Another Program Setting Network Settings

Just bought a 12-inch PB off eBay, and it won't log on to Facebook.
Thinking perhaps there is an issue with Virus scan or firewall, I want to Network Settings.
But I can't do anything with Network settings. It's stuck in a loop of telling me that network settings have been reset by another program. Every time I click OKAY, the dialog box almost immediately comes back up.
This loop just continues without allowing me to make any changes.
Running Tiger.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

If you are using dhcp your ip is dynamic and it will change. I always use ip's, but I'm on a small home network and can use nmap to find the ip's of the hosts on the network, but you may need to address the other hosts on the network via the hostname if you have many hosts. If you have a dns I think there is a command like nslookup that will give you a list of host names. On a terminal, try "man -k host" to get a listing of all the commands to get the hostnames.

  • Your network settings were changed by another program

    I changed the settings on my DSL modem-router so that it signs me in and handles PPPoE, not the Mac. When I attempted to change the setting on my PowerBook Ti to DHCP, using the network part of system preferences, I got a dialog box saying "Your network settings were changed by another program". I could dismiss this window only by quitting immediately after trying to dismiss the dialog box. After a couple of tries system preferences would quit. I can however access the internet through AirPort and the same DSL modem-router. Does anyone know how I can change my ethernet setting to DHCP so that I can surf the web using ethernet?

    To stop the pop-up, Go to System Preferences: Security. Check the box next to "Require password to unlock each secure system preference." Then lock Security.
    Try this cure for Security update...

  • My Network settings are being changed by another program??

    When i open up system preferences>network an alert window pops up to say "your network settings have been changed by another program"...so naturally i click the 'o.k' button to get rid of it, but it immediately pops up again.
    So its impossible to make changes in my network settings because it'll keep popping up, meaning the only way to close system preferences is to force quit.
    What could this other program be? could it be my ISP (virgin media) messing about with my settings?
    so until i can fix my problem i cant even change any of the settings in the 'network' panel of 'system preferences'.......and you guys ideas to fix this would be appreciated!!

    This recently happened to me. Go to System Prefs, Security. Click on Require Password to Unlock each secure system preference. That should do it. After you fix it, go in to security prefs again to uncheck it, or you will have to enter password each time you want to change any system prefs.

  • There is a solution; set your network settings from scratch,

    If you are moving to the MBA from another mac computer, set your network settings up totally from scratch. If you have been having network wifi problems, did you migrate from another mac?
    If you look at the previous macs, all of them had networking primary interface as en0 = ethernet.
    On the MBA, alone of all macs, the primary network interface which is en0 is the wireless and therefore different from any mac you have used via wifi before.
    There is nothing wrong with the Network interface on either but they are not the same and should not be treated as if migration can transfer the settings and be expected to work perfectly.
    If you have had wifi problems, reset your network preferences, not just your wifi settings themselves.
    As someone else posted in internet topic, migration could be your network problem. Reset all network and re "apply" settings if you are having wifi difficulties.

    I know this is late, but here's the only way I got around this issue without having to start all over with a blank iPhone.
    I restored my backup to a DIFFERENT iPhone 4. The restore still "failed" at the very end of the restore, but when the phone rebooted, everything I had restored was there! I then backed up the newly restored iPhone 4, and then restored that backup to my iPhone 5. Problem solved.
    One thing to note; if you restore your original backup to an iPhone 4 that still has data on it, the restore will combine all the photo albums & Music.
    I tried a lot of other things first before comming to this solution. I also jailbroke my iPhone and tried deleting the camera roll, deleting the iTunes sync information, deleting different preference files, resetting settings, etc. Nothing worked!
    I also contacted Apple Care and spoke to an Advanced Support Rep. She told me that other than starting over, the only thing I could try would be to use some unsupported 3rd party software. There are a lot of great jailbroken apps that do great things with restoring data like your call log, sms, etc, but you can't use them if you can't jailbreak the device you want to restore your data to.
    Apple needs to add the way to backup your iPhone data with iCloud, not just the all or nothing setting they currently have. Starting with a blank phone isn't so bad if I can backup/restore my sms log, call log, etc independantly.
    Everyone who reads this should recommend this by filling out this form: http://www.apple.com/feedback/

    UPDATE #2:
    I chatted with Ashley from Apple Support yesterday and she suggested me to restore the phone and set it up AS NEW, NOT restore from backup.
    And it worked!
    Of course, you have to back up everything, but I have my contacts, notes, and pictures on iCloud. All I did was merge them back to the phone from iCloud Setting.
    One downside: you'll lose all text messages. But it's worth it.
    So, thank you, Ashley!

  • "Network settings have be changed by another application" stuck in loops

    I have the exact problem as others with Network System Preferences saying that the settings have been changed by another application. The message goes into a loop that can only be stopped with a Force Quit of the Preferences. I also have the Airport not connecting at start-up without choosing the Network Name from the Airport Pull down menu. I also think it may have started with the last Security upgrade and Java upgrade. I have used the airport utility to reconfig the base station. I discovered a system keychain with a password for the airport that my normal passwords would not open to show what it's password was. I have done many disk permissions and verifications. Any ideas? I would think if this is a Security update error, that Apple would be aware of it by now and post a repair. I have followed some threads on this issue but would rather wait for an Apple fix. There appears to be no way to contact Apple in customer support.

    my iphone will no longer connect to my home wifi. it recognises it, but the searching cirlce is constant next to network name. there are three laptops and another iphone on the same wifi that have no connectivity issues. i have reset the network settings but that did not help. the issue started last week when the second iphone was introduced to the house, could this be the cause?

    No.
    Any problem connecting your iPhone to any other wi-fi network besides your own?

    Thank you wjsten for your soon reply. Unfortunately on these days I'm in a country that Apple don't have any retail store here and for sake of time I prefer to fix it myself to DHL it to the nearest country to use its warranty. Do you have any idea how can I fix it? Do you think it's a software issue?

  • Loosing network settings after cloning a working installation to another machine

    Hi all,
    we're actually preparing a basic installation for a few users for testing Mavericks in our environment.
    Everything seems to work fine except the network settings. If we clone to exactly the same machine type (eg. MacMini 4,1) all works nicely but when we colne to a MacMini 5,3 all settings are gone (DNS, domains, IPv6, proxy).
    The settings seem to live in /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/ and dropping the files "preferences.plist" and/or "NetworkInterfaces.plist" from one machine to another breaks the settings.
    Is there a new place to put a kind of default netork settings plist that isn't overwritten or corrupted when copied?
    Hope you habe some hints to me!  Thanxx...          A3k

    Hi all,
    since we didn't found a solution for this we stopped trying to put the network settings in the template but instead we setup the network with a little shell script at first start using "networksetup".
    Thanks for taking a look...      A3k

  • Transfer Network settings from one machine to another?

    I'd like to transfer my Network locations on my old PowerBook running Panther to my new one that's running Tiger. What files would I have to move over? Is there an easier way to export these settings and import them into the new machine?

    You can use the Migration Assistant to bring over network settings from one Mac OS X installation to another. The transfer can be done through FireWire or from another drive connected directly to the computer.

  • On start-up, Firefox always tries to connect to proxy even if I set the "network settings" to "no proxy".

    On start-up, Firefox always tries to connect to a proxy even if I set the "network settings" to "no proxy". I have to manually go to "network settings" and set it to "no proxy" every time I start Firefox.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    * https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    * Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    * Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
    In Firefox 4 you can use one of these to start in <u>[[Safe mode]]</u>:
    * Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    * Hold down the Shift key while double clicking the Firefox desktop shortcut (Windows)
