Actiontec GT784WNV won't work with network storage

I had DSL connection problems which turned out to be outside the house and are now fixed. However in the process of fixing the line, Verizon sent me an Actiontec modem because they don't know how to deal with my Netgear DGND3300, which I have been using for a few years(!). I can not get the Actiontec to connect reliably with my network storage box (NAS), a Thecus n2100. The NAS appears in the list of lan devices but I can not get reliably to the files on it. Sometimes it works for a while then stops. Everything works fine with the Netgear and I configured the Actiontec the same (as much as possible, the Actiontec is a chintzy modem compared to the Netgear). BIG problem: there is NO user manual for the Actiontec that I could find!
I would prefer to use my Netgear modem but if there is a problem, Verizon wont provide support. Is anyone else using network storage with the Actiontec?

Check the Network menu on the front of the printer. Does it indicate it is connected to your router with a proper IP address (not 0.0.0.0 nor 169.254.x.x)? If not, in that same Network menu, Restore Network Defaults and check again.
Next, go to Start > Control Panel > Devices & Printers and delete all instances of the printer, then:
1. Make sure the printer is turned on and connected to your network. Verify that you can access the printer's internal web page by browsing to its IP address before continuing. Get its IP from a Network Test printed from the front panel of the printer.
2. Click >> Start >> Control panel >> Devices & Printers.
3. Click the Add a printer
4. Select Local printer
5. Select Create a new port and select Standard TCP/IP Port and click Next button.
6. Under Device type, select TCP/IP Device. Under Hostname or IP address, enter the printer's IP address. Click Next.
7. Select Hewlett-Packard from the list of manufacturers and select and select your printer model. Click Next.
If your printer model was not listed, then select Have Disk, browse the HP CD that came with your printer and select the first file that starts with hp and ends with inf. Click Open then OK. Select your printer model. Click Next.
8. If you are asked, use the currently installed driver.
9. It will ask for the Printer name -- enter a new name or use the existing one. This will be the name of the printer that you select from other applications.
10. You may be asked to share the printer. Choose NO.
11. The Print Test Page box appears. Go ahead and print it.
12. Click Finish.

I have an Airport Extreme Base Station and have recently upgraded to Mountain Lion. Now airport utility won't work with my base station so I bought a Time Capsule. For the life of me I can't make the substitution work and only see a blinking amber light.

I have an Airport Extreme Base Station and have recently upgraded to Mountain Lion. Now airport utility won't work with my base station so I bought a Time Capsule. For the life of me I can't make the substitution work and only see a blinking amber light. Can anyone who has made this change offer some advice?

The Utility transferred all of the AE's settings, so I still have to change the password, which leaves me with only 2 other questions, I think:
1) I assume it's just a matter of using the Utility, entering a stronger password and checking for it to be remembered in Keychain Access. But do I have to change the password for each individual unit-- the TC, the Extreme and both Expresses-- or will changing it just for the TC alone work for the entire network?
Resetting the password you will need to do for each device... the utility cannot even see those old units.
So you will have to do it for each one.. think it through.. because as you change passwords the others will lose connection.. so start from the express which are wireless extending .. change those first.. and go back up the chain.. as each one changes it will drop off the network.. until you reach extreme and change that. Then you might need to reboot the whole network to get everything talking again. If something goes wrong.. just pluck that one out of the mix and plug in ethernet.. reset and redo the setup. That is my preferred method anyway.. do everything in isolation one by one. By ethernet and then nothing goes wrong.
2) Who's the treasonous SOB who spilled the beans to you about the ICBM in my back yard?!?
N.Korean hackers.
[Edit] Whoops-- one more question: I want to partition the TC's disk, but Disk Utility doesn't see it. What do I need to do?
You cannot partition a network disk. And apple provided no tools for it in the TC itself. You can pull the disk out and partition it but that voids your warranty. (although done with care who is to know).
Look at Q3 here.

Mixing TM and data on the TC is worth planning carefully. They don't necessarily sit happily together.

Apple TV2 airplay audio (via Airport Express) works well with music, but won't work with any video.

I have an ATV2 and Airport Express connected to speakers all connected to the same network. It all works with music, but won't work with any video audio. In my ATV's settings I've selected my AirPort Express speakers. It works for music, why not everything else? Is there a fix or work around?

Netflix is first on that list...What I mean is, if there is a feature that allows for a wireless audio connection to the Apple TV, why wouldn't the developer allow it. To keep me from enjoying a more convient connection? I can have the same listening experience on a wired connection...

Hi . I am using a carrier that is not listed in my country which is Saudi Arabia and I'm using Mobily line it won't work with me ..what should I do ?

Contact that carrier's technical support people. It sounds like your issue is with that specific carrier, so only they will be able to help you make a particular device work on their network.
P.S. if you mean you bought a phone from Mobily and are trying to use it with another carrier, you cannot. A mobily phone will be locked to mobily, and according to Apple's list, they do not offer unlocking of their iPhones (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1937).

