPad or AppleTV3.

  • Where do I find the MAC address on my new Airport Express?

    Where do I find the MAC address on my new Airport Express?  There's no label like there was on my Time Capsule (now dead).  I need to supply it to my ISP in order to get hooked up.  Thanks.

    If you use AirPort Utility 5.6, you will find the MAC addresses under Manual Setup>AirPort>Summary.
    There should be three MAC IDs: one for each of the wireless channels and one for Ethernet.

  • Where do i find the MAC address on my Airport Extreme?

    Where do i find the MAC address on my Airport Extreme?

    Your AirPort Extreme has two MAC addresses, one for Wi-Fi, which is called the AirPort ID and another for the wired connection, called the Ethernet ID
    Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
    Click Manual Setup
    (Here, I am assuming that you are using AirPort Utility 5.6 for Mac OS X Lion )
    The AirPort and Ethernet IDs are on the summary page

  • How can i find the mac address of a brand new iphone 5 since i can't get to the settings screen untill it's signed onto the web

    I have a brand new iphone. my home wifi router has a mac filter. I can't use my phone until the wifi is set up but i cant set up my phone until it connects to the internet. is there a way to find the mac addreess without getting to the settings menu?

    It's not on the box.
    Try turning off Mac filtering temporarily on your router, finish the setup, then turn it back on. Or use another WiFi hotspot, such as an Apple store or a carrier's store. Or McDonalds. Or Starbucks.

  • Where can I find the DHCP address of my AirPort?

    I am trying to install wirelessly a Foscam camera. Apparently I need the DHCP address of my AirPort Extreme, but I'm not sure where or how to find it. Is it the same as the IpV4address? Sorry, but I'm lost on this. Thanks.
    Cayleen

    Just open the airport utility in the Mac or ipad or whatever you use.
    Click on the Extreme and it will open a summary page.. this is the short summary.
    You can also hold down the option key and double click the icon for the full summary.
    Read carefully what is in the summary.. IP address is WAN..
    LAN IP address is the IP of the Airport.. as mine is bridged they are both the same.. In yours it is the LAN side you are after.. and yes it is the IPv4 address.

  • HT201269 where do i find the mac address of my phone

    where can &amp; how do i find mac address on my iphone 5, and how do i know if my iphone is working with itunes and is my icloud working correct, &amp; last is it possible for me to update on the latest version of itunes without any computer just my iphone with my option as update for mac and pc as choice? yes i dont have a pc at home nor any acct, i just have my plain old iphone as my all ,,,
    &amp; how do i know if my phone is linked to another phone or it has ann internal app that is using to spy on every txt and calls i do &amp; all such things?

    Settings>General>About.
    I don't understand what you mean by "how do i know if my iphone is working with itunes". Plug it in. Does iTunes recognize the phone? Can you sync stuff to it? If so, it is "working with iTunes". As for "is my icloud working correct" That's also a little unclear... what do you think is "not working"?
    You can update iOS over the air using WiFi. It does not require a computer at all.
    If your phone is not jailbroken, then there is no "app that is spying on you.

  • Where to find the MAC address?

    I just purchased the latest iPod Touch. I need to know the MAC address to register with my WI-FI. Where do I look for it?

    Hello LCMan,
    On your iPod Touch, head to *Settings -> General -> About*. Then look for the *Wi-Fi Address* field and there is where you will find the MAC address.

    Thanks

    This is the mailing address...
    Apple Store

    If you mean the email address, there is none.  Apple doesn't provide a support email address.

  • On installation of Firefox 4 beta, it tells me that it won't run on my Mac. When I go to system requirements, it takes me to a page for Firefox3.6 requirements. Where can I find the requirements for the beta?

    The link to system requirements for Firefox 4 beta takes you to a page that gives you the requirements for Firefox 3.6 instead. I assume that the requirements for the beta are different as I can't seem to install the beta on my Macs. Where can I find the beta system requirements?

    I never expected Mozilla to neglect the users of Apple's PowerPC (PPC) computers, while still supporting much older operating environments such as Windows XP. So, I should just throw away a $6,000 system, which is still fast and functional, and contribute masses of heavy metals to land-fills because…?
    I'm hurt and confused after supporting Firefox for many years — installing and using it not only on my own computers but on most of my customers' computers. Now I have to tell my customers with PPC Macs they can't have a secure cross-platform browsing experience from Mozilla. They'll have to learn to use some other browser, or buy a new computer.
    If one doesn't buy a new computer every year, one doesn't deserve Firefox 4. This is sort of sounding more like a Microsoft™© doctrine. (But wait, I can still have Firefox 4 on a ''SERIOUSLY CRAPPY WINDBLOWS XP pile of rubbish?!'') Please open your eyes Mozilla. This just doesn't make sense.

  • When I click "about this mac" to check on my storage, I get a number of different sections music, movies, etc. but also I get a section called backups, where can I find the files in this section?

    When I click "about this mac" to check on my storage, I get a number of different sections music, movies, etc. but also I get a section called backups, where can I find the files in this section?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    All the storage in "Backups" is taken up by local snapshots, which are made automatically in all MacBooks, MacBooks Pro and MacBooks Air with OS X Lion or newer and Time Machine turned on.
    See > http://pondini.org/TM/30.html I recommend you to leave them there, because they will be removed automatically. However, if you want, you can disable or remove them manually if you want, even if there's no reason to do this. Have a look at the link above for more information

  • How do I install OS 10.7 NOT 10.7.5 on a mac running Snow Leopard 6.8  i.e. where can I find the original install app for Lion OS 10.7.0?

    I'm running 10.6.8 Snow Leopard fine on my MacPro1,1, Dual-Core Intel Xeon, 2.66 GHz  Mac, but I need to install Lion 10.7.0 to run a program I need.How do I install OS 10.7 NOT 10.7.5, because I get this message when I try to install 10.7.5, which I've downloaded:"This update requires Mac OS X version 10.7." on a mac running Snow Leopard 10.6.8, So i need to install the original 10.7.0 over the 10.6.8  i.e. where can I find the original install app for Lion OS 10.7.0? The original Lion 10.7. is not avaialable for purchase from the App store or anywhere,  even C-Net . Where can I find it to purchase?
    Also it seems I cannot install Mountain Lion over 10.6.8 as advertised. When I go to purchase I get this message: "We could not complete your purchase. OS X Mountain Lion is not compatible with this computer."   I think my computer can handle it (specs above) Are there any workarounds to this?

    If you're getting a "This update requires Mac OS X version 10.7" message, than you have the updater and not the full installer. Go to your Purchases section of the Mac App Store and you should see the full version there. But it may be 10.7.5, though in my system is shows as being from 2011 which would appear to be the original version.
    As to Mountain Lion, that's supported only on the Early 2008 Mac Pro or newer.