[SOLVED]Modem-manager won't start with Network manager

Hi,
I have a problem with getting modem-manager work under gnome. After first Arch install to this laptop, Network manager didn't show my 3G-modem, so I installed modem-manager and usb_modeswitch. Modem is Huawei E367 and it works well with wvdial. Only problem is to get it working with Network manager.
From output of dmesg I see that there is an error, when Network manager is trying to start modem-manager:
[ 3224.705193] do_trap: 322 callbacks suppressed

From /var/log/messages.log I found also something:
Apr 14 16:02:14 localhost NetworkManager[713]: <info> trying to start the modem manager...
Apr 14 16:02:14 localhost dbus[651]: [system] Activating service name='org.freedesktop.ModemManager' (using servicehelper)

Apr 14 16:02:14 localhost modem-manager: libhal_ctx_init() failed: (null)
Apr 14 16:02:14 localhost NetworkManager[713]: <info> the modem manager disappeared
If I try to run modem-manager manually with debug:
$ sudo modem-manager --debug
** ERROR **: libhal_ctx_init() failed: (null)
Make sure the hal daemon is running?
So it seems to be because of hal isn't running, if I try to start hal daemon it fails:
$ sudo /etc/rc.d/hal start
:: Starting Hardware Abstraction Layer [FAIL]
I also tried to start hal at boot by putting it to DAEMONS in rc.conf. but didn't start either.
The laptop is Asus X61SL with x86_64 version of ArchLinux.
Kernel: 3.3.1-1-ARCH
Would be cool if anyone can solve this.

It didn't help. Network manager doesn't show anything related 3G.
I don't think it's usb_modeswitch since 3G stick works great with wvdial on same system. Could it be a bug on modem-manager?
I start only the Network manager on boot, but while Network manager tries to start modem-manager, it throws error continuously in dmesg. Error is the same as in first post.

Older model Airport Express won't work with Mountain Lion Airport Utility

just upgraded to Mountain Lion and noticed that of my network of three airport expresses connected to various stereo speaker systems throughout the house, one of the older models won't work with the supplied version of Airport Utility (v 6.1). Here is the message it gives in the utility when I attempt to select this particular Airport Express:
"This version of AirPort Utility doesn't support this base station. Use AirPort Utility 5.6 to configure or manage this base station. AirPort Utility 5.6 is available at AirPort Service and Support."
Well, I go to download v 5.6 and none of the versions available will install on Mountain Lion! (even the version for Lion) Catch 22.
Any resolution to this (other than having to go out and buy a newer version Airport Express)?
Michael

IMessage won't work with 1 contact. (iOS7)

iPhone 4s with iOS7
iMessage won't work with only 1 specific contact.
Prior to updating i was able to iMessage with the contact in question without issue.
Both of us updated to iOS7 yesterday, since then messages between us are Text Messages only. We screwed around with everything. We discovered if i send to his email address (checkmarked with iMessage) it works. ALSO...after searching and trying different things, he can send me iMessages from his number, but when i respond it switches SMSs . FaceTime also works.
It works with all my other contacts without issues.
We both tried the following.
- deleting eahcother as contacts,
- resets (many)
- turned off iMessage (reset network settings)
- logging in and out of appleID in several locations
- removed checkmarks from emails/phone number
- on WiFi, on 3G
- phone restore
Start new conversation: only my phone # is checkmarked. receinve, I have 3 emails and phone number
any ideas?

Casio Camera won't work with SL

My Casio EXZ850 camera doesn’t work with Snow Leopard.
Used it with Windows XP & then with Leopard just fine. When connect to USB ports not recognized by Mac. I checked System Profiler.app & under USB it is not listed. Casio Support is no help. They say it won’t work with anything above OS X 10.4 which is incorrect as I used it with 10.5 for over 1 year with no problems.

I take it that you ahve the IP set to static, or have a MAC address DHCP reservation for the camera, network settings OK.
WHat was the wireless authentication on the old router and what are you using on the new 4200?
Is it possible the camera does not support the encryption used by the 4200, i.e. wpa2-personal?
Have you tried WEP to see if the camera will work then?

Irish iPhone won't work with German simcard

Irish iPhone won't work with German simcard! Can anyone help!? I bought it prepaid in Ireland with u2 but my German u2 card won't work in it?! Thanks for any advice!

Yes, but they are different firms and O2 Ireland sell locked phones as far as I know so the german sim is not meant to work.
From Apples site O2 Eire can unlock but not sure how well that would work if you are back in Germany now, as it usually needs to be active in the carriers country on their network.

Mirroring is done over the local network so internet speed isn't relevant.

My Viewsonic monitor won't work with the Imac using the Mini Port to DVI adapter.

My Viewsonic monitor won't work with the Imac using the Mini Port to DVI adapter. I also tried the HDMI to DVI adapter ane the Mac-Mini with same result. The monitor does work on my older Macbook Pro that has the DVI connector. Is it a Software/Driver issue ?

Should be extremely simple, please carefully read Connect multiple displays to your Mac. If you still have problems then it's probably a cable issue that would be resolved by replacing the adapter cable. You should be using this adapter. If you are using a third party adapter that might be your problem!

New ipod touch won't work with itunes 10.6.3 says it needs 11.1 but I cannot load that on my macbook using OSX 10.5.8 any way around this?

New ipod touch won't work with itunes 10.6.3, says it needs 11.1 or newer but I cannot load that onto my MacBook running on OSX 10.5.8 - is there anyway around this?

No. If your MacBook has an Intel processor you can update to OSX 10.6.8 and then install the latest iTunes.
A 5G iPod with iOS 7 requires that if you have a Mac you have OSX 10.6.8 or later.
You can get 10.6.8 here:

I would like to update to Firefox 5.0.1, but I can't due to, too many things won't work with the version & will be disabled.

I have wanted to update from 3.6.22, to 5.0.1, but can't do to the following reasons: I can't due to, too many things won't work with the version & will be disabled. They are: Microsoft. NET Framework Assistant 1.2.1, Iconix 3.90.1, HP Detect 1.0.5.1, Yahoo! Toolbar 2.3.5.201101200332202 (I don't care about Yahoo! Toolbar, because I don't use it!). As soon as these issues are fixed, I will be able to update, to the latest versions. These issues should be fixed & ready to work, before a new version is available. Thank you!
